Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

"Does this require an appointment?"

This is my first time visiting Jiangning.

The waiter noticed that the two were dressed in the finest fabrics, and that their demeanor and appearance were exceptionally outstanding. He wondered if they were young masters and ladies from some wealthy family or visitors from out of town.

So he spoke very politely: "Yes, are these two distinguished guests visiting us for the first time? Reservations are required for all seats at our Xinyue Pavilion."

"Oh, I see... then forget it, we didn't make an appointment..."

Jiangning felt somewhat disappointed.

[Host, at this moment you shouldn't be aggressively demanding, "Do you know who we are? How dare you stop us?" Instead, you should introduce yourself as the junior brothers and sisters of the immortal disciple, Lord Gan Yu, causing them to tremble in fear and immediately greet you with smiles, "Shall we let you in?"]

The system said.

This is what a bad person should do.

"Are you sick? You should watch less of these clichéd plots; they're making you stupid. These villains are so low-class; they're like street thugs or nouveau riche..."

But we haven't made a single sale this month.

"Let's wait and see. It's only the beginning of the month. If all else fails, we can try to boost our sales at the end of the month and rob those treasure-hunting gangs in the wild."

Jiangning doesn't care.

Anyway, if they do this kind of thing too often and their performance isn't good enough, they'll just use the treasure-stealing group to make up the difference.

Because entrapment is illegal most of the time, Jiangning usually conducts entrapment enforcement in the wild at the end of the month.

They pretended to be harmless to lure out the treasure-hunting gang.

then……

You're all surrounded by me. If you know what's good for you, hand over the money!

Therefore, Jiang Ning decided to have dinner at Wanmintang.

Jiang Ning turned to Shen He and said, "Senior Sister, let's go to Wanmin Hall."

Shen He nodded slightly.

The waiter apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, please make an appointment as soon as possible next time you come... After all, this is our policy, please understand."

Jiang Ning said, "I understand... then let's do it next time."

Just as the two were about to leave, a magnetic voice rang out:

What are you two doing here?

Looking back, Jiang Ning exclaimed with delight, "Mr. Zhongli!"

The handsome man before him, exuding an air of nobility, was none other than his spear master, Zhongli.

"Master told us to go down the mountain, saying it was to let us enter the world. But what's Mr. Zhongli doing here?"

Jiang Ning asked.

"I heard that Xinyuexuan has some new dishes, so I came here to try them after receiving an invitation from the owner."

Zhongli said.

"Judging from the two of you, you probably haven't been assigned seats yet. It's normal that you're new here and don't know the rules."

Zhongli said, looking at the waiter, "Excuse me, could you make an exception and allow my two companions to enter with me?"

The waiter immediately became incredibly enthusiastic, saying, "You should have said you were Mr. Zhongli's friend! Please come in, please come in. The boss has been waiting for you for a long time."

With Zhongli leading the way, the three of them arrived at a private room without any obstacles. The room was filled with the scent of expensive incense and decorated with all sorts of pricey ornaments, clearly a place reserved for the very wealthy and powerful.

"Mr. Zhongli, what's wrong with you..."

After Jiang Ning sat down and all the dishes were served, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhongli said, "I have quite a bit of understanding about food. Thanks to the owner here, I come here from time to time to try some new dishes and give some feedback."

For the waiter at the door to make an exception immediately, especially since the waiter was invited, this is no ordinary sign of "understanding."

All I can say is that Mr. Zhongli is very impressive.

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

“I almost forgot, Mr. Zhongli. My master told us to visit you when we came to Liyue Harbor. We were planning to do some sightseeing in Liyue Harbor over the next couple of days before looking for your residence, but we didn’t expect to run into you today.”

5一⑧０⑨0九

Jiang Ning said.

Zhongli, holding a cup of tea, gently blew on it a few times, then slowly took a sip before saying:

"In that case, if you want to find me, just go to the Hall of Rebirth on Scarlet Cloud Slope."

“Scarlet Cloud Slope, Hall of Rebirth… I’ve got it, Mr. Zhongli!”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Zhongli said, "Well, let's eat first. With such delicious food before us, we can't let it go to waste..."

