Original God, if I am beaten by them, I will become stronger

And now, he and Linghua came to the river for a picnic after visiting the children.

Under the plate of grilled fish are fresh wild vegetables, which taste sweet, crispy and delicious.

Lin Qiu tore off a piece of green leaf with chopsticks, put a piece of fresh fish meat on the leaf, then put the sweet and delicious rice on it, wrapped them together and put them into his mouth.

The freshness of the leaves, the softness of the rice, the crispness of the fish skin and the deliciousness of the fish meat, all kinds of feelings burst in your mouth at the same time, forming a natural delicacy.

It was the first time that Kamisato Ayaka saw this way of eating. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then she imitated it.

When the food entered her mouth, the young lady blinked in surprise, enjoying it and feeling a sense of novelty.

"Delicious! I never thought grilled fish could be eaten this way!" Linghua praised sincerely, "Mr. Lin is not only good at cooking, but also good at innovation!"

It is obviously a way of eating that even children know how to do, but in Linghua's eyes it is innovative. There is nothing she can do about it, after all, the family education of the nobles is very strict, and there are corresponding rules for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Linghua has tasted food in a very proper manner during meals since she was a child.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Miss Kamisato doesn’t have her own little tricks. For example, she would secretly hide away to enjoy the simple rice over tea, and occasionally she would be “innovative”, but her innovations were more troublesome, like putting pastries into hot pot.

Lin Qiu, who is like a wild beast, full of wildness and flexibility, and Linghua, who has just walked out of the boudoir, have an inexplicable good compatibility. In a sense, they are complementary.

The two of them ate the grilled fish while chatting.

After having a good meal and a good drink, it’s time to go back to Kamisato-yashiki to make preparations.

Because tomorrow, there will be a ceremony to celebrate the end of the war. At the ceremony, Thunder God will give Lin Qiu many reward options and let him choose what he wants.

Although 30 days have passed, Lin Qiu still clearly remembers that the colorful prize of his system, which is also the prerequisite for system upgrading, is to choose the most outrageous option when Lei Dianying gives the options, so that the system will evolve.

Tomorrow, give Aying a little shock.

……

The ceremony was held in the large square in front of the main building of the castle tower. In front of the gorgeous wooden stage, long tables were arranged in two rows perpendicular to the podium, and the nobles who participated in the ceremony sat there.

Of course, after a month of liquidation by temporary worker Lin Qiu, the nobles who were still able to sit here basically had no major problems, and those who had problems had already been imprisoned.

At such a grand banquet, General Lei Dian was not present. Only at the closing ceremony did the general show up to present the award to Lin Qiu and announce the end of the ceremony.

The person presiding over the ceremony on the wooden stage is naturally a person of both beauty and wisdom, Yaegamiko, the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine.

Lin Qiu's position is very special. He sits at the intersection of the Kamisato family and the Kujo family. The official who arranged the seat took Lin Qiu's interpersonal relationships into consideration and made such an arrangement.

Because of this, Princess Bai Lu sat on Lin Qiu's left and General Jiujo sat on his right.

Representatives of the nobles took turns to go on stage and give speeches and reflections on the war, but Lin Qiu didn't listen at all. He was only concerned with eating and chatting with Linghua and the others.

Not listening to "useful nonsense" is also an important little wisdom that Lin Qiu uses to stay in a good mood.

The reason why there are two rows of tables is because people from Kaigi Island also participated in the ceremony. With Lin Qiu's mediation, the relationship between Kaigi Island and the shogunate eased a lot, so much so that Coral Palace Shinkai was willing to come to the castle tower in person to participate in the ceremony.

After all, Xinhai trusts Linqiu very much. There is an invisible contractual connection between her and Linqiu, and they have chatted through the connection many times in the past month.

However, Xinhai still didn't realize that Lei Dian really existed, because he had hidden himself. So in Xinhai's eyes, Lin Qiu was the one who handled government affairs and cleaned up the nobles.

Coral Palace felt great admiration in his heart.

At this time, Xinhai was sitting in the seat opposite Lin Qiu, watching him chatting with Linghua and Sha Luo, and occasionally chatting with them through long-distance calls.

The tedious process is finally over, and the much-anticipated moment is about to arrive, that is, Lei Diandian will give Lin Qiu the due reward in front of all the Inazuma nobles.

Following the invitation of the pink fox priest, Lin Qiu, dressed in blue, walked calmly up the steps and onto the gorgeous wooden stage.

At the same time, at the highest point of the castle tower, the Thunder God stepped on the thunder elements generated under his feet, walked down step by step, and finally reached the wooden platform and stood in front of Lin Qiu.

This unique way of appearance was specially arranged by the Son of God, with the main purpose of being extraordinary and otherworldly.

Looking at the general walking down from the sky gracefully and magnificently, the eyes of the nobles were full of respect, but Lin Qiu, who was receiving the award, felt inexplicably frustrated.

