Chapter 502: Finding Wendy
Gu Sanqiu left the Knights and began to think about where he should go to accurately find Wendy, the lazy guy.
Are we going to Angel's Gift for a free drink?
Forget it. This kind of thing is really not easy to conceal. If Diluk received relevant information, he might be able to infer the mortal identity of the God of Wind through the guest list.
After all, it was no secret that he was very familiar with "Wendy the Bard". Even the "Certificate of Adult Drinking" that was wrapped in turquoise by the Mo Yu Monster was obtained by the two of them together.
If they met alone, it could be said that they were a gathering of friends, but since they had just arrived in Mondstadt, especially organizing such a big event at such a critical time, and then going to find Wendy, the meaning was completely different.
Of course, the premise is that from the last time Gu Sanqiu left Mond to now, Wendy has not harassed Golden Retriever because of being too poor to make a living, and then accidentally exposed her identity as the ruler.
Gu Sanqiu came to the statue of the God of Wind. In addition to the nuns of the church singing with the children, this place was also one of the semi-fixed working places of the bards.
After all, there is a large flow of people, and as it is the iconic landscape of Mondstadt, it would be a shame for the poets' flexible minds if they didn't come here to make money.
Don't think that bards are a bunch of pedantic, old-fashioned people with only rigid minds. As a profession under freedom, people with a dull mind and a dull imagination cannot be bards in Mondstadt.
If we are not so rigorous, we can say that a bard who is a little famous in Mondstadt can go to Xumi to take the exam to become a scholar after years of study, but a scholar from Xumi can never become a bard.
Just like what Wendy did back then, he kept arranging himself in various ways, which can also be understood as a hype behavior to increase traffic and expand revenue.
When the sister of the West Wind Church asked about it, he refuted it by saying, "It's been so long, how do you know Barbatos didn't do that kind of thing?"
The point is that the scumbag actually succeeded in his refutation, and the Church of Favonius would not deprive the bard of his creative freedom because of such a trivial matter. As a result, Wendy also gained his own loyal fans, which barely guaranteed him some income.
Wendy has mastered the logic and process to create hype with novel viewpoints and excellent story logic, thereby increasing her income.
Sometimes Gu Sanqiu always suspected one thing. When Alice brought a book about idols from outside the world to Barbara, was it possible that Wendy had secretly read it? Otherwise, why would she have come up with so many tricks?
The Bards are a circle, and there is also a phenomenon of involution within it. Wendy was able to quickly break away from the involution and establish his own position. It has to be said that although this despicable guy does not do serious work, his brain is really flexible.
In this regard, we have to say that the old man is not very good. Although his face is indeed thicker than the fortress walls of Tianqiu Valley when it comes to asking people to pay him, he is not very good in other situations.
What Wendy did can be considered as her debut as an idol. Would you like to try this with an old man?
I guess the old man’s idea of “debut” is to tell stories , allowing him to create topics and stir up hype like Wendy did?
The person who makes this suggestion will immediately receive the key to the room in Guyun Pavilion.
If a person is shameless, he can become invincible.
If God is shameless, maybe he can have a little more Mora in his pocket?
"Ten Moras, just ten Moras will do..."
A weak voice sounded from behind Gu Sanqiu. Wendy, who was wearing a green hat crookedly, put her arms around Gu Sanqiu's shoulders from behind, and her whole body seemed to go limp as she leaned on him.
"Merciful sir, it will only cost ten Moras. Please give a poor bard a meal."
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but break free from Wendy's claws. "Ten Moras? This amount of money is not even enough for a fried egg at the Deer Hunter Restaurant. Or how did you manage to spend all your savings? Didn't you and Tewarin get a lot of tributes prepared for you in ancient times?"
"I'm not going to eat that damn expensive fried egg set meal. Wouldn't it be better if I could use this little money to buy bird eggs and cook my own food in the wild?"
"Twalin refused to go with me. He said that stealing his own tribute and exchanging it for money was too cheap. Since I chose this path, I have to find a way to make money myself."
Wendy sat on the ground. Gu Sanqiu estimated that if it weren't for the social death factor, this demon would have rolled on the ground in anger.
"so?"
“So, I have no money.”
Wendy looked at Gu Sanqiu pitifully: "It's all because Mond's wine is too tempting. I didn't intend to drink too much, but they tempted me first!"
"If this were in Liyue, the club guests captured by the Thousand Rocks Army would say the same thing."
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face: "You know Jinmao, to be valued by you so much, he must be of high status. He can lower himself to earn money by moving bricks, what about you?"
"What Tevarin said makes sense. Since you have chosen this path, you have to earn your own money, especially for alcohol."
Wendy grabbed Gu Sanqiu's right arm with both hands: "You are my eldest nephew, the elders are almost starving to death and you are still here talking about big principles, do you think this is really appropriate!"
"Don't worry. I have never seen a demon god die of starvation. If you die, it will be because of your alcohol addiction."
Gu Sanqiu said disdainfully: "Even if they are elders, the younger generation has the obligation to discipline them when they spend money recklessly, otherwise what will happen if they squander the family fortune?"
"Can you squander all the wealth your family has accumulated over thousands of years?!"
"You make it sound like my family has only had income and no expenditure for thousands of years. Sometimes we spend even more. But I can make a deal with you."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "I have a place here. How about you take me and Albedo there? I can give you some sponsorship money if you do that."
"Besides, if you have no money, then go work! What's the point of coming here to ask a junior for money? When I was not in Mondstadt, you didn't go to the golden retriever to borrow money to live on!"
Wendy said with a serious expression: "How could that be? Hello uncle, no matter how poor I am, I will never ask him for money."
Gu Sanqiu had dead eyes: "It's wrong to ask me to borrow money. You are so nice when I give you money, right? You specifically go after the rich to take advantage of you. You are worthy of being like that."
Wendy stuck out her tongue and said, "Actually, I went to Xiao Kongkong to borrow money too many times, and the little guy flying in the sky said he would never lend me money again. They also work hard to live a good life."
"Hey~"
…
Numb, Gu Sanqiu felt numb.
Sorry, this time the problem is his own.
Why did he think that Wendy would be "embarrassed" about something, or why did he believe that Mond's ruling had a "bottom line", a setting that was impossible to exist even if you just imagine it.
If you can make a good-tempered young couple say they will no longer lend you money, then you wouldn’t be the one asking them for money all day long, right?
You are committing robbery, a shameful act of banditry!
"So, since you are rich, nephew, I can only ask you for help."
Wendy clasped her hands together and said with a smile, "Ten million Mora, as long as I can get a silver note that can be exchanged for ten million Mora at the Liyue Bank, I will never borrow money from you again."
Gu Sanqiu roared: "Do you think I will believe you? You must have said the same thing when you asked Kong and the others to borrow money!"
Get down to business, Barbatos!
