Because during their time together, she discovered that Yin Kong's mental age was actually very young.

At least, he doesn't look like one of those old geezers who've lived for hundreds of years.

Paimon explained:

“You don’t need to be so surprised, because Oloren comes from a tribe called the [Smoke Lords]. It’s mostly his grandparents there, except for Ifa…”

Euron nodded and said:

"Grandma Paimon is right."

Goodness, even Paimon can be a grandma?

Seeing the tall and imposing Orloren address the five- or six-year-old Paimon as "Grandma," and especially with his serious tone and expression, Aoyama Nanami still found it very strange.

No, let me take another look. It still feels so strange.

Speaking of this, Yin Kong also remembered something:

"By the way, Oloren, from now on call me Grandpa Diamond Pickaxe."

Grandpa Diamond Pickaxe, what the heck is this?

This time, even Paimon couldn't keep up with Yin Kong's train of thought, but Ororen nodded slightly and agreed directly:

"No problem, Grandpa Diamond Pickaxe."

Yin Kong was in high spirits and clapped his hands, saying:

“Good friends, my grandson grew up in the tribe, so he may lack some common sense. As elders, please take good care of him in the future.”

Aoyama Nanami probably never dreamed that he would suddenly have a grandson while he was at work.

Moreover, although Orloren was not a muscular man, he was still tall and the strong muscle outline on his arms could be clearly seen.

Does someone like this really need to be taken care of by themselves?

However, this Mr. Orloren, like Miss Candice, also has heterochromia, and what's standing upright on his head is—an ear?

Looking at the uniquely shaped bat ears, Aoyama Nanami blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Is this some kind of new headdress? It seems to be part of a set with Euron's bat cloak; it's quite unique.

After the high school girl left work with a belly full of questions, everyone was finally able to speak freely.

Ms. Yoko asked Candice with great curiosity which kind of instrument she was good at playing. As an idol, she had common instruments like guitar, bass, and ukulele in her apartment.

At Yin Kong's suggestion, Orloren also chatted with Ke Lai about his experience in vegetable cultivation.

Yin Kong had no doubt that if his beloved grandson went to Sumeru, he would definitely be able to raise all those Lan Na Luos into plump, white radishes.

“I could hear them murmuring complaints that the nutrition here wasn’t good enough.”

Because his soul was so sensitive, Orloren could even "hear" the voices of the vegetables.

Of course, vegetables have very low intelligence; even if ordinary people can hear their voices, they are basically just expressing pure emotions.

Translating their words into a specific language that people can understand relies entirely on Orloren's years of experience and insights.

"Let me think, it must be due to a lack of trace amounts of elemental power... or rather, the elemental power here is too balanced."

The soil in the Dust Song Pot contains all kinds of elemental power in a very balanced way, which ensures that almost all kinds of plants can take root and sprout.

However, it is precisely because of this overly balanced diet that these specialties, while able to grow normally, are limited to that, growing in a very ordinary way, and even appearing somewhat "malnourished" in the eyes of Euron, the great "vegetable man".

Of course, Cole is also adjusting the soil's nutrient composition, but it's clear that without being able to hear the plants' voices, she needs a lot of experiments and trials to achieve this.

"I brought a few honey bugs with me. They can feed everyone with trace amounts of elemental energy, keeping everyone in a good mood and helping them grow strong..."

When talking about the honey bugs, Orloren spoke with great pride, as if he were talking about his most prized vegetables.

"Great, such a convenient ability."

Seeing these agile and obedient helpers, Cole couldn't help but feel a little envious.

If Master Tinari were here, he would surely have a lot in common with this Mr. Orloren.

Of course, besides them, Yin Kong also talked to Mona about serious matters:

"Windmill Chrysanthemum, Mora, Singing Grass, Tree King Mushroom, Sea Dew Flower, Blazing Flower, Ice Mist Flower..."

While muttering to herself, Mona prepared a large amount of materials.

In addition to [Stone Amber] and rock-attribute crystal fragments, Zhongli also needs three portions of [Slime Condensate] as breakthrough materials.

However, slimes probably no longer exist as monsters in this world.

Fortunately, Mona proudly stated that although she was an astrologer, she also knew a little about alchemy, and therefore knew the secret recipe for synthesizing slime condensate:

"For the great Mona, such a small matter is nothing more than a piece of cake, so please praise me to your heart's content!"

Of course, before Yin Kong could even exclaim in surprise, Fischl had already revealed the origin of this secret recipe.

This is what Mona learned from the "Son of Chalk" during an academic exchange with Abedo.

As for the reason, it was simply because she was often so poor that she had to eat dirt, so she suddenly had a whimsical idea to try and see if she could synthesize a large amount of slime liquid through alchemy.

After all, compared to being hungry or eating dirt, slime liquid is actually quite delicious.

The result, however, is equally obvious.

Abedo's secret recipe can indeed produce a large amount of slime condensate very conveniently, and the operation is simple enough that even a complete novice like Mona, who only has a little bit of basic knowledge, can easily operate it.

The only problem is that, apart from Mora, all seven ingredients are local specialties of their respective regions.

Especially the Tree King Mushroom; in Mondstadt, the price of just one is equivalent to Mona's weekly food expenses.

Even excluding labor costs, the cost is at least a hundred times that of commercially available slime gel.

If Mona could produce that much Mora, she might as well just go to the Deer Hunter's Restaurant and have a feast.

