I'm in the Teyvat running group

But no one, including Yunxiu herself, could do it!

Yunxiu's luck is only 16 points, which is a 3-point bonus. Although her cooking skills are not bad, with 6 points of proficiency, even with the Rock King's blessing, the minimum guaranteed success is only 13 points. She must roll an 8 or higher to reliably succeed, with a failure rate of about 40%...

You may not know what a -30 correction value means.

The average human IQ in DND is around 8 to 12, which is the range of -1 to +1.

-30 can instantly reduce your IQ to that of an amoeba.

And the cooking skill modifier is -30...

Yunxiu seemed to understand why the cooking in Lei's movies was so bad...

Yunxiu hurriedly returned the kitchen knife to Xiangling, chuckled twice, and quickly finished her meal. Since the servants of the Shefengxing Society helped with the dishes, she didn't cause any further trouble for the others.

Returning Prototype No. 29 to Sugar, and watching Xiangling happily playing with her new toys in the kitchen, Yunxiu, unusually relaxed, walked down from the magistrate's residence and headed towards Hanamizaka.

Just as she reached the entrance of "Yaedo", she saw a familiar figure walking out of Yaedo with several comic books in her hand. When she saw Yunxiu, her expression changed, and she hid the comic books in her arms before pretending to be nonchalant and walking out.

"Miss Xiaogong, you're here to buy things at Yaedo too?" Yunxiu said with a smile, "Could you also take a look at what good works you have recently? I'd like to know about Inazuma's recent popularity."

"Huh? Huh!" Xiaogong's face showed a hint of shyness: "I...I have things to do today...Tomorrow, is tomorrow okay?"

She tried to leave in a panic, but accidentally stepped on her shoelace. Yunxiu caught her quickly, but the comic books fell to the ground.

"Ah...can you please stop looking..."

"Forehead……"

But the +13 Intelligence was so useful at this moment that I was able to spot the titles of several books with just a glance!

"The Demon-Slaying Chronicles of Master Yunxiu", "Master Yunxiu of Liyue", "Mr. Yun and Love Sickness", "The Beginner's Guide to Love for a Celestial Mage"...

Not only are none of them the first volume, indicating that this is not the first time they have been bought, but they are all first-print limited editions, including bonus items, shikishi (art boards), and extra chapters!

Xiaogong covered her face and knelt down in embarrassment:

"We've been discovered..."

Chapter 134 The Princess with Fireworks Rising: Which Side Should We Watch From? (First Update on Tuesday!)

"Forehead……"

Yunxiu immediately stuffed several light novels into her storage bag, grabbed Xiaogong, and quickly left the place. They walked swiftly along the path of Hanamizaka, avoiding one pedestrian after another.

Only when he saw the archway of Wuyou Pavilion did he lead Xiaogong inside.

The proprietress, Erika Okazaki, greeted us with a beaming smile: "Please have a seat, sir. What would you like...?"

"Private room."

"Okay, please follow me."

Surprisingly, Xiao Gong remained silent the entire way, sitting quietly on the cushion, playing with her hair, her face flushed with embarrassment.

This puzzled Yunxiu somewhat, mainly because Xiaogong had always been a very open and generous character in the game.

"What would you like to eat?" Yunxiu decided to break the awkward silence a little, so she took the initiative to hand over the menu.

"Anything is fine...no need to be so formal."

“Alright, Ms. Okazaki, please have some desserts and snacks.” Yunxiu handed the menu to Erika Okazaki, then looked at Yoomiya and said, “Don’t worry, I can pretend I didn’t see anything.”

"No...no..."

"what?"

"Actually, I didn't expect... to meet you," Yomiya said softly. "Besides, even Ayaka doesn't know that I like watching these kinds of things..."

Um... I thought there was some other reason.

He pulled out a new, large storage bag, put several comic books inside, and handed it to Xiaogong, saying, "Use this to store them from now on. There's a small space inside where you can read comics directly..."

"Ah...really? Really!" Yomiya excitedly leaned closer, her beautiful eyes wide open: "So you really are someone who knows how to prepare gifts for girls, the manga wasn't wrong!"

"what……?"

