Seeker of Teyvat

The animal-headed agate cup is made of fine materials and cleverly carved using the beautiful texture of jade. The body of the cup is in the shape of a horned animal head, and the two horns of the animal are the handles of the cup. The mouth is inlaid with a gold cap, and the eyes, ears, and nose are all carved with fine precision.

The cup is inlaid with turquoise and dragon teeth. The height of the cup is 30.5 cm, the diameter is 11.2 cm, and the mouth wall thickness is 0.1 cm. The dentin is white jade color, and there seems to be blood flowing inside. The upper part has a thin open lip, and the middle part is slightly convergent. The lower part of the abdominal cavity has a round bottom, which is slightly smaller than the mouth. The cup body is inlaid with turquoise.

Artai could be appointed as the shopkeeper of the antique shop by his master, so he naturally had good taste. Looking at the two cups Wang Daoyi took out, his attention was instantly attracted.

"This is a treasure from Gui Liji. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, sauce red ground with orange and milky white agate, clear layers, appropriate shades, crystal clear and fresh, this is the best agate cup."

Slowly picking up the animal-headed agate cup, Artai felt it gently.

"It is made with the round carving technique and has a vivid and beautiful shape. The cup is curved and looks like a lying animal head. It has a natural feeling. This is a rare treasure!"

Reluctantly putting down the animal-headed agate cup, Artest looked at the turquoise-embedded dragon tooth cup next to him. Compared to the gorgeous agate cup, the dragon tooth cup seemed a bit ordinary. However, Artest did not underestimate it. With his With my sharp eyesight, I could tell at first glance that the material of this cup looked a bit like dragon teeth flowing out of Mondstadt Snow Mountain.

"The color is like jade, with blood inside, and it touches normal temperature. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, even if this is not a dragon's tooth, it is still a rare and exotic tooth."

Artest put down the dragon tooth cup and looked at the two treasures with a look of embarrassment. In front of these two treasures, the antique he just showed off seemed to be pretending to be lonely.

"These two items are rare treasures and may be worth a fortune. I don't have the authority to set the price. If I want to trade such precious treasures, I have to report to the master and find a master chef to appraise them."

A trace of excitement appeared on Artest's face. He had not been so excited for a long time. If the master acquired these two treasures, then as the owner of an antique shop, he would not be able to appreciate these two treasures carefully.

"If the young gentleman decides to sell these two treasures, can I inform my master right away?"

"Now that I'm here, I naturally want to sell the treasure. It's just that the shopkeeper wants to invite your master. How long will it take to go back and forth?"

"Don't worry, little sir. Today, my master invites guest Zhongli from the Hall of Purity to drink tea and listen to books at Tian Tiezui. He is right next to him. Please wait a moment, little sir. I can call him back with just a cup of tea!"

Chapter 8 Zhongli

Hearing Atai's words, Wang Dao was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that he would meet the characters in the game after coming to the continent of Teyvat, he did not expect it to happen so soon. After so many days of traveling through time, is he finally going to meet the game characters from his previous life?

Moreover, he was exposed to the most popular character in Genshin Impact, Zhongli.

Although people often teased Zhongli as a social loser in his previous life, and he had seen many funny videos of Zhongli, especially the wear and tear series by a certain up, it left Wang Daoyi with an indelible psychological shadow.

However, in this real world, Zhongli is Morax, the god of war, the protector of Liyue, and the oldest god among the seven gods. Although he drinks tea and listens to operas every day, the thought of meeting him When they arrived at Zhongli, Wang Daoyi was still a little worried.

Will he discover that he is part of a group of treasure thieves?

Will he discover that he is a time traveler?

No matter what, what is coming will always come. Thinking of Zhongli's attitude towards travelers, Wang Daoyi felt that even if Zhongli found out that he was a time traveler, he would not take action against him.

As for the identity of the treasure thief group, if this identity would attract Zhongli to take action, it would be to put money on the treasure thief group's face.

Seeing that Wang Daoyi didn't reply for a long time, Artai thought that Wang Daoyi was unwilling to wait, so he hurriedly advised:

"I also want Mr. Xiao to know that my master is the person in Liyue who likes this antique the most, and although Mr. Zhongli is a guest at the Palace of Purity, he is so knowledgeable that some of the old scholars in the academy are willing to defeat him. I just want to give you this Darlings, let’s do an appraisal!”

