Chapter 15 Parents
According to my parents' narration when I was young,
Wang Hao was born in the wild, and not just any wild animal.
The adventurous mother gave birth to Wang Hao on a mountaintop in Qingyunding.

That's why he chose the word "Hao".

The original meaning of the word "Hao" is "big" and is generally used to refer to the sky. It symbolizes perseverance, strength and the determination to make progress.

It is often used in boys' names, implying a broad mind and a far-sighted vision.

It is also used to describe parents' great love and care for their children.

And Wang Hao also deserves this name,
From a very young age, he showed extraordinary cleverness and a tenacious and resolute character.

We can see this from the fact that Wang Hao was able to support himself after his parents disappeared until he was taken back to the orphanage by the director.

But Wang Hao actually doesn’t know much about his parents.

All we know is that they are great adventurers certified by the Adventurer's Association and holders of the Eye of God.

In addition to this, there are the adventure notes left by the father, which record the couple’s adventures in various countries.

It was also thanks to this notebook that Wang Hao broadened his horizons and became completely different from ordinary Liyue children.

Otherwise, how could a child who grew up in the market respond so smoothly when facing a big shot like Ningguang, if he didn't tremble, it would be good enough.

Even though they were missing, the legacy left by his parents was still helping Wang Hao.

Therefore, even though his memory of his parents has gradually become blurred, Wang Hao still very much wants to find them back.

However, the Adventurer's Association has remained silent on the commission that caused the disappearance of the great adventurer couple.

Wang Hao knew that not telling himself might be a kind of protection for himself.

After all, it is not good for a child to be exposed to advanced, mysterious and dangerous information.

But this did not dampen his determination to find his parents.

This is also the reason why he was so active in approaching Ningguang.

From the barrage, he knew that Ningguang was the winner of the struggle on Tianquan Star.

Tianquanxing is undoubtedly the most powerful person in Liyue.

Get close to Ningguang, gain status, and then ask the Adventurer's Guild for news about your parents.

This is also one of the core reasons why Wang Hao actively helps Ningguang with his work.

Another core reason is to find another way out for everyone in the orphanage.

As for earning Mora, it's actually just a byproduct.

If you really want to be like Mora, there are many students in Tongwen Academy who are either rich or noble.
Not to mention that Xingqiu, the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, now regards him as a good friend. If he really needs Mora, how can Xingqiu not lend it?
"So, let's first do what Sister Ningguang gave us."

After packing up the questionnaire and putting away the charcoal pencil, Wang Hao turned and left the dock market.

"I didn't notice anything special when I was walking around Chihuyan just now. But on the way to Feiyunpo, I passed by the Yanshang Teahouse. There were more people gambling inside. Maybe I can talk to Sister Ningguang about it."

Wang Hao lowered his head and walked through the alleys.

Finally, after confirming that no one was following him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was he who started the tirade against the General Affairs Department at the dock market;

If someone noticed, they might follow him.

But now it seems that Wang Hao was too suspicious and the people in the General Affairs Department were not that sensitive.

Passing through several alleys,
Return to your own little hut.

My parents left me a nice house.
But after they disappeared, people claiming to be their adventure partners often came to their door with IOUs.

Later, the Adventurer's Association mediated several times and those people were persuaded to withdraw.

Wang Hao simply rented the house and had the Adventurer's Association collect the rent on his behalf.

So far, Wang Hao has not collected the rent.

He knew that until he gained status or power, the money might not be safe.

The Adventurer's Association has a large number of members.
There are adventurers who love adventure, but there is also no shortage of spies who help the treasure-hunting group collect information.

Wang Hao went to the Adventurer's Association to collect the rent, which was undoubtedly a waste of money. Until now, the subsidy he received from the Adventurer's Association was only for tuition and some basic living expenses.

"But once Sister Ningguang takes over, I can relax a little."

Thinking of this, Wang Hao smiled.

From now on he is no longer alone, he also has someone to back him up.

With the help of Ningguang's power, he will be able to do a lot more things.

"At least, we don't have to use ordinary lilies to pretend to be glass lilies."

Wang Hao's smile was filled with ease.

He had a very tiring life during those years when his parents were missing.

If the director hadn't picked him up and brought him back to the orphanage, he would have been eaten up long ago. [Seeing little Wang Hao's expression, I suddenly felt a little distressed.]

[Isn't Liyue a very good place? Why is little Wang Hao so miserable? ]

[It can’t be said to be miserable. Even here, orphans are different. ]

[But this is wrong. Just because we are used to it, it doesn’t mean he is not miserable. ]

The barrage started arguing again.

However, Wang Hao has gotten used to these comments. They can cause arguments all day long, even over whether he wants sweet or salty soy milk for breakfast.

"You are all right. Orphans are the most vulnerable group. That is why I want to rely on Sister Ningguang as my backer. Only then will I be able to change the current situation."

After a busy day, Wang Hao sat in front of a small desk and took out an account book from the drawer.

[April 3: Expenditure: 0 Mora (lunch), income: 6535 Mora, yesterday's balance: 6532 Mora, today's balance: Mora. ]

"Another day of losing money."

After complaining, Wang Hao stuffed the account book back into the drawer.

Then he took out a book and read it carefully.

[Every time I see little Wang Hao reading, I always feel sleepy. ]

[It's so funny. I can't understand a single Teyvat word. 】

[In fact, you can still understand some of it if you follow along when Xiao Wanghao is studying.]

[What am I learning? Can I learn advanced element theory? ]

[Maybe I can learn some alchemy, hahahaha. ]

……

The light-colored barrage of comments kept flashing across his eyes, but it did not affect Wang Hao's reading at all.

Having lost his parents at a young age, he understood a truth very early on.
If you want to stand out, you must either have wisdom or strength.

Now that the opportunity to study wisely is in his hands, he will not let it go.

Time passes little by little,

Sunset and moonrise.

The silvery moonlight replaced the sunset dusk.

In the sparse barrage,

Wang Hao finally closed the book.

There was a hint of fatigue in those golden pupils, but more of it was satisfaction.

Although today was a day of losing money, I learned a lot of new things, so it barely breaks even.

Get up, put the table and chair back in place,

Then he took out a hard steamed bun from the bedside cabinet, soaked it in some hot water and had it as dinner.

The comments on the forum were incomprehensible about Wang Hao's actions.

[I've already grabbed Ningguang's thigh, why is it so difficult? 】

[Studying is for the purpose of opening up your mind, I support this, but why do you still have to eat so poorly? You won’t be short of money in the future. ]

[Yes, isn't there still more than 6,000 Mora on the bill? ]

Facing the doubts in the barrage,
Wang Hao ate the steamed buns as if they were some kind of delicacy, without leaving any crumbs behind.

At the same time, he smiled and answered the doubts of the barrage: "It is your honor to be supported by a noble man. If you lose your duty, you will be ungrateful."

"Sister Ningguang thinks highly of me. Perhaps I will be as rich as her in the future. But now I am still a poor boy. I still need to maintain my duty."

"What I eat is not steamed bread, but peace of mind and calmness."

"I am not rich yet, I cannot let the future glory and wealth destroy my current heart."

[I don’t understand, but I think what Xiao Wanghao said makes sense.]

[You are such a good person, why don’t you go to heaven. ]

[Damn it, a college student who has just entered society was taught a lesson by a child. ]

[Isn't this a 12+ game? Why are there so many social conventions? ]

In the comments of the barrage,

Wang Hao washed up and said to the barrage:
"Good night, sweet dreams everyone."

Then he lay down on the small bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
