Genshin, No sad stories

After leaving the Northland Bank, Lumine looked at Jiang Chen with confusion. 

"Why don't you want to deposit your money in the bank?" 

"Is there something wrong with them?" 

Lumine was also puzzled. Why would Jiang Chen carry all that cash with him? 

Even if he had storage equipment, wouldn't it be better to keep it in the bank? 

"Hmm... how should I put it?" 

"The Northland Bank is backed by the Fatui." 

"You know about the Fatui, right?" 

"To put it in simpler terms, they're a terrorist organization." 

Hearing this, Lumine was stunned. 

"A terrorist organization?" 

"Good grief!!" 

"A terrorist organization is running a bank?" 

"This is eye-opening!!" 

After hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Lumine finally understood why he didn't want to deposit his money there. 

So they were a terrorist organization. 

Got it. 

From now on, she wouldn't deposit her money in the Northland Bank either. 

"Wait, that doesn't make sense." 

"Then why do so many people deposit their money there?" 

"Master Diluc and the Knights of Favonius both use their checks." 

Paimon, however, was very confused. 

If they were a terrorist organization, why would the wealthy people they knew also deposit their money there? 

This completely baffled Paimon. 

"They wouldn't dare embezzle their money?" 

"After all, they have a lot of influence." 

"If something really went wrong, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Snezhnaya." 

"But for ordinary people like us, it's different." 

"If we ever offend the Fatui, they could just take our deposits. What then?" 

... 

Hearing this explanation, Paimon was speechless. 

Is that how it is? 

Why does it feel off to me? 

Paimon scratched her head. Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to overthink it. 

Whatever Jiang Chen says must be right. 

With that in mind, she stopped asking questions. 

After leaving the Northland Bank, the three of them headed straight to the Cat's Tail Tavern. 

As soon as they entered, they saw quite a few people lying around. 

Seeing these people, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange. 

Diona had really followed Jiang Chen's advice. 

She had made the drinks extra strong. 

And at the bar counter, Jiang Chen even saw the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern passed out. 

Good grief, even her own boss was knocked out? 

This just proved how amazing Diona was! 

"Huh?" 

"Why are you guys here again?" 

Seeing Jiang Chen and Lumine return, Diona was surprised. 

"Help me brew some more of that wine from yesterday." 

"I have a few friends who don't believe it. They say they don't believe such a wine exists." 

"So they want to try it." 

"This time, you can add a bit more to it." 

Jiang Chen spoke to Diona with a serious expression. 

Hearing this, Diona immediately became unhappy. 

"There are actually people this stubborn?" 

"I'll make it for you right away." 

"Jiang Chen, your suggestions are amazing." 

"Now those alcoholics are finally quiet." 

"Look, those guys get drunk after just one cup." 

"Then they all fall asleep." 

"This is fantastic." 

As soon as she started talking about this, Diona became excited. 

Jiang Chen's method was truly brilliant. 

"If it works, that's great." 

"After a few more times, they'll probably quit drinking." 

"If possible, you should get a camera." 

"Then take pictures of their embarrassing moments." 

"And post them everywhere." 

Jiang Chen smiled as he gave Diona some more advice. 

Hearing this, Diona's eyes lit up. 

"Great!" 

"I'll remember that." 

"Thank you, Jiang Chen." 

Diona thanked him sincerely. 

This method was also good. 

Jiang Chen's suggestions were truly useful. 

After some tinkering, Diona brewed quite a bit more wine for Jiang Chen. 

This time, Jiang Chen asked for 10 bottles. 

Even if he didn't give all of them to Venti, they would still have some special uses. 

So Jiang Chen planned to store some. 

After getting the wine, Jiang Chen bid farewell to Diona. 

"What's next?" 

"Where are we going?" 

Lumine looked at Jiang Chen. 

What was the plan now? 

"We'll hang out for a bit longer, then head to Liyue tomorrow." 

"For now, go wherever you want." 

"I'm going back to the hotel." 

"You can go handle your own business." 

Lumine still needed to arrange matters related to her brother. 

So they would part ways for now. 

Lumine nodded. That was fine. 

She would go take care of her brother's affairs first. 

With that in mind, Lumine left with Paimon. 

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen wandered around alone. 

As Jiang Chen strolled, a dark-skinned guy approached him. 

"Yo!" 

"Hello there." 

Hearing this voice, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. 

Looking at Kaeya, who had approached him, Jiang Chen was a bit puzzled. 

"Hello, Kaeya." 

Kaeya was surprised to hear Jiang Chen call him by name. 

Had they met before? 

But now Jiang Chen knew who he was? 

"You know me?" 

Kaeya looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment. 

"I've heard of you." 

"Captain of the Knights of Favonius Cavalry." 

"But I heard the cavalry doesn't have any horses?" 

"Is that true?" 

Jiang Chen didn't directly say Kaeya had no horse! 

He was afraid of getting beaten up. 

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Kaeya's face darkened. 

"Nonsense!" 

"The cavalry has horses!!" 

"This must be someone spreading rumors!" 

Darn it, a cavalry without horses? 

Good grief, what kind of cavalry doesn't have horses? 

"I see." 

"If someone's spreading rumors, it must be the Abyss Order." 

Jiang Chen smiled and then asked: 

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" 

Jiang Chen looked at Kaeya with innocent eyes. 

He now resembled a harmless college student. 

Noticing Jiang Chen's gaze, Kaeya was a bit confused. 

Good grief, why does he look so naive? 

This is strange. 

Didn't they say he defeated Stormterror? 

Kaeya muttered to himself, feeling a bit lost. 

"Last night, I saw you returning from outside. What were you doing?" 

Kaeya didn't beat around the bush and directly asked what he wanted to know. 

"Last night?" 

"Barbatos came to us and gave us some rewards." 

"Mm, a bottle of wine." 

"Then I sold it to Diluc." 

Jiang Chen explained with a serious expression. 

Yes, that's exactly how it happened. 

Even if Kaeya went to ask Diluc, there would be no issue. 

Jiang Chen had indeed sold him a bottle of wine. 

As for asking Barbatos? 

Sorry, Barbatos isn't showing up. Go ask Venti. 

But what does Venti have to do with Jiang Chen and Barbatos? 

Hearing this answer, Kaeya was also surprised. 

"Lord Barbatos appeared again?" 

"I see." 

He sold the wine to Diluc? 

Then I'll go ask him later. 

"That's right, he appeared again." 

"To thank me, he specially gave me a bottle of Wind God's Brew." 

"But I don't drink." 

"Then I heard that Mondstadt's richest man collects things related to the Anemo Archon." 

"So I sold it to him." 

This explanation was flawless. 

Don't believe me? Go ask!
