Chapter 184 Zhang San's Journey to Mondstadt

Liyue Harbor is busy in the early morning. People who have to work early have already gotten up and started a busy new day. Various breakfast stalls have also set up their stalls. The smell of different delicacies continues to spread along the streets into Liyue Harbor. This is the most punctual alarm clock in Liyue Harbor.

Ruo Jin was pulled out of bed by Hu Tao early in the morning and stood at the entrance of Liyue Harbor in confusion. Who is he? Where is he? What is he going to do? These three profound questions kept echoing in his mind.

Ying had the same confusion as Ruojin. Early in the morning, she opened her eyes hazily and was dragged away from the Hall of Rebirth by Hu Tao before she had time to wash up. Of course, Hu Tao did not forget to take away Paimeng, the emergency food, so Ying looked particularly confused now, and Paimeng, who was flying beside her, looked drowsy and might fall asleep at any time.

"Hey, Ajin, Ying, you two should cheer up. And little Paimon, when we get to Mondstadt, I will treat you to delicious food."

Hu Tao looked quite energetic with her arm around Ruo Jin, chattering non-stop from the Hall of Rebirth to the entrance of Liyue Harbor. Ying, who was still sleepy, stared at Hu Tao with dead fish eyes. Although she knew that girls with the fire-attributed divine eyes were very energetic, Hu Tao's energy was a little too much.

"Hey, it's delicious."

When he heard there was something delicious, Paimon was no longer sleepy. Seeing Paimon's excited look, Ying shook her head helplessly. It was indeed emergency food. If she encountered danger in the future and used delicious food to lure Paimon, she didn't know if Paimon would transform into a muscular Paimon Pius version.

"Then let's set off, Walnut, towards Mondstadt!"

After Hu Tao said that they had to clear out the guests when they arrived in Mondstadt, Paimon became more excited and urged Hu Tao to set off quickly. They had eaten a lot of Liyue delicacies in Liyue these days. Paimon, who hadn't eaten Mondstadt delicacies for a long time, suddenly missed the delicious food in the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

"Don't worry, Mona said she's going to get her book and will be here soon. We'll set off together when she comes back."

The sea breeze in the early morning brought a little coolness. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the breeze. Feeling a little cold, Hu Tao leaned her whole body on Ruo Jin. Ruo Jin, who was just a step away from Hu Tao, naturally hugged Hu Tao gently.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Ruo Jin couldn't help but sigh that although Hu Tao's body had not yet entered puberty, her body was soft and very comfortable to hug.

Seeing Ruojin and Hu Tao showing their affection, Ying rolled her eyes. Who would be afraid of the cold if they held the Fire Attribute Divine Eye? Even she, who couldn't control the fire element, didn't mind the cold, right? However, Ying didn't intend to expose her, but asked with some curiosity.

"Is Mona going with us? I remember her not being very fond of going out."

"I heard from Mona that she went to Mondstadt this time to fight a mysterious person, but I don't know who it is."

Smelling the pleasant scent on Ruojin's body, Hu Tao buried her head in Ruojin's chest and replied in a muffled voice. Ever since she knew that Xiangling and Ruojin had stayed in Mondstadt together for many days, Hu Tao has been looking for an opportunity to go to Mondstadt with Ruojin.

Hu Tao was thinking about whether to create an opportunity artificially, but she didn't expect that Ruo Jin's friend in Mondstadt was so helpful that he actually invited Ruo Jin to Mondstadt to participate in the Wine Festival. Hu Tao was so excited that she jumped out of bed before dawn in the morning. This is why Ying, a traveler who is used to getting up early, was confused when she was dragged away by Hu Tao. At the same time, Hu Tao also decided that when she went to Mondstadt, she must promote the Wangshengtang package to Ruo Jin's friend. Not to say that she would give it at a loss, but at least she would give Ruo Jin's friend a cost price.

While Ruo Jin and the others were waiting for Mona, Zhang San, who had behaved well in prison when Osel attacked Liyue Harbor, had already been released, and he had arrived near Mondstadt with his brothers.

"Boss, we came all the way to Mondstadt. Can we really make a lot of money? Are we going to be cheated by that old book seller?"

Stepping into the country of freedom and looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, one of the younger brothers became a little nervous. It was their first time in Mond. If something happened and they died in Mond, they would not be able to enjoy the meal they ordered at the Hall of the Rebirth before departure, which would be a huge loss.

"Being tricked? Impossible. You know how evil the things recorded in that book are."

Since being released, the leader of the treasure-stealing group has been thinking more and more that what Yan Fei, who taught them, said, "knowledge is power," makes sense. So he took the few Moras he had and went to the black market, and bought a book called "Grave Notes" from a man called Uncle San.

According to the third uncle, this book was adapted from real events, and he said that he would never sell it if he had not decided to quit this business.

Zhang San didn't believe it at first, but after roughly flipping through the contents of the book, he immediately decided to buy it, because the things recorded in the book could make him rich. Seeing that Zhang San was so generous, his uncle generously gave Zhang San a copy of "Feng Shui".

After several days of reading late into the night, Zhang San thought he had thoroughly understood the book "Notes from the Tomb", and his younger brothers had also almost finished reading the book "Feng Shui".

So, Zhang San, full of confidence, took his younger brothers with shovels and started looking for tombs in Liyue. However, they forgot one thing: where is Liyue? It is the place where immortals and humans coexist and the origin of Feng Shui. How could the rich people who can afford to build tombs not design safe points for their tombs after their death?

Zhang San and his brothers had experienced being burned by fire, soaked in water, struck by lightning, and spiked in the ground, but they never gave up. It was not until one of his brothers nearly died in a tomb that Zhang San realized that the old man called Uncle San was not retired, but it was obvious that he could not enter the remaining tombs in Liyue with his abilities.

But Zhang San is worthy of being Zhang San. When his younger brothers were still thinking about fighting to the death in Liyue, he directly suggested going to Mondstadt to have a look. Anyway, they could practice in Liyue, and even if they couldn't enter the tomb of Mondstadt, they could still practice there.

But Zhang San thought all this was too simple. After arriving in Mond, Zhang San and his friends who had never been to Mond before could not even find the tomb. After entering Mond, they could not even tell the directions. So, based on Zhang San's suggestion, they decided to find a guide who was familiar with Mond in the city.

At the beginning, Zhang San's younger brother suggested that Zhang San go find Zhang San's pen pal Bennett, but Zhang San harshly rejected it. From Bennett's letter, it was not difficult for Zhang San to see that Bennett was a man with a strong sense of justice. Considering that they came to Mond this time to rob tombs, he didn't want to make things difficult for Bennett.

So, who should I look for? Zhang San squinted his eyes and scanned the people in Mondstadt. Finally, his eyes fell on a bard wearing a green hat and smelling of alcohol.
