Chapter 252 The Toy Salesman
Xu Ning casually poured out a Mora from the heavy money bag in his hand; it turned out to be the largest denomination, 100,000.
If all the coins inside are of this denomination, this money bag must contain at least several million Mora.
"Why are you giving me this?" Xu Ning asked Tok, twirling his wallet.
Tok said earnestly, "My brother said that if I give this to a kind person, the kind person will treat me well."
Xu Ning smiled, pointed to the people around her, and asked, "Did everyone receive your gift?"
Tok shook his head and said, "They said they don't know where my brother is, so they can't accept him."
Xu Ning thought for a moment, put the money pouch into his pocket, and said to Tok seriously, "Then I will accept it without ceremony. After all, I do know a toy salesman. I just don't know if he is your brother. Why don't I take you to see him?"
Tok exclaimed, "Wow, really? Thank you, kind brother! Make a pinky promise with Tok!"
Xu Ning listened with a smile as Tok finished reciting the traditional pinky promise from the Winter Kingdom, then released Tok's little finger and patted Tok's head with a smile.
"You go play with Xiaoyue first!"
Beidou watched the two children run to the stern to watch the anchor being raised, and asked Xu Ning with a smile, "Why are you so happy? Like you've found a treasure."
Xu Ning nodded with a smile, "You've really struck gold. This little guy is the younger brother of the culprit who's been causing trouble in Liyue lately."
Beidou chuckled, "What a coincidence! But saying we found it isn't quite accurate. On our way back, we heard that two of Zhidong's executives had arrived in Liyue Harbor. We figured this whole thing was probably related to Zhidong. Since we couldn't get back in time anyway, we simply changed flags and hijacked Zhidong's ships one by one. This little guy surfaced from the hold when we sank one of the ships, so we just tossed him onto the ship."
"According to the unfortunate ship owner, he didn't know how the child got on his ship. He guessed that the child was trying to sneak into Liyue to find his brother."
Xu Ning smiled as he looked at the little guy at the stern of the boat.
Since we've run into this situation again, we should at least give them a proper greeting!
Beidou's fleet packed up quickly, and within the time it took to eat a meal, they had already set sail.
Lonely Cloud Pavilion is very close to Liyue Harbor. The Death Star sailed through the waves and soon arrived at the South Dock.
Beidou arranged for staff to stay on duty in shifts, and then allowed everyone to move around freely.
He and Xu Ning escorted Tok directly towards the Moon Sea Pavilion.
“We’ve been making such a show of ourselves, yet no one from the Fatui has come near us. It seems either no one recognizes this young master, or he’s no longer in Liyue Harbor.”
Xu Ning took a sip of wine, watching Tok pointing at various toys at Grandma Ashan's stall and asking all sorts of questions, and sighed, "If only Ye Lan were here right now, she would definitely know where that guy is."
Beidou took the Dust Concealment Gourd from Xu Ning and took a sip of wine.
"This wine tastes very refreshing, but it's a bit too weak. Let's try the Chiiwa instead."
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I drank Thousand Wind mainly to feel the wind elemental power inside. Thousand Rock can't drink it now, it will interfere with important matters. You should drink some Heavenly Dew to tide you over!"
As the two were chatting casually, a young man walked past Xu Ning and casually dropped a note in front of her.
Xu Ning paused for a moment, then picked up the note from the ground and opened it.
"Qingxupu".
Xu Ning smiled upon seeing these three words, then gently crumpled the paper into shreds with his fingers.
"Let's go. Yelan has already pointed out the location to us. Now it's up to our luck."
"Is my brother working so hard? Working so late?"
Despite his boundless energy, Tok was exhausted after walking such a long way up the mountain. He leaned on Xu Ning's back and asked curiously.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the job of a toy salesperson. After all, many toys can only be played with at night, so the time for displaying them must be chosen accordingly."
"Oh, I see, it's just like the fireworks that old lady told me about!"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Tok is really smart!"
Considering that last night was Beidou's first time, I really couldn't bear to see her too tired.
While Tok wasn't paying attention, Xu Ning persuaded Beidou to return to Chenyin Cave to rest.
Tok naturally couldn't let him in, so Xu Ning led him all the way to Qingxupu.
Fortunately, the two were quite lucky. Before they even reached Qingxupu, they saw some firelight coming from a hillside.
Will my brother be there?
After Xu Ning pointed it out to Tok, the little guy asked expectantly.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's definitely there."
Wu Lao Er is very nervous now.
Our small treasure-hunting group is finding it difficult to survive under the strong crackdown by the Liyue authorities.
The joy of freely searching for treasure in Guili Plains is gone forever. Now, even places like Dunyu Ruins and Qingxu Pool, which are rarely visited by Liyue locals, are gradually being infiltrated and occupied by Liyue's inexplicable little groups.
Despite the difficulties they faced in Liyue, the Wu brothers had no intention of giving up on this treasure trove.
After all, in Liyue, protected by the Geo Archon, many valuable treasures have been buried beneath this vast land throughout its six-thousand-year history.
However, he still had to take care of feeding his men, so Wu Lao Er had no choice but to decide to cooperate with the Fools and work for their Mora.
But even though they had received the money, eaten the food, and drunk the wine, the project at Qingxupu had made no progress. Wu Lao Er was constantly afraid that the Fools would come knocking on his door.
But what he feared most came to pass. When the young man in front of him said with a smile that he was a debt collector for the Fools, Wu Lao Er immediately became a little timid.
But after the child appeared, Wu Lao Er immediately got an erection.
The guy in front of me is just a toy salesman?
"You dare to come to this desolate place to scam us guys, Mora? Kid, are you even awake?"
As soon as Wu Lao Er said this, the brothers around him burst into laughter.
As Tok watched and listened to everyone's laughter, he pointed at his brother and said to Xu Ning, "Isn't my brother amazing? He said that a toy salesman's job is to bring laughter to everyone."
Xu Ning smiled and patted Tok on the shoulder, saying, "Then let's not disturb your brother's business. Let's wait for ten seconds. I'm sure your capable brother will finish the business quickly."
As the young master watched Xu Ning pull his younger brother away, he turned to face the group of treasure hunters, and the smile on his face suddenly turned dangerous.
"Haha, I'm really sorry everyone, it seems I'll have to pay for this batch of toys myself!"
