Having figured this out, Zhongli took everyone on a tour of Mt. Tianheng. They repaired the damaged Guizhong Ballista and defeated a group of Treasure Hoarders, but they couldn't find any trace of a Cocogoat. Forget Cocogoats, they didn't even see a single goat on Mt. Tianheng.
Just as everyone was returning, disappointed and empty-handed, Yuto in the group suddenly seemed to remember something. "Wait, I think I know what Qiqi wants!"
Everyone followed Yuto back to Liyue Harbor, where he bought a bottle of iced coconut milk from a vendor.
"Huh? Yuto, this isn't a Cocogoat!"
"Coconut milk is Qiqi's favorite drink, but she can't have it every day. She probably thought that coconut milk came from a so-called Cocogoat, so she wants one so she can drink coconut milk every day."
"So that's why? No wonder I've never heard of such a creature as a Cocogoat. It turns out it was made up by little Qiqi."
When Yuto and his group returned to Bubu Pharmacy with the coconut milk, Qiqi immediately ran out when she saw the coconut milk in Yuto's hand, took it, and drank it down.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces first showed helplessness, then a relieved smile. For such an innocent little girl, no one would truly be angry.
"Qiqi, coconut milk doesn't come from a Cocogoat. If you want to drink it, just tell me."
Qiqi nodded while drinking the coconut milk, but it was unclear if she was listening. Even if she heard, with Qiqi's memory, she would probably forget very quickly.
At this moment, a person with a snake wrapped around his neck walked back from outside the door: "Oh? So many guests? Hello, I am Baizhu, the owner of Bubu Pharmacy. How can I help you?"
"Owner, do you sell everlasting incense in your esteemed shop?"
"Everlasting incense? Of course! Of course! Three million Mora, top quality."
"Three million? You might as well rob the Golden House, but the Golden House is currently requisitioned by the Qixing, so it will probably be harder to rob than usual."
The Golden House is the only mint in Liyue, and also the only mint in all of Teyvat. All the Mora circulating in the world is produced from the Golden House, which is part of the God of Geo's clearance. It is precisely for this reason that Liyue has become the most prosperous of The Seven Nations, hailed as the heart of gold.
"Three million, it doesn't sound like much at first, but from a generally rational perspective, it is indeed a bit difficult."
"Considering you were playing with Qiqi, I'll give you a discount. How about two million nine hundred ninety thousand Mora?"
"What's the difference between that and three million?"
"Hahahahaha, so that's what a Cocogoat is all about, it's hilarious."
A hearty laugh came from outside the door. Everyone turned to look and saw that the sucker, Childe, was leaning against a pillar outside Bubu Pharmacy, laughing heartily.
"Given how amusing this is, I won't haggle. Three million it is. After all, money can't buy my happiness."
Childe paid the money cheerfully and then left in a hurry, as if his appearance was only to help everyone pay. His identity as a wallet was confirmed.
As for the reason for his swift departure, it was, of course, because during his eavesdropping, he had already gathered the information he most desired.
Since the Golden House is now requisitioned by the Qixing, there can only be one reason for this requisition: to conceal the remains of Lord Rex Lapis. This also explains why the Fatui searched every conceivable place in Liyue but still couldn't find the remains of Lord Rex Lapis.
