"This, this, and this."

Bai Qiyun stood in front of a shelf, receiving the goods shipped back by Vanessa.

Most of them are ordinary commercial goods, mainly wine-making materials.

But there are also a small number of materials that he had previously entrusted him to search for. After all, these materials are actually part of the brewing materials in a sense.

Such as dandelions, pinwheels, etc.

These things are not uncommon in Mondstadt, but in this era when Mondstadt was controlled by the old nobles, there was no developed adventurer union system in later generations. If you want to find things, you can only entrust someone to find them.

These are the things that the tavern owner specifically asked people to purchase in large quantities.

That's right, in this world where elemental power cannot be used, Bai Qiyun plans to return to his old profession.

"What are you doing?"

Watching the young man start tinkering with the various things in his hands, Eura felt puzzled.

No way, she had never seen Bai Qiyun's appearance in the first battle.

"Ha, these are all good things, I will use them later."

Having said that, due to the raw materials, he can only make a few basic trial works now, and their power is very average.

It’s still unclear how effective it will be at that time.

A203, a familiar name.

Its body is the fusion and collision of the two elemental forces of thunder and fire, thereby triggering a strong explosion.

Explosives that are as powerful as ten times its size can easily defeat ordinary Qiuqiu people.

It should be effective against ordinary people without the Eye of God, even against guards wearing armor.

But Bai Qiyun doesn't intend to stop there.

He also plans to integrate the power of wind and water elements into it in a different way, thereby causing a certain range of damage.

Of course, whether this goal can be achieved depends on how well Vanessa prepares the materials.

"I hope I can catch up..."

Bai Qiyun put down the A203 in his hand and sighed quietly.

"What to catch up with."

Yula held a can of A203 and tried to figure out how to use it.

As one of the captains of the Knights, Yura possesses certain knowledge of alchemy.

She could see the basic principles of A203, but she could also see that the method of making this thing was a different alchemical method than what she knew.

The fusion and stacking of crystals and powders were in a way she had never seen before.

"Could it be Liyue's unique alchemy?"

"Okay, okay, don't play with it until it explodes."

Bai Qiyun took back A203 from Youla's hand.

There are normal people who play with bombs all day long, but they are not Keli.

"I don't know if things are going smoothly or not."

The truth is...it didn't go very smoothly.

Although the plan to 'find the whereabouts of other players' is just a short sentence, the converted task is much heavier than Bai Qiyun assembling explosives in the house.

Several people were wandering aimlessly on the street, not knowing where to go.

"It's so big. It's the first time I think Mondstadt is so big."

Paimon's head drooped, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

In the past, they only moved around in the living area in the lower city, so naturally they didn't realize how big Mondstadt was.

But now once the search scope is expanded to the entire city, it is like an ant has entered the garden and cannot find the north at all.

"After all, this is a place where hundreds of thousands of people live."

Ying said nonchalantly.

Mondstadt is roughly divided into two urban areas: upper and lower. The upper urban area contains some administrative units and religious places with sparse people.

Xiacheng District is where people live. There are hundreds of thousands of people here, which can be called crowded.

Xiacheng District is divided into three major districts, namely East District, Central District and West District according to their orientation.

Among them, the West District relies on the side city gate and is the main urban area where workers work. However, there are also many households living here, but the living conditions are slightly worse.

The East District is the urban area with the largest number of residents and is close to the wall.

The Central District is the most commercially prosperous area in Lower City. It has excellent transportation links, connects the upper and lower districts, and is directly connected to the main entrance of Mondstadt. It has the fewest residents, but the highest housing prices.

Now a few people have not even left the XC area, let alone the entire Mondstadt.

"Speaking of which, the 'beacon fire' in the rules of the game needs to be extinguished in two places before it can be cancelled. Where are those two places?"

"Let me see."

Ying took out a map of Mondstadt given to them by the game, with various landmarks marked on it.

Two bonfire-like signs are stacked on both sides of the city wall, one on the east side of the main entrance and one on the west side of the main entrance.

As if they were deliberately separated, the distance in between was quite far.

It's probably at least seven or eight blocks apart.

"This is to separate us on purpose."

With such an obvious design intention, even Paimon noticed something was wrong.

"Well, after all, it's the mole's exclusive skill."

Naturally, Ying understands the intention behind the design of the game.

After all, the number of moles is very small. Although professional skills are ever-changing, the huge difference in the number of people represents an absolute advantage.

If Bai Qiyun and his party recruit a few people who can be trusted, then they can basically just push them forward based on old acquaintances.

That's why the mastermind behind the game forcibly divides the players into two groups, giving the insiders a chance to take action.

"I always feel like I'm being manipulated."

Paimon occasionally says some cultured words.

Since beacon fires were mentioned, several people moved directly towards one of the bonfire signs.

To the east of the city, in a square that was clearly separated from people, a pile of firewood was lying there, surrounded by buckets of clean water.

The strange thing is that none of the surrounding pedestrians stepped into the square, as if they were deliberately avoiding it, and no one noticed anything unusual.

"It should be something like cognitive modification."

These pedestrians were just like before they came to the game world, deliberately ignoring some things due to the interference of external forces.

Kujo Sora said as he walked to the bucket and picked it up with one hand.

Unexpectedly, such a large bucket of water was like air in her hands, and she couldn't feel the slightest weight.

She turned to look at Paimon, who picked up the bucket effortlessly, thoughtfully.

"This should be a manifestation of the game mechanism, not really asking us to carry water to extinguish the flames."

After all, with Paimon's small size, if she was really asked to carry a bucket, she might as well just surrender.

"The game manual says that two buckets of water can put out a campfire."

Ying picked up a bucket of water and found that he could no longer touch the other bucket of water.

This means that one player can only lift one bucket of water.

"It takes two players to extinguish a bonfire, so at least four people who are willing to extinguish the bonfire must be present to extinguish the beacon fire, otherwise the mole will directly win."

These are hidden rules that are not written in the game rules, and there are many more.

"So there is no such thing..."

Paimon gestured with his hands and feet, Gangxiang said something.

What was just a pile of firewood before her eyes suddenly burst into flames.

"Eh?"

In front of the little guy, a fire suddenly burst into flames, looking so hot under the sunlight.

Coincidentally, another bunch of beacons also suddenly ignited.

The entire sky suddenly turned red, covering the entire city of Mondstadt like a burning cloud.

But the pedestrians on the street seemed to have noticed nothing and were still walking on the street minding their own business.

On the contrary, it was the guards of the old nobles who made a great noise.
