Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"Eight hundred Mora, takeout or eat here?" Ke Qing saw that the other person had spoken, so she started working. She picked up a knife and began to cook. Judging from her skillful movements, she had done this more than once.

Ella opened the bag and took out 800 Mora, placing them in front of Keqing.

"Let's eat here." If it were any other offal shop, Su Hao might have just packed up and run away, but now he wanted to stay and see how Yuheng Star's business was doing.

After all, Ah Qing loved me deeply in my past life, and she was the one who visited me the most frequently among all the five stars—a full five stars!

Five stars in the Destiny constellation!

Ke Qing glanced at Su Hao again, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

In no time, two bowls of beef offal were ready, and she served them to Su Hao and Ella.

Looking at their clothes, Keqing asked, "Judging from your attire, you seem to be from Inazuma and Mondstadt."

Su Hao's outfit has a strong Inazuma style, while Ella's maid outfit has a strong Mondstadt style.

"We are Inazuma people who just disembarked from the Southern Cross ship today, and she is my maid." Su Hao didn't try to hide anything and directly revealed his background.

Even if he concealed it, Keqing would probably find out where he came from the next day.

After all, they are the Seven Stars of Liyue, the most powerful people in Liyue besides the immortals and the Emperor.

"Inazuma? You came from Inazuma?" Ke Qing looked at Su Hao with some surprise, and asked doubtfully, "Did you smuggle yourself in from Inazuma?"

"I heard that Inazuma imposed a country-lockdown order and an eye-hunting order, so you escaped?"

As one of the Liyue Seven Stars, Keqing has some understanding of the situation on Inazuma's side.

Furthermore, there are quite a few Inazuma people temporarily residing in Liyue, and even a considerable number of Inazuma people who have smuggled themselves out of Inazuma to escape.

It's worth noting that Inazuma is relatively close to Liyue, so it's not surprising that Inazuma people would sneak over to Liyue.

"Well... strictly speaking, I didn't come here illegally." Su Hao didn't bother explaining the issue again. He looked at Ke Qing and asked, "Boss, your knife skills don't seem like those of an ordinary person. How come you're selling beef offal here?"

Curious, very curious, Su Hao was still very curious as to why Ke Qing would come here to sell beef offal.

"Your attention is quite sharp." Ke Qing didn't expect the other party to determine that she was not an ordinary person just by her knife skills. She looked at the bustling food street and said calmly, "What do you think of this scene?"

Ke Qing also knew that Su Hao and Ella were not ordinary people. After all, a person's temperament cannot lie, and these two were far different from ordinary people.

Although Su Hao looked ordinary, if the other party could tell that he was not an ordinary person, then he himself was not an ordinary person either.

Whether it was on a whim or because staying here was too boring, Ke Qing started talking to Su Hao, asking him what he thought of the scene before them.

"It's very prosperous and beautiful. It truly deserves to be called a place where gold from all over the world gathers." Su Hao expressed his intuitive feeling.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ke Qing's eyes, and she sighed, "Really? Is that how you see it too?"

"What? Isn't prosperity good?" Su Hao sensed Ke Qing's disappointment and asked curiously, "You know, Inazuma isn't so prosperous every night. At this time... the people of Inazuma either go to sleep early or stay quietly at home."

"Inazuma only gets lively during festivals. Isn't that a bad thing for Liyue?"

Ke Qing shook her head slightly, indicating that this was not the reason. She looked at the people coming and going in front of her and said calmly, "I am not saying that prosperity is bad, but rather the crisis hidden beneath this prosperity."

"You should know that the current prosperity is just a warm-up for the upcoming Immortal Invocation Ceremony."

"But once the ritual to invite immortals is over, the food street may still be there, but it won't be as lively as it has been these past few days."

"The prosperity you see right now is nothing more than a result of a divine ritual."

Su Hao blinked, realizing why Ke Qing was here.

She came to the food street to sell beef offal, probably just to relax and observe the various aspects of human life.

Within the Seven Stars of Liyue, perhaps only she is contemplating what will become of humanity after the Emperor's departure, and whether what the Emperor did was truly right.

And... after all these years of Emperor's protection of Liyue, what contributions have they humans made to Emperor?

With this in mind, Keqing, despite being one of the Seven Stars, still repeatedly performed seemingly lowly jobs among the common people, such as selling offal.

“I think you’re wrong.” At this moment, Su Hao retorted to Ke Qing.

"Oh?" Ke Qing didn't mind being refuted. She looked at Su Hao with some anticipation and asked, "How did I say something wrong?"

"If your answer is very good, I'll treat you to a bowl of deluxe beef offal."

Su Hao looked at Ke Qing, or rather, at the bustling food street. He picked up his chopsticks, pointed at Ke Qing, and slowly said, "You said this prosperity was brought about by the divine festival."

"But have you ever considered that the creation of this prosperity was done by gods?"

"In my opinion, the creators of this prosperity are the nameless stall owners and the people who come here because of their reputation."

"The gods cannot represent everything. Our Inazuma shogun spends all her time in the castle tower. In the past two years, the orders she has issued are the seclusion order and the eye-hunting order."

"Even so, Inazuma still has its own festivals and its own lively and bustling days."

"This was not brought by the gods, but created by people themselves."

Su Hao's words stunned Ke Qing, though she wasn't shocked by them.

Rather... she could sense that Su Hao was different from other believers of the gods, regardless of who was facing prosperity or who created it.

