Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Qin Ye picked and chose for about three or four minutes before finally standing up empty-handed.

He was actually quite interested in canning knowledge, but there really wasn't anything suitable for him among them.

"Miss Dolly, I'm sorry, I really don't have any knowledge that I'm interested in."

"Is that so..." Dolly frowned slightly at first, then instantly put on a shrewd businessman's smile: "In that case, you are welcome to visit again next time."

"No, no rush. Miss Dolly, please settle my information fee first."

"Hey?"

So this matter isn't over yet?

Columbia, standing to the side, had already picked up her lute, and her aura had become sharper.

"Don't rush." ​​Qin Ye patted the girl's head, signaling her to calm down.

"I believe Miss Dolly isn't the type to owe people money; after all, she still has a good reputation as a businessman."

"?"

What do you mean? Are you threatening to ruin my reputation if I don't pay?

Just kidding, I'm a local bigwig, after all.

Tolerable or unbearable!

Qin Ye knew that he had probably already completely provoked the other party's anger, so he sneezed and stepped on the floor, creating a deep hole that could fit his entire foot in.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Dolly, I accidentally used too much force. I apologize, I'll fix it for you right away."

The rock element quickly condensed, restoring the floor to its original condition.

"..."

An eerie silence lasted for several seconds, then Dolly chuckled and rubbed her hands together.

"Haha... Look at what you're saying, let's talk things over properly."

Chapter 250 Auction

"Is this what they call an auction house?"

Qin Ye left Omos Port alone. Through a friendly conversation with Dolly, he learned about the auction of divine knowledge jars from her for free.

It's not that he was eager to learn, but he felt that the timing of this auction was quite wrong.

An auction that can be held in a place like this must have something shady going on, but if that thing is really important, Nasita will definitely mention it to Qin Ye before she knows he is going to Port Omos.

The little girl probably thought I was injured and needed to rest, so she was too embarrassed to tell me, right?

Luckily, I was prepared.

Qin Ye stood on a tree branch, holding onto the trunk with one hand, and took out a mushroom beast that was tightly bound from behind him.

"The fleeing sun".

Although I don't know how good the signal is around here, or whether Little Grass God can get here in time, but...

"Mmm...mmm..."

The mushroom beast suddenly let out a struggling sound.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

“While you’ve been resting these past few days, I’ve strengthened my control over the Void Terminal, and that guy named Dottore has indeed temporarily backed down.”

Qin Ye nodded, without voicing his worries.

He had been wondering if Dotole had any other plans, and now it seemed he could be absolutely certain.

He knew that Little Grass God and I had a secret connection, so he deliberately kept quiet to avoid me rushing back and ruining things with him.

From the very beginning, he wanted to gain more time, and although he didn't know what he would do with that time, he was indeed steadily working towards that goal.

The fact that the hidden tricks left by the skirmishers have not yet been triggered indicates that the situation has not yet reached a critical point.

"It's good that there are no problems on your end. The reason I called you here is because I discovered an auction about canning knowledge on the outskirts of Ormos Port. However, I don't know the specifics of this knowledge, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Qin Ye didn't dwell on the matter of Sumeru City any further. After all, Naxida was one of the Seven Gods, so asking for help shouldn't be a problem.

"Knowledge about canned goods? Hmm..."

Nasita fell into deep thought, and the situation seemed to be beyond her comprehension.

"I am still paying attention to the situation regarding canned knowledge. Recently, the canned knowledge leaked from the Order of the Church has been strictly controlled by your colleague. Putting aside the ordinary canned knowledge, the most important knowledge has been firmly in the hands of the Order of the Church."

She shared her insights, and although she had been confined in the Pure Goodness Palace for a long time, she still paid close attention to the situation in every corner of Mount Sumeru.

Since the Little Grass God is so certain, it means that the items in this auction are not the important items that have recently leaked from the Order of the Church.

Qin Ye initially thought it was some kind of divine knowledge jar.

"In that case, you should go back first. I'll attend the auction here and come find you after I get the items."

