Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

Not knowing the story behind this, Yu Qi carefully put away all the weapons in the room, held his chin, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "This is a bit troublesome; we have already booked to open today, and it's already past seven o'clock, and it's too late to find a carpenter to customize the sign!"

"We can't postpone the opening until this afternoon or tomorrow, right? We've already told so many people about it. If we suddenly change the time, not only will it be embarrassing, but it will also make us look unreliable and forgetful."

"No, no, how can we change the time?" She shook her head vigorously. When she thought of the embarrassing scene of going out in front of so many people and announcing that the opening time was changed to tomorrow, Alicia couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on her arms.

That's so embarrassing!

"Well, boss, don't you have the power of grass? I remember that the power of grass has the ability to make plants grow. Why don't you just make a sign on the spot?"

Listening to the idea that Alicia came up with, Yu Qi shook his head and denied her fantastic idea: "It's not that simple. If the normal grass elemental power is gathered together, it can temporarily form things like grass and vines.

However, that is just a gathering form of elemental force. I don't know how much of an impact it will have on customers if I use that as a sign. I don't want to be taken away or wanted by the Qianyan Army as a criminal.

Moreover, even if it has no effect on the human body, if you want to maintain the plasticity of the elemental force, it will inevitably take a lot of energy. With my current elemental force and physical strength, it would be good if I can maintain it for more than ten minutes!"

“Is that so…” Spreading out her hands and trying to condense a piece of ice, Alicia carefully felt it before sighing with some regret: “That’s right, the elemental power of this world is indeed too unstable. It is very easy to react with other elemental powers of different systems.”

"What should we do?"

"Actually, there is a solution." Turning and walking out of the room, Yu Qi stood in front of a furnace. He picked up a few pieces of iron ore and threw them into the furnace. The blazing flames flickered and soon burned them into a pool of red-hot molten iron.

Then, under Yu Qi's control, the molten iron was shaped into a thick block of iron: "Look, isn't this good?"

She reached out and patted the still hot iron plaque. The dull sound made Alicia speechless. She stared silently at the four large, square characters "Yu Family Shop" on the plaque.

"Boss, you..." The corner of her mouth twitched. Without commenting on the name of the store, Ai Lishia gave a fairly fair evaluation of the signboard itself with great difficulty: "How about we just leave the signboard blank for now? If someone asks, just say that this is the specialty of our store, how about that?!"

"Eh?!" With a twitch of his lips, Yu Qi turned his head and looked at the plaque beside him.

The dark black iron block seemed to be glowing with a hint of red, and its surface was smooth and flat without any visible patterns or decorations. The four Liyue characters in the center were particularly square, and at first glance they looked like they were printed out by a machine, with a unique... personal touch.

Okay, Yu Qi admitted that this did look a bit ugly.

But he had no choice. He was a science student and had no artistic talent. It was not easy for him to make such a plaque on the spur of the moment.

"Or, boss, you don't have any iconic pattern? If it really doesn't work, how about we use the Fire Moth logo instead?!"

With a wave of his hand, pure ice elements condensed in his palm and turned into a flying butterfly with broken wings. Under the sunlight, it reflected the seven-color rainbow light, which was magnificent.

Her eyes sparkled, and Alicia raised her other hand and continued to instigate: "Otherwise, Boss, we can use my own engraved pattern! Look, the broken crystal flowers are so beautiful, and dyed a little pink to add a romantic atmosphere, how about..."

"no!"

Looking at Alicia who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and the strange sign in her hand that gradually became more and more colorful as she spoke, Yu Qi's eyes twitched, and he decisively chose to reject Alicia's proposal.

However, although the pattern given by Alicia was not accepted by Yu Qi, it gave him inspiration.

Yes, I can’t design it myself, but can’t I copy it?

Thinking back to his original purpose of opening the shop - to kill time and figure out how to build ships in Teyvat, Yu Qi decisively decided on the logo of the shop.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the heavy plaque back into the furnace. The flames flickered, and soon a brand new plaque appeared.

