[Cheat] Chapter 83: Flora
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 03:06:03 +0000 UTC“Hehe, Flora loves dandelions the most~ They’re so light, so floaty,” she giggled.
“That Acting Grand Master of the Knights, Miss Jean, is called the Dandelion Knight, right?
Maybe it’s because she spent so much time around dandelions that she learned how to control the power of Anemo!”
Paimon blinked. “Are you saying that if someone spends enough time with dandelions, they can get a Vision and harness the power of wind?”
“Hehe, Flora never said that! But it’s not impossible, right?
After all, here in Mondstadt, the god we worship is none other than Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.
And dandelions are Lord Barbatos’s favorite flower.
So maybe… if you buy a dandelion, you might become a Vision Holder too~”
Zephyr was stunned.
“Come on, this isn’t even a hint—this is a blatant pitch. Classic shady merchant move. No wonder she and Chloris are sisters…”
But waitVenti’s favorite flower is dandelions? Since when?
If anything, it should be Cecilia, right? That’s his ascension material, after all.
Paimon asked curiously, “Flora, why do you like dandelions so much?”
“Hehe, why? Hmm… maybe it’s because of that book I read onceThe Fox of the Dandelion Sea.
No one’s ever asked Flora that before.
Here, I’ll give you this book—maybe once you read it, you’ll love dandelions too~”
Saying that, she handed a book to Zephyr.
Paimon was flustered. “We just met and you’re already giving us a book? That’s too generous…”
Zephyr accepted it. “Well, thanks a lot!”
“Hey!” Paimon protested.
“Ahem! I wasn’t just trying to take advantage of her generosity! It’s just… I’m a scholar, you know?
And I love collecting all kinds of books.
Since I’m new in Mondstadt, collecting some local literature makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?”
“…You almost had me convinced.”
Flora smiled. “It’s fine, it’s just a book~
But if you really feel bad about it, how about buying some flowers instead?”
“Sure, sure! Traveler, what kind of flowers do you like?”
Each flower had a price tag:
- Windwheel Aster – 1000 Mora
- Cecilia – 1000 Mora
- Small Lamp Grass – 1000 Mora
- Dandelion – 1000 Mora
- Sweet Flower – 200 Mora
Paimon’s eyes went wide. “So expensive!”
Flora gave an innocent smile. “Dear customer, our prices are fair and honest—we’ve always charged this much.”
“But still! This is way too much!”
“Hehe, oh come now. I can tell just by looking—you’re no ordinary person.
You're destined for great things.
And your companion—clearly someone who possesses a Vision!
Vision holders have the potential to become gods. For people like you, what’s a little pocket change?”
“I mean… you kinda have a point…”
Zephyr twitched. Are you seriously falling for that sales pitch?
“Wait a sec—other flowers I get, they’re rare ascension materials.
But why is Sweet Flower so expensive too?!”
Flora blinked innocently. “I don’t understand, sir. Sweet Flower is an ascension material too!”
“Nonsense!”
Paimon chimed in, “Sweet Flower is not an ascension material!”
“You must be mistaken. Of course it is! That’s common knowledge in Mondstadt. Maybe you’re the ones who are confused?” She gave them that smug look like they were the crazy ones.
Confused? My foot!
Zephyr's face twitched. Wow. Lying with a straight face like it’s nothing.
These two little lolis… no doubt about it—they really are sisters!
Considering that the average Mondstadt citizen only makes around 2000 Mora a month, and a single Sweet Flower costs 200…
What a scam!
At that moment, a nearby passerby said, “Hey, stranger—you must be new around here. This shop sells ascension materials at jacked-up prices, targeting outsiders specifically.
If you want a regular flower shop, just go two more blocks ahead.”
“Got it. Thanks.”
Flora panicked and quickly said, “Don’t listen to that guy, dear customer! Our prices might be a little higher, but all of these are rare materials! Isn’t it natural for rare things to cost more?”
“Then what’s the deal with that Sweet Flower?”
“Ahem…”
Paimon crossed her arms and huffed, “You and your sister really are two of a kind—total swindlers!”
“Sister?”
“We met a little girl in the wild who called herself a plant expert. She said the same thing—claimed Mint was an ascension material, and she sold it at a super high price too.
You two really are sisters. By the way, isn’t she here too?”
“Oh, so you’ve met my sister… that annoying sister of mine.
No, she’s not here. I don’t know where she went.”
“Do you two not get along or something?”
“Of course not! Don’t get the wrong idea, dear customer. Tell you what, for my sister’s sake, I’ll give you a special discount on the flowers—lowest price, only 15% off. How about that?”
Paimon looked excited at first, then paused. “Wait a minute… Fifteen percent off? Isn’t that actually more expensive?!”
Flora gave a sweet smile. “If you think it’s too expensive, you don’t have to buy.
But if you really plan to walk off with Flora’s book without buying anything… hehehe.”
“Lucky for you, I’m exactly that shameless!~ La la la~”
Zephyr cheerfully walked away, having scored a free book.
Flora was frozen in place. It took her a few seconds to process what had just happened.
“He actually didn’t buy anything? That shamelessness is unreal!”
---
Zephyr hadn’t gone far when the same passerby caught up to him.
“Hey, little lady, you’ve got guts!”
“Ahem, I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’m complimenting you.
That book? You’re not special—Flora gives it to anyone who looks new.
Back in my day, I couldn’t handle the guilt and ended up buying a Sweet Flower.
Biggest regret of my life.”
Paimon was stunned. “How is a shop like that still in business?”
They said goodbye to the man.
---
“Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild!”
Paimon asked, “And you are…?”
“Me? I’m Katheryne, the receptionist of the Mondstadt branch of the Adventurers’ Guild.
I’m in charge of issuing commissions and providing intel support to all local adventurers.
By the way, the Guild’s services run year-round—no holidays!”
Lumine asked, “So what exactly does the Adventurers’ Guild do?”
“The Adventurers’ Guild is an organization established to support adventurers across all seven nations.
It helps new adventurers get used to life on the road, while giving veterans the freedom to explore at will.
We gather all kinds of complex intel passed between adventurers and turn it into suitable commissions for them to undertake.”
“I see.”
Zephyr thought to himself, The system already gave me four commissions. Can I still accept tasks from here too?
“Miss Katheryne, may I take on a commission?”
“Of course! Adventurer Lumine, was it? Hmm… Sorry, I just checked your record—you already have four active commissions.
According to Guild regulations, you can’t accept any more at the moment.”
“Ah… got it.”
Katheryne added, “Of course, that rule only applies to commissions issued by us, the Guild.
If it’s a private commission, you can accept as many as you want—we won’t interfere.
Still, my personal advice is to complete your current tasks first. Otherwise, you risk running out of time and failing them.
Most tasks aren’t a big deal, but some failed missions could end up costing you Mora.”
