The moment Felix looked up, he saw Yanfei.
A beautiful young girl.
A red hat sat atop her coral-colored hair, which flowed down to her waist. From the sides of her head, white-to-yellow gradient antlers extended outward, symbolizing her half-illuminated beast heritage.
Her outfit was quite revealing, exposing her fair waist and long legs.
She wore a red and white scarf connected to a red top. Over her black skirt, she had a red sash tied with a yellow bow on the left. Her arms were adorned with white detached sleeves featuring red armored plates.
At first glance, Felix knew exactly who she was.
Liyue's top legal adviser—Yanfei.
"Is this the shopkeeper of the Jar Shop?"
Having followed Xiangling inside, Yanfei looked at Felix with curiosity.
He was indeed very young, seemingly around her age.
There was no trace of elemental power on him; he looked just like an ordinary person.
But Yanfei knew Felix was definitely not ordinary.
"Hello, Shopkeeper."
Looking at Felix, Yanfei proactively extended her hand and smiled. "I'm Yanfei, Liyue's top legal adviser. If you ever have any legal needs in the future, you can find me. Although, I have a feeling you won't need my help."
"Hello."
Felix nodded at the proactive Yanfei, shook her hand, and chuckled. "Since Xiangling brought you here, you should know the rules. One person can only buy ten jars per week, and each jar costs 100,000 Mora. Just choose whichever jars you want to open."
"Mm, I understand."
Yanfei nodded.
Xiangling had already explained everything on the way here.
"Bang!"
As Yanfei nodded, the person next to her smashed open a jar.
An item fell out of the shattered jar.
"Great! Something came out!"
Seeing the item, the person looked delighted.
Even though he didn't recognize what it was, getting something was better than getting nothing.
He knew there was a chance of pulling an empty jar.
As long as it wasn't empty, it was good.
The noise of him opening the jar also attracted the attention of Yanfei and Xiangling.
Both looked over curiously.
"Shopkeeper, what is this thing?"
The customer looked at Felix expectantly. "Is it worth more than 100,000 Mora?"
His minimum standard for the item was that it shouldn't be worth less than the cost of the jar.
It was a triangular object.
[Human-Flying Kite]: As long as you place this kite on the ground, the person holding the string will rise into the air.
Seeing this, Felix recognized it immediately. It was a gadget, currently in its shrunk form.
Felix reached out and touched it. The moment his finger made contact, the small triangular kite instantly expanded.
"Ah?!"
The sudden change startled the customer, who instinctively jumped back.
"A kite?"
Nearby, Xiangling and Yanfei saw the enlarged object and recognized it immediately. It was a kite.
"It's just a kite."
The customer looked at the enlarged kite with a depressed expression.
He had spent 100,000 Mora to open a jar, only to get a useless kite. What a huge loss.
"Its value exceeds 100,000 Mora."
Felix handed the kite to the customer and said, "This isn't an ordinary kite. It's a 'Human-Flying Kite'."
"Huh?"
Hearing Felix's words, the depressed customer gasped, his expression turning to shock.
What does that mean? Human-Flying Kite?
If he heard correctly, Felix just said its value exceeded 100,000 Mora!
This wasn't a normal kite!
Suddenly, the customer's face lit up with surprise.
"It's simple to understand. Normally, you fly a kite in the sky. But with this kite, the roles are reversed. The kite stays on the ground, and you fly up."
Felix chuckled. "This kite won't fly. You just place it on the ground, and by holding the string, you can control your flight distance in the sky. The longer the string, the higher and farther you fly."
"That amazing?!"
Hearing Felix's explanation, the customer's eyes widened. "Isn't that just a different way of flying?"
"You could understand it that way."
"That's awesome!"
Hearing this, the customer excitedly grabbed the kite. "Now I can try flying into the sky!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper!"
With a grateful expression, the customer thanked Felix and left the shop excitedly.
"Li Zhilong, how was it? What did you get?"
"Damn, you got a kite? And here I thought you pulled something good."
"Good thing I didn't open one. Otherwise, it would have been 100,000 Mora down the drain."
"Watching others open jars is so thrilling."
"Li Zhilong, why are you grinning like an idiot over a kite?"
...