Seeing Yunxiu's surprised expression, Xiaogong immediately took the large storage bag, took out the book "The Beginner's Guide to Love for Immortal Mages" that Yunxiu had just put in, tore off the packaging, opened one of the pages, and handed it to Yunxiu.

Huh? Yunxiu took it and saw that it was a story about how she used all sorts of methods, such as transformation magic, gifts, and various props, to pick up girls. The cartoonist was obviously a woman. The delicate brushstrokes and the beautiful art style left Yunxiu speechless.

Especially when he saw that he had actually won over Princess Tsukihime with gifts and transformations, leading to an indescribable scene, his sarcastic spirit immediately flared up.

Where did this cartoonist get my authorization? Why does it say that it was personally authorized by me?

But the next moment, Yunxiu immediately remembered that it was indeed the authorization he had given!

Xiangling once told him that Tsukihime wanted to adapt his story into various comics and light novels, and had Yanfei handle various contract matters.

Afterwards, Xiangling seemed to bring some contracts for him to sign, but he was in a hurry to start the game with Xiangling, so he signed them carelessly while they were choosing heroes and being all lovey-dovey. He didn't notice anything afterward...

"...? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiaogong hurriedly brought over the other books as well. Yunxiu casually flipped through them, her head almost splitting open.

He was particularly speechless when he saw the advertisement on the cover. The second volume of "The Demon-Subduing Chronicles of Master Yunxiu" had already sold nine million copies!

He vaguely remembered that Tsukihime had mentioned that the manga sold 1.4 million copies in pre-sales, and Tsukihime, as one of the managers, received 1 million Mora.

Based on the fact that Xiangling earns at least five to ten Mora in royalties per book, these comic series have brought her at least several hundred million Mora in revenue...

Yunxiu herself doesn't really care about the amount of money. Although, based on the current situation, Xiangling can earn more than 1 billion Mora every year from these works, making her a rich woman, this is what she deserves.

Moreover, the price of that kitchen knife bestowed by Lei Jun as a gift far exceeds 10 billion Mora; the value of such a divine weapon cannot be measured in money…

"If we disregard the equipment I'm wearing, I seem to be the poorest person among the people around me..." Yunxiu said speechlessly, then returned the comics to Xiaogong and invited her to eat Wuyouting's special desserts and snacks together.

After discovering that Yunxiu truly meant no harm, Xiaogong and Yunxiu quickly became acquainted, and Xiaogong returned to her energetic self.

While eating dessert, she chatted with Yunxiu about interesting things in comics. As a veteran anime fan, Yunxiu knew a lot about these things and often made Xiaogong laugh out loud with just a few words.

Especially when Yunxiu talked about her recent adventure in Yuanxia Palace, the girl's eyes revealed a look of longing, and she murmured to herself, "I want an adventure like that too. I want to see the biggest meteor shower in Teyvat, and I also want to find out the story of the legendary 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'..."

“I can’t deal with the meteor shower right now, but I do know a little about the ‘Night Parade of One Hundred Demons’,” Yunxiu said with a smile. “If Miss Xiaogong doesn’t mind, I can take you to find someone who should know more about these things.”

Really? Really?

"Of course it's true."

"Then let's set off quickly!" Xiaogong finished all the desserts in no time and quickly pulled Yunxiu to her feet.

"But we have to wait until they go to work tomorrow..."

“That makes sense…” Xiaogong said with a troubled expression, “Then we’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.”

After taking Xiaogong downstairs and easily paying the bill, Yunxiu escorted her all the way to her doorstep in Hanamisaka. After saying goodbye, Yunxiu leisurely walked to the entrance of the magistrate's office, where she saw Jiuqi Shinobu discussing contract matters with the Kamisato siblings.

"Why don't you three go inside and talk?" Yunxiu walked forward with a smile and saw the three of them exchanging documents.

“The matter is not important, and it’s in its final stages. We’ll be sending the documents out soon.” Ayato Kamisato said with a smile, “Thanks to Mr. Yunxiu’s full authorization, the company’s magistrate quickly secured all the channels, and the first batch of Fengling Cave Yuanjian will soon be rolled out in Inazuma.”

"The storage bag issue has also been basically resolved. Miss Hisaki Shinobu is here to handle these documents." Ayato Kamisato handed a document to Yunxiu: "Fortunately, Miss Sugar was here as well, so signing didn't take too much effort."

