Time: 🕑
Location: Liyue Harbor, Bubu Pharmacy
Status: Normal

We visit the Bubu Pharmacy to buy the Everlasting Incense that Zhongli Mention. However this place almost deserted.

Paimon: Huh, the reception is deserted. And it seems kinda spooky in here...

Kayden: For a small place like this doesn't give me spooks. I played too much Horror Maps

Paimon: Hello? is anybody there?

???: Welcome to Bubu Pharmacy.

Kayden Quickly brought out the Super Shotgun with high alertness, checking every angle he looked.

Kayden: Ah! Who said that?!

Zhongli: The reception, it seems.

Kayden Points at the Counter.

Kayden: wait, someone was there?

Zhongli: Most Likely, Yes..

Kayden: Aether, wanna go take a peek?

Aether: Sure.

We Peek Over the Counter and there was a smol person.

Kayden: eh?

Aether and Paimon's Live Reaction

ID Name: Qiqi

Paimon: oh, There you are! But you can't even reach the counter!

Aether: Paimon, if we're going to talk about height, you ahh...

Kayden: She actually floats, the height doesn't even matter though.

Paimon: He's got a point. Anyway, There's something weird about this one over here. What's that talisman doing on her forehead? It Can't be.... She's... a zombie!?

Kayden spend thousand hours playing L4D2 since childhood and seeing a loli zombie name qiqi makes him feel anxious. This is the cutest zombie for the first time in his life.

Kayden: O_O ← The Guy who Played L4D2 And SAS 4

Qiqi: Welcome to Bubu Pharmacy, My name is Qiqi. Once upon a time, Qiqi died. Then, Qiqi was saved by the adepti. Now, Qiqi is a zombie.

Aether: Does zombies count as an adepti?

Paimon: Something like this would be unimaginable in Mondstadt..

Kayden: Atleast she doesn't crave for brains.

Zhongli: uh.. Hello... Little Girl. Do you sell Everlasting Incense here?

Qiqi: Excuse me, sir. Did you bring your prescription?

Zhongli: I... Surely no prescription is needed to purchase Everlasting Incense? It's not a controlled substance...

Qiqi: Qiqi can get your medicine. But only if you show Qiqi your prescription. These are Qiqi's orders, from Qiqi.

Kayden: wai- wut?

Kayden is a bit confused, of 1 person managing the Bubu Pharmacy with some kind of short term memory loss? or her memories are jumbled and easily forget due to being a zombie for long period of time. He feel kinda sad for her.

Qiqi: Go to Mt. Tianheng. Find the Guizhong Ballista. And Hunt a Cocogoat. Please and Thank you.

Kayden: cocogoat on Mt. Tianheng?

Zhongli: huh. Guizhong Ballista... I have heard of this device before. It is a kind of Crossbow turret, installed on Mt. Tianheng by an adeptus in the distant past. An early mechanical device.

Kayden: Was it useful to hunt a Cocogoat? I mean, I never know what it looks like.

Zhongli: It's not design for hunt. It was designed to automatically fire at large monsters, protecting Liyue from external threats.

Paimon: Mr. Zhongli really knows Liyue inside out!

Zhongli: Apparently not quite.... This is the first I have ever heard of the "Cocogoat"

Qiqi: The Cocogoat is a legendary animal. An adeptibeast.

Paimon: did you wanna add anything else, or....

Qiqi: No, Just that the Cocogoat is a legendary animal. An adeptibeast. What it looks like: Don't know. Where to find it: Don't know either. Where it come from: also don't know.

Kayden: We are getting "knowhere" for this..

Zhongli: Very well then... Let's start by investigating near the Guizhong Ballista. Perhaps we will find some clues.

Paimon: *sigh* What the heck is a Cocogoat.

(Timeskip)

Location: Liyue, Mt. Tianheng

On Mt. Tianheng, Looking at the Big broken wooded Ballista to investigate, The cocogoat comes in second when spotted.

Paimon: It's Huge! Paimon can totally believe it took an adeptus to build this.

Kayden: its way bigger than my Ballista p_p

Paimon: But... how do you operate this thing? Just think how much strength you would need.

Kayden: But i can take it, but this weapon im looking at was not my style.

