[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

The Rose Society at that time would probably have been severely suppressed.

Carles exhaled a breath of stale air and recalled a proverb.

When your opponent perceives you as a threat, you'd better actually be one.

Out of self-preservation and strategic deterrence, Kares really needs to seriously consider cooperating with Chao Ke at this moment.

-----------------

Fontaine, Grey River District.

Chao Ke studied the map of the Grey River District, searching for a suitable location to open a restaurant.

"I wonder how things are going with Kares..."

Chapter 112 Jasmine Station

Two days later.

Chao Ke received a message from a member of the Thorn Rose Society, indicating that the cooperation arrangements had been made and could proceed.

However, Chao Ke already had specific arrangements for today, and needed to go to the Opéra Garnier to see César's new magic trick - high-altitude escape.

Helpless, Chao Ke could only ask this member to convey to Cares that the negotiations on cooperation would be postponed until tomorrow.

After the members of the Rose Society left, Chao Ke left the [Delicious Taste Restaurant] and went into the Bufati Mansion next door.

After touring the mansion, Chao Ke quickly spotted Lin Ni and Linette adjusting their makeup in front of the mirror.

It seems the brother and sister are going to perform magic tricks on the street again today to build up their popularity.

Chao Ke patted Lin Ni on the shoulder and said,

"You two siblings shouldn't go out to perform today, come with me instead."

Linni looked puzzled. "Lord Chao Ke, is there some task for us?"

"Ah."

"Come with me first, we'll talk about the mission on the way."

Linnie and Lynette exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

So the three of them left the mansion together and walked along the Vasari Corridor toward the Ting District Waterway Hub.

On the way, Chao Ke asked Lin Ni, who was standing next to him.

"Linnie, I heard that you and your sister recently took on a teacher, is that right?"

Linnie nodded. "Yes. My magic skills with Linette were not systematically learned, and my anonymous apprenticeship under Cesar was also to improve my skills."

"Then your teacher is in danger today."

Lin Ni frowned slightly. "Lord Chao Ke, what do you mean?"

"César will perform his newly developed high-altitude escape magic trick at the Opizke Opera House today, and then..."

"Died from a fall from a great height!"

Linnie was startled, and even Linette's expression changed.

"You don't need to worry, I will save Cesar then."

"And your task is to find out who is behind this murder."

Linni's expression was serious. "Understood, Lord Chao Ke."

...

The three walked briskly, and soon arrived at the Ting District Waterway Hub from the mansion.

To get to the Opikley Opera House, you need to take the Navia Line, which is located on the third floor.

From the Tingqu Waterway Hub Station on the Navia Line, take the train all the way to the final stop, Mojie Station.

Chao Ke and the other two took the elevator to the waterway platform on the third floor to wait for their train.

The group was quite lucky; they soon encountered a patrol boat, and the guide on board, Meluxin, was someone they knew.

Miss Ophini.

As one of the members who participated in spying on the kitchen of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant], she was also present in the photo taken by the [Amazing] newspaper.

After the three of them sat down, Ou Fini kept her eyes fixed on Chao Ke.

Clearly, Ou Fini also recognized Chao Ke.

After a moment of silence, Chao Ke was about to go up and say hello when Ou Fini spoke first.

“Mr. Chao Ke, thank you for your care for my junior, but please stay away from Abel and stop bullying her.”

Chao Ke's lips twitched. What did he say? What did he say?

I only gave Abel a "loving caress" for a while, why do I have to give myself such a special warning?

Why are both Carles and Ofini so wary of me?

Am I that twisted...?

Chao Ke reluctantly turned his gaze to the side beside him.

Wait, what's going on here?

Linni, what's with you suddenly pulling your sister away?!

Goodness, I really am...

Linni laughed awkwardly a few times, somewhat avoiding eye contact with Chao Ke.

Chao Ke wasn't angry. He first called Lin Ni over, and then took off his magician's hat.

He gave Linni's hair a good rub until it was a mess, then he let go, satisfied.

...

As the departure time arrived, Ophini steered the patrol boat and began this leg of the voyage.

Ou Fini stood on the stage, coughed lightly, and began her work.

"Ahem! Welcome, passengers from afar. Your guide, Ophini, is here to assist you..."

"The destination of this 'patrol ship' is Irie Island. It rains all year round, perhaps because those two adults visit it frequently."

"..."

As Ofini explained, the cruiser continued its steady journey along the Navia Line.

As Chao Ke surveyed the waterways of the Navia Line, he couldn't help but admire them.

Even in the previous life, probably few countries could have accomplished this project.

Building such a long passageway on the vast ocean is incredibly difficult, even just thinking about it is a huge challenge, let alone actually constructing it.

Kares' abilities are indeed not to be underestimated.

With a gentle sea breeze blowing, after some time, the patrol ship reached the end of its voyage, Mojie Station.

Ophini, aboard the patrol boat, also offered this reminder at that moment.

"This patrol boat has entered Iriye Island. Moje Station welcomes passengers."

"Please check your personal belongings before disembarking."

"Furthermore, if you wish to meet the two most distinguished gentlemen of the Opiclie Opera House, it is not advisable to wait here for an opportunity."

"The two gentlemen have their own modes of transportation and will not take this free boat."

Ou Fini may have said this specifically to Chao Ke, but she clearly misunderstood. Chao Ke currently has no intention of contacting those two.

Although Chao Ke and his two companions had arrived at Mojie Station, they were still quite a distance from the Opiclie Opera House.

Fortunately, Cesar's magic show was in the afternoon, so there was still time.

Actually, the route from Mojie Station to Lujingquan is quite beautiful, with neatly arranged flowers, fountains of various sizes and shapes, and rolling hills on both sides.

Many pedestrians stopped to admire the view, and some travelers took photos to commemorate the occasion.

However, with their mentor's life threatened, Linnie and Lynette clearly had no interest in sightseeing and hurried toward the Opiclie Opera House.

Chapter 113 Mistake

At Lujing Spring.

Chao Ke and his two companions arrived not too late, but they weren't exactly early either.

A circle of onlookers who had arrived early had already gathered in the square.

Since Cesar's performance involves high-altitude escape magic, it must be performed outdoors to achieve the desired high-altitude effect.

Therefore, no tickets were sold for this performance; instead, a box was left for visitors to tip voluntarily.

However, it's questionable whether the small tips from visitors can even cover the cost of renting the Opicclay Opera House, let alone make a profit.

It's clear that Cesar's innovative performance was more about pursuing the art of magic than about making a profit.

At this moment, Cesar's magic assistant Lorenzo and other staff members are adjusting the magic equipment.

Meanwhile, police officers in Fontainebleau were also setting up cordon lines in place to prevent accidents during the magic show, such as props falling from heights and injuring people.

With one in each hand, Chao Ke grabbed Linni and Linette, and with his extremely abnormal physical abilities, squeezed into a very close viewing position.

After being put down by Chao Ke, the brother and sister didn't say anything, but looked at Cesar's magic show in unison.

Linni examined the magic equipment on the stage, reasoning about the principle behind the magic trick in his mind.

And what caused Cesar's defeat?

Lynette's expression also became unusually serious.

In her words, it was like switching from "standby mode" to "serious mode".

Unlike Linnie's sensitivity to equipment, Linette excels at capturing details and expressions.

Lynette carefully observed Cesar's performance team, memorizing every detail of their every move.