No, I'll go with you.

The mushroom beast possessed by Nasida twisted and turned, indicating her refusal.

"If any problems arise, I can still help you solve them here."

After all, the people here are ordinary citizens of Sumeru. Although Little Grass God cannot harm them, he can still buy Qin Ye time.

"..."

Qin Ye fell silent.

Actually, I never intended to pay. You being here makes me...

Okay, I'd still dare to take action even if you were here.

"Okay, you can stay here for now."

"Mmm." The mushroom beast nodded its head quickly.

Suddenly I felt a little sorry for the little girl. I couldn't bear to have fooled a child who had never had any social interaction in five hundred years.

She's probably still upset about me getting hurt while trying to help her.

Let this beautiful misunderstanding continue...

Qin Ye covered his face with his palm, and a flash of light quickly replaced his original appearance with that of an ordinary passerby.

Let's not use Zhongli's face in this kind of place. Although I still really want to use his face, it's too handsome and will attract too much attention.

"Halt! Please show your invitation."

Two bald, burly men blocked Qin Ye's path.

"?"

Do these rat-people gatherings really need invitations?

Because Dolly, that unscrupulous merchant, still adhered to the rules of Sumeru and wouldn't personally handle obviously problematic items, her understanding of the auction was not that deep.

But she probably had eyeliner on...

Wow, he's really good at getting something for nothing.

However, since this gathering was so formal, I thought it was a rare item that a large business guild had acquired by chance and was going to be distributed among acquaintances.

"An invitation?"

"Ok?"

Seeing the newcomer's puzzled expression, the burly man's muscles immediately bulged, as if he wanted to kill him to silence him.

"Hey, hey, you two, don't be in such a hurry."

Qin Ye smiled as he looked at the two of them, then reached out and gently touched his clothes in his pocket: "Don't rush, you're not quite used to the new clothes yet."

His gaze had quickly swept over all the participants and spotted the black envelope that looked like an invitation.

The light shone on the paper, and Qin Ye slowly took out an identical item from his pocket.

"This...this distinguished guest..."

The fierce-looking man instantly transformed into a fawning figure, rubbing his hands together: "Please come in."

“Nasita, I’ve just thought about it. The high-ranking figures who will be conducting the auction haven’t appeared yet, so let’s hold off for now. We might need to arrest them all later, so please don’t mind.”

Qin Ye remained quite calm at the crucial moment, though he still scoffed at the useless formality of the invitation.

It's not that invitations are useless, but rather that any form of identification is fine; the insistence on making it sound high-class is something he simply can't understand.

On the other hand, it's fortunate that it was just a simple invitation letter, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to get one.

I randomly found a corner to sit down; this open-air auction venue had a unique charm.

There were only neatly arranged wooden stools all around, about forty or fifty in total, but they were all occupied.

"Qin Ye, since invitations will be issued here, what should we do if someone recognizes you as a stranger?"

"He'll definitely recognize him..."

Isn't this something we could have thought of from the beginning?

"I already said that I just wanted to wait until everyone was here before we talked about it."

If you hadn't been watching, I would have rushed in and wiped them all out by myself, in an extremely ruthless way.

After a short wait, a man dressed in a black tuxedo and wearing a top hat slowly walked onto the makeshift wooden platform in front.

"Ahem, welcome to all the guests who have come from afar to participate in this auction of canned knowledge. I understand the purpose of your visit, so please be patient, our auction is about to begin!"

Chapter 251 Power of the Abyss

Although the auctioneer spoke eloquently, to be on the safe side, he initially only offered some common items for sale.

Qin Ye wasn't in a hurry, after all, he had already made up his mind to watch the other party's performance.

The woman assisting with the auction was dressed in a gilded guild uniform, her hands clasped together in an inverted pyramid shape. Her eyes scanned the scene constantly, but when she met someone's gaze, they became uncertain.

Qin Ye had encountered many such situations. Sometimes a person's words cannot fully reflect their current state, but subtle physical movements never lie.
