Chapter 858: Familiar, but not too familiar
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment: "That is to say, Jinmao is a key spirit. When his strength reaches a certain level, he will open certain restrictions. Is that what it means?"
"Well, although the name 'key spirit' is a little inaccurate, it can be understood this way."
Gu Sanqiu understood instantly that the second meaning his father hinted at was the unspoken paid content.
The key is used to open the box, but the key is in someone's hands.
Golden Retriever is not a key spirit, but the master of the key. The standard of strength is just a limitation.
It's like a game copy with a limited challenge level. The difference is that you know what's inside the copy, but the future that Golden Retriever opens up is unknown.
“Is change instantaneous or long-lasting?”
"It's so long that I can't even feel it."
"Even you, Dad?"
"right ."
Gu Sanqiu felt relieved, thinking that it wouldn't be a problem.
There can't be any obvious changes in a short period of time, this is calculated based on the demon's concept of time.
With this amount of time, Golden Retriever has probably already traveled around the continent of Teyvat, and might even have fought his way back and forth in the ruins of the old kingdom of Kanreya.
No matter what it is, as long as it is not a magic box that represents disaster and bad luck, everything will be fine. Maybe it is the stinky socks of some super god?
It could also be a goddess' makeup box.
"By the way, Dad, you should have heard what Dotore said. Do you think it makes sense?"
"It makes sense. After all, it is true."
Zhongli explained: "Just like Tartaglia who once caught a glimpse of the true face of the giant beast, do you think that apart from you and the two brothers Inazuma who blocked the sword of the god, who else in the world has such an experience and the determination tempered by such an experience?"
Gu Sanqiu was not convinced: "Osel, doesn't the incident with the multi-headed rat snake count? So many people in Liyue Harbor have witnessed the power of the demon god, doesn't this count?"
"You always act childish in these inexplicable places."
Zhongli laughed at his silly son's inexplicable competitive mentality.
"Osel is still in a semi-sealed state. Moreover, more people are facing the attacks of sea monsters. Only a few of you face the majesty of the demon god."
"Even so, it was only a one-time incident. It is indeed nothing compared to the situation that the Kingdom of Winter is facing."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes lit up.
Wow, if you look at it this way, the Kingdom of Zhidong is definitely a training base for elite soldiers.
"Dad, I have a bold idea."
"No, put away your idea. That won't work. The Qianyan Army has its own will. Doing this will only end up with a bad result."
Zhongli held Gu Sanqiu's head and said, "Even Captain Falgar , he and you can be called guardians, but it is not the same when broken down."
"Perhaps the power of your life stars is related to protection and the improvement of your home field combat strength, but if you look more closely, it is not the case."
"Rock and wind, their elemental natures determine different paths."
"You should understand from this explanation that this principle is applicable both from an individual perspective and from a larger collective perspective."
"Dongzhi's aggression and blood, Liyue's tenacity and protection, once it comes to the struggle of the laws of the general direction, it will not be so easy for you to gain the advantage."
Zhongli shook his head. "If you have time someday, you can go ask that drunkard poet if he has ever thought about establishing an army similar to the Thousand Rocks Army in Mondstadt."
Gu Sanqiu answered without hesitation: "Don't ask, I definitely know the correct answer to this question. Wendy is too lazy to do this and thinks it's troublesome."
Zhongli: ...
It seems that this explanation can really be given?
But wasn't my purpose to educate my son? Why did I get choked by him instead?
"Okay, seeing how lively you are, there's probably nothing wrong with your health."
Zhongli shook his head and said, "I'll give you a task. Go to the black market and buy some new sprouts."
Afraid that Gu Sanqiu’s brain would suddenly start to cramp, Zhongli repeated it once more.
"Pay attention, these are the sprouts of the earth veins, not other things. You must remember this for me."
Gu Sanqiu didn't understand: "Why do you need that thing? Why don't you just go find Nashida?"
"It's not the same thing. To be precise, it's not that simple. Even she doesn't have the ability to help you mobilize new sprouts."
Zhongli was helpless: "I'm giving you an errand to go out and relax. Don't think about fighting with all your strength all day long."
After transmitting the coordinates through his mental power, Zhongli simply left. He couldn't continue to ask questions to this "problem son" who kept asking questions, otherwise all his time today would be wasted here.
Well, there is a new arrangement of songs by Yunhan Society today, you can’t miss it.
The unscrupulous father went out to watch a show. After confirming the coordinates, Gu Sanqiu packed up his gold and silver and prepared to run away.
It was indeed a run. The place was far away and the time was tight. It would be difficult to arrive on time without speeding on the road.
He hoped it would be a normal large shopping mall, or at least an auction. He didn't want to shop among a bunch of roadside stalls.
This black market seems to be understood as a "high-end market". Although there is no strange slogan, it seems that a deposit of 100 million Mora is required for entry.
Fortunately, this money was not paid by myself.
But how many weird places has Dad been to during his leisure time in the mortal world? It would be fine if it was just the Vulcan Arena, which is related to the devil, but why does he even have access to this kind of unconventional black market?
Gu Sanqiu arrived at the black market with full of doubts. After going through a complicated certification procedure, he finally saw the real appearance of the market.
People inside don't shout out their wares, so it looks like an orderly place, but I don't know if there is any after-sales service.
A piece of turquoise that was broken into pieces, the fur of a rare beast, an unknown alchemical instrument dug out from the ruins, and a weapon embryo of good quality...
With just a glance, Gu Sanqiu was sure that this place must be a genuine high-end market. It is impossible for an ordinary place to gather so many good things at once.
But where are the new sprouts he wants?
After taking a quick look at the market map, Gu Sanqiu finally figured out the route to the black market.
It really is a vegetable market, with all kinds of things sorted out for you.
The new sprouts of the earth veins, as an alchemical material with extremely wide uses, have always been a very scarce commodity.
Gu Sanqiu had to run around to several stores to buy the goods, and he even arrived late and someone else had cleared out their stock ahead of time.
What's the point of buying this thing?
Gu Sanqiu didn’t quite understand his father’s behavior. He just thought that he was looking for an excuse to relax.
This is not something that can be seen in public. After all, when it comes to this, everyone present is probably not enough for Gu Sanqiu to beat with one hand.
"Hey, hey, guest, are you interested in seeing my exclusive products?"
Gu Sanqiu subconsciously glanced towards the source of the sound, then his body shook violently, almost knocking off his disguise.
Sunglasses, a peddler-style backpack, a design specifically for sun protection, and a slutty dressing style, when put together, he looks like a weird uncle.
If you follow a little girl, you will definitely be reported by kind-hearted citizens.
Liben?!
