Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Beidou laughed heartily, just like a brother, and put her arm around Su Hao's shoulder. She chuckled and said, "More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. How about we have a drink?"

"I've heard that your Narukami sake is quite good. Could I try some? Don't worry, there's plenty of Mora!"

"Your wine sells out damn fast. I don't need any more Mora, but every time I want to buy some, it's all sold out."

“I was very interested in the wine tasting event that your Inazuma hosted last time, but I didn’t have time to go.”

"Now that you, the brewer of Narukami Sake, are here, I'm going to extort some money from you."

Upon hearing Beidou's words, Su Hao smiled. He didn't say anything more, but silently extended his hand.

"Shh-!"

With a flash of lightning, a spatial rift appeared, and Su Hao reached out and took out two sealed jars of Ming Shen Wine.

Su Hao placed the two jars of Narukami sake on the boat, looked at Beidou and chuckled, "Mora is out of the question. I'm not one to suffer losses. Beidou, you must have enough of this food."

"Good wine deserves good food. If your cooking doesn't satisfy me, then I'll have to let Ella have it."

"When the time comes, you'll have to figure out how to pay for the drinks and food."

Beidou was very forthright in response, patting her chest and repeatedly assuring everyone, "No problem!"

"Men! The banquet has begun! Watch me drink Su Hao under the table today!!!"

As Beidou uttered those words, the crew members beside him roared with anticipation.

The cooks began preparing the dishes, others started moving tables and chairs, and some even talked to Su Hao.

She said that after Beidou was drunk by Su Hao last time, she put a lot of effort into improving her alcohol tolerance, and now half a year has passed.

Sister Beidou had successfully drunk everyone on the boat under the table; the scene was quite astonishing. It was a pity that Su Hao wasn't there at the time.

But it's not too late now. Sister Beidou is not the same Sister Beidou she used to be, and Su Hao has to be careful.

Su Hao simply smiled and didn't say anything more, because after half a year of training...

His physical condition has also improved dramatically. For one thing, he can no longer be injured by ordinary weapons.

Even weapons crafted with meticulous care by master artisans would find it difficult to leave a wound on him.

Of course, if elemental power is added, that's a different story.

In short, if Beidou's alcohol tolerance improved, how could Su Hao's not have improved as well?

Thus, a great battle is about to begin, and everyone is curious about who the ultimate winner will be.

Coral Palace Xin Hai blinked, smiled slightly, and appeared exceptionally elegant. Clearly, even she hadn't expected that she had just embarked on a trip with Su Hao.

Such an interesting thing has happened, should we drink? She rarely drinks.

After all, alcohol wasn't a very good thing for her.

As the current human-god priestess of Haigi Island, Coral Palace Kokoro needs to manage all aspects of things, and she cannot afford to be lax in any way.

But now that I'm not on Haiji Island, I can relax a little.

Thinking this, Coral Palace Heart Sea stepped forward and asked Beidou and Su Hao if she could have a drink.

This surprised Su Hao and Bei Dou quite a bit. They didn't expect that this strategist would take the initiative to invite them to drink, but they both agreed to Coral Palace Xin Hai's offer.

Drink! You can drink anything! If you get drunk, just go to sleep! No problem! There are quite a few rooms on the Death Star.

Ella, Shin-haku, and Kuki Shinobu remained silent; they did not drink alcohol, or rather, they drank very little.

Because they had drunk Mingshen Wine far too many times at Su Hao's house.

Of course, even when several women came together, they never managed to get Su Hao drunk.

This was a battle they were destined to lose. At first, Ella, Shinhaku, and Kuki Shinobu wouldn't admit defeat, but now they felt that way.

Aside from heavyweights like the Dragon King Ruotu, probably no one can outdrink Su Hao.

Time passed quickly, and soon the sky darkened. Lights shone on the Death Star, and a lively atmosphere filled the air.

The banquet had clearly begun, and Su Hao's drinking contest with Beidou 2.0 had commenced.

"drink!"

Su Hao and Beidou toasted again, and Su Hao drank the Narukami sake in his bowl in one gulp.

"Hiccup~" Beidou hiccuped, her face was a little red, and her body was flashing with lightning. She said with some surprise, "This Narukami Sake is quite unusual."

"No wonder it's so famous. Everyone who's tried it says that not only does it taste amazing, but drinking it for a long time can also improve your health. This is no joke."

"To be honest, I feel like I hit the jackpot this time. I drank so much of your wine for free, and I probably got tens of millions of Mora from you for free."

As he said this, Beidou seemed a little guilty and looked at Su Hao, continuing, "How about this, Su Hao, I won't take advantage of you."

"Next time you need my help with anything, just ask, and I will definitely help you to the end."

The more Narukami Sake he drank, the more Hokuto could sense the power contained within it, and the more he felt that if he continued to drink like this...

Beidou could even sense that her physique and control over the lightning element would improve further, which would also enhance her strength.

From this perspective, she's really taking advantage of people; things that can enhance one's strength are sold at exorbitant prices outside.

She has now drunk half a vat of Ming Shen wine from Su Hao. Outside, it might only be worth a few million Mora, but nominally it is worth several million Mora.

Whether you can actually buy it is another matter entirely. The World Merchants Association, which is responsible for selling Mingshen Wine, also knows that scarcity increases value, and they understand the value of this wine as well.

