Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

Her guest advisor is great in every way, except that she spends too much money.

Although the Hall of Rebirth monopolizes the funeral business in Liyue, this Mora didn't just appear out of nowhere!

If we follow Zhongli's method of flower arrangement, the Wangshengtang (a Buddhist temple) might go bankrupt one day.

Heaven knows that Hu Tao, at such a young age, is expected to take on the responsibility of earning money for the entire Rebirth Hall.

Ugh--

But oh well, after all, our own retainers sometimes have quite a bit of influence. Although they spend a lot, the big spenders they bring are also quite good.

"Pfft—!"

Chen Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ahem, sorry."

Well, he couldn't hold back any longer after seeing this.

After all, there's a God of Wealth living in the Walnut House, but Morax doesn't have Mora, which feels strangely comical.

“Master Hu, I think your method of distributing flyers is too slow. Moreover, many people are very sensitive about life and death. Even if you go to other countries, such as Mondstadt next door, their funeral customs are very different from those of Liyue. So, in my opinion, you need to expand some new businesses in Liyue.”

Chen Bai suggested.

"Oh? What new business? Tell me about it." Hu Tao became interested.

"Since the Hall of Rebirth is a funeral service, it doesn't necessarily only sell coffins or funeral services. It should also sell some funeral supplies, such as eternal lamps and mourning clothes that conform to Liyue customs."

"Furthermore, the 'Pre-Death Contract' service can be offered to high-risk groups, such as adventurers who frequently travel for commissions. This allows them to pay a fee in advance to handle their affairs, and the 'Pre-Death Contract' will ensure that it can arrive immediately and provide services in the event of an unforeseen accident..."

He remembered that adventurers on the Teyvat continent were all potential clients of the Hall of Rebirth, such as those from Mondstadt who frequently went on adventures to the snowy mountains.

A funeral parlor doesn't necessarily have to sell coffins; it could offer similar pre-death services as life insurance.

"Your two ideas are quite good, they have potential."

Hu Tao's eyes lit up slightly.

She thought she could give it a try.

"Master, these guests probably haven't eaten yet. How about I take them to Wanmin Hall for a meal?"

At this moment, Zhong Li spoke.

"Go ahead, but please don't order any expensive dishes. The budget for the Rebirth Hall is almost over budget this month."

Hu Tao waved his hand.

"I understand, Master. Please wait a moment."

Subsequently, Zhong Li sent the bird-themed poem to the audience.

When the group arrived at the street, there were already quite a few pedestrians walking around, including people dressed in Liyue clothing and other merchants and visitors from other countries.

"Liyue is a port city, the largest trading port on the Teyvat continent, and the place where all wealth is settled..."

Zhong Li led Chen Bai and the other five people ahead, giving a brief introduction to Li Yue.

“Mr. Zhongli, I have a question. Since Mora was forged by the Golden House of Liyue, now that the Rock God is gone, how will the issue of Mora as a circulating currency be resolved?”

When Dan Heng heard Zhong Li mention Mora, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"The Golden House produces Mora, which is essentially forged using the power of the Rock God. Now that Liyue has shifted from divine rule to human rule, we believe that the wisdom of future generations will solve the problem."

Zhong Li smiled slightly. He was no longer a rock god, and the Heart of God had been given to the Ice Queen. The circulation of currency on the Teyvat continent would have to rely on the Liyue Seven Stars, or rather, the people themselves, to create a path to wealth.

"I see. However, Liyue should also pay attention to the issue of deflation or inflation."

Dan Heng nodded slightly and responded.

"Deflation? Inflation? Could you please explain?"

Zhong Li's eyes flashed with interest. This was the first time he had heard of this concept of another world, which seemed to be related to currency.

Danheng then explained the information about these two economic concepts to him and compared them with the credits issued by the Star Peace Corporation in the Star Iron world.

In the StarCraft world, all the major powers have their own currencies, making the monetary systems quite complex.

Tewat's Mora monetary system, on the other hand, is relatively stable.

Chen Bai, who was standing to the side, was also listening to Dan Hengyu and Zhong Li's conversation.

He also knew that Mora played an irreplaceable role in the Tewat economic system.

Because in Teyvat, Mora is not currency in the general sense. It is a consumable good in circulation.

Even before Zhongli retired, the Golden House was still generating morabilia, and it rarely caused inflation.

But now that the Golden House has stopped production, Mora will be in a state of constant depletion, which could lead to deflation.

"We've arrived."

At this moment, Zhong Li's voice interrupted Chen Bai's thoughts.

They had arrived at the entrance of the Wanmin Hall, where a middle-aged man in an apron greeted them.

"Mr. Zhongli, you've arrived so early?"

"Yes, these are my friends, Master Mao. Could you please prepare the breakfast we had earlier?"

Zhong Li said to the person in charge of Wanmintang.

"No problem, please find any seats you like."

Master Mao nodded and then got to work.

"Gentlemen, let's sit here in the outdoor seating area."

