Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Of course, it's also possible that I was too weak at the time, and no matter how I attacked, I looked ridiculous in front of General Raiden.

As for now, Su Hao is confident that he can fight a few rounds with General Lei Dian when he gets serious, and then continue to be beaten down by his opponent.

The more his strength increased, the more Su Hao could feel just how terrifying the god who ruled the mortal world was.

"Walnut's cooking is that terrifying?"

Su Hao looked at Zhong Li and asked, clearly not expecting that cooking by one person could rise to the level of a [law].

As for why he asked Zhongli, his refusal of Lei Dianzhen's request to not go live today was, in a sense, a way of confronting Zhongli.

This means I know you are the Rock King Emperor, so stop pretending.

Judging from his attitude just now, Zhong Li was already aware of this matter and has essentially acknowledged his identity in a semi-public manner.

Because if it were to be broadcast live, no one knows what unknown discoveries the Dragon King Ruoduo might make upon discovering the "truth."

Zhong Li was quite troubled by his old friend's lack of understanding of his true identity, as the friend regarded him as an outstanding junior.

He couldn't possibly jump out and talk to the Dragon King Ruoduo.

My old friend, I am Morax! Not the learned and talented Zhongli, the guest of the Hall of Rebirth, as you might imagine.

That's obviously inappropriate.

Getting back to the point, Zhong Li remained silent in response to Su Hao's question. He shook his head slightly, then nodded.

It seems I don't know which adjective to use to describe just how terrifying Walnut's cooking is.

Before encountering Su Hao and the others, Walnut Cuisine was actually edible in most ways, except for the Youyou March.

But after meeting Su Hao and the others, for some unknown reason, he began to frantically research cooking.

And it was rapidly developing along a remote road, which Zhongli didn't know how she did.

"........."

Seeing Zhong Li's expression of both nodding and shaking his head, Su Hao felt a sense of relief, realizing that he was glad he hadn't eaten the dishes made by Hu Tao.

At the same time, Su Hao was also a little curious as to why Lei Yingdian was fine after eating the walnut dish, while Wendy hadn't been bubbling for several minutes.

Is it because Lei's movies are in a spirit form, so nothing happened?

Wendy ingested the substance with her own body, which is why she didn't bubble up for a short time.

Regardless of the situation, Dr. Bai Shu from Bubulu soon arrived. He took a quick look at Paimon's condition and learned that he had become like this after eating Master Hu's cooking.

Bai Shu seemed to want to laugh, while the snake named Changsheng around his neck laughed loudly, "Another victim."

"In a sense, this Master Hu is really wasting his talents. He gave up being a master of poison making to become a chef."

Upon hearing Changsheng's words, Ying's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised that a snake could speak.

Ningguang, however, was used to such things. She looked at Baishu and Changsheng with some surprise and asked, "Is it really poison?"

Ningguang clearly didn't expect that Hu Tao would actually use poison to cook, but that's highly unlikely, since all the ingredients were selected by the Liyue official team.

With Hu Tao's skills, she could secretly add some ingredients, but what would she gain from that?

As the head of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao enjoys immense prestige in Liyue Harbor, even rivaling that of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

In a sense, the Liyue Sept is not even as scary as the Nutcracker.

How could she possibly poison the judges for a food competition?

"No, no, no." Bai Shu looked at Ning Guang and explained, "Chang Sheng was just a metaphor. In fact, Master Hu didn't really poison her. It's just that her methods were very ingenious."

"To be able to turn ingredients into something resembling poison, this person is actually..."

Bai Shu looked at Paimon, and fell silent for a moment because he didn't know the other's name.

“Her name is Paimon, and she’s my good friend,” Yingmei said, introducing Paimon.

“This Paimon,” Bai Shu continued, “is in this state because the moment she ate Master Hu’s food, a multitude of flavors exploded on her taste buds.”

To put it simply, when you eat this food, you are very likely to taste a variety of flavors such as sour, sweet, salty, bitter, spicy, and numbing.

"And these flavors burst forth in a very short moment. Perhaps this dish is indeed delicious, but it is beyond the range of human taste."

At this point, Bai Shu also showed a rather amused expression, and continued, "So you should understand why this Paimon fainted."

Zhongli nodded slightly; he understood completely.

Su Hao looked at Paimon with a subtle expression, while Paimon continued to roll his eyes and say it was delicious.

So, this stuff actually tastes pretty good? It's just that it's not something humans can taste?

"This is the fifth one already." Changsheng said gloatingly, "The things that Hall Master Hu made can even hurt spirits. I didn't expect her to be so brave as to eat two bites."

“Other vengeful spirits took a bite and turned into ghosts, rushing to Bubulu to save their lives overnight.”

The Ghostly March 2.0, belonging to Ying and Paimon, had not yet retreated, so Changsheng could clearly see that it had been disturbed twice.

“No, one of the bites was taken by Walnut,” Su Hao added.

Paimon barely ate two bites; one of them was eaten by Walnut.

