Original God: Being stepped on by Alechino at the beginning

　You can try it! Otherwise, it would be a shame to give up more than ten years of archery skills.

　Moreover, even if he became a debt handler, he would be completely different from other debt handlers.

　Compared to them having to sacrifice their vitality to use the evil eye for their own benefit, he does not need to pay such a high price.

　In other words, he could be bolder in his use of elemental forces and his exaggerated ideas.

　(It seems I need to go to the black market in Gray River today. Also, I should take this opportunity to discuss with Navia and Xiawolei about the connection between the "Mysterious Girl's Disappearance Case" and "Les". If they help, we might get twice the result with half the effort. However, I also need to remind them of the dangers of this matter.)

　After confirming today's schedule in his mind, Lu Li put away the sacrificial knife in his hand, put the matching debt handler equipment into the drawer, and stood up and left the room.

　----split line----

　Fontainebleau

　"Wow... Just wait, you're actually doing business this way? Do you know that customers are the most important thing?! I'm going to report this to the Special Patrol right now, and I'm going to make sure you don't get caught!"

　The man who had crawled up from the ground with a dusty face looked at the clothing store in front of him with hatred, and cursed angrily.

　, at this moment he was walking out while straightening the wrinkles on his clothes.

　The people around him looked at his miserable appearance with complicated and emotional expressions, but no one sympathized with him.

　In fact, this kind of thing has happened more than once, but every time it happens, sometimes the special patrol team will come to handle it, and sometimes they won’t.

　However, almost every time, it is the customers who are thrown out who are at fault.

　Over time, everyone got used to it.

　This clothing store's reputation is bound to be mixed, but there's no denying that its products are absolutely outstanding.

　At this moment, the Fontaine merchant who was about to leave noticed a Liyue person walking towards him with a gift box, and was slightly stunned.

　They should be from Liyue, right? But why do they dress more like Fontaine than I, a Fontaine native?

　Although he was confused, the Fontaine man couldn't help but smile slightly as he saw this strange and handsome young man about to enter the Qianzhi House that had just thrown him out, as if he had thought of something.

　I'm afraid this guy will have the same fate as me, and will be thrown out by the cold and beautiful proprietress soon. In this case, I might as well wait here for a while. There is a foreigner who has suffered the same treatment. I think the special patrol team will finally accept the report this time and crack down on this stinky woman!

　However, what he expected did not happen. After the man went in, there was no fighting for a long time.

　The man standing there felt like a clown making people laugh. With his face flushed, he snorted angrily and walked away.

　Inside the Chiori House

　Lu Li walked in with a gift box. He looked at Qian Zhi, who had her back to him, and the waiter who hurried to greet him. He smiled and waved. After greeting the waiter, he walked into the inner room and said hello, "How come every time I come to visit you, I always see your dashing side?"

　"This only shows that these people's moral standards need to be further improved."

　Qian Zhi said in a cold tone. At this moment, she turned around, folded her arms and looked at Lu Li. Although her eyes were calm, she could still see a hint of surprise. "By the way, why did you come to me suddenly?"

　"Hmm, let me see if there's anything I can do for you. Also, I want to order a suit of clothes from you."

　"Ok."

　Qian Zhi walked forward calmly, then looked at the gift box that Lu Li handed over. After frowning slightly, she asked softly, "What's in it?"

　"Chocolate, I just bought it at Farmville Department Store. Well, it's not the expensive kind, but it has the sunset fruit flavor you like."

　"That's not cheap at all. You're so thoughtful," Qianzhi said softly after taking it with a slight smile on her lips, "Come to the fitting room. You don't need to bring these next time. Just bring them when you arrive. I can't give you anything for spending money on me like this."

　"But this will at least help you get over the discomfort you just felt, right?"

　Lu Li, who clearly saw the change in Qianzhi's expression, raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this moment and spoke softly.

　In response to this, the cold and arrogant tailor snorted softly and did not respond.

　However, the slightly hurried pace clearly said it all.

　Chapter 21 Inside the Fitting Room

　"Come to think of it, what kind of clothes do you want to order from me this time? Or are you really just here to visit me?"

　Qian Zhi led Lu Li to the fitting room at the back of the house. At this moment, she folded her arms and looked at him curiously, and asked.

　Hearing this, Lu Li nodded slightly and said softly, "As expected, I can't hide it from your eyes. In fact, this time I came here to support your business. Qian Zhi, I want to ask you, if I ask you to tailor a pair of high-temperature resistant combat clothes for me, can you do it?"

　"Of course you can, but it's bound to cost much more than regular clothing. After all, it requires some of Liyue's special rainbow flowers, made from a special fiber." Qianzhi casually snapped her fingers. Her rock elemental god's eye flashed a cold light, and a miniature paper-cut figurine suddenly appeared beside her. "Heat-resistant clothing... I assume your basic requirement isn't heat resistance, but the ability to harness elemental energy without damaging the clothing, right?"

　Lu Li nodded slightly, then took out a draft of his clothing design from his arms and handed it to Qianzhi.

