Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

It is said that a small accident happened at Ruo Tuo Ji's place, and Gui Zhong and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun went to Gu Yun Ge together, so they didn't have time to come and be judges.

Yes, the original judge was Gui Zhong, and she planned to sample the current cuisine of Liyue.

However, Ruo Tuoji's matter was more important, so she had no choice but to put aside her affairs here and go to Gu Yun Pavilion.

Zhongli was also forcibly pulled in to replace Guizhong as a judge, but given his prestige in Liyue Harbor, no one could find fault with him.

After all, Mr. Zhongli of the Rebirth Hall knew a little about everything, and in the areas where he had some knowledge, anyone who argued with him was completely convinced by his arguments.

So when he was a judge, Ningguang didn't say much.

"Are you doing this on someone's behalf?" Paimon scratched his head, looking at Zhongli's helpless expression, and sighed, "It seems you've had a tough time, Zhongli. But it's alright, there will definitely be an unimaginable amount of delicious food for us to enjoy today."

"So cheer up! What's that saying? Only happiness and good food should never be missed!"

Zhongli smiled, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Ying looked at Zhongli and Ningguang with some suspicion, because Su Hao had said that the Rock King Emperor was very likely to participate in this food event.

So, does that mean that one of Zhongli and Ningguang is very likely to be the Rock King Emperor?

Ying looked at Ningguang, who was smiling. She didn't feel any particular danger from Ningguang, and... no matter how you looked at it.

The other party doesn't seem like the Rock God at all; they're more like the leader of the group, Jean.

As for Mr. Zhongli... Ying realized his extraordinary nature the moment she first met him.

Thinking about Gui Zhong's relationship with Zhong Li, Ying seemed to have discovered something, but she didn't say anything and remained silent.

Because she remembered that in the chat group, the Dragon King Ruo Tuo kept saying how good his relationship was with the Rock King Emperor.

Everyone kept saying yes, yes, yes, but Mr. Zhongli remained silent throughout, not even sending any emojis.

For a moment, Ying felt that she had discovered something, but she couldn't be sure yet. She could only wait a while before asking Mr. Zhongli whether the other party was indeed the Rock King Emperor.

Ying had a premonition that if she asked, Mr. Zhongli would definitely tell her his true identity.

"Please have a seat, everyone."

Seeing that the atmosphere for the exchange was about right, Ningguang asked Su Hao, Ying, and Paimon to sit down and continue the discussion.

And so, the judges arrived, and the competition was about to begin.

Ningguang's secretary began explaining the competition rules: within two hours, hundreds of chefs would prepare their signature dishes.

Food competitions don't need to be fancy; the most important thing is that the food tastes good.

But in addition to being delicious, making the food look appealing can also earn extra points from the judges.

Of course, if someone were to drug the food and break the laws of Liyue, the Thousand Rock Army present would apprehend them on the spot.

Due to the large number of participants, the preliminary rounds were divided into three sessions: morning, noon, and evening. Only fifty out of hundreds of chefs were able to pass the preliminary rounds.

After explaining the rules, the secretary coughed a few times and began to introduce the four judges for this "A Bite of Liyue" event.

"The first one is Luminous and Paimon. Luminous is a knight of honor from Mondstadt, and Paimon is her partner."

"They are amazing. They have traveled to many places and tasted many kinds of food. They will definitely give the most fair rating."

Sitting in their chairs, Ying and Paimon waved to the audience and chefs below the stage.

The crowd whispered among themselves, clearly not recognizing Ying and Paimon, as neither of them was particularly famous.

In Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius and the people know about the two of them, but Mondstadt is Mondstadt, and Liyue is Liyue.

Since Luminous and Paimon haven't accomplished anything significant in Liyue yet, it's perfectly normal for the people to be puzzled.

"The second one is Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth."

Ningguang's secretary continued, "I believe everyone in Liyue Harbor is familiar with this person; Mr. Zhongli is a renowned gourmet connoisseur."

"Even his tongue, known as the tongue of God, can taste food, good or bad, down to how much spice was added, just by tasting it slightly."

"I believe that many of the chefs present have witnessed Mr. Zhongli's skill."

At this point, the people and chefs present began to whisper among themselves again.

Many chefs' eyes lit up as they looked at Mr. Zhongli sitting above, drinking tea, and felt confident that they had secured their position!

The reason why is that Mr. Zhongli once dined at their restaurant and gave it a very high rating.

Of course, some people looked rather gloomy, feeling that if Mr. Zhongli were there, their little tricks would probably not be able to fool him at all.

Some foreigners who came to watch the spectacle were not very clear about Mr. Zhongli's identity and asked those in the know nearby.

Before long, the legendary things that Mr. Zhongli had done were known to the passersby present through insiders.

"And, Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue."

Ningguang's secretary began to introduce Ningguang, continuing, "I believe everyone is familiar with Lady Ningguang, as she is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and everyone has heard her story to some extent."

