People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 337 Lin Feng: Wendy has done all kinds of bad things

"Ah?! Steam Uproar?"

"——So it's not the Steam Bird News?!!"

It seemed that it was not until Lin Feng reminded him that he finally discovered the blind spot.

Paimon, who had been full of confidence before, checked the newspaper in disbelief.
As if she was dazzled, she even went back and forth to the newspaper distribution office to read it many times.

But there is no doubt that no matter how many times you check it, the words on the newspaper will not change.
Faced with this irrefutable and tragic reality, a certain white-haired boy froze.
He looked blankly at Ying, who was standing beside him and also didn't notice anything wrong.

"."

"Oh, this is definitely the end."

"If the Rock God doesn't like seafood, then our gift-giving behavior just now won't be mistaken for a provocation, right?"

".Then the next step is to be blacklisted by Liyue and hunted by the Seven Stars and Thousand Rocks Army.

Then he was put on a wanted list in the Adventurer's Guild, and his portrait was sent to the Seven Kingdoms.
Finally, Ying and I, who were left with nowhere to go, had to wander in the wilderness to avoid being captured, and lived on raspberries every day."

Suddenly, they encountered the biggest crisis since their journey, and Paimon's brain entered an unprecedented high-speed operation state.
When she recalled the rumors about the fate of those who disrespected the gods,

The white-haired ball, who was full of energy just now, instantly wilted like a punctured balloon.

"."

".Well, it shouldn't be that bad.

At most, you just sent some food that the gods hate to eat, and you didn't mean any harm.
Now that the meeting is over, the biggest problem is probably this interview that misled you.

Since the God has given you a gift in return, it means that He is also able to sense your intentions."

"——Or should we first tell you how you came up with the idea of ​​sending seafood?
Then how did you find this newspaper?"

Although Wendy once mentioned at the banquet that the old man likes to eat seafood,

But judging from the atmosphere at the time, Ying and Paimon should be more inclined to think that it was a rumor that was difficult to tell true from false, and would not take it seriously.
But the timing of the appearance of this headline-filled newspaper that made them firm up their minds was too coincidental.
So much so that Lin Feng always felt that something was not right.

".Where is the newspaper from?"

It seemed that Lin Feng's words barely restored some of the white-haired boy's spirits.
Paimon, floating in the air, closed his eyes and propped up his head with his hands, thinking seriously about how he found this report.

After a while,

As if he finally remembered the scene at that time, Paimon froze and said awkwardly:
".If you think about it carefully, this newspaper was actually blown to me by the wind when I and Fantuan were on our way to Wanmin Hall for dinner."

".After I got it, I went to the void to confirm the professionalism of the Steam Bird Newspaper, and then told Ying about it, but who knew that this was not the Steam Bird Newspaper at all."

Lin Feng: "."

Okay, now the case is solved, I think I know who did it.

——In Liyue, if there is someone with the motive and means to commit the crime, it would be impossible to miss him even if you use your toes to guess.

Whether it was because he couldn't beat the old man in a drinking contest, or because he drank the special hangover tea and couldn't steal the old man's wine in a short period of time,
For a certain Mondstadt wine man who had done so many bad things, this method of revenge could be considered quite successful both in terms of concealment and harm.

——Of course, the premise of all this is that the little yellow-haired guy and Paimon in front of him did not come to the door, nor did they bring the conclusive "evidence" with them, otherwise they would definitely be caught.

I shook my head, not thinking that the old man would not find out the source of this thing after seeing such a unique recipe.
Forget for the moment what happened to a drunkard.
Lin Feng also sighed and said:
"——In fact, such unconfirmed reports are generally not allowed to be published in Liyue. I guess you can't buy this newspaper through any formal channels.

It is really too much of a coincidence that this tabloid, which was thrown somewhere by someone, would be blown to you by the wind. "

"In addition, if you can inquire about the dishes placed on the altar of the Rock King Emperor during the General Affairs Department's invitation ceremony over the years, you should be able to find that there is no seafood among them."

