"I don't know what you were thinking. You actually used the guise of Liyue's handmade traditional blind boxes to trick that dim-witted foreign businessman into buying a hundred of them. In the end, you gave that businessman all the unsold coffins in the Hall of Rebirth. In the end, that unlucky guy even complained to Ningguang."

"What? I clearly prepared three hundred coffins and three hundred boxes, but that unlucky guy only drew a coffin. How can you blame me?"

Despite refuting Su Bai's words, Hu Tao shrank back, becoming somewhat unsure of herself. It seemed that she had caused quite a bit of trouble over the years, and Su Bai had dealt with many of her problems. Seeing Su Bai staring intently at her, Hu Tao finally relented.

"Alright, alright, I'll tone it down this time."

"That's good. Don't bother with your blind box and lottery events. If you do, don't make the prizes coffins, and don't display them outside the store. Those drunkards in Mondstadt might just lie in one of them one day."

Wow, do Mondstadt people drink like this? Drinking leads to trouble, these Mondstadt people who love to drink are bound to have accidents. It seems that the idea of ​​opening a branch in Mondstadt is simply a brilliant one. No wonder you are the master of this hall.

Seeing that Hu Tao was lost in thought again, Su Bai looked at Klee beside him. Klee hadn't seen everyone in Mondstadt for a long time and wanted to go back to Mondstadt to visit. It just so happened that Abedo also needed to go to Mondstadt to buy materials, so Klee decided not to go to Liyue with Su Bai this time.

"Klee, won't you go to Liyue to play some more?"

"Brother Su Bai, Ke Li won't be going this time. It's been a long time since I've seen Commander Qin, and Ke Li misses her a bit."

Klee frowned and hesitated for a while, but still decided to go to Mondstadt to see Jean and the others. She also wanted to test the effects of the several new types of bouncy bombs she had recently made by fishing in Starfall Lake.

"I see. But Liyue is about to celebrate the Moon Festival. This year's Moon Festival seems to be related to food, so there will be lots of delicious food. And because the theme is food, many chefs will prepare some dishes for everyone to taste for free in order to bring good luck on this day."

"Eh! Really?!" x2

The two almost simultaneous sounds startled Su Bai. Mona, realizing she had lost her composure, silently covered her face with her magic hat. It was so embarrassing; she had completely disgraced the astrologer.

However, the food in Liyue is just too delicious. Perhaps it is related to Liyue's long history. The experience and sensory enjoyment that Liyue's food brings to Mona far surpasses that of food from other countries. It would be even better if those famous dishes were a little cheaper.

The other voice, Paimon, didn't have so many concerns. As long as the people around him weren't in danger, Paimon's small head was filled with thoughts of food. He was either thinking about what to eat or how to eat as much as possible during the meal.

"Of course, I heard there's going to be some kind of cooking competition, and Ningguang even invited me to be a judge."

“That’s great! Su Bai, as a food connoisseur who has tasted many delicacies, I think I can help you critique the food.”

Paimon flew up to Su Bai with a bright smile that never stopped. It was a cooking competition, and it was the first competition officially organized by Liyue. There would definitely be many highly skilled chefs participating. If she could become a judge, she would definitely be able to eat a lot of delicious food.

Su Bai saw through Paimon's little scheme. With the intention of teasing Paimon, Su Bai deliberately showed a troubled expression.

“Paimon, as you know, I can’t make decisions about this competition. If you want to participate, you might have to do so as an ingredient.”

"Huh??? Ingredients? No, no, Paimon isn't edible! Paimon won't go, okay?"

Upon hearing that she might be used as food, Paimon hurriedly shook her head. It was too much of a loss to risk her life for a little food. She might consider it if it were a lot of delicious food, since she would die from eating too much good food.

"By the way, besides saying goodbye, there's another very important thing I wanted to tell you all."

"I have successfully assembled a 3.0 communication device that can take pictures for everyone. When you use it, be careful not to drop it or break it, otherwise the communication device will explode."

Abedo originally didn't plan to assemble so many, but he wanted to test the limits of the communication device, so at Su Bai's instruction, he prepared a Communication Device 3.0 for everyone present. If they could still receive messages from Liyue in Mondstadt, then they could start mass production.

Of course, to prevent anyone from using his blood for malicious purposes, Su Bai specially drew an explosion talisman on each communication device. If the outer shell of the communication device was damaged to a large extent, it would trigger an explosion. Therefore, in case of danger, this communication device can also be used as a fairly powerful bomb.

Chapter 221 Farewell (2)

"I didn't expect that even we would be involved. This way, if I encounter anything strange in the wild, I can use this to contact Yura."

Amber fiddled with the communication device 3.0 in her hand, and under Abedo's demonstration, changed the nickname on the communication device to her own name.

"The current communication device 3.0 is not perfect yet. If you encounter any problems while using it, please contact me in time. After using it for a period of time without any problems, I will develop communication device 4.0."

Aberdo had many ideas about the future functions of the communication device, but unfortunately, they couldn't be realized at present due to technical reasons. He also needed to accumulate more knowledge about mechanics.

"Fortunately, Dulin's power includes the ability to control fire elements, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this thing."