"Oh..." As if suddenly remembering something, Yunxiu flicked her hand, and two pieces of paper appeared out of thin air. Yunxiu quickly wrote two letters, sealed them, and handed them to Jiuqi Ren, saying, "Since Miss Jiuqi Ren is going to Liyue and Mondstadt, please deliver these two letters to Dawn Winery."

“This…” Hisaki Shinobu looked at Kamisato Ayato with a probing gaze.

“Mr. Yun’s words mean that I am equal to him in Inazuma,” Ayato Kamisato said decisively.

"Okay, Mr. Yun." Hisaki Shinobu quickly put away the two letters and turned to leave.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Ayato Kamisato chuckled, patted Ayaka Kamisato's head, and headed straight for the castle tower.

"Husband, is there something you need?" Ayaka Kamisato took Yunxiu's hand and led her to the magistrate's lounge. "It's okay if you don't want to tell Ayaka."

"No... do you still remember that giant sheep and that book?"

Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to tell Ayaka Kamisato about it, mainly because the magistrate of the company, being a local strongman in Inazuma, might be able to uncover some clues: "Diluc, the owner of the Dawn Winery in Mondstadt, might know something. I plan to write to him to inquire about the situation."

After thinking for a while, he added, "If possible, please ask the company magistrate to also help me look in Inazuma."

"Yes, my lord, I will give the order right away." Ayaka Kamisato casually summoned a maid, gave her a few instructions, and the maid nodded. In a flash, she disappeared from the spot!

Seeing Yunxiu's strange look, Ayaka Kamisato explained, "About a third of those serving the head of the shrine are ninjas from the final rank. If my husband needs anything, he can give them orders at any time. I have already made all the arrangements."

“I’m not surprised by that…” Yunxiu thought for a moment: “Is there a ninja named ‘Saoyou’ in the final episodes?”

"Huh? No."

"Ah, then it's alright..."

“But if my husband is talking about a little tanuki girl,” Ayaka Kamisato thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, “Narukami Shrine seems to have such a strange shrine maiden, known as the ‘Little Shrine Maiden Who Never Grows.’”

Well! Even though I've changed jobs, the only difference is that I haven't escaped Yae no Miko's grasp...

"Does my husband need something from her? I can help arrange it if needed."

"No need... Besides, I'm going to Narukami Shrine tomorrow anyway."

After chatting with Ayaka Kamisato for a while, Yunxiu escorted her back to her study to work before returning to her own room to rest.

As for tonight...

Of course, it was time to play ranked with Xiangling, who was away from home. After the ranked game, the two chatted about their recent funny stories, especially after hearing that Thor had asked him to cook and made a complete mess of the kitchen. Yunxiu finally understood how he got the knife...

Speaking of which, including the robe and Guoba doll given to her by Yunxiu, Xiangling already has three pretty good pieces of equipment...

The two chatted until the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep due to drowsiness.

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

The next morning, Yunxiu saw Yoomiya in Hanamizaka wearing a familiar outfit.

Her golden hair was tied back with red knotted rope and goldfish hair ornaments, and decorated with temari balls and candy boxes. She wore a strange, orange-red outfit printed with firework patterns, and her shoulders and thighs were tightly wrapped with bandages.

Although the skin no longer had any markings, it was still bound with a red shimenawa rope, and a huge longbow and quiver were carried on its back, making it almost completely different from the Yoi-no-miya I had seen a few days ago.

"Xiaogong, what is this...?" Yunxiu asked in surprise. He had initially thought that he would no longer see Xiaogong in this outfit after the timeline was changed!

“Adventure? Of course, you should dress appropriately for adventure!” Xiaogong said happily. “Of course, if Yunxiu-jun doesn’t think it’s good enough, I can change it now.”

"It's okay, it's okay! This is fantastic, it's exactly the feeling I like..."

"Sigh...sigh!" Xiaogong's face suddenly turned red: "What...what feeling of liking...don't say things like that so easily."

“It’s not casual, it’s definitely the feeling I like.” Yunxiu chuckled, took Xiaogong’s hand, and the two flew towards Narukami Shrine.
