People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 300: For a better tomorrow with a piece of rice crust in everyone's hand (Happy New Year~)

On the east side of Liyue Harbor, in front of the beach near the shallow sea area.

While the little yellow-haired team tried to use the ground anchor point to speed up their journey to Wangshu Inn,
Lin Feng also brought the little grass god to this remote beach.

Although the season is a bit off, I looked down at the endless golden beach with almost no silt under my feet.

He still greatly appreciated the excellent natural environment of Teyvat:

——Perhaps due to the influence of elemental forces or earth veins, most of the beaches in Teyvat are sandy, which is very suitable for entertainment.

And it's not just the beaches, most of the wild areas have outstanding views too.

It can be said that apart from the threat of monsters, it is even more pleasing to the eye than those scenic spots in the previous life where only pedestrians could be seen.

"."

".It seems that without realizing it, traveling through the seven countries has become very easy for me.

My first wish when I came to Teyvat should have come true."

Looking back at the change in my mentality from a "tourist" to a "local",

Lin Feng, who now has a group of elemental dragons as supporters behind him, also finds this process a bit incredible.

——At first, he just wanted to find a small courtyard near the Wangsheng Hall to live in, without any great ambitions.

But if he continued on this path, he estimated that one day he might accidentally become the master of this world.
I shook my head and threw out some things that were not going to happen for the time being.

Lin Feng also took two steps forward towards the water's edge and stepped on the sea surface as if it were flat ground. After observing the surrounding environment for a while, he began his official work.

".When you came here, you said that you were going to look for a long-lost idol.

But the only known information is that it is in the shallow sea area of ​​Liyue, and we don’t even know what it looks like. Is this really okay?”

When she was in Xumi before, Nashida had hardly been to the beach due to special circumstances.
While blinking her emerald eyes and curiously observing the surrounding environment, she was also somewhat puzzled by Lin Feng's actions in front of her:

——We don’t know its size, shape, or any specific features. The only clue is the words “Liyue Seaside”.
This method of finding things may not yield any results even if the gods themselves were to do it.

".Well, it's not that there are no clues at all. After all, I have felt the breath of the owner of this statue before, which is the most clear feature in itself."

". And now, after all, I have unlocked two great powers. With the help of the elements in the earth veins, except for the wind attribute, I can actually control the other six elements.
If we really encounter the worst-case scenario, then inspecting the entire Liyue ocean is not something that cannot be done, it just takes a little time."

Because the information given in the plot is too vague, but the power of faith contained in the Guoba statue carries many memories of the past.
Lin Feng could only try searching in the shallow sea area near Liyue Harbor first. If that didn't work, he would have to spend some effort to plow the ocean.

——After all, it’s just the sea area around Liyue.

Considering the strength he currently possesses, finding something here is not a difficult problem for him.

"."

".Turn the ocean over again."

Once again, I heard from my own sage how to carry out the "great strength brings about miracles" to the extreme.
Nashida also sighed, thinking that she would probably never be able to learn this kind of operation.

".Okay, I'll help look for it, but whose statue is this?"

".Apart from the few currently here, are there any other demon gods in Liyue?"

Nashida recalled the gods she had seen in the records before, and was genuinely surprised at the number of demons in this country.

"Well, the number of demon gods in Liyue in the past is indeed far beyond the imagination of other countries.
From what I know, there were probably at least a dozen demon gods in that era.
Nowadays, the remaining number is actually not small.”

Lin Feng nodded and gave a positive answer to Nashida's doubts.

After talking about the situation in ancient Liyue, he paused for a moment and then introduced the matter of Guoba without much suspense:
"——However, although there are many demon gods, even among these many demon gods, the target we are looking for this time is actually a very special one."

"——If God is born to love people,

Then this demon god who was born in the flames and even created countless clones to go to thousands of households to help light fires and cook can definitely be called one of the beings closest to humans throughout history."

"."

".This. Personally creating a clone to help the residents cook? Is there such a demon god?"

Noticing Nashida's slightly opened mouth due to excessive surprise,
Lin Feng also smiled, shook his head and said:
"From the actions of the gods in Teyvat today, you should also be able to realize that most rulers actually avoid being deeply involved in people's livelihood."

"Although I have personally helped the residents of Xumi improve the environment, open up roads, and even arrested and eliminated illegal forces across the country,
But these measures still tend to be macro-oriented and targeted at the people as a whole.”

"——And if this "Demon of the Hearth" is really rescued by us,

Then maybe we can also bring back an enhanced version of the demon god clone who has unrivaled cooking skills and can help deal with various troubles."

"."

"——By the way, let me add one more thing. Actually, even those desserts I brought you before,
The person who made them also learned cooking from this demon god."

Looking at Nashida's increasingly excited emerald eyes,
Lin Feng also smiled and added a very lethal hidden message.

!!!

After hearing this, Nashida opened her mouth slightly, and even her eyes quickly lit up.
It was obvious that he still remembered the desserts he had eaten before.

Lin Feng was not surprised to see this performance.

After all, he himself was actually looking forward to that day:
——A demon god who has recovered all his experience, whose authority is related to cooking, and who can be called upon to help at any time,

It can be said that no one in the entire Teyvat can resist the temptation of significantly improving their living standards.

——That's a superb cooking skill that even the Emperor would be ashamed of. How could anyone not be curious about what the dishes it makes will taste like after it recovers its memory and power?

"."

He flipped through the ingredients in his storage space, which were of increasingly higher quality and were completely incapable of being processed by ordinary chefs, and he couldn't even taste them.
Lin Feng, who has reached a bottleneck in his vegetable-growing business, can already imagine the joy of having a Guoba clone in the future for each member of the God Team.

