Lisa then asked,
"And what about Mr. Ye Yun? Why isn't he with you all?"
As the "mouth of the gods," Paimon faithfully fulfilled her mission and explained, "He went back."
Lisa was a bit puzzled upon hearing that. "Back?"
Lumine gave a helpless look and began explaining Ye Yun's situation to Lisa and the others once again.
After listening, Kaeya was a little surprised. Soone could actually bring others across worlds at will—what kind of unimaginable power must that take? "Is there really soone who can do such a thing?"
Jean, on the other hand, was more interested in the shop Ye Yun had opened, where one could purchase items from across all worlds using Primogems.
"All worlds..." Although it was the first ti Jean had heard this term, it wasn't difficult to grasp.
"Lumine, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Lumine asked, "What is it, Acting Grand Master Jean?"
Jean said, "I'd like your help to invite Mr. Ye Yun over. We'd like to buy so things from him."
Lumine thought for a mont. "Sure, but probably not today. He's likely resting. Let's wait until tomorrow."
Lisa smiled. "No rush. Tomorrow's fine. You don't have a place to stay tonight, do you?"
Paimon crossed her arms proudly. "Hmph~ We do have a place to stay~ We bought a camper van from Ye Yun! Not only is it a mode of transport, but we can live in it too!"
Lisa, Kaeya, and the others were intrigued and wanted to see this novel thing.
"A camper van? Lumine, can we co take a look too?"
Lumine agreed instantly. "Of course. It's parked at the city gate. The city gate!!!" Lumine suddenly rembered the van was in an open area—and Mondstadt had just suffered a dragon disaster.
Gasp!!!
"Oh no!!!" Lumine slapped the table, grabbed Paimon, and rushed out."My van!!!"
Kaeya and the others quickly followed.
Lumine reached the front gate of the Knights' HQ, checked the height, and directly unfurled her Wind Glider, heading toward the city gate.
More than ten minutes later, Lumine arrived and quickly located her camper van.
She took one look and was instantly petrified. "My camper van!!!" Lumine clutched her head and cried.
Paimon was also stunned. "Our van! We just got it!"
Jean and the others arrived at the scene and saw that the once brand-new camper van was now covered in dents, the windows smashed, and the interior filled with mud and sand.
Jean looked at the van and asked Amber, "This is it, Amber?"
Amber nodded. "Yes, but it didn't look like this before. It was very nice and new. Now..."
Lumine sat in a corner, hugging her knees and staring at the sky at a 45° angle. "My van... my van... hehe. The van is gone, and I still owe a debt. Hehe... haha! Hahahaha!"
Paimon shook Lumine's shoulders hard. "Lumine! Snap out of it!"
Jean glanced at the van and exchanged a look with Lisa. Lisa nodded, and Jean said, "Lumine, how much did this van cost? The Knights of Favonius will help you buy a new one. You only suffered this disaster because you ca to Mondstadt and even helped us. It's only right we compensate you."
After being sad for a bit, Lumine wiped her tears and stood up with the help of the city wall. "It's okay. It wasn't that expensive. You don't have to pay back."
Lisa said, "That won't do, Lumine. We should compensate you."
Kaeya also chid in, "Yeah, Lumine, how much did it cost? We'll pay you back."
Lumine replied, "No need for Mora. I bought this van from Ye Yun. He only accepts Star Coins, which are exchanged from Primogems."
Jean asked directly, "How many Primogems did your van cost?"
Lumine answered, "Just 200 Primogems. I can handle it myself. I'm a great traveler, aren't I? I can't possibly not afford a van! No way! Absolutely not! Paimon! Tomorrow, we're going out to find Primogems!"
Truly worthy of a protagonist—her spirit bounced back quickly as she declared they'd search for Primogems the next day.
Jean and the others wanted to continue persuading her, but Lisa put a hand on Jean's shoulder. "Jean, let's not push it for now. Leave this to ."
As Lisa's close friend, Jean knew full well what she was capable of. "Alright, Lisa. It's up to you. Let know if you need anything."
Lisa looked toward Kaeya and Amber. "Then I'll have to trouble our cavalry captain and scout knight."
