    Chapter 81: Zhong Li: A Vase!!! No!!

    January 21, 2025

    Chapter 81: Zhong Li: A Vase!!! No!!

    Zhong Li saw Hutao carrying a vase into Silver Wolf’s private room, and a strange feeling of unease washed over him.

    What was the hall master doing with his vase?

    Zhong Li pondered for a moment, then walked to the side of the room and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

    Inside the private room:

    “Silver Wolf, did you post it?”

    “Yes, yes, but it might not sell that quickly.”

    “No hurry, no hurry, as long as it sells. How much did you list it for?”

    “I listed it for 6 million first. Maybe some sucker will pay a higher price.”

    Suddenly, Hutao’s exclamation echoed from inside the room.

    “Wow! Someone bought it already? 6 million credit points!”

    “Whoa, there really is a sucker! Let me check who this big spender is. Let’s see… Sand Gold, one of the Stone Heart Ten, a rich guy.”

    Hearing that his vase was about to be sold, Zhong Li immediately knocked on the door.

    The door opened, and Hutao poked her head out.

    “Guest lecturer? Why are you here if you’re not drinking tea?”

    Zhong Li said without expression:

    “I just saw you take my vase.”

    Hutao didn’t deny it.

    “That’s right, I took it. I’m selling it to buy a computer. Okay, okay, you go about your business, I’ll talk to Silver Wolf about the computer.”

    With that, Hutao closed the door.

    Zhong Li felt inexplicably despondent.

    His little vase! It was his favorite! He would take care of it whenever he had free time, wiping away the dust on its surface.

    Zhong Li walked to the tea break area and sat down with a low-spirited expression. Seeing this, Venti curiously asked:

    “Old man, what’s wrong with you?”

    Zhong Li responded with a chilling whisper.

    “Vase… vase… vase… heh… gone.”

    Venti, recalling Hutao carrying a vase just now, immediately understood and patted Zhong Li on the shoulder.

    “Old man, my condolences.”

    Soon, Silver Wolf received the money.

    Silver Wolf directly transferred 4 million, and the remaining 2 million went into Hutao’s card.

    The two agreed to assemble the machine tomorrow.

    Silver Wolf’s after-sales service was quite good; she would personally install it.

    In the tea break area:

    Bronya was chatting with Jean when Ganyu and Keqing walked over.

    Ganyu looked at Jean.

    “Hello, my pen pal, this is our first official meeting, isn’t it?”

    Upon hearing this, Jean immediately guessed Ganyu’s identity.

    “You’re Ganyu? Hello, Ganyu!”

    Ganyu chuckled softly.

    “What are you two chatting about?”

    Jean replied,

    “We’re discussing some experiences in governing the nation.”

    Ganyu responded:

    “Oh? Would you mind if we join you? Let me introduce myself. Next to me is Keqing, the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing.”

    Keqing followed with her self-introduction.

    “Hello, I’m Keqing, the Tianquan of Liyue. Nice to meet you.”

    Bronya and Jean also introduced themselves.

    After the introductions, the four sat down to chat.

    Jean said to Bronya,

    “Bronya, you don’t know, Ganyu is the ruler of our neighboring Liyue nation, her experience is far richer than ours.”

    Ganyu smiled.

    “Oh, it’s just some small tricks.”

    Following this, the four women discussed some governing methods and experiences.

    With Ganyu and Keqing’s participation, it essentially became Ganyu and Keqing doing the talking, while Bronya and Jean took notes.

    Seeing this, Yelan came to sit at the small bar.

    After glancing at Noelle who was busy, Yelan went into the bar and poured herself a drink.

    Ye Yun had said that the drinks in the small bar were free for everyone except a certain alcoholic.

    As for why the alcoholic was excluded? Need we say more? Ye Yun was afraid that the bar’s liquor would be emptied in a few days.

    Yelan eyed Venti. The information she gathered in Liyue indicated that he suddenly appeared in Mondstadt, and no one had seen him before.

    Therefore, Yelan was very curious about Venti and thought of chatting with him to try to extract some information.

    However, the shrewd Venti saw through the young Yelan’s intentions at a glance. He simply took a large gulp of wine and pretended to be asleep.

    Soon, Ye Yun prepared the meal, and everyone gathered around.

    Walther, Star, and March 7th finally returned a few minutes before dinner.

    Star and March 7th rushed to the small bar to exchange Star Crystals as soon as they returned.

    This time, the two girls made a killing. Last time in Belobog, Bronya even brought people to rob them.

    This time, they swept all the Star Crystals from the four locations of Star Raft Sea Central Hub, Chang Le Tian, Hui Xing Port, and Jinren Alley in Luofu, leaving basically no chests behind.

    Star put the large bags of Star Crystals on the bar counter and placed them one by one on the exchange scale.

    Star was responsible for exchanging, March 7th for organizing the Star Coins.

    With their cooperation, they quickly exchanged a bag of Star Crystals.

    The rest of the people watched from the sidelines, and the final amount made everyone gasp.

    Hiss!!!!!!! A full 300,000 Star Coins!

    This is incredible!

    Star and March 7th split the proceeds evenly, 150,000 each.

    Star happily put away her 150,000 Star Coins, and even her walk had a spring in her step.

    Now! Call me Rich Girl Star!

    Ye Yun looked at Star, who was still showing off.

    “Star, calm down, it’s time to eat.”

    Hearing this, Star stopped showing off and quickly went to her seat to wait for dinner.

    Hot pot tonight! Ye Yun directly brought five large pots and placed them on the long table in front of the small bar.

    The long table could only accommodate 20 people, so Ye Yun, Zhong Li, Walther, Diluc, and other men stood to eat, leaving the girls and the four little ones sitting.

    The four little ones were thrilled to be standing on the table. Children are happier with more people around them at mealtimes, and they eat more heartily.

    Bai Lu was especially happy, her little tail wagging incessantly, happily chatting with Klee, Hu Tao, and Diona.

    “Klee wants to eat lots and lots of meat later~”

    “Hu Tao wants too!”

    Diona wanted to eat grilled fish.

    “You guys eat meat, I’ll eat fish, I just saw Ye Yun sliced a lot of fish, hehe~”

    Bai Lu, with a look of maturity beyond her years, said:

    “You can’t only eat meat, you also need to eat some vegetables, so that you can have a balanced diet.”

    Hu Tao stared with wide eyes.

    “What’s nutrition?”

    Bai Lu thought for a moment and explained in an easy-to-understand way:

    “Let me put it this way, if you only eat meat, your body will have some problems.”

    Hu Tao understood immediately.

    “Hu Tao understands, Hu Tao will eat vegetables too!”

    Klee also raised her hand.

    “Klee too~”

    Diona said:

    “That’s true, I’ll eat some too later.”

    Raiden Shogun and Ye Yun were responsible for taking care of the four little ones.

    Ye Yun prepared a huge amount of dishes tonight, a total of 50 different kinds, enough for 30 adults.

    Ye Yun gave each person a small basket. The dishes were in the kitchen; they could go to the kitchen and choose whatever they wanted to put in their baskets.

    The seasonings were also there.

    Ye Yun invited everyone to get some dishes.

    Everyone stood up, took their baskets, and went to choose their dishes as if they were shopping at a market.

    Today’s 4th update is complete.
