Star Train: Go crazy, all of you go crazy!

You can get there by going straight, but you have to go around a bit; there's a path that circles around the big tree several times.

"Let's go, let's turn right. That leads to the docks and a big square."

The four then headed towards the main square.

Upon arriving at the square, one finds numerous dining tables set up in the center.

Around the square, there are many small vendors selling snacks, and you can also see merchants squatting next to horse-drawn carriages calling out their wares.

Most of these merchants came to Liyue from other countries to do business.

Hu Tao pointed to a barbecue stall.

"Hey, that's Old Li's barbecue stall. His lamb skewers are absolutely amazing! Let's go!"

As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Since I, the head of this hall, have run into you, let's go, I'll treat you to some barbecue."

After saying that, Hu Tao walked towards the barbecue stall with her hands behind her back and a swaying gait.

Seeing this, Xing quickly followed.

Arriving at the barbecue stall, Hu Tao raised her chin.

"Hey~ Old Li, still not closing up shop this late?"

Old Li, a middle-aged man.

"Oh my, isn't this Master Hu? What brings you to Wangshu Inn today? Just finished seeing off a client?"

Walnut nodded.

"Yes, I just came down from Wuwang Slope. Grill some skewers for me, enough for four people."

Just now, I met three new friends on the street, and I treated them to a barbecue.

Old Li chuckled and agreed.

"Alright, please find a seat first. I'll bring it to you when it's done."

Hu Tao nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, you start baking."

Afterwards, Hu Tao led Xing, Ye Yun, and Wendy to an empty table and sat down.

Xing looked at Hu Tao and asked curiously.

"Hu Tao, that person seemed to treat you very respectfully just now?"

Walnut rested her hands behind her head and leaned back in her chair.

"Oh? You mean Old Li? Once on the road, he was attacked by a Hilichurl. I happened to be passing by on my way to deliver a client and saved him."

Xing nodded upon hearing this.

"So that's how it is. It's a life-saving grace. No wonder."

"By the way, Walnut, you mentioned several times that you were taking clients away. What do you do? Tour guide? Or something else?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao did not hide anything. Her identity was no secret in Liyue; everyone knew it.

"This is the head of the Wangsheng Hall, and our Wangsheng Hall is engaged in the funeral industry."

The so-called customers were the dead, who were sent to Wuwangpo.

Wuwang Slope is the boundary between life and death; our main task is to send the dead to the other side.

Xing was quite surprised to hear that Hu Tao was actually in the funeral industry.

"What? The funeral industry! So you deal with dead people every day?"

Walnut nodded.

"I guess so, but Ah Da and the others handle the general business, while I, the head of this hall, mainly take on some special business."

Upon hearing this, Xing became interested in the special business that Hu Tao had mentioned.

"Special business? Tell me more."

"That's what Hu Tao said casually."

"Those who died violently, those who died young, adventurers who died in the wild, and the Thousand Rock Army who died on the battlefield."

Most of these deceased individuals harbor resentment in their hearts.

Once dealt with, they easily transform into spirits or ghosts.

Upon hearing this, Xing clapped his hands.

"Wow, that's amazing! Can you take me with you next time? I want to see how you deliver packages to clients."

I mainly want to see ghosts!

Hu Tao glanced at Xing. She had been learning martial arts from her family's retainer since she was a child, and she could tell that Xing was no ordinary person.

"Alright, I'll call you next time there's business."

However, it's uncertain whether you'll still be in Liyue by then. Didn't you come here for tourism?

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately looked at Ye Yun, who was standing to the side.

"Ye Yun! Quick, bring out a teleportation portal!"

Ye Yun rolled her eyes.

"You're not being polite at all! Besides, once the teleportation portal is taken out, it can't land. Are you going to carry it the whole way?"

Let's talk about it when we get there.

Upon hearing this, Xing felt that Ye Yun's words made sense.

“That’s right, let’s talk about it when we get there. Hu Tao, I’ll go to your house later and ask Ye Yun to be the teleportation portal.”

