Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

It was not until the other person pinched the tip of his nose with a smile that Yu Qi came back to his senses.

"Boss, if you look at me like that, it will be very difficult for me!"

"Oh, sorry." Yu Qi scratched his chin embarrassedly and laughed dryly: "Who told you to be so beautiful, Alicia! I was fascinated by you without realizing it."

"Oh my, boss, you said you couldn't coax girls, but now you're quite good at it!" Ai Lixia glanced at Yu Qi teasingly and turned to walk downstairs: "But I will accept this compliment without hesitation."

"By the way, Boss, hurry up and wash up. I've already bought breakfast. Eat it while it's hot."

The small storm was passed peacefully. After Yu Qi washed up, had breakfast, and received the various furniture ordered yesterday, he sat on the first floor waiting for the people from Wangsheng Hall to arrive.

"This thing..." Playing with the crystal obtained from alchemy in the morning, Yu Qi's fingertips occasionally flashed with emerald green light.

Although he didn't understand the principle, he was indeed able to influence mental power through the element of grass, and now it was just right to use it to examine this crystal.

"A mixture of spiritual power, combined with some other elemental powers. Lightning element? It doesn't seem like it."

"This heavy feeling, and the fact that it seems to resonate with the elemental forces in the air around me, is somewhat similar to the rock element Xiangling described to me before? How could it be? My refining formation is clearly designed to convert all elements into spiritual elements."

Yu Qi frowned, feeling a little puzzled, and felt that the situation was a little complicated and a little regretful: "What a pity, if there were no rock elemental forces mixed in, I could try to change the properties of the spiritual crystal and make it closer to spiritual power.

According to the information in shipbuilding lore, this kind of crystal should be enough to make a barbarian."

"This phenomenon is probably caused by the mixing of elemental forces during alchemy. The other six elements reacted with each other, causing the elemental forces themselves to become overactive. They were forcibly rejected by alchemy and transformed into spiritual power.

But only the rock elemental force is too stable. Without the application of specific alchemy, it is easy to settle alone, which leads to the current situation. "

"what?!"

Startled by the sudden sound, Yu Qi looked up suddenly and noticed that Zhongli had walked into the room at some point.

"Sorry, I knocked on the door when I came in, but I saw that Mr. Yu Qi seemed to be lost in thought, so I didn't bother him."

Nodding apologetically, Zhongli waved his hand and placed a blueprint in front of Yu Qi, saying, "This is the enchantment blueprint I hurriedly made yesterday. Please take a look at it."

"As for Hall Master Hu, he is currently completing the final preparations with the attendants at the Hall of Rebirth and will be here soon."

"Okay, Mr. Zhongli, please take a seat." Inviting Zhongli to sit down, Alicia, who was in the kitchen taking care of the pots, bowls, and stoves that had just been delivered, came out with a pot of water after hearing the noise from the lobby on the first floor.

"Mr. Zhongli, please use some water first. I have just settled down, so I didn't have time to buy tea. Please forgive me."

"..." Looking silently at the honey water in the cup that was emitting rich spiritual energy, Zhongli raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "That's all."

"By the way, I wonder what Mr. Zhongli just said... Could it be that you are also quite proficient in alchemy?"

“I know a thing or two!” Zhongli took a sip of honey water slowly and said calmly: “The alchemy used by Mr. Yu Qi should be different from the mainstream alchemy.

Mainstream elemental alchemy has corresponding methods of dealing with various elemental forces during refining. I have never seen the alchemy you use, but I can see that it does not deal with each elemental force in detail. Instead, it merges and integrates them in a unified way, trying to transform them into another new power.

This is…”

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a strange look flashed in Zhongli’s eyes.

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhongli."

Chapter 57: An Equal and Unequal Transaction

"Of course!" Facing Yu Qi's sincere request for advice, Zhongli nodded without showing any refusal. However, seeing the joy on Yu Qi's face, he changed the subject.

"However, Liyue is a commercial country, and everything is based on fair trade."

Looking up at the crystal in Yu Qi's hand, Zhongli chuckled and said, "Since you are asking me for this knowledge of alchemy, what should I give you as a reward?"

"This..." Yu Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he was not angry because of Zhongli's behavior of "taking advantage of the situation to attack".

After all, as he said, if you want something, you must give something.

