Chapter 315 Mission
"…Although what you said makes sense, 10 million Mora may not be enough to sustain Paimon for long, so I still have to go to work."
Ying was silent for a moment before answering.
"Traveler, Paimon didn't eat that much."
Paimon crossed his arms over his chest and said in dissatisfaction.
After hearing Ying's answer, Liu Bai turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Nashida beside him.
"I don't eat that much. I'm easy to feed."
Seeing Liu Bai's eyes, Nashida responded with her hands on her hips and a chuckle.
"That won't do. My girl has to eat the best and most expensive food."
"It's decided. I'll go to work at the Adventurer's Association today."
Liu Bai shook his head and then spoke seriously.
"Okay, then let's go see what commissions we have today. With Liu Shazi here, we can take on more difficult commissions and earn more Mora~"
Paimon said happily.
"It's as if I can't accept difficult commissions when I'm here..."
Ying looked at Paimon with dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, that's not what I meant. Travelers are also amazing."
Paimon put his hands behind his back and explained sheepishly.
Afterwards, the group went to the Adventurer's Association together.
"Welcome to the Adventure..."
"Catherine, what's your mission today?"
Catherine was interrupted by Paimon before she could finish her words.
"Okay, this is today's commission. If you want to accept other commissions, please check the notice board on the wall."
Catherine nodded and took out the list of today's commissions.
The Adventurer's Guild lists many daily commissions every day, and adventurers can accept up to four of them on their own. After accepting, Catherine will cross out the tasks to prevent others from accepting them.
However, if the commission is not completed on time, the adventurer will be penalized in experience and may even have his level reduced.
Liu Bai moved closer and found that the daily commissions were quite simple. Most of them were odd jobs, and the other half were to defeat monsters. The rewards for defeating monsters that were farther away from Mondstadt and stronger were greater.
"Okay, okay. How about this? Go to the Wind Dragon Ruins to collect crystal ore."
At this time, Paimon searched the bulletin board for a while and found a pretty good commission.
Ever since someone discovered that the wind wall of the Wind Dragon Ruins had disappeared these days, this commission has been pending.
Moreover, there is no limit on the number of commissions, and different adventurers can accept them at the same time. As long as you bring back enough crystal ore, you can submit the task.
This means that Ying and Liu Bai can take the call at the same time, and then go to the Fenglong Ruins to mine together.
The price is also quite reasonable, including mission reward + crystal mine acquisition fee.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go mining today."
Liu Bai accepted the task with satisfaction.
Ying also took on this task, but also took on a commission to collect slime.
She remembered that there were a lot of slimes in the Wind Dragon Ruins, so she could complete the task along the way.
Who made her raise Paimon? In order to afford food, she had to find ways to make more money.
After accepting the mission, the few of them passed through the teleportation anchor point in Mondstadt and soon arrived at the Wind Dragon Ruins again.
Since the wind wall was removed, the environment inside the Wind Dragon Ruins became brighter and not as dark as before.
Liu Bai and Ying searched in the Fenglong ruins for a while and soon found a lot of crystal mines around the edge of the stone wall.
Since there is rock elemental force in Teyvat, not all ores are buried underground. Due to the gathering of rock elemental force, protruding ores will naturally appear out of thin air on the surface. The crystal mine here is a case in point.
There are also many iron ores and marcasite of various sizes around the crystal mine.
For Mond, where there are not many underground minerals, the prices of these ores are not low, but it takes a lot of time to mine.
"Just dig them all out, right? That's easy."
Liu Bai nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and took out the Winter Ice Guard.
"Wait a minute, Liu Shazi, we can't destroy the ore, we just need to dig it out."
When Paimeng saw Liu Bai's actions, he couldn't help but remind him, fearing that he would split the ore in half.
"Don't worry, I cut it very accurately."
Liu Bai patted his chest and made the promise.
Afterwards, Liu Bai's expression became a little more serious. He activated the selfless sword energy and summoned five flying swords.
"Whoa, wait a minute, let me get out of the way..."
Paimeng, who was standing next to Liu Bai, quickly hid back beside Ying.
Liu Bai was seen waving the Winter Ice Guard in his hand and slashing out several sword energies. At the same time, the five flying swords also continuously slashed out sword energies. The sword energies formed a net in the air and fell directly on the ground where the crystal mine was.
However, the sword energy avoided all the ores and only cut the ground into countless pieces. Then the sword energy exploded underground, separating the cut ground from the earth.
In this way, there is no need to dig out the crystal blocks, you can just take the soil on the ground away. The difference is like cutting down a tree and transplanting a tree.
"Although the traveler didn't contribute to the digging, at least we helped to look for it. Hehe, Liu Shazi, these ores should be shared by us, right?"
Seeing that Liu Bai had easily cut all the ore, Paimeng came up and rubbed his hands and asked Liu Bai.
"No problem, we are a team anyway."
Liu Bai nodded and agreed.
However, Ying and Paimeng definitely could not take away so many ores, so Liu Bai directly put them all into the little white house.
"Remember to put it in an open space outside the house. It will get dirty if you put it inside the house."
Before Liu Bai put away the ore, Nashida did not forget to remind him.
"……I try my best."
Liu Bai's expression was dull for a moment, then he nodded.
"..."
Seeing his expression, Nashida knew that it was bad.
But what can I do? I can just clean it when I get home at night.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the pink-haired fox from entering the little white house, Nashida would hypnotize her before going to bed every day. As compensation, Nashida arranged many beautiful dreams for her to let her experience the feeling of being a general.
"Let me calculate. It took us about two hours to find the crystal mine in the Wind Dragon Ruins. At this rate, we can complete twelve commissions a day, and each commission costs 100,000 Mora..."
"Traveler, traveler! As long as you work hard for ten days, we will have 10 million!"
On the way to find the slime, Paimon said excitedly to Ying.
"..."
Hearing Paimon’s excited words, Ying wanted to cook her.
If Liu Bai hadn't been mining, she would have had to dig out all the minerals by herself. Even without considering the possibility that she might not be able to lift a bowl with her hands the next day, it would probably take her a whole day, right?
On the other side, Liu Bai, who had completed a task, felt tired enough for today and decided to take a rest.
After getting the pink-haired fox back from Ying and holding it in their arms, Liu Bai and Nashida did not return to Mondstadt first. Instead, they followed Ying and strolled around the Wind Dragon ruins along the way.
"Little fox, come and read with me."
Liu Bai grabbed the pink fox's legs and picked her up, then taught her to speak with a serious look on his face.
"The great Chu rises, Chen Sheng is king!"
"If you think there are too many words, you can simplify it to..."
"Your Majesty~"
