Takumi hadn't had any contact with Venti at this point in time.
This Wind God, who wasn't exactly business-savvy, didn't affect Takumi's meal.
Only...
Five thousand Mora wasn't something that could easily be taken out.
It was indeed Barbatos, the God of Wind, one of the poorest gods in Teyvat!
As we all know, among the three gods who have appeared in the Teyvat continent so far—Zhongli, Venti, and Ei—these three were the ones who really couldn't come up with a Mora together.
Therefore, for these three gods, players would jokingly say that they couldn't take out a Mora. They were always involved in various tricks or playing around.
"Boss, I'll have a bowl of ramen!"
Outside the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Venti pondered for a long time, embarrassed.
Finally, he made up his mind!
From tomorrow's drink money, he'd save a little and use it to eat a bowl of freshly made ramen!
This Yile Ramen was something he had never heard of before!
After being away for a while, Sarah had developed a new dish?
"Ah? Yes, it's you, Venti! Are you back today?"
Sarah noticed Venti and greeted him without hesitation.
After all, Venti, who should be a fool, still had a group of fans in Mondstadt.
His appearance was indeed very attractive to Mondstadt's young ladies.
Soon, a bowl of Yile Ramen, delicious in both color and flavor, was ready and handed over to Venti.
Venti sniffed the aroma, and the saliva immediately started to flow, followed by two quick slurps.
A bowl of ramen was devoured in an instant.
It seemed like there was more to say.
"Tasty!" Venti exclaimed.
After eating and drinking, Venti instantly became happy! He completely forgot about the issue with Stormterror, Twalin, and then turned his attention to Sarah.
"Boss, when did you develop this new dish? I didn't see it a few days ago."
Venti was curious.
Generally speaking, ramen was something that the people of Liyue liked to eat. Sarah was an authentic Mondstadter and didn't have time to go out collecting folk songs or anything...
How could she make such delicious ramen?
So, Venti asked with interest.
"Just a few days ago!" Sarah replied. "Don't you know there's an animation shop near the Adventurer's Association in the east of the city? It's Boss Takumi's shop. You can get special props or abilities by watching the animations inside."
Sarah didn't hide anything.
After all, the whole of Mondstadt knew about the anime screening room now.
"Animation shop?"
"Something new?"
"Interesting!"
Venti, being the Wind God, found himself intrigued. He didn't use any elemental powers or Evil Eye here, but after eating and drinking his fill, he watched Takumi's back gradually disappear into the night. Suddenly, a burst of interest sparked within him.
As Mondstadt's idle Wind God, Venti was naturally intrigued by new and novel things. Cartoons? That was still a relatively new concept, something he had never heard of before.
"If I have time, I'd like to go and have a look," he mused.
As for Takumi, he didn't think about contacting Venti at this time. After all, he was a god.
Venti was likely to have some connection with the Sky Island, and Takumi didn't need to worry whether it would affect his plans to promote the anime shop.
Currently, there were still 60 more people needed to complete the second main task.
Thankfully, Jean, the Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, had been instrumental in this.
Therefore, many adventurer teams in Mondstadt had come to Takumi's shop, bringing with them a lot of business.

"Strange, why are so many people from the Knights visiting Boss Takumi today?"
"Could it be to maintain order?"
"It shouldn't be, there are not so many people maintaining order!"
"Irene is here?"
"Not only her, but even Noelle came to the scene?"
"What's going on with the Knights? Are they going to deal with those Hilichurl camps outside the city?"
At present, because of the Knights' lack of manpower, they generally focused on maintaining law and order as their top priority. For the Hilichurl camps outside the city, unless they had grown large enough to pose a significant threat, the Knights wouldn't interfere directly.
Following the voices, everyone saw the knights in their uniforms, led by Mike, walking towards Takumi's small shop.
Many adventurers and residents expressed their curiosity. They even saw two little girls, Noelle and Irene, here.
What were they planning to do with such a big group?
Before anyone could react, they saw Mike leading a small team of knights set up a tent in the open space just outside the shop.

The sign was put up, and the announcement was clear:
"**The whole city recycles all the props from the animation shop, starting at 5,000 Mora!**"
"The Knights will purchase items from adventurers based on the value of the items!"
"Reasonable prices, no deception!"
"Any residents and adventurers who want to sell the animation props they've acquired can come to the Temporary Sales Office of the Knights to exchange them!"
"Additionally, adventurers who have acquired skills in anime at the anime shop can sign up for the first Knight assessment of this year's Mondstadt Knights!"
"Those who pass will become trainee members of the Zephyr Knights and enjoy the formal treatment of the Knights Order!"
