Chapter 452: Gu Sanqiu, the Bad Friend Who Escaped the Bill
At the boss's strong request, Albedo was finally sent out respectfully by the waiter, but before that he also signed for the boss very seriously.
"How is it? Is it fun?"
Albedo looked at the guy who should have run away, but now was sitting on a bench by the roadside, chewing a mint and daydreaming.
"Did you arrange this person?"
"If you can teach me the art of clones, then it's possible."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and said, "Calm down. How can everything in the world be calculated? I can assure you that I chose the tavern randomly, and the owner inside is not an actor arranged by me."
"I just want to tell you that although you are a socially anxious guy who stays at home all year round and rarely goes out, everyone in Mondstadt is familiar with you."
"Well, how should I evaluate it? Maybe even though you are not in the martial arts world, your legend is everywhere in the martial arts world."
Albedo was stunned: "Don't think I don't know what Jianghu is. Your analogy is not very appropriate."
"It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not. I'm too lazy to ask you if you have any insights into what happened today. That's the reading comprehension that the poor candidates need to answer. We just went there to drink."
Gu Sanqiu stood up and said, "I'll teach you one more thing. Do you know why I ran away just now? Otherwise, you can also see how the boss praises you inside."
Albedo asked seriously: "Why?"
"Oh, because there is also this classic plot among bad friends: they will say they will treat you, and then ask you to pay in the end. They may even steal your wallet before that, and then come out to save you when your boss is about to drag you to wash dishes."
Albedo glanced at Gu Sanqiu deeply and said, "To put it simply, a so-called bad friend is someone who can't stand seeing his friend do well. Is that right?"
"How could that be? This is actually a proof of friendship."
Gu Sanqiu said seriously: "Ordinary friends don't do this, because they need other ways to maintain and deepen their friendship. Do you understand what I mean?"
Albedo stared at Gu Sanqiu: "But I still think you are talking nonsense, just to make up a high ."
"Tsk, so this is why being friends with people who think quickly is not fun."
Gu Sanqiu curled his lips. So it is easier to fool people like Brother Chongyun. After all, his mind is full of talismans and demon-slaying, and his mind can no longer accommodate other things.
He began to understand why Xingqiu always liked to take the other person with him when he went out.
Fooling Albedo?
It would be good if you don't let the other party take your plan seriously and end up being fooled and suffering a big loss.
Fortunately, I am smart.
For the first time, Albedo was glad that his mother did not create him as a pure fighter.
"However, I have an impression of what the boss said."
Albedo said, "That incident was actually a transfer document I came across by chance in the Alchemy Society. The original solution was for the Alchemy Society to allocate a sum of money and buy some new furniture and warm clothes for the elderly in Mondstadt."
"But when I saw it, I thought it was an opportunity to gain some reputation in Mondstadt, so I did it ."
Albedo looked at Gu Sanqiu: "It's basically the same for other things, which is why I insisted on paying just now. In my opinion, what I did was just a fair trade."
"Oh, a deal is a deal. Do you still need to come up with a plausible excuse for yourself?"
Gu Sanqiu shrugged. "For Mond's bright future, or for all Mond people to live a good life?"
"See the essence through the phenomenon, brother. You think that this is a transaction, but for their lives, it is essentially the help given to them by Master Albedo of the Alchemy Society."
"These days, favors have actually changed their meaning and have been seen as bargaining chips. So now many people get annoyed when they hear someone say they owe them a favor. They either make it clear on the spot or find a way to pay it back as soon as possible."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "You think the deal is beneficial to you, but do you think that the Alchemy Society's conventional form of warmth and support is the first time? It's definitely not."
"For those elderly people, the important thing is the convenient props that can adjust the temperature and humidity, and the financial subsidy that helps them charge their batteries for free, but what's more important is the friendship you put into making the props."
Gu Sanqiu said: "Just like when I killed the evil spirit in Liyue, my original intention during the Lantern Festival was to help Brother Xiao and kill those annoying things. The side effect was that the people of Liyue were safer when they went out."
"There are quite a few people who gave me food and things to use, but you can tell from what I said that my original intention was never to help them, at least not now."
How to solve some major issues in the lives of Liyue people?
Are you kidding? Qixing is still working hard on this path. Why should he, a burner of incense, do anything else? He just needs to follow his own plan.
"Then don't you feel a little ashamed?"
"It's a good thing to feel ashamed. It proves that you really treat them as people related to you. To be more direct, it means that you treat yourself as a human being."
Gu Sanqiu patted Albedo on the shoulder and said, "Then make a few more trades. Use your shame to exchange for their gratitude, and continue to leave Albedo's legend in Mondstadt."
"Most people in Mondstadt are very simple and honest. If you feel that dealing with these people is not suitable for the development of your interpersonal relationships, you can come to Liyue and live for a while some other day."
Gu Sanqiu looked mysterious: "By then, you will be a famous alchemist in Teyvat, the captain of the investigation team of the Knights of Favonius, and you can add any other identities you want."
"And most importantly, among your series of titles, you will also have a good friend of the incense burner. I guarantee that there will be many people who come to you for various purposes."
Albedo thought seriously, then looked at Gu Sanqiu: "Can I understand that you are bragging about yourself?"
"That's pretty much it, anyway."
Gu Sanqiu gently placed the mint on the grass: "Don't live such a tiring life. You will go crazy if you think about everything clearly. The more you worry about whether you are human or not, the more you will feel that you are not living like a human."
"What a human being is can only be determined by your own judgment. Whether it is from a physiological or metaphysical perspective, you will get different answers."
"Since you've asked this question, it proves that you actually want to become a real human being. In that case, what's the harm in being a little confused for once?"
Gu Sanqiu said solemnly: "You are a human being, you are Albedo, this will never change, and it is something that everyone remembers in their hearts. Origin is never the core conclusion that determines a person."
"Just like those idiots in the Abyss Cult who called you a flaw. Next time you see them, just beat them to death and carve a sentence on their graves."
"Remember, my name is Albedo."
