Their commission was suspicious.

"So where are you going next? Do you have a destination in mind?"

“No, I want to talk to Wendy later, about the issues of Kanria 500 years ago, and some truths that I can’t access,” Ying said, turning her head to look at Wendy, who was sleeping soundly.

"Alright, come again tonight. Maybe Wendy will wake up then, but that's impossible now. After drinking ten cups of Wind God Wine, even a god would be asleep for half a day."

"So how about we grab lunch now? What would you like to eat? It's all free today," Chen Luo said.

Does this bar still charge admission?

“Of course I won’t accept it, but wouldn’t that make me seem generous? So what would you like to eat? How about braised Paimon? Or a Paimon burger? Or a Paimon cup feast?” Chen Luo asked.

"Huh? Huh?" Even Ying, who had been feeling a bit down just now, perked up when she heard such an outrageous menu.

What are all these things?

"Don't worry, it's just made to look like Paimon, but it's actually made of pasta inside."

"That won't work either, Paimon will be angry if he sees it!" Ying shook her head.

"But you didn't refuse, did you? So why don't you give it a try? After all, Paimon is all alone now and Amber has dragged him around Mondstadt to eat his way through the city. It's the perfect opportunity to try this set meal. You won't be able to try it when Paimon is with you, will you?"

"...But it still feels so weird, eating Paimon and stuff..."

"Then let's not eat it, and just use Paimon as a tray or a cup or something, how about that?"

"Tray and cup?"

"Well, to put it simply, it's tableware. Just put the little Paimon mascot there, and it'll be like Paimon is keeping you company while you eat. After all, it's quite lonely and not used to eating alone without Paimon, isn't it? Paimon will be happy to see that, right?" Chen Luo continued to tempt him.

"This... one of these, please." In the end, Ying couldn't resist her curiosity. She was really curious about what the Paimon Set Meal actually looked like.

And as Chen Luo said, Ying did feel a bit strange without Paimon's company.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay, please wait a moment." Chen Luo turned around and went into the small kitchen.

When Chen Luo came out again, he was carrying something that looked like a KFC tray, with a delicate little Paimon sitting on it, along with hamburgers, fries, cola, ketchup, chicken legs, and chicken skewers, but they all seemed to be double portions.

On the crown of that exquisite ornament, half the size of Paimon, was an edible little flag.

The aroma made Ying's stomach rumble, since she hadn't eaten lunch.

"Alright, take it with you," Chen Luo said with a smile.

"I can't eat this much, can I?" Ying hesitated, looking at the trays where everything was served in double portions.

“If you can’t finish it, just leave it. Wasting food is shameful, but you can have it for dinner. I offer to keep it warm here,” Chen Luo said.

"Okay, thank you." Ying stood up from her seat, picked up the tray, and then began to look around at the familiar faces in the distance.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"jingle!"

"Alo, shouldn't you renovate your bar door? I knocked for half a minute before it opened, almost making me lose face in front of Amber. I'll remember this grudge." Yura's unique way of greeting rang out.

"Manager, we're here... Oh, Ying, you're back! Wait, what's that in your hand...?"

After the wind chimes rang, Amber Yura and Paimon, who was flying ahead, happily flew in.

When Paimon flew in, he was naturally quite happy to see Luminous. However, Paimon also noticed the Paimon figurine on the tray and the edible flag stuck in Paimon's crown.

Then, the light went out of Paimon's eyes.

"Paimon, let me explain, it's not like that..." Ying suddenly panicked.

What happened to the promise that we wouldn't run into Paimon?

"Well, I suppose Ying shouldn't be so down now, right?" Chen Luo smiled with relief as he looked at the noisy Paimon, the constantly arguing Ying, and Amber trying to mediate.

"...Did you do this?" Yura, who wasn't very familiar with Ying, came over and sat down in front of Chen Luo.

Although Yura didn't know the extent of the incident, just from the fact that the door hadn't been opened for half a minute, Yura knew that Chen Luo must have done it on purpose.

Yura is very familiar with Chen Luoduo.

"You can eat anything, but you can't say anything..."

"Are you trying to say you didn't do this?"

"Of course I did it, otherwise how could my bar not open for half a minute after I called? But I had no choice. Ying seemed a bit down just now, so I had to find a way to liven her up," Chen Luo said innocently.

In Chen Luo's view, he was actually helping Ying alleviate her problem.

Moreover, Chen Luo didn't go too far. In fact, what was edible wasn't Paimon. Paimon was a statue created using the Puppeteer skill. What was actually edible was the flag.

Moreover, Chen Luo prepared two set meals on the plate for Yingmei.

One regular meal and one children's meal—if Yingmei were even a little smarter, she could have said that these were specially prepared for Paimon.

Of course, Yingmei probably wouldn't be that smart in a crisis, but that's not Chen Luo's problem.

You can't believe what this has to do with me, Chen Luo.

And this way, Yingmei can indeed stop being sad, because she no longer has time to be sad.

"You really are something. I don't think Ying will thank you," Yura said, rubbing her forehead.

"Of course I know that. Right now, she's looking at me with a murderous glint in her eye." Chen Luo nodded matter-of-factly.

However, it's not a big problem. As long as Yingmei's discount doesn't increase, it means her favorability hasn't decreased.

Therefore, with the favorability discount, interpersonal relationships become much simpler.

Perhaps Ying sensed her good intentions.