So the question is, what kind of reward does Zhongli want from him?

After thinking carefully and looking through the many cards left in the inventory one by one, Yu Qi remembered that he seemed to have not drawn any cards today.

With a thought, he clicked on the card pool in a way that was completely imperceptible to others. A white light flashed, and Yu Qi's expression paused slightly, and then he continued to think as if nothing had happened.

"Two-star card: Metal Tree Seed*6, two-star card: Fire Seed*2, two-star card: Digital Egg (Death)*1, three-star card: Skill 'Want to Eat?'*1."

With great difficulty, he suppressed his twitching expression and could not help but secretly glance at Zhongli. He suddenly became extremely suspicious. Could it be that the authority held by this guy as a god was due to "luck" or "fortune"?

Ten consecutive nine two-star cards and one three-star card, converted to the game I played before, is roughly equivalent to one consecutive ten-nine four-star cards and one five-star card... There is even one card that is fully broken? !

'What kind of luck is this today?'

Complaining in his heart, Yu Qi couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his brow. Although this situation was indeed surprising, it was a bit too sudden.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Zhongli noticed Yu Qi's sudden change of mood and found that he was constantly peeking at him, so he couldn't help but frowned: "What happened?"

"No, nothing." Yu Qi let out a light breath, and put aside the sudden surprise for the time being. He raised his eyes and stared at Zhongli: "So, I wonder what you want as a reward for the transaction, Mr. Zhongli? If it is something too precious, I am afraid I can't take it out!"

“Of course not.” Shaking his head, Zhongli lowered his eyes and explained, “This knowledge is not a secret among alchemists. If you don’t want to trade with me, you can also go to Wanwen Collection to buy books that teach the basics of alchemy.

Although these are just some elementary contents, they still mention it. ”

"It's just that you have some basics, right?" Yu Qi smiled and took over the conversation, shaking his head: "It's okay, Mr. Zhongli, if you have any requirements, just tell me, and I will naturally consider it."

Hearing this, Zhongli slowly put down his teacup and answered the question irrelevantly: "After returning yesterday, I went to Yujing Terrace with Hall Master Hu to inform Qixing about the matter of Zhuoyin Spring. When I stopped by Bubulu on the way, I heard some...trivial things about Mr. Yu Qi from the waiter there."

"I heard that you gave some candy to that little girl Qiqi the other day. Although there was some commotion because of it, but..." Looking at Yu Qi, Zhongli's eyes sparkled for some reason: "According to other people's description, that kind of candy seems to have the ability to make people recall forgotten memories. Is that true?"

"Uh..." Looking at Zhongli in surprise, Yu Qi never expected that he could even find out such a thing. Countless thoughts instantly surged in his mind.

"I remember that there was no one else around at the time. Besides, Qiqi was the only one who ate the multicolored candy. How did Mr. Zhongli know its effects?"

The most important thing is...

"The five-colored candy can actually help people regain their memories?" Looking at Zhongli in astonishment, Yu Qi shook his head in confusion: "It should just be a rumor, right?"

As he spoke, he took out the remaining multicolored candies from the inventory and spread his hands in front of Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, please take a look. This candy is just a delicious candy. If you really want to talk about its special effects, it will make children feel extra happy after eating it... As for restoring memory, it really doesn't have such an effect."

"So?" With a raised eyebrow, Zhongli lowered his eyes to glance at the candy in Yu Qi's hand, thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you could let me taste a piece of candy first to see the effect. Of course, whether it works or not, it will be considered part of our deal."

"Mr. Zhongli, what are you talking about? It's just a piece of candy." Shaking his head, Yu Qi then poured a piece of multicolored candy and handed it to Zhongli: "To me, it is just an insignificant toy after all. If Mr. Zhongli is interested, then I can give you a whole box of multicolored candy."

"No need for that." Zhongli took the candy and gently put it into his mouth. He slowly closed his eyes as if he was savoring the taste of the candy. Yu Qi shook his head when he saw this and did not speak to disturb him.

Instead, he turned his attention to the inventory and looked at the many cards he had just drawn.

"Two-star card: Metal tree seeds: The seeds of the metal tree were born on a strange planet. They can only be planted in areas with extremely rich metal elements. After planting, the tree seeds themselves will produce different metal fruits depending on the different metals they come into contact with during planting.

