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

Lin Qiu would only activate this skill when it came to important events - he could be a fool in his daily life, but he couldn't be a fool who died in comfort.

The conversation with Hu Tao was not a big deal, so Lin Qiu turned off this skill, so that he was fooled by Hu Tao's pretending to sleep and discussed related matters in front of her.

It wasn't a big deal. Green Hill knew the nature of Hall Master Hu very well. If she was asked to keep it a secret, she would definitely not tell anyone else. It was just about buying a membership in the Hall of Rebirth...

In addition, Lin Qiu was very curious about what the good idea that Hu Tao mentioned was.

"You said you have a good idea?" Lin Qiu asked the girl with twin ponytails, "Tell me about it. I hope the wisdom of the head of Wangsheng Hall can enlighten me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiu moved, and Hu Tao, who had climbed up from the quilt, naturally sat next to Lin Qiu.

The current position was that Lin Qiu and Kurumi were sitting side by side on the quilt, with Linghua and Shenzi sitting on the cushions opposite them.

"Before announcing the plan, I want to ask you clearly, what kind of guy is the fool executive 'Doctor' you just mentioned?" Walnut asked, shaking his head, "Based on your conversation, that guy seems to be a mad scientist."

Lin Qiu answered Hu Tao's doubts and told Hu Tao everything he knew about the doctor, including the slicing and the human experiments he conducted without any scruples.

After listening, Master Hu seemed to be thinking about something, and then she said confidently: "It is just as I imagined. Well, this master's plan can definitely be realized!"

Seeing Kurumi's extreme confidence, Linghua was a little intimidated, thinking that the girl in front of her was a military strategist at the level of Xinhai, while Shenzi narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

"Tell me in detail." Lin Qiu said.

Hu Tao straightened his chest and raised his head, saying: "My plan is very simple. First, the great hero Lin Qiu must purchase the services of the Wangsheng Hall, and then..."

Before Hu Tao could finish her words, Lin Qiu pushed her back onto the quilt on the ground and took out a new quilt from the system warehouse and covered her with it.

"Go back to sleep. I think you are still drunk." Lin Qiu said.

Either he was still drunk, or Hu Tao was still obsessed with promoting the products of Wangshengtang. In any case, Lin Qiu didn't think that buying a coffin had anything to do with dealing with the doctor.

“Mmmmmm—you actually don’t believe this hall master!” Hu Tao lifted the quilt and put it over Lin Qiu’s head. “After listening to what this hall master says, you’ll know whether you’re sober or not!”

Lin Qiu pulled off the quilt on his head and said, "Okay, okay, just say whatever you want to say."

In order to make her words more convincing, Kurumi's expression became a little more serious. She looked at Lin Qiu beside her, then at Shen Zi and Ling Hua in front of her, and began to explain.

"As long as the information you mentioned is correct, as a mad scientist, the doctor will do whatever it takes to research material that is worth studying. Then things will be simple. First, the hero will purchase the services of our Rebirth Hall, and then die in style."

"Why do I feel that the more I listen, the more unlucky it gets..." Lin Qiu suddenly understood something and looked at Hu Tao, "I see, that's what you mean!"

"Excuse me, what does 'this meaning' mean?" Linghua-chan looked confused. "Sorry, I don't quite understand. Please explain in more detail."

Kurumi raised her index finger and explained, "It's simple. The remains of a great hero who was able to challenge the god of thunder and made Teyvat famous should be an extremely attractive research subject for the doctor, right? The answer is obvious now."

Yae Shinko shook his ears, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Haha, very creative, as long as Lin Qiu pretends to be dead, the doctor will send people to grab the coffin, so that we can sneak into the institute naturally. It just so happens that the rumor that Lin Qiu is about to die is still spreading everywhere."

"So that's how it is!" Linghua clapped her hands lightly.

Lin Qiu also thought that this plan was good. He could definitely pretend to be dead without any mistakes. After all, he possessed the skills of an immortal adventurer. He could be resurrected as long as he watched the advertisement for 30 seconds. On the contrary, he would not be resurrected if he paused the advertisement.

All you have to do is find a suitable reason, act like you're dead on the spot, and then lie in the coffin and pause the commercials until the doctor takes the body away, and then you can enter his research institute with impunity.

Lin Qiu thought for a moment and asked, "It's indeed a good idea, but I always feel that this is something you came up with to promote the services of Wangsheng Hall."