Kaeya groaned, "Seriously? More overti? I was just thinking of heading to Master Diluc's for a drink..."
Amber, on the other hand, had no complaints. "Kaeya! Drinking again? That's all you ever do!"
Later that evening, Jean arranged a place for Lumine and Paimon to stay the night.
***
Belobog, Lower City District.
Inside the clinic—
Stelle, March 7th, Dan Heng, Natasha, and Seele were all gathered around a spirit hatching chamber.
March 7th was staring anxiously at the tir on the chamber, muttering under her breath nonstop. "Almost there! Almost there! My spirit! Co out already! I can't wait!"
The others were excited too.
Today, Natasha had returned and gotten to know Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng. Naturally, as Ye Yun's companions, she treated them very well.
Finally, after a burst of intense vibration, the spirit hatching chamber cald down.
The tir hit zero.
With a click, the hatch opened, revealing a green-and-yellow figure before everyone's eyes.
"Bu-bu~ Bu-bu~"
At that mont, the hatching chamber emitted an electronic voice:
[Hatching complete! Result:
Rare Spirit: Bud Seed.
Growth Stage: Infant.]
After hearing the ssage, March 7th finally learned the spirit's na—Bud Seed.
She cheerfully greeted it. "Hello, Bud Seed! I'm March 7th!"
Bud Seed sensed that March 7th was its trainer, took a few quick steps to the hatch, and stretched out its leafy hands to hug her cheeks, nuzzling its tiny face against hers with a happy smile.
"Bu-bu~ Bu-bu~"
March 7th was so happy with the spirit's affection that she picked it up and spun around with joy. "Haha~ Bud Seed~ we're partners now~!"
Bud Seed raised its leafy hands. "Bu-bu! Bu-bu!"
Everyone in the room was quite fond of the little creature. After all, who could resist sothing cute, loyal, and capable in battle?
Stelle deeply regretted not buying one back then. Why didn't I just get one! I had 3000 Star Coins! If I'd bought one less trash-brand scratch card, I could've gotten a spirit too!
Damn it!
But then again, it was that third trash-brand scratch card that gave him the Sekiro ga cartridge, which let him make a fortune from Silver Wolf.
***
Stelle watched the Bub Seed playing with March 7th, pulled out the 40 Stellar Jades she had earned from Silver Wolf, and thought for a long ti.
Finally, as if making up her mind, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
Soon, a voice ca from the other side.
"Stelle, why are you calling ?"
Stelle said:
"Ye Yun, where are you? I want to buy sothing."
Ye Yun was a bit speechless—he had just been about to fall asleep.
"Tomorrow. I'm on the train right now. I'll head to the chanical Settlent tomorrow; Svarog wants to trade supplies."
After that, Ye Yun directly hung up.
Seeing this, Stelle could only put her Stellar Jades away with a helpless expression.
Looks like she'd have to wait until tomorrow to buy her own little spirit.
Ti passed quickly, and soon it was the next morning.
After Ye Yun, Hook, and Clara finished eating, they took the landing shuttle toward Belobog.
This ti, Ye Yun didn't choose the previous landing site. Instead, he landed on an ice field.
Through the window of the landing shuttle, Ye Yun could see a passage leading straight underground.
At the entrance to the passage, Svarog was waiting with a team of robots.
That's right.
This passage had been dug overnight by Svarog's robots to allow Ye Yun direct access to the Underworld.
With this passage, Ye Yun no longer needed to use Sambo's secret route to enter the lower city.
Clara stepped off the shuttle and, upon seeing Svarog, ran toward him happily.
Svarog crouched down to catch Clara.
"Welco ho, Clara."
Ye Yun, carrying Hook, walked over and teased:
"Yo? Svarog, you personally ca to greet us?"
Svarog's red light blinked.
"You are an honored guest. According to human etiquette, a greeting is proper.
And today, Clara is coming ho."
Ye Yun chuckled.
"Bet it's that last part that really made you co out, huh?"
Svarog wanted to explain, but Ye Yun waved his hand.
