Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Ying looked blankly at them as they played chess by blindfolded people, thinking to herself, "Can't you guys be normal?"

Seriously, nobody seems to be normal these days.

"We can only rely on the divine child."

Although the divine child has a quirky sense of humor, he is reliable in crucial moments.

Ying firmly believed this.

...

Here.

Oguraya.

Yae no Miko emerged from the changing room, wearing a pink kimono. She twirled around once, then exclaimed happily, "Cut... Su Chen, what do you think of this?"

Before Su Chen could speak, the shop owner clapped his hands and laughed, "This set is absolutely perfect for Lord Gong Si!"

"is it?"

"Of course, this is a new style this year. It's one of the first clothes we bought from the Yanhuang Merchant Guild after the lockdown was lifted. It's definitely the most fashionable in Liyue."

"Hmm, that's right... Su Chen, what do you think?"

Su Chen nodded: "Not bad, buy it if you like it." As he spoke, he looked at the shop owner, "The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is going to set up shop in Daoqie, right?"

"I think I've heard that. The trade between Inazuma and Liyue was mainly handled by the Yanhuang Merchant Guild. This guild is quite remarkable; they managed to snatch the trading license from the Seven Stars. The quality of their products is also quite good."

"That's true, but when it comes to fabrics, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce does a better job."

"Yes, it's a pity that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has recently encountered some trouble. In the past, the market in Inazuma was managed by their second young master. Later, Inazuma closed its borders, and the market was cut off. It is said that the second young master now spends his days reading poetry and novels and cannot find a suitable contact person for the time being. Therefore, many of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's goods have not reached here."

"Uh..."

Su Chen's lips twitched slightly as he recalled that during the Lantern Festival, he had stumbled upon Xing Qiu and Hu Tao composing couplets on the street. Although Xing Qiu was a learned scholar, Hu Tao was no pushover either. What seemed like nonsense was actually incredibly rhyming. The two of them were locked in a fierce battle, attracting a large audience.

Perhaps for Xingqiu, pursuing the life depicted in martial arts stories is his dream; if all else fails, he can always go back and inherit the family business.

"Su Chen~" The Divine Child revealed a resentful look, looking at me, looking at me, what kind of second young master of the Flying Cloud Chamber of Commerce is he, hurry up and get out of my way.

"Good-looking, good, fair." Su Chen gave a thumbs up.

The shop owner smiled broadly: "Shall I pack it up for you?"

"Okay, pack it up," Su Chen said, without even asking the price, since he had no money on him anyway, and the bill would be sent to Tenshukaku!

The divine child beamed with joy: "Wait, let me choose another one. Don't forget the important matter."

This time, I was picking out a gift for Kage. The reason I had Cardodia buy it for her was because we 'coincidentally' saw something suitable, wasn't it? As a priestess, it's reasonable for her to have a few extra sets of clothes, right?

Yes, I believe Ying can understand her.

Unfortunately, after carefully selecting everything, Miko found that there were no suitable clothes for Kage in the store, so she had no choice but to buy her outfit instead.

"The bill will be sent to the castle tower."

After leaving a sentence, Su Chen and Shenzi left the store.

"What a pity." Walking down the street, Miko crossed her arms and pondered, "It seems Inazuma doesn't have any suitable clothes for Kage. Maybe I should go to Yaedo and see if they have any interesting light novels~"

"Did you buy this again just to show off?"

"Um... Ah, of course not, it's for Ying, for Ying."

Feeling guilty under Su Chen's gaze, the Divine Child quickly said, "Lord Cardodia, actually, Kage really likes reading light novels, especially romance light novels. That guy is such a romance idiot~"

Su Chen thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second."

"Let's go, let's go."

Despite the insistence of the Divine Child, Su Chen was taken to the Eightfold Hall. As expected, he was supposed to be choosing a gift for Ying, but he ended up being completely captivated by what he saw. Su Chen glanced at the book title and realized that the Divine Child was reading a novel called 'The Mastermind'.

Is it really that good-looking?

Su Chen also picked up a book and flipped through it a few times.

I must say, it's quite interesting.

As they watched, time passed by, and when they came to their senses, there was a commotion outside.

"The General has arrived!!"

"The sword-wielding team has reached Hanamizaka! Go check it out!"

"Hurry up!"

The other customers who were reading in the store all rushed out in a swarm after hearing the noise.

Su Chen put down his book, glanced at Yae no Miko beside him, and said, "The Shadow is coming."

"Mmm." The goddess stared at the book, responding without blinking.

