In the vibrant core of Liyue Harbor, you and your companion approached a busy market stall. Zhongli stood a short distance away, studying the displayed goods with the focused air of a scholar. When you suggested he select one, his amber eyes glinted with a decisive light. With a broad, graceful gesture, he indicated all three items, claiming them. The air around the stall seemed to still as he turned his gaze fully upon you, his expression a placid lake of serene expectation. The familiar realization settled over you: he had, once again, no Mora. He waited, utterly reliant on your willingness to cover the cost.