"But what you all don't know is that Lady Ningguang is a gourmet. She has tasted delicacies that are rarely seen in the Seven Kingdoms. If you want to get high scores from her, it will probably be a bit difficult."

Actually, the secretary didn't need to explain; both chefs and the general public knew this.

Ningguang is no ordinary woman. She is not only one of the seven stars of Liyue, but also the richest woman in Liyue, with over 10 billion Mora in her hands!

Furthermore, she has an extremely keen sense of business opportunities, and almost no businessman can gain an advantage from her.

Therefore, many businessmen invited Ningguang to dinner, and some even spent millions of Mora to prepare a meal specifically for her.

They only wanted to get a few business opportunities from her so they could make a fortune.

Such an important person must have tasted many delicacies, so getting a high score from her will definitely not be an easy task.

Thinking this, everyone turned their attention to the stage, wanting to see who the last judge was, that was actually ranked ahead of Ningguang.

The secretary gave a mysterious smile and continued, looking at the people below, "Last one, you all should know that a major event recently happened in Inazuma."

"?"

Some people were puzzled and didn't quite understand what major event had happened on Inazuma's side.

Most people seemed to have realized something and showed rather shocked expressions.

Could it be that matter?!

If we were to say what major event has happened in Inazuma recently, it would undoubtedly be the cancellation of both the national lockdown order and the eye-hunting order.

Besides this, there was another major event: Inazuma's Raiden General had chosen his next successor.

Yes, the next heir, meaning if one day she doesn't want to be a general anymore, or if something unexpected happens.

So, the next Raiden General of Inazuma will be the successor.

Shockingly, the next Raiden General in Inazuma will be a human.

According to rumors, the other party was suspected to be the next successor of the Emperor during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and its veracity cannot be confirmed.

“That’s right.” Seeing that the atmosphere had gotten this far, the secretary immediately added, “Our last judge is Su Hao, the next Thunder General of Inazuma, who is also the candidate for the next Thor.”

"He came to Liyue as a guest, and he was the one who cut the meat of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, a prize for this competition, and handed it over to Chef Xiangling of Wanmin Hall."

"And I'll tell you a little secret: Su Hao is not only the next Thor, but he has also inherited the Emperor's legacy."

These words caused a sensation throughout the venue, and everyone looked at Su Hao on the judges' panel.

Su Hao looked at Ning Guang with a somewhat subtle expression, assuming it was her arrangement.

"Hmm... This is the Emperor's arrangement."

Ningguang smiled slightly and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Last night, the Emperor told me in a dream that it was time to announce that you possess his inheritance."

"Although I don't know why the Emperor did that, he must have had a deeper meaning in doing so."

Normally, Ningguang wouldn't dare to do this, for fear of angering Inazuma's Thunder General and causing Su Hao to feel resentment.

But now that the Emperor has spoken, she's just going along with it.

Although she didn't know why the Emperor wanted to compete with the Thunder God for Su Hao, the gods must have had their reasons for doing so, and she just needed to do as they said.

Chapter 250 The Vast March 2.0

All of this was arranged by the Emperor.

Upon learning of this, both Ying and Su Hao instinctively looked at Zhong Li.

Zhongli, on the other hand, remained unperturbed, quietly drinking his tea as if nothing had happened, as if the whole affair was none of his concern.

Paimon's eyes widened again as he exclaimed, "Emperor Rock King?! Wait! Su Hao, you are Emperor Rock King's successor?"

"But didn't you say that you only received the inheritance of the Rock King Emperor?"

Although Paimon knew that Su Hao had obtained the inheritance of the Rock King Emperor, he was unaware that Su Hao was also the successor of the Rock King Emperor.

Heirs and inheritance are two completely different concepts.

"No, no, no." Su Hao shook his head and looked at Paimon seriously, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't become the successor of the Rock King Emperor yet."

"And that Rock King Emperor also said that I only received his inheritance."

Yes, even the Rock King Emperor himself hasn't said that Su Hao is his successor.

The dream message was simply to tell Ningguang that she could reveal that Su Hao had obtained his inheritance.

Although to the people below, Su Hao's acquisition of the Emperor's inheritance meant he was undoubtedly the Emperor's successor.

How could someone who isn't the heir possibly inherit the Emperor's legacy?!

As for the next Thor?! What's there to say? Su Hao isn't Thor yet!

Since he's not Thor, why can't he be the next Rock God?

Not only was the scene in chaos, but the chat group was also in turmoil.

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "The scene is so lively!"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "I didn't expect Liyue to actually release that information."]

[Raiden Shin: "What news?"]

[Lei Movie: "Weren't we going to a food event? How did this accident happen?"]

Paimon: "It wasn't exactly an accident; it's just that the fact that Su Hao obtained the Rock King Emperor's inheritance was made public."