"Huh?" Changsheng was clearly surprised. She hadn't expected that Hu Tao would eat her food without any problems. She couldn't help but complain, "Is she a monster?"

Bai Shu smiled slightly, said nothing more, and took out several doses of medicine that he had prepared in advance.

Upon learning that someone had eaten Master Hu's food, Bai Shu knew what had happened, so he brought medicine to save the person.

After forcibly administering the medication, Paimon finally stopped rolling his eyes and stopped repeating himself.

She peacefully closed her eyes and began to fall asleep, clearly needing some time to recover.

"Thank you for your help." Ying expressed her gratitude to Bai Shu. If it weren't for Bai Shu, Paimon probably wouldn't have been able to calm down for a while.

"It was nothing." Bai Shu smiled and nodded at Ying, then looked at Ning Guang and said, "Lady Ning Guang, then I'll be going now."

Ningguang nodded slightly and smiled at Bai Shu, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Bai. I will send someone to deliver Mora to Bubulu afterward."

Bai Shu did not refuse, because this was the reward he deserved.

And so, Bai Shu and Chang Sheng departed, and Paimon attained a sleep like that of an infant, collapsing onto the judges' table.

Ying silently took several photos of Paimon and posted them in the chat group to express her deepest condolences to her good friend.

Although their trip was short, she will always remember this friend.

I'm sure that once Paimon awakens and sees the message in the group, he'll be so angry that he'll give Ying a good Ora Ora punch.

She's not dead yet!!!

After Paimon fell asleep, the Liyue culinary adventure continued in full swing.

After Paimon was no longer around, Ying enjoyed many delicious foods.

Suddenly, she became a bit picky about food, and her rating dropped from 8-9 to 6-7.

Unless it's a dish that's truly eye-catching, Ying won't give it the same high score as before.

This left the chefs who were planning to take advantage of the situation feeling utterly dejected, but there was nothing they could do.

Why didn't they prepare the food immediately so that Ying and Paimon could taste it and get a high score?

But a truly skilled chef remains completely unmoved, and might even feel a little amused.

And so, Su Hao, Zhong Li, Ning Guang, and Ying continued to score, with some of them being strong enough to get 8 points from Zhong Li and 9 points from Ning Guang.

Another chef from Xinyuexuan prepared an incredibly delicious squirrel fish dish.

Su Hao thought it tasted delicious and gave it a 10/10!

Ying also gave it a score of 10.

Zhongli gave it an 8 out of 10, saying it was very delicious, but his technique was flawless; the only problem was that the ingredients weren't very fresh, and it wasn't his fault.

Ningguang said it was very good, but not quite up to her expectations, so she could only give it a score of 9.

Although he gave it an 8 out of 10, the chef from Xinyuexuan nodded and expressed his great admiration for Zhongli.

Yes, the food given to him, which was the fish, was already dead when it was delivered to him.

There is still some difference in the texture of live fish and dead fish, although with his superb skills, this difference is almost negligible.

But the fact that it is not there does not mean that it is not there. Therefore, the chef greatly admired Mr. Zhongli.

You can even tell the difference by taste! No wonder you're Mr. Zhongli.

This chef from Xinyuexuan thus became the one with the highest score in the morning session.

Soon, all the chefs in the morning session had finished showcasing their skills.

The chefs arrived at lunchtime, but Paimon still hadn't woken up.

The chefs at lunchtime showcased their skills, creating one delicious dish after another, with both the presentation and taste being much more impressive than those at the morning session.

A chef named Yanxiao even scored 40 points with his Golden Shrimp Balls.

Yes, 40 points. Su Hao, Ying, Zhong Li, and Ning Guang all gave 10 points, meaning Yan Xiao had the highest score in the noon session.

This caused some people to gasp in shock. Whose subordinates were these?! How could they be so ferocious?!

How could one possibly earn ten points from Mr. Zhongli and the elderly Ningguang?!

After making a few inquiries, I learned that Yan Xiao was the cook at Wangshu Inn. He had been working as a cook at Wangshu Inn for a long time, keeping a low profile.

Everyone knows that the food at Wangshu Inn is delicious, but there are quite a few chefs at that inn as well.

Just like the Liyue Harbor restaurants like the Liyue Pavilion, Crescent Moon Pavilion, and Wanmin Hall, there are quite a few chefs in charge of cooking.

It's truly astonishing that an unknown chef could score forty points.

In the eyes of the onlookers, the chefs most likely to receive a score of 40 were the head chefs of Liuliting, Xinyuexuan, and Wanmintang.

As a result, the chef at Xinyuexuan did not receive a high score of forty due to issues with the ingredients.

This guy Yanxiao actually got it?!

No one will talk about insider dealings, because who among these people could be bribed!

Mr. Zhongli has a very good reputation in Liyue Harbor. He is upright and incorruptible, and he dares to speak out against even the Emperor.

Ningguang is the same; she is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and apart from the Emperor, no one in Liyue can speak ill of her.

Even immortals are the same.
