Chapter 261 Things That Can Be Done with Money
Xu Ning stood beside Thomas and couldn't help but find it amusing to see this usually smiling guy suddenly showing signs of impatience.
Thomas undoubtedly knows the local market situation.
The fact that he confidently quoted 600 Mora when he spoke made it clear that this was actually the normal handling fee that Ms. Lily in front of him usually charged.
But if Miss Lily were still satisfied with the 300 Mora processing fee per person after she had given 500,000 Mora to that woman named Yinshan at the inspection station, that would be a miracle.
Even though Thomas was prepared to sacrifice his charms and invite Miss Lily to dinner, there was no room for negotiation.
Lily calmly replied, "500,000 Mora per person, for a total of four people, that's 2 million Mora. I haven't miscalculated!"
Upon hearing this, Paimon, who was behind, chuckled and whispered in Qingyi's ear, "The big drunkard, the street singer, Kong, and you and me, there are actually five of us. She miscalculated. I won't tell her!"
The woman in green glanced at the little white-haired boy and said, "She didn't treat you like a human being, and she wasn't wrong."
Paimon was furious.
"Then I won't tell her, so she'll lose 500,000 Mora."
Xu Ning gently patted Thomas on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let me do it!"
Xu Ning uncorked the gourd and tilted it slightly towards the ground. One by one, ten-thousand-yuan gold Mora coins jingled and poured out of the gourd.
In no time, they piled up on the ground, and the pleasant clanging sound of the mortar attracted the attention of many passersby.
Lily, standing in front of Xu Ning, had her eyes wide open, staring at the Mora pile on the ground and swallowing hard.
When nearly two hundred had been poured out, Xu Ning suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, my friend Thomas just said that your name is Lily. In my hometown, it is a flower that represents solemnity, nobility and honor."
"If you're willing to change your name, I'll give you another 500,000 Mora. Of course, if you're not willing, I'll have to stop now."
Yuri took a hard breath. "I... from now on, I will be called Hagoromo."
Xu Ning smiled, poured her another fifty Mora, and then put away the Dust Concealment Gourd.
"Miss Yuyi, may we register now?"
Yuri, who changed her name to Hagoromo, completed her residency registration with the utmost politeness and speed.
Then he took a cloth bag from inside the house and started filling it with Mora.
Thomas stood to the side, looking slightly embarrassed.
“Brother Xu Ning, this is all my fault. Actually, after I received the message from Sister Beidou, I had already prepared all your procedures. All that was needed was to go through the proper process.”
"But I was just curious about your methods, which is why I came with the intention of watching the show. I never expected..."
Xu Ning laughed heartily, put his arm around Toma's shoulder, and shook the gourd in his hand, saying, "In Liyue, there's an old saying: anything that can be done with money is a small matter. It's just a little Mora, don't worry about it."
"I won't hide it from you. The Liyue Immortal Clan has many magical treasures. This gourd in my hand has one ten-thousandth of the power of the Golden House. Don't underestimate this one ten-thousandth of power. If it were in one person, that would be enough to make them richer than a country."
Thomas gave a wry smile, not believing Xu Ning's words at all.
People around here might not know who Xu Ning is, but how could he not know?
The largest wine merchant in Liyue, with businesses throughout Mondstadt and Liyue.
It is said that the most prestigious of the seven stars, Tianquan Star, was promoted by him.
A few days ago, a merchant even brought news that he had personally led the Thousand Rock Army to fight against the terrifying Vortex Demon God, so his strength should not be underestimated.
What is the purpose of such a person bringing countless Mora to the land of Inazuma?
It seems I should inform Ms. Kamisato as soon as possible.
"In that case, my role is negligible. In that case, I shall take my leave for now! Of course, if you need to find me for anything, please come to the Wooden Leak Tea Room on Narugami Island!"
Thomas said goodbye to everyone and was about to leave when he turned back.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, on this outlying island, most foreign merchants usually seek refuge with the International Chamber of Commerce first. After all, everyone's situation is quite difficult after the country closed itself off. If the gourd in your hand really has that kind of power, you might as well help them."
Xu Ning smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."
After Thomas left, Xu Ning, completely ignoring the greedy looks from those around him at the Dust Concealment Gourd in his hand, stretched lazily and said, "Now that things are done, it's time to get down to business. Let's go, let's go talk to that Wind of the Distant Voyage!"
Seeing that Xu Ning was about to leave, Paimon quickly asked.
"Wait! Aren't we going to the World Chamber of Commerce? Didn't Thomas say they really need our help right now?"
Qingyi looked at Paimon curiously and asked, "We don't know any World Merchants Association, nor do we need to band together with them, so why should we deliberately help them?"
Paimon was momentarily speechless, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Perhaps there are also merchants from Liyue inside who need help?"
Xu Ning shook his head with amusement.
“You don’t understand Liyue at all. With Ningguang and Beidou around, how could we let Liyue merchants suffer any injustice outside? As soon as the Inazuma Isolation Order was issued, Ningguang immediately helped the merchants who wanted to leave to evacuate.”
"Even if some of them haven't left, with Beidou coming to take care of them every now and then, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Besides, the commotion I caused at the Yuanguo Supervisory Office today has already alerted those who are interested, and they will naturally come to me when they encounter difficulties."
Paimon clicked his tongue in amazement: "Is this the confidence of a powerful nation abroad? We can't learn that. Kong, do you think we still need to help those people in the World Merchants Association?"
After thinking for a moment, Kong said, "I also want to get some information from them about the local gods. Anyway, we have nothing else to do, so Paimon and I will go over there."
Xu Ning nodded and led Qingyi along the street at a leisurely pace.
Wendy glanced at Kong's retreating figure, but ultimately decided to go with Xu Ning.
Perhaps due to the lockdown order, there were very few pedestrians on the streets, and many shops were closed.
The "Voyage Wind" store is actually very easy to find; just go up the steps and turn right, and you'll see it directly.
“Miss, the one carrying the wine gourd is Xu Ning, and the one in green behind him is the thief who stole our wine.”
As she listened to her bartender's description of Xu Ning, Kapilia, the owner of Far Voyage Breeze, gradually brightened up.