"But this thing is really amazing, you bastard Abedo, I didn't know you had any research in mechanical alchemy."

Abess, fiddling with the communication device in his hand, let out a sigh. The more he learned about Abess, the more alarmed he became. He thought he had overestimated Abess, but he never expected that Abess would be even more terrifying than he imagined.

Abedo smiled nonchalantly. He was far from being good enough. The more he immersed himself in knowledge, the more he realized his own insignificance. This feeling might only disappear when he entered the Cretaceous Realm. However, Abedo had a premonition that even if he entered the Cretaceous Realm, he would still be overwhelmed by the endless knowledge.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Noticing that Abedo was staring at him, Abedo shifted uncomfortably. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Abedo's gaze was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of envy and pity, and a hint of determination within that pity.

"Has this guy gone mad from studying alchemy? No, I'd better stay away from him, lest I catch it."

Abe moved closer to Bennett. He knew Bennett; aside from being a bit unlucky, he was a pretty good guy. Bennett took the communication device from Abe and felt the metallic feel of the casing. He sighed.

"I never thought I'd have something so good, I'm so lucky... mmm."

"Bennett, you'd better stop talking. The place where I planted the failed bomb has been blown up into a huge crater by your words."

Before Bennett could finish speaking, Abe covered his mouth. Abe had witnessed Bennett's jinx firsthand. Back then, Bennett's comment, "These bombs are obviously failures," detonated a bunch of failed bombs. To this day, Abe still couldn't understand how some mysterious force could detonate his failed bombs.

"Su Bai, you're planning to call this thing a communication device? That sounds awful."

"Oh? Ying, do you have any nice names? If you have a good-sounding name, then it's not impossible to change it."

Su Bai and Abedo had discussed what to name the communication device, but neither of them could come up with a good name. After all, this thing was appearing for the first time on the Teyvat continent, and even the well-read Abedo and the knowledgeable Su Bai had no clue what to name it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have named it Communication Device 3.0.

"Well, I do have a good suggestion. How about we call this thing a cell phone?"

"A cell phone, a machine you hold in your hand. That's quite a vivid description, Abedo, what do you think?"

Su Bai stroked his chin. The name "Mobile Phone" was indeed good; it was not only descriptive but also easy to remember. However, he still asked Abedo for his opinion, and Abedo nodded slightly.

"The word 'cell phone' must have existed in other worlds. If I'm not mistaken, cell phones in other worlds are also used to transmit messages over long distances."

“That’s right. I’ve been to a world where the technology is very advanced. People can not only send messages through their phones, but also do all sorts of interesting things with them. If you’re interested, Abedo, I can give you some advice later.”

"Thank you very much."

Ying's words made Abedo determined to visit her after he went to Mondstadt. Abedo felt that Ying should know a lot about the functions of mobile phones, so that he could determine a research direction.

"Everyone, although it is very reluctant to part, it is time to say goodbye. If we do not set off soon, we may not arrive at Liyue Harbor until tonight."

Su Bai stood up. Although he was reluctant, it was indeed time for him to leave. Abedo also stood up. After Su Bai left, he would also take Keli and leave.

Seeing that Su Bai was about to leave, everyone present also got up to leave. Before leaving, Abedo gave Abedo a full ten boxes of alchemy notes. If it weren't for the small space that Grandma Ping had set up, moving these alchemy notes would have been a troublesome matter.

"Some alchemical notebooks record some rather dangerous knowledge, so you must be careful when you are conducting experiments."

"Hmph, Abedo, you better not die. Next time we meet, I'll have to see who has the better alchemy skills."

"Oh? Then I'll wait for you to get better. I hope you won't leave any hidden dangers for yourself next time."

After exchanging a few words with Abedo, Abedo stopped talking, because Abedo knew he was no match for Abedo, so he didn't want to make things difficult for himself.

"Ying, if you don't have a place to stay in Mondstadt, you can stay at my house. Yura has a key, and you can have her make a copy for you."

"I understand. Looks like I can save some Mora again."

Ying and Su Bai chatted for a few minutes, but their attention was not on each other but on Youla and Shen He not far away. These two ice-type older sisters who didn't get along were finally going to part ways. For some reason, Youla felt a little reluctant.

"Hey, Shen He, although I don't know where I offended you, that doesn't stop me from taking my revenge. You'd better wait for me to get my revenge."

"Revenge? But I don't think you're a match for me."

Shen He carried a celestial spirit pillar, her calm gaze devoid of any emotion. She had witnessed Yura's strength, and with Xizai in hand, she didn't think Yura would be her match.

Yura's face stiffened. She now knew that Shen He was a disciple of a fairy in Liyue. Damn it, you, a cultivator, are trying to bully me, a martial artist. It would be strange if I could beat you.

"You dare underestimate me! I'll remember this grudge!"

"Oh? Then let's have a competition next time."

Shen He always felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Su Bai and You La laughing and joking. After Ying taught him some knowledge, Shen He also learned that you have to have a reason to beat someone up and you can't just beat someone up because you don't like them. He had no reason to beat up You La before, but now that You La herself had given him a reason, Shen He naturally seized it immediately.

