When Ningguang discovered the bag of Mora, she was completely stunned.
Why was there so much Mora in the meal box??
Immediately after, Ningguang found a letter under the money bag.
Opening it, she saw it was a message Makoto had written to her.
The general meaning was that Makoto was lending her 50,000 Mora to alleviate her family's financial pressure.
Although it was a loan, Makoto did not specify a repayment date.
He told Ningguang not to worry about repaying the money, but to first use it to get her body healthy.
Once Ningguang earned money in the future, she could then repay the amount.
After Ningguang finished reading the letter, she felt a lump in her throat, and tears, once again, uncontrollably flowed down her face.
Because no one had ever cared for her with such thoughtfulness and consideration as Makoto.
Makoto was helping her by lending money, and at the same time, he preserved her self-respect.
Actually, Ningguang wanted to say that Makoto didn't need to be so good to her.
Because she was just a poor, ordinary little girl, too common to be special.
She wasn't worth Makoto being so good to her...
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to repay Makoto's kindness...
Ningguang secretly decided in her heart that since Makoto wanted her to be his guide tomorrow, she absolutely could not disappoint his expectations.
At the same time, she also had to work harder to earn money and strive to earn 50,000 Mora to return to Makoto as soon as possible.
At this moment, Ningguang's mother also noticed Ningguang secretly wiping away tears.
Worried about her daughter's emotions, she immediately stepped forward with concern and asked, "Girl, why are you crying again?"
"Actually, life and death are fated; this is something we all eventually have to face."
Ningguang wiped away her tears, looked up at her mother, and said, "Mom, don't say that; the money issue has been resolved."
"Here's 50,000 Mora; I'll go help you get the medicine tomorrow morning."
As she spoke, Ningguang also showed her mother the bag of Mora.
Ningguang's mother saw the heavy bag of Mora, first stunned, then her face filled with surprise.
"This, this..."
"Girl, how did you suddenly get so much money?"
Ningguang's mother had previously planned to give up on seeing a doctor.
After all, 50,000 Mora was a considerable sum for a family like theirs.
But she hadn't expected Ningguang to get 50,000 Mora in the blink of an eye!
It was... just incredible!
Ningguang explained to her surprised mother, "Mom, this money was lent to me by Brother Makoto."
"He hid the Mora in the meal box and left this letter."
Ningguang said, handing Makoto's letter to her mother.
Her mother carefully read the letter repeatedly several times.
Finally, with tears in her eyes, she gently stroked Ningguang's little head and admonished, "The Brother Makoto you spoke of is a kind person; I can feel it."
"We cannot forget his kindness. If we have the ability in the future, we must repay him."
Ningguang softly hummed in agreement; her thoughts aligned with her mother's.
Makoto had truly helped their family too much.
First, he bought all her Starconch.
Then, he exchanged expensive food from Wanmin Restaurant for her worthless grilled fish.
Finally, when her mother was seriously ill, it was Makoto who lent them life-saving money.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Makoto was their savior.
This kindness definitely had to be repaid.
It was just that Ningguang hadn't yet figured out how to repay him.
Because this kindness was too great and too heavy.
It seemed no matter how she repaid him, it wouldn't be enough...
For some reason, a thought suddenly popped into Ningguang's mind.
When this thought appeared, Ningguang was first stunned, then shook her head repeatedly.
What was she thinking about?
She shouldn't linger too long when passing by the storytelling place in the future.
She had heard too many strange words!
So much so that they unexpectedly popped into her mind.
Ningguang's pretty face was somewhat flushed, feeling as if it were burning.
She was still just a little girl who hadn't even started developing; how could she think about such chaotic things?
Seeing that it was late, Ningguang was already lying in bed, preparing to rest.
Because their family wasn't wealthy, both mother and daughter could only sleep on one bed.
Normally, Ningguang would fall asleep very quickly.
After all, selling goods during the day, walking and shouting, she was tired all day, both physically and mentally exhausted.
She could basically fall asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
But tonight, she couldn't fall asleep.
Because in her mind, Makoto's figure lingered.
She lay in bed, quietly looking at the moon outside the window.
She silently prayed for dawn to come quickly.
That way, she could be Makoto's guide and tour Liyue with him.
...
Meanwhile, on Makoto's side, as he walked along the prosperous area of Liyue Harbor, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
"Triggering Talent [What is Scattered Will Return a Thousandfold], the host used 50,000 Mora, which has now been fully returned, and a 20x critical strike has occurred!"
"Congratulations, Host, you have gained 1,000,000 Mora!"
As the system's prompt sounded, Makoto watched his Mora balance instantly increase by one million.
He had to admit, this Talent was really amazing!
Makoto had only lent Ningguang 50,000 Mora, and as a result, he himself earned 1,000,000 Mora.
This felt very comfortable.
With this Talent, Makoto would probably become a wealthy merchant in Liyue just by spending money.
Then, he could have poor little Ningguang be his secretary, using money to make more money.
Wouldn't life become more comfortable?
How to choose between superpowers and money power?
The answer is that only children make choices; I, Makoto, want them all!
With 1,000,000 Mora now, Makoto was not satisfied.
He still wanted to continue investing in Ningguang; firstly, he could make money, and secondly, he could increase Ningguang's friendship to obtain rewards.
It was truly killing two birds with one stone.
What a wonderful thing it was.
Makoto planned to use the excuse of touring Liyue tomorrow to trick Ningguang into becoming his secretary.
After that, he would take Ningguang to buy a set of clothes and shoes.
After all, the little girl herself was fair and clean, very cute.
She should wear pretty little dresses, not coarse cloth clothes.
At the same time, Ningguang couldn't walk barefoot on the ground anymore; how much it would hurt her skin!
He absolutely had to take good care of the little girl's feet.
Makoto wasn't thinking of anything else; he was simply considering Ningguang's well-being.
That's right, that's it!
With a detailed plan in mind, Makoto also decided to find a place to settle down and rest.
After all, he had just transmigrated and currently had no fixed abode, so he could only lodge somewhere.
But fortunately, Makoto was not short on money now, and there were enough inns in Liyue.
Makoto easily found an inn that looked quite good.
As he approached, he heard the innkeeper's voice.
"Guest, are you here to stay?"
"Our establishment is a good choice, you know."
Makoto instinctively raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a little surprised.
The voice sounded a bit familiar, like someone he often conversed with in the game.
He looked up.
The innkeeper was an intellectual woman wearing a light purple long dress with her Horsetail falling over her shoulder.
The woman looked very mature and charming.
Her eyes were captivating and alluring, her gaze flowing.
Ying'er!
Makoto recognized her as Ying'er at a glance!
