Chapter 229: The Return of Sora
Chapter 229: The Return of Sora
The sun rises slowly from the east, dispelling the darkness of the long night bit by bit, bringing brilliant light and warmth to the world.
Lin Yide stood up from his seat, intending to go wash up and greet the new day with a refreshed attitude.
Just at this moment, Sora and Paimon walked into the store, both looking a little tired.
Their arrival was like a gust of wind, bringing in the dust and smell from outside.
Kong saw Lin Yide at a glance. He walked over quickly and said in a positive tone: "You are actually Yide, the owner of the West Factory!"
Lin Yide was not surprised that Kong guessed his identity.
Dei and Ide, these two names themselves are easy to evoke associations.
If you know a little more about Ide, you can naturally guess that the owner of Dove Coffee Shop, Dei, is Ide.
Lin Yide nodded and said frankly: "You know, due to some of my past actions, I am not a popular person, so I need to hide my identity."
Sora understood.
After all, who in this world would be willing to have too much contact with a butcher whose hands are stained with blood?
Then, Kong couldn't wait to ask: "Master Yide, can you explain to me why Ying became the Princess of the Abyss? Also, what happened in Kanreya five hundred years ago?"
Lin Yide was silent for a while, then slowly said: “Kong, I am still looking for answers to many things.
But I know that at the end of the journey, you will know everything, witness everything and change everything."
Paimon listened to this from the side, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "It's the same as saying nothing. I hate you riddlers the most. You clearly know the answer, but you still keep it mysterious and make people feel itchy."
Lin Yide showed a helpless smile, "Paimon, I am not hiding it on purpose, but I really don't know the exact answers to these questions."
He paused for a moment, then suggested, "How about I treat you to breakfast today?"
When Paimon heard about the free breakfast, his face lit up immediately, and his smile blossomed like a flower, "Ide, since you are so generous, I won't give you a nickname."
"Thank you for the emergency food." Lin Yide said with a smile.
"I'm not emergency food!" Paimon stamped his feet in anger, "I must think of a very ugly nickname for you."
Lin Yide shrugged easily, "Okay, I'll wait for your 'masterpiece'. But now, let's go enjoy breakfast first."
He then brought Sora and Paimon to a teahouse, and in a quiet corner, found Zhongli sitting alone at a table, leisurely savoring his morning tea.
Seeing them approaching, Zhongli gently put down the teacup in his hand and nodded in greeting: "Long time no see, Traveler, Paimon, and Shopkeeper Dei."
Lin Yide immediately sat opposite him and said in a tone of complaint: "Guest Zhongli, the Lifeng joint venture is facing many difficulties. Can't you send down an oracle to let those profit-seeking businessmen cooperate with our work?"
Zhongli responded calmly: "This kind of question should be no problem for you."
Indeed, for Lin Yide, such problems are not difficult to solve. He has many ways to deal with those tricky businessmen, but he does not want to spend too much energy on these trivial matters.
At this moment, his gaze turned to Kong, who had just sat down, and an idea flashed in his mind.
He coughed lightly and said to Kong: "Kong, I have a difficult matter that I would like to ask you to help me with."
Sora didn't even ask what the trouble was, but directly asked, "What's the reward?"
Lin Yide then took out a stack of unopened card packs from the system space and placed them on the table. "Are these enough as rewards?"
"That's enough." Kong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the card packs excitedly. "Tell me, what's the trouble?"
Lin Yide smiled and signaled him to be patient, "Don't worry, we can talk while eating breakfast."
He immediately called the waiter and ordered a sumptuous breakfast.
While enjoying breakfast, he described in detail how some factory owners in the Lifeng joint venture took the opportunity to ask for exorbitant prices.
After hearing this, Zhongli commented objectively: “From the perspective of universal rationality, this is indeed a very tricky matter.
If we accept their high price, it will be obviously unfair to the factory owners who have previously cooperated with Lifeng in the joint venture. "
Kong felt a bit of a headache. He was good at fighting, but this was his first time dealing with such a problem. At this moment, he regretted accepting this mission.
Fortunately, Zhongli gave timely advice: "Traveler, you can go find Yanfei. She is very good at dealing with this kind of problem and should be able to provide you with a lot of help."
"Yan Fei?" Kong asked doubtfully, "Who is she?"
Zhongli explained slowly: "She is a well-known legal consultant in Liyue. No one knows how to use contracts and legal rules better than her."
"Thank you!" Sora said gratefully.
Afterwards, Kong couldn't wait to open the card pack he had just obtained.
This action immediately attracted the attention of many customers, and they all gathered around to watch.
Sora's luck is obviously much better than his sister Ying's.
Not only did he draw out several precious rare cards, but even more amazingly, he actually drew out an extremely rare Demon Card - Lord Rudra.
The customers around all showed envy, because the value of this Demon Card was enough to buy a property in Fude Port.
After opening the card pack, Kong felt happier. He left the teahouse with Paimon and went to look for Yan Fei.
After Kong left, Zhongli turned to Lin Yide and invited him, "How about a few games of Seven Sacred Yu-Gi-Oh?"
Lin Yide refused without hesitation, "No, I don't want to be tortured by you again."
Zhongli assured him solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't use the previous all-member defense tactics this time. I will take the initiative to attack."
After hearing such a promise, Lin Yide felt a little relieved, so he took out his deck and prepared to fight Zhongli.
However, he soon regretted it because Zhongli adopted a more difficult variant and upgraded shield-milk strategy.
And what Zhongli called "taking the initiative to attack" actually meant that after True Lord Jiuku Du'e restored health for the whole team, he used the small sword to make a weak attack.
After four hours of fighting, the health of Lin Yide's character cards on the field was finally exhausted.
When he walked out of the tea pavilion, he felt like Barbara touching the electric switch - numb.
Lin Yide secretly swore in his heart that he would never play Yu-Gi-Oh with Zhongli again.
