In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

Hearing her words, Rod thoughtfully suggested, "How about we buy a costume from the Dance of the Flower Goddess? They should be able to sell those, right?"

"what?"

"The costume for the Dance of the Flower Goddess?"

Dixia's eyes lit up immediately, and she clapped her hands, saying, "That's right! The Dance of the Flower Goddess is the most important program of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival. If we can buy this performance costume, Dina Zede will be very happy!"

That's a great idea.

After buying the Yalda candy, Dixia immediately set off for the Zuber Theater.

Rhodes, who was following behind her, looked around, then quietly pinched the leaf in his pocket and called out in his heart, "Nasita."

Nasita's voice immediately replied: "What's wrong?"

Would you like to come and see the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival?

"This is a celebration that everyone has prepared for you."

Rod took out the leaf and held it in his palm.

If Nasita wants to come and see the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival later, she can simply attach her consciousness to this leaf.

After a moment of silence, Ye Zi said, "Thank you."

Immediately.

Rod felt as if the leaf in his hand had come to life; the originally dark green leaf now faintly shimmered with a crystalline emerald green light.

Nasita remained silent, seemingly admiring the decorations for the Flower Goddess's birthday celebration.

Passing through the bustling street, you'll find the Zuber Theater, where the stage is being set up.

The Flower Goddess's birthday festival is approaching.

The theater has suspended all performances and devoted all its manpower and resources to the Flower Goddess Festival.

"It's a little too basic."

Looking at the cheap furnishings around him, Rhodes shook his head and asked Narcida, "Do you know why?"

"know."

After saying those two words, Naxida fell silent.

"hehe--"

Rhodes didn't ask any more questions and went directly backstage with Desia to find the blond middle-aged man who was directing everyone to set up the stage.

Sheikh Zubair.

The manager of the Zubair Theatre.

You can tell from the name that this theater is his property.

He was the last person to be extorted by the instructor.

"Miss Dixia, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this."

When asked about Dixia's request to buy a performance costume, Zubair shook his head and replied, "That costume has already been pre-ordered."

"It's already been booked."

Dixia looked somewhat disappointed.

No gift can compare to this performance outfit. If we could buy it, Dina Zede would be so happy that her illness might just disappear instantly.

Rod, who was standing nearby, casually asked, "Mr. Zuber, who ordered this costume? Would you mind telling us?"

"Rhodes, forget it."

Desia knew that Rhodes wanted to try and snatch the deal at a higher price.

But it's not worth it just for a piece of clothing.

This costume would be ideal, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Moreover, Rhodes is currently heavily in debt to Dolly, so it wouldn't be good to waste money.

"It's just asking, it won't cause any trouble."

Rhodes smiled at Desia and asked again, "Mr. Zuber, about what happened earlier, I wonder if it's convenient?"

"It's not inconvenient."

"Anyway, that person will be auctioning this costume publicly, so it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."

Public auction?

As soon as Zubair said those words...

Rhodes immediately thought of someone.

Zubair's next words confirmed his guess.

really.

It's the performance outfit that Dolly bought!

Chapter 85 The Study of Exiled Scholars

I saw Rhodes again.

Dolly exclaimed in surprise, "Stupid mushroom, how come I see you everywhere I go?"

This is different from when I called Rod a stupid mushroom last time I was angry.

When Dolly called the stupid mushroom this time, she was clearly not angry; she just said it offhand.

Anyway.

Rhodes taught her knowledge last time in exchange for regaining his God's Eye.

Their relationship is much more harmonious than before.

However, I saw Rhodes again.

Dolly, however, suddenly had a bad feeling, as if this guy was going to trick her again.

Considering that she, the dignified Sangge Mahabai, had been a successful businessman for many years and had never suffered a loss except when she first started out, she only stumbled once because of Rhodes.

It would be a lie to say we weren't vigilant.

"To be honest, Lord Sangge Mahabayi, I was looking for you anyway. I just happened to hear that you were in Sumeru City, so I came here right away."

With a smile on his face, Rod said, "I'm here to talk business with you again."

"stop!"

"Come here, see the guests off!"

Upon hearing that Rod had come to discuss business with her, Dolly immediately decided to kick him out.

Her fear of danger, as if "once bitten by a snake, twice shy," greatly surprised Dixia.

When I first met Dolly at Kavan Station.

The short, stocky businessman left Dixia with only negative impressions of arrogance and greed.

Back then, Rhodes spoke to her with a hint of humility, and he didn't dare to haggle too much when negotiating.

How come several months have passed?

Dolly, on the contrary, became extremely nervous.

She reacted like she had a stress response as soon as she heard that Rod wanted to do business with her.

"Did I miss something?"

Desia looked at Rhodes and Dolly, completely bewildered.

Rhodes, who had been told to leave by Dolly, quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Sangmahabai, please don't get agitated. I really have a good business deal to discuss with you this time, and I'm sure we can make a fortune."

What Rod said was no different from farting to Dolly now.

While saying, "You should hurry up and return the Mora you owe me," she continued to urge the guards to drive people away.

There's nothing we can do.

They didn't even give him a chance to speak.

Rod walked on helplessly, muttering to himself incessantly.

"oops."

"Forget it, if Lord Sangge Mahabai isn't interested, then forget it."

“Then I’ll go find another merchant and tell him that this is a business that Lord Sangmahabai doesn’t want. If you make a profit, you’ll definitely be able to surpass Lord Sangmahabai in reputation. You can also mock Lord Sangmahabai, who claims to never miss a Mora in front of him, for being so blind.”

Rod's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Dolly to hear.

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Dolly couldn't hold back any longer.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Stop!"

"Lord Sangge Mahabai, didn't you tell me to get out of here right now?"

"I'll go find the master of the Mai family right now, and I definitely won't bother you for another minute."

As Rod spoke, he didn't stop walking, and was about to walk out.

Dolly couldn't sit still any longer, her voice rising several octaves higher than before: "I told you to stop right there!"

"Does Lord Sangge Mahabai have anything else to say to me?"

This time, Rod didn't choose to provoke Dolly any further. He stopped and asked with a smile.

"You have one minute to finish what you have to say."

Dolly spoke patiently, though her tone wasn't very friendly; she was clearly suppressing her anger.

That's her attitude.
