"Su Bai, is your plan even feasible? We're just wearing a Fat Man outfit and we can get Mora from the Northern Bank?"
Ying tugged at her black clothes, her voice filled with worry. She and Diluc had worn Fatui's clothes before when they tried to trick the Fatui into asking about the location of the Sky Harp. However, they were recognized as soon as they entered the Fatui's base, and if they hadn't been strong enough, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave the base.
Now Su Bai is telling her that she can get Mora by changing into a Fatui outfit, and in a heavily guarded place like the Northern Bank no less! If Ying hadn't seen Su Bai also changed his clothes and was going to go with her, she probably would have thought Su Bai was tricking her.
"Ying, don't just look, help me tuck the tail into my clothes. Ever since I got this tail, all the custom-made ones have become too tight."
Su Bai struggled to stuff his tail into his pants and clothes. Ying wanted to laugh at Su Bai's effort, but remembering that Su Bai was going to take her to earn Mora later, she suppressed her laughter and helped Su Bai stuff his tail into his clothes.
"Haha, Su Bai, I never knew you could be this cute!"
Paimon, who was standing to the side, did not have the same mindset as Ying. Watching Su Bai transform from a normal-sized fox spirit into a bloated 'Fool', Paimon laughed so hard that he could hardly straighten up. Perhaps he laughed too hard, because Paimon almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing so much, I don't even have the strength to fly."
Paimon clutched his stomach and found a clean place to sit down. Su Bai looked down at himself in frustration, wondering how Ying had managed to tuck all three tails into his clothes.
After the fluffy tail was tucked into the clothes, it looked like a little belly from the outside. And because the clothes were stretched out, Su Bai couldn't do anything too strenuous to prevent the clothes from tearing and exposing her. She could only move slowly, step by step.
Fortunately, the Northern Bank wasn't far away, and Su Bai had also prepared a hood and blindfold, so he wouldn't be recognized even if he walked down the street.
Ying watched Su Bai's comical actions and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Faced with Su Bai's 'fierce' gaze, Ying shrugged.
It's really not her fault. Seeing Su Bai's movements, she was reminded of a small animal called a penguin from another world. Su Bai's walking posture at this moment was exactly the same as that silly penguin.
"Stop laughing, calm down, we're heading to the Northern Bank."
Su Bai pretended to be serious and said something, mainly because he was worried that he would burst out laughing if things continued like this. As soon as Ying heard that they were about to start, she immediately wiped the smile off her face. This was an operation that would affect her future quality of life, and she didn't want to fail.
Paimon also put away her smile. According to the plan, she was responsible for observing the movements of the Fatui around them. If Su Bai and Ying were exposed, Paimon would have to find an escape route for the two of them where there were few Fatui.
To facilitate communication and protect Paimon, Su Bai specially gave Paimon a talisman. Whenever Paimon encounters danger or notices something amiss, he can tear open the talisman. Once Su Bai senses that the talisman has been torn open, he knows it's time to retreat with Ying.
As the operation began, Su Bai and Ying headed towards the Northern Bank. Perhaps because they were wearing Fatui clothing, they were checked four times by the Thousand Rock Army along the short distance from the entrance to the Northern Bank.
"Su Bai, the Thousand Rock Army of Liyue is truly dedicated to their duties."
Ying, who had always thought the Thousand Rock Army and the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt were similar, whispered a complaint in Su Bai's ear. Su Bai nodded in agreement. Compared to the laxity of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, the Thousand Rock Army's conscientiousness and caution were clearly more reassuring.
Paimon, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility for the first time, also realized what responsibility meant. In order to keep an eye on the movements of the Fools, Paimon, who was flying high in the sky, did not dare to blink. For Mora, even Paimon was willing to risk his life.
Inside the manager's office of the Northern Bank, Andrei was checking Mora's ledgers. As the manager of the Northern Bank, Andrei cursed under his breath as he looked at the young master's expenses on the bills.
