Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya-Chapter 124: Should Schrödinger’s Coffin Lid Be Held Down?

Chapter 124 - 124: Should Schrödinger's Coffin Lid Be Held Down?

"How about this crate?"

Beidou casually picked out a crate of decent-quality Sunsettia and opened it for Bai Luo to inspect.

Sunsettia were everywhere in the wild.

However, the better-looking and sweeter ones were often gathered by adventurers hired through the Adventurers' Guild and then sold for profit.

For most adventurers, experience and adventure rank mattered more than Mora.

So, even if gathering Sunsettia seemed to only benefit their employer, they were still happy to accept such tasks.

After all, picking Sunsettia wasn't dangerous, and they could even take the opportunity to snatch a few treasure chests from Hilichurls.

A win-win situation.

"How do they taste?"

Bai Luo glanced at the Sunsettia and asked hesitantly.

Because he knew—

One of these crates had been touched by him.

What if... what if something went wrong?

Like... what if it was a little too sour?

Beidou didn't overthink it.

She grabbed a Sunsettia from the crate and took a big bite.

Sweet, juicy nectar instantly filled her mouth.

Some of the juice even trickled down the corner of her lips— freeweɓnøvel.com

A sight that would make anyone's mouth water.

"You don't even need sugar when juicing this stuff—it's crazy sweet!"

Beidou gave a thumbs-up, clearly satisfied.

After all, she had personally chosen these, so the quality was bound to be excellent.

"Then, my thanks, Captain Beidou. How much for this crate?"

Bai Luo patted his wallet and asked.

This time, he had learned his lesson—

Before meeting Kazuha, he had specifically gone to the Northland Bank to withdraw a good amount of Mora.

Still, when traveling, spending a friend's money was always the most comfortable option.

"It's just a crate of Sunsettia—don't worry about it. Consider it a gift."

After finishing the fruit in her hand, Beidou had the crate sealed and handed it to Bai Luo.

She didn't take a single Mora from him.

Sunsettia weren't exactly a rare commodity.

Sometimes, when she ate at Wanmin Restaurant, the tip she left could almost buy half a crate.

It wasn't worth charging money for.

After thanking her, Bai Luo hefted the crate onto his shoulder and left the Alcor, heading into Liyue Harbor.

He wasn't worried at all that Beidou might abandon him here.

Based on the intelligence he had gathered—

Both Beidou and Ningguang seemed eager for him to leave Liyue as soon as possible.

Even if something urgent forced them to leave early,

if he didn't return, Beidou definitely wouldn't set sail.

After disembarking, Bai Luo walked through the bustling port and quickly noticed something off about the people following him.

They pretended to be shopping, even haggling with merchants—

Yet, after all this time, they hadn't actually bought anything.

Clearly... they were assigned to track him.

Even though Bai Luo had carefully orchestrated his exit from Liyue's turbulent political whirlpool, it was only natural that surveillance would still be in place.

After all, no country would want a soldier from a free nation wandering their streets freely.

Especially not someone like Bai Luo, who was essentially a soldier carrying a nuclear weapon.

This level of monitoring was understandable.

But understanding it didn't mean he would tolerate it.

So, after rounding a corner, his figure vanished completely.

The trackers exchanged confused glances, then split up—

A small group continued searching, while the others returned to report.

Meanwhile, in a neighboring street, a young man in a black trench coat squatted down with a smile, gently petting a stray dog.

The crate of Sunsettia had already been swapped out for a back basket, with some herbs placed on top to cover it.

"Good dog."

Bai Luo cautiously extended his right hand toward the stray dog in front of him.

"Woof!"

The dog was surprisingly intelligent.

As soon as it saw Bai Luo's hand, it immediately understood his intention.

It then lifted a hind leg, wagged its tail, and placed its paw right into his hand.

"???"

What the hell?

Whose dog is this?

So... enthusiastic?!

Maintaining a neutral expression, Bai Luo retracted his hand and casually rinsed it in a random bucket of water nearby.

Then, he grabbed a Sunsettia from his basket.

"Handsome dog!"

The dog instantly recognized the fruit and even gave a human-like grin.

Its tail wagged even harder, almost like a tiny motor had been installed.

Clearly, someone had fed it these before.

"Woof!"

Without hesitation, the dog chomped down on the Sunsettia.

For the first three seconds, it was chewing happily, even smacking its lips in delight.

But then—

At the three-second mark, its tail suddenly stopped wagging.

Then, it tucked its tail between its legs.

"Whimper..."

The dog froze mid-chew, its front paws desperately clawing at its own mouth as if it had just eaten something absolutely horrifying.

But no matter how much it scratched, its drool still dripped uncontrollably onto the ground.

"Whimper! WOOF WOOF!"

After struggling for a while, the dog realized it was futile.

Letting out a sorrowful whimper, it bolted away, and dove headfirst into the nearby river.

Several minutes later—

Even downstream, the sound of the dog's anguished howls could still be heard.

The kind of wails that sounded just like a Hilichurl who had been locked in the Akademiya's lecture hall for an entire night.

Bai Luo: "..."

No way.

Beidou had eaten this stuff just fine earlier—how did it turn out like this?!

Looking at the half-eaten Sunsettia in his hand, Bai Luo's gaze slowly shifted toward a nearby orange tabby cat.

The cat had been watching the show the whole time, licking its paw in amusement.

When it noticed Bai Luo staring at it, it didn't even feel threatened.

Instead, it tilted its head and let out an innocent little meow.

"Meow?"

A few minutes later—

Downstream, the dog's sorrowful wails were now accompanied by panicked cat screeches.

"This doesn't make sense..."

Bai Luo stared at the two Sunsettia, each now bearing distinct bite marks, and suddenly began to question reality.

Before Bai Luo touched this crate of Sunsettia, we could never be certain whether they were sweet or sour.

They existed in a quantum superposition of both flavors.

Only when someone tasted them would the superposition collapse into a definitive sweet or sour state.

Originally, Bai Luo had assumed that since Beidou had eaten one and confirmed its sweetness, all the other fruits should have been permanently set to sweet.

But reality had just proven him wrong.

His ability went beyond Schrödinger's cat—

Even after the fruit's taste had already been observed and determined, he could still change it.

In other words—

No matter how sweet the fruit was before, if he touched it, it would only have one possible taste left.

Sour.

Hiss...

Bai Luo's Sunsettia—truly terrifying.

Even Schrödinger's coffin lid wouldn't be able to stay shut after this.
