Their commission was suspicious.

"Using your fire-type Divine Eye to ignite it should be enough. After all, this is a simplified version with many functions removed, which reduces the requirements for attracting spirits. Also, it won't attract surrounding spirits if it's not ignited. Although this is a weakening of the Soul Lamp, it should be considered an advantage for you. Meow."

"That's true." Hu Tao nodded.

If this soul lamp continues to work its magic, then Walnut will actually have a headache.

"Speaking of which, these people are from other countries, right?" Hu Tao asked after fiddling with the lantern for a moment.

"To be more precise, they're people from another world. They're very curious about other worlds. Liyue has many famous historical sites, so we brought them here. This is Otto, the white-haired girl is Kallen, and the pink-haired girl is Yae Sakura. Meow," Chen Luo introduced.

"Otto?" Hu Tao looked at Otto with some surprise after hearing the name.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Otto asked.

Has he become so famous that even people from another world know him?

Hopefully, it won't be a bad reputation.

"Are you the friend Chen Luo mentioned who dies every day and then ordered 20 coffins in one go? Have you used up those 20 coffins yet?" Hu Tao asked curiously.

"..." by Otto.

Otto had assumed that Chen Luo had given him 20 coffins simply in exchange for a villa island.

I never expected that Chen Luo would actually make it especially for me.

To this day, Otto still doesn't know what excuse Chen Luo used to frame him that day, and then bought him 20 coffins.

As for why? Of course, it's because it was a commission.

Otto knows this all too well.

"By the way, the Rebirth Hall is having a big sale right now, buy one get one free, buy two get three free! Want some more?" Hu Tao asked.

"No!" Otto said decisively.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Yes! Meow," Chen Luo said.

"..." by Otto

Do you want a coffin or do I want a coffin?

Chapter 805 Zhongli: Did you bring Mora?

"So, which of you two wants the coffin?" Hu Tao looked at Chen Luo and Otto uncertainly.

“Of course it’s him. Meow.” Chen Luo pointed at Otto and said.

“I plan to make Otto die 10 times in the next 5 days, so I need 10 coffins! Meow,” Chen Luo said.

"What do you want to do?" Otto asked in surprise.

I risked my life to get five days off, and you want me to die ten times in those five days? Do you even have a heart?

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. I'll make it look like a coincidence. Trust me, the one who can control fate. Meow." Chen Luo patted Otto's shoulder to comfort him.

Of course, that's a joke.

“Oh, you can’t say that. Liyue is a dangerous place. As a boy, and one who can revive after death, you naturally have to be prepared to die a few times. And even if you don’t need it now, you definitely will in the future. Everyone has to die eventually,” Hu Tao said from the side.

“所以到底是买4个赠6个，凑齐10个呢，还是直接买10个再赠送你10个外加你一个超豪华棺材呢？”胡桃问道。

"Wait, if your highest offer is buy 2 get 3 free, shouldn't it be buy 10 get 15 free? Meow." Chen Luo raised his hand and said.

"Sigh, isn't it because the Hall of Rebirth doesn't have that many in stock? Luckily, there's one precious coffin made of special wood, so we decided to offset the discount. But in terms of price, that precious coffin is definitely worth the other five," Hu Tao said.

"A precious coffin? That's not impossible... Perhaps it could be given to the lady... Meow." Chen Luo muttered.

Chen Luo didn't have any ill feelings towards the lady. After all, the lady had only taken Wendy's Heart of God, and Wendy herself wasn't angry. What could Chen Luo say?

Yes, it's still fake.

Zhongli gave away his divine heart willingly, so naturally he wouldn't hold a grudge against the lady.

However, if the lady were to go to Inazuma, there's a real possibility that General Raiden would scatter her ashes.

The main reason is that the first two Hearts of God were acquired too easily, which may have made the lady a little arrogant.

"Can that luxurious coffin be changed to a winter-themed style? Meow," Chen Luo asked.