Because the young master is a normal person compared to the other executives, Andrei joined the young master's ranks precisely because of this.
As a result, the young master, who was perfectly fine in Winter Country, has become so fond of spending money since coming to Liyue. In less than two weeks, the Northern Bank has already spent one million Mora on him. If he continues to spend like this, the Northern Bank will go bankrupt sooner or later.
"Could this be the rumored revenge spending?"
"It is said that the young master's family was not wealthy when he was young. Having suffered hardships since childhood, it is normal for him to develop such a mental illness after suddenly coming to a prosperous place like Liyue."
Andrei comforted himself with a reason: after all, the young master was an executive officer while Andrei was just a lowly soldier. He didn't dare to ask where the young master spent the Mora.
The reason why someone like Andrei, who had no background, no ability, and no connections, was able to climb up to the position of manager of the Northern Bank was because he never asked questions. He did whatever his superiors told him to do. His life motto was that he would rather do nothing than make a mistake.
"No, I have to see if there's any way to fill this hole. If Young Master keeps spending like this, and if that woman Ningguang uses some tricks, our Northern Bank will be in trouble."
“I remember a guy named Maocai Gong said he wanted to monopolize the amber business with us. Number one and number two, go and ask him about the specific plan. Tell him that if we cooperate, we Fools will get 70% of the profits.”
"If he agrees, then so be it; if he doesn't, then he won't have to see the sun rise tomorrow."
In the candlelight, a ruthless glint appeared on Andrei's face. After receiving the order, the debt collector hidden in the shadows slowly disappeared into thin air.
"Master Maocai, I hope you won't be ungrateful, otherwise I'll have no choice but to find another partner."
Andrei put down the ledger. He couldn't look at it anymore. He was worried that if he kept looking, he would end up arguing with the young master when he saw him. The young master was a complete spendthrift.
He decided to stop thinking about it and find something else to do. He couldn't keep thinking about it. Andrei picked up a light novel that he had confiscated from Nadia, who was slacking off at work, and started reading it.
You know what, it's no wonder this light novel, *My Next Life as a Hilichurl: I Became Stronger by Eating Sunset Berries*, is a bestseller on Inazuma. It's quite interesting. (Nadia is that female Fatui who works the night shift at the Northern Bank.)
Andrei flipped through the pages with great interest, and the imaginative ideas and various strange and interesting stories made him laugh out loud, which made him feel much better.
"Manager, manager, something terrible has happened! Someone's here to ask for Mora!"
Chapter 113 The Plan Succeeds
Nadia, shouting that something was wrong, pushed open the door to the manager's office. Because the incident happened so suddenly, Andrei didn't even have time to put away the light novel he was holding.
An awkward atmosphere filled the manager's office. Nadia rubbed her eyes, finding it hard to believe that the usually stern and unsmiling manager, Andrei, would actually read light novels, especially the one he had confiscated.
"Ahem, Nadia, what are you doing here instead of working the night shift?"
Andrei coughed awkwardly twice, then calmly put the novel back in his drawer. Nadia felt a pang of bitterness; it seemed that Manager Andrei wasn't planning to return the novel to her.
She asked her best friend to bring this novel over from Inazuma. Ever since Inazuma closed its borders, even buying light novels has become much more difficult. I really don't know what that Raijin was thinking; she wants to read light novels!!!
"Um, manager, someone is coming to pick up Mora."
Although she secretly wanted to beat up Andrei, Nadia still spoke to him respectfully about the situation at the front desk. Andrei was a little confused by Nadia's words. Why did she have to come and inform him specifically if they were going to take Mora?
"Manager, he wants to withdraw five million Mora. Shouldn't you personally receive him?"
"Oh, so you took five million Mora. It's nothing serious. You may leave."
