Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

I just don't know if Liben dares to take this kind of transportation. If he really goes this way, he should have reached the middle of Guiliyuan by this time.

Alas, forget it, people have already left, why do you think about these things.

Shen Ming shook his head, "What's for lunch?"

Hu Tao paused, and began to look at the ceiling, "Yeah, what are you eating?"

This is not the first time that such dialogues and problems have appeared between the two, and both of them have good solutions.

There is a saying that when you don’t know what to eat every day, you can go to Wanmintang to find Xiangling.

She will always have some new dishes that look strange and have weird names, but taste surprisingly delicious. Usually, if Hu Tao and Shen Ming can't get by, she will look for Chongyun and Xingqiu.

Of course, the two of them are not always there, so every time Hu Tao and Shen Ming go to Wanmintang for dinner, Xiangling will smile, because it means that her new dishes have been tested.

The two packed their bags and headed out.

"Zhongli, do you want us to bring you some back?" Shen Ming turned around and shouted.

"No, I'm going to listen to the book in the afternoon." Zhong Li took a sip of tea.

Zhongli didn't know when he fell in love with this book suddenly, and went out to listen to it every now and then, and he listened to it all afternoon.

Liyue's port is still full of people coming and going, from Chihuyan to everywhere there is a flow of people.

The voice of the eldest sister who sells offal is still clear, it seems that no matter how far away in the crowd, as long as you have the heart, you can hear it, and the recognition is very high.

The shops of each store opened one after another, and at noon, it was the busiest time for business.

The Adventurers Association is still releasing some weird missions, some from their association itself, and some from residents or merchants.

Of course, the requests of ordinary residents are generally not here. After all, posting tasks also requires money, and you can't be too picky.

Wanmin Hall is not too far from the Adventurer's Association, just a few streets away, and today there are several curious figures gathered there.

"What's the matter with this commission?"

"Is the reward a bit weird?" An adventurer stroked his chin.

Everyone talked about it, but no one dared to answer.

In fact, this entrustment is really a bit confusing, and everyone has never seen such an entrustment.

[Looking for a gem from Fontaine, red and blue in appearance, lustrous in color. 】

Gone, and then gone.

No clues, no location, not even a photo.

How to find this.

Chapter 140 Eight This Thing Is Too Expensive, You Can't Handle It

Hu Tao and Shen Ming, who had finished their meal at noon, were also attracted by the lively scene at the Adventurer's Association.

Seeing this commission, the two were also amazed.

In addition to being amazed, the two are somewhat familiar with such a description.

Have you heard it somewhere?

"Hutao, have we heard this description before?" Shen Ming turned around and asked.

"Hmm." Hu Tao nodded blankly.

The two thought for a few seconds...

"Liben!" The two whispered at the same time.

However, the remuneration for this entrustment is also very special. The specific value is stated clearly, but it is planned to be negotiated in person, and the process of negotiating is also required to be kept confidential.

The adventurers here are afraid to try such a weird commission and reward, because there are too few clues, and the reward is not mentioned.

The contact address was left under the entrustment, and it looked like Liuli Pavilion.

"Would you like to take a look?" Walnut said.

"Hey, you two, do you have any clues?" Seeing that Shen Ming and Hu Tao were about to write down the contact information, an adventurer couldn't help asking.

Shen Ming glanced at Hu Tao, and Hu Tao also glanced at Shen Ming.

"Hey hey..." Hu Tao/Shen Ming.

"No, no." Shen Ming.

"There are clues so soon." Hu Tao.

"Then, then I won't bother you." The adventurer waved his hand with a bit of embarrassment. He was just curious, but it was a bit out of bounds.

This kind of intelligence with first-hand advantage is naturally impossible to find out by just asking.

"I don't even write down the amount of remuneration, how much money I can afford, I don't care..." the adventurer muttered.

Shen Ming and Hu Tao wrote down the contact information, then turned their heads and walked towards Liuli Pavilion.

......

When I arrived at the Liuli Pavilion, I told the waiter in front of the door, and was led behind the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a rich-looking businessman eating Hesai in front of the dishes.

"You are......"

"We are from the Adventurers Association." Shen Ming said first.

"Is there a clue for the gem?!" The client's eyes lit up.

"There are indeed some clues, but we are curious why the rewards are not reported in the Adventurer's Association?" Hu Tao said curiously.

"This..." The client hesitated for a moment.

"It's the remuneration that you said is negotiable." Hu Tao said.

"Okay then, but you have to help me keep it a secret and sign a non-disclosure agreement." The client finally decided.

"Yes." Shen Ming and Hu Tao nodded.

"That's how it is. My name is Francis, a traveling merchant from Fontaine." Francis said, "Sit first, sit first, let's talk while eating."

"This table is not cheap." Shen Ming sighed as he looked at the dishes on the table.

"What's the matter if it's not cheap? It's not cheap to eat! Don't worry, I'll take care of this meal! Waiter! Change another table! I want a treat!"

"Mr. Francis, you can talk about it." Shen Ming didn't touch the dishes on the table, but asked first.

"Hmm!" Francis took a sip of the wine and wiped the stain. "Two or three months ago, a friend of mine said that he found a seriously undervalued gem at an auction."

"He had never seen such a unique native gemstone, raw and polished, and he was itching to create the most beautiful pair of bracelets."

"The people at the auction didn't have much discernment, and the prices they gave were ridiculously low. Also, the rough stones are indeed not as good as the polished ones before they are carved."