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

Jiang Ning nodded and lunchtime began.

21. Coming to Teyvat without becoming an adventurer just feels like something's missing.

Midway through the meal, the owner of what appeared to be Xinyuexuan came to pay a special visit, accompanied by someone who looked like a chef.

Zhongli offered a lot of advice, even having the chef constantly take notes with paper and pen, and was extremely grateful when he left.

Although he couldn't understand what Zhongli was saying, seeing the happy and admiring look on the other side, he thought, "Awesome!"

but……

After leaving Xinyue Pavilion, Jiang Ning smacked his lips and said:

"Mr. Zhongli, the food here doesn't taste much different from Wanmintang's. In fact, some dishes aren't even as good as Wanmintang's. Why is it so expensive here, and why do we need to make a reservation?"

Zhongli explained, "That's not hard to explain. Just as there are restaurants with the lively atmosphere that ordinary people need, there are also the luxurious places that high-ranking officials need when they're having grand discussions."

"Xinyuexuan doesn't actually sell a taste, but rather a quiet environment and the prestige of social gatherings."

"I see..." Jiang Ning suddenly realized.

"I'll go to Wanmintang from now on. I feel like it suits me better there."

Jiang Ning scratched his head and said.

"Everyone has their own preferred choices, so just be at ease with yourself... Let's part ways here. When you have time, you can come to the Hall of Rebirth to find me. Also, although you have entered the mortal world, don't neglect your spear skills and immortal magic."

Zhongli looked after Jiang Ning like an elder.

“Okay, Mr. Zhongli!” Jiang Ning said.

"So, goodbye."

With that, Zhongli put his hands behind his back and leisurely walked away.

Watching Zhong Li's departing figure, Jiang Ning inexplicably felt that he wasn't a young man in his twenties, but rather like an old man...

No wonder he's an immortal who's old friends with his master.

"Senior sister, what do you want to do this afternoon?" Jiang Ning asked.

Shen He shook his head.

Jiang Ning was also in a bit of a dilemma. To be honest, people who are usually busy suddenly find themselves at a loss for what to do when they have free time.

Just as I was struggling with this decision, a pretty young girl in a green skirt, white shirt, and a small green hat approached me and said energetically:

Hey! Interested in adventure?

Jiang Ning was taken aback when he was suddenly spoken to: "Who are you?"

The girl said, "My name is Sweetie! I'm a new recruiter for the Adventurers' Guild! My job is to recruit some new members, as requested by higher-ups!"

"Adventurers' Guild?" This was the first time Jiang Ning had ever heard of this organization.

However, I have seen quite a few people in similar uniforms before in Jueyunjian.

They should all be from the Adventurers' Guild, right?

"Yes! If you enjoy nighttime exploration, mountain climbing, diving, wilderness survival, and a thrill-seeking lifestyle, you can join the Adventurers' Guild!"

"Furthermore, the Adventurers' Guild will have many members posting quests, and you'll receive rewards after completing them!"

"If you're strong enough, you can take on tasks like clearing out monsters, gathering resources in the wild, protecting goods, or working for clients! If you don't like fighting, you can hire cats and dogs, do some housework, physical labor, or paperwork—all of those are within your scope of service!"

The girl named Sweetie looked at the two with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.

"So, how about joining the Adventurers' Guild?"

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment. This remark... it just felt like his daily life: wilderness survival, monster hunting, rescuing people...

And then you get paid?!

I feel like I've lost a hundred million in the last two years.

Although Gan Yu gave him a lot of Mora, Jiang Ning only got a brief taste of getting something for free before feeling a little embarrassed and thinking that he still needed to earn his own money.

Right now, it seems there's a great opportunity?

Where can I register?

Jiang Ning became interested; it would be a good opportunity to take a look and kill some time.

"Just follow me! It's not far away!" Sweetie's smile became even sweeter.

"Okay, senior sister, what about you?"

“Together…” Shen He said.

The two followed Sweetie to the Adventurers' Guild in Liyue, and Sweetie chattered away the whole way.

"The Adventurers' Guild has branches in seven countries across Teyvat! There's one branch in each country!"
