People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 312 Xingqiu: Chongyun, when have I ever lied to you?

“.Thanks for your recommendation, but I’ll forget about tasting it.”

I declined the opportunity to taste the "authentic" Fontainebleau cuisine as the stall owner looked at me with regret.

Lin Feng looked at the "Fish and Chips", "Baguettes" and "Raw Meat Tacos" on the food booth, and felt that there was a reason why there were so few pedestrians near the stalls.

——There is no doubt that this is obviously a "traditional gourmet" which is extremely rare even in Fontaine.
In the news reports that Lin Feng had accidentally seen before, this group of people seemed to be quite conservative. Not only did they believe that Fontaine was an absolute "country of gourmet food", they were also committed to using the authentic "Fontaine flavor" to conquer the taste buds of residents of other countries.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the starting point of the concept.

But judging by the fact that the local tourists from Fontaine kept away, this action was obviously not very successful.
Shaking his head and saying goodbye to the Fontaine stall owner who was preaching the "Fish Chanting Party" everywhere with a plate of it, Lin Feng also tried to take Nashida to find some relatively normal food stalls.

".There is such a food in the world. Hmm, I feel like I can't understand it at all."

".I thought that seafood that grows in darkness was scary enough. After all, eating fish that I don't know is like asking me to swallow a dirty cloud."

"——But why do the people of Fontaine like this kind of food that looks so bad? I thought I would see a lot of desserts that I have never seen before."

Because I heard that Fontaine, known as the "country of desserts", also had people setting up stalls at the food exhibition.
Nashida, who had been looking forward to pulling Lin Feng over, now wilted visibly like a sweet flower that lacked water.

".Well, in fact, even the people of Fontaine are not very receptive to this.
I think there are only a few people who insist on promoting their country’s “traditional food”, but I didn’t expect that I would apply for this event in Liyue.”

Although to be fair, the taste of foods like "Fish and Chips" and "Baguette" is not that strange, at least it is much better than the other foods on the booth that people dare not eat.

But if we want to say what are the special highlights of these "traditional delicacies", it is really hard to find them among the competition of many cuisines.

Overall, it is not as well-known as the current dessert industry of Fontaine under the influence of a certain water god.

".Okay, I know you're a little disappointed, but let's walk around a little longer.

If you can’t find any desserts you like in the end, I can go to Fontaine and bring you a few back.”

Nasida: "."

Although I am very touched, isn’t this kind of cross-border express delivery a bit too extravagant?

"Thank you, but forget it now.
I think we should save this surprise for when we go to Fontaine together in the future.

After all, anticipation is like brewing date wine. If you open it too early, the aroma will be greatly reduced."

Nashida shook her head. Although she refused, her mood seemed to have improved a lot:

"——If we can't find the food we like at this exhibition, then we can save our luck for our future journey.
After all, I am very happy to be able to hang out in such a lively place. Compared to the disappointment just now, I was actually more shocked by the food."

Nashida explained her thoughts honestly. Although she found it difficult to understand the mental state of some of the food creators, she still liked this event overall.

".Okay, the preliminary round won't take too long, so let's go shopping.

Maybe after a while someone with higher skills will come to exhibit.”

Because this event was essentially held for the sake of Guoba, and profit was not considered at all,

Therefore, as long as the contestants can pass the preliminary round and prove that they have basic cooking skills,
Then, whether you are eliminated or pass normally, you can apply to the Liyue General Affairs Department for the reserved stalls, and get a batch of basic ingredients for free to set up stalls.

And if tourists particularly like certain foods and are not satisfied with tasting them, stall owners who are deemed popular can subsequently purchase ingredients at a discounted price to replenish them and switch to a normal stall mode.

As for the consumed food,
In Teyvat, where food resources are not scarce, it is not a problem at all for Liyue, which is rich and powerful, or Xumi, which has convenient business conditions and a large number of technical patents.
Even if we consider attracting tourists and promoting consumption, Liyue, as the venue for the event, can actually make a profit.
Shaking his head, although there will be some national activities to be held in Xumi next year, Lin Feng will temporarily withdraw his attention.