"Didn't you say you were going to buy a gift? If you parade into the castle tower, it will be too late."

"Don't worry," the goddess said with a smile, "there's still time."

Seeing her like this, Su Chen knew that what she said about going for a stroll was actually just her own idea to go shopping. However, Su Chen had some idea of ​​this from the beginning. The reason he didn't expose her was that he wanted to see how this sly fox would explain herself to Ying.

Ten minutes later, the god finally put down the book with satisfaction and stretched.

"Hmm~ This book is good, but the updates are too slow. If I weren't so busy lately and didn't have time to read it, I would have had him thrown into a dark room and made sure he didn't eat until he wrote 100,000 words a day, hehe~"

"Alright, let's get going, the parade will have to enter Inazuma Castle later."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

"I'm worried you'll get struck by lightning."

Yae no Miko patted Naiko confidently.

Su Chen could tell that this guy was prepared. After leaving Yaedo, he went straight to a street in Inazuma Castle and said as he walked, "That guy, Ying, has a hobby that he can't let go of. He likes to eat sweets, especially when he's angry. As long as he eats sweets, he'll feel better immediately."

Desserts?

It turned out to be the case.

Su Chen suddenly realized, how could he have forgotten about this?

"It's really good, but what book are you holding?"

"Hehe~ Well, I brought this for Ying as well." The Divine Child held the book in his arms, deliberately not letting Su Chen see it. This was a more useful treasure than the sweets. It could teach Ying how to use a one-hit kill. However, the premise was to use the sweets to calm down the irritable Ying. Otherwise, in the current cold war situation, even if the Matchmaker of Liyue came, it wouldn't be of any use.

Oh dear, what a useless general! He only ever causes trouble for his good friend.

A mischievous thought flashed through her mind, followed by a scene from the goddess's imagination, and a slight smile involuntarily crept onto her lips—

"Divine Child." Su Chen's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Hmm?" The divine child snapped out of her reverie. "What's wrong?"

"Is the dessert shop you're talking about that one?"

"Yes, that's the one... Huh?" The goddess froze on the spot.

"It's closed," Su Chen said, pointing.

Not far from the street, there was a rather large confectionery shop with a notice hanging at the entrance that read, "This shop will be closed during the sword-making festival."

"Look, everyone else respects the general more than you do."

Su Chen turned around and asked the dumbfounded Eightfold Divine Child, "So, do you have a backup plan?"

The divine child remained rooted to the spot, lost in thought.

"It seems there is none."

Su Chen let out a helpless sigh, like an old father. It was clear that things had gone wrong. Moreover, desserts don't keep for long. Even if it were a day later, there might not be any left. Not to mention that the sacrificial ceremony had already taken place a day ago, and the shop had probably emptied them out long ago.

"Lord Cardodia..." The divine child looked pitiful.

Su Chen said blankly, "Who told you to waste so much time in the middle? Even if you come to me now, where am I supposed to get you a gift?"

"Woo~"

"Can't other pastry shops in town do it?"

"No, no, only the flavors here are the most photogenic. If the desserts aren't good, it will have the opposite effect."

Su Chen shrugged: "Then there's nothing we can do."

"I've got a way! I've got a way!" The divine child exclaimed excitedly, his inspiration flashing. "Let's do it ourselves!"

"what?"

...

Half an hour later, looking at the limp donut in his hand, Su Chen stared expressionlessly at Shenzi.

Are you sure this recipe is correct?

"It's definitely right."

"Then why did it turn out like this?"

It's sticky and gooey, almost like a thesis defense; who would have an appetite for that?

Su Chen swore he hadn't done anything wrong. Although he wasn't good at cooking, he still knew some simple techniques. He wasn't so bad as to overload the kitchen by starting a fire. Besides, even if his cooking skills were poor, following the recipe would at most result in something that tasted bad, not something that was unbearable to look at.

Huh? Is this what a housewife is like?

Bullshit, my Ah Ying is awesome!

"Well... I might have missed a step. Lord Cardodia, could you take a look? I'll go check his recipe again."

"Go."

The child ran out with a thud.

Su Chen continued his research, and after a while, it turned out to be a donut. Shenzi said that Ying had been eating it the most in recent years. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was better to have something than nothing at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be a problem, but he was afraid that the divine child would be cleaved in two.

"Ok?"

Su Chen caught a glimpse of something on the shelf out of the corner of his eye.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he asked, "Divine Child, did you put this in just now? I remember you said it was a must-have in the recipe."