Next, Zhong Li led the five people to the open-air seating area behind Wanmin Hall and they sat down.

"By the way, Mr. Zhongli, I don't think I've seen Xiangling."

Chen Bai suddenly said.

He finally made it to Wanmin Hall, but he didn't expect to miss the famous Liyue Little Chef.

"Young friend, you also know Xiangling?"

"Yes, I heard it from Master Hu."

"Yes, Xiangling is Chef Mao's daughter. She's an excellent cook. I heard from Chef Mao yesterday that she's expected to arrive this afternoon."

Zhong Li replied.

"I see." Chen Bai nodded.

"This place is very different from Luofu, we must take lots of photos later!"

March 7th said with great enthusiasm.

"Since Miss March 7th is so interested, I can take you around Liyue this afternoon when I have some free time."

Zhong Li then volunteered his services.

"That's wonderful, thank you very much, Mr. Chung Li."

As soon as March 7th finished speaking, a voice came from afar.

"Old man, I've come to mooch a meal from you."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli frowned slightly.

Chen Bai was also taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then a bard wearing a beret and a green cloak appeared.

Isn't this Barbatos?

Why did he come?

Chapter 140 Wendy: I ​​feel like you can see right through my underwear.

"What brings you here again, you drunken poet?"

Zhong Li's hand holding the glass paused almost imperceptibly, his golden eyes slightly raised, a hint of faint disdain flashing across them.

"Oh dear, don't be so cold, old man."

Wendytos (Barbatos) smiled and wagged her finger. "I just heard that you have some rare guests from outer space."

"Your information network is as good as ever." Zhong Li glanced at him, his tone ambiguous.

“Of course!” Wendy said without any hesitation, casually sitting down in the empty seat next to Zhong Li as if she were at home.

He turned to Chen Bai and his group, removed his hat, and gave a graceful bow:

"Hello everyone! I'm Wendy, a bard from Mondstadt. Do you mind if I, a free spirit, join in the fun?"

“We don’t mind at all,”

March 7 blinked and quickly accepted this lively new friend. Then she pointed to Zhong Li, who was standing calmly to the side, and asked the question that had been bothering her, "But... why do you call Mr. Zhong Li 'Old Master'? He looks so young!"

“Well—” Wendy noticed the “friendly” look Zhong Li was giving her and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, if the old man is exposed, I reckon I'm going to get a beating.

Just as Wendy was figuring out how to get away with it, Chen Bai revealed their identities without hesitation.

"In March, of course Mr. Zhongli is the Geo Archon of Liyue, and this bard is the poet from Mondstadt next door, right, Barbatos?"

Wendy: "......"

Zhong Li: "......"

Fortunately, there was no one else in Wanmin Hall at that time, otherwise the whole of Liyue would have found out.

"Huh? This seemingly unreliable green guy is the Wind God? I should have said I was the God of Trash Cans!"

Xing stared wide-eyed, her face full of suspicion.

"Ah Bai, are you sure you're not mistaken? Mr. Zhongli is the God of Rocks? And Mr. Wendy is the God of Wind?"

On the seventh day of the third month, her little mouth was slightly open.

Dan Heng, who was beside her, also turned his gaze to Chen Bai, and at the same time, he understood something.

No wonder there was a heavy aura emanating from Zhong Li when I first met him; it turns out he is the rock god Morax!

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Bai replied.

Qiong: "Then how did you know?"

"Well, how should I put it? In short, I have my own special channels, so, Mr. Zhongli, aren't you going to explain?"

Chen Bai made an excuse to brush it off, and then handed the floor to Zhong Li.

"Sigh—" Zhong Li sighed softly.

Well, since he's already been exposed, there's no point in him continuing to hide it.

So he had no choice but to admit: "Young friend Chen Bai is right, I am indeed Morax, but I have handed over the right to govern Liyue to the people of Liyue. As for this drunkard beside me, he is indeed the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt."

"Wait! Something's not right! Didn't we hear that the Rock Lord of Liyue died suddenly? So, Mr. Zhongli, are you holding your own funeral? What kind of operation is this?"

March 7th quickly interjected, his mind a little slow to process what was happening.

Zhong Li: "......"

"~(￣▽￣～) Haha~!"

Upon hearing this, Wendy finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

But Zhong Li's death stare immediately silenced him.

“Miss March 7th, you may not know this, but I have witnessed over five thousand years of Liyue's history. In this long span of time, even gods grow weary. I was once a god of humanity, and I should have witnessed the rise and fall of humankind. But now, a human kingdom is gradually becoming a reality…”

Zhong Li told the group of people on March 7th about his reasons.

March 7th nodded upon hearing this: "Simply put, you, the Rock God, have been working for over a thousand years and feel tired, so you want to retire now."

Zhong Li: "...Miss March 7th's understanding is not wrong."

Xing pointed at Wendy beside her and said, "And what about him? Did he retire just like you, and hold his own funeral just like you?"