It is still pitch black in color. On the far right is a hollow anchor logo with an olive branch wrapped around it on each side. Nine icons of different shapes and sizes are engraved around the anchor.

Among these icons, the largest anchor represents the destination and paradise of all ships - the 'port area', and the other nine icons represent the major camps of ships in turn: White Eagle, Royal, Eastern Glory, Iron Blood, Sakura Empire, Northern Union, Free Iris, Vichy Church, and Sardinia Empire!

To be honest, when Yu Qi first saw these icons and the camps they represented, his expression was extremely strange. After all, the sense of déjà vu of these camps was too strong.

It’s hard not to have some different associations!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

Next to these signs, in the center of the huge plaque, there are several large characters engraved from right to left: "Blue Wish".

"Hu~" With a light breath, Yu Qi picked up the plaque and walked back to the room. He used alchemy to add colors to the plaque and the symbols and words one by one.

Looking at the plaque that was half silver and half azure, with ripples like sea waves at the junction, Yu Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Let's use this!"

Chapter 67: Getting familiar with others

He walked out of the store holding the heavy plaque. At this time, a lot of people had gathered outside Yu Qi's store. Most of them were dressed like servants. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the people sent by the wealthy businessmen who had heard that Yu Qi also had the information about the blood-restoring pill.

Such a large crowd made many passers-by stop and stand on the street to look at Yu Qi's shop, discussing what kind of place this is and why so many people are "queuing" here so early in the morning.

However, there were a few people in the crowd who did not look like ordinary servants. They had divine eyes of different colors hanging around their waists, which slightly attracted Yu Qi's attention.

"Hey, Chongyun, why are you here too? Logically speaking, you, the alchemist lineage, shouldn't need swords and weapons made by ordinary people, right? These are all magical weapons made by you yourselves."

At the back of the street, she was wearing a water-colored Changshan gown and shorts. Her slender thighs were exposed to the air. Her fair complexion attracted the attention of countless men around her. She was wearing a pair of high black-soled white boots.

The young man, whose blue hair covers his ears, has a delicate face and an exceptionally gentle temperament, and whose gender is difficult to tell, reached out and pulled another young man with ice-blue hair beside him, and couldn't help but ask as he looked at the dense crowd in front of him.

"How would I know what's going on? The elders in my family inexplicably told me to come and take a look. Well, it's not just me. Several other alchemist families have also sent people, and they are all juniors."

With a helpless sigh, Chongyun took out a popsicle from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth in the surprised eyes of others while speaking: "However, I heard the conversations among the older generation in my family that this place may be related to immortals or something.

I guess he wants us to try our luck with the immortals again. What about you, Xingqiu? Are you here to discuss business? But I remember that your Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is not involved in the weapons industry? ! "

"I know a thing or two about this." A clear voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them, with a lingering aftertaste, as if it were a habitual ending.

"Hmm? Hey, isn't this Yun Jin, Mr. Yun, eh? Why are you here too?"

Seeing the girl walking out of the pavilion not far away, Chongyun and Xingqiu were startled at first. After greeting her, they remembered the other identity of the girl in front of them, and they couldn't help but realize it.

"That's right. After all, your Yun family used to be a family of blacksmiths. Although you have now changed your business to 'Yun Han Society', the incident in this shop has become so big that it will indeed alarm you."

“Alas!” Yun Jin sighed helplessly after hearing Xingqiu’s words: “Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in the affairs here, but the people from the family came to find my father and pestered him again and again. My father had no choice but to let me come here to take a look.”

"Oh, it's me too. My father and eldest brother were busy and couldn't come out, so they sent me here. Anyway, I have nothing to do today. Even if I can't make friends with the boss, at least I can get to know him."

"So, what's the problem with this store? How come you all seem to know everything, but I'm the only one who knows nothing?!"

Chongyun chewed the popsicle hard and his face was full of confusion. He really couldn't understand why the opening of an ordinary weapon store would attract the attention of so many families.

He even sent all his younger disciples here, some to make friends, some to get familiar with the shop, in short, he wanted to have something to do with the shop...

