Chapter 17: Start to Disgust
The next morning, Gu Sanqiu got up early, which was rare for him. He stuffed the thing he took out of the golden finger yesterday into his mouth, and then staggered out of the house.
Item: Flame Sea Urchin Egg
Source: Undersea volcano
Note: This is a delicacy produced by some magical creatures in volcanoes, but its origin has always been one of the unsolved mysteries in the scientific research community.
After peeling off the sea urchin shell of this thing, Gu Sanqiu could even feel the burning pain on his fingers. It was obvious that the shell was also a major raw material for harming people.
If there is any difference between this and ordinary egg products, it is that the yolk of this thing is a ball of flame that constantly swims in the egg white.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Gu Sanqiu suddenly felt much more energetic, and even had the illusion that his blood vessels were burning.
The worst food he ate every day was of the quality of Liuliting, Xinyuexuan and Wanmintang. Gu Sanqiu felt that he continued like this, he would be able to single-handedly pull Guyun Pavilion to the vicinity of Liyue Port, build it into a new generation of port, and then become a happy landlord.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Osel's trouble must be dealt with in advance.
"It's a pity that the things I got have basically no possibility of being cultivated, otherwise the food raw material business in Teyvat would be monopolized by me sooner or later."
As for the giant-legged chicken he got a few days ago... Gu Sanqiu felt that he didn't want to make his life more difficult for the time being.
"Haha, you've been following me since I left the house."
Gu Sanqiu raised the corner of his mouth: "Then follow me, and I will show you where my destination is today."
Behind him, spies from different forces looked at each other, but did not do anything stupid like blocking each other.
We are all people trying to make a living. We should not be too impulsive before everything is concluded. This is the way adults deal with things.
However, as they walked, the spies discovered something wrong.
Something seemed to be wrong with Gu Sanqiu's direction.
According to common sense, this Liyue Xiangjun has a very fixed route. She goes to Wanmin Hall to have breakfast in the morning, and then wanders around somewhere until lunch time.
As for where they would slack off in the afternoon, they were not quite sure. After all, they would not stare at each other all day long, and they would not do something so blatant as to ignore Qixing.
Why does the direction seem wrong today?
"That place is..."
The workers who watched Gu Sanqiu go upstairs were stunned for a moment, and then when they saw Gu Sanqiu turn around, point at their location with his index finger with a smile on his face, these people recognized his destination as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"That place is, Northland Bank!"
After everyone looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically, and without saying a word they all ran away in the direction of their master's house.
Gu Sanqiu specifically pointed out where they were and walked into the Northland Bank in a carefree manner. The meaning behind this was something they could not help but think about.
After taking the tea handed over by the staff, Gu Sanqiu did not deliberately look at the decoration of the Northland Bank.
After all, for a bank, being eccentric is a stupid behavior that cannot be tolerated. The people of Liyue are used to a certain style of decoration. From a bank's perspective, being eccentric will easily leave an impression of "unreliable" and "easy to go bankrupt" in the minds of customers.
Although this place is probably a base for the Fatui to facilitate fund turnover, it is impossible to rely entirely on funding from the Kingdom of Winter, and it is necessary to increase revenue.
but……
"Northland Bank, the scapegoat bank, is this really not intentional?"
"Hello sir, this is Amir, our senior account manager of Northland Bank. He will handle all your business needs."
“Well, Gu Sanqiu, Mr. Gu, this should be the first time we meet, and we are quite familiar with the name of the incense burner.”
Amir didn't say any meaningless , but went straight to the point.
"So, sir, is there any problem that needs to be solved when you come here this time?"
He didn't believe that this guy was here to handle banking business. As a burner, there were many people willing to help the Gu family, and some would even give money directly to Gu Sanqiu.
"Well, he is a smart man."
Gu Sanqiu didn't expect to see Ya Ya the first time. If he could see the executive the first time, he would worry about whether he could walk out of Northland Bank normally.
"I believe you all know what I want to do now. Or rather, I believe in your Fatui's intelligence network. All I want is to have some connection with you all."
Amir smiled and said, "As expected of you, you are the successor of the Incense Worshiper. According to the analysis of our strategic department, your coming to our Northland Bank to discuss this matter is indeed the best solution at the moment."
"Oh? There is such a saying?"
Gu Sanqiu was a little surprised: "It seems that you have been staring at me for a long time."
"A family that owns both the ancient and the present is quite rare in any country, not to mention that the Gu family still has coveted secrets."
Amir's words were very straightforward: "Those secrets are the source of curiosity and are also a treasure that makes people feel excited. To be honest, we, the Fatui, or the Kingdom of Winter, also want to get them very much."
"Very good, I like your frankness."
Gu Sanqiu smiled with satisfaction: "Then, let's make a deal, only between me and you Fatui."
"What can you offer us? As far as we know, although the Gu family has a high status, they never get involved in any routine affairs of Liyue."
"Excuse me, your help to us seems to be much smaller than I thought."
"As a rule of thumb, I won't help you do those things."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "What you did in Liyue, to put it nicely, was to stimulate economic recovery. To put it bluntly, you disrupted the market order with your own strength, and you were a foreign company."
"We are not, strictly speaking, on the same side."
"I understand, I understand. This is the adult world. This is all normal."
Amir shrugged. "But we can also form a temporary alliance for some reasons, right?"
"That's right."
Gu Sanqiu took out a round ball from his waist: "I believe you will be interested in the manufacturing method of this thing."
Item: Resuscitation Sphere
Source: Too many to verify.
Note: When your enemies use a series of illegal and immoral skills such as Rejuvenation Roar on pets and familiars, they may have secretly used the Revival Sphere.
Effect: treatment, recovery, health care (biological universal)
"This is a very convenient recovery item. Its usage is similar to the ones that the treasure-stealing groups use to escape, and this thing can also be slapped on the body."
Gu Sanqiu took out five revival balls and placed them on the table.
"I don't know how to make it, but I can give you some ideas, and I'll also allow you to try a few to see the effect."
After hearing the description of the effect, Amir's eyes narrowed slightly, and a gleam of light that only belongs to smart people flashed in his eyes.
"Ah, that's an interesting thing."