Walnut said frankly without any quibbling, "Although it may seem like shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target, in the end we can both achieve a win-win situation, so let's not worry about it. Anyway, my store's income has increased, and you have successfully infiltrated the doctoral research institute. We both have a bright future."

This is what is called an open conspiracy. Even though Lin Qiu knew that Hu Tao gave him advice in order to take the opportunity to sell coffins, this strategy was indeed feasible, so he would accept the strategy and buy Hu Tao's coffin.

But as Hu Tao said, this is a win-win situation. Lin Qiu will not lose anything, and Master Hu will make a lot of money.

"Okay, I promise you, I will go to the Hall of the Dead to find you tomorrow." Lin Qiu said sincerely, "When the time comes, please give me the most beautiful coffin."

"Happy trading, hero." Walnut grinned.

Then, the girl from the Hall of Rebirth lay back down on the blanket and covered herself with the extra blanket, looking as if she was going to sleep right there in the alley.

With a goodnight expression on her face, Hu Tao said to the big customer she just met, "Hero Lin, actually, I am still a little drunk. Since the deal has been concluded, please help me and send me back to Wangsheng Hall. I will give you a discount tomorrow."

Chapter 111 Ye Lan: Interesting Man (6k)

Things have been almost discussed, and now all that's left is to send the unconscious Kurumi back. Linghua and Shenzi went back early, and this job fell on Lin Qiu.

Logically speaking, Yae Kitsune would not leave Lin Qiu alone with a sleeping young girl.

In fact, this is what happened.

Lin Qiu was a little hungry after a busy day. After all, several hours had passed since he attended the Ningguang Banquet. During this time, he was thinking, looking for people, and even used up a lot of energy to control the inherent time to kidnap the Fatui executive.

He wanted to go to a nearby roadside stall and buy some delicious and crispy fried food, or have a bowl of ramen or soup like wonton to replenish the energy consumed by high-frequency activities.

Yae Shinko, who had been slacking off, of course had no interest in eating. The lazy fox now just wanted to return to the comfortable and soft quilt as soon as possible and enjoy a wonderful sleep.

As for Lin Qiu being alone with the girl from Wangsheng Hall, Yae Shenzi was not worried at all. She looked at Walnut's figure and body shape and felt that Lin Qiu would not eat this kind of thing.

So far, whether it is Princess Shiragi, Yoshinomiya, the gods and priests of Inazuma, or Miss Fish of Umi Island, no matter who they are, no matter what their height is, they all have a beautiful and curvy figure. The girl in front of him does not meet the requirements at all.

Therefore, Shen Zi concluded that there would be no problem in letting Lin Qiu take Hu Tao back alone.

Miss Kamisato, on the other hand, doesn't care at all. No matter how many girls are around Lin Qiu, she will accept and tolerate them and silently help Lin Qiu.

The reason why she didn't go with Lin Qiu to send Hu Tao home was because Miss Kamisato didn't want to go out for a midnight snack with Lin Qiu. She was worried that eating at night would cause her figure to become out of shape, and she was even more worried that she wouldn't be able to resist eating after seeing Mr. Lin eat.

Sometimes, so-called willpower is not about resisting temptation before it happens, but about deliberately avoiding temptation and not coming into contact with it, so as to completely eradicate the idea.

If Linghua wanted to avoid the idea of ​​having a midnight snack, she had to avoid going to related places, so she gave up following Lin Qiu and returned to the hotel to welcome tomorrow morning.

It was late at night and a bit chilly.

Before leaving, Lin Qiu considerately took off his coat and put it on Linghua. However, there was only one coat and he couldn't take off the lining as well, so he suggested that the fox change back to its original form and let Linghua put her in the clothes and take her back to the hotel.

"My great hero, are you kidding me?" Miss Fox frowned.

However, if Shen Zi refused, Linghua would have Lin Qiu's coat all to herself, so the fox finally did as he was told and turned into a puffy little fox.

Rather than being seen in her true form by Miss Kamisato, Kamiko wanted to experience the feeling of crawling into Linqiu's coat, so after making some choices, she turned back into a small fox-like creature.

Linghua was very surprised to see the Palace Master in this state for the first time. After she came to her senses, she carefully wrapped the Son of God in Lin Qiu's coat and returned to the inn.