"The basic design is already finalized, but if it's just a matter of changing the style, that shouldn't be a problem, since coffins in most countries are made of wood," Hu Tao said after thinking for a moment.

"It's settled then. I'll go to the mortuary to get the coffin later. Meow." Chen Luo decided.

"So you're not going to ask for my opinion?" Otto asked.

"Oh, by the way, what color coffin do you want? Meow," Chen Luo asked.

"I don't want a coffin."

"Don't be so polite, it's not like you're the one paying. Meow."

"Karen, let me explain." After being rebuffed by Chen Luo, Otto felt it necessary to tell Karen the truth of the matter, at least to prevent Karen from thinking that he was someone who liked to die.

It's all Chen Luo's fault; he went to any lengths to complete the commission.

……

"Hmm, you've arrived?" Zhongli took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Luo, who had walked up to him, and Hu Tao, who was hiding behind Chen Luo and carrying a green lamp.

"You're here. It was so hard to find you. You didn't even bring a cell phone or anything. Meow." Chen Luo gave every customer in the bar a communicator modified into a doll. But Zhong Li clearly didn't have one.

In fact, one could find it using the power of fate, but wasn't the purpose of my conversation with Hu Tao just now to attract customers?

It attracts customers subtly and quietly.

Hu Tao really should learn from this.

“I forgot. Perhaps you could do better in Sumeru with this ability,” Zhongli said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Alright, then I'll entrust Otto, Kallen, and Yae Sakura to you. Meow," Chen Luo said.

"Do not worry."

"I'm relieved, but I still want to ask, where are you planning to take them? Meow."

"Hmm... Let's go to Liuli Pavilion first, and then to Xinyue Pavilion tomorrow. I've already booked the seats well in advance," Zhongli said.

"Aren't the Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion restaurants supposed to be booked well in advance?" Hu Tao, a local, couldn't help but ask.

"Add more money." Zhong Li took a sip of tea calmly.

“…I suddenly feel that the 200 million Mora I prepared for you three might not last more than 5 days. Remember to ask me for it as soon as you run out. Meow.” Chen Luo turned to Otto and said.

"Also, keep a close eye on your wallet, and remember to help Zhongli bargain when she's negotiating prices with others. Meow."

This time, Mora focused all his energy on Otto for the three-person trip.

Karen is definitely not up to par; she's so-so and could easily lose 200 million Mora.

Yae Sakura won't do either; she's not good at managing money, so the only option left is to bring in Otto, that cunning old fox.

"Two hundred million Mora? Five days' travel expenses? Are you planning to buy up the entire Liyue Harbor?" Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise.

Although prices in Teyvat are different from those on Earth in the Honkai world, and Mora's purchasing power is slightly lower here, 200 million Mora is still a considerable amount.

"But generally speaking, a meal at Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion would cost around 2,000 million Mora, or even more, and Zhongli added more... It's hard to say. Meow."

“I can totally imagine that Zhongli didn’t care about the money at all when he took the three of them on this trip. Meow.” Chen Luo sighed.

Zhongli knew that Chen Luo possessed a special Rock God's Heart.

Leaving aside what the Heart of God can do, the Heart of the Geo God can indeed create mollusks, so there's absolutely no need to be frugal for Chen Luo.

However, Chen Luo felt that Zhong Li must have set a limit for himself, since a large influx of Mora into the market would more or less have a certain impact on the economy.

"Speaking of which, I think I donated 7.5 million Mora to improve and maintain ports that may or may not have been affected by the disaster, and I even used Zhongli's name. Now, how much has the chance of Zhongli becoming the Rock God increased? Meow." Chen Luo asked Hu Tao.

Back then, Chen Luo and Hu Tao seriously discussed the likelihood of Zhong Li becoming the Rock God's agent.

"I can't be sure, but everyone in Liyue knows Zhongli's name," Hu Tao said, stroking her chin.

"..." Zhong Li felt a headache coming on when Chen Luo brought up the matter again.

The key point is that Hu Tao, the head of the hall, seems to be quite concerned about this matter.

