The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Deer Hunter Restaurant.

Maybe it was because Kaiya had something to ask for, or maybe because the knights paid him a lot of salary, he generously said that he would treat him to the meal today, telling Chen Tianfeng and Wendy not to be polite.

Chen Tianfeng was naturally not polite, and Wendy didn't even know what politeness meant.

So there was one person and one god, one specializing in expensive food, and the other even asked the restaurant waiter to go to Angel's Gift to buy a bottle of good wine and pay the bill together later.

"Mr. Chen is short of money recently?"

Kaiya was silent for a few seconds. He was really shocked by the actions of these two people. He was so rude when someone treated him to a treat. Was he treating him as a one-time victim?

"To be honest, I am really short of money."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Chen encountered any difficulties?" Kaiya said with a serious expression: "Mr. Chen is a guest of Mondstadt. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. The Knights will not sit idly by."

"Oh, I really don't know how to say this."

"Mr. Chen, there is no need to worry. Please rest assured that I will keep it confidential."

"Well, Mr. Kaiya said this, so I won't hide it. A few days ago, I met a very powerful alchemist. Seeing that I was extremely talented and a rare talent, he decided to I’m selling my treasured alchemy secrets for three million molas.”

"It sounds like a common phrase used by liars. Mr. Chen was not fooled, right?"

"Of course not. I just saw that the alchemy secret book in the hands of that person was quite extraordinary, and I couldn't bear to let this secret book become dust in the hands of a liar, so I gritted my teeth and bought it."

".Three million molas?"

"Thirty molara - I bargained for it."

"Mr. Chen is great."

"I am over-flattered."

"So how did Mr. Chen become so cash-strapped?"

"Oh, that secret book is really wonderful. I became obsessed with it and bought a lot of equipment and materials, intending to reproduce several interesting alchemy experiments in the book. However, I never thought that all the money would be spent before I could see the results of the experiment. It’s too late to regret it.”

Chen Tianfeng sighed, bowed his hand to Kaiya, and said sincerely: "Mr. Kaiya, if this experiment succeeds, the harvest will be a hundredfold. I wonder if Mr. Kaiya is willing to provide some funding?"

Kaia: "."

It was his fault. He should have told the truth from the beginning and shouldn't have given this guy a chance to talk nonsense.

"Mr. Chen doesn't know something. Due to some reasons, the Knights' funds are tight. Even I, the cavalry captain, haven't received my salary for a long time."

Kaia shook his head, his eyes helpless and sincere: "It's really that I have more than enough ambition but not enough power."

"The Knights also default on wages?"

"It's not arrears, it's just that the Knights have been short of funds recently. We knights naturally have to advance and retreat with the Knights."

"Captain Kaia's awareness is really extraordinary, I admire you."

"I am over-flattered."

Kaia's face was as normal, her heartbeat was steady, and she didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed to discredit the Knights: "It's a coincidence that I have a commission that I want to send to the Adventurers Association today. Mr. Chen can take a look first. If you are willing to help, It will save me another trip to the association.”

"Commission?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and took the document handed over by Kaiya: "A group of treasure thieves camped out in the Lookout Mountains with evil intentions and seriously affected the normal life of the residents of Mondstadt?"

Kaiya nodded: "As long as Mr. Chen can drive away these treasure stealing groups, the knights will definitely give generous rewards."

"Isn't the Knights in financial difficulty?" Chen Tianfeng's eyes were sincere.

"Mr. Chen is not a knight, so he doesn't have to share the joys and sorrows with the Knights." Kaiya smiled and said: "The Knights will also send knights to participate, and safety is guaranteed."

"I see."

Chen Tianfeng nodded, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm just a weak scholar with no strength, otherwise I really want to take the risk."

"Mr. Chen, really don't think about it anymore?" Kaiya glanced at Wendy, his eyes flickered, and smiled: "I can't guarantee anything else, but the knights' reward, I can make the decision, plus some Chenxi Winery Freshly brewed, best quality dandelion wine.”

He held up three fingers: "I can take out this amount of dandelion wine."

"Three bottles?" Chen Tianfeng frowned slightly. Is the newly brewed dandelion wine precious?

"No, thirty barrels."

"!!!"

Wendy, who had nothing to do with herself and even felt a little bored, immediately sat up straight, her jewel-like green eyes almost lighting up, and she quickly grabbed Chen Tianfeng's arm, the anticipation in her eyes almost overflowing.

Just say "promise him, promise him" directly.

"Sorry, I don't like drinking."

Chen Tianfeng was unmoved and refused coldly, pretending not to see Wendy's pretending to be pitiful.

"Oh, Xiao Tianfeng, don't be so heartless."

Wendy put away her pitiful expression, which was almost invincible to the people of Mondstadt, stretched out her hand and pretended to do some calculations, and said with a smile: "I just did the calculations for you, there is a surprise in the Lookout Mountain! Maybe you will meet that person The one who makes you miss me day and night!”

"Oh? She must be a great beauty to make Mr. Chen think about her day and night, right?" Kaiya cooperated very well: "Don't you want to meet Mr. Chen?"

Wangfengshandi was thinking about the surprise. Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Wendy who said, "Believe me, I'm right." One guess after another emerged in his mind, and he finally decided to believe Wendy.

"Mr. Kaia, happy cooperation."

Chen Tianfeng stood up and shook hands with Kaia, with smiles in each other's eyes.

"Happy cooperation. Then I won't bother you two, the Knights still have things to deal with."

After Kaia and Chen Tianfeng agreed on a time, they said goodbye politely, and before leaving, they specifically told Miss Sarah, the waitress of the Deer Hunter Restaurant, that Chen Tianfeng and his meal expenses would be charged to the Knights' account.

"Can you tell me what the surprise is?"

Chen Tianfeng watched Kaia leave, and sat down again after seeing that he did not forget to pay the bill. He turned his head and looked at Wendy: "And the day and night thinking, can you elaborate on it?"

"Oh, it's a surprise, of course it can't be revealed in advance."

Wendy smiled and blinked at Chen Tianfeng: "Just keep looking forward to it, I promise I won't let you down, Xiao Tianfeng."

"If you can change your name, it will be great." Chen Tianfeng was tired.

"Hey~"

Wendy changed the subject: "Xiao Tianfeng, you seem to like calling yourself 'I', why?"

"Two reasons. One is to emphasize my identity as a Liyue person."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and said: "Second, it leaves the impression in some people's minds that 'I never tell the truth'. Then, when I 'accidentally' say 'I'm this or that', maybe some people will believe that 'what I said' is the truth."
