Chapter 98 The Birth of the Summoning King

Chapter 98 The Birth of the Summoning King

...this.

Nilu looked up at the menu hanging on the milk tea stall. The series of unfamiliar names and noisy shouts made her feel dizzy.

It was too much for her to express her demands in public. She wanted to dance more. At this time, only the dance she loved most could allow her to concentrate and get rid of the interference from outsiders.

She felt that her fingers had unconsciously been shaped like flowers, and her arms were slightly raised, almost habitually making the preparatory movements for appearing on stage.

"Nilu, the character-themed milk teas of Water Princess and Fire Princess are both delicious. They contain water slime gel, which has higher water content than other slimes and no special taste, so they are the two most popular milk teas!" Kurosh quickly walked to Nilu and suggested.

"Then... I want Water Princess milk tea." Nilu gave her answer quickly as if she had found a savior. She raised her right hand and brushed it past her ear seemingly naturally, stroking a tuft of red hair unconsciously.

"Three cups of Water Princess character milk tea, large cups, standard milk flavor, no extra toppings." The silver-haired boy said to the milk tea stall owner in a calm tone.

"Three cups?!" Nilu opened her eyes slightly wide in surprise, "No, no, no, sir, three cups are too many. I can't drink that much."

"Slime gel is added to the slime milk tea. Even without any measures, it can be preserved in the rainforest area for nearly two weeks. Hmm? What you are hanging on your body... is it the Eye of God?" The boy's voice rose slightly, as if his mood suddenly improved.

"If you have the Eye of God, then there is no limit on the amount of milk tea you can buy here. If you want to buy some to bring back to your family or friends, you can do that too - so do you want some more?"

He did not hesitate to point out the current problems in milk tea management in front of the stall owners. In fact, the milk tea stalls had no way of counting how many cups of milk tea a person drank in a week and could only roughly stipulate that a person could only buy three cups at a time.

In other words, if someone wants to buy more, they can just go to the next milk tea stall. If someone wants to buy more than ten cups of milk tea at a time to share with colleagues, it is not impossible, but it is very troublesome.

Therefore, many people expressed dissatisfaction, saying that it was originally entirely based on self-discipline, so why can't it be completely relaxed? What is the meaning of this purchase restriction?

The milk tea shop only gave one positive response to this. The response was long and the apology was sincere, but the entire article only conveyed one message besides meaningless nonsense:

The purchase restrictions will not be lifted. If anyone gets elemental poisoning from drinking too much milk tea, this is the disclaimer.

Sino understands, but thinks it is unnecessary. The disciplinary officer and the thirty-man group will handle these disputes. The existence of this purchase restriction order itself is a question of the law enforcement capabilities of the two.

"No sir, I appreciate it, uh...but it seems my friends can't drink milk tea this week." said Nilu.

"Okay." The boy, who was also known as Senor (the card player), said with some regret, then turned to look at Kurosh, "What about you, what do you need?"

"Water Princess character milk tea, Fire Princess character milk tea, Grass Princess character milk tea, large cup, standard milk flavor, Grass Princess milk tea with less slime." Kurosh said quickly.

After saying that, he seemed to recall something and quickly added, "Thank you."

"Ok."

Sino nodded, without repeating his requests to the stall owner, nor paying the bill immediately. The stall owner was used to this and started making milk tea in advance when the few people verbally decided what they wanted to drink.

The stall owner took out the first cup of milk tea he had just made and handed it to Nilu. Seno also took out six card packs from a box covered with slimes in front of the stall.

Nilu was holding a cup of milk tea. She saw the silver-haired boy in front of her pick up the letter opener on the table and use it to cut open the envelope containing the cards.

There are no plastic bags on the continent of Teyvat. These cards are placed in envelope-like paper bags and sealed. Pictures of the Slime Princess and Prince are printed on both sides of the paper bags. Only one character is printed on each paper bag. Customers can choose the card pack they want according to their preferences or lucky items.

Before the stall owner brought out the second cup of milk tea, Seno had already skillfully opened six card packs. No miracle happened, just six ordinary cards.

The onlookers had no way of understanding what he had opened from his expression, actions, or language, especially those in the back row.

Compared to those card drawers who scream every time they open a bag and hold up the drawn cards to show off, the performance of Sino's card drawing process is too weak.

But such performances don't happen every day. They were so eager to see people draw cards that the people in the front row stretched their necks to see the cards that Seno drew, and shouted the results out loud for everyone to know.

Seno acquiesced to this behavior. He only frowned when he opened the last bag of card packs, showing a slightly lost look. Then he reached out to gather the paper bags on the table and threw them into the storage box at his feet.

At this time, no one took the initiative to stand up and say that they wanted milk tea, and the people watching the fun began to make a fuss again, hoping to call out the next person to provide the boy with the number of card draws.

A minute passed and the stall owner made two more cups of milk tea, but no one in the crowd stood up. The enthusiasm of the crowd gradually faded, and a few people left together. Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered in the crowd, people left one after another, but the remaining people shouted even harder.

Sino waited for another half a minute, then suddenly asked, "Can I have another two hundred cups?"

The stall owner was handing the last cup of milk tea to Kurosh. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then pointed to the hanging sign. The large red font was very eye-catching: Non-God's Eye holders are limited to purchasing three cups per week.

Seno raised his right hand and clenched his fist. Purple lightning flashed across his arm. "I have the Eye of God, so I should be able to purchase without restrictions."

