Chapter 550: Wendy's Commission
Gu Sanqiu's eyes lit up, he felt that he had grasped the key part of the whole thing!
Wait, there seems to be a loophole here.
The role he played was "a grief-stricken incense burner who was assassinated by the emperor." He didn't believe that the old man's dragon had no ability to sense the outside world.
Not only will they be exposed if they do this, but anyone who dares to move the old man's "body" to take photos will simply be complaining that the grass on their grave is not growing lushly enough.
But it seems possible to reasonably circumvent this?
Gu Sanqiu seemed to be thinking about something. When the time comes, he will be able to use excuses like "telepathy or the sixth sense of the soul" to say that I did not sense your death, and I guessed that you might have some big plans, so I did not announce it to the outside world.
As for fiddling with your dragon body for photos?
Oh, don’t be so stingy, old man. Don’t you know what kind of character my family is?
Gu Sanqiu carefully planned his expression and every movement when he said this.
Wouldn’t it be better if we added Wendy’s signature “Hey hey” at the end?
Forget it. I always feel it would be better not to say anything. Wendy doesn’t have a very good image in the old man’s mind.
Generally speaking, the two are old friends with their own families, but our man surnamed Wen is not a good person because he is not a decent person. Mr. Zhong would not feel comfortable letting his old friend have much contact with the young people in his family.
What to do if you lead children astray!
If we extrapolate from this perspective, if I imitate Wendy and say "Hey hey", I will most likely get beaten by the old man.
Well, my life is more important. I still have so many things to do, so many deaths to commit. How can I be easily taken down by the old man here!
Gu Sanqiu made up his mind to have a "lofty ambition" and, having finally figured everything out, he happily flew back to Liyue Harbor, ready to have a good sleep when his thoughts were clear.
…
The Deer Hunter Restaurant, Mond.
"Little Paimon, little Kongkong~"
Paimon widened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and subconsciously stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth at the speed of light, then looked towards the source of the voice with a serious and alert expression.
Kong beside him put down his knife and fork, held his forehead with his right hand and couldn't help shaking his head. It was obvious that he didn't want to see the person who made the sound.
"Are you short of money again?"
Wendy appeared at the table with a smile on her face. "Oh, it turns out that Xiao Kongkong really understands me. I have spent all the money my nephew gave me. Money is really tight these days."
"Hey! Why are you here again !?"
Paimon flew to Sora's side in a panic, and covered the wallet tied around Sora's waist with his two little hands.
"Let me make this clear first. I can treat you to some fisherman's toast, but I don't have any money to lend you!"
Wendy showed a disappointed look: "Huh? So in your eyes, I am just someone who comes to you for no other business besides borrowing money?"
“Isn’t it!”
Paimon bared his teeth and said, "Ask yourself, you street singer. When have you ever come to us and not ask for money after a few words?"
Sora nodded in agreement: "Yes, work hard to make money, don't think about getting something for nothing."
"Really? It's not like I won't pay you back."
"You've borrowed from us so many times, have you ever really returned it?"
Wendy covered her ears and stuck out her tongue: "Hey~"
"Hey what does that mean?"
Wendy smiled and sat down. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is what I came to you this time to introduce you to a big order. How about it?"
"A big order? A commission from the Adventurer's Guild?"
When it comes to topics related to money, Paimon can be said to be full of energy, not to mention that what he mentioned is the opportunity for himself and his friends to make a lot of money, which is definitely more than just being full of energy.
"But how could a street singer like you possibly get such a big order from the Adventurer's Association? Could it be that you..."
Paimon covered his mouth with a look of shock: "You told them?!"
"How is that possible!"
Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you only think of the commission from the Adventurer's Association when you mention big orders? Can't it be my personal commission?"
Sora stabbed him accurately: "It seems that you don't have the money to place a large commission."
What level is a large commission?
It's very simple. The incident on the snow mountain last time was a large-scale commission, so it was normal for the couple not to believe that the commission came from Wendy.
Things of that level can no longer be considered commissions in the strict sense, but rather war mercenaries.
How can you, a bard who doesn't even have a single Mora, afford this kind of money?
"Don't say that. Although I was the one who commissioned it, I didn't say I was the one who paid for it."
Wendy laughed frivolously: "Want to go to Liyue for a visit ? I have a letter here that I need you to take to my old friend."
Your old friend?
Paimon showed a surprised look: "The only one you can call an old friend should be the one from the Sanqiu family, the Rock King Morax?"
"That's right, it's that old man. Please help me deliver a letter. As for the reward, you two will definitely get it. My old friend is Morax, the god of wealth and contracts. He will definitely give you a large sum of money."
Wendy, who knew very well what kind of person Old Stone was, was obviously talking nonsense. It was completely impossible for Morax to bring Mora with him!
But don’t panic. Even if your old friend can’t give you the reward, we still have a rich man like your eldest nephew in Liyue. Anyway, I, Barbatos, never lie!
"So that's how it is."
Paimeng looked at Kong and said, "How about we go to Liyue? If there is a chance, we can give up the reward for this commission and let the god talk to Sanqiu to help you post some missing person notices in Liyue?"
Whenever considering the important matters of his partners, Paimon has always been very rational and will never be blinded by the treasure and the light of Mora.
Kong was tempted, and he gradually realized that there was no end to his aimless search in Mondstadt. In this case, perhaps it would be better to actively seek some changes?
"Send the letter, where to send it?"
Paimeng also reacted: "Yes, since you want us to deliver the letter, you should at least let us know where to send it. Can you send it directly to Sanqiu's house?"
"No, no, no, how could I, who is so smart, be so careless?"
Wendy shook his finger solemnly: "After a while, Liyue's unique ceremony of inviting the immortals will begin. All you need to do is take my letter and stand at the place where the ceremony is held."
"When my old friend shows up, he will be able to tell that you have my scent on you, and he will be able to deliver the letter and get the money in one go."
Paimon hesitated for a moment: "Well, if we don't want money, can we ask him to post some missing person notices for us?"
Wendy smiled and said, "Of course you can. However, you will have to discuss the details of the remuneration with him. Don't worry, my old friend is very easy to talk to."
Sora made up his mind: "I'll take this commission."
Paimon smiled and clapped his hands: "Great, I can go to Liyue to visit Sanqiu. This time I must ask him to treat me to a feast of Liyue's specialties!"
Sora said helplessly: "Paimon, we are the ones who are being taken care of, so we should treat you."
Wendy, who was standing by, smiled inexplicably. Without the couple noticing, she slowly stepped back and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"You're speaking a lot more coherently now, Xiao Kongkong. It looks like your strength has recovered quite well."
"My old friend, I found an excuse to bring the person over for you. The rest is up to you~"
“I wish you success.”