Wang Daoyi complained in his heart, "Old scholar, is there any scholar older than Zhongli in Liyue?"

However, complaining in his heart, Wang Daoyi still replied to Atai: "In that case, I will wait here for a while, and ask the shopkeeper to go back quickly."

Artest was overjoyed.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go and invite my master and Mr. Zhongli."

After that, he ran out quickly.

"You are not afraid that I am a thief." Wang Daoyi sighed with emotion. If the shopkeeper dared to leave him alone in the shop if he was not ready to become a good person, he would dare to let the shopkeeper know what society is.

Picking up a piece of pastry on the table, Wang Daoyi drank hot tea and filled his stomach. Although he left the aroma of Wanmin Hall, he was still getting hungrier.

Artai was really fast. Before Wang Daoyi could eat a few pastries, Artai led the two of them back to the back hall of the antique shop.

"Young sir, you've been waiting for a long time. Let me introduce you briefly. This is my master, Mr. Ande. There is no one in Liyue who loves these treasures more than my master. Little sir, please give these treasures to my master. It must be the wisest choice.”

Artai didn't care about the cakes Wang Daoyi ate, and politely introduced them to Wang Daoyi.

"This is Mr. Zhongli, a guest at the Rebirth Hall. Mr. Zhongli is very knowledgeable. With Mr. Zhongli's appraisal, he will definitely be able to give you a price that satisfies you!"

Duke Ande was dressed in the attire of a gentleman. Although he was old and had white hair and beard, he was in good spirits. He nodded to Wang Dao and then looked at the two treasures on the square table, with a look of joy on his face.

The person who attracted Wang Daoyi's attention was the guest of the Rebirth Hall named Zhong Li.

He is wearing a modified suit with a lot of Chinese elements. It looks like a dragon robe and a tuxedo. Compared with anyone Wang Daoyi has seen after traveling through time, he is very different.

It can only be said that Zhongli's style of painting is not the same as that of others. Not only the appearance, but also the information displayed by the golden finger, Zhongli's style of painting is not the same as that of others.

……

Name: Zhongli (Morax)

grade:? ?

Skill:? ?

……

"I have met Mr. Ande and Mr. Zhongli, and I would like to ask them to comment!"

After calming down his excitement about meeting Zhongli, Wang Daoyi still generously invited Mr. Ande and Zhongli to look at the two treasures on the square table, well, regardless of the crumbs of cakes on his hands.

"My dear friend, you are so handsome." Zhong Li complimented indifferently. Although he clearly appreciated other people's words, they came out of his mouth with a particularly bland tone.

Before Wang Dao could reply, Zhongli and Duke An went to the square table to study two antiques.

"The material is red ground with orange and milky white agate. It has clear layers, appropriate shades, and is crystal clear and fresh."

"It is carved with the technique of round carving, and the shape is vivid and beautiful. The cup is in the shape of a curved angle, like a crouching animal head, with a sense of naturalness. It is a good treasure, finely carved, with a glassy luster throughout, shining brightly..."

"The beast's mouth is inlaid with a cage-shaped gold plug, which can be removed. There is a flow inside, which allows the wine in the cup to pour out from the flow. It is really a rare treasure."

"This agate cup is not only an extremely rare piece of ancient jade carving art, but it may also have important reference value if given to the old gentlemen at the academy who are studying the Ancient Gui Li Ji."

The two men played with the agate animal-head cup, admiring it and talking to it while marveling at it.

Both of them are experts in antiques, and they quickly set a price for the agate beast's head cup.

"My little friend, you have been waiting for a long time. We are overjoyed to see such a treasure!" Mr. Ande reluctantly put the agate beast-headed cup back on the square table. "If my little friend wants to take action, I am willing to pay one hundred and fifty." Wanmora accept this treasure!"

One and a half million moras, Wang Daoyi learned from the memory of the original owner that the price of goods in Teyvat was actually quite stable, and there was no situation like in the game where a dish costs thousands or tens of thousands.