"Alright, alright. Enough small talk. You're a robot—you don't feel the cold. But we're freezing. Let's find a warr place to talk."
With that, Ye Yun carried Hook into the passage without looking back.
The passage had been rushed overnight and lacked proper infrastructure—no lights, for example.
Fortunately, the robots turned on their lighting systems once inside, illuminating the way.
After about ten minutes of walking, Ye Yun and the others exited the passage.
Right in front of them was Clara's house.
As soon as Ye Yun pushed open the door, he saw several familiar faces.
"March? Dan Heng? Stelle? Natasha? Seele? What are you all doing here?"
Svarog replied:
"They said they wanted to trade with you, so I let them in."
Star suddenly rushed up to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, I want to buy sothing!"
With that, she directly handed over 10 Stellar Jades.
Ye Yun accepted them into his bag.
"What do you want to buy?"
Stelle pointed at the Bubu Seed in March 7th's arms.
"A Spirit!"
Ye Yun nodded and helped Stelle purchase a low-grade sprite core worth 1,000 Star Coins from the shop.
"Here you go. This is a sprite core. You know how to use it, right?"
Stelle grinned.
"I got it! You guys chat—I'm off!"
She imdiately bolted out the door holding the core.
March 7th was a bit speechless.
"Was that really necessary? Right, Bubu Seed?"
She rubbed the soft little sprite in her arms.
Bubu Seed's skin was soft like cotton candy, and March 7th loved to cuddle it.
Dan Heng took a deep breath and glanced at March 7th.
You're one to talk. You were just as anxious waiting for your Bubu Seed yesterday.
Ye Yun turned to Natasha.
"Natasha, are you here to buy sothing too?"
Natasha nodded.
"Yes, I'd like to buy so mining equipnt. Do you have any?"
Ye Yun nodded, thought for a mont, then pulled out his phone and temporarily copied over a dozen mining tools from the system shop onto it.
"Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Natasha took the phone and began browsing.
As Ye Yun watched her pick out items, he suddenly felt this thod of selling wasn't very efficient—having to explain everything one by one.
The best solution would still be the store itself, where buyers could see detailed product info directly.
So, Ye Yun communicated with the system in his mind:
"System? Is there a way I can bring these people directly to the shop quickly?"
[Notice! The host can purchase a Shop Teleportation Gate. After placent, anyone using it will need the host's approval to enter.]
Hearing this, Ye Yun opened the system shop and found the teleportation gate.
[Item: Shop Teleportation GateFunction: Allows teleportation to the host's shop after approval.Price: 1,000 Star Coins.]
Ye Yun glanced at the price and bought it without hesitation.
Since the Express Crew would soon leave Belobog, this teleportation gate would be handy for continuing business there.
Natasha and the others could then shop at his store directly via the gate.
Ye Yun imdiately placed the teleportation gate in Clara's house.
It was the safest spot in the Underworld—Svarog's protection wasn't just for show.
March 7th looked curiously at the door Ye Yun had placed.
"Ye Yun, what's this door for?"
Ye Yun answered:
"This door leads directly to my shop. Try it."
March 7th opened the door, only to see total darkness.
"Ye Yun, did you ss up? It's pitch black inside—definitely not your shop."
A prompt rang in Ye Yun's mind.
[March 7th is requesting access to the shop. Approve?]
Ye Yun ntally approved.
The next second, March 7th's vision shifted—and the interior of Ye Yun's shop appeared before her.
March 7th rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"It is your shop!"
She even saw Hiko sitting in a booth, reading and sipping coffee.
March 7th waved.
"Hiko! Hiko!"
Hiko looked up, surprised.
"Little March?"
March 7th was thrilled and ran inside.
Once she entered, the door turned pitch black again.
Dan Heng, puzzled, looked to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun explained:
"To get to my shop, I have to approve each person. If I don't approve, the door leads nowhere."
Dan Heng nodded in understanding.
He then stepped to the gate, and after Ye Yun's approval, also entered the shop.
Ye Yun suddenly thought of a problem: getting a notification for each person—wouldn't that be annoying?
[Notice: The host may designate "pass-through personnel." These users can use the gate without approval.]
