"Right, right! By the way, how are the wages at your shop?"

"It's okay."

How much more can be added?

"It's just average."

"how many?"

Amber kept pressing for answers.

There was no other way but to tell her.

"Our basic salary is 10,000 mora per month."

"Huh? The base salary is already ten thousand?"

"This is the base salary for a regular waiter/waitress. A bartender like Diona has a higher base salary."

"higher……"

“We also have bonuses.”

"bonus?"

"As long as we don't slack off, the boss will give us the highest bonus, which is 10,000 mora."

"That's twenty thousand then?"

"Ah."

"Giving out so much money?"

"Our store is doing good business, you've had rainbow juice before."

"Rainbow juice is really delicious..."

"Our working hours are from 9 am to 5 pm, we never work overtime, and we get a day off on holidays."

"..."

"Everyone gets free meals and accommodation; the boss will cook for us."

"..."

"You can get a massage from the boss every night and enjoy the employee price."

"..."

"By the way, the boss gives us year-end bonuses. Does your Knights Order have year-end bonuses?"

"..."

Amber sighed.

"We don't have year-end bonuses. The Knights almost couldn't pay everyone's wages at the end of last year..."

"Is the finance situation really that bad?"

"Because of the dragon disaster last year, but we still managed to recover in the end, thanks to Commander Qin."

"The ensemble leader is very capable."

"Uh-huh!"

After chatting for a while, the contestants went over to warm up, check their Wind Wings, and begin preparing for the competition.

Xia Zhen was in an exceptionally good mood today because her soul had been fully restored and she could be resurrected tomorrow.

She curiously observed the other people at the competition, her gaze finally settling on a bustling stall not far away.

That was a stall owned by an acquaintance.

Dolly, the short merchant from Sumeru.

Xia Zhen pointed to the spot with her best friend, and Xia Ci glanced over there, also showing some interest.

The two of them ran over together to see what was going on.

A moment later, the two of them ran back, found Mona, and said to her, "Do you want to make a lot of money?"

Mona looked completely bewildered: "Make a lot of money? What do you mean, make a lot of money?"

Xia Ci looked at her: "Aren't you always short of money?"

Mona immediately retorted, "No! I've never been short of money!"

Xia Ci didn't want to expose her, and said, "Fine, fine, you have money, so do you want to be even richer?"

Mona asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"

Xia Zhen pointed to the stall over there and said, "You know Dolly, right? She runs a betting shop over there."

Mona was taken aback: "Odds?"

Xia Ci nodded: "It's about having people bet on the contestants, who will be first, second, and third... If you bet on them correctly, she will return double your Mora."

Mona gasped: "Double!?"

Xia Zhen asked in a low voice, "Didn't you predict the champion of today's competition yesterday? With such prophetic foresight, you can just pick up this money anywhere, right?"

Mona instinctively refused: "No, astrologers must focus on studying the stars. If their minds are disturbed by worldly matters, it will affect their judgment. Astrology is serious knowledge used to understand reality and observe destiny, not for gambling..."

Xia Ci looked at her: "You mean, you don't want this free money?"

Mona hesitated for a moment: "This..."

If she had just come down from the mountain, she would definitely have rejected this money-making suggestion without hesitation.

But now, her resolve has wavered slightly.

It's not that her consistent beliefs have changed, but rather that those astrology instruments are simply too expensive. Before, at home, she used her grandmother's instruments anyway, so she didn't care if they broke. But now, when she's out and about, she has to pay for them herself.

If I relied solely on that small amount of royalties, I wouldn't have to worry about food and daily necessities, but I simply couldn't afford astrology equipment.

An astrologer without astrological instruments is like a normal person without hands; they simply cannot conduct any astrological research...

Xia Ci whispered, "This isn't gambling, it's charity. You can donate half of what you earn to Mondstadt later. It's like taking from the people and giving back to the people. Look at their buildings, they're all dilapidated and they don't have the money to repair them..."

Mona thought it made sense: "Um... these buildings really need some repairs... shall we go over there now..."

"Hey, you can't go over there."

"why?"

“You bought a crystal ball from Dolly. Dolly knows you and knows you're an astrologer, so she definitely won't let you place a bet.”

"That……"

"Tell us the results of your divination, and we'll find a local to help us buy the tickets. Don't bet too much, or it will attract attention."

"it is good."

Although Dolly's items were expensive, her service was excellent.

The item was broken, and Mora, worth 600,000, offered a refund without hesitation.

Mona nodded, leaned closer to Xia Ci and Xia Zhen, and whispered the divination results to them.

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen were also a little surprised after hearing this: "The champion is actually her... Zhu Zi, do you want to earn some pocket money?"

We're all good sisters who've taken baths together, so let's share the meat!

After obtaining Mora, Xia Ci walked to the side and waved in one direction: "Captain Kaeya!"

A young man wearing an eye patch approached: "Miss Xia Ci, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted you to help me go over there and make a deposit."

"Oh, I understand. Who should we bet on?"

"Contestant number 68, Xianyun."

"Are all these Mora stakes on her alone?"

"Ah."

"It seems that Miss Xia Ci is very confident in her companion's abilities."

Kaiya nodded and took the money bag.

As he left, he glanced at Xia Ci one more time and felt that Xia Ci's demeanor seemed to have become more mature than yesterday, and her figure seemed to have grown taller as well.

It doesn't seem like an illusion.

Kaiya didn't ask any more questions and silently walked towards Dolly's stall.

Xia Ci returned to everyone's side and said with a smile, "It's all done."

Xia Zhi stood quietly to the side, enjoying the breeze, and did not participate in this activity to earn pocket money.

It's not that he wasn't interested, but he felt a little guilty because he had just broken several of someone's good crystal balls a couple of days ago while trying to have some fun.

...I'll have to find another opportunity to make it up to her later.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, the flying competition began.