Zhongli: Hmm.. It is currently inoperable, in any case. This device is broken.

Paimon: Aw, what? it broke!?

Zhongli: After Millennia of wear and tear, even adepti contraptions are difficult to maintain.

Paimon: So what're we gonna do? quick, Mr. Zhongli, use your unlimited high-society knowledge power!

Zhongli: Hmm. You almost make it sound like I'm some sort of... bourgeois parasite, whose only utility lies in providing quaint pieces of trivia on demand. That said, let me think for a moment... Ah yes. Spare parts were made for the Guizhong Ballista when it was first built, in case it was damaged in battle. As I recall, there is a military supply post from that periodd somewhere inside the Pass. If we can retrieve the spare parts from where they are stored, we may be able to repair the Guizhong Ballista. One just needs to understand the basic working principles of the device.

Paimon: So... What you're saying is that you actually understand the working principles?

Zhongli: I have a smattering of knowledge on the topic. With the parts in hand, I could at least tinker with it. Kayden, go fetch some parts around the Mt. Tianheng.

Kayden: um.. are you sure? cause i don't know which-

Paimon: But you can able to see through The Amber Inside.

Kayden: *sigh* okay.. 

Activating the Intelligent HUD to look some Missing Guizhong Ballista parts and jumps off, Aether comes along with Kayden to Assist.

After That, I Handed some parts to Zhongli so he can fix the Guizhong Ballista.

Zhongli: These parts looks useful.. One Moment, I will try to repair the device...

Kayden: If i was an Engie Main, I could have fix that too.

5 Minutes Later

Zhongli Finally repaired the Guizhong Ballista.

Zhongli: It is done. The Guizhong Ballista is more intricately designed than I thought.

Paimon: Woo! Now how do we turn it on?

Kayden: wait, this thing can fire automatically itself?

Zhongli: It's easy enough. We simply need to do this... Look, it even has a scope.

Paimon check the scope on the Guizhong Ballista, the moment she look at the scope closer on 180 degree, we spotted some people down here.

ID Name: Freckle Huang

Freckle: Hey! Just what do you think you're doing!? So, you've fixed up this turret... because you're planning to do what, exactly!?

Zhongli: Not a turret, A Guizhong Ballista. Also, kindly state your name before you ask a question, It's just a good manners.

Freckle: Hah! Are you blind or something? You're looking at the leader of the Treasure Hoarders, old man! This area's supposed to be chock-full of hidden treasures, but you can't get anywhere near them with this thing keeping what. it might look like any other mechanical device, but trust me, it's got a mind of its own! Last time we approached the mountain, it nearly skewered one of our guys.. A Few of us risked our lives to disarm it - which, amazingly, we managed - and then we turn our backs for two seconds and you've ALREADY GONE AND REPAIRED IT!? The next thing you'll be repairing is your faces, and that's if you get out of this alive!

Kayden points at the Treasure Hoarders with question mark.

Kayden: Seriously who is this guy?

Freckle: *shout* Are you Deaf?!

Kayden: Ofc I'm not, you just boast yourself the title of "The leader of the Treasure Hoarders" and didn't even ask your real name, am i wrong?

Freckle: Tch! That doesn't matter anyway, Get Them!

6-8 Treasure Hoarders are charging in with Melee weapons, crossbows and throwing knifes or Kunai. idk cause i can't see clearly what small things that can be throwable in-game.

Kayden: You three might wanna cover your ears.

Zhongli: You mean those loud things happening back in Dadaupa Gorge?

Kayden: as the Matter infact, Yes. cause when im beside, this is going to be loud as hell, so get ready.

Aether, Paimon and Zhongli Cover their ears, Kayden Brought Out Sasha, Mobile Sentry Version. On Full Offense, Revs Up Sasha and start mowing down each every Single Treasure Hoarder that comes in my way.

Kayden: YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Treasure hoarders force to retreat in fear of no chance of winning, few were taken down while others are trying to cover.

Treasure Hoarder: What the Hell was that?!

Treasure Hoarder: This is even more worse than the last time!

Freckle: Shut Up and Keep Running!

They barely manage to escape from Kayden's Sasha due to lack of accuracy in long range.

Kayden: All of you are Babies!