It really confused him.

"Who told you to run around Liyue every day, looking for traces of those evil spirits? Naturally, you don't have time to pay attention to what's happening here."

Xingqiu poked Chongyun with a teasing look on his face and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, how was your search for evil things this time? Did you get anything?"

“How dare you say that?!” It would have been fine if Xingqiu hadn’t mentioned it. As soon as Xingqiu mentioned it, Chongyun instantly got angry and rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: “Why don’t you tell me which ancient book you found the clues about the evil spirit from?! I was there and only realized it after asking the local villagers for information.

Where in this world is there an evil creature with three heads, seven wings, and eighteen legs?!"

Thinking back to when he had asked the local villagers about the news about the evil spirits, and they had looked at him as if he were an idiot, Chongyun felt so angry that he wanted to draw his sword right then and there and have a life-and-death fight with Xingqiu to vent his hatred!

Facing Chongyun's angry glare, Xingqiu just laughed, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed of being discovered for fooling his friend. He reached out and took out two popsicles from the popsicle box in Chongyun's hand, and handed one to Yunjin.

"Well, I didn't know it would be like that. As you know, unofficial history, the records of various legends, always have some exaggeration."

After taking a bite of the popsicle, the cool breath echoed in his mouth, causing Xingqiu to shiver. He then continued, "At worst, when things are settled here, I'll treat you to a good meal at Wanmin Hall.

I'm telling you, I heard a lot of rumors from passers-by yesterday that Xiangling's cooking skills have improved a lot since she came back from her trip. I'm free today, so let's go and try it together!"

"Hmph, we agreed that you are not allowed to fool people this time!" Chongyun snorted with his nose crooked. In fact, he was not angry about Xingqiu's previous joke.

Having grown up together, they knew each other's habits very well. He also knew that much of the information Xingqiu provided was fabricated.

But it doesn't matter. He has long been accustomed to this kind of little joke and just treats it as a trip.

Come to think of it, he has actually made many mistakes, for example now...

“Hmm…” Xingqiu suddenly opened his mouth and spit out the popsicle in his mouth. He looked at Chongyun with a distorted expression: “You added carrot juice to this?!”

"Hehe, who told you to lie to me again this time!"

"Pfft~" Looking at the two handsome young men fighting in front of him, Yun Jin pursed his lips but couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ahem, alright, alright, no more trouble." Shaking his head, as if feeling too embarrassed, Xingqiu stopped playing with Chongyun, coughed lightly, looked at the door of Yu Qi's shop not far away, and called out softly, "Hey, look, the door is open."

He walked out of the store holding the plaque. Thanks to the existence of the plaque and the fact that he did not actively suppress his aura, Yu Qi was noticed by the people gathered at the door as soon as he walked out. Someone immediately prepared to come forward and talk to Yu Qi.

With a helpless sigh, he waved his hand and the heavy plaque fell lightly on the hook above the gate.

This nonchalant move made everyone present stare in amazement. As servants, managers or stewards of big businessmen, although many of them were not proficient in martial arts, they still had basic vision.

Putting aside his real strength, the skill displayed by Yu Qi alone is enough to defeat most warriors. Even those extraordinary people with divine eyes, except for geniuses and those who have really worked hard, most of them will find it difficult to compete with him.

Behind the crowd, Xingqiu, Chongyun and Yunjin saw Yu Qi's light move and showed different expressions of surprise, confusion and amusement on their faces.

"This is a skill that makes it look so easy. This boss must be a good gunman."

As the leading actress of Yunhan Society, Yun Jin is not only a good singer, but also a first-class gunner. After all, many fighting scenes require martial arts and skills, so she will naturally not slack off in this aspect.

In addition, with the Eye of God, although his strength is not that strong, he still has basic eyesight.

"Not only martial arts, the move just now should have used the power of lightning, but didn't the intelligence say that this boss is the owner of the Grass Elemental God's Eye? This is interesting."

