Chapter 217: Sincerity That Moves Heaven and Earth
After Liu Bai finished his breakfast with pig brain, Nashida gave him some time to review.
What Nashida meant by reviewing was that Liu Bai should look at her face carefully and remember her appearance so that he could pass the exam.
Liu Bai cooperated by holding up Nashida's cheek and moved closer to observe Nashida's appearance carefully.
He looked so serious that his eyes were almost cross-eyed.
This is probably the first time he stared at me so seriously for so long...
Nashida thought with a slightly blushing face.
"Girl, are you wearing colored contact lenses? Why are your eyes in this pattern?"
Looking into Nashida's eyes, Liu Bai asked curiously.
There is a light green pattern resembling a four-pointed star in Nashida's pupils.
Although Liu Bai has a poor memory, he has a deep impression of the memories before the time travel, so he subconsciously believes that people's pupils should look normal.
"You just noticed it now? You idiot."
Nashida puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Liu Bai continued to observe Nashida's appearance carefully.
After thirty minutes of review time, Nashida started a new test for Liu Bai.
One of the questions is...
"What do I look like now?"
Nashida covered Liu Bai's eyes from behind and asked.
"…Well, my girl is a little elf with pointy ears?"
Liu Bai thought for a moment and then answered.
"It's too late to give this answer now. It's wrong."
Nashida shook the cat ears on top of her head, snorted softly and said.
Just like that, after some effort, Liu Bai successfully achieved a good score of 0 points after ten minutes.
"..."
"Help! Let me out! I don't want to take the exam ah ah ah——"
……
A day later, Liu Bai finally came out of the little white house.
It’s not that he passed Nashida’s test, but that he accepted Nashida’s conditions and added ten points for each time he did it.
"Well... I should go ask Brother Fu for funding today..."
Liu Bai yawned and stretched, then he remembered the reason why he returned to Zhidong.
"Yeah, let's go."
Nashida hugged Liu Bai's arm and nodded obediently.
She seemed much clingier today.
In this way, Liu Bai brought Nashida to the headquarters of the Northland Bank in Zhidong again.
"I'm very sorry, Master Wangzhe, the master has gone out and is not in Zhidong now."
When Liu Bai came to the office and didn't find anyone, the temporary head of Northland Bank, a confidant of Pantalone, came over and explained to Liu Bai apologetically.
"So he hasn't come back yet?"
Liu Bai scratched his head, thinking that the other party had already returned.
In that case, he would have to go back to Liyue to find Pantalone.
"But the master sent a message a few days ago, saying that if you find it, you can use the communication equipment to contact him. He also has something to talk to you about."
Seeing Liu Bai's reaction, the other party immediately continued to explain, then picked up a communication device similar to a mobile phone from the desk in the office and handed it to Liu Bai.
Pantalone invested heavily in the technical research and development of this communication device. It is precisely relying on this communication technology that the banks of the seven countries of Teyvat can be synchronized in real time.
Therefore, even if Liu Bai deposits money into his account in Zhidong and then teleports to Liyue, he can still withdraw the money he just deposited in Zhidong from his account.
It is this technology that laid the foundation for Northland Bank to become the only multinational bank in Teivat.
It is said that the Adventurers' Guild also borrowed related technologies.
Under his guidance, Liu Bai quickly and successfully activated this special communication device.
"I'm here, what's up?"
After a while, Pantalone's voice came from the communication device.
"Master, the Lord of the Impertinence is looking for you."
Pantalone's confidant explained, then quietly left the room.
"Brother Fu, I'm hungry, money!"
Hearing Pantalone's voice coming from the communication device, Liu Bai, as a time traveler, was not surprised at all, but immediately spoke to Pantalone.
"Haha, you need funding again, right? Please wait for me for a moment..."
"Mr. Zhongli, I have something personal to attend to. Please excuse me first. I'll treat you to tea next time."
Pantalone responded with a chuckle, and then the communication device emitted his words, which he had deliberately said from a distance.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lerch to be so ambitious. It's really embarrassing. We are all busy working for Her Majesty the Queen, so we don't have to worry about the funding."
After a while, Pantalone's voice came again, and it seemed that there was some sighing.
Comparing him with the person next to him, he felt that these were two students who loved learning, but one had really learned it, while the other had not yet found the book.
"Alright, long live Brother Fu, Brother Fu is the sky, Brother Fu is the earth, Brother Fu can stand tall and straight, Brother Fu is the wind, Brother Fu is the rain, Brother Fu can call the wind and rain, thank Brother Fu for the 10 billion funding~"
As long as the funds are in place, Liu Bai can try to sweeten his words.
"Hey, Mr. Lerch, please don't embarrass me. Besides, when did I ever say I would give you 10 billion..."
Pantalone seemed to be choked by Liu Bai's words.
"Eh……"
"But if you need funding, I can do you a small favor. If you can help me, I can give you 100 billion Mora to spend as you please. How about that?"
Hearing Liu Bai's voice becoming lost because of his words, Pantalone continued speaking and threw out a funding amount that made Liu Bai's eyes light up.
"One hundred billion Mora? Brother Fu, just tell me what you want. Even if you want to buy the Winter Palace, I will find a way to steal it for you!"
Liu Bai said excitedly with shining eyes.
"Ahem, that's not something you can talk about!"
Pantalone was shocked by Liu Bai's words.
"It is like this, Mr. Lerch. I heard you say that you have seen the Rock God, and I happen to want to see her face. Could you please ask her to see me?"
Pantalone told Liu Bai that he wanted to ask him for help.
……
Liyue Harbor.
"Brother Zhongli, I have a business that you will definitely be interested in."
Liu Bai found Zhongli who had just returned from Chenyu Valley, invited him to dinner at Wanmin Hall and said this at the dinner table.
"Oh? You two are considered big customers of Wangsheng Hall. Please tell us what business you have."
Zhongli was slightly interested, then waved his hand to invite Liu Bai.
"It's like this. A big client of mine gave me some money and wants to treat you to a meal. If you go, I'll split the money with you in half."
Liu Bai picked up some food and put it into Nashida's bowl while explaining to Zhongli.
"Hmm? But Mr. Zhong is not some big shot who is hard to see. Why do you need to mobilize so many people?"
Zhongli was a little confused. He often saw himself in the market. Shouldn't it be very easy for him to see him?
"No, no, no, what the other party wants to see is..."
Liu Bai shook his head, paused at the end, and looked around cautiously.
"The other party wants to see the Rock God..."
After making sure that no one was paying attention to this side, Liu Bai explained in a low voice.
"...There is no Rock God in this world. Brother Liu Bai, you must be joking."
"Even if there is, how could he be someone who would stoop to such a low position for a little Mora?"
Hearing Liu Bai's plan, Zhongli shook his head with amusement and refused.
"Brother Zhongli, are you really not going to see me?"
Seeing Zhongli’s refusal, Liu Bai couldn’t help but ask further.
Zhongli didn't reply, but just shook his head slightly.
He is already preparing for the next ceremony to invite the immortals, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will not meet people as the God of Rock again.
"That's such a pity. One hundred billion Mora. Even if it's split in half, I can still get 50 billion Mora..."
Seeing Zhongli’s refusal so confidently, Liu Bai lay down on the table with some regret.
If he fails to fulfill Pantalone's request, he can only get the initial 2 billion funds...
After all, this time he didn't have the "Iwagami Shizutu" to sell to Pantalone.
"I see that this person has a sincerity that can move heaven and earth. He must be someone with a destiny to become an immortal."
"If we lead him to Jueyunjian, we may be able to see the immortal."
Zhongli took a sip of soup and then spoke in a calm tone.