Occasionally, Zhongli would overhear Hu Tao saying to others: "My guest, Zhongli, has the appearance of a seven-star."

Perhaps in Hu Tao's view, if Zhongli wants to become the Geo God, it needs to be done gradually, and first he needs to become a Seven Star...

Of course, it might also be because even Walnut holds the Rock King in high esteem.

If you say to others that you want to be a 7-star, that's fine; people will just laugh it off.

But if you tell outsiders that you want to be the Rock King, your house might be blocked with rotten eggs tomorrow.

Although Hu Tao was very interested in Chen Luo's talk of visiting immortals, she had to go back to the Hall of Rebirth to prepare for the coffin, so she had to reluctantly give up the idea.

At the same time, Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhong Li's trip with the others didn't cost money to Wang Sheng Tang. Otherwise, Hu Tao might have been so angry that she would have fainted.

This master is working hard outside to offer discounts, and you're wasting your time here? That won't do.

As for the soul inside Chen Luo's soul lamp that refuses to come out no matter what?

Hu Tao and Chen Luo made a pact that when Hu Tao went to Wuwangpo that night, she would come to the bar and ask Chen Luo to help send the ghost to its final rest.

Due to the different worldviews, if you want to send the people of this world to their deaths, you have to go to Wuwang Slope in Liyue.

Although it was troublesome, Chen Luo said it was worth it.

There are at least 50 Originium.

After dragging the Herrscher of Knowledge away, Chen Luo found a small alley, pushed open the door of the bar, and went inside. As he closed the bar door, he glanced at Hu Tao, who was sneaking around following behind him.

If you want to see it, then see it; it's not a secret.

"Zhongli, was that bar fun?" Hu Tao asked after they returned.

"I didn't experience much of the fun, but the drinks, tea, snacks, and food are absolutely superb. You can definitely make some interesting friends there," Zhong Li said fairly and objectively.

Zhongli hadn't really experienced much fun in bars, since he usually only stayed for about two hours, from 8:00 to a little after 10:00, after which he would probably leave to go home and sleep.

Grandpa Zhongli has a very healthy lifestyle.

"Hmm? An interesting friend?"

"For example, vampires, immortal disciples, heralds, monsters, dolls, gods, and so on. And it seems there's an entertainment area in the bar where you can play computer games, but unfortunately there's only one computer right now," Zhongli said, sipping his tea.

"computer?"

"You'll find out about the game once you get to the bar. Besides that, if you want to increase your strength, you can go find Chen Luo; he can help you."

How can I help?

"I'll help you turn your ordinary God's Eye into a golden God's Eye, but only if you're not a wicked person. But you don't need to worry about that."

Although Zhongli and Hu Tao didn't spend many years together, that time was enough for Zhongli to see Hu Tao's true nature.

She's just a bit quirky.

“Ahem, actually I don’t really recommend that you go to bars, Master Hu Tao,” Otto suddenly said from the side.

"why?"

"Perhaps once you get to the bar, your worldview will be greatly shaken."

"Then I'm even more determined to go!" Hu Tao's eyes shone with an even stronger light of curiosity.

With this expectation in mind, Hu Tao excitedly went to prepare a coffin for Chen Luo.

“Well, Mr. Zhongli, you may be in deep trouble,” Otto said, sitting down next to Zhongli.

"Why?"

"Everyone who needs to know that Wendy is the Wind God already knows. Although it's no longer mentioned, if Master Hu Tao finds out... how do you think he'll guess your identity then?"

Zhongli paused for a moment, holding the teacup.

"It's alright. Hu Tao is probably only interested in Zhong Li becoming the Rock King Emperor, since it's a very fun thing. But she might not be as interested in the Rock King Emperor as you imagine," Zhong Li quickly recovered and said.

Or perhaps Zhongli felt it would be better to just let Hu Tao know that he was the Rock King Emperor.

In that case, she probably wouldn't act as recklessly as Chen Luo.