The metal fruit can be stewed in a special way to soften it for consumption, but it will lose its medicinal effect. Eating it raw can promote bone mutation. "

"This thing?!" After carefully examining the six cards and obtaining more detailed information from them, Yu Qi smiled majestically.

"That's not bad. It looks like if I come across any precious metals in the future, I won't have to worry about using them up."

Simply put, this kind of tree must be planted on iron ore or other large metal veins, and the fruit it bears after growing up has the same properties as the metal. The type of metal depends on the first metal that the seed comes into contact with when it germinates.

It can be considered a simple rare metal manufacturing device.

"However, can the fruits of this tree really be eaten?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows with a strange expression, but when he saw the method of eating it, he suddenly thought of something.

Subconsciously, he took out the 'Two-Star Card: Dragon Scale' that he had drawn the first time but had kept until now from his inventory. Yu Qi thought to himself: "Could these two things... be the product of the same world?"

It is just as hard, and it also needs to be stewed in a special way to become soft. Once it becomes soft, it loses its medicinal value...

Which planet is so tough that it grows so many ingredients that even one with iron teeth and bronze jaws may not be able to chew them?

And...is that genius really brave enough to try this kind of "ingredients" and even come up with a special method for stewing it?

His thoughts wandered for a moment, and Yu Qi shook his head secretly.

Anyway, since he doesn't need that little bit of bone strengthening, nor does he want to experience the feeling of bone mutation, he can just treat the metal tree as a simple precious metal manufacturing tool; as for the steel scales, he will see if he can use them when he makes equipment in the future.

Just as he was thinking, Zhongli over there seemed to wake up from his deep thoughts, his eyes emitting a dazzling golden light that made the air sink. He exhaled slowly: "Mr. Yu Qi, let's take this colorful candy as a trade!"

"Mr. Zhongli, are you sure?" He raised his eyebrows, and seeing the other party nod, Yu Qi didn't say much. After all, no matter how you look at it, he was the one getting the better deal, and saying anything more would seem like he was "taking advantage of the situation".

"Well, if Mr. Zhongli likes it, this box of colorful candies will be the payment for the transaction!"

As he spoke, Yu Qi handed the candy box in his hand to Zhongli without hesitation. After seeing him accept it, he began to ask about alchemy: "Then, Mr. Zhongli, can you explain to me a little bit about the knowledge of dealing with elemental forces in alchemy?"

"That's right." After carefully taking the candy box and putting it away, Zhongli began to seriously explain to Yu Qi all the knowledge about Teyvat alchemy.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

"Huh, so I have already taught you all the knowledge about how to handle elemental forces." After moistening his mouth with the slightly cool honey water, Zhongli glanced at Yu Qi and said calmly, "There is still some complicated related knowledge. I will sort it out later and present it to Mr. Yu Qi in a few days."

"Huh~" After taking a deep breath, Yu Qi raised his hand to rub his aching forehead, looking at Zhongli with eyes full of shock.

I have to say, this box of colorful candies is really worth it!

Even though Zhongli only taught Yu Qi for more than half an hour, what he taught was only the most basic knowledge of Teyvat alchemy.

But you must know that for any knowledge system, basic does not mean shallow!

Just like '1+1=2' in mathematics is almost the beginning of all mathematics, in the continent of Teyvat full of traces of elemental forces, in the discipline of alchemy, the manipulation, processing and application of elemental forces are also part of the knowledge that is implemented throughout the alchemy system.

With Zhongli's explanation, Yu Qi had a rough understanding of almost the entire Teyvat alchemy system from the shallower to the deeper, which even involved conceptual knowledge at the level of "God"!

If someone can master this knowledge thoroughly, apply it in practice and bring forth something new, then becoming a famous alchemy master will not be a problem at all.

Upon noticing this situation, Yu Qi did not feel happy at all, but looked at Zhongli with a frown.

"Mr. Zhongli, isn't the value of this knowledge a little too precious?"

"That's not the case. To me, this knowledge is indeed as valuable as the multicolored candy." Zhongli glanced outside the door indifferently and said, "Mr. Yu Qi should know that different items have different values ​​for different people."

"Discarding something like a worn-out shoe and treating it like a treasure, there is nothing more precious than this in the world."

