Chapter 252

~7 min read 1,212 words

Miss Qingque: "It's clear that you both have an unusual obsession with things like treasure chests."

Miss Qingque: "It really feels like you're from the same family."

Stelle: "I only have two hobbies: one is rummaging through trash cans, and the other is opening all kinds of treasure chests!"

Lumine: "Uh... I don't have a hobby of rummaging through trash cans."

Lumine: "Speaking of which, there aren't many trash cans in Teyvat, right?"

Stelle: "That's truly a pity."

The video continues.

Firefly continued to follow the navigation's guidance,

and after a while,

finally arrived at Ms. Bonajade's room.

【Welcome to the Bonajade Exchange, Radiant Feldspar branch.】

【How should I address you, miss?】

Jade, who was in the room,

saw Firefly arrive

and welcomed her.

【Just call me Sam.】

Firefly said her fake name.

【Sam, a very good name.】

【So, Miss Sam, what do you want?】

【And what are you willing to pay for it?】

Jade asked with a smile.

【.....】

【I want to live.】

【For this wish, I am willing to mortgage everything I have.】

Furina: "Ah, this... this wish..."

Furina: "It's so heartbreaking!"

Hu Tao: "So Miss Firefly went to the Bonajade Exchange to fulfill her wish to live?"

Hu Tao: "But... Ms. Jade might not be able to do it, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Whether she can do it or not, you have to try."

Miss Qingque: "Miss Firefly must have gone with that thought in mind."

Stelle: "Wuwuwu, my Firefly!"

Stelle: "How can her illness be cured?"

March 7th: "I want to know too!!"

March 7th: "The universe is so big, is there really no one who can cure Miss Firefly?"

Stelle: "Miss Bailu, do you have any way?"

Miss Bailu: "No."

Miss Bailu: "I haven't studied this Entropy Loss Syndrome before."

Miss Bailu: "But judging by the symptoms, it doesn't look like a common difficult or complicated disease."

General Feixiao: "Seeing Jiaoqiu."

General Feixiao: "What do you think?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "General, in my opinion, eating more hot pot won't help with this illness."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "My suggestion is... just relax, eat what you want, drink what you want, and play what you want."

March 7th: "???"

March 7th: "Why did it get linked to hot pot?"

Miss Lingsha: "That's because he is also a physician."

Miss Lingsha: "And he specializes in dietary therapy."

Hu Tao: "Eh?"

Hu Tao: "Who is this Miss Miss Lingsha?"

Hu Tao: "She hasn't appeared before, right?"

Miss Lingsha: "Yes, I've been lurking until now."

Miss Yunli: "Sister Miss Lingsha, you're also a physician; are you confident in treating Miss Firefly?"

Miss Lingsha: "Unfortunately, I know very little about this illness."

Paimon: "Hm... why is it like this..."

Paimon: "Everyone actually has no way to treat Miss Firefly."

Firefly: "It's okay, I already expected this."

Firefly: "However, I might be able to gain something here at Ms. Jade's."

The video continues.

【Everything you have?】

Jade said in surprise.

【Yes, everything.】

Firefly nodded.

【Miss Sam, please go back.】

【I think you don't understand the definition of a mortgage well enough.】

Jade suddenly turned her back,

and told Firefly to leave.

【What do you mean?】

Firefly frowned slightly.

【I mean exactly what I said.】

【I can feel your intense desire to live; it's as scorching as a flame.】

【But in contrast, you have no collateral of equal value to offer.】

Jade explained.

Stelle: "Ha? No collateral of equal value?"

Stelle: "Firefly is a Stellaron Hunter, how can she not have good things on her?"

Stelle: "Silver Wolf, are you Stellaron Hunters that poor?"

Silver Wolf: "What do you mean we're poor?"

Silver Wolf: "It's clearly that Jade is implying something else."

Guinaifen: "Could this be an excuse Ms. Jade made up because she can't fulfill this wish?"

Miss Qingque: "I think it's very likely."

Jade: "Hehe, this is not an excuse, but a statement of fact."

Jade: "Miss Firefly's wish to live is indeed very scorching."

Jade: "And she is also willing to mortgage everything she has."

Jade: "But the problem is, she really doesn't have any collateral of equal value right now."

Firefly: "Ms. Jade, what do you mean by collateral of equal value?"

Jade: "Hm... you'll need to find that answer yourself."

Jade: "I believe you will understand, Miss Firefly."

The video continues.

【Heh... I see.】

【As expected, a pawnshop that can fulfill wishes through mortgages... is just a bluff.】

A look of deep disappointment appeared on Firefly's face.

【A very harsh accusation; it's normal that you don't understand.】

【But it doesn't matter, I will help you see clearly.】

【Go find these people; they have all patronized my pawnshop.】

【Use your eyes to witness and see if their wishes have been fulfilled.】

【Then, come back to me; I will let you understand what a mortgage means, and I will also let you understand what you are still missing.】

Furina: "As expected, Ms. Jade's business has been open for a while."

Furina: "She has already received several clients."

Boothill: "Damn it, there are actually people who patronize a place that's like a scam?"

Miss Qingque: "You say that, but the more such places there are, the more people go, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Even though many people know in their hearts that it's unrealistic."

Miss Qingque: "But they will definitely think in their hearts, what if it's true?"

Jade: "Please don't confuse my pawnshop with ordinary scams."

Jade: "What I advocate here is exchange; you pay something, and I will give you a return."

Jade: "And this is not omnipotent."

March 7th: "So, did Ms. Jade really help those people fulfill their wishes?"

March 7th: "What means did she use?"

Stelle: "Tsk, you'll know if you keep watching."

Stelle: "Firefly is about to go find them."

The video continues.

【Rather than a proprietress of a pawnshop, Ms. Bonajade's temperament... is more like a lender.】

【Anyway, I have nothing else to do for now, so I'll just look around as she said.】

Firefly walked out of Jade's room,

ready to find the people Jade mentioned to take a look.

After a while,

she walked from the room corridor to the hall,

but saw Stelle not far away again.

At this moment, Stelle was with Dan Heng,

staying in front of a pile of balloons.

【Which one should I pop?】

【One, two, three, four, five...】

【Dan Heng hits the Voidranger...】

Stelle was struggling,

muttering to herself.

【Don't change the lyrics without permission.】

Dan Heng held his forehead speechlessly.

March 7th: "Hahahahaha!"

March 7th: "One, two, three, four, five, Dan Heng hits the Voidranger?"

March 7th: "Hahaha, it's killing me!"

Dan Heng: "...."

Furina: "Pfft!"

Furina: "It's really funny!"

Stelle: "Oh my, it really is me!"

Stelle: "I was actually able to think of such a smooth and coherent sentence!"

Stelle: "So... among these balloons, which one should I pop?"

Stelle: "I'm so conflicted!"

Silver Wolf: "You're already muttering this, what are you conflicted about?"

Silver Wolf: "Whoever the 'ranger' falls on, just pop that one."

Stelle: "That makes sense."

Stelle: "Then I'll reluctantly pop them all!"

Lumine: "Hehe, that's what I was thinking too."

The video continues.

Firefly didn't go up to disturb Stelle this time either,

she smiled knowingly as she looked at Stelle's back,

and turned to continue looking for the target Jade mentioned.

After a while,
