Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 141: Ch : Granny Shan’s toy stall

Afterward, everyone chatted briefly, reminded each other to stay safe, and then went their separate ways.

Baizhu was heading back to Bubu Pharmacy to look for the list of patients who had come to see him over the past few days.

He planned to visit them one by one to check their health conditions.

As for Hu Tao and Zhongli, they were preparing to handle the funeral arrangements for those who had died unexpectedly.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, planned to stop by Wanmin Restaurant first to see what Xiangling had to say—and whether Guoba had returned.

Next on his agenda was to find out where exactly Shenhe had gone, and also to figure out why the Adepti currently in Liyue Harbor all seemed to have lost their memories.

On the way to Wanmin Restaurant, Chongyun asked:

"If the condition for Ningguang becoming Eerie was the destruction of a cherished antique, then what if we give her a similar item of equal quality or price? Would that restore her to normal?"

Su Yuan nodded and replied, "That's definitely a possibility... or maybe we could try to repair the broken antique."

"Repairing it is out of the question," Yelan said.

"That antique was smashed to pieces. Baiwen and Baixiao already disposed of it as trash a while ago."

"So, what exactly was the broken antique?" Chongyun asked in confusion.

"Apparently, it was a teacup once used by the Geo Archon."

Yelan thought for a moment and said:

"Ningguang has a discerning eye and wouldn't collect counterfeits. That antique teacup must have truly been used by the Geo Archon."

"Though in Liyue's antique market, plenty of people claim that the antiques they sell are related to the Geo Archon, the vast majority of them are fake..."

"Finding another antique teacup that was genuinely used by the Geo Archon will be quite difficult..."

Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully—an antique teacup used by the Geo Archon?

That's supposed to be hard?

Just get a genuine antique teacup; whether it was actually used by the Geo Archon didn't matter...

As long as he poured Zhongli a cup of tea with that antique teacup, and Zhongli drank it—

Then wouldn't both conditions of "antique teacup" and "used by the Geo Archon" be fulfilled?

Maybe, just maybe, that would really bring Ningguang back from her Eerie state...

The group continued on their way and arrived at Chihu Rock in Liyue Harbor.

Various street vendors had gathered here, shouting and calling out to attract customers.

Not far ahead, just past that street, was Wanmin Restaurant.

But at that moment, Su Yuan noticed an elderly woman running a toy stall over there.

On her long table were all kinds of dazzling toys on display...

Many of them were related to the Geo Archon—like dragon-horn spinning tops, geo-block dice, dragon-beard wooden swords, Geo Lord opera masks, and so on.

There were also some toys meant to be played with under adult supervision, like kites, firecrackers, and fireworks, which carried a certain degree of danger...

If Su Yuan remembered correctly, that old lady was called Granny Shan.

She had been running her toy stall in Liyue for many years, and many people had bought toys from her since childhood.

As the years went by, those children had grown up, started families of their own, and now brought their own children here to buy toys... freeweɓnovel.cøm

And despite all those years, even though the cost of making toys had steadily increased, Granny Shan had never raised her prices.

That's why her reputation remained excellent.

What had caught Su Yuan's attention, however, was a particular fishing toy...

In his original world, there were similar kinds of toys...

It was a circular disk with many holes on top, and in each hole was a toy fish.

When the switch was turned on, the disk would begin to rotate, and toy fish would occasionally pop their heads out from the holes and open their mouths.

At that moment, if you placed a fishing hook into the toy fish's mouth, and the fish retracted into the hole again, it would close its mouth and bite down on the hook—then, with a pull, it was as if you'd caught a fish.

What Su Yuan was thinking was this: since the condition for Jiang Xue's eerie transformation was someone disturbing his fishing...

Then wouldn't this toy fishing game count as a kind of alternative fishing?

In an ideal scenario, whenever they had to fight against something eerie, he could just pull out this toy and let Jiang Xue fish anytime and anywhere.

This way, he could leverage Jiang Xue's eerie rules to create an eerie-vs-eerie situation...

Hmm...

Su Yuan nodded to himself.

It was a good idea in theory—but the next problem was, how could he convince Jiang Xue to join his anti-eerie team?

"Um... do any of you have any Mora on you?"

Su Yuan looked toward Yelan and Chongyun, pointed to Granny Shan's toy stall not far ahead, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"I want to go over there and buy a toy..."

After Yelan paid for the fishing toy, Su Yuan gave a brief explanation of his intended use for it.

After hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Chongyun looked at him in admiration and said with emotion:

"Su Yuan, as expected of you—you actually thought of using the rules this way..."

"No, I think this isn't exploiting a loophole," Yelan said.

"It's just making use of the rules within reasonable bounds."

"When dealing with Eerie entities, which are heavily bound by rules, there are basically no true loopholes to exploit..."

When Su Yuan and the others arrived at Wanmin Restaurant, they found only Master Mao busy working—there was no sign of Xiangling.

"Hello, Master Mao! Where's Xiangling? We haven't seen her around,"

Chongyun greeted him and asked.

"Oh? It's you all..."

Master Mao responded while stir-frying a dish:

"Guoba didn't come back last night, and Xiangling went out early this morning to look for him..."

"To be honest, without Xiangling helping out and Guoba tending the fire, I've been having a hard time managing things on my own..."

"Master Mao, do you have any idea where Guoba might've gone? Or where Xiangling might be looking for him?"

Master Mao frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "That's hard to say. Maybe Tianheng Mountain, or maybe Qingce Village..."

"Su Yuan, since the search area is too big, I'll mobilize my informants to help look,"

Yelan looked at Su Yuan and said:

"For now, let's focus on resolving Ningguang's situation first."

"Let's head to the antique market later and see if we can find an antique teacup once used by the Geo Archon."

Su Yuan nodded.

For now, that seemed to be the only way...

If they could help Ningguang recover from her eerie transformation, having her support would make handling everything else go much more smoothly...

Just as Su Yuan and the others were preparing to head to the antique market, someone in the distance slowly began walking toward them...

Chongyun seemed to sense something—like a kind of telepathic connection—and lifted his head to look into the distance...

And the person approaching... was Xingqiu.