They will all readily declare that it was God who brought about all of this. Even if you try to reason with them, they will insist that God is right, that God is supreme, and that God knows everything.

However, Su Hao affirmed the role of "human beings." God is not necessarily omnipotent, and the creation of this bustling food street is not only due to the efforts of God.

The most important thing... is these all sorts of stall owners and the people coming and going.

Ke Qing's gaze towards Su Hao changed slightly. She had a premonition that this male Inazuma in front of her seemed to be the same kind of person as her.

"What's your name?" Ke Qing asked Su Hao proactively. She wanted to know his name so that... she could find a way to get him into her own web of connections.

What?! Inazuma?! What's wrong with Inazuma?! Can't Inazuma work in Liyue?! That's ridiculous!

Furthermore, Keqing could clearly sense from his words that he was quite dissatisfied with Inazuma as he was now. So what if that's the case?! Since he's already dissatisfied with Inazuma anyway, he might as well just join Liyue!

"Just call me Su Hao."

Su Hao introduced himself, then pointed to Ella, who had finished eating her beef offal, and said, "She is my maid, her name is Ella."

"So, are you satisfied with my answer? If not, give us two more bowls of beef offal, we're still very hungry."

Ke Qing didn't say much. She picked up the knife next to her and quickly started cutting the beef offal. In less than a minute, two bowls of deluxe beef offal were ready and placed in front of Su Hao and Ella.

"These two bowls are free." Ke Qing stared at Su Hao and said seriously, "I've already memorized your name."

"Then what's your name?" Although Su Hao recognized the other person as his beloved A Qing, he still wanted to hear her admit her identity herself.

Ke Qing shook her head and looked at Su Hao calmly, saying, "We will meet again eventually. Next time we meet, I will tell you my identity and name."

With that, Ke Qing ignored Su Hao and pushed the ox-offering cart away.

Su Hao's words just now gave her a bit of inspiration, and she decided to cancel her plan to observe public sentiment tonight.

"???????"

Su Hao stared blankly at where he and the others were sitting. What was going on? "Ah Qing! You don't want the table and chairs anymore?!"

"Is this... the local customs and culture of Liyue?"

Ella was also a bit dazed. How could this person not even want the table and chairs?

If this had happened in Inazuma, those tables and chairs would probably have been moved away by the next morning.

"Don't you know?"

Just then, a young man selling steamed buns came up to them and explained with a smile, "These chairs and stools are public facilities, and we have no right to take them away."

"The lady selling offal only has a stall permit, but she doesn't have the authority to handle this kind of matter."

As he said this, the young man selling steamed buns quietly moved his stall to this area; it was a good location.

Although I don't know why that lady left so early, now that she's gone, this spot is mine.

Seeing the young man quietly take over Keqing's stall, Su Hao and Ella exchanged glances, but soon after finishing their beef offal, they prepared to go back.

After leaving the food street, Su Hao also turned off the group live stream.

In the group, many people were still discussing what Su Hao and Ke Qing had talked about, but they were all talking about it casually.

They didn't take it as seriously as Keqing, which is normal, since most people in this world still respect the gods.

Although Keqing doesn't seem to have much respect for the gods, she is well aware that divine favoritism is not a reason for humanity to stagnate. That's why she wants to break the current situation in Liyue.

Fortunately, she was in Liyue, not Inazuma, otherwise she would probably have been killed by General Raiden in one strike under the name of "Eternal Variable".

"I'm really full tonight." Su Hao rubbed his stomach as he headed back to the inn.

He ate quite his fill at the Liyue food street today.

Ella nodded in agreement. The life she had experienced these past few days was something she could never have imagined before.

At this moment, Ella finally realized why the young master had kept saying that he would definitely retire in Liyue or Mondstadt.

Now that Ayla has seen the beauty of Liyue, she is starting to wonder what Mondstadt is like.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Su Hao and Ella seemed to realize something, and they stopped and looked ahead.

Not far ahead, several masked Fools were staring intently at Su Hao and Ella.

“The Fools.” Ella’s voice sounded somewhat unfriendly. She felt that her good mood for the day had come to an end with this encounter with the Fools.

Why is it that no matter where I go, I see this group of fools?

"It's alright, don't worry. This is Liyue Harbor, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble." Su Hao remained completely calm, as it was quite normal for him and Ella to be targeted by the Fatui.

Putting everything else aside, now that the Fools know that both the lady and the stragglers were indirectly and severely injured by him, they will probably start to take him more seriously.

As for how their intelligence was leaked, the Fatui have branches in Liyue, and they naturally have quite a few spies here.

They simply can't reach deep into Liyue Harbor like Inazuma does. If they dare to do so, Seven Stars wouldn't hesitate to chop their hands off.

Of course, according to the storyline, Liyue and Zhidong are still in the honeymoon phase and are currently allies.

Therefore, the Fatui would not cause any trouble in Liyue.

Just as Su Hao had expected, after watching Ella and Su Hao for a while, the Fools did not approach them to talk or deliberately cause trouble, but silently disappeared into the darkness.

Their appearance seemed to be a warning to Su Hao: he had offended the Fools and shouldn't think he could escape.

Would Su Hao care about threats? You two executives have both been crippled by your own actions. Now, the Fatui executive in charge of Liyue is none other than that silly Daddariya.

If you get Daddarry Duck into a frenzy, the opponent will immediately enter a state of mental instability. At that point, if you can just survive, it will be the end for Daddarry Duck.
