Chapter 430 Paimon: What should I do? I want to change the traveler
Deer Hunter Restaurant, corner location in the lobby.
At the moment Paimeng was caught, she was about to shake and struggle wildly and was about to shout out loud, but Ye's gaze made her confused.
Because Ye Li's smiling eyes were like he was looking at a noisy sister, gentle without a trace of evil.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet you here. I don't know whether to say it's our first meeting or it's been a long time. What do you think, Paimon?"
As soon as Paimon's name was revealed, Kong suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was the outsider and the gray-haired boy in front of him was the traveler who had traveled with Paimon for a long time.
In a sense, Kong's intuition was correct. Ye Li was indeed a traveler who had traveled with Paimon for a long time, and he used the character of a brother, unlike most players who chose their sister as the protagonist.
"You...know me, but I've never seen you before."
Facing the confusion and puzzlement on Paimeng's little face, Ye Li's expression was filled with a hint of loneliness, as if he was a child abandoned by his family.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. It makes me feel like I've done something wrong."
Kong looked at the weird atmosphere between Ye Li and Paimeng. For some reason, he subconsciously clenched his fists and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Li's teasing and apologetic words.
"Paimon did nothing wrong. I'm just being sentimental. After all, it's been a long, long time since I last saw you, Paimon."
There was a lingering nostalgia in Ye Li's words, as if in the world he spoke, his separation from Paimon was just like yesterday.
"Um... who, what's your name? You've paid a lot of money to treat me, but how can I know you, my 'acquaintance', without knowing your name, right?"
Seeing Paimon's quick thinking and using words to get Ye Li out of the Emo state, Kong really wanted to give him a thumbs up.
After all, Ye Li's look of indifference to the world and his desolate feeling made the two of them feel like sitting on pins and needles.
Now that Paimeng's words had come, the atmosphere suddenly returned to normal. Ye Li also retracted his little emo emotions, and his eyes looking at the two of them became clear again, as if what happened just now was an illusion.
Ye Li looked at Paimon with a smile on his face as he breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed feeling a sense of surprise in his heart.
After all, when he was a traveler, whether it was a side quest, a legend or a demon quest, the only one who accompanied him the longest was the little guy Paimon.
Although from the game it seems that the drawn character will always accompany the traveler, sometimes the appearance of Paimon is also a way to relieve aesthetic fatigue.
Now in reality, he is no longer a traveler, and his Paimon is forever sealed in the big world of his account, and the last time he went online was in the big world.
Thinking of this, Ye Li no longer felt any emotion, but just smiled and answered Paimeng's question directly.
"My name is Ye Li. I am from Liyue. I am a guest of Liyue Wangsheng Hall and also the manager of the Wangsheng Hall's international chain of branches. As for how I know Paimeng, that is my secret. I am sorry that I cannot tell you."
"Ye Li? A Liyue native, a guest of the Wangsheng Hall, and the manager of a branch hall. It sounds so complicated."
"Mr. Ye Li means that he has many identities, and it's up to you to decide what to call him."
Kong explained Ye Li's words to Paimeng, and at the same time looked at the smiling Ye Li and said:
"But thank you Mr. Ye Li for the treat. I was just worried about how to find a suitable commission in the next few days after paying for the meal."
"Oh, so this yellow-haired brother is also an adventurer from the Adventurer's Association."
"I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kong. I won't introduce Paimeng since Mr. Ye Li seems to be very familiar with her."
"Hey, Sora, you're making me feel like I'm losing my memory."
Seeing Paimon's angry look, Ye Li and Kong smiled knowingly. They understood each other's meaning and became familiar with each other.
Two hours of conversation brought everyone closer together, and Kong also realized that the Gale Core in his backpack was extremely valuable. As long as he found a large Chamber of Commerce or Adventurer's Association to trade with it, he could get at least 8000 million Mora in exchange.
When Ye Li spoke this piece of news, Kong and Paimon were so shocked that they could fit an apple in their mouths. It can be said that this unexpected fortune made both of them swallow their saliva involuntarily.
After leaving the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Kong and Paimon whispered to each other, and then Paimon flew to Ye Li, rubbed his hands shyly and said:
"Um, Ye Li, do you know which hotel in Mondstadt is the cheapest? The hotels that Kong and I found before were all very expensive. Other cheap hotels are barely affordable and are far away from here. Do you have any good recommendations?"
When Ye Li heard this, he suddenly felt happy and helpless.
After two hours of conversation, Ye Li now has a clear understanding of Kong's financial situation. It can only be said that Kong's financial situation is slightly better than that of ordinary people, but not much.
It would be fine if it was just one person, but with Paimon, the gold-eating monster, around, it would be extremely difficult to find a good place to stay.
But they are really lucky. Now that they have met me, they don’t have to worry about accommodation anymore.
Just like that, amid Paimon's jubilant cheers, Ye Li brought the duo of travelers to his inn.
Looking at the rental prices on the counter, Kong almost burst into tears. He had not been having a good time these days, whether on the sea or in the forest. Although the environment in Teyvat was good, it could not stand the gloomy environment and the endless sea.
After all, being in that kind of environment is simply a test. If you can get through it, it's fine, but if you can't, you will go crazy.
In his heart, Sora was complaining about his life before coming to Mondstadt. He wasn't really complaining about anything, he was just complaining to relieve himself from the fatigue of the past few days.
After booking the room, Kong took Paimeng upstairs under the strange gaze of the waitress. Ye Li just chuckled and followed them upstairs.
Arriving at the third floor, Ye Li immediately saw the room opposite his own. Coincidentally, it was the room they had booked.
Kong was also surprised, while Paimeng flew to Ye Li with a smile, and said with a hint of joy in his voice:
"Hehehe, what a coincidence, Ye Li, our room is right across from yours, now we can visit each other."
"It's true that we can visit each other, but I won't be in Mondstadt for long. I will return to Liyue after I finish my business. If there is a chance and destiny, we will meet again."
"Is that so? But Yeli, you don't look like you're in a hurry to leave."
"I just arrived in Mondstadt today, so I won't leave so quickly. I still have to deal with the affairs of the branch hall. If Paimon is interested in coming and taking a look, I'll provide you with enough food."
After hearing Ye Li say that there would be enough food, Paimeng, who had just finished his meal, couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his mouth. He looked so moved that he wanted to grab Ye Li, this long-term meal ticket that was better than Kong.
Thinking about Ye Li's care and attitude towards him in these few short hours, Paimeng was wondering whether he should continue to follow Ye Li.
What should I do? I suddenly want to change travelers.
This thought flashed through Paimon's mind, but it was quickly extinguished. After all, she could still vividly remember her travels with Kong, and it would not be good to abandon him like this.
Moreover, they also agreed to look for their sister together. As a kind of contract, she will not break her promise, otherwise she will be punished for breaking her promise.
