The Fungi Beast Sightseeing Park on the outskirts of the city was a place where scholars could observe the habits of Fungi Beasts up close, saving them both the wasted ti of field observation and the risk of life-threatening danger.
"Oh, Skirk, why are you here?"
"I recently gathered so monster drops. I'm planning to exchange them with Dori for so Mora."
Skirk showed them what she had brought. Any monster capable of being selected by her was at least on the level of hilichurls.
Everything she collected would be traded with Dori, because her impression of Dori was quite good. She was a clever rchant who knew what she should ask and what she should not ask.
Working with soone like that was very easy. As for the matter of price, Skirk did not care. As long as she had enough Mora to use, that was fine.
"Then let's go together," Koji said to Rukkhadevata.
Rukkhadevata had no objections, and Skirk did not have any either. They were all acquaintances, so going together was going together.
On the way, Koji and Rukkhadevata chatted idly. Skirk would occasionally add a word or two.
"Rukkhadevata, why did all of you agree to use Mora as currency back then?" Koji was a little curious about how Zhongli had convinced the other nations.
During the Archon War, there were countless types of currencies, making trade extrely troubleso.
"Unifying the currency was beneficial to every nation. Besides that, Morax was very strong."
Although Rukkhadevata did not explain in detail, that final sentence was already enough for people to understand. A strong fist was the final truth.
Morax's performance during the Archon War had been far too fierce. Who would refuse to give him face? So there had not been any twists and turns.
…
My na is Dori. I am an ordinary little rchant. A being like a god should have nothing to do with . And today, the faith of all Suru, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, appeared before .
Trembling with reverence. Deeply terrified. What virtue or ability did I have to deserve this?
"Rukkhadevata-sama, why have you co to this humble one's place?" Dori rubbed her hands together. Surely she had not done sothing illegal, right?
She could no longer rember how many tis she had danced along the edge of the law.
"No need to be so afraid. I generally do not interfere in matters handled by the Matra," Rukkhadevata said with a slight smile.
According to the records in the Akasha Terminal, this Dori was a very wealthy major rchant. The things she did were not exactly heinous, but quite a few were not proper business either. For example, she had even sold Canned Knowledge before.
However, none of that was too serious. Dori still had her own bottom line.
"Skirk, why did you bring Rukkhadevata-sama here?" Dori let out a sigh of relief, then imdiately started complaining to Skirk.
"What is wrong? Are you afraid of eting a god?" Skirk asked in confusion.
Dori was speechless. It was not exactly fear, but reverence. Who would not feel nervous when eting a god face to face?
"These are the items I want to trade with you this ti," Skirk said.
"Let see… Heh, these are all good things." Dori nodded in satisfaction.
This sowhat cold woman was very strong. Every ti, she could bring things that were usually hard to obtain.
"Here is your Mora."
Dori took out a bag of Mora. Koji looked it over and said, "The amount of Mora in this bag doesn't look right. Dori, how did you calculate this?"
Dori really was pitifully shady. Just looking at the Mora, there clearly was not much of it. It simply did not match the value of those materials.
"It does not matter. As long as it is enough to use," Skirk said, shaking her head.
She had long known that Dori had not given her the proper price.
"Exactly. Even she doesn't care, so why are you ddling so much?" Dori planted her hands on her hips and said it with complete confidence.
Business was all about mutual willingness. If both the buyer and seller had no objections, then there was no problem.
"Skirk, you really are careless. You can actually accept such an unequal transaction."
"How am I a profiteer? Rukkhadevata-sama is right here. You cannot slander in front of her."
Dori did not like being called a profiteer. She could be called a clever rchant.
"Rukkhadevata is one of my people. Do you think she would speak for you?" Koji said playfully.
The corner of Dori's mouth twitched. Fine. Nothing to say. Having a god as a partner really was incredible.
Dori raised her thumb and said, "Your guess was really accurate. The things Lady Alice left behind really did include bombs, and quite a lot of them too."
Because the bombs were far too powerful, she could not easily sell them either. If sothing went wrong, it would very likely implicate her.
"Alice is a professional when it cos to playing with bombs. Of course she has plenty of bombs on her."
Rukkhadevata cut in, "If they are Alice's bombs, please handle them properly."
"I know. I haven't sold anything with too much destructive power," Dori said, patting her chest.
Although she was a rchant, she was still a rchant with a conscience.
"Skirk, is there anything you want? I have many interesting things here," Dori began promoting her goods.
"Give so things I can actually use."
Skirk said it casually. Since Dori had already spoken up, she naturally would not refuse.
"No problem. I'll go back and look for them right now. Wait here for a mont," Dori said.
Dori vanished in a flash. Koji ca to one conclusion: perhaps the shorter the legs, the faster they ran. Lolis all seed to run very fast.
"Skirk, how long have you known Dori?"
"A few years. When I first ca to Teyvat, Alice told I could look for Dori to trade for Mora," Skirk thought for a mont and said.
She had not kept track of that ti. Working with Dori was extrely simple. Hand over the goods, receive the money. Clean and straightforward.
"I'm back. These are all things that can be used in the wild."
Dori ca running back while carrying a pile of things. Koji's eyes widened. She really had found quite a lot.
"Thank you."
Skirk casually put them away. These things were not bad. They could be used.
"No need to be polite. If you have anything good in the future, you can bring it all to to sell," Dori said.
Skirk nodded. In any case, many of those things were not useful to her, so giving them to Dori was fine too.
"Dori, how did you handle those Canned Knowledge capsules of yours?" Koji suddenly asked.
"Rukkhadevata-sama, why did you ban all Canned Knowledge? Since that kind of thing is useful, shouldn't it be used?"
Those Canned Knowledge capsules that directly taught knowledge were one thing, but there were also so containing martial arts moves. Those could be preserved. For adventurers, they were very practical things.
"Canned Knowledge is indeed convenient. However, so people will beco dependent on it after using it."
Rukkhadevata also knew that so Canned Knowledge had practical uses. However, most of it would cause people to beco dependent, even using it for cheating and similar matters.