Chapter 222 The Changes Brought About by Mobile Phones (1)

"Hey Zhongli, why are you staring at that iron lump in your hand? If you don't eat, I'm going to eat all the food here."

Seeing that Zhongli's attention was fixed on a lump of iron, Ruotuo seemed a little unhappy. What was wrong with her old friend? Just a few days ago, she had taught her that she should concentrate on eating, but before she could even forget, Zhongli herself was not eating properly.

"Hmm, it's time to eat properly. This thing is quite interesting; I can't quite figure it out."

"Ruo Tuo, Hu Tao said she ordered a new outfit for you to wear for the Lunar Festival before she left Liyue Harbor. Judging by the time, it should be finished. If you don't have anything to do, just go to the tailor to pick it up."

Zhongli picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks from the iron lump in his hand. Ruo Tuo was a little confused. If she remembered correctly, she had been with Zhongli all along. Moreover, Su Bai had said that Hu Tao would be staying in Mondstadt for a few days. How did Zhongli know that Hu Tao was making new clothes for her?

Ruo Tuo continued eating, still puzzled. To be fair, perhaps in preparation for the Moon Festival cooking competition, even the food from the street stalls tasted much better.

"Hey Zhongli, how did you know Hu Tao made me a new dress? Did that little girl come back? But I didn't sense her presence at all."

After eating three bowls of rice, Ruo Tuo still couldn't suppress his doubts. Zhong Li smiled slightly and said nothing, continuing to eat his food at a leisurely pace. Although the food at Wanmintang had a very down-to-earth feel, it was nice to eat at a street stall occasionally.

Seeing that Zhongli ignored her, Ruotuo's temper flared up instantly. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and stood up abruptly. Looking at Ruotuo's chubby little face, Zhongli silently took a picture with her phone and sent it out, not forgetting to leave a comment: 'How do you appease a child when they're angry?'

Unaware that she had been exposed, Ruo Tuo saw that Zhong Li was ignoring her again. She suddenly had the illusion that she had become disconnected from society after spending a few days in the Layered Rock Abyss. Was this glowing iron lump really that interesting?

Ruo Tuo jumped onto Zhong Li's back and peered over. Zhong Li tilted his head slightly, not only to let Ruo Tuo see more clearly, but also because he didn't want to get a hole poked in Ruo Tuo's dragon horns, which were very sharp.

On the phone, everyone was discussing Kurumi. It seemed that Kurumi was going to promote the Hall of Rebirth at the Wind God Plaza today, and Amber, who happened to see this, was describing Kurumi's situation to everyone.

Amber: 'Buy one get one free, the more you buy, the more you get... If it weren't for the supplies from the Rebirth Hall, I think I would have bought some...'

Amber: 'Not only is Walnut handing out flyers, but she's also getting Wendy to sing and play some really weird songs, though Wendy actually sounds pretty good.'

Walnut: 'What do you mean by "weird"? That's a Qiuqiu ballad I adapted for Wendy, an employee of our Rebirth Hall. How about it? Doesn't it exude a sense of freedom?'

Yura: 'I don't know about freedom or not, I only know that last night when Wendy was drinking, he put the bill at the Hall of Rebirth. Just now, when I met Diluc in the Wind Rises, he told me to tell him to settle the bill at Angel's Gift as soon as possible.'

Walnut: 'What?! My Mondstadt branch of Resurrection Hall is already in debt to Mora before it even opens? And if I remember correctly, Wendy joined Resurrection Hall the day before yesterday, right?'

Zhongli: 'Generally speaking, Wendy is indeed capable of doing this kind of thing, and he'll probably do it often in the future. I suggest that you, Master Hu, squeeze more—no, give Wendy more work—while you're in Mondstadt, so that he won't have time to drink.'

Hu Tao: 'Zhong Li, your idea is good. I need to think carefully about how to arrange work for Wendy.'

Zhong Li smiled slightly and gently put down his phone. "My old friend, you're going to be busy for the next while. Even I'm having a headache dealing with all those strange and wonderful ideas in Hu Tao's head."

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Ruo Tuo grabbed Zhong Li's clothes and began to shake them with such force that Zhong Li could hear the clothes straining under the weight, but Ruo Tuo showed no sign of stopping.

"Zhongli, can this thing really allow Hu Tao, who's all over Mondstadt, to send us messages?"

"This is indeed the case, generally speaking, based on rational reasoning."

Hearing Zhongli's affirmative reply, Ruo Tuo was also very excited. She tugged at Zhongli's clothes even harder and asked with an expectant look on her face.

"What about mine? What about mine? Did you prepare one for me too?"

"Well..."

"Morax! You bastard, are you hoarding food again! I made you some delicious food during the Demon God War, and you wouldn't share it, fine, but now you've forgotten about this interesting stuff again?!"

Seeing Ruo Tuo's gritted teeth and the look that she wanted to devour him, Zhong Li silently took out a cell phone from her pocket. When Ruo Tuo saw that Zhong Li had taken out a cell phone, her face lit up with joy, but then she became a little embarrassed. It seemed that she had misunderstood Zhong Li.