"This..." After opening his mouth, Yu Qi realized that Zhongli was not lying, and finally nodded: "Then, I accept it with regret."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden sound of brisk footsteps outside the door. A moment later, Hu Tao jumped into Yu Qi's shop.

"Oh, good morning!" Hu Tao greeted Yu Qi cheerfully. She turned around and saw Zhong Li sitting there calmly sipping honey water. Her expression instantly twisted.

"Hey, isn't this our famous idler in Liyue Harbor - Mr. Zhongli? Why don't you go out to have tea, listen to music or watch a play so early in the morning? What are you doing sitting in Mr. Yuqi's shop?"

"..." Listening to Hu Tao's resentful words, Zhongli glanced at her, and was not moved by her weird attitude at all: "Master, you are joking. Aren't we going to set up a barrier for Mr. Yu Qi's shop today? As a guest of Wangsheng Hall, I naturally have to be here to share your worries."

"Huh~ So you old man know that you are a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall!" Hu Tao shouted in a hoarse voice, ignoring the helpless expressions of the Wangsheng Hall attendants who followed behind her, and continued to tease Zhongli.

"He disappeared with the enchantment blueprints early in the morning, leaving so much work for me to handle alone. If it weren't for my extraordinary intelligence and my ability to handle everything in an orderly manner, I don't know how much time it would have taken!

Why didn't you remember at that time that you were a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall and that you should help me, the hall master, to share the worries!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhongli glanced at her, picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a glass of water: "Master, you are wrong. The arrangement process of the barrier was already prepared yesterday. You just need to sort out the instruments and equipment today to make sure there are no omissions. Naturally, you don't need me to worry about it."

"Hmph~ That's not a reason for you to run away alone!" Hu Tao muttered. Of course, she didn't mean to blame Zhongli for such a thing. Or rather, she was just feeling a little indignant because she had been busy in the Wangsheng Hall for the whole morning, but Zhongli was able to run to Yuqi early to drink tea and rest.

As a result, Hu Tao drank the cup of water handed to her by Zhongli without hesitation, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, and her plum blossom pupils could not help looking at Yu Qi: "This water is really delicious, sweet and can relieve fatigue. Hmm~ The control of elemental power seems to be slightly strengthened. Mr. Yu, is this honey water what your store is going to sell in the future?"

"That's not the case." Shaking his head, Yu Qi explained, "Master Hu forgot that this is a weapons store and a medicine store. In addition to selling some weapons and equipment that I personally made, there are also medicines such as blood recovery pills and Yuanyang pills."

"This honey water is my personal collection and I won't sell it in the store."

"Is that so? That's a pity." Hu Tao said as she drank the honey water in the cup in one gulp. However, there was no regret on her face, and she did not even ask to buy some from Yu Qi privately.

As the head of the Wangsheng Hall, she would not use the hall's limited funds to satisfy her own selfish desires.

Zhongli, on the other hand, glanced at Yu Qi and asked, "Mr. Yu Qi, are you interested in selling this honey?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhongli." Shaking his head, Yu Qi refused: "This kind of honey is relatively rare in my personal collection, and it can only support my own consumption. I have no intention of selling it for the time being."

"Is that so? That's fine."

Shaking his head and no longer insisting, Zhongli put down the water cup, stood up, walked side by side with Hu Tao, and followed Yu Qi towards the Zhuoyin Spring in the backyard.

At a stone table in the backyard, Alicia was entertaining Yan Fei and Grandma Ping, who had arrived here when Zhongli and Yu Qi were teaching alchemy knowledge.

"Yan Fei, Grandma Ping, sorry for keeping you waiting." After greeting them, Yu Qi took Zhongli and the others to sit down at the stone table. After chatting for a while, he began to talk about his requirements for the barrier and the half-cave heaven.

"…That's all I ask. Do you have any opinions?"

"Well, use the sealing barrier to bind the Yin Qi escaping from the Turbid Yin Spring, then absorb it through the formation and transfer it to this 'Mourning Core'. With its own 'Yin produces Yang' property, this death force will be reversed into the purest breath of life and supplied to other areas in the Half Cave Heaven."

After listening carefully to Yu Qi's story, even though she had already heard the general plan from Yan Fei, Grandma Ping still couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"You young people are really bold. You dare to think of anything and do anything!"
