Chapter 31 - True Bad Luck: Is This Shop a Scam?!

In Childe's eyes, this was Felix's entire business model. Scamming people with trash.

He was pretty sure he was being played.

As for the rumors of someone pulling a Vision? Probably fake news.

After all, few had witnessed it. It was all hearsay.

But what about Ningguang's Eternal Youth Pill? How did she pull that?

And she announced it publicly. Ningguang wasn't the type to act as a shill for a scam artist.

Childe frowned, his thoughts becoming a tangled mess.

Could it be... that his luck was just that bad?

"Give me another jar."

After a few seconds of thought, Childe slapped another 100,000 Mora on the counter and pointed to a random jar.

Crack.

The jar shattered. This time, a single blue flower fell out.

[Glaze Lily]: An ancient flower said to have once bloomed across the lands of Liyue. It transforms the memories of the earth into fragrance during its flowering period.

Felix: "..."

He had seen bad luck before, but this was impressive.

First a broken katana, now a Glaze Lily.

Two hundred thousand Mora spent, and the only valuable thing was a flower worth 50,000.

Still, it was impressive that the jar produced a local Teyvat item.

Yesterday, he hadn't seen anyone pull local goods.

It seemed anything was possible.

This time, Felix didn't need to explain. Childe recognized the flower instantly.

His face went dark.

One hundred thousand Mora for a single Glaze Lily?

He could buy one at Bubu Pharmacy for 50,000!

Damn it. This IS a scam shop.

Childe was speechless.

He was rich, but he wasn't stupid.

Two hundred thousand Mora down the drain for 50,000 worth of goods? That was a net loss of 150,000.

"Boss! Boss! Open a jar for me!"

Just then, a shout rang out as a man ran in excitedly, clutching a money bag.

"Uh."

Childe, who was about to demand an explanation, paused.

Another customer? Fine. He wanted to see what this guy would pull.

"How many do you want?"

Felix smiled at the newcomer. "You came yesterday and bought two jars. You have eight chances left this week."

He ignored Childe for the moment to attend to the paying customer.

"Boss, you have a great memory!"

The man laughed. "Today, Lady Ningguang opened the Liyue Bank. I withdrew all my savings from home, deposited it, and kept a little extra to try my luck again. Give me three jars! Here's 300,000!"

He handed over the Mora and picked three jars.

Felix placed them on the counter.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three jars shattered in succession. Three items appeared.

A blue glowing orb.

A white glowing orb.

And a pair of gloves.

Seeing these, the man looked confused. "Boss, what are these glowing things? They aren't items?"

Yesterday, he had pulled physical objects. Today, he got lights?

[1,000 Sword Swings Experience]: The condensed experience of a sword master swinging their blade 1,000 times. Absorption grants instant muscle memory and skill.

[Chef's Cooking Experience]: The lifelong experience of a master chef. Absorption grants instant culinary mastery.

[Fishing Gloves]: A magical tool that automatically locates nearby fish and assists the user in catching them.

"Your luck is excellent."

Reading the descriptions, Felix smiled. "These are Experience Orbs. Merge with them, and you instantly gain the skills contained within. For example, this one contains the experience of a sword master swinging his blade one thousand times."

"The second one contains the lifelong skills of a master chef. Absorb it, and you will instantly become a chef who knows how to cook from scratch. Do you understand?"

"As for the third item, these aren't ordinary gloves. They are Fishing Gloves. Put them on, and they will guide your hands to catch fish automatically."

"Experience?!"

The man stared in shock.

Are you kidding me? You can pull EXPERIENCE from a jar?

That was defying reality!

Becoming a master chef instantly? Gaining sword skills without practice?

And auto-fishing gloves?

His luck today was insane!

He didn't doubt Felix for a second. Yesterday proved the shopkeeper didn't lie.

Trembling with excitement, he reached out to touch the glowing orbs!
