Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 226 Extreme joy leads to sorrow

Gui Zhong, seeing Hui Yuan grinning foolishly, naturally knew what had happened.

Because Sister Tongzi kept chatting with Guizhong behind Huiyuan's back, Huiyuan was completely unaware that Guizhong had already figured out all of Huiyuan's secrets.

Aside from not knowing her true gender, Gui Zhong seemed to know everything about Hui Yuan.

Seeing that Mora's total value was increasing by 5 per minute, Huiyuan had already started thinking about retirement.

According to estimates, 10 tons of salt are produced per hour, and the system quotes a price of 30 moras per ton.

That is to say, 3 million Mora per hour, and 72 million Mora per day.

This is more than 20 times faster than Huiyuan's daily hard work of buying and selling jewelry, indirectly taking money from Ningguang's wallet!

(And you can make money while lying down, without having to run around every day. This feeling can only be described in two words: How wonderful! [Da Zuoyin])

No more hassle of keeping track of expenses for Ningguang, Dadalia, and Xingqiu every day.

It's a hassle to have to explain why I'm doing this every time I spend their money.

This salt cup is wonderful! This salt cup is fantastic!

(Unlike the unlimited beverage bottles the system gave us, they used a gourd container with such a small opening! Even after sitting upside down in the Eye of God's space for half a day, we couldn't earn 1 Mora. So stingy! Enough said. Heureia, I love you!)

Once the Mora Shop was opened, Huiyuan began frantically filling her shopping cart.

(First and foremost, you're the one I miss most! "Ruyi Jingu Bang"—I need you!)

Currently, Mora has a deposit balance of over 2 million Mora.

It seems like a lot, but most items in the Mora Shop cost 1 million Mora. Buying just a few things will leave you penniless.

But things are different now. With Mora earning 1 million a day, Huiyuan no longer has to think carefully before buying things!

(Ha ha--!)

As the system's golden notification appeared, "Ruyi Jingu Bang" had been purchased and stored in the Eye of God's space, and Huiyuan summoned it with a crooked smile.

After the golden cudgel, about the size of an ear pick, appeared in Huiyuan's hand, the next second...

The sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground was deafening, and Huiyuan's hand remained embedded in the floorboards, completely still.

(Oops, I was careless. The Golden Cudgel weighs a pound.)

That's 6.75 jin, or about 6.75 tons. That's roughly the weight of a standard small truck.

Beneath Lingling's skin, Huiyuan possesses a Strength attribute of 2S level, which naturally allows him to lift a truck.

However, the weight of the Golden Cudgel is condensed into a single point. What does it mean to concentrate such a heavy object in the center of the palm of your hand?

If a tiny bit of gravitational acceleration were applied, the golden cudgel, the size of an ear pick, falling onto Huiyuan's palm might pierce through his hand like a bullet, leaving a bloody hole.

Fortunately, Huiyuan's defense attribute is currently at level 2S, so this situation will not occur.

(If the Golden Cudgel were sized appropriately, it could still be lifted. But swinging it... let's forget about it. An adult couldn't even swing a 1-kilogram iron rod, let alone the Golden Cudgel. It seems the Golden Cudgel is only useful in special circumstances, like... pressing down on something.)

Huiyuan clenched his fist and tried to pull the golden cudgel up by force.

The result was obvious: once his hand was off the ground, he could no longer lift it more than ten centimeters.

At this moment, everyone looked at Huiyuan, who was behaving strangely, with question marks on their faces.

How could someone be walking along like that and suddenly smash the ground?

Noticing the gaze, Huiyuan smiled awkwardly, put the Golden Cudgel into the Eye of God's space, and followed.

(Let's leave the question of how to wield the Golden Cudgel as a weapon for later.)

With that in mind, Huiyuan opened the Mora Shop again.

(So, the second thing I want is... "Mikhail's hat," that's you!)

As the balance decreased by another 1 million Mora, an exquisite hat appeared in Huiyuan's hand.

But... it's just an exquisite hat.

Originally, I thought it would be like the "Metal Bat," carrying a trace of the Star God's power, but I only realized something was wrong after I got my hands on it.

This hat looks ordinary, yet it also looks extraordinary. What's going on? Is the system messing with me again? Is it swallowing my Mora?!

"(Damn system! You're a rip-off! What happened to my Harmonious Fate?! It's not working at all!!!)"

"Host, please calm down. The hat is genuine, and so is the power within it. However, you have not inherited the watchmaker's will, so even if you obtain the hat, you will not be able to use its power. The power of the pioneers is the inheritance of will, and it is not something that just anyone can use."

"(...What we're saying is...how is this will passed down?")

"Host, to put it simply, only by gaining the hat's approval can you be worthy of this hat."

"(Damn system, what you're really saying is, I'm not good enough? Is that it?)"

"Yes. Host, don't be in a hurry. Perhaps in the future, when an opportunity arises, this hat will recognize you. Also, don't call this system a dog. This system also has dignity. If you continue to call me that, I will not design male skins for you in the future."

"(You act like you know how to design things, I'm going to curse you! You piece of junk system!)"

After the words "dog system" were uttered in Huiyuan's mind again, Sister Tongzi stopped responding and did not answer no matter how much Huiyuan called out to her.

It was only then that Huiyuan realized that Sister Tongzi was angry and was about to get serious.

This is no joke; Huiyuan truly has no chance of ever getting male skin again.

"(Sister Tongzi...please don't ignore me! I'm scared! Answer me! Sister Tongzi is unparalleled in beauty and possesses unparalleled intelligence—!)"

After that, no matter what Huiyuan said, Tongzi did not respond at all.

That's how girls are; once they're angry, nothing you do can soothe them.

Wait... can the system be considered a girl?

Huiyuan secretly despaired, knowing that she would never have the chance to get the male skin again.

Just then, the team exploring forward suddenly stopped, because they had come to another room with a familiar layout.

On the altar was a broken object, so badly damaged that it appeared to have developed white rust, as if it had been corroded by salt.

"Is this... a sword?"

Muttering to herself, Wanyan stepped forward and began to observe closely.

"Ah! It's a broken sword! This is the evidence! Proving that the 'Salt Demon God' once rebelled! But it couldn't withstand Morax's wicked hand! Compared to the 'Salt Cup' and the 'Salt Ruler,' this 'sword' must be far more powerful!"