At this moment, the only people left in the alley were Lin Qiu and Hu Tao, who was happily sleeping.

For Master Hu, sleeping next to the great hero was very safe. Although the great hero had many romantic rumors, he would not do anything to a sleeping girl, so she slept peacefully like a kitten next to a warm fireplace.

Lin Qiu rolled up the quilt that was cushioning Hu Tao, held her under his armpit like a piece of cargo, and took Hu Tao out of the alley and walked towards the street, heading towards Wangsheng Hall.

Initially, Lin Qiu planned to hand the humanoid cargo over to Wangshengtang before going out for a midnight snack, but when he passed by a roadside stall, he was attracted by the aroma.

It was a stall with its own cart, selling noodles and wontons, with a few chairs in front of the stall.

There were no other guests at the moment, so Lin Qiu placed Walnut, who was wrapped in a quilt, horizontally on the rows of chairs on the right, and sat on the leftmost seat.

The chef at the stall was an old man, who had probably been in this business for a long time and had a lot of experience. In the mixed Liyue Harbor, it was normal for anything to happen at night. As for the walnut rolls that Lin Qiu carried with him, the stall owner glanced at them but didn't pay much attention.

The stall owner thought: Young people nowadays really play big.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu was thinking about what to eat.

It was not suitable to drink soup at night. Thinking of this, he said to the old man who was setting up the stall: "Boss, give me a bowl of noodles with some chili, green onions, cilantro and minced garlic... and some braised beef."

The stall owner started cooking with ease. While waiting, Lin Qiu ordered a pot of hot wine to dispel the chill of the night.

In fact, with Lin Qiu's physique, he was not afraid of the cool breeze in the middle of the night. It was just that when he smelled the faint aroma of alcohol on Hu Tao, he suddenly wanted to try Liyue's shochu.

He poured the wine into the glass and tasted it carefully, while recalling the taste of Inazuma sake and distinguishing the difference between the two.

The stall owner worked quickly, and before the wine in Lin Qiu's cup had cooled down, the noodles were already cooked.

The chewy white noodles are sprinkled with cucumber shreds, crushed peanuts, and the beef requested by the customer, as well as chopped green onions, cilantro, minced garlic and other stronger-flavored condiments.

Pour two spoonfuls of chili oil made from the best Jueyun pepper, and the simple, delicious and filling noodle dish is done.

Of course, it is up to the customers to mix the sauce and pasta evenly.

Lin Qiu took the full bowl and was about to stir it with chopsticks when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, boss, do you have raw eggs?" Lin Qiu said, "Can you give me one? I'll put it together when we pay the bill later."

The boss was a little confused, but he still handed Lin Qiu an egg. Lin Qiu cracked the egg on the edge of the table, beat it into the noodles and started stirring.

"Although some people in Liyue eat noodles like this, not many do." The old stall owner asked, "Young man, this should be the way Inazuma eats it, right?"

“Well, Inazuma has a wider variety of ways to eat raw food, such as sashimi and of course eggs.” Lin Qiu said as he stirred the food. “In comparison, Liyue doesn’t eat raw fish directly, but has delicacies like drunken shrimp and drunken crab.”

"It seems that you have a lot of insights into food. To be honest, I also want to go to the other side of the sea and try the udon noodles from Inazuma before I die..." The stall owner smiled, "After all, I have been selling noodles all my life, but I don't know what foreign noodles taste like. I feel a little unwilling."

"Now that the lockdown has been lifted, it's still very convenient to go to Inazuma." Lin Qiu put some cucumber shreds dyed red by the hot sauce into his mouth to whet his appetite. "I wish you can fulfill your wish soon, boss - well, the cucumbers are very fresh and crisp, and the hot sauce tastes good too!"

"Haha, it's not as easy as it sounds to take a boat to Inazuma." The stall owner smiled and said, "I still have to make money to send my grandson to the best private school, so I don't have time to be lazy. The opportunity to go to a foreign country and broaden my horizons should be left to future generations."

A few minutes later, Lin Qiu swept up all the noodles, paid the old stall owner, then put the sleepy Nut under his arm and prepared to send her home.

Before leaving, Lin Qiu suddenly remembered something and took out a bowl of udon noodles from the system warehouse.

The leftovers from the original lottery.

"This is..." said the stall owner in surprise.

