It's not that Xiao is unfamiliar with the mall, it's just that it's too big!
This store is probably several times the size of Liyue. Xiao stood there blankly for a while, then seemed to have made up his mind and stepped inside.
"Welcome! What would you like?" As soon as Xiao entered, a sweet-looking robot greeted him with a formulaic smile. "We offer a variety of services to ensure your satisfaction." "Really... do you have alcohol?" Xiao thought for a moment before asking. The beautiful robot nodded and said, "Of course. What are your usual preferences, sir?" "A little of everything, please," Xiao said.
"Okay, I recommend you come to the fourth floor. The fourth floor is a dedicated beverage area. If you'd like something a bit more upscale, you can go to the nineteenth floor. The elevator is over there. Would you like me to show you the way?" The beautiful robot's enthusiasm startled Xiao. "Ah, no, thank you..." Xiao blushed and ran away.
"Okay, dear, please remember to give me a five-star review (づ￣ 3￣)づ~" The beautiful robot's voice still echoed in my ears behind me.
Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after entering the mall. There were quite a few people around, which helped to hide Xiao in the crowd, saving him from feeling uncomfortable.
On the fourth floor, as expected, was the beverage section. The sheer variety of drinks and alcohol made Xiao's head spin. After a moment's thought, he decided to take a little of everything. He watched how others carried theirs—hmm, just grab them and put them in a basket. There seemed to be baskets near the entrance. Xiao went back and grabbed a basket.
"This, and this too." Wendy likes cider, which is available in the Federation, although it's not from Dawn Winery, but the taste shouldn't be too different. Xiao thought, but the basket was getting fuller and fuller, almost overflowing. "Looks like I've taken too much." Xiao looked at the nearly full basket, then at the wines on the shelf, and gave up the idea of taking any more.
When it came time to pay, Xiao saw that it was all self-checkout. He looked at the wine in the basket, then at the black card, and tentatively held the black card out. Oh, thankfully, it worked.
After settling the bill, Xiao put all the wine into the Eye of God and then planned to look around at other places.
It must be said that although the mall is large, it has a wide variety of products and intelligent navigation. Although these features are designed for elderly users, Xiao found them very easy to use. When you search for what you want to buy in the search bar, the floor where the product is located and how to get there will pop up, which is quite user-friendly.
The problem is, this is designed for elderly users, and for a young person like Xiao to use it in front of him... well, at least outwardly, it looks very incongruous. Despite receiving many stares, Xiao remained calm and collected, searching for what he wanted to buy, then heading to the corresponding floor, finally completing his purchase.
Back at the base, Wendy was still asleep. Xiao brought out all the alcohol and bought a lot of food on this trip. The gene tempering agent would take some time to be available, so these few days were a rare vacation. Although it wasn't long, after the vacation, it would be back to the incredibly boring training.
Wendy slept for a whole day. When she woke up, Xiao was sleeping next to her, and the table was covered with bottles of liquor. Stretching, trying not to wake Xiao, Wendy tried to get out of bed, but Xiao seemed to sense the movement and immediately opened his eyes. "Oops, did I wake you?" Wendy scratched her head. Xiao, who had been quite alert, squinted, shook his head, yawned, and went back to sleep after seeing Wendy.
The alcohol must have been bought by Xiao for himself. Waaah, Xiao is so kind. If it were Grandpa Zhong, he probably wouldn't be able to drink any alcohol for several years, at least not until he returns to Mondstadt!
Xiao is better.
Wendy held the bottle of wine, thinking.
Wendy yawned, wondering if the wine Xiao bought was any good. Well, she wasn't fully awake yet, but she had slept enough. Wendy patted her chubby little face to wake herself up a bit, then went to get some cold water and washed her face, finally managing to sober up quite a bit.
Although she really wanted to drink, Wendy hadn't eaten all day and was a little hungry. Well, all I can say is that her appetite was kicking in.
I always feel like I can't muster any energy if I don't eat something.
I went to the cafeteria and ate something nice, but frankly, it was just a nutritional supplement. The taste wasn't great, but it filled my stomach. It was a very strange thing.
If Wendy could crack this thing, bring it back to Teyvat, and sell it, wouldn't that be some extra income? Wendy's calculations were going on and on, but they weren't really going to make much of a difference.
Putting aside whether it's possible to crack the code, even if it were, could we find alternative ingredients in Teyvat?
Wendy took the nutrient solution and then started planning where to go for a stroll.
Although the old man did not specify how many days of rest would be taken, Wendy asked others and they said that it was possible to rest for four days. After four days, training would resume. Most people would choose to go back to visit their relatives at this time, or if their relatives were too far away, they would go out to play in groups.
Wendy even shamelessly asked for a travel guide, and now is the perfect time to put that guide to good use!

The Federation erupted in cheers, while the Alliance was met with gloom.
Not only was their own major general captured alive, but the Federation also demanded an exorbitant ransom, seemingly convinced that they couldn't afford it. In short, the price was ridiculously high.
The entire alliance fell silent, with a few radical old men even suggesting that they simply continue with the plan.
The old man in the high position in the alliance didn't speak, but turned to ask the woman behind him, "Sir, what do you think?" "What do I think? Ha, what can I think? The alliance is indeed rotten to the core. Even a major general would underestimate the enemy. What do you expect me to think?"
Without knowing the strength of both sides, do you really think you're invincible just because you've refined your genes? I can't comment on that kind of thinking.
Also, the opposing team had some skilled players like me this time, but I didn't expect them to be on the field in the very first match.
It seems the plan needs adjustment. How about this: five days from now, let's use these few days to rest and recharge, and boost everyone's morale. Let's not let our spirits be worn down before the battle even begins." The woman spoke with a strong and resonant voice, possessing a captivating charm that compelled others to believe her.
"Yes, sir, I will obey your orders." The old man nodded.
If Wendy were there, she would have recognized the woman immediately.
It's really frustrating that we ended up meeting again after all this time.

I'm thinking of making a stab (a wicked thought suddenly popped into my head).
