In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

Faced with so many unfriendly stares, Rod quickly came up with an excuse for himself.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The audience, who had initially been quite dissatisfied, immediately lost their anger. Some even came over to ask him if he had any other elemental artifacts similar to the Nightingale Bird, as they wanted to buy one as a gift for Miss Nel.

Faced with these fanatical Nile fans.

Rod repeatedly insisted that he only had this one, almost wearing his lips out, before they finally gave up and returned to their previous seats to continue watching the performance.

After the people dispersed, Dixia, who had remained silent until now, said with a strange expression, "Is this the gift you prepared for Nilu?"

"Oh, no, it's not that."

Seeing that Desia believed his nonsense, Rhodes quickly explained what he had just been doing.

However, he had only said a few words, and hadn't even mentioned that he had watched Nil's performance and was inspired to come up with a new use for elemental power.

Dixia chuckled. "What are you thinking? You think I'm jealous that you gave Nilu a gift? Is that the kind of petty person I think you are? You're only allowed to give me gifts, but not others?"

"."

Rod's mouth gaped slightly as he scratched his head and said, "Then what about just now?"

"Hey."

"What I'm trying to say is, if you're going to give Nel a gift, then go and get something proper and practical."

"Your gift made of ice."

"It looks nice, and it's quite fun to watch."

"But it melts in the sun, can that really be called a gift?"

Dixia glanced around and spotted a few other audience members who were also holding gifts. She pointed at them and said, "Look at the gifts they prepared. Even the most ordinary flowers can last for a long time. Who gives gifts like you, things that disappear as soon as they're received?"

"I don't."

"Look there, yes, right there, those ribbons and such sold over there are the gifts that dancers like Nilu like the most."

"Um, I'm not."

"Hurry up! If you're going to buy a gift, you'd better hurry. You're not allowed to accept gifts on stage at the Grand Bazaar. You can only do so after the performance. If you wait any longer, everyone will be going to give gifts. If you're slow, you'll fall behind."

"Big sister, please let me finish what I have to say!"

"What are you saying? Come with me now!"

With Dixia's 'helpful assistance,' Rhodes not only couldn't get a word in edgewise, but she also managed to push and pull him to the ribbon stall.

"No, wait a minute!!!"

Seeing that Dixia was still helping him choose a color that Nel would like, Rod completely lost his temper. He grabbed her and dragged Dixia to a secluded corner without saying a word.

"At least let me finish what I have to say."

After finally calming down, Rod explained with a headache, "I was just being polite to those people. Polite, you know what I mean? I never intended to give Nel a gift."

"Eh?"

"Haven't you thought of giving a gift?"

Dixia raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes slightly, saying, "Then what kind of bird is this?"

Finally, I found an opportunity to explain.

Rhodes quickly shared all his thoughts with Desia.

"How to use elemental power?"

Desia blinked, then looked at the exquisitely crafted ice bird in Rhode's hand and instantly understood his meaning.

"Ah."

"I was so focused on researching how to enhance the power of elemental forces that I didn't really study elemental force techniques anymore."

Rhodes pondered for a moment, then grabbed two completely different ice shards with both hands: "To draw a comparison, when we first met, I used these fragile ice shards, while now I'm using these solid ones. It seems that I am indeed stronger in manipulating elemental power than before, but in reality, I am still using ice shards as an attack method in a crude way. So after seeing Nel's performance, I started to wonder if there was something wrong with my technique of using elemental power."

"Oh--"

"understood."

With a drawn-out tone, Dixia nodded.

Rhodes's example was very apt, and it made the meaning clear in a concise way.

Talk about it.

This is also her fault.

If she hadn't said she wanted to study the nature of ice, Rhodes wouldn't have gotten so caught up in this obsession.

After a brief period of regret for being misled.

Dixia changed the subject and asked, "So you really don't need to give Nil a gift?"

"no."

"Big sister, why are you still dwelling on this problem?"

"I already said, I'm not going to give her a gift, I'm not going to give her a gift!"

Rhodes got a little impatient from what he was being said, and his tone of voice was different from usual.

"Well, okay, I see."

"Then you can take your time to study it. I'm going to watch Nilu's performance."