Andrei nodded in sudden realization, but he still didn't take it to heart. Perhaps five million Mora was a lot in the eyes of an ordinary fool like Nadia, but in his eyes, who had met many wealthy people, five million Mora was not a big number and not worth his personal greeting.
"But, manager, that person..."
"Enough, step back. Since you're here to get Mora, give him Mora. Don't bother me unless it's important. I have many important things to take care of."
Andrei glared at Nadia, who shrank back timidly. Fine, since her manager had said so, she couldn't continue. Anyway, the manager said it wasn't a big deal, so she'd let the receptionist give Mora to those two Fools. She wondered how those two managed to take so much Mora.
At the front desk of the Northern Bank, Ying quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead when the receptionist wasn't looking. Having traveled to many worlds, this was the first time Ying had done something so exciting.
Unlike the nervous Ying, Su Bai calmly ate the pastries brought to him by the receptionist, while gesturing for her to refill his tea. He knew that the lady's position in the Fools was much higher than the young master's, so since he was going to pretend to be the lady's subordinate, he had to act very composed.
Under pressure from the lady, the poor receptionist had no choice but to put down her work and serve Su Bai. If her clothes weren't so tight, Su Bai would have liked to cross his legs and hum a little tune.
Speaking of Xiao Qu, it seems like it's been a long time since he's listened to Yun Jin sing. He can go to Yun Jin's place to listen to her sing sometime, and then he can put the bill on Zhong Li's head. Hu Tao said that Zhong Li seems to have found a very good money bag recently, so he can also benefit from it.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
After Nadia finished consulting with the manager of the Northern Bank, Ying's muscles tensed slightly. If anything unexpected happened, she would definitely take action instantly to eliminate the fool in front of her.
"Our manager has approved it. Where should we send these five million Mora?"
"If it involves mission confidentiality, you two can give us the address to our manager."
Nadia asked Su Bai very respectfully. After all, this man looked like a high-ranking official, and he worked under the Lady. If she offended him and he said a few bad things about her to the Lady, even the young master wouldn't be able to save her life.
"No need for all this trouble. Your manager isn't qualified to know about our mission. Just bring out Mora."
After calculating the space within the Eye of God and the location needed for the five million Mora, Su Bai simply had Nadia move the Mora out, which he would then store in his space.
After receiving Su Bai's instructions, Nadia led several members of the Fatui to the place where Mora was stored at the Northern Bank. Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that her disguise had not been seen through. But why were she and Diluc seen through by the Fatui at a glance?
Could it be because Su Bai has the Lady's token? Ying was quite puzzled, not knowing how terrifying the Lady was in the eyes of the Fools. After all, she couldn't imagine that the Fools of Mondstadt would rather freeze in the Dragonspine Mountains than follow the Lady. At least freezing in the Dragonspine Mountains wouldn't kill them, but following the Lady was no different from dancing on a cliff.
As box after box of Mora was brought out, Ying's heart was pounding with excitement. Having been in Teyvat for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen so much Mora.
Five million Mora! If she and Su Bai split it in half, she would get two and a half million Mora. Wouldn't that make her rich overnight? Su Bai really knows how to do things.
Looking at the fifty boxes of Mora neatly arranged in front of him, Su Bai nodded with considerable satisfaction. The Fools were indeed trained professionals; their movements were swift and efficient. In just five minutes, they had brought out all the Mora.
Su Bai slowly stood up, pretended to walk around the boxes once, and then slapped the boxes with his hand. The fifty boxes instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Fools were dumbfounded. Good heavens, no wonder he was sent by the Lady. This trick alone is enough for him to survive by the Lady's side. After all, who wouldn't want a mobile storage device?
"Oh, by the way, this is a letter from the lady to the young master. Please remember to give it to him when he returns."
"Now my mission is accomplished, let's go."
As he spoke, Su Bai led Ying through the doors of the Northern Bank. Ying's hands trembled with excitement. To prevent anyone from noticing, she bit her tongue hard. The pain temporarily overcame her nervousness, and Ying followed behind Su Bai as if nothing had happened.
