This item was something she had pulled from the Jar Shop earlier.
The shopkeeper said it was milk with benefits.
As for what benefits, the shopkeeper indicated he didn't know either.
She had already experienced the magic of the Soul Staff and the De-thickening Needle she pulled from the Jar Shop.
The Soul Staff could knock a person's soul out.
The De-thickening Needle could make things thin and flat.
So she began to focus on the other items.
Besides the Soul Staff and the De-thickening Needle, the things she pulled from the shop included a Flaming Flower Stamen, Adventure Tea, this special milk, a Fire Dragon Egg, and a Speaker that never ran out of power. She would study that thing later.
Right now, she was more interested in this milk. The shopkeeper said drinking it had benefits, and she wanted to see what they were.
"Director!"
At this moment, Old Meng shouted from downstairs, "When will you be done? Do you want to use the De-thickening Needle to clean the furniture in the back of Wangsheng?"
"In a bit, don't rush."
Hearing Old Meng, Hu Tao replied loudly, "You guys clean the furniture first. Handle it yourselves. Let me know when there's an order for the Out-of-Body service."
"Okay."
Old Meng, on the first floor, heard Hu Tao's oriole-like voice, responded, and then headed to the back of the first floor.
Meanwhile, on the third floor.
Hu Tao took the bottle of golden liquid and popped the cap.
Instantly, a rich aroma of milk wafted out, making Hu Tao feel incredibly comfortable. She wanted to drink it all in one gulp.
"Gulp, gulp."
Hu Tao lifted the milk and drank. The fragrance of the milk continuously assaulted her taste buds and throat.
"Refreshing!"
Having drunk nearly half the bottle in one breath, Hu Tao only felt that the milk was delicious.
"Ah, I'm a bit sleepy."
Just after putting the milk down, Hu Tao suddenly felt drowsy.
"Did I not sleep well yesterday?"
Feeling a wave of sleepiness, Hu Tao yawned, remembering she only went to bed in the early morning.
"Catch up on sleep, catch up on sleep. Just a nap."
Setting the milk aside, Hu Tao crawled into bed, burrowed under the covers, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Within seconds, soft breathing could be heard.
...
While Hu Tao entered dreamland...
In the Jar Shop, Yanfei had adjusted her mindset and opened the second jar.
As the second jar opened, a black hat fell out.
"A hat!"
Seeing a hat come out this time, Yanfei looked delighted.
Another item she could use.
This hat looked quite nice, and the black color was good too.
[Confession Cap]: As long as you wear this hat, if you do not admit your mistakes within ten seconds, water will be poured on your head!
Seeing Yanfei pick up the hat and measure its size, Felix spoke slowly. "Confession Cap. As long as you wear this hat, if you do not admit your mistakes within ten seconds, water will be poured on your head. You can think of it as a lie detector cap."
"Eh?"
Hearing Felix's words, Yanfei, holding the hat, looked even more excited.
As Liyue's legal adviser, she ran around every day handling various cases: commercial disputes, civil mediations, criminal lawsuits... all kinds of things.
Naturally, she often encountered litigants who hemmed and hawed, hid information, or lied to her. It was very frustrating. Investigating took a lot of time, and case progress slowed down significantly.
Now, with this Confession Cap, she could directly test if someone was lying, speeding up her case resolution.
Her life as a legal adviser just got much easier.
"Yanfei, congratulations."
Xiangling, seeing this, chuckled and congratulated Yanfei.
This Confession Cap would be a huge help to Yanfei.
She knew Yanfei's profession and understood how useful this item would be.
"Mm."
Yanfei nodded heavily, then looked at Felix gratefully. "I still have to thank the shopkeeper. If he hadn't put such things in the jars, I wouldn't have gotten them."
She believed Felix completely.
Whether from what Xiangling said or the Bamboo Copter she just got, everything verified that Felix didn't lie.
Pulling the flying Bamboo Copter and this Confession Cap was like adding wings to a tiger.
All of this was thanks to the Jar Shop.
Felix ran the shop, so in her view, he must have personally put the items into the jars.
"It's just your luck."
Hearing Yanfei, Felix shook his head and laughed.
These guys really attributed everything in the jars to him.