　Although Lu Li's painting skills were not good, as an excellent fashion designer, Qian Zhi had a basic understanding of what the clothes Lu Li would draw would look like. After thinking about it in her mind for a while, she raised her head and looked at Lu Li with a frown.

　"Isn't this... one of those uniforms used by debt collectors? You've trimmed a lot of parts and added more details, but..."

　Qian Zhi asked softly, "Lu Li...you became a debt handler?"

　"...Well, after all, it's a direct order from above, so I definitely can't disobey."

　Lu Li shook his head, and then said comfortingly: "But I know my limits. If I can use that kind of power less often, I will definitely not use it. Moreover, compared to the painful price that ordinary people have to pay when using that kind of power, those who can mobilize elemental power don't have to pay so much."

　Qianzhi pursed her lips, and then said softly: "Forget it, it's up to you. You choose the path yourself, just be sensible. Besides, you don't have no other choices.

　That’s all I can say, my friend.”

　Lu Li smiled bitterly and touched his nose with his hand. Looking at Qian Zhi who was obviously in a bad mood, he didn't say much at this time.

　After saying this, Qianzhi lowered her head and carefully looked at the draft of the clothes on hand. Then, she said softly, "Although the drawing is very sloppy, I can still roughly understand what kind of clothes you want to make. A robe with a hood, and with certain element-guiding properties, and high temperature resistance, right?"

　"The cuffs of your shirt and the style of your pants—hmm, I didn't expect you to have quite the artistic flair. They're completely different from the debt collectors I've met before. I think these are valuable references. I can use them to create unique designs for other clothes."

　Qianzhi said softly at this moment, with a hint of sigh in her tone.

　"Hmph, then you can use this as a reference," Lu Li said with some pride, "Even if I have to be one, I want to be a special handler."

　"I don't think this is anything to be happy about," Qianzhi rolled her eyes. Then, she calmly summoned an assistant from her side, automatically helping the humanoid figure [Sleeve], took the measuring tape from his hand, and said softly, "In short, I already understand your clothing requirements. Let's go into the fitting room and I'll take your measurements. Then I can determine how long it will take to make your clothes."

　At this moment, Ai'er, a young employee of Qianzhiwu who was waiting quietly on the side, was slightly stunned.

　Normally, such matters were handled by her, a small employee, so why did the boss do it himself this time?

　Before dragging Lu Li into the fitting room, Qian Zhi seemed to notice that there were still employees there. At this moment, she turned her head and whispered to Ai'er, "Let's close the shop for a while. My next time is reserved for him."

　Ai'er nodded blankly, then hurried to the door and hung a sign saying that he was busy.

　------Dividing line------

　In the fitting room, in this small and enclosed room, Lu Li and Qian Zhi stood face to face.

　Each other's breathing was clearly audible, but what Lu Li could smell more clearly was probably a peculiar fragrance.

　It didn't come from Chiori, but from the fitting room itself.

　"It's Amelie's perfume, the fresh scent of lavender. What do you think?"

　As if noticing Lu Li's infatuated expression, Qian Zhi finished measuring Lu Li's shoulder width and began to measure his biceps, while speaking softly.

　"It smells good, very tasteful," Lu Li said softly at this moment: "Well, I feel like I should be no different from before, right?"

　"The difference is quite significant. Although your shoulder width hasn't increased significantly, your muscles and height have increased significantly. Therefore, the data I recorded for you before is useless. We must measure everything again."

　Qian Zhi said indifferently at this moment: "Since I am the one making the clothes, it is natural that I must make them to perfection, and I can't let the customers feel nervous or uncomfortable when wearing them."

　"Come on, put your hands up."

　Lu Li obediently raised his hand at this moment, and then felt Qian Zhi's small hand wrapped in black silk, quietly sticking to his body at this moment. Through the fibers of the clothes, he could still feel the softness and petiteness of her small hand.

　The female store manager calmly began to measure Lu Li's waist and abdomen. Therefore, she had to move closer, pass her hands through both sides of Lu Li's abdominal muscles, and then circle them with the tape measure.

　After a long while, after measuring Lu Li's waist circumference, Qian Zhi withdrew her hand and said softly, "You've gained a lot of weight... Not as skinny as before."

　"This isn't about being fat, this is about growing muscles."

　Lu Li said helplessly.

　"That's right, the abdominal muscles are indeed very hard."

　Qian Zhi nodded and reached out to gently poke Lu Li's hard abdominal muscles.

　Then, she squatted down at this moment.

　It's time to measure the thickness of Lu Li's legs. Then, we will have an idea of ​​how to choose the size of his trousers.

　But at this moment, looking down at Qian Zhi who was now kneeling down to measure him, Lu Li was slightly stunned, but suddenly a strange desire surged in his heart...

　Chapter 22 Qianzhi's Thoughts

　Qianzhi was still busy with the work at hand. After all, if she wanted to prepare a complete set of handmade uniforms with matching tops and bottoms for Lu Li, such preliminary preparations were necessary.

　However, she soon sensed something was wrong.