"This is Inazuma Udon. We can't guarantee whether the taste is authentic or not." Lin Qiu put the noodles in his hand on the table of the cart, "No need to go to Inazuma, boss."

"Wait, young man, I can't take your face for nothing..."

As soon as the stall owner finished speaking, Lin Qiu had already left with Hu Tao. He could only accept the kindness of this stranger.

……

About three minutes after the stranger left, the owner of the roadside stall began to taste the udon noodles.

"This taste..." The stall owner widened his eyes, "It feels not as good as the noodles I cook."

In fact, this old man’s main business is not selling noodles at a roadside stall.

When he was young, he was a thief and was quite famous. He stole many precious treasures.

Later, he was captured by the Liyue officials, accepted amnesty, and became an official intelligence dealer, providing intelligence to the General Affairs Department.

Just as the stall owner was evaluating the udon noodles, a tall woman with short blue hair walked elegantly to the roadside stall and sat down in the seat where Lin Qiu was eating noodles. There was an expensive cloak hanging behind her, but she was not wearing it. No one knew whether she was cold or hot.

"It's Miss Ye Lan." The stall owner put down the udon noodles and said, "A rare guest, a rare guest, would you like a bowl of noodles, or a bowl of hot wonton?"

Ye Lan got straight to the point and asked, "Has anything interesting happened in Liyue Harbor recently?"

The stall owner thought for a moment and replied, "A few hours ago, a group of guys similar to the Fatui gathered in an abandoned warehouse somewhere at the dock, seemingly discussing something."

"Maybe they wanted to attack the Yanshang Tea House. The matter has been resolved." Ye Lan said.

"That bunch of fools are always ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. They dare to trespass anywhere. I guess they have been taught a lesson by Miss Ye Lan." The stall owner said gloatingly.

When it comes to this topic, Ye Lan shook her head and explained: "No, I wasn't the one who solved them."

"Not you?" the stall owner wondered.

"Yes, I also arrived at the scene after the incident was over." Ye Lan said with his hands in front of his mouth, "According to the description of the employees present, a mysterious, handsome young man took care of the Fatui and took the Fatui executive away from the scene. The group of Zhidong people had no energy to fight back."

“Miss Ye Lan, you are kidding, right?” The stall owner widened his eyes in shock. “Defeating the Fatui is fine, but capturing the Executioner alive? How is that possible!”

Speaking of the mysterious handsome young man, the stall owner thought of Lin Qiu who had just come to eat, but Lin Qiu was clean and did not look like he had ever been through a battle, and there was a young girl wrapped in the quilt.

The logic didn't match at all, so the stall owner didn't associate that customer with the man Ye Lan was talking about.

Ye Lan continued, "I came to you to get information about that man. According to the store employees, the man's clothes are..."

After listening to Ye Lan's description, the stall owner confirmed that the customer just now was not the person Ye Lan mentioned.

In fact, it was because Lin Qiu gave the coat to Linghua that the image of Lin Qiu in the stall owner's memory deviated from Ye Lan's description.

"Come to think of it, the noodles in your bowl don't look like Liyue food." Ye Lan suddenly realized something was wrong, "And the bowl isn't from Liyue either. It looks like the ones from Inazuma."

The stall owner told Ye Lan everything about his previous encounter with the strange customer, including his discussion with the other party about Inazuma food and the noodles that the other party took out from somewhere.

"Is he Daoqi's man?" Ye Lan asked.

The stall owner shook his head and said, "Based on my observation of people, that guy is a pure Liyue person - there shouldn't be many foreigners who can tolerate the taste of Jueyun pepper, not to mention that he added the scallions, cilantro and minced garlic very decisively."

Liyue food has unique flavors and condiments, and many of its delicacies are difficult for foreigners to accept when they experience it for the first time. Even if foreigners gradually become familiar with Liyue's food, when they put it in their mouths, their facial expressions are still subtly different from those of Liyue locals.

Because of this, the stall owner determined that the black-haired young man was definitely not a foreigner.

"A Liyue person who is familiar with Inazuma culture... and during this time period... conjured up food like magic..." Ye Lan had a vague idea in her mind, "I roughly understand. Maybe he is the same person who protects the Yanshang Tea House."

The stall owner looked puzzled and continued to eat his udon noodles, while Ye Lan fell into deep thought.

Finally, she came to a conclusion.

"Oh, interesting man."