In Qingcezhuang, the annual living expenses of an ordinary person is about 20000 molas, which also includes additional consumption during festivals.

In Liyue Port, 1.5 million molas is enough to be considered a huge sum of money. In Wanmintang, which made him drool before, the most expensive meal is only a few hundred molas. This meal is enough. Three or five friends are full of wine and food.

Of course, this is only the consumption of ordinary people, and as the currency of all Teyvat, Mora's high element affinity allows people to use it as a consumable when performing various advanced forging and advanced alchemy. This is the real reason for Li Massive molas are minted every year, but it does not cause the main cause of currency inflation.

Zhongli, who was observing the Dragon Tooth Cup, put down the Dragon Tooth Cup in his hand.

"One and a half million molas is worthy of this agate cup. Nowadays, the ruins of Guiliji are becoming more and more scarce, and such intact agate cups are becoming less and less. The price given by Lord Ande is indeed real."

Hearing Zhongli's affirmation, Wang Dao nodded. "In that case, here comes this one. It's a rare treasure. Please protect it, Mr. Ande!"

"It's easy to talk about. I cherish such a treasure very much." Seeing that Wang Daoyi agreed to take action, Mr. Ande nodded repeatedly, "What does Mr. Zhongli think of this dragon tooth cup? Is it a real dragon tooth?"

There are many imitation dragon tooth cups in the Liyue market. Such imitations have existed since the ancient Guiliji era. Therefore, Ande Gong himself could not confirm it and needed the appraisal of Zhongli Keqing.

"Its color is like jade, with a hint of blood inside, and it is at room temperature when touched, which is indeed the characteristic of dragon teeth. This dragon tooth cup should be made from the root of a dragon tooth of a sea dragon beast. The belly is hollow, and the handle of the cup is also made of dragon teeth. The upper part of the dragon tooth cup is open and thin, and the middle part of the cup is slightly convergent. The lower part of the belly cavity is equipped with a round bottom, which is slightly smaller than the mouth. Two symmetrical small round holes are drilled on one side of the cup, and tenons are inserted into them to connect the cup and the hand. It is indeed a rare treasure."

Zhongli nodded, indicating that this was also a genuine product.

"Since it is a treasure, please give Mr. Zhongli a price."

"If I were to set the price, the price I would give for this Dragon Tooth Cup would be priceless!" Zhongli stroked the Dragon Tooth Cup and seemed to recall something.

Chapter 9 Xiangling

"Priceless? Haha, I also know that this Dragon Tooth Cup is a priceless treasure. Since Mr. Zhongli can't afford to bid, please ask Mr. Zhongli to quote a price. As long as I can afford it, the deal will be done!"

Duke Ande did not expect Zhongli to give a priceless answer, but Duke Ande seemed to understand Zhongli's character. He was not angry, but turned to Wang Dao and spoke.

Priceless? Wang Daoyi immediately recalled that in the introduction to the Dragon Tooth Cup, the notes seemed to describe that the emperor might have drank from this Dragon Tooth Cup.

If this is true, then this is the Dragon Tooth Cup that carries the emperor's memories, which is indeed priceless.

Although Wang Daoyi is not a plot person, he also knows that there is an irresistible thing like wear and tear on Teyvat, and memories are a kind of wear and tear. The Dragon Tooth Cup that carries the memories of the emperor can be regarded as a truly priceless treasure no matter where it is. ,

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi made a decision.

"Since it is a priceless treasure, it is priceless. A treasure has been sold today. It would be too shameful to set a price for this treasure."

"Since Mr. Ande has obtained a treasure, which has solved my embarrassment in life, why not give this treasure to Mr. Zhongli for safekeeping first, so that you two can continue to appreciate this treasure without bidding. Mr. Ande ,how?"

Lord Ande did not notice the many activities in Wang Daoyi's mind. He just thought that Wang Daoyi himself could not set the price, so he put it with Zhongli first. In this way, the transaction between the two sides would be temporarily stopped, and the transaction could be carried out again after the price was set. He could accept this.

"So good, so good!"

Zhongli, on the other hand, looked at Wang Daoyi with an unpredictable look in his eyes and said, "My dear friend, do you really want to hand over this treasure to me for safekeeping?"

