Ch 123: Cloud Retainer: That Darn Hu Tao!
In Tivat.
At Hu Tao’s invitation, Silver Wolf, Ye Yun, Jizi, Clara, and Walther were helping Hu Tao assemble a machine.
Jing Yuan and Zhongli were setting up a tea stall at the doorway, preventing outsiders from entering.
Nahida watched quietly from the side; she had already learned what a computer was yesterday.
She felt that a computer was somewhat similar to the virtual “void”.
At this time, a voice interrupted Nahida’s thoughts.
“Nahida, watch and learn carefully. When we move to a new planet, you’ll be in charge of the network aspect.”
Asmodeus patted Nahida’s shoulder, speaking earnestly.
After speaking, Asmodeus walked upstairs.
She had come to this building out of boredom and found a wonderful room.
This room was on the top floor; it wasn’t very large, only about 30 square meters.
Asmodeus planned to transform it into her own private room, placing a computer and a bed inside.
When tired of playing, she could sleep—blissful!
Nahida had been watching Ye Yun and the others install the computer, eager to try it herself.
When she saw Dan Heng about to modify a blade, she thought of helping him get it.
Before she could act, Walther on the side readily handed it to Dan Heng.
Nahida sighed softly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Ye Yun noticed this from the side.
“Your name is Nahida, right?”
Nahida looked up at Ye Yun and smiled slightly.
“Hello, my name is Nahida, and yours?” Nahida tilted her head, her large eyes curiously looking at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun smiled.
“My name is Ye Yun. I see you’ve been watching for a long time. Would you like to try it yourself?”
Nahida was pleasantly surprised.
“May I try?”
Ye Yun brought over an unassembled computer.
“Come, I’ll take you to try it.”
Nahida happily followed behind Ye Yun.
They came to an empty table, and Ye Yun began to teach Nahida how to assemble a computer.
Nahida listened very attentively, asking questions about anything she didn’t understand, and Ye Yun would explain them one by one.
After explaining once, Ye Yun brought another computer for Nahida to assemble and play with on her own.
Nahida received the computer happily and immediately began studying it.
This scene made Cloud Retainer, who had been watching the fun for a long time, envious!
She also wanted to play with this thing! This is a clever device from another world!
Poor Cloud Retainer was forbidden by Hu Tao from touching any computer.
Cloud Retainer was dissatisfied at the time and asked why she wasn’t allowed to play!
In response, Hu Tao brought out her flying motorcycle.
You! Cloud Retainer has a prior record!
Seeing the flying motorcycle, Cloud Retainer was speechless and could only watch from the sidelines.
Seeing Nahida able to study this thing called a computer, Cloud Retainer felt incredibly envious.
Next to the building was a branch of the Northland Bank.
The Young Master and the Madam watched the bustling construction site from the overpass.
Especially the few stars who came to join the fun; today, Hu Tao even went to Mondstadt to invite Eula and Amber to play.
Mondstadt is now peaceful and prosperous; it’s easy for the two to take a day off.
The Madam was puzzled by the Young Master’s gaze at the stars.
“Why are you staring at those little girls?”
The Young Master chuckled wryly and pointed to Xing.
“See that Little Grey Fur? She was the one who instantly killed me with one sword.”
The moment the Young Master pointed at Xing, Xing sensed it and looked towards him.
Seeing it was the Young Master, Xing waved a greeting.
The Young Master nodded in response.
The Madam looked at the Young Master in disbelief.
“No way? That little girl? So young?”
The Young Master said,
“It’s true. The battle at sea a few days ago was probably also her doing; the moves were very similar.”
Hearing this, the Madam looked at Xing. This little girl is so powerful?
On second thought, the person who easily defeated her was also a little girl.
The Madam shook her head secretly. What kind of monsters are in Liyue?
Fortunately, they received an order from the Queen to stop collecting Gnosis.
The Ice God, sensing something wrong with Liyue, also left the Young Master and Madam in Liyue.
Because Liyue will be the first kingdom to relocate.
The Ice God needs the Young Master and Madam’s eyes to see clearly how Liyue operates.
The Young Master looked at the busy people below.
“Let’s go down and have a look.”
The Madam looked at the Young Master like he was an idiot.
“You’re a Fatui; will others welcome you? I advise you not to go and seek trouble.”
The Young Master scoffed.
“I’m a Fatui, but I’m also a VIP customer of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Internet Cafe.”
Saying this, the Young Master got up and walked down.
The Madam glanced at the Young Master and returned to the Northland Bank.
Upon arriving at the scene, Xing quickly noticed the Young Master.
“Long time no see, defeated subordinate.” Xing looked at the Young Master with a mischievous grin.
The Young Master was unhappy to hear this, but he indeed wasn’t a match for this Little Grey Fur.
“Long time no see. I heard the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Internet Cafe is expanding?”
Xing nodded and pointed to the building behind her.
“Yes, this building will be transformed into an internet cafe. Speaking of which, have you ever played here?”
The Young Master smiled.
“Of course, I’m a VIP customer. Speaking of which, I’ve never seen you at the internet cafe before, even though you’re close with Hall Master Hu.”
Xing explained,
“I’m not from this world, so it’s not unusual for me not to come here. Besides, computers are commonplace in my world.”
Upon hearing this, the Young Master didn’t expect to have already encountered people from other worlds so quickly.
No wonder the other party is so strong; they are from another world.
At this time, Hu Tao set up a table and invited Xing to play a few rounds of Diyuan Qiongyu.
Seeing this, Xing bid farewell to the Young Master.
“Okay, I’ll talk to you later. I’m going to play Diyuan Qiongyu. See you later.”
Xing dashed into the room and sat at the table.
“How much are we playing for today?”
While shuffling the cards, another person said,
“Same as yesterday? 1 Star Coin as the base, capped at 5 Star Coins.”
March 7th wanted to lower the stakes.
“Should we lower it again? Yesterday, Qingque won over 1300 Star Coins from us.”
Xing said indifferently,
“Let’s just play for 1 Star Coin. The smallest denomination of Star Coins is 1, there’s no smaller amount to pay.”
March 7th said, “Oh, right. I forgot. The smallest denomination of Star Coins is 1.”
After confirming the base price and cap, March 7th, Xing, another person, and Hu Tao started playing Mahjong.
Amber and Eula watched for a while to learn, and they would rotate onto the table once they got the hang of it.
Seeing this, the Young Master could only return to the Northland Bank; the building was still under renovation, so he couldn’t go inside.
This scene of them playing Mahjong was witnessed by Asmodeus as she came down from the stairs.
Asmodeus approached to take a closer look.
“Hu Tao, what game are you playing?”
Seeing someone approaching, the person organizing their hand looked up and instantly drew their sword.
“It’s you!”
