Chapter 220 The source of huge wealth is unknown
Before meeting the Rock God, Pantalone had thought in his mind about asking her for an Eye of God.
But on the way up the mountain, he abandoned this idea. He wanted to prove his ability to the God of Rock. He wanted to let Zhidong replace Mora as the heart of finance, and let this heart stop according to his will when necessary.
However, this idea was in sharp conflict with Zhong Li, which led to the two parting ways unhappily.
"..."
Back in Liyue Harbor, Pantalone took a deep breath.
He did not crave for mercy from the Rock God. Although he felt a little upset, it did not hinder his goal.
Afterwards, Pantalone packed his bags and allocated a sum of Mora to Dardalia.
"Take good care of Mr. Zhongli."
"I often see him sitting alone, which makes me feel lonely and depressed. He has a lot of knowledge but no one to understand him. It's really pitiful."
Handing the Mora to Tartaglia, Pantalone patted his shoulder and gave him instructions.
Pantalone never cared so much about others, but for some reason Zhongli made him care so much.
"Mr. Zhongli is also my friend, so of course I will take care of him. As for the money, I will accept it."
Tartaglia responded as a matter of course.
"Ah."
After handing Mora over to Tartaglia, Pantalone asked his men to prepare the ship, and left Liyue Harbor and headed towards Mondstadt.
He decided to anchor in Jingfu Port first and then return to Dong.
"Um……?"
Just when the ship was halfway through its journey, Pantalone suddenly thought of something.
"I actually forgot about the thief who stole the goods..."
"Whatever, it's just the fur of a different kind of monster. I heard that a giant dragon has appeared in Mondstadt recently. I wonder if anyone has hunted it down. If so, I can buy some dragon skins."
"Well, it's hard to say. After all, that Falgar is not in Mondstadt..."
After muttering to himself for a while, Pantalone shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
……
To winter, Northland Bank headquarters.
After Liu Bai's date with Nashida, he rushed back to Winter Solstice and received the 100 billion Mora promised by Pantalone.
Walking out of the Northland Bank, Liu Bai covered his pocket and looked around cautiously, then hid behind Nashida.
"Girl, let's go home quickly. I'm carrying a large amount of money on me now. Be careful not to be robbed."
Hiding behind Nashida, Liu Bai spoke nervously.
However, considering the height difference between the two, he now looked more like a criminal who had taken a minor hostage during a standoff with the security team.
"You've already put Mora in the little white house. Who else but me can snatch your Mora away?"
Nashida reminded silently.
After hearing Nashida's reminder, Liu Bai suddenly realized what was going on. He then carefully moved away from Nashida, not even daring to turn his back on her. He just kept facing her and retreated vigilantly.
"?"
Nashida folded her arms and looked at Liu Bai.
Looking at Nashida's appearance, Liu Bai felt a dull pain in his forehead, as if it had been hit by something.
Then Liu Bai obediently returned to Nashida's side.
"Girl, I was wrong. Let's go home quickly."
"Well, let's go."
Seeing that Liu Bai had calmed down, Nashida happily took his arm.
The two returned to the rental house, and Liu Bai finally felt relieved.
After entering Xiaobai's house and checking the Mora that filled the entire room, Liu Bai suddenly felt a little confused.
One hundred billion Moras, even if calculated based on the Moras with the largest face value, is a full one million Moras.
These Moras were piled up in a reasonable manner, one next to another, forming a mountain that filled an entire room. As soon as the door was opened, one could see the golden light.
"Girl, with all this Mora, wouldn't it be a bit... a bit...what if he can't spend it? How about we give him less?"
Liu Bai asked Nashida.
Although he originally said to split it in half, I felt a little distressed when I saw so much money.
"You have to think carefully. He is the God of Contracts. If you break the contract, he will press you under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years~"
Nashida reminded Liu Bai with some amusement.
As for the Five Finger Mountain, Liu Bai mentioned it occasionally when he told her stories.
"..."
Nashida's words reminded Liu Bai of his ally who had been suppressed for a thousand years, and the demon god who had been suppressed for thousands of years under Guyun Pavilion.
"…But if I give him half, what if Brother Zhongli doesn't have enough to spend? How about giving him 20% more?"
Swallowing hard, Liu Bai couldn't help but make a suggestion to Nashida.
"That won't work. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, it's still considered a violation of the contract."
Nashida explained, shaking her head.
Liu Bai had no choice but to nod and divide half of Mora, intending to give it to Zhongli.
……
"Come on, put it here, this is Morak... um, I said it's the Morak vault, it's the right place to put it."
In the Hall of Rebirth, Ruoli's eyes lit up when she learned the purpose of Liu Bai's visit. She immediately pulled him into the house by the hand, pointing to the room where she slept and spoke to him.
Although Ruoli was of no help to the business of the Wangsheng Hall other than sending people to the afterlife, the broad-minded Hall Master Hu still prepared a place for her to live in the hall.
Liu Bai did not suspect anything and poured all the 50 billion Mora in Xiaobai's house into Ruoli's room, instantly making the whole room magnificent.
"Meahahaha, I'm going to sleep on Mora from now on!"
Ruoli was so excited that her tail was wagging. Then, with eyes shining, she threw herself into the pile of Moras. However, because she pushed too hard, she was buried by the collapsed Moras.
Then she poked her little head out from the pile of Mora, revealing a happy and satisfied expression, and chewed a few Mora pieces in her mouth and swallowed them into her stomach.
Although Mora is made of metal, it is rich in elemental power and is a good food for elemental life. This is why it is possible to pick up Mora after defeating elemental monsters in the wild.
Looking at Ruoli's happy expression, Liu Bai felt a little jealous.
"Girl, I also want to sleep on Mora in the future..."
Liu Bai pulled Nashida's hand and pointed at Ruoli, whose head was the only one sticking out from the pile of Mora.
"Okay, okay, let's not learn from her. Good children shouldn't learn this. Sleeping on Mora will make you feel uncomfortable. Let's sleep on the bed~"
Nashida patted Liu Bai's hand to comfort him, and made him give up the idea of sleeping on Mora.
"Brother Zhongli, I brought Mora to you. See you next time."
After putting Mora in Ruoli's room, Liu Bai greeted Zhongli who had just returned.
"Well, come visit often when you have time."
Zhongli nodded in response, then glanced towards Ruoli's room.
"..."
"Ok?"
Ruoli was squinting her eyes happily when she suddenly felt someone was looking at her. She opened her eyes in confusion and met Zhongli's eyes.
"Give me half, or I will report you to the Liyue Seven Stars for your huge fortune."
Ruoli immediately protected Mora beside her with both hands and spoke to Zhongli vigilantly.
"…The crime of huge amounts of property of unknown origin only targets public officials, and Zhong is not a public official."
Zhongli was silent for a moment, then answered with a smile on his face.