I decided not to think about other issues for the time being and just focus on accompanying Nashida to visit the busy exhibition venue.

At the same time, after Lin Feng and Nashida quickly left the exhibition area of ​​the Fontaine chef,
Among a crowd of pedestrians far away from "spiritual pollution", there are two unique guests who go against the current, seemingly coming here to taste this rare delicacy.

The person leading the way was a handsome young man with dark blue hair and a scholarly demeanor.

The one who was pulled to the back and "come and eat good food" was a blue-eyed boy of similar age wearing a white Taoist robe.

——Without a doubt, these are Xingqiu and Chongyun who came here “because of their reputation”.

". I said to Xingqiu, why do I feel like the pedestrians around me are walking in the opposite direction?

Is your information really reliable? Is there really "unforgettable" food here?

Chongyun, who was dragged here just because they met by chance on the road, looked at his friend beside him with some suspicion.

——Unlike the initial period, after spending more time together, he has vaguely realized that Xingqiu, who looks harmless, is not as honest as he seems.

On the contrary, once this guy has any special "ideas", it can be quite a headache.

"——Alas, as your best friend, how could I lie to you?

According to the feedback from my employees, the food of this boss is definitely "once you have eaten it, you will never forget it for the rest of your life", it would be a pity if you missed it! "

".But you said the same thing when you recommended the green juice crispy balls just now, but you didn't tell me that there was spicy seasoning in it."

After swallowing the crispy ball with a subtle taste, Chongyun, whose pure yang body almost exploded on the spot, felt a little doubtful.

"But doesn't it taste really good? As for the spice issue, that's just an accident. I promise there's absolutely nothing spicy in it this time."

Xingqiu's face was full of sincerity and his eyes were extremely clear. He looked like a good boy who would never have any bad intentions.

".Okay, I'll trust you again, but if anything unexpected happens again,
I won’t easily believe it’s a coincidence like I did last time, the time before, and the time before that.”

I think there really won't be any problem this time.
Apart from the "occasional" accidents, Chongyun, who had indeed been helped by the other party many times in his daily life, hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Xingqiu beside him.

After squeezing forward for a while, I suddenly seemed to remember something.
Chongyun patted his head and said to Xingqiu beside him:
"Oh, just now, because of the influence of the Pure Yang Body, I almost forgot to congratulate your family for obtaining the Eye of God again!"

"——I think she's your cousin. She got the Eye of God before she even left school. I heard that even the teachers were surprised."

After finally getting over the aftereffects of being fed a few green juice crispy balls, Chongyun quickly added his congratulations as he thought about the topic he had originally intended to talk about.

——For most people, obtaining the Eye of God is an absolute joyous event.
The holder of the Eye of God not only possesses combat power far beyond that of ordinary people, has an excellent physique and is almost never sick, but even his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. Because of the extremely low probability of obtaining it and the unique significance of being favored by God, even the empty shell of the Eye of God is one of the most precious collections, let alone a complete Eye of God.

"Oh, you mean my uncle's daughter? If I must say, both she and this Eye of God are somewhat special."

I quickly figured out who Chongyun was talking about.

Although he didn't see his cousin often because she was still in school, Xingqiu also knew that she had almost encountered danger in Xumi before, so she had no chance to leave home and school recently.

"Hmm? Special? Is there anything strange about the Eye of God?"

Chongyun was a little confused.

".Well, since my cousin went to Xumi, it seems that she has a friend that we can't see.
At first, my uncle and aunt were a little worried that she might have some kind of fantasy, but since the enemy merchant had previously made trouble and tried to kidnap her, and the treasure-stealing group they hired was solved in an instant, they felt relieved.
It is said that now he even keeps a variety of fruits at home for his friend Lanaluo, who is called 'Lanlana', to take back home. "

"Lannaro? Isn't this the reinforcement from Xumi that came earlier?

According to my elders who accompanied the army, although these reinforcements are invisible, there seem to be several beings as powerful as immortals among them."

Chongyun was a little surprised because he had never seen those mysterious Sumeru creatures.