"However, I was a step too slow. Alas... I just heard that it was bought by a traveling merchant from Liyue. Why don't I come here to place an entrustment? I'll see if I can find it and buy it back."

"Uh... that's all?" Shen Ming didn't know why.

"What do you mean that's all?! You don't understand the value of that stone!" Francis squirmed, "How much did the businessman from Liyue pay for this gemstone? 10 moras!"

"10! He can buy a fart for 10!!"

"Does he know that the gem contains the power of elements? Red and blue, the power of water and fire are intertwined and balanced. Where can I find such a rare gem! A friend of mine who uses God's Eye told me that such stones are basically found in the environment. It is extremely difficult to mine in an extremely harsh place, and it may not be able to flow into the market for decades!"

"Purely natural, purely natural, I wouldn't be so excited if it was a product of alchemy."

"Both of you, it's my fault that I was slow at the beginning. I hope that the two of you can keep the specific information about this gem secret when you are looking for it."

"If you find it, it's best to buy it quietly, and I can pay for it. If it's really difficult..." Francis gritted his teeth, "tell the truth to the other party, and then tell him the carved gemstone How beautiful and valuable."

"Anyway, no matter how exaggerated, you must make the other party feel that if you don't process it, you will lose a lot, and then let him hand over the processing process to my friend, which can be regarded as fulfilling my friend's wish."

"You must blow it up. If you don't blow it up too much, the other party may find it troublesome and have no motivation, so they will reject it directly!"

Shen Ming and Hu Tao looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Mr. Francis, I'm suddenly curious about how your friend wants to carve this gem?" Shen Ming suddenly leaned over.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Ming's actions.

Shen Ming hurriedly motioned to Hu Tao to keep quiet, don't be funny, just stop.

"Ahem!" Hu Tao coughed, and then reservedly began to sandwich the new dishes that the waiter had just brought.

Mmm, delicious!fragrant!

"Let me tell you, that gemstone has elemental power, and ordinary people will have physical problems if they hold it."

"My jeweler friend also has the eyes of God, and his strength is not bad."

"He meant to separate the two forces of water and fire from the gem, but because the two are originally from the same source, they are also related to a certain extent, forming a state of disconnection."

"And then?" Walnut said expectantly while eating.

"The function and meaning are all obvious!" Francis patted his thigh, "If both parties are users of elemental power, then messages can be transmitted remotely through this state."

"I can even pack it! A pair of bracelets are divided into men's and women's styles to form a couple combination. The passion of fire and the subtlety of water, the two attract each other and keep a distance, but no matter when and where, they can directly communicate with each other through the bracelet. , to shorten the distance between the heart and the heart.”

"I can still... Uh, what's the matter with you?" Francis was talking excitedly, looking at Hu Tao and Shen Ming who were staring at him, and asked strangely.

"Ah?" Hu Tao and Shen Ming came back to their senses, "Ah! It's nothing, nothing!"

"Oh~ I see, you're moved, aren't you?" Francis looked at Shen Ming and Hu Tao.

"No, we didn't!" Hu Tao denied with a blushing face.

"Alas... Whether you have it or not, listen to my advice, this is too precious, you may not be able to afford it." Francis said with a sigh.

"Once the creation is completed, there will be no second set of Quantiwatt, it is truly out of print."

"Yeah, we won't buy it." The two nodded quickly.

Chapter 140 Nine Hu Tao: Let's go find Liben, just the two of us

The two walked out of the Liuli Pavilion without chatting with Francis for a long time.

Along the way, the corners of Hu Tao's mouth kept rising, humming a little song, and her footsteps were bouncing.

"Shen Ming, what are you thinking?"

Hu Tao obviously felt that the frequency of Shen Ming's footsteps behind her was much faster, which made her smile even more happily.

Of course she knew what Shen Ming was thinking, but she just wanted to ask.

"Ahem, me, I remembered some happy things." Shen Ming, who was behind Hu Tao, coughed and said.

The two walked on the way back to the Xiangshengtang, pretending to look around for the scenery.

"Shen Ming, where do you think Brother Liben is now?"

"Probably on the way from Liyue to Mengde." Shen Ming thought for a while, "If Liyue is not the final destination for the businessmen who come to Liyue, then there is a high probability that Mengde didn't run away."

"It just so happens that Mond is in the midst of the dragon disaster and supplies are in short supply. It's not incomprehensible that he wants to go to Mond to see the opportunity."

......

The two returned to the Hall of Resurrection, and then tacitly began to pack their things.

"Huh? Are you going on a long trip?" Zhong Li asked when he saw this situation.

"Yes, yes, we went out to look for business opportunities, and it just so happened that the Xiangsheng Hall was not particularly busy." Hu Tao nodded while packing her things.

"Looking for business opportunities..." Zhong Li closed his eyes a little, and when he opened them again, he glanced at Hu Tao, and then took a special look at Shen Ming who was still in the room.

"Although I don't quite understand what business opportunities you're talking about, but... it's good to go out for a walk."

"Business opportunities... What kind of business opportunities does Xiangsheng Hall need?" Zhong Li walked slowly to the study room, leaving behind Hu Tao with a guilty expression.

Hu Tao didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that Zhong Li would expose it.

He raised his head and stretched his neck to look at the study room, Zhong Li didn't seem to notice this side?

Coincidentally, at this moment, the door of the study was closed by Zhong Li.

It was discovered!
