There were seven days left until the Rite of Descension.
According to what Neo knew, Xiangling had already returned from Mondstadt.
After talking with her for a few words, Neo confirmed that the Traveler would also be coming to Liyue soon.
These seven days would also be Neo’s final preparation time.
Neo now had two choices.
The first was to go directly to the Liyue Qixing and tell them that the Fatui planned to release the Archon in the sea, allowing them to take precautions in advance.
Doing this would indeed resolve Liyue’s initial crisis, but it would be no different from stabbing Tartaglia in the back.
After all, on the surface, Tartaglia had trusted Neo enough to tell him this information.
And once the Liyue Qixing learned of this plan, they definitely wouldn’t only take precautions at sea.
They would certainly launch a heavy attack against the Fatui.
The second choice was to find another way himself and have Liyue Harbor temporarily close the harbor before the Rite of Descension.
But this would be extremely difficult.
As Liyue’s annual ceremony, the Rite of Descension would naturally attract many foreigners to come and watch.
Closing the harbor would probably cause chaos.
Moreover, closing Liyue Harbor would cause huge economic losses.
Without knowing about the Archon crisis, the Liyue Qixing probably wouldn’t be willing to do this.
After all, they were essentially the seven biggest merchants.
Therefore, Neo could only rank the two choices.
If the latter didn’t work, he would consider the former.
And since the Liyue Qixing probably wouldn’t be willing to close the harbor without knowing about the Archon crisis, Neo could only turn his attention to another person.
‘Why are the Qingxin I just bought at Bubu Pharmacy yesterday already gone?
I clearly only ate one… Could it, could it be that someone broke into Yujing Terrace and stole them?’
‘But I’m so hungry.
Maybe I should buy some more while I’m on the way…’
Outside Yujing Terrace, a blue-haired girl with horns on her head and a golden bell on her chest walked out, covering her stomach as she hesitated in her heart.
“Hello, miss over there. Could you help me take a photo?”
Just as the girl was struggling with her thoughts, someone suddenly called out to her.
The girl raised her head in confusion and found a black-haired boy in the distance waving a Camera at her.
“Huh? Are you calling me…”
“Y-yes, I can. How should I do it?”
The girl was startled, but still agreed.
She naturally knew what a Camera was.
Recently, quite a few foreign tourists had been carrying Cameras around and taking photos everywhere.
Seeing the girl walk over, Neo handed her the Camera and pointed out where he wanted to take the photo, explaining it to her.
Since he didn’t know whether she knew how to use a Camera, Neo also explained how to operate it.
“…”
Click!
Click!
Looking at Neo’s strange standing pose that he had deliberately struck, the girl was stunned for a moment before pressing the shutter a few times.
“Let me see, let me see. Hmm… sure enough, this pose is a little difficult to imitate, but it’s still pretty good.”
Looking at the photos of himself standing in extremely exaggerated poses, Neo nodded in satisfaction.
“Thanks for your help, miss. You took them very well.”
Neo then put away the Camera and thanked the blue-haired girl.
“Ah, no need to thank me. It was nothing…”, The girl waved her hand in response.
After helping Neo, she turned around and planned to leave Yujing Terrace and continue toward Bubu Pharmacy.
Neo also needed to go down from Yujing Terrace after taking the photos, so the two happened to be going the same way.
However, Neo didn’t talk to her for the time being.
Instead, he first looked through the photos taken by the Camera, choosing which ones had turned out well enough to send to Snezhnaya.
“By the way, may I ask if there’s a pharmacy around here?”
Just as they were walking down the steps of Yujing Terrace, Neo thought of something and turned around to ask the girl.
“If you mean a pharmacy, Bubu Pharmacy is right over there. Are you injured?”
Hearing this, the girl raised her hand and pointed toward Bubu Pharmacy across from the steps of Yujing Terrace, then asked him.
“Hehe, I think I might have twisted my waist while posing for a JoJo pose just now…”
Neo rubbed his waist and smiled awkwardly.
He really had twisted it a little.
After all, some of the poses he had just struck were a little inhuman, and he hadn’t activated Rules of Survival in the Snow so it hadn’t healed on its own.
“Huh? That’s not a minor injury. How about I help you over there?”
Hearing that Neo had twisted his waist, the girl finally realized it.
After carefully looking at Neo’s waist, she immediately made the suggestion.
With her abilities, she could tell that Neo really had twisted his waist.
Although it wasn’t serious, he still couldn’t just leave it untreated.
“No, no, I can still walk!”
Neo waved his hands hurriedly, seeming embarrassed, then quickly walked toward Bubu Pharmacy as if he were running away.
The girl had already intended to go to Bubu Pharmacy anyway, so she simply followed him.
Inside Bubu Pharmacy, a cute little purple-haired zombie was lying with her upper body on the counter.
Hearing that someone seemed to have entered through the door, she immediately got down from the counter.
Since she was not even as tall as the counter, she instantly “disappeared.”
“?”
After entering Bubu Pharmacy, Neo looked around.
Seeing no one, he thought of something and walked directly to the counter.
After getting closer, he indeed saw the little zombie behind the counter, who wasn’t even as tall as it.
At this moment, the blue-haired girl with horns also followed him into Bubu Pharmacy.
“This is your first time at Bubu Pharmacy, right? Qiqi probably thinks that lying on the table while talking to customers is impolite, so whenever a customer comes, she stands behind the counter.”
Noticing that Neo had already discovered the little zombie behind the counter, the girl explained and also told Neo the little zombie’s name.
Although Neo actually knew all of this, including that the blue-haired girl’s name was Ganyu.
But it was the same problem.
If someone didn’t tell him their name, it would be difficult for him to explain how he knew it, so he simply pretended not to know.
“Mm…”
“No, it was Changsheng who told Qiqi.”
“Girls… can’t… get on… the table.”
Hearing Ganyu’s explanation to Neo, Qiqi put both hands on the table again, using them to peek her head out from behind the counter and explain.
“What? What kind of outdated rule is this? Why can’t girls get on the table?”
Neo raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
As a transmigrator, he had never heard of such a rule.
“Um… I think you’ve misunderstood…”, Ganyu tried to explain something from the side.
“Oh! Then Qiqi, can, get on the table?”
Hearing Neo’s words, Qiqi, who had both hands on the tabletop, immediately asked him.
“Of course you can. Why can’t girls get on the table?”, Neo answered firmly.
“Great, Qiqi, can get on the table…”
Then Qiqi supported herself with both hands on the table and raised one leg from the side, placing it on the tabletop.
Under Neo’s stunned gaze, Qiqi successfully climbed onto the counter and stood up on it.
“…”
Looking at Qiqi standing on the counter, Neo fell silent.
‘Oh no!
Girls really can’t get on the table!’
