"Really?"
Ganyu, already flushed with embarrassment, blinked her beautiful lashes and stared at the blue bottle in her hand.
If what the Shopkeeper said was true, it meant she could eat whatever she wanted.
Then, remembering how eagerly she'd just asked, her face turned even redder.
How unpoised of me.
"Of course it's true," Felix chuckled, seeing her shyness. "There are over a hundred pills in there. To put it simply: eat your fill, enjoy every flavor, and never worry about gaining weight."
"That's amazing! I can't believe something like that exists!"
Beside them, Qianyan's eyes sparkled. "I wish I'd pulled that!"
For the crew of the Crux Fleet, maintaining fitness was part of the job—but resisting good food was torture. Imagine being able to eat anything without the consequences?
Qianyan looked at the bottle with naked envy. Even Huixing was staring at it longingly. What girl wouldn't want unlimited guilt‑free food?
"So, shall we continue?" Felix asked gently as Ganyu tucked the bottle away. "You still have five chances left. Would you like to buy another five jars? Who knows, maybe you'll find another bottle."
"Y‑yes, five more, please."
Blushing slightly, Ganyu fumbled for her purse and handed over the Mora.
The first five jars had already given her so much joy. She was eager to see what came next.
"Very well."
Felix accepted the payment with a smile and waved his hand. Five new jars floated down onto the counter.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Host, on selling 100 Common Jars. Reward: One Exclusive Jar (Stored automatically).]
[System Notification: Daily Sign‑In Jar quantity has doubled.]
[System Notification: Exclusive Jar threshold increased. You must now sell 200 Common Jars to earn the next Exclusive Jar.]
Three notifications chimed in his ear at once.
Hmm? Felix raised an eyebrow.
He had expected the Exclusive Jar, but the difficulty spike was new. Two hundred jars for the next one?
On the bright side, his daily free stock had doubled again—from 40 to 80 jars a day.
Not bad. Eighty jars means more inventory to sell. And if the requirements are harder, the rewards in the Exclusive Jars should be getting better, too.
"Is something wrong, Shopkeeper?"
Seeing Felix suddenly freeze and stare into space, Ganyu paused, her hand hovering over a jar. Her cheeks pinked again. Why is he staring at me?
Hu Tao noticed the look too. She glanced between Felix and Ganyu with a mischievous expression.
"Nothing," Felix said, recovering with a calm smile. "Just remembered something. Please, continue."
"Oh. Alright." Ganyu nodded obediently and turned back to the counter.
Crash!
She smashed the sixth jar. A pair of headphones fell out.
[Animal Translation Headphones] — Wear these to understand the language of all animals.
Felix rubbed his chin as he read the description.
Animals… Does that include Primo Geovishaps or Bathysmal Vishaps?
If it did, this item was incredible. If not, it was just a fun toy for talking to squirrels.
Though for Ganyu, who already named every stray dog in Liyue Harbor, maybe it wasn't that necessary. She seemed to understand them fine on her own.
"Ganyu‑sis, your luck is insane," Qianyan sighed. "Not a single empty jar yet."
"She's right," Huixing realized. "Every jar has had something—and nothing useless, either."
"I suppose I am lucky," Ganyu murmured shyly.
Beidou watched her with amusement. Is this really the iron‑willed Secretary of the Qixing? She acts like a bashful little girl.
It was almost hard to believe this was the same woman who managed the entirety of Liyue's bureaucracy.
"Those are Animal Translation Headphones," Felix explained. "Put them on, and you can understand whatever animals are saying. Feel free to test them later."
"I see." Ganyu nodded. It might not be essential for her, but it could be fun to lend to others.
She broke the seventh jar.
Crash!
A palm‑sized machine clattered onto the table. When Ganyu touched it, it suddenly expanded into a rectangular box.
[Free Hot Dog Maker] — Uses water and air to synthesize algae, then processes it into hot dogs. Can provide food for stray animals (or humans).
Felix: "..."
His eyelid twitched.
Hot dogs? Liyue doesn't even have hot dogs—just sausages.
And it created food from air and water? If Xiangling or Chef Mao got this, they'd lose their minds. A perpetual motion food machine?
"This is a Hot Dog Maker," Felix said, keeping his voice steady. "It mass‑produces sausages using only water and air. Don't ask about the science—it's magic. The food is safe for animals or humans."
Hu Tao: "????"
Ganyu: "????"
Beidou: "????"
Qianyan: "????"
Huixing: "????"
Everyone stared at him, jaws dropped.
Sausages… from air?
That sounded like alchemy on steroids. Creation from nothingness?
But looking at the other items in the shop, they decided to just accept it.
"Free food… forever?" Ganyu asked hesitantly. "Is there a limit?"
"No limit," Felix confirmed. "As long as you have air and water."
It was a poverty‑ending device. You could feed the homeless, feed strays, or just open a stall and sell them for pure profit. Though eating the same thing every day might get boring.
"Hmm." Ganyu hugged the machine carefully. This was wonderful. She could use it to feed all the stray dogs in the harbor without spending her salary.
She reached for the eighth jar.
Crash!
Another tattered map fell out.
"Congratulations," Felix laughed. "Another Seelie Clue Map."
[Clue to a Anemo Seelie] — Records the location of a hidden Wind Seelie. Follow it to uncover a secret treasure.
Felix shook his head in disbelief.
Is it because she's a Qilin? The beast of benevolence?
Eight jars. No duds. Two Seelie maps. A perpetual food machine. Diet pills from the gods.
"Ganyu‑sis… leave some luck for the rest of us!" Qianyan groaned. "Two maps?!"
Beidou was equally stunned. She thought her own luck—pulling a Zanpakutō and a battleship—was unbeatable. But Ganyu was pulling miracle after miracle with zero downsides.
Seelies were legends. Most people never saw one. Ganyu now had the coordinates for two.
All she had to do was follow the maps, and the treasures were hers.