"Oh, by the way, would you like something?" Chen Luo asked Yura.

"Two servings of honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry, the best kind, please," Yura said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Oh my, is this for your good friend Amber? I'm so envious, you've never ordered food for me before." Chen Luo said sourly as he took out two servings of honey-glazed carrot and pork from under the bar.

"..." Yura's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Is this person picking a fight?

“Then when will another judgment be issued?” Yura suddenly said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 50 Primogems

"No way, Yura, you actually dare to eat this stuff? Wait a minute." Chen Luo turned around, took a couple of steps, went into the small kitchen, and came out carrying a plate of indescribable food.

“I’ve accepted your request, but honestly, I really don’t recommend you eat it. You can give it to Amber. But speaking of which, do you really have the courage to eat this stuff?” Chen Luo looked at Yura with some concern.

For Chen Luo, accepting and fulfilling a commission is his duty.

However, on the other hand, Chen Luo advised Youla not to try it, which was out of concern.

This commission is just a matter of making a decision, so it doesn't matter whether Yura eats it or not. Chen Luo has already completed his mission.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Give it to Amber? How could you even think of that?" Yura rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"But you really shouldn't eat it, this stuff is definitely not for human consumption." Chen Luo was still somewhat worried.

"Who said I wanted to eat this? I ordered this dish for you when I made the judgment," Yura said, tapping the table.

"Huh?" Chen Luo's voice was slightly distorted.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 100 Primogems

Chen Luo's facial expression has become somewhat distorted.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to order you some food? I did, and I've done it successfully. Whether you eat it or not is up to you." Yura rarely showed a smile before picking up two servings of honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry.

"...Fine, since you're the one who made me eat it, I'll eat a bite even if it kills me today!"

Yura, who had just picked up the honey-glazed carrot and pork pancake and was about to turn and leave, froze instantly upon hearing Chen Luo's words.

"Hey, wait, wait, I was just joking, don't actually eat it!" Yura panicked a little.

As a regular customer, Yura was quite familiar with the bar's signature set meal—a horrible dish that would annihilate everyone except Yuyuko…

In particular, Yola had eaten this food once on the very first day it was introduced, so the impression was even more profound.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up! If I faint in a bit, remember to wake me up within 10 minutes. I don't have that much time to waste on fainting." Chen Luo looked at the bubbling, terrifying food and felt waves of fear rising in his heart.

But for 100 Primogems, I'll risk it all!

"Don't be so stubborn! This stuff really tastes awful!" Yura was genuinely panicked this time.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Don't be reckless!】: Don't go and taste that damn, extremely unpalatable, and potentially intoxicating moment of judgment!

Reward: 50 Primogems

Difficulty: One star

"emmm..."

100 ＞ 50

"I'll risk it all!" After some rather haphazard calculations, Chen Luo ignored Yura's advice, picked up his chopsticks, took a small bite of the Judgment, and put it in his mouth.

Rounding it up, you can earn 50 raw stones with just one bite, so it's not unbearable.

Chen Luo was genuinely curious: was this dish really that bad? You bunch of useless trash, fainting after just one bite? It's just too...

"Boom!"

"..." Yura saw Chen Luo's head buried in the moment of judgment, and her hand, which she wanted to stop, froze in mid-air.

"Sigh, I really don't know if you're doing this for the reward or for me, but I'll remember this grudge." Yura sighed in despair, then took Chen Luo's face out of the judgment device and began wiping it with the tissues next to her.

"Holy crap, what's going on? What's going on? Isn't this the time for judgment? Has Alo finally lost his mind? He actually ate this stuff?"

The commotion here naturally couldn't escape the attention of those who were intentionally watching, so the Lawbringer of Knowledge arrived almost the instant Chen Luo fainted.

"Well, who knows?" Yura said somewhat guiltily.

Yura felt that it was best not to reveal the truth at this critical juncture, otherwise she might become the target of public criticism.

With the combined efforts of Yura and the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo's face was wiped quite clean, and then the Judgment Time was tossed aside.

Following her agreement with Chen Luo, Yura began trying to wake him up after about 10 minutes.

……

"That thing...it really tastes awful." Chen Luo looked at the judgment next to him with disgust.

However, perhaps because he made it himself, or perhaps because Chen Luo knew it better, Chen Luo didn't suffer from amnesia after eating it.

But it was precisely because of this that Chen Luo vaguely remembered exactly what was so unpleasant about the verdict.

It was truly awful in every way!

Moreover, after trying his own cooking for the first time, Chen Luo suddenly had some inspiration to improve the taste of Judgment Time, and could make Judgment Time even more unpalatable.

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

I wonder which lucky viewer will be the first to taste Chen Luo's improved version of the Judgment?

"So why did you have to be so stubborn and insist on taking the punishment?" the Herald of Knowledge couldn't help but ask.

“Well…” Chen Luo glanced at Yura, who instantly became nervous.

"Break through the limits," Chen Luo replied seriously.

"..." The Law of Knowledge suspected that Chen Luo was lying, but the Law of Knowledge had no evidence.

After all, in a bar, no one's mind-reading ability works.

Chapter 191 Want to see Chen Luo's barefoot seductive talent panel?

"Sigh, I've already had 5 random draws and 10,429 Primogems. Let me think about what I should buy," Chen Luo said, looking at his talent panel interface with a troubled expression.

Sometimes having too few rough stones is a problem, and sometimes having too many rough stones is also a problem.