".Well, I've seen the vines used to tie up the treasure-stealing group. They're more than enough to tie up the two of us. The Qianyan Army must have put a lot of effort into getting them free."

After confirming that the invisible friend would most likely not be defeated even if the two of them attacked together, Xingqiu was not actually that worried about the safety of his cousin.

"Uh, why are there vines again? Could it be that the projection we encountered before was also from Xumi?"

Recalling some unpleasant memories, Chongyun shook his head and quickly threw the scene of being tied to the ground out of his mind.

"But, Xingqiu, why do you say that the Eye of God is special? Aren't all Eyes of God gifts from the gods? Are there any exceptions?"

Chongyun was a little confused.

".Because the attribute of this Eye of God is the very rare grass element in Liyue, and the style is different from ours, it is a style that we have never seen before,
In addition, it seems that even the upper limit of elemental power manipulation is much higher."

Thinking of my cousin who was not very good at controlling elemental power and had to take several more elemental courses recently,

Xingqiu also shook his head, thinking that this might be a kind of happy trouble.

"——Forget it. My uncle has recently grabbed a lot of shipping orders from the Ministry of Education, so I don't see him very often.
I'll wait until he and my sister-in-law are free, then I'll ask for details and tell you in detail.

Anyway, my cousin didn’t encounter any danger like some other owners of the Eye of God. After she woke up, the Eye of God appeared next to her.”

It feels like the process of the other party obtaining the Eye of God is as simple as taking Mora out to buy groceries. Xingqiu is actually also one of the envious ones.

"——Ah, never mind!
The stall is finally here, Chongyun, come and try it out!
It is said that the "Lamb Haggis" and "Fish Chanting Pie" of the Fontaine owner are both impressive traditional dishes, with a powerful impact that is second to none among all delicacies.
——This time I use my reputation to guarantee that the evaluation of "unforgettable" is definitely not a lie! "

Finally arriving at the destination he had been looking for, Xingqiu immediately interrupted the previous topic and looked at Chongyun who was half-believing and half-doubting beside him, revealing a sincere smile full of confidence.

After a while.

"Hmm? Did something unexpected happen over there? Why does it seem like someone is being chased?"

Seeing that she had almost finished touring the entire venue, Nashida suddenly discovered that an area she had visited before seemed particularly lively.

"Being chased?"

Lin Feng looked back, somewhat curious about who dared to cause trouble in public.

???

"."

Aren't these Chongyun and Xingqiu? Even the honest Chongyun is chasing after someone, so what on earth did Xingqiu do?!

I know these two people's personalities and communication styles very well.
Looking at the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in front of him, who was being chased but still smiling,

Lin Feng, who did not think Chongyun would take the initiative to cause trouble, shook his head and explained to Nashida, who was hesitant about whether to go over to stop him:

".Don't worry, they didn't really have a conflict. Judging from the way they carefully avoided pedestrians along the way, they were probably just joking."

"And if it was these two 'acquaintances' I know, I personally think that if it got to the point where they were chased and beaten, it's most likely that the one in front was fully responsible. I guess he was playing some prank again."

"Ok."

After observing for a while and finding that the two were indeed restrained, Nashida nodded and no longer paid attention to the noise behind them.

But just as she continued to walk around for a while, she estimated that the preliminary round was almost over and was planning to leave here with Lin Feng.
A voice that seemed to carry strong resentment suddenly came from the front, attracting her attention:

"--finally found you!
Why are there so many weird dishes in the food competition?!

Did you already know this, so you deliberately gave the refereeing position to Paimeng?
Paimon must do it this time."

"Um?!
Why is there a little girl I haven't seen before? Is she the child of another scholar in the House of the Magisterium? "

Paimon, who had been planning to question the scholar in front of him, discovered the presence of other people.

Because he thought that he shouldn't lead children astray, he restrained himself a lot and temporarily changed the topic.

"."

Nashida: "." Children of other scholars?

Is this how everyone looks at me now that I have lost my status as a god?
Nashida, who had occasionally worried about being discovered as a god,

Because he suddenly realized that there was no risk of his identity being exposed, he fell into silence for a moment.
