I'm a male god in Liyue

"Ah."

Perhaps it was the comfort of his voice, or the effect of the calming incense, or the massage techniques that made her feel better.

Noelle's body slowly went limp.

How's business at the pharmacy these past few days?

"very good."

"It's mainly adventurers who buy it, right?"

"Some merchants also buy them, probably intending to resell them elsewhere."

"Oh?"

“A merchant from Sumeru came to see me this afternoon. She also had a lightning-type God's Eye and said she wanted to cooperate with our store and could consume a large batch of potions.”

"The Sumeru Merchant, the Thunder God's Eye... the person you're talking about, her name wouldn't happen to be Dolly, would it?"

"Yes! That's her! Does Mr. Xia know her?"

"I guess we know each other. Last year when I opened a shop in Liyue, she came to me and said she wanted to buy the juice recipe, but I didn't agree. Later, I ran into her on the street a few times and bought quite a few things from her stall."

"So, should I agree to the cooperation she proposed? The main problem is that she wants too many potions. If we sell them all to her, we won't be able to supply the regular customers anymore. Most of the potions are already being supplied to Miss Ningguang..."

"You can decide this yourself, after all, you are the store manager."

"it is good."

Noelle has grown rapidly since becoming the store manager.

Xia Zhi also saw a trace of Qin in her.

"Miss Yura, have you been working part-time at the pharmacy these past few days?"

"Yes."

"Isn't she a noblewoman? Why is she doing this kind of thing?"

"I'm not too sure either, but it seems like Yura-senpai is short of money. She used to do part-time jobs often, but many shops didn't want her because of her awkward situation..."

"I'm short of money..."

Xia Zhi lowered his head and pondered.

He seemed to understand somewhat.

The Lawrence family has declined. A group of people want to maintain the dignity of the aristocracy, but they are unwilling to lower themselves to make money. Now they are probably about to run out of their savings.

From this perspective, Miss Yura has had a tough time too.

As a friend, Xia Zhi was able to help her, but given her pride, she probably wouldn't easily accept this help.

But after all, Miss Yura had saved Yanfei's life.

Yanfei is someone Mona identified through divination as one of her own.

Therefore, Xia Zhi still wants to help Yan Fei repay the kindness that Yura has shown.

Since giving money directly won't work, we need to think of a more suitable solution.

Xia Zhi massaged Noelle while pondering with his head down.

Yura's status as an old noblewoman is too awkward. Even if he were to open a shop with her, many locals would probably not be willing to buy from her.

Yura is a skilled swordswoman, known as the "Wave Knight," but she's not good at making money from swords.

Thinking about it carefully, Yura's greatest strength should be in the field of art.

This is the result of the strict aristocratic education she received from a young age.

You could tell from the "ritual dance" she performed during the competition.

Art...highbrow...making money...

Thinking about this, an idea involuntarily surfaced in Xia Zhi's mind.

It seems I could talk to Ms. Ningguang.

Isn't she trying to open up the high-end cosmetics market in Mondstadt?

Yura might be a good entry point.

Qin finally got to experience the essential oil package this time.

It feels like I've really reached a higher level.

Moreover, this bed is softer than my office desk.

With the added scent of incense, it feels as comfortable as if you're floating on a cloud.

Qin suddenly sighed softly.

Xia Zhi asked curiously, "Why is Commander Qin sighing?"

"I kind of regret it."

"regret?"

"I shouldn't have come to Mr. Xia for a massage today."

"Oh?"

"After all, we won't be able to enjoy it anymore."

Xia Zhi laughed: "Commander Qin's praise is quite special, isn't it?"

"It's not just praise, it's what I really think."

"Oh, by the way, I made a lot of instant noodles tonight, they're all in the kitchen, remember to get them later."

"Really?"

"Of course, I promised you this morning."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"You're welcome. I might need to ask the ensemble leader for help again in a few days."

"Alright, Mr. Xia, please feel free to ask if you need anything."

This was also Barbara's first time experiencing something like this.

She mainly came with her older sister.

This is already considered a hopeless case of a sister-obsessed person.

Although she never dared to show it in front of her sister.

Xia Zhi gently comforted her and talked to her about Miss Yun Jin's new work.

Yun Jin is Barbara's idol.

When the topic of her idol came up, Barbara immediately lost her nervousness and talked on and on with great interest.

She said she added Ms. Yun Jin as a friend and sends her messages every day. Ms. Yun Jin is very polite and always replies to her messages. Sometimes she even records a few lines of lyrics for her to listen to. It's wonderful.

I heard that Miss Yun Jin is going to release a tape recorder. I'll definitely buy a few to support her when it's released.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile.

Barbara seems like a little girl who's a fan of celebrities.

Quite cute.

night.

The entrance to the Adventurers' Guild.

A dirty, dark-skinned boy walked over.

He is Bennett.

He had heard that Fischl had gone to Dadaupa Valley to do bounty missions, and he was extremely worried that something might happen to him, the only member of his adventure team, so he rushed out as well.

But he was really unlucky.

Despite the Knights of Favonius's guerrilla squads having just cleared out a circle of monsters, he still encountered several groups of slimes in the woods not far from the city.

Moreover, it's not an ordinary slime; it's a mutated lightning-type slime.

He was thus plunged into a bitter struggle.

His body was charred black from the electric shock, and even his hair stood on end.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Bennett had just entered the Adventurers' Guild when he heard someone calling his name.

"Bennett! You're back!"

"Congratulations! Your adventurer group has now been upgraded to a legendary adventurer group!"
