"See?"
Watching Ningguang's and Keqing's expressions change, Felix spoke calmly.
"But... how does the rain even appear?"
Keqing's face twisted in confusion. "Nothing can be created from nothing!"
This was the first time she had witnessed something so absurd.
Things didn't just appear out of nowhere. Everything had a source, a traceable origin.
She even activated her elemental sight, but there was no trace of elemental energy.
Just water, materializing from thin air and dripping down.
Keqing closed the umbrella in disbelief.
The moment the canopy shut, the rain vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
If not for the damp spots on the floor, she would have thought it was all a hallucination.
But the wet ground and what she had just witnessed told her this was real. Not a dream.
"I also checked my elemental sight. I couldn't detect how the water was created either. Let's just... accept it."
Ningguang shook her head. "The items from these jars are always strange and inexplicable. This isn't the weirdest thing we've seen."
Ningguang had initially been just as shocked, but then she remembered the Devil Fruit, the Eternal Youth Pill, and the economics book.
Compared to those, this umbrella was nothing.
"Oh."
Hearing Ningguang's words, Keqing snapped out of it.
Right. She had seen the power of the Devil Fruit firsthand.
Whether it was the bizarre abilities of the Devil Fruit or the economics manual that was reshaping Liyue's economy, both were far more absurd than a rain umbrella.
Why was she overthinking this?
Keqing let the matter go and turned her attention to the final item: the scroll.
It didn't look ordinary.
She looked at Felix, waiting for his explanation.
"This scroll contains a sword technique. It's very suited to you."
Felix smiled at her. "It's called the Electro Blade Transformation Art. The cultivation method is written inside. You just need to follow the instructions and train accordingly. Nothing more to say."
"A sword technique!"
Keqing's eyes lit up with joy.
This was exactly what she needed.
Her swordsmanship had hit a bottleneck recently. She didn't know when she would break through.
And now, a sword technique scroll had fallen into her lap. This was a blessing.
Ningguang's incomplete book had already turned Liyue upside down and opened the door to a new world for both of them.
Keqing believed this sword scroll could elevate her swordsmanship to a whole new level.
Sword techniques were incredibly rare.
She had already mastered every famous style in Liyue, integrating them into her own unique form. She was far ahead of everyone else.
But now, no one could teach her anything new.
This mysterious sword cultivation scroll? She was certain it could help her.
Seeing Keqing's excitement as she picked up the scroll, Felix chuckled. "You still have five jars left. Might as well open them now and see what you get."
Keqing's luck had been quite good.
Two of the five items she pulled were excellent and perfectly suited to her. They far exceeded the value of 500,000 Mora.
In fact, these were things Mora couldn't buy.
"Okay."
Keqing nodded and, with slightly trembling hands, opened the remaining five jars.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The jars shattered. An item fell from each one.
"Congratulations in advance. Ten jars, and not a single empty one."
Seeing that every jar contained something, Felix smiled. "You've had quite the haul today."
"Shopkeeper, are you saying the jars can be empty?"
Ningguang's expression turned surprised.
Jars could be empty? This was the first she had heard of it.
Felix hadn't mentioned it yesterday, either.
And yesterday, neither she nor anyone else had pulled empty jars.
"That's correct."
Felix nodded. "The guy who left earlier? He bought three jars and pulled two empty ones. Nothing inside."
Keqing: "..."
Ningguang: "..."
So Childe had pulled empty jars. His luck really was terrible.
"Shopkeeper, could you please tell me what these five items are?"
Keqing gestured to the new items.
She recognized one of them as bread, but she didn't know if it was ordinary bread or something special.
Felix had already been examining the five items as they spoke.