The young master, unaware that his base had been raided, was furious. After hearing from Zhongli that the star snails on the beach were a famous specialty of Liyue, he thought that his younger brother Tok would like the little thing, so he went to the beach in the evening.
Since he had nothing to put the star shells in, the young master piled them on a rock. In the blink of an eye, a figure mixed with wind element stole all the star shells he had painstakingly collected.
As a skilled archer, the young master naturally had excellent eyesight. When he came to his senses, he clearly saw a short man with blue hair carrying a bunch of star shells flying towards Liyue Harbor.
Chapter 114 First Encounter with the Young Master
Walking down the street, the young master was extremely displeased. In all his life, he had always been the one to steal other people's things, but he never expected that the eagle he had been playing with for several years would be pecked in the eye by a little sparrow today, and that his things would actually be stolen by someone else.
The more he thought about it, the angrier the young master became, wishing he could find someone to fight right now and vent his anger. However, he was currently in Liyue Harbor, and countless eyes were watching him. He dared not make any big moves in Liyue Harbor, otherwise, that Yuheng Star would interrogate him again.
"This is so frustrating. That guy, don't let me see you again, or I'll make sure you know that what's mine isn't so easy to take."
The young master's eyes flashed with fierceness, but he quickly returned to normal. His persona in Liyue was that of an approachable and friendly person who loved making friends. If others saw this, his persona would be ruined.
"Sigh, it's much more comfortable to be with Mr. Zhongli. It's torture to be hypocritical with those rich people."
The young master was getting a little frustrated because he still had to go drinking and socializing with those rich people tomorrow, but in order to get enough Unrestricted Talismans and for the plan to go smoothly, he had no choice but to go.
"Mr. Zhongli is so learned, let's find some time to ask him for more detailed information about the 'Unfettered Talisman'."
It was Zhongli who first mentioned the Hundred Taboos Talisman. At the time, Zhongli just casually mentioned that the Hundred Taboos Talisman had incredible power, so the young master took notice of it.
After some research, the Fools made an astonishing discovery: with enough Unrestricted Talismans, they could unlock the demon god sealed in the sea by the Rock King.
Upon hearing this news, the young master immediately conceived a plan to seize the Heart of the Rock King Emperor. However, this required the young master to personally visit the home of a wealthy man who possessed the Unrestricted Talisman. He also wanted Andrei to handle the matter for him, but the man refused to let Andrei into his home.
"Hey, is that bastard blind?"
At the corner of the stairs, the young master rubbed his sore shoulder and cursed irritably. When he looked up, he saw two Fools, one fat and one thin, walking down the stairs above the Northern Bank. This strange combination made the young master take a second look. Hmm, he didn't seem to have such a person under his command.
"Wait, who are you? Why are you dressed as the Fools?"
The young master blocked Su Bai and Ying in the middle of the stairs. Ying's face turned cold, and she immediately prepared for battle. Wind elements circulated continuously within her body. Now that things had come to this, anyone who tried to stop her would not have a good end.
"As members of the Fools, is there anything wrong with us wearing their clothes?"
"Sir, judging from your tone, you must also be a member of the Fatui. Don't you know that the Fatui must wear uniforms except when carrying out special missions?"
"I never expected that your subordinates would be so unruly. I will definitely report this to Madam."
Su Bai shifted his body slightly to shield Ying behind him. He was worried that Ying, that fierce woman, might suddenly decide to fight this guy with her sword, which would attract the attention of the Thousand Rock Army and cause trouble.
Ying calmed down. She knew this wasn't a place for fighting. She carefully memorized the young master's appearance, thinking that she mustn't be seen by him in the wild, otherwise she would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red.
"Then you don't know who I am?"
"Why should I get to know you? Is it because you have a better figure than Lady, or because you are stronger than Lady?"