".Although the God of Rock has never clearly stated which tributes he likes and which he doesn't like,
The current recipes all follow the tradition that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and even Qixing doesn't know the meaning behind them.
But everything has its reason. Perhaps the things you sent are not to the taste of this god."

fluorescent:"."

Even if I received a gift I didn't like at all, I still gave a gift in return.
It seems that the God of Rock may be much friendlier than I first thought.

After Paimon confessed honestly, Ying finally knew what the report in the "Steam Bird News" was about.
A little thought will reveal that once this kind of false information spreads, it will easily lead to people scrambling to imitate it and offering seafood to the God of Rocks.

And if officials or the gods themselves do not come forward to refute it, in the long run it may even form a tradition of offering seafood, which can be said to have a huge impact.

Therefore, according to the strict approval procedures of the General Affairs Department,

There is absolutely no way that this kind of newspaper would circulate in Liyue through normal channels. The only way to get it is probably to pick up one discarded by someone else.

But such a low probability event still happened to Paimeng and me.
Faced with such an unfortunate situation, Ying, who had no confidence in her luck, suddenly became more worried about traveling to the next few countries.

"."

".Oh, so that's how it is. There are actually many untrustworthy bad guys in the Fontaine newspaper office.
Otherwise, Ying and I should take these dishes back ourselves, maybe Mr. Zhongli won’t like them either.”

After preparing for so long and coming here with full confidence, I found out that giving gifts may have the opposite effect.

Paimeng thought of the Yunlai giant octopus dishes in the Chen Ge pot that had not yet been delivered, and spoke with some frustration.

“——No need, just hand over these Yunlai giant octopus dishes to me. I think Mr. Zhongli will know how to deal with them.”

Seeing that Paimeng and Ying were both a little disappointed,
I feel more and more that a certain Mondstadt wine geek has done all sorts of bad things.
Lin Feng also decided to bring all these dishes to Zhongli and let him decide what to do with them.

"Huh?! Really?!"

"——Then I will give them all to you right now. Please help me take them to Mr. Zhongli!"

Suddenly I realized that there are still people who like these things, and my efforts were not in vain.

Paimeng's spirits suddenly lifted, and he immediately asked Ying to take out the Chen Ge pot and start moving it. After a while,

Looking at the countless plates of octopus tentacles in his storage space that were carefully preserved and even faintly wriggling,

Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he truly realized how enthusiastic Paimon was about giving gifts.

Seeing that all the Yunlai giant octopuses had been dealt with, the problem caused by this street stall tabloid was finally exposed.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Ying, who felt much more at ease, finally talked about the main reason why she came here:
".According to the previous answer from the God of Rock, my brother is probably not here.
So in order to find the equally ancient and powerful God of Wind, Paimon and I will set off for Mondstadt in a few days."

".Although I don't know whether the resumes submitted by Paimon and I will be accepted,

But I heard that there are many treasure-stealing groups in Mondstadt. No matter what the final result is, we will work with Mona Amber and the others to protect the scholars in charge of the construction."

".Thank you very much for your help. If you need anything in the future, please contact us directly in the void.

No matter what kind of request it is, as long as it is something I can do, I will do my best to help. "

I expressed my gratitude very solemnly.
Now we no longer have to sleep in the wild, but can live in the Dust Song Pot.

When they split up, Fantuan also helped protect Paimon, and even their weapons were given to them as a gift of friendship.
Ying recalled the help she had always received and said goodbye very seriously.

"Yeah, Paimon will help too!"

"If you think about it carefully, it seems like we have been dealing with you since we came to Liyue. If we suddenly stop seeing you, we might feel a little uncomfortable."

Recalling that Lin Feng not only often provided Ying with information related to the mission, but also often invited them to dinner when he saw them,
Paimon, who had not forgotten all this, also spoke with some reluctance.