On his first day as a disciplinarian, he received a divine eye with thunder attribute. This divine eye helped him to better punish crimes. He became the leader of the disciplinarians in just four months, thanks in large part to the divine eye which greatly improved his work efficiency.

Knowing that the boy was not looking for trouble, the stall owner said, "This quantity is too large. You can't finish it by yourself."

This is exactly why he has to spend more time to draw cards in this way even though he has the Eye of God. Senor nodded slightly to show his agreement:

"I'm the discipline officer. I agree that wasting food is a shameful act. I live in Xumi City and come to Omos Port only to perform official duties. I will load the milk tea onto the ship and take it away. There are not so many milk tea shops in Xumi City. I think I will find people who want to drink them.

And I have many colleagues working at Kawanishi who haven’t had this drink yet and they would love to try it.”

As for why he bought a large quantity of milk tea in Port Omos...

because...

Strong premonition!

He didn't have this feeling when he was drawing cards in Xumi City, but now, he felt that his right hand was about to move, which was a sign that he was about to draw the golden legend!

When the stall owner heard about Seno's profession and his measures, he stopped hesitating and turned around to make milk tea. Two hundred cups, it was a big project.

Sino counted out a hundred packs of cards from the card box and placed them on his left hand side. He held the letter opener in one hand and the card pack in the other, and repeated the action of opening the pack skillfully.

The crowd of onlookers was completely excited. They unconsciously narrowed the circle. Some of those standing at the back simply let their children or partners sit on their shoulders to watch the whole process for them.

"First pack, Puka!"

"Second pack, Puka!"

...

"Sixty-five, it's out!!"

"What happened?!"

Some people cheered, some were envious, some were jealous, but everyone wanted to know the answer to one question:

"What happened?"

"Fire Princess! Fire Princess' special character card! It's actually Fontaine's wedding dress!"

"What, Kaia wedding dress?!"

"Kaeya's special character card is actually a wedding dress? I have to take it now!"

Kurosh's eyes widened, and all the advice such as "the price will definitely drop in the future" and "those who collect cards now are idiots" were thrown behind his head. He also wanted to draw cards next week, and he had a feeling that he would definitely draw a special card!

...

"Will you sell it for one million Mora?" Someone in the back row was trying hard to squeeze forward, shouting loudly while holding a bag of Mora in one hand.

"My hunch turned out to be correct." Saino took out the card album he had placed on the table with satisfaction - it was also a deluxe limited edition card album that could only be purchased by VIP customers of the milk tea shop. He opened it, turned over three pages, and placed this special card in the position corresponding to the Fire Princess.

He turned to the first few pages and admired the special cards he had collected - most of them were equipment cards, action cards, mount cards, etc. There was only one character card, the Fire Prince. Special character cards were obviously more difficult to draw than other cards. Then he closed the card album with a smile and continued to open the card packs.

His self-entertainment dropped a bomb among the crowd, and those who knew the value of these cards had their heads buzzing.

"Did you see that just now?" Some people simply didn't believe their eyes.

"He has so many... shiny things..."

"It's so scary."

"How much did he smoke?!"

"I'm going to rob him! I must rob him!"

...

The noise had nothing to do with Seno. There seemed to be a barrier around him that blocked out all the sounds. He continued to open the rest of the card packs as usual and took out a special mount card.

Then he picked up the book again and put the card in it.

"Two special cards? What good luck! It makes my blood boil. If I had drawn these two cards, I would stand on a stool and declare my victory right now." The stall owner joked as he poured milk into the cup.

"Well, it's time to declare victory." Seno felt that this was necessary and would allow his good luck to continue.

The stall owner had never expected that the seemingly indifferent silver-haired boy would take his joke seriously. He actually stood on the stool, waved his hand, and said expressionlessly:

"I swear on these cards. I will become stronger, stronger than everyone else. I already know that sitting at the poker table is like walking into a battlefield. I will not lose again."

...

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. After a while, someone whispered, "Is this a line from 'The Summoning King'?"

Seno's keen hearing caught this sentence, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Summoning King is a work I like very much. This sentence is also very suitable to be said here. This is the first time I have drawn a character card by myself. I will draw more in the future. This is my idea."

Silence, silence.

...

Harold handed a section of the communication device given by Alice to Kavi: "Senior, leave it with you first. I have to go to Huachengguo later to record today's experimental data."

The time when several newly born honeycreepers start to produce honey and the daily honey production are very important experimental data. No matter how tired he is or how much he wants to give up, he must rush back in time.

After coming back this time, Harold told Kavi and Elhaisen about the progress of his experiment and briefly described the appearance of the little liar flower. Kavi was very interested in it.

"Okay," Kavi nodded, stroking the device in his hand, and asked excitedly, "Can we use this to communicate today? Can I see with my own eyes what those little liars look like?"

Kavi couldn't wait to use the communication equipment brought back by Harold and see the internal situation of his junior's research institute.

Harold smiled and nodded, "Yes, and I can also show you how the Flower of Deception dances. I will also bring the Duskbird with me to let it learn the way. Then I can ask it to help me bring the communicator to the person I designate."

Elhaisen picked up the book and started reading. He was not interested in the video communication between Harold and Kavi or the whereabouts of the Dusk Bird.

The bird standing on Harold's shoulder suddenly cried "Ah", flapped its wings, flew up and landed on Elhaisen's head, scratched his smart hair with its claws twice, and then slowly sat down.

Alhaysen:...

Harold: ...

It has nothing to do with Harold. It was not Harold who ordered it.
