Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

After all, Yu Shui was new here, so he still needed someone to familiarize him with the basic environment of Merlot Petersburg before starting work.

There is no doubt that this candidate is Duke Leosley himself, who has a leisurely life and can drink three cups of black tea at a time. Yu Shui feels that he is really good at having the Duke himself lead the team to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Perhaps it was because the two of them were too conspicuous when walking in Merlo Petersburg. Not long after, the news that "there was a tall, white-haired handsome man beside the Duke" spread like wildfire, and many people liked to discuss gossip. Discussions started at all levels immediately.

The specific content is "identity", "relationship with the Duke", "character" and "appearance". After all, Yu Shui is tall and handsome, so the first impression a stranger will have is his appearance, right?

At this moment, Yu Shui and Leosli were still unaware of this, so the first stop to familiarize themselves with the environment was naturally the concession canteen in the Merlot Petersburg Management Area.

"Oh~ the first stop I took me to was actually a place to eat. This is an old saying in Liyue, 'The world is big and the earth is big, the biggest food is the best', right?"

"That makes sense, I also think eating is important."

Leosley's response surprised Yu Shui, because he could hear a bit of playfulness in his words, but then he thought that this was the first time he had interacted with the real Leo in his original identity in daily life. Get along with Sli.

Now he is showing his true character, right? Hiss...compared to when he was chasing the big thief Youlin, it was like heaven and earth. The eyes of Leosley he had seen before were surprisingly cold.

This feeling of knowing a little bit about the true side of the sweetheart that he had never known before made Yu Shui feel secretly happy. He and Leosley sat down at a table outside the cafeteria, which happened to be lunch time.

Versey, the receptionist at the concession canteen, saw Leosley coming and hurriedly came out to greet him in a hurry.

"Your Majesty the Duke! You are here in person. Do you want me to prepare the best food here for you?"

"Two copies. I came here today with my friend. He will be my personal assistant from now on and help me manage the affairs of Merlot Petersburg."

"Eh?"

Versey turned his head and saw Yu Shui, who was sitting opposite Leosley, greeting him with a smile.

"It's our first time meeting you, handsome boy. I'm Yu Shui! A new employee of Merlot Petersburg. Is that clockwork machine over there yours? It looks so cool!"

"Ah hello, Bran, he is also an employee of our concession canteen. The food will be here soon!"

Versey felt that Yu Shui's smile was quite approachable, and he was good-looking. Although he was young, he could serve as the Duke's assistant, and his methods were probably unusual. He was indeed a young talent.

……

"A random lunch box? It sounds really interesting. This way, you don't have to worry about difficult choices."

Yu Shui felt very novel when listening to Leosley's introduction to the concession canteen. The previous few times he had sneaked in, he had only taken a quick look at the prison and had no in-depth understanding of the prison at all.

"That's right. You can come here to eat in the future. Of course, what you can eat depends on your luck."

"Hey~? Don't you have a backdoor as the Duke's assistant, Your Majesty the Duke~"

During the period of waiting for the meal, Yu Shui and Leosli had a lot of free time and chatted. Perhaps because of his true nature, Yu Shui had wavy lines in his words.

This made Leosley look at him frequently.

"Why didn't I see you like this when I was in the cemetery and the opera house? It's better to save your money, unless you are willing to spend the concession coupons to improve the food after your first month's salary is paid."

"Ha, the you I saw outside are different from the you I see now. Where is the cold and cold warden? Why did you become a frivolous wolf-dog boss?"

"Hahaha~"

Leosley was amused by Yu Shui.

After dinner they went to the Broken Bones Shop, the most popular place in Merlot Petersburg.

Mora, the currency that circulates throughout the continent, does not circulate here. Instead, there is a special currency called charter.

With franchise coupons, you can buy everything here except freedom. There may be some gray industries that can get some illegal things, and the Broken Bones Store is the best place to spend franchise coupons.

Although Yu Shui secretly discovered that the bone shop was apparently opened by the owner Elvard, in fact Leosli had various relationships with the shop.

Is this the legendary wage recovery plan? Ha ha.

As for Elward, when he saw Leosley coming side by side with a handsome man, he already knew that this was the rumored assistant to the Duke, Yu Shui.

That's right... within one meal, the news of "Mr. Yu Shui, Assistant to the Duke" had spread throughout Merlot Petersburg.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Yu Shui? Are you two here to familiarize yourself with the environment?"

"That's right. Let's introduce your broken bones shop to Yu Shui, right?"

……

"Yeah, I probably understand, so in the future my work list will also include checking the store's accounts. Are there any tobacco for sale?"

After listening to the introduction, Yu Shui's first thought was whether there were any tobacco for sale? Could it be that he is still an old smoker, Leosley thought silently in his heart.

"Duke, what are you looking at? I don't smoke, so I'll ask... People with heart disease can't smoke. I still cherish my life."

"It turns out that the rumors that the young master of Thorn Rose Club has a serious heart disease are true. Pay attention to your health."

Leosley was thoughtful and expressed a little concern. Yu Shui said that he was very helpful and wanted to know how Leosley would feel when he knew that what he cared about was the prick in his eye.

As for Elward, he silently memorized the information about "The Young Master of the Rose of Thorns Club" in his mind. After all, it was just intelligence information.

Later, Leosley took Yu Shui to visit the entire Merlot Petersburg, including the prison area, production area, boxing arena, etc. The prison area is where the prisoners live, and the production area produces and goes to Quanfeng. Dan transports clockwork.

It is also a place where prisoners work to earn concession coupons.

"Leosli, if my source is correct, the voucher system was not the first thing you promoted?"

When returning to the lifting platform of the management area from the production area, Yu Shui asked seemingly unintentionally but actually deliberately. Leosli seemed to be unprepared and nodded lightly.

"Before I took over Merlo Petersburg, charter coupons had already been circulating here. Since everyone is used to it, why should I change it?"

"That makes sense."

Later, when he returned to the Duke's office, Leosley went to make tea by himself and talked by the way.

"The guards have their own dormitories, but your status is different after all, so I have arranged your residence inside the office, probably next to my lounge. Come on, try to make me feel at ease as the boss."

"Ah ha? Then what are you going to do secretly during your time as a hands-off shopkeeper, to experience a normal life?"

"What are you thinking about? Of course I am going to Quanfontein to track down the big thief You Lin. I have to find out everything about him."

Far away, yet so close.
