Chapter 21

Hearing Chef Mao’s words, Lin Mo nodded gently: "Whether it’s Qingxin or Violetgrass, the places where they grow are very harsh."

"If you want to buy Qingxin and Violetgrass, it’s cheaper to go to Bubu Pharmacy to buy them."

The next second, Chef Mao thought for a moment and said: "Don't go to the market to buy them; in Liyue, only Bubu Pharmacy sells Violetgrass and Qingxin cheaper."

"Understood."

Hearing Chef Mao’s words, Lin Mo nodded and said: "Chef Mao, leave me ten bowls of Jade Fruit Soup tomorrow; I’ll come to get them. It’s mainly because I need to drink some when I’m standing guard at Yaoguang Shoal, and I also need to give some to people."

"As for the money, I’ll pay you five thousand Mora first."

Now, he only had about six thousand Mora left on him.

"Hehe, that’s no problem."

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Chef Mao immediately said with a laugh: "Actually, you can also run a tab first; my Wanmin Restaurant can afford the expenses of a Millelith, and you can make it up to me when you get your salary."

For Lin Mo, Chef Mao also understood.

A young man with very powerful swordsmanship who also liked to eat and drink at his Wanmin Restaurant.

His age was also about the same as Xiangling’s.

Plus, this person had just arrived in Liyue, so Chef Mao just wanted to take care of Lin Mo.

"Thank you in advance, Chef Mao."

Hearing Chef Mao’s words, Lin Mo smiled lightly.

Lin Mo didn't expect Chef Mao to be so enthusiastic.

If it were an average person, they wouldn't be like this.

After chatting simply with Chef Mao and pre-ordering the Jade Fruit Soup for tomorrow.

Lin Mo left Wanmin Restaurant with Wen Qi and the others and continued to patrol the area outside Liyue City near Yaoguang Shoal.

While patrolling, the strange sound came out intermittently from a distant place again.

"I don't know what kind of madness the Hilichurls or Mitachurls have been having lately, blowing these horns in the middle of the night."

Hearing this sound, Wen Qi sighed: "We need to be careful these next few days; the Lantern Rite is approaching, and we can't have any mishaps."

"If I have time tomorrow, I’ll go take a look."

Hearing Wen Qi’s words, Lin Mo nodded gently.

With this strange sound appearing one after another, Lin Mo felt that he had to go to the scene to take a look.

However, it was night now, and it wasn't convenient to act; if he had time tomorrow, he could go take a look.

Immediately, Lin Mo continued his sword practice, applied the medicinal plaster Bai Lu had prepared, and went back to training.

It was not until 11:00 PM that Lin Mo finally stopped.

Then, he left the Sea of Clouds with Wen Qi and returned to Liyue Harbor.

This time, no strange sounds rang out.

He returned to his living quarters to sleep, and the night passed without incident.

The next day.

Liyue Harbor was once again brimming with new vitality. After waking up, Lin Mo washed up briefly and headed to Wanmin Restaurant.

Upon arriving at Wanmin Restaurant, Lin Mo bought steamed buns and fried dough sticks as usual.

"Lin Mo, here is the Jade Fruit Soup you wanted, ten bowls."

Chef Mao handed the packed Jade Fruit Soup to Lin Mo with a cheerful smile.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Hearing Chef Mao, Lin Mo nodded.

"My god, this Millelith soldier is amazing, he actually bought twenty bowls of Jade Fruit Soup."

"Uh, although Jade Fruit Soup is delicious, wouldn't you get sick of it if you drank that much?"

"Is there a possibility that this Millelith soldier is buying it for other Millelith soldiers to take with them?"

"This young Millelith soldier is so young, and he's also very handsome."

"Eh? You're right."

Even though it was only morning, there were still many people at Wanmin Restaurant.

Whether they were eating breakfast inside the shop or queuing to buy food, everyone witnessed this scene.

When they saw a Millelith soldier take the packed Jade Fruit Soup, they were immediately surprised and began to discuss it.

As they talked, they started discussing Lin Mo's appearance.

After taking the Jade Fruit Soup, Lin Mo left Wanmin Restaurant and headed toward the Sea of Clouds.

As Lin Mo walked, he discovered that even the recent discussion had increased his influence.

On the virtual panel, notifications of increased influence kept popping up.

[Your actions have attracted the attention of others, Influence +1.]

[Your actions have caused others to discuss you, Influence +2.]

"Hmm?"

When he reached the Sea of Clouds, Lin Mo suddenly looked at the notification on his virtual panel, his expression dawning with realization: "So, one thousand influence points can be converted into one Influence Point."

Seeing the Influence Point appear on his panel, both Lin Mo's face and eyes showed a look of understanding.

So, one thousand influence points could become one Influence Point; it was exactly as he had thought!

Name: Lin Mo.

Age: 18

Ability: Swordsmanship (Yanqing)

Influence: 6

Influence Points: 1

"In that case, ten Influence Points doesn't seem impossible to reach quickly."

"After all, if the Jade Fruit Soup is promoted rapidly by Bai Lu, then the increase in influence should allow me to accumulate ten points before long."

Thinking of this, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

If he wanted to gain influence quickly, he had to start with the Jade Fruit Soup.

For a moment, Lin Mo couldn't help but look forward to noon arriving quickly so he could return to the Luofu and have the Jade Fruit Soup sold at the Alchemy Commission.

This was what he would rely on for his rapid increase in influence from now on.

When the time came, he would be able to replicate Bai Lu's technique ability in one go.

For a time, Lin Mo practiced his sword training even more diligently.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Feeling that he could return to the Luofu, Lin Mo did not hesitate and decisively chose to return.

In an instant.

Lin Mo disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in his home.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

As soon as he appeared at home, his phone connected to the network and vibrated frantically.

Lin Mo took a look and found it was a message from Bai Lu.

A glance showed 99+ notifications.

Lin Mo: "..."

Seeing the messages Bai Lu had sent, the corner of Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

What was this little dragon girl sending so many messages about so diligently?

He tapped to take a look.

Lin Mo discovered that besides sending the contract, Bai Lu was just asking when she could get the Jade Fruit Soup.

Immediately, Lin Mo replied: "I just got back and saw my phone. I have ten bowls of Jade Fruit Soup on hand right now."

"That's great! I'll have my maid go get them right now." ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