When the customer walked out excitedly holding the kite, the people waiting outside saw him immediately.
Seeing the kite in Li Zhilong's hand, they instantly knew what he had pulled.
Some immediately gloated. 100,000 Mora for a kite? What a loss. Good thing they didn't try.
Others were puzzled by Li Zhilong's excited grin, wondering what was so great about a kite.
"Hmph."
Hearing their comments, Li Zhilong snorted. "The shopkeeper said this isn't an ordinary kite. I'll show you guys in a bit!"
This was a Human-Flying Kite, something that could make people fly!
He was going to test it later and blind these people with its awesomeness!
"Uh."
Hearing Li Zhilong's words, everyone froze.
Not an ordinary kite?
Then what kind of kite is it?
"This kite seems interesting."
Inside the shop, Xiangling looked intrigued. "Yanfei, if you pull something good later, you have to lend it to me to play with."
"Got it."
Yanfei nodded.
Then she took a bag of Mora from her pocket and handed it to Felix. "Shopkeeper, I'll start with five jars. The five on the far left."
As she handed over the money, she pointed to the jars.
"Sure."
Felix chuckled.
With a wave of his hand, the five jars on the far left floated out gently and landed in front of Yanfei.
He wanted to see if this beautiful girl had any hidden luck bonuses.
After all, she was a clever girl with illuminated beast blood.
Liyue's illuminated beasts seemed to possess a certain kind of luck.
"I'm opening them now!"
Seeing the jars in front of her, Yanfei smiled and smashed the first one with her codex.
"Crack."
The jar shattered, and a green object fell out.
It was a long piece of bamboo with two green rectangular bamboo blades extending from the top on either side.
"Bamboo?"
Seeing this, Yanfei instantly recognized that it was made of bamboo.
A bamboo product.
She just didn't know if it had any function.
Having seen the kite earlier, she knew things weren't always as useless as they appeared.
[Bamboo Copter]: Place it on your head. When the propeller spins, an anti-gravity field is generated around your body, cutting off the world's gravity and allowing you to float. Just think of the flight direction and speed in your mind, and your brainwaves will transmit the command to the high-tech device inside the Bamboo Copter. The propeller speed will change accordingly, altering the anti-gravity field and allowing you to fly freely.
Usage time: 8 hours. After exceeding 8 hours, it requires 20 hours to recharge automatically.
Seeing that Yanfei pulled the Bamboo Copter from her very first jar, Felix felt that her luck might surpass Hu Tao's.
Thinking this, Felix handed the Bamboo Copter to Yanfei. "Bamboo Copter. A tool that lets you fly. Just place it on your head, and it will let you fly. You can fly for eight hours. After that, it won't work and needs twenty hours to recharge automatically."
"A great start!"
Hearing Felix's words, Yanfei pumped her fist in joy.
Her first jar was a huge success, yielding a magical flight tool.
Without hesitation, Yanfei took the Bamboo Copter and placed it on her head.
When the Bamboo Copter settled on her hat, Yanfei felt a strange sensation.
It felt like she could move as she pleased.
With a thought, Yanfei's body slowly lifted off the ground and began to fly.
At the same time, the Bamboo Copter on her head started spinning.
As it spun faster, Yanfei flew higher.
"Bang!"
The next second, Yanfei's head hit the shop's ceiling, and she fell back to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Yanfei rubbed her head in pain.
"You idiot."
Xiangling caught the falling Yanfei and scolded her good-naturedly. "The shop is only so big. Even if you can fly high, where can you go? If you want to test it, just go outside later. And you call yourself clever—so thoughtless."
The shop was small, with a ceiling only four or five meters high. Yanfei hit it almost instantly.
"I got too excited and forgot to think."
Held by Xiangling, Yanfei patted her head in annoyance.
She had been too excited just now.
Felix chuckled, watching this cute scene without rushing Yanfei to continue.
The jars were already sold. She could open them whenever she was ready.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Third floor.
In her room, Hu Tao held a glass bottle filled with golden liquid.
This was the item she had pulled from the Jar Shop.
"The shopkeeper said drinking this has great benefits, but he didn't say what kind."
Hu Tao looked at the bottle in her hand and whispered, "Should I try it? It's just sitting here anyway."