"Some people really have absolutely no sense of aesthetics, tsk tsk~~~"

After saying that, Dixia shook her hand and left Rhodes there.

Moreover, judging from the way she left, she seemed to be in a good mood, and even her walk was much lighter than usual.

Chapter 79 What's the point of having such a deity?

into the night.

After returning from the Grand Bazaar, Rhodes, who had been pondering how to develop the Eye of God, took out the leaf that Nasita had given him.

"I wonder if elemental power can be used in Nasita's dream world?"

After playing with the leaf for a while, Rod held it in his hand and whispered in his heart, "Nasita."

The voice just fell.

The scene before my eyes changed abruptly.

They were still in the hotel room when they saw the light again, and they had already entered Nasita's dream world.

This time.

What first caught Rod's eye was...

They were a group of mushrooms with all sorts of strange appearances, the most eye-catching of which were several featherless mushrooms that were completely bald.

Nasita was in the middle of these mushroom chickens, holding a handful of some kind of grain, squatting there feeding these new species of mushroom chickens that had never appeared on the continent of Teyvat.

"."

"You actually managed to create a featherless chicken."

Rhodes' face twitched, and it took him a long time to recover from his shock.

"Yes, it took a lot of effort."

Nasida tossed the remaining corn-like grains on the ground, clapped her hands, and stood up.

"You've really given me a really big problem."

Standing in front of Rhodes, Narcida, who was barely up to his chest, stood with her hands on her hips and spoke.

Suppressing the urge to rub his head, Rhodes smiled and replied, "Wasn't this resolved very well?"

As he spoke, he looked around carefully again.

Except for featherless chickens.

In this dream world, there are also many strange-looking mushroom chickens. Some have feathers that drag on the ground, making it difficult for them to walk. Some are as fat as balls, while others are tall and thin. Although they are poultry, they have sharp claws and beaks like eagles. Even through their feathers, you can see that they have strong muscles.

"what?"

Rod's eyes lit up at the sight of these new breeds of mushroom chickens that were being raised haphazardly. He immediately went over and picked up each of them to examine them.

Although it was in a dream, these fictional mushrooms felt exactly like real mushrooms to the touch.

But now is not the time to be surprised.

Following the method that Adbay taught him for identifying the quality of mushroom pheasants, Rod pinched and pressed them from left to right, pried open their beaks, tore open their wings, and grabbed their claws, carefully examining these new varieties of mushroom pheasants.

Nasita watched as Rhodes performed his skillful movements.

After thinking for a while...

She followed Rod's example and grabbed a mushroom and started feeling around in it.

Unfortunately.

Having never personally inspected poultry quality before, she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad at all. Instead, as she inspected them, she started to rub the mushroom chickens in her arms as if she were playing with a cat or dog.

And so we waited for quite a while.

Rod excitedly put down the last of the new mushroom chickens.

What a surprise.

While cultivating mushroom chickens resistant to desert climates, Naxida has also managed to cultivate so many special varieties of mushroom chickens.

For example, that big fat chicken is a standard broiler chicken. Its egg production rate is probably not good, but it has a lot of meat, just too much fat, so the taste may not be very good. However, in the desert where it is not possible to eat meat at every meal, or even where meat is not available in some places, if this kind of broiler chicken could be raised on a large scale, it could definitely solve the meat problem for a large number of people.

For example, there are those long-feathered mushroom chickens. Rod examined them and found that these chickens have brightly colored, upright, and handsome feathers. With a little trimming, they could be sold as ornamental chickens. They could just change the name, not "mushroom chicken," and give them any fancy name. As long as the hype is good enough, the wealthy people in the rainforest area would definitely buy them.

Then there's that muscular mushroom chicken. Rhodes examined its beak and claws and was quite certain that this thing definitely had a red vulture mixed in with its bloodline. Combined with its sturdy frame, which far surpassed that of other mushroom chickens, wasn't this perfect material for a fighting cock? It seems that there is no such activity as cockfighting in Sumeru. This mushroom chicken can be used as a fighting cock for hype, which can also satisfy the curiosity of those rich people who have nothing better to do than fart all day.

In the blink of an eye.