Unfortunately, even he didn't know what was inside the ordinary jars. Everything was unknown.
He only needed to sell more jars to get Exclusive Jars, which were the only ones he could open.
What comforted him was that the items from Exclusive Jars were all top-tier, so he was satisfied and felt no imbalance.
"Again!"
Having pulled two good items in a row, Yanfei excitedly opened the remaining three jars.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three jars shattered, and one item fell out.
"Uh, two empty jars?"
Seeing that only one item fell out of the three jars, Yanfei paused.
Two empty jars?
My luck seems to have turned bad.
"Yanfei, your good luck ran out."
Beside her, Xiangling giggled. "Three jars and two were empty."
"It doesn't matter. I've already made a huge profit!"
Yanfei smiled brilliantly. "I'm satisfied just with this Confession Cap today. Even if the other jars are empty, it doesn't matter."
The biggest harvest today was the Confession Cap.
So she didn't care about the empty jars.
Even if the next jars were all empty, she could accept it.
She was just that easily satisfied!
Saying that, Yanfei looked at the item that had fallen out.
It was a red card with a red hexagram pattern on it.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?"
Yanfei looked curiously at the red card and asked Felix.
The red hexagram pattern on the card looked like a magic array.
[Monstrous Fire Sea Array Card]: A card sealing a fire array. Just throw it and activate it with fire to generate a fire array with a 20-meter diameter at the target location. Single-use item.
"A card sealing a fire array."
Reading the description, Felix chuckled. "It's quite useful for you. Throw it and activate it with fire to generate a fire array with a 20-meter diameter. It's a large-scale AoE attack array."
"It's actually an array."
Hearing Felix's words, Yanfei's eyes lit up.
Arrays were invaluable. Any array cost a fortune, and that was just for hiring someone to set it up.
An item sealing an array was even more valuable.
And she had actually pulled one.
Five jars, three useful items. It was a massive profit!
"Yanfei, your luck is good. Open five more jars."
Xiangling smiled. "You still have five jars left. If you don't open them, you can only buy ten next week. Jars don't accumulate."
"Mm, I know."
Yanfei nodded. She naturally knew what Xiangling meant.
She definitely had to open them. Even if the next five were empty, it didn't matter. She had already won big today.
"Boss, another five jars!"
Yanfei took off her red hat, pulled a bag of money from inside it, and handed it to Felix while speaking.
Felix: "..."
Seeing Yanfei's action, the corner of Felix's mouth twitched slightly.
This Yanfei actually hides money on top of her head.
500,000 Mora isn't light. Doesn't it weigh down her head?
Felix weighed the 500,000 Mora in his hand.
His gaze then shifted to the money bag hanging at Yanfei's waist.
Did she not use that bag because it has even more money?
After all, that bag is in a more convenient spot.
"Shopkeeper, I want those five jars."
Seeing Felix looking at her, seemingly staring at her thigh, a trace of rosy blush appeared on Yanfei's fair face. She felt shy.
Why is the shopkeeper staring at my fair thighs? It's making me shy.
Suppressing her shyness, she selected five jars.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Yanfei suddenly blush, Felix raised an eyebrow. What's wrong with Yanfei? Why is she blushing all of a sudden?
Don't get it.
Felix shook his head and beckoned to the jars Yanfei selected. Five jars flew out steadily and landed in front of her.
"Phew!"
Looking at the five jars, Yanfei took a deep breath, focusing entirely on them.
She didn't rush to open them.
The jars wouldn't run away, so there was no need to hurry.
Meanwhile.
In a resident square in Liyue, Li Zhilong held the kite excitedly, looking around for a spot to place it.
"Hey, Li Zhilong, why are you so happy? What are you doing here? Flying a kite?"
"You said just now it wasn't an ordinary kite. What does that mean? Explain it to us. Can a kite really be extraordinary?"
"Yeah, Li Zhilong, tell us."
...
The people following Li Zhilong asked curiously.
In their view, Li Zhilong's happiness meant he must have pulled something good from the Jar Shop.
But he was just holding a kite that looked completely ordinary.
Li Zhilong claimed it wasn't ordinary, but how extraordinary could a kite be?
Li Zhilong didn't respond, leaving them annoyed and helpless.