Lei Diandian came in front of Lin Qiu and gave Lin Qiu verbal praise according to the lines prepared for her by the Son of God in advance. She praised Lin Qiu unreservedly in terms of martial arts, courage, and wisdom, and then expressed that she would give Lin Qiu substantial rewards.

Because he was busy with other things, the reward program for heroes was conceived by Lei Dianying overnight, so Lin Qiu didn't know the specific content.

Two members of the Ojie sect came to the stage carrying a wooden board similar to a notice board, which was covered with a purple cloth.

Putting down the board, the Ojie people handed their luggage to the general and Lin Qiu, and then left. At the same time, the Son of God came to the bulletin board and lifted the luxurious cloth covering it.

There were several lines of reward information written on the notice board. The corners of Shenzi's mouth slightly raised, and then the fox priest restrained his smile and said in a serious tone:

"Great hero of Inazuma, choose the reward you wish to receive from the General himself."

The nobles in the audience were also ready. No matter which one the hero chose, they would stand up and give their blessings and cheers to the hero according to what they had rehearsed in advance.

Rather than calling it a blessing or applause, it would be more accurate to call it a poor performance by the nobles. There was no emotion coming from the heart, they were just acting according to a pre-planned plan.

On the stage, Lin Qiu quickly scanned the notice board, and suddenly, he saw a strange reward.

The content only has four words.

Wives in droves.

He was a little confused: What does this mean, giving me lots of wives for free? !

(Raiden Shin: Oh, this is the old tradition of Inazuma. After the Demon God War, Inazuma was unified and the law was revised. Until now, Inazuma has followed monogamy. No one will openly marry multiple wives.)

(Lin Qiu: So this is the reward?)

(Leiden Zhen: Those who receive this reward can legally marry multiple wives, and the general will recognize and bless the love between you and them.)

(Lin Qiu: …)

(Raiden Shin: And this blessing is also recognized by other countries, which means that as long as the person who receives this reward is in love with a woman from another country, he can also open a harem in another country - how about that, isn't it great?)

If you choose this reward, and someone asks Lin Qiu: Why are you entangled with so many girls? Lin Qiu can answer truthfully: I love them all, and my love with them has been blessed by the Thunder God, who asked me to marry them!

It feels like I'm opening a harem legally... No, it feels like I'm opening a harem by imperial order.

(Raiden Shin: It has been nearly a thousand years since this special reward appeared in Inazuma, but no warrior has ever chosen it. Compared to making up for the regrets of love, money and power can satisfy warriors better - um, don't underestimate the harem!)

(Lin Qiu: Miss M, I have a question. You didn’t invent this reward, did you?)

(Raiden Shin: It is me!)

(Lin Qiu: As expected of you!)

Lin Qiu glanced at the other rewards: countless wealth, territories, private castles, and even private armies - there was no shock at all!

So, to meet the system's requirements, there is only one answer, he chooses...

"I want 'a flock of wives'."

The calm voice swept across the audience, and the nobles who were ready to stand up and cheer fell silent instantly because this option was too unexpected.

For thousands of years, no one chose it because it was too flimsy compared to other options.

As long as you have a castle and a territory, you can support a few beautiful girls if you want! Even if you want to recruit your own maid team, there is no problem!

Who would waste such a great opportunity to choose to marry legally and reasonably?

It is obvious that as long as you have wealth and power, you will be able to win over countless women. Why bother about something as illusory as status? Why bother?

But now, this man, he chose!

He didn't want territories, castles, or even armies, but chose "a group of wives". This choice of the least cost-effective reward was really shocking!

The nobles gradually figured it out.

This man has great love, but there are too many girls he cares about and he values ​​each of them, so he wants to give everyone a fair share.

What a broad mind, what a love!

After a brief silence, the nobles stood up collectively and cheered for Lin Qiu. They were moved by his choices and dedication, and shocked by his pioneering spirit.

Lin Qiu was confused: I just want to complete the prerequisites for system upgrade, what are you doing?

At the same time, the girls on and off the stage who were related to Lin Qiu had their own thoughts when they heard that Lin Qiu had chosen "a group of wives".

Kamisato Ayaka: Will the rooms in Kamisato House not be enough? It’s time to expand it a little bit, otherwise when too many people come, there may not be enough space.

Lei Movie: I have said before that the guy who gives up other rewards and chooses this is extraordinary. It seems to be true. I also quite like him.

Yae Kamiko: What an interesting guy. I didn’t expect you to choose this. It surprises me!

Coral Palace Heart Sea: The bed is full of brides, the scene is so strange... No, now is not the time to think about this! Lin Qiu is so influential, and with such power, the situation of Inazuma may change, and even the situation of Teyvat!

Nine Sara: ???

Bathed in the applause and cheers of the nobles, a system interface popped up in front of Lin Qiu, prompting him that the prerequisites had been met.