Therefore, Beidou's claim that getting tens of millions of Mora from Su Hao for free is absolutely not an exaggeration.

If Beidou were to take advantage of Ningguang, he would definitely not be polite, because he had been tricked by her many times.

As for Su Hao, let's forget about him. He has provided a lot of help to Liyue and has been so friendly to us.

Even though the other person became a candidate for the next Thor, their attitude towards him didn't change at all, which shows that the other person truly considered him a friend.

As a mercenary, Beidou also has his own set of principles.

She would never harm her employer or friends unless they brought it upon themselves.

It is because of this set of principled actions, the way of handling things quickly and decisively, and the connections of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be revered as the Dragon King.

"Okay, I happen to have something I need your help with in the near future." Su Hao agreed with a smile; he did indeed have something he needed Beidou's help with.

But that's for the future. There's no rush now. When I go to Sumeru, I'll need to use the connections of the other side's mercenaries.

"Great!" Beidou laughed heartily. She liked Su Hao's personality; he just said what he wanted to say! What's the point of being so wishy-washy?

With that, Beidou drank another bowl of wine with Su Hao, and then started chatting about this and that again.

First, he inquired about the situation on Inazuma's side, then whether Ella's condition had been resolved, and finally whether Su Hao had lost his virginity.

Su Hao answered all the questions except the last one, and he also asked if there had been any interesting things happening in Liyue recently.

Half a year has passed, shouldn't Liyue have some events planned?

It is said that Mondstadt has recently started holding the Windflower Festival. If it weren't for the Great Tree King's urgent urging, the uncertainty of Black Aila's actions, and Venti's continued presence on the Isle of Time, the festival would have been a great success.

It seems Su Hao isn't going to Liyue, but rather to Mondstadt.

Of course, if that's the case, Lei Yingdian and a certain Mr. Zhong Li will probably come along too.

After all, Barbatos's mouth is like a machine gun, constantly spouting off in the chat group.

Several times, he even managed to persuade Mr. Zhongli, who was exceptionally good at cultivating his inner energy, to almost decide to cross the sea to the island of time to have a chat with him.

Wendy was so frightened that she didn't say anything sarcastic in the group chat for a long time, because she was worried that Zhongli might actually come.

The other party is definitely fine, but I and Mond are very likely to be in trouble.

"Speaking of which, there really is one."

While drinking, Beidou glanced at Su Hao and chuckled, "That's quite a coincidence. You know about the extinct ancient rock dragon lizard that Chef Xiangling of Wanmintang has... hiccup~"

Suddenly, Beidou seemed to remember something, hiccuped, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I almost forgot, you gave me that piece of Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard meat."

"This wine is a bit strong. I feel a tingling sensation and my mouth feels a little light."

"In short, Liyue, led by Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion, wants to study the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard meat in Xiangling's possession."

"An event was held for this purpose, called 'A Taste of Liyue.' The ancient rock dragon meat was secondary; the main thing was that the Glass Pavilion and the Crescent Moon Pavilion were fighting again."

"These two are old rivals. After all, your Inazuma side held a grand wine tasting competition and even had Thor as the referee."

"The two families put their heads together and decided to organize a 'Taste of Liyue' event, which is basically a food festival. Xiangling thought the event was good and agreed to their request."

"And then the two families..."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao knew that Beidou was clearly on its last legs; the other party was so drunk that he was starting to ramble on and on.

When asked what the event was, she ended up talking about old stories from the Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion, including those trivial and unrelated matters.

After being reminded several times by Su Hao and others, Beidou finally realized that he had been talking too much.

"Sorry, sorry~" Beidou ate some peanuts and stopped drinking heavily. She barely managed to stay sober and continued, "It is said that many big names in the culinary world are coming this time."

"Moreover, this event involves a very important person, who is said to be extremely interested in it."

"Therefore, she got the Seven Stars of Liyue to approve the event and said that she would come and taste the food of Liyue herself."

Beidou winked at Su Hao, somewhat smugly saying, "Ningguang told me this herself. To be honest, I was planning to tell you in a couple of days."

"As a result, you used this Narukami sake to get me drunk, and then tricked me into revealing what I had to say."

Su Hao was embarrassed. When did he try to trick Bei Dou into revealing information? Wasn't it Bei Dou who very "consciously" said it?

But... a big shot in Liyue? That one? There are people within the Seven Stars of Liyue, people on the side of the Liyue Sage, and Zhongli, the Geo Archon, is also there.

How come I didn't get any news about it? It's just an event; they shouldn't be hiding it from us, right?

However, it must be said that Su Hao was also interested in the food. While continuing to communicate with Beidou, he quietly opened the chat group.

[Su Hao: "@Keqing@Rhododendron@Guizhong@Zhongli, is Liyue holding an event recently, a culinary event?"]

[Su Hao: "Why didn't any of you tell me?! I only found out from others."]

[Gui Zhong: "Eh?! We were exposed so quickly?!"]

Upon hearing Gui Zhong's words, Su Hao's expression became somewhat subtle. He seemed to understand that the important figure was most likely Gui Zhong.

P.S.: "I'll be updating less these next couple of days, but I'll start updating more frequently again after that! Back to peak performance!!!"

And wishing everyone a happy 520 and 521 Valentine's Day~~~~
