Under the strong request of the boss, Abedo was finally sent out by the waiter with a respectful look, but before that, he signed the boss's name very seriously.
"How's it going? Is it fun?"
Abedo looked at this guy who was supposed to be running away from the bill, but now he was sitting on a bench by the road with a mint in his mouth in a daze.
"Did you arrange this person?"
"It would be possible if you could teach me a clone technique."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand: "Dan Dingdian, how can everything in the world be planned? I can assure you that I chose the tavern at random, and the owner there was not an actor arranged by me."
"I just want to tell you that although you are a shy guy who doesn't go out much all the time, everyone in Mondstadt is not unfamiliar with you."
"Well, how should I evaluate it? Maybe it's that although you don't hang out in the world, your legend is everywhere in the world?"
Abedo was stunned: "Don't think that I don't know what Jianghu is. Your analogy is not very appropriate."
"It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not. I'm too lazy to ask you if you have any insights from today's events. That's the reading comprehension that poor candidates need to answer. We just went to drink."
Gu Sanqiu stood up: "I'll teach you one more thing. Do you know why I ran away just now? Otherwise, you can still see how the boss praised you inside."
Abedo asked seriously: "Why."
"Oh, because there will also be this classic scene between bad friends saying I'm treating you to a treat, and then finally asking you to pay. Maybe before that, your wallet will be taken away, and you will be dragged to the laundry by the boss soon. Come out and be the savior hero when the plate comes."
Abedo took a deep look at Gu Sanqiu: "To put it simply, the so-called bad friends are those who can't see their friends well. Isn't that what it means?"
"How could it be? This is actually a proof of friendship."
Gu Sanqiu looked serious: "Ordinary friends wouldn't do this, because they need other ways to maintain and deepen their friendship, you know what I mean."
Abedo stared at Gu Sanqiu: "But I still think you are talking nonsense just to make up a high-sounding reason for your fun-seeking behavior based on the pain of your friends."
"Tsk, so that's why it's not fun to be friends with people who have quick brains."
Gu Sanqiu curled his lips, so it was easier for people like Brother Chongyun to fool him. After all, his mind was full of spells and demons, and he couldn't hold anything else in his mind.
He began to understand why Xingqiu always liked to take each other with him when he went out.
Fooling Abedo?
It would be nice if the other party doesn't take it seriously and makes a plan instead of being deceived and suffer a big loss.
Fortunately I'm smart.
Abedo was glad for the first time that his mother did not develop him as a pure fighter when he created him.
"However, I have an impression of what the boss said."
Abedo said: "The incident at that time was actually a transfer document that I accidentally saw in the Alchemy Society. The original solution was for the Alchemy Society to allocate a sum of money and then buy some new ones for the old people in Mondstadt. Furniture and warm clothes and stuff.”
"But after I saw it, I thought this was an opportunity to gain some reputation in Mondstadt in this way, so I did it."
Abedo looked at Gu Sanqiu: "The same is basically true for other things, which is why I insisted on paying just now. In my opinion, the things I did were just fair transactions."
"Oh, a deal is a deal, is it possible that you still have to think of a high-sounding reason for yourself?"
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "For Mondstadt's bright future, or for all Mondstadt people to live a good life?"
"Look at the essence through the phenomenon, brother, the essence of what you think is that this is a transaction, but for their lives, it is essentially the help of Master Albedo of the Alchemy Society."
"These days, favors have actually changed. They have been regarded as bargaining chips in transactions. So now many people are a little annoyed when they hear someone say that you owe me a favor. They must either make it clear on the spot or find a way to pay it back as soon as possible."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said: "You think the transaction is beneficial to you, but do you think the Alchemy Society's regular form of sending warmth is the first time? It's definitely not the case."
"For those elderly people, the most important thing is the convenient props that can control the temperature and humidity, and the financial subsidies that help them recharge for free, but more importantly, the camaraderie of making the props is in it."
Gu Sanqiu said: "Just like how I killed the evil spirit in Liyue, my original intention during the Hai Lantern Festival was to help Brother Mandrill and kill those annoying things. The side effect was that Liyue People are safer when going out."
"They gave me food and a lot of things for my needs, but you can tell from my words that my intention was never to help them, at least not now."
Solve some general issues in the lives of Liyue people?
Just kidding, Qixing is still working hard on this road, why should he, a devotee, just follow his own plan?
"Then don't you feel a little ashamed?"
"Being ashamed is a good thing. It proves that you really treat them as people related to you. To be more direct, you treat yourself as a human being."
Gu Sanqiu patted Albedo on the shoulder: "Then make a few more transactions, use your shame to exchange their gratitude, and continue to leave Albedo's legend in Mondstadt."
"Most of the people in Mondstadt are still very simple. If you feel that dealing with these people is not suitable for your development of interpersonal relationships, you can come to Liyue to live for a short time another day."
Gu Sanqiu looked enigmatic: "At that time, you will be a well-known alchemist in Teyvat and the captain of the investigation team of the Knights of the West Wind. If you have any other messy identities, you can add them."
"And the most important thing is that among your series of titles, you will also have a good friend of the incense person. I guarantee that there will definitely be many people who come to you with various purposes."
Abedo thought carefully, then looked at Gu Sanqiu: "I can understand that you are bragging."
"That's pretty much it anyway."
Gu Sanqiu gently placed the mint on the grass: "Don't live so tiredly. If you have to think about everything clearly, you will go crazy. The more you worry about whether you are a human being, the more you will feel that you are not living like a human being."
"You can only rely on your own judgment as to what a person is. Whether it is in a physiological sense or a metaphysical sense, you will get different answers."
"Since you have asked this kind of question, it proves that you actually want to become a real human being in your heart. In this case, what does it matter if you are once in a lake?"
Gu Sanqiu said solemnly: "You are a human being, you are Abedo, this will never change, and it is also something that everyone remembers. Origin is never the core conclusion that determines a person."
"Just like those primitive and perfect idiots from the Abyss Order who called you a flaw. Next time you meet them, just beat them to death and carve a sentence on their graves."
"Remember, my name is Albedo."