"."

".Liyue is indeed a magical place.

Well, now I fully understand the importance of this demon god you mentioned. "After listening to Lin Feng's introduction, Nashida, who always subconsciously associated the word "demon god" with power and destruction, felt that her cognition had been refreshed.
This is the first time I discovered that there are demons in the world that are so close and even completely integrated into people's lives.

She was already quite familiar with her own sage's hobbies, and she also completely understood why Lin Feng was willing to spend so much effort on this matter:
——I can only say that the appeal of a good chef is universal no matter where you are.

——Especially when the chef can split himself into two and take one home for everyone.

Thinking back to the time when I was practicing cooking for someone, I encountered various problems because no one was guiding me.

Nashida also stepped forward and joined the search for the "mission item" with some anticipation.

At the same time, on the other side.

At the same time that Lin Feng, Nashida, and even a certain God of Wind heard the news and came, asking him to temporarily restrain his strength and compete fairly to find things.

In Fontaine, deep inside the Buffat Mansion, in front of a flickering candlelight.

Alechino, who was wearing a white custom suit, looked at the investigation report on the God of Water in his hand, and revealed a slightly thoughtful look:

".According to the Fatui's observations, the Water God seems to lack combat experience and his combat ability is questionable."

".In the past five hundred years, not only is there almost no record of any attack,
Even when facing the pursuers, he was far from showing the alertness of a god."

". In addition, according to records from decades ago, a mechanical energy explosion occurred unexpectedly when the God of Water was on patrol.
Observers found that she also showed a panic expression, even though this level of energy is far from enough to harm the gods."

"."

"There is no doubt that these observations are true and not much different from my initial conclusions."

".So, what exactly went wrong?"

Looking at this information accumulated by generations of Fatui over a long period of time,

Alechino, who selected and integrated a large amount of invalid information,

She originally thought that she was very close to the truth, but a new report she received some time ago made her feel very puzzled:
"——The God of Water seems to have been hiding his true power. His previous performance may have only been to confuse observers."

"——From the results of this tracking, this god may be much more dangerous than imagined.

And it is most likely a warning to us not to take further action, so many of the previous records may be untrue."

"."

After carefully reading this recently submitted investigation report,
After studying many of the details, Arlecino felt that the conclusions reached by these investigators were not problematic:
——From a common sense point of view, it is unreasonable for a god to not notice even one tracking in such a long time.
The opponent's performance this time, combined with the elemental movement reported by the observer a few days ago,
She felt that this was consistent with the perception and power of a god.

——After all, even if the power gap between different ruling parties is huge,

But as a god, if the previous conclusions were true, it even gave her the illusion that she was looking at a mortal, which was obviously a bit abnormal.

".Weak and strong, dull and sharp, inexperienced and pretentious."

".The results showed such a huge contrast in such a short period of time. What happened?"

Tap the white desktop in front of you.
Alechino was also thinking about the reason for this situation.

".The children still need to have a normal identity in Fontaine, so I will not involve them in this incident.
Judging from the current situation, continuing to send out spies will not yield any greater gains, it will only make the other party alert."

".Perhaps the best option is for me to investigate the specific situation myself.

But based on past experience, the possibility of this "Water God" appearing alone in the outside world is very small. If we just wait, it is difficult to determine when the best opportunity will come."

Thinking carefully about the solution to the task ahead,
This "father" who always looked confident in front of the children of Hearth House was indeed a little confused about the situation before him.

—She was not ignorant of the prophecy of Fontaine's doom,
If I had come to this country at the right time, I might have had more options for obtaining the Heart of God than I do now.

But because of the appearance of that "competitor",

The "General Manager" who had made many radical decisions before and was not even afraid of being the enemy of God,
Not only is it not recommended that all members of the Fatui confront it head-on,

Moreover, the existing forces were dispersed to several countries where the enemy had not yet reached.

As a result, many plans were forced to be launched at inappropriate times, which seemed like a "avoidance" state.

In addition, combined with the fact that someone seems to have no intention of setting foot in Xumi again,

Arlecino, who was in the fourth seat, was also very curious about the "God of Disobedience to Law" that suddenly appeared in the clown's mouth.
I want to know what's so special about this guy that the Queen and the Harlequin can agree to avoid a direct confrontation with him as much as possible.

"."

".But everything about Fontaine has nothing to do with the god of Xumi, and there is no reason to give up this mission.
Perhaps I need to take some proactive actions to attract the water god to leave her palace."

Combined with current intelligence,
Alechino thought that it would be better to be cautious and regard the water god as a rival who was as scheming as his colleagues.

This way you won't be in a disadvantageous situation due to carelessness and being seized by the other party.

But just as she was thinking carefully about the actions she could take,

And listed several alternatives for further refinement.
Alechino looked at the information suddenly brought back by his "Ashes" and fell into an unspeakable silence.

".The God of Water secretly avoided the guards and left Fontaine alone?

—At a time like this when the surveillance members have just been caught?"

"."

The whole person's movements paused slightly.
After shifting her attention away from this unexpected information, she shook her head in confusion.

".Oh, it is indeed an elusive existence.

There is only one reason I can imagine for a god to do this.
That was a deliberate provocation to draw me out."

After thinking about it,

I couldn't understand why a god would sneak out of the city, avoiding his own guards.

Arlecino, who was not going to miss this godsend opportunity, also stood up from where he was.
He shook his head, intending to step into this "trap" set for himself.
