Chapter 327 Billions of Funds
"Oh yes, Brother Fu, I'm not here to ask for money, I'm here to give you a gift."
Liu Bai suddenly realized and quickly explained to Pantalone.
"Ahem, Mr. Lerch, please don't hurt me. Why would I accept a gift? I have always been fair."
Pantalone couldn't help but cough lightly.
"No, no, Brother Fu, please look!"
Liu Bai stretched out his hands from under his coat and gently took out the well-preserved Chilong skin from Xiao Bai's house.
"This is……"
With Pantalone's keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this dragon skin was extraordinary.
This piece of Chi dragon skin was peeled off from the flesh and blood that was knocked off the Chi when it was alive. It is for this reason that the Chi, which is as big as a mountain, only has this relatively small piece of dragon skin left.
After all, the other dragon skins were completely ruined by the attack of a certain rock-type demon.
This also means that the dragon's skin is not tainted by any evil spirits and is very clean.
Otherwise, regardless of whether they are demons or not, the elemental power of a powerful creature in Teyvat will instantly explode out of control after its death, thus endangering one side.
"Hehe, I heard from the lady before that Brother Fu that you wanted dragon skin, so I got a piece specially for you. Thank you Brother Fu for taking care of me over the years. I am very grateful to you and your Mora."
Liu Bai showed the dragon skin in his hand and then explained to Pantalone.
"Dragon skin... Judging from the color, it shouldn't be from a wind dragon. But it's really troublesome for you to find a dragon skin of this quality, Lerch."
Pantalone was slightly stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Liu Bai came here for this matter. After all, he had never mentioned it to Liu Bai.
If I think about it carefully, it seems that as long as I ask for something, he cares more about it than I do...
Thinking of this, Pantalone couldn't help feeling relieved and touched.
Compared to those executives who only care about money, Lerchi is still a better person...
This funding was not given in vain!
"It's nothing. As long as Brother Fu wants it, I'll get it for you."
Liu Bai said as he folded the dragon skin in his hand in half and placed it on the desk.
"Just now I was wondering if you, Lerchi, were here to ask for funding as well. Now I am really ashamed of myself."
"But I can't take this dragon skin from you for nothing. I just happened to hear that you, Lerch, went to Mond recently. How about this? Just apply for your funding in Mond."
Pantalone said this with some shame, and then made an assurance to Liu Bai.
"Then... one, ten billion?"
Liu Bai thought for a moment and weakly stretched out a finger.
He remembered that this was the highest funding he had ever applied for, and it was approved by the Ice Queen.
"Ten billion? No way!"
Pantalone, who was observing the dragon skin carefully, stood up straight at once.
"At least one hundred billion."
Pantalone said seriously.
One hundred billion Mora is the upper limit of funds that an executive can apply for under normal circumstances. If he reports it to the Ice Queen as long as it does not exceed this amount, the Ice Queen will not ask any questions.
"...Then one hundred billion."
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly increased the number of fingers he extended from one to ten.
"No problem, just come to Northland Bank to collect it later."
Pantalone nodded without hesitation.
"..."
Nashida couldn't help but sigh that Zhidong was really rich. In the House of the Order, with so much extra funding, even a single college might not be able to apply for it.
"Besides that, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain you two tonight. I hope you will honor me with your presence."
Then Pantalone continued to explain.
……
"Girl, I'm afraid I'm very rich now."
After saying goodbye to Pantalone and leaving Northland Bank, Liu Bai looked up at the sky and said with some pride.
"You are indeed richer than the average person. You haven't even spent all the 50 billion you got last time."
Nashida nodded. With such a large sum of money in one person's hands, one person did seem quite wealthy.
"That's great, I can finally afford to marry a wife~"
Liu Bai shook his head left and right with some happiness.
"?"
“Is marriage expensive?”
Nashida tilted her head and asked.
"I don't know, but I heard it's expensive. I'll try getting married someday."
Liu Bai wasn't quite sure either, so he could only shake his head.
"Okay, let's try it another day~"
Nashida blushed and nodded.
"Well, then I want to know who I want to try it with first..."
"?"
"Oh! I'm wrong, I'm wrong! Girl, I was wrong!"
Liu Bai, who was severely controlled by Nashida, had no choice but to admit his mistake.
Anyway, hiding under the coat, passers-by can't see anything unusual.
"So who are you going to marry first?"
Nashida raised her head and looked at Liu Bai's chin and asked.
"With you first?"
Liu Bai bent his waist and responded weakly.
"Huh, that's wrong. There's no such thing as who comes first and who comes later. It can only be with me. Remember?"
Nashida snorted lightly, but still let Liu Bai go.
"remember!"
Liu Bai, who was let go by Nashida, quickly agreed.
After getting Liu Bai's answer, Nashida nodded in satisfaction, leaned back on Liu Bai's chest, shook her ears, closed her eyes, and let Liu Bai continue to hold her while walking.
……
Evening, Mondstadt.
The pink-haired fox opened the door, only to find no one at home.
"Where are people going?"
She looked around in confusion, but did not detect the scent of Liu Bai and Nashida.
Since she often went out alone during the day, she didn't think much of it when she didn't see Liu Bai and the others in the morning, and thought they went to the library to read again.
Unable to find anyone, the pink-haired fox had to run to the Deer Hunter Restaurant, but found that no one was there either.
"Where have you gone..."
"At least leave me some Mora before you go, or I won't starve..."
The pink-furred fox muttered in confusion.
But soon her attention fell on a blonde traveler, next to whom was a little white guy who was grunting and eating the food on the table.
The pink-haired fox's eyes moved and it moved closer to that side.
"Hmm? Is it the little fox Liu Bai raised?"
When Ying saw the pink-haired fox jumping onto the table, she recognized her at once.
"Are you hungry? Okay, go ahead and eat. If Paimon tries to protect her food, I'll help you beat her up."
Seeing the cute pink-haired fox raising its front paws and pointing at its mouth, Ying immediately spoke to her.
……
"Girl, is there anyone you can trust who can beat the Master Cooking God?"
Liu Bai and Nashida were preparing to go to Pantalone for a meal. On the way, Liu Bai suddenly remembered something and lowered his head to ask Nashida.
"Someone you can trust... and who can defeat Baalzebul?"
Narcida tilted her head.
"Well... among the people you know, the most powerful one might be Navilette, who is already a perfect dragon, but he is not particularly familiar with you and may not be able to help you."
"If you want to be familiar with him, he must also have the combat power of a demon god... maybe you can consider the Seven Gods except the God of Fire. It seems that you have a good relationship with the Seven Gods."
Nashida thought for a moment and then answered.
"But considering Baalzebul's martial arts, it's hard to say whether a single one of the Seven Gods can defeat her."
After saying this, Nashida added another sentence.
"I see. If one person can't fight, why not call for help from everyone..."
"Let's form a coalition and attack Inazuma!"
Liu Bai nodded and suggested this.
"...?"