".Well, since you have already decided to leave Liyue, I will accept your gratitude."

".Then when Xumi's team goes to Mondstadt in a few days, I will go with you to the scene. I have to go to Mondstadt anyway."

Knowing that Ying and Paimon in front of him had signed up for the escort commission issued by the Ministry of Education,
I thought of a guy who, after getting out of jail, went around saying that he was defeated by a blonde girl and that he would fight back.
Lin Feng was sure that with their experience of defeating Fatui executives, as long as he didn't make any basic mistakes when filling out the report, he would definitely be one of the best candidates.

".Okay, thank you for being willing to see us off. After we get to Mondstadt, Paimon and Ying will come to Liyue often to visit us."

???

"Huh?! Wait! So you're going to Mondstadt too?!"

I was a little moved after hearing the first half of the sentence.

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized something.
Paimon and Ying looked at Lin Feng in front of them, obviously a little surprised that he was going to Mondstadt.

"Haha, of course, even if I want to stay in Liyue forever, someone has to do the necessary work.
If you have paid attention to the personnel configuration for this mission, you should be able to guess what my mission is in Mondstadt this time."

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Feng did not hide his movements and frankly explained his action plan to go to Mond.

"Unnecessary work. This mission."

"——Ah! Could it be that you are the scholar appointed by the gods as a representative to negotiate with the Mondstadt authorities?
If you think about it carefully, many people do speculate that this special scholar is highly valued by the two gods!"

Perhaps because it got too many free ingredients from Lin Feng, the little white-haired ball's brain has been getting smarter recently.
She and Ying had been waiting for notification, and when she thought of Lin Feng's identity as "God's follower", she reacted quickly.

"Congratulations, you guessed it right."

"——After the Xumi branch construction team arrives in Liyue, I will go to Mondstadt as one of the accompanying personnel along with the Knights of Favonius from Liyue, and stay there for a while.
Judging from the situation, I think you should still be able to see me often during your travels in Mondstadt."

I briefly explained the course of action a few days later.
Lin Feng didn’t think that the little yellow-haired girl would not see him anymore after going to Mond, and he also said that they didn’t need to say goodbye to him specially now.

"Huh, that's good. Paimon thought he wouldn't be able to eat it later."

"Ahem. Paimon meant it was great to see you again!"

It's like finally getting rid of a regret in my heart.

The white-haired ball almost revealed his true thoughts and said goodbye to Lin Feng normally.

He waved goodbye and ended this visit, which was originally meant to be a farewell, with peace of mind.

"Eh?! Mr. Zhongli! What a coincidence, are you here for a walk too?"

".Let me tell you, we just left some dishes made from Yunlai giant octopus with scholar Lin Feng, and asked him to pass them on to you for us."

".This time it was really thrilling. I didn't expect that there are unreliable people in Fontaine's newspaper. The God of Rock doesn't like to eat seafood. Fortunately, Mr. Zhongli likes them."

Because she didn't have to separate from Lin Feng and could often eat those delicious foods, she was happy.
As soon as I went out, I ran into a guest from the Wangsheng Hall who seemed to be hanging out at Yujing Terrace.

Recalling what Lin Feng said when he accepted those dishes, Paimeng also greeted him excitedly.

Inside the house.

Lin Feng: "."

Listening to Paimon's greetings, and then, under Zhongli's questioning, he explained in detail how he picked up the newspaper.

Even though Lin Feng was sitting quietly in the room, he could sense that something was wrong. He sighed silently in his heart and mourned for the upcoming end of a drunkard:

——It’s not that I won’t help you, but since the witness has been caught red-handed by the old man, you’ll just have to fend for yourself from now on.

"."

Feeling the increasingly harmonious atmosphere of conversation outside the door,

In this calm before the storm, I could already vaguely guess what Wendy would face.
Looking at the giant octopuses in the storage space that were still well preserved and full of vitality, Lin Feng could only shake his head and sigh that everything goes around in circles.