"Of course, I bought the treasure to solve the embarrassment of my own life. Now that Mr. Ande has bought the agate cup and my embarrassment has been resolved, this treasure is of no use to me. It is better to leave it to Mr. Zhongli for safekeeping."

Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli, wondering if he saw something, but he still insisted on handing the Dragon Tooth Cup to Zhongli.

"Haha, guest Zhongli, since the young gentleman is willing to leave this treasure to you for safekeeping, why not just accept it first. If the young gentleman wants to take action in the future, just come back and get it back!"

This time it was Duke Ande who began to persuade Zhongli to accept the Dragon Tooth Cup.

"In that case, I will leave this Dragon Tooth Cup with me first. If you need it later, you can come to the Hall of Life to ask for it from Zhong."

"well!"

Seeing Zhongli agree to accept the Dragon Tooth Cup, Duke Ande and Wang Daoyi both smiled.

"Then even if the deal is concluded, how about we go to the bank while the sky is still bright!"

As the issuing place of Mora and the core of the economy of the seven countries, Liyue naturally has more than just one Northern Bank. There are also a large number of banks in Liyue, including those from major chambers of commerce, as well as Liyue's official banks.

Naturally, a transaction of 1.5 million Moras must go to a bank. It requires not only a contract between the two parties, but also the supervision of a lawyer.

Liyue's laws are constantly being improved. Ever since Tianquan Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, took office, countless businessmen, big and small, have lamented that Lord Ningguang's speed in revamping the law has surpassed that of the previous Seven Stars.

"Okay, just follow what Mr. Ande said."

Wang Daoyi also wanted to complete the deal quickly. After all, he was still thinking about the delicious food at Wanmintang.

an hour later

The three of them came out of Liyue Bank. The transaction went smoothly. The people at the bank were very professional. Not only did they directly arrange a supervisory lawyer, but after learning that Wang Daoyi did not have an account at Liyue Bank, it only took a cup of tea. He opened an account for Wang Daoyi and deposited the 1.5 million molas traded by Ande Gong into Wang Daoyi's account.

The banker thoughtfully prepared a personal seal for Wang Daoyi and told Wang Daoyi that if he wanted to withdraw a large amount of money in the future, he must bring this seal with him.

If it is inconvenient to come to the bank to withdraw money, you can also use this seal as a voucher. You can withdraw up to 10,000 molas, but you can only withdraw it once in a short period of time. If the seal is lost, you must report to the bank as soon as possible.

"Since the transaction has been completed, Zhong will take his leave first."

"My little friend, if anything happens, you can come to me at the Life Hall at any time!"

After leaving the bank, Zhongli greeted the two of them and was about to leave. He also warned Wang Daoyi alone.

【Go to Shengtang? Did Zhongli see something? Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so forget it for now! 】

Wang Daoyi thought to himself, and then said goodbye to Andegong, preparing to go to Wanmin Hall for a good meal.

Returning to Huyan, there were far fewer customers at the entrance of Wanmin Hall. It was already 3 pm and it was no longer meal time.

As soon as Wang Dao walked into Wanmin Hall, unlike Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Xuan, Wanmin Hall was obviously more people-friendly and down-to-earth.

Entering the door, you can directly see the kitchen. A pretty girl is busy in front of the stove. The girl has dark blue hair, which is pulled up in a bow-like hairstyle on the back of her head. She is dressed in yellow-brown clothes, revealing a pair of delicate white legs. , I have to say, this girl is very attractive.

【This is Xiangling! 】

Wang Dao recognized this girl at a glance. Although it was the first time he met her in real life, in the game, he still liked this girl's love for cooking.

Yes, as a foodie, Wang Dao has a natural affection for Xiang Ling.

[After all, who wouldn’t like a beautiful little cook! 】

Feeling someone coming in, Xiangling put down the pot in her hand and looked up.

"Ah, it's you, drooling little brother!"

Xiangling was very happy when the person she was planning to look for after finishing her work suddenly appeared.

"Drool...drool..."

Wang Daoyi was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Xiang Ling would see his embarrassing scene after just stopping at the door of Wanmin Hall for a while.