Chapter 74 In-depth communication with Lei Dianying

In recent days, Lin Qiu has been living in the castle tower and interacting with the Thunder God frequently.

The reason is very simple. Raiden really wants to use Yin-Yang magic to connect his own Pure Land with his sister's Pure Land, so as to guide the silly Aying to govern the country.

The so-called "connection" does not mean to merge their pure lands, but to establish a channel connecting their pure lands, so that Zhen and Lin Qiu can go to the realm of Ying at any time.

However, the connection process is not that easy. First, Lin Qiu and Ying must achieve "spiritual resonance" - it sounds abstract, but this is what Raiden really said.

Lei Dianzhen also mentioned that the way to achieve spiritual resonance is to spend more time together and preferably have in-depth communication.

So Lin Qiu moved into the castle tower to shorten the distance between him and Aying in order to speed up the process of connecting to the Pure Land.

Today, one person and one god are free and have nothing to do.

Lin Qiu brought his fishing rod and came to the wilderness of Yingxiang Mountain, which was the area where he and Linghua had their first date. The pit created by the Death Flying Gun was not far away.

The only one accompanying him was Lei Dian. The Ojie people wanted to follow, but were asked by Lei Shen to stay where they were.

Ah Ying felt that if they wanted to quickly reach the state of "spiritual resonance" that her sister mentioned, it would be best for the two of them to be alone.

So they spread the picnic mat by the river, Lin Qiu sat cross-legged and threw the fishing rod into the stream, while the purple-haired woman knelt quietly on his right.

Whenever Lin Qiu does anything, Princess Bai Lu usually stays behind him, as if she is a good wife who silently supports Lin Qiu from behind. Unlike Ayaka, Inazuma's Ming Shen does not care about these and sits calmly beside Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu's fishing skills were very subtle. It was much more difficult to attract fish to bite the hook than to spear fish with force. However, the Thunder God standing next to him was watching with great interest. In this way, several hours passed, from morning to noon.

He turned his head to look at the god on his right.

As expected of a woman who had been meditating in a pure land for 500 years, after several hours of dull waiting, Aying showed no impatience at all, as if only a few minutes had passed.

During these hours, the two men remained quiet so as not to scare away any fish that might have taken the bait, but the amount of time that had passed was enough to prove that there were no fish that might have taken the bait.

He stopped concentrating on the rod, put fishing second, and started chatting with Ray Dian.

"Want some snacks?" Lin Qiu asked.

"Sure." Ying replied.

"Put your hands together." Lin Qiu said.

Thor followed what the other party said and put his hands together as if holding something. At the same time, Lin Qiu opened the system warehouse, and dozens of melon seeds appeared out of thin air in Ying's palm.

This is the white prize I won, a bag of 150 refined cream-flavored melon seeds.

Lei Diandian was kneeling, putting all the melon seeds on her white thighs. The melon seeds were piled up steadily in the gap between her legs. Aying grabbed one of them.

Lin Qiu was a little confused: What kind of way is this, using one’s own thighs to marinate the melon seeds?

Soon, Thor's actions gave the answer.

Ah Ying put the melon seeds into her mouth and cracked them gently. There was no problem up to this point. Then, like a child who was not good at cracking melon seeds, she clumsily peeled open the shell with her fingernails, then used her hands to take out the melon seeds inside and put them into her mouth.

Lin Qiu almost forgot that in the entire continent of Teyvat, probably only the people of Liyue would eat sunflower seeds. Other countries might take out sunflower seeds separately and use them as ingredients or to decorate cakes, but no one would eat them directly.

So Lei Dianying knows that this thing can be eaten and also knows how to eat it, but when it comes to putting it into practice, he becomes a little stupid.

Although Lin Qiu still held the fishing rod with both hands, his current entertainment had shifted from fishing itself to watching the gods working hard to crack melon seeds.

Ah Ying carefully bit open the shell of the second melon seed and was about to peel it with her fingernails, but the shell was soaked with saliva, causing her hands to slip and become difficult to peel.

"Well, it requires delicate techniques and just the right amount of strength," Lei Dianying said with emotion, "It's harder than slashing the wings of a flying fly with a knife."

However, Ah Ying didn't know that the correct way to use this thing did not require any techniques, but only ventriloquism and a deft tongue - that is, relying on the front teeth to crack open the melon seed shells, and licking the melon seed kernels directly into the mouth through the tongue.

As for whether Ah Ying's tongue is dexterous or not, Lin Qiu doesn't know for the time being, and has no way to give any substantial guidance. She can only figure out how to crack melon seeds by herself.

Finally, the second melon seed was peeled, but Aying did not eat it himself. Instead, he suddenly stuffed it into Linqiu's mouth as a reward for the hard work of the fisherman.

Miss M started sensory sharing.

(Raiden Shin: Mmm, I'm so touched! It's been a long time since I've eaten food personally fed by Aying. Ah, it feels so good to be alive!)