Xingqiu raised his eyebrows and commented. He was just trying to get by, but his perfunctory attitude straightened up instantly, and he felt a little curious about Yu Qi.

"Hey, Chongyun, I remember that you alchemists should be able to control different elemental forces, right? So, is he using the same method as you?!"

“No!” Chongyun frowned and looked at Yu Qi, but his expression was a little strange: “But, the aura on him, why do I feel…”

“Qigong? Is there anyone in Liyue today who would practice this art?!”

In the crowd, several members of other alchemist families looked at each other and could see the strange looks in each other's eyes.

It's not that they look down on this book of Qigong. In fact, this thing is a real practice method, which is purer than the methods practiced by many people.

The only drawback is that it is too difficult to practice!

The immortals may not be able to notice it, but when humans practice Qigong, the speed is really slow. Even if a person is a genius, it will be impossible to achieve success in practice without decades.

In addition, the Qigong technique itself is moderate and peaceful, and does not have much attack bonus against evil and sneaky things. Over time, many alchemist families no longer practice this technique, and only use it as an enlightenment textbook for young children to train and lay the foundation!

The formal practices are those that have real offensive power, such as Chongyun's breathing method, ice-chasing sword technique, four evil-destroying styles, and spirit blade technique.

Even the immortals no longer use this book of spells. For example, a certain aunt of Chongyun who has never met is practicing the Great Cave Miraculous Dharma and the True Tactics of the Goddess Sent the Spirits.

Chongyun could not have imagined that he would meet someone here who only practiced Qigong, and judging from his situation, his attainments were not shallow.

"This is really..."

Not knowing what Chongyun and the others were thinking, Yu Qi glanced at the people in front of him and said calmly without waiting for them to speak: "I'm sorry, dear guests, our store is not open yet. Please wait until after nine o'clock."

As she spoke, Alicia also walked out leisurely, holding a piece of paper covered with words in her hand, and lightly stuck it on the wall at the door.

Chapter 68: More and more 'acquaintances'

Watching Alicia put the paper up, Yu Qi nodded, turned and walked into the store, gave a few instructions to the barbarians who were busy arranging weapons, and then left the store with Alicia.

"Let's go to Wanmin Hall to have a meal first, and then go buy some things."

"Okay."

After responding softly, the two walked side by side towards Chihu Rock, leaving the people behind looking at their departing backs and looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh, this is interesting." After walking to the roadside and buying a few bowls of soy milk to rinse his mouth, Xingqiu pulled Chongyun beside him and said excitedly: "Let's go and see what he posted."

"Mr. Yun, why don't you wait here for a while? With so many people crowded together, it would be a bit unsightly if someone accidentally bumps into you."

"Well, I'll leave it to you two then." Yun Jin nodded and looked at the crowded crowd in front of her. Even if Xingqiu didn't say anything, there was no way she could squeeze through in public.

Not only would it be easy to get into bumps and bruises, but it would also be bad if someone had bad intentions.

"Hey, hey, don't pull me!"

With the physical fitness bonus brought by the Eye of God, and with someone recognizing their identities and making way for them, Xingqiu and Chongyun easily squeezed to the door of the store.

Looking up with interest at the plaque that looked more like a painted sign than a sign, Xingqiu blinked and said, "'Azure Wish', this name, and this pattern, tsk, if I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have thought it was a store that deals in maritime-related businesses."

"Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 12pm, 2pm to 6pm; closed on Saturdays and Sundays?" Chongyun read the notice posted on the door in a low voice, a little surprised: "Such business hours...are really capricious. Could this boss open the store just for fun?"

You know, this is Feiyunpo, the most prosperous area in the entire Liyue Harbor, maybe even one of the most prosperous areas. There are tourists here very early every day.

Therefore, almost all the shops here open at six in the morning and close at twelve at night. I wish I could avoid them for a few hours.

A shop like Yu Qi's, which opens at nine and closes at six, even has a two-hour break at noon...

Please forgive Chongyun for being so ignorant, I have never heard of it. There is not even a shop with such operating hours in the entire Liyue Harbor.