Mona, whose truth was ruthlessly exposed, immediately slumped down like a punctured ball.

Chapter 180 Gift

"Back then, Lady Megistus was depressed for a long time because her plan failed."

"Little Amy!"

Mona, whose secrets had been exposed, was initially dejected but immediately became enraged and grabbed Fischl's twin ponytails, shaking her head violently.

"I...I am Fischl, the Princess of Judgment! Who...who is little Amy?!"

Despite his inability to speak fluently, Fischl still tried his best to correct him.

So, Fischl's nickname is Little Amy?

Moreover, some of the agents of the Cunning Rabbit House are so hungry that they have to eat dirt?

Ms. Yoko felt that every time she thought she knew Rabbit House quite well, she would encounter things that refreshed her understanding.

So hungry I'm eating dirt...

This Ms. Mona must get along very well with Nanami Aoyama, right?

But why would someone so capable fall to the point of having to eat dirt?

"Because Mona can never control her hands."

Don't be fooled by Mona's empty wallet; it doesn't mean she's broke.

On the contrary, although her income and wealth cannot be compared with those of Diluc and Abel, they are still among the highest in Mondstadt.

However, whenever income comes in, Mona can no longer suppress her burgeoning desire to spend, turning her newly acquired Mora into various sophisticated and expensive astronomical instruments—

Just like the pink ball in Yin Kong's hand now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is almost never kept overnight.

In this situation, unless an old man helps her make coins, or Ningguang silently supports her from behind, no amount of Mora can change Mona's current situation, right?

Fortunately, after temporarily settling in Mondstadt, even when her pockets were empty, Mona rarely actually had to eat dirt anymore.

Besides the abundant supply of Wind-blown Mushrooms under the eaves, it's also because Mondstadt has adventurers like Fischl who are willing to let her mooch meals.

Therefore, even though she had already seen Fischl's past through water divination, Mona was still willing to play along with her antics.

However, all of this is predicated on the fact that she does not have red heat.

Seeing this, Paimon couldn't help but sigh:

"The two of you still have such a good relationship."

Of course, despite all the fun and joking around, Mona didn't forget her business after shaking Fischl and successfully created the slime.

In this way, Zhongli's only remaining material for breakthrough is the Tianhuang stone from tomorrow.

With such anticipation, Yin Kong felt that time flew by as he learned new immortal talismans.

Candice naturally did not forget her promise. Although she could not find the instrument that Yoko was most used to playing at her house, she got used to it after a little practice.

As the "village guardian" played his soothing and gentle music, Yin Kong also drifted off to sleep with Paimon in his arms.

Cicadas... cicadas...

The next morning, Yin Kong woke up to the sound of cicadas chirping.

Sure enough, it's midsummer again today.

Yin Kong stretched slowly and quickly opened the prayer interface.

[Fish and Dragon Lanterns in the Daytime] [Thunder and Rain, Quick Rain, Clear Skies]

It turns out it went from the gacha banner for Master K to the gacha banner for Master K?

Yin Kong's expression immediately became conflicted, because the three four-star characters he was running alongside—[Ningguang], [Bennett], and [Barbara]—were all quite good, characters that he felt would definitely be worth the effort to pull.

Especially Bennett, who is an indispensable "six-star Vulcan" in the Nata warship, and whose reputation for "unthinkable praise" is known to everyone.

It also greatly helped him to open up the abyss.

The only problem is that the featured 5-star character in this banner is Keqing, who is a permanent character.

If he actually managed to get an early bonus by filling the pool, and the engraver ended up taking away his guaranteed win, then Yin Kong would probably be heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe.

After closing the prayer interface, Yin Kong opened the large map.

Upon discovering that Conan had no mission, he immediately concealed himself and teleported to the Mouri Detective Agency.

That strange feeling is back again!

Conan shuddered again and immediately looked around, but unsurprisingly, he still didn't find anything unusual.

This time, Yin Kong had no intention of making a formal visit; he only planned to quietly leave after clearing his energy.

Because if he always appears after a strange feeling, then not only Conan, but even a corgi would notice the problem and connect the two, right?

It's worth mentioning that Conan was clearly somewhat distracted at the moment.

Not only because Ran had lectured him for almost several hours, but also because he had asked Professor Agasa overnight to conduct a fingerprint comparison.

The good news is that the comparison actually yielded results.

Keep in mind that this was in the 1990s, and even 20 or 30 years later, fingerprint databases were far from being perfect enough to record everyone's fingerprints.

Therefore, Conan was actually mentally prepared to gain nothing.

The bad news is that the owner of that fingerprint was none other than Kogoro Mouri.

This was clearly a bizarre outcome that Conan had never anticipated.

For a moment, he even couldn't help but doubt Kogoro Mouri's identity.

Could this guy be the kind of seemingly clueless guy who's actually a spy working for some mysterious organization?

To be honest, after having this thought, the more Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri's various behaviors, the more he felt that he was pretending to be confused.

After all, would someone really be that stupid?

"Conan, what kind of gift do you think Mr. Yin Kong would like?"

Of course, besides Conan, who couldn't help but start paying attention to Kogoro Mouri's every move and becoming more and more shocked, Ran was also struggling with her own dilemma.

Today, she plans to formally visit the Rabbit House with Conan and a gift to express her gratitude.

The problem now is that she can't think of any hobbies Yin Kong might have, and she doesn't know what kind of gift to prepare.

"Of course it's alcohol."