From now on, I can visit you at your home anytime via the portal.

Hu Tao looked surprised and scrutinized Ye Yun.

"A teleportation portal? That's interesting, Ye Yun. You have such amazing things?"

This treasure is unlike anything I've ever seen before. Could it be that you are a celestial being?

Ye Yun shook his head.

"No, I am a businessman."

Hu Tao was about to ask Ye Yun what kind of things he was selling.

Just then, Old Li came over carrying a large plate of grilled skewers.

"Come, come, esteemed guests, make way. Master Hu, your skewers are ready."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao took out a Mora and handed it to Old Li.

"Thanks, Lao Li."

Old Li glanced at Mora, a troubled look on his face.

"Oh dear, you're giving me money again. I already told you..."

Hu Tao smiled.

"How can you eat without paying? We, Liyue, are a nation bound by contracts, and we can't break the rules."

"It's one thing that I saved you, but it's another thing that you have to pay for your food."

Old Li sighed and accepted Mora.

"Okay, then next time you come, I'll give you a discount, is that alright?"

Hu Tao did not object further.

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Old Li nodded and turned to get back to work.

Hu Tao picked up a few skewers of roasted mutton and distributed them to Xing, Ye Yun, and Wendy.

"Come on, come on, don't be shy, try Old Li's cooking."

Xing, Ye Yun, and Wendy took the lamb skewers and started eating.

Xing took a bite of the lamb skewer and nodded.

"These lamb skewers look good!"

Hu Tao was pleased to see Xing and felt very happy inside.

"That's right, Old Li's roasted mutton skills are quite good. The mutton he uses is all from wild goats."

Tomorrow, I'll take you to Wanmintang, a restaurant owned by a friend of mine.

The food there is the best.

In my opinion, her house is the best restaurant in all of Liyue.

"I guarantee you'll want to come back for more after you've had it once."

Upon hearing this, Xing's eyes lit up.

Is it really as amazing as you say?

Hu Tao made a solemn promise.

"Absolutely. The guest of this hall master is very picky about food. When he wants to eat, he always goes to either Xinyue Pavilion or Liuli Pavilion."

However, if Xiangling, who is also the master's friend, is on duty, he will definitely go to Wanmin Hall.

It's no use just talking; I'll take you to try it tomorrow and you'll see.

You guys are lucky; Xiangling came back from the mountains the day before yesterday.

Based on past experience, she will be at Wanmintang for the next two weeks.

Hoshimi Kurumi's description was so fantastical that it piqued my interest.

"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Chapter 172, Hu Tao: A cell phone? Good stuff!

After the four had eaten and drunk their fill, they set off again, heading towards Liyue Harbor.

Along the way, Hu Tao and Xing dealt with several waves of Hilichurls together and quickly became close friends who could talk about anything.

The two chattered away the whole way, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.

Soon, the four crossed a mountain stream, and the bustling, peaceful, and brightly lit Liyue Harbor came into view.

Hu Tao stretched heavily as she looked down at Liyue Harbor.

"Ah~ We've finally arrived~ Every time I get to this point, I can't help but feel sleepy~"

Let's go, let's go home!

Hu Tao hopped and skipped towards Liyue Harbor below.

Seeing this, Xing followed.

As the four of them walked down the hillside, Xing even took a picture with her phone when they passed the teleportation anchor point.

From this vantage point, you can perfectly capture the entire Liyue Harbor in a single shot.

Hu Tao became interested when she saw the phone in Xing's hand, and stayed close to Xing the whole way, listening to Xing explain about the phone.

Upon hearing that she could also play games, Hu Tao's eyes lit up instantly.

Hoshimi Kurumi was so interested in the phone that he even opened "Angry Pam" for her to play.

The gameplay involves using a slingshot to launch Pam, and hitting an antimatter legion soldier will kill him.

There is a limit to the number of Pams in each level, and there are also Pams with different functions.

Hu Tao was having a great time playing on her phone, even providing voiceovers.

"Whoosh~bang!"

soon.