　The air seemed to heat up at this moment. After realizing what was causing the abnormality in front of her, Qianzhi gritted her teeth and raised her head with a somewhat unfriendly look, "You guy, I'm helping you measure what you are doing?"

　Lu Li turned his head away a little embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, but Qian Zhi looks very tempting..."

　"You are just thinking about yourself all the time."

　Qianzhi spoke somewhat speechlessly, then stood up with some dissatisfaction, with her hands on her hips.

　Then, soon, his sight was attracted to a certain place. He couldn't help but lower his head to look at the so-called abnormality and pursed his lips slightly.

　"You're definitely going to be discovered by my son if you go out like this, right? This is a new employee I finally hired, and her probation period isn't even a month yet. If they find out about something like this, it'll cause a nasty scandal, which would be even more troublesome..."

　After a while, Qian Zhi retracted her gaze at this moment and said to Lu Li with some dissatisfaction.

　"Wow... then Chizhi, you go out first, I'll stay here for a while...

　"

　Lu Li said somewhat embarrassedly.

　"If I go out and you wait until you've dealt with the problem before leaving, wouldn't that make people even more suspicious?" Qianzhi shook her head and then said softly, "So, let's use the old method."

　Hearing this, Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then he saw Qian Zhi turn around and stretch out his hand to push the wall. Then the wall flipped over at this moment, revealing the passage behind it.

　This is illegal modification!

　Lu Li's eyes widened.

　"Ai Er, Lu Li and I are leaving for a while. You can look after the store for a while. If there is any business, please take it and I will handle it later."

　Qian Zhi spoke in a deep voice to the door of the fitting room at this moment, and then took Lu Li directly into the passage behind the wall and went straight to the room deep inside.

　Ai'er, who was waiting for the two of them outside, was slightly stunned. After she came to her senses, she hurried to the fitting room and opened the door in panic. Then she looked at the empty room in astonishment and her eyes widened.

　"Wow... So there's a dark room here..."

　Although feeling emotional at the moment, Ai'er still left quickly, returned to the door and hung up a sign indicating that the business was still open, carrying out Qianzhi's instructions before leaving.

　At the same time, on the other side, Lu Li, who was led forward by Qianzhi, also saw the secret room of Qianzhi's house for the first time.

　"I didn't expect you to have a secret room here... How did you do that?"

　"After all, the land here is too expensive, and there's no good place to store some clothes, so I found another way and chose this method. Secondly, this is also the intersection of the emergency escape route. Sometimes Xia Wulei and Navia will sneak in and ask me for information without being known by outsiders. Qianzhiya... is a very easy place for them to obtain information."

　Qianzhi pointed to the room beside her as she spoke, "Come on, follow me in."

　Lu Li was slightly stunned, but then he obeyed her and walked in with her. After seeing the house decorated with a very bourgeois atmosphere, he couldn't help but be surprised.

　"This is the temporary rest house I prepared for when I work overtime late at night and don't have time to go home," Qianzhi said softly, "Here, there's a bed, lie down on it."

　Hearing such vicious words coming out of Qianzhi's mouth, Lu Li couldn't help but widen his eyes.

　But looking at Qianzhi's proud expression that was not fake at all, and with extremely complicated emotions, Lu Li still followed her words and went over and sat down.

　With her eyes flickering as she watched Lu Li follow her instructions, Qian Zhi slowly walked over, gently pressing Lu Li's chest with one hand, and gently pressing down with the other hand to suppress the evil.

　Feeling the delicate touch of Qianzhi's gloves made of exquisite silk, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little subtle at this moment.

　After a long while, Lu Li endured the slight trembling of his body, and at this moment asked with some complicated curiosity: "Actually... I can do it by myself, Qianzhi, why do you have to do this before and now?"

　The proprietress of Qianzhiwu paused for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know myself, but seeing your reaction to my actions, I can't take my attention away."

　Then, she turned her head, looked into Lu Li's eyes quietly at this moment, and sneaked in, untied the restraints and released the dragon's roar in her palm.

　"Don't tell me you hate this? No, I think you enjoy it, don't you?"

　As she spoke, Qian Zhi quietly observed Lu Li's ugly appearance, her eyes full of amusement at this moment.

　While controlling the slight trembling of his body, Lu Li said helplessly at this moment: "It's true that I enjoy it, but it seems a bit bad for you..."

　"That's rare. I thought you were the type who only cared about yourself," Qianzhi's eyes softened as she quickened her pace and whispered, "But, actually, I'm just like you. When you did this, I also felt a little [interested]."

　Lu Li couldn't help but widen his eyes.

　Qian Zhi withdrew her hand from Lu Li's chest at this moment, and then squeezed and pressed, saying softly: "You and I are both people who came to Fontaine from other countries. I came here to pursue my dreams, and although you are not like that, our situations are actually very similar. According to your poem, we are both strangers in a foreign land, so why should we have known each other before we met? This is the first time I have seen someone say such philosophical words when he was drunk."

　"Plus, you're one of my few friends. You've witnessed my downfalls and my successes, so I have a good impression of you."
