People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 146: Zhongli Yan’s Elemental Authority, what do you think?
In Liyue, eat Huyan, three bowls are enough.

Lin Feng and Zhongli, who had already behaved like regular customers, each holding a teacup, listened attentively to Tian Tiezui's storytelling under the high platform.

Recently, Mingming is a guest of Wangsheng Hall.
Zhongli would often choose to eat at Bubulu because of the high-quality ingredients.

Whether it was Baizhu, Agui, or even Changsheng, they all welcomed this young guest with superb cooking skills.

It can be said that as long as you see his tall figure, you know that there will definitely be a rare sumptuous dinner today.

——After all, apart from Emperor, it is hard to say whether there is another one who can cook at the maximum level.

The same is true today.

After tasting the Emperor's cooking, Lin Feng, who felt that his taste had been spoiled, no longer wanted to cook for himself.

He felt that even if he mastered his cooking skills to the maximum level, it was still unclear whether he could beat Zhongli.

——After all, these thousands of years of experience were not accumulated in vain.

After finishing dinner at Bubulu, seeing that the number of patients coming for treatment was gradually decreasing, Lin Feng followed Zhongli to the teahouse at Chihuyan and started today's drinking tea and listening to opera.

".The Rock King traveled through the mountains and seas, and saw countless strange people and strange things."

".In my dreams at night, I see and hear everything"

"."

Seeing Tian Tiezui dancing and clapping on the high platform, praising the Rock King Emperor in a serious manner.

Zhongli, who was drinking tea in the audience, remained calm and composed, listening with great interest.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng, who was standing by, deeply realized what it meant: "As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Recently, Lin Feng and Zhongli, two idle people who are nominally guests, often hang out together.

Eat, travel, drink tea, and watch a play.
After a few interactions, Lin Feng developed a lot of admiration from the bottom of his heart for this very reliable old man who had extremely unique taste.

——After all, even if you pick up a stone from the roadside, Zhongli can tell you from the beginning about a family hundreds of years ago, from policy changes to personnel mobility, from birth, aging, illness and death to generational changes.
Looking at the entire Liyue, there seemed to be nothing he didn't understand. When Lin Feng had nothing to do, he liked to ask something casually and then listen to Zhongli's explanation.

Although the tone was calm, the content was very fascinating. In Lin Feng's opinion, this was much more exciting than watching any popular science videos in his previous life.

After eating and drinking tea together more often, Lin Feng was surprised to find that Zhongli's friendship level, which was already as high as 80 points, had actually increased by another 5 points.

I guess it might be because there is really no one to walk with him on a regular basis.

With the idea of ​​caring for the empty-nest elderly, Lin Feng would often pick some vegetables and fruits of such high quality that ordinary people could not eat from his backyard and give them to Zhongli, so that he could eat something good to replenish his body when he was free.

This time, after listening to the book.

Lin Feng thought about his previous experience in the Layered Abyss and some of his doubts about wear and tear, and asked Zhongli beside him:

".When I came to Liyue before, I encountered the attacking forces of the Abyss in the Layered Abyss. I wanted to forcefully break through the chaotic space and return to Teyvat."

"But in the end, an external force repelled the tentacles of the abyss out of the world, so that I would not be randomly teleported to some desperate situation. May I ask how the emperor did it?" Zhongli, who was drinking tea, heard Lin Feng's doubts, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, smiled, and said:
"Although the abyss is very corrosive, it cannot arbitrarily transfer the creatures on this land to other dimensions. Your last experience was very rare, and it was caused by the special nature of the land of the Layered Rock Abyss."

"I didn't actually make many changes. I just temporarily closed the 'gap' that connected that area to the outside world. Without the means to replenish power, the influence of the abyss will naturally fade away."

Zhongli paused.

"As for what effect the remaining abyssal power in your body will have, I am not quite sure..."

"Although this power is very dangerous, I have seen your reaction to it and I am afraid you have your own way of dealing with it, so I will not say more."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and seemed to have no desire to explore the secrets of Lin Feng.

After hearing the Emperor's understatement, Lin Feng realized that Zhongli seemed to be shy about the existence of the abyss and could only give his answer in a suggestive way.

Knowing that some secrets cannot be told on Teyvat, and that the Seven Gods did not seem to know the true origin of the Abyss, he simply changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about the problem of the abyss for now. I wonder what the emperor thinks about 'wear and tear'?"

"."

Zhongli was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to give the most reasonable answer.

After a while, he finally spoke:

"Any life will wear out and deteriorate over the course of time. This is a law of the world."

"——And 'wear and tear' is a curse that makes this process particularly favorable to certain beings."

"The wear and tear faced by different individuals varies greatly, and the speed of wear and tear varies greatly, but the end result is often some kind of irreversible tragedy."

"."

Having said this, Zhongli paused for a moment before speaking again:
"As for more information about it, for some reasons, I can't reveal it right now. I'll sort it out and give you a detailed reply later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If it is inconvenient to disclose it for some reason, please do not force yourself. What you just said is enough for me to think about for a long time."

Seeing that Zhongli obviously had his own unique understanding of "wear and tear", but it was obviously not convenient for him to express it out loud, Lin Feng was not in a hurry. After all, the information revealed by Zhongli in just a few words was enough.

"The origins of the questions you asked are very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. However, you are an 'out-of-the-ordinary' person, so it's okay for me to tell you some secrets. However, you still need to make some preparations."

Zhongli shook his head, as if he already had answers to Lin Feng's questions in mind, but he couldn't say them out loud now.

After a slight pause, he looked at Lin Feng in front of him and said in a somewhat curious tone:
"I see that the power you have is more familiar than when I first saw it. I guess the way you get power is very different from the way we 'ordinary people' do."

"Both 'Green Grass' and 'Dream' are very powerful powers, and their use is also very varied. There is still a lot of potential to be explored."

"Then I wonder if you, my friend, can still appreciate this simple 'rock' that is not as agile as wind and thunder, not as changeable as ice and water, and not as mysterious as green grass, even if you have these two things?"

In the corner of the teahouse, Zhongli put down his teacup, sat up straight, and looked at Lin Feng in front of him with an interested expression.

I want to know what this "outsider" thinks about this most simple and unpretentious element of "rock".
