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

(You, are you okay? The impact of this firework arrow is quite strong——Hmm? Hmm?! I suddenly feel very refreshed. Could it be that…)

Lin Qiu replied proudly: Don't worry, Miss M. I am smart and have solved the problem at the critical moment with the wisdom born from desperate situations!

(What?)

Lin Qiu: I transferred the useless liquid into the system warehouse, and now I have nothing to worry about!

(You are truly a genius! You should be the next Grass God under Xumi!)

Kuki Shinobu finally arrived to support Kirara.

She quickly approached Lin Qiu's back, her God's Eye flashing purple light, and the dagger in her hand, with a fierce element of lightning, stabbed towards Lin Qiu's other waist.

Because Xiao Palace had just set off a wave of fireworks, Lin Qiu still carried the element of fire in his body, and the overload reaction formed by lightning and fire would cause a strong explosion.

But Lin Qiu was relaxed and fearless.

boom!

After the explosion of the thunder and fire overload, Lin Qiu still stood firmly in the same place. Jiuqi Shinobu's short sword only caused minor injuries on his tense abdominal muscles. On the contrary, the explosion of the overload reaction left many tiny marks on Lin Qiu's body surface.

[From the coordinated attack of Jiuqi Shinobu and Xiao Gong, obtain 600 original stones]

Xiao Gong on the roof was very shocked: "I heard he was very hard, but I didn't expect him to be so hard!"

At this time, Qi Liangliang regained consciousness, and a vicious cat pounced on Lin Qiu, hung on his body and bit his head.

……

Five minutes passed.

With Lin Qiu letting them off, the girls in the expedition team beat the enemy with all their might.

In these five minutes, he actually earned more than 7000 raw stones.

Now, Lin Qiu has to consider running away.

Although he was in a situation where he was trapped from both sides, with Kirara blocking the direction of the toilet, Kuki Shinobu blocking the way out of the alley, and Xiao Gong providing remote support on the roof, as long as he activated his inherent temporary control, these obstacles would be useless.

Just as Lin Qiu was about to slip away, a bright light shone in from the alley.

"Stop it, everyone, stop fighting!"

I saw Kamisato Ayaka standing at the entrance of the alley, and Thomas beside her was holding an oil lamp in each hand, one lamp illuminating the situation in the alley, and the other lamp illuminating the young lady's face.

Princess Bai Lu continued to explain: "We, the Kamisato family, guarantee on behalf of Lord Lin Qiu that the culprit of these evil deeds is not him, someone is impersonating Lord Lin Qiu!"

If Lin Qiu said these words to the expedition team, it would definitely not have any effect, so he didn't say any nonsense the whole time. After earning the raw stones, he ran away directly, which was quite decisive.

After all, not many people would believe the words of villains.

But when these words come from Princess White Egret, the nature of them is completely different.

The three aggressive girls immediately stopped what they were doing and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Hmm? Hmm? Hmm!" Xiao Gong on the rooftop was at a loss, "Did we hit the wrong person?"

"I'm so sorry!" Kuki Shinobu was used to helping the Arotaki faction finish up, so he bowed very quickly.

"Huh? What?! Ah!" Qi Liangliang's dizzy head finally understood the seriousness of the situation.

Lin Qiu, who was surrounded by them, raised the corners of his mouth into a smile, and his expression was more relaxed than after going to the toilet.

"The misunderstanding is finally resolved, and everyone is happy." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and joked, "How do you want to compensate me?"

Next up, it’s Lin Qiu’s turn!

Chapter 13 Punishment content: Taking advantage of others!

Daozuma City, Mu Le Tea House.

If he had taken the initiative to provoke the other party and was beaten in order to obtain the raw stone, Lin Qiu would not have any complaints against the girl who attacked him.

But the situation today is completely different. Although he took the initiative to go to Inazuma Castle, he did not do anything immoral.

Obviously, the ones who were really at fault were the three girls who arbitrarily defined Lin Qiu as a villain and formed a punitive team to beat him up.

Although Lin Qiu had the intention of earning the raw stones, his behavior did not warrant a beating.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to the toilet!

Lin Qiu took the initiative to ask the eldest lady that he wanted to talk to the three members of the expedition team alone and try to resolve the misunderstanding peacefully, so Linghua provided a spacious tea house.

In the room, Xiao Gong and Jiu Qi Shinobu assumed the standard "Dogeza" posture, knelt down in front of Lin Qiu and apologized to him. Lin Qiu, with blood all over his face, tried hard to suppress his joy.

Most of the wounds on her face were caused by the berserk Kirara. Now, the atavistic Nekomata girl has regained her sanity and is standing beside her with her hands folded over her chest.

After all, Qi Liangliang and Lin Qiu have a "personal grudge" and he is unwilling to lower himself to apologize to him.

Her personality is actually quite good. She is a typical sunny and cheerful cat girl. Unfortunately, her good personality will not be shown in front of Lin Qiu, at least for now.

The reason was simple. It was because of Lin Qiu's cat toy that her deliveries were almost overdue many times. She had to sacrifice her precious nap time to deliver the goods.

For cats, a nap in the sun is a treasure more precious than gold!

To put things in perspective, she had just beaten Lin Qiu so hard that his pants were almost wet - even if she had cute pads, she would have to pay the price for what she had done.

Lin Qiu approached Qi Liangliang, put his head close to her two human ears, and whispered like a devil:

"Ms. Kirara, you don't want the other people in Komagaraya and your clients to know that you are a cat who violently beats up innocent ronin, right?"

"Woo woo!!" A strange sound came out of Qi Liangliang's gritting teeth.

Safe and punctual, providing good service, lively and lovely, this is her image in the minds of customers and also her nature.

If today's incident were known to everyone, her image in the minds of customers would be labeled as "a monster that attacks people". In that case...

Qiliangliang, with a flushed face, finally compromised and apologized, but she did not get up from her seat like Xiao Gong and the others did. Instead, she lay on the ground, showing her white belly.

"I apologize, I apologize, okay? As long as you don't tell anyone about tonight's blunder, you can do whatever you want - damn it!"

Qi Liangliang did not forget to complain weakly.

Seeing this scene, two lines of blood flowed out of Lin Qiu's nostrils, and then the bleeding did not stop. Of course, this was not the old-fashioned "nosebleed when seeing welfare" routine, but during the street fight just now, someone broke his nose.

It doesn't matter, it will be restored to normal tomorrow morning. As I said before, the blood will be restored quickly if you add full blood.

Lin Qiu looked at Xiao Gong and A Ren who were still sitting on the ground: "You two..."

"Please forgive us!" Xiao Gong shouted, "We will do anything!"

Jiuqi Shinobu next to him was a little uncomfortable: Idiot, don’t say such harsh words!

But Xiao Gong had already said it, and A Ren had no idea what to say. He could only remain silent helplessly and wait for the price of this sentence to come.

Lin Qiu didn't intend to go too far. Although he was beaten for no reason, he still earned a lot of raw stones. Next, he just needed to teach them a small lesson so that they would not act so recklessly in the future, and the matter would come to an end.

He had already thought of a way to punish her.

Suddenly, Qi Liangliang, who was lying on the ground, smelled a strange smell. It was the same pungent smell she had smelled today, which was very unpleasant. She looked closely and saw that Lin Qiu had taken out three plates of Mapo Tofu from somewhere and placed them neatly on the coffee table in the middle of the room.

“Please, all three of you. Just eat these three dishes and tonight’s events will be forgiven.” Lin Qiu introduced, “Top-quality Liyue dishes, very fresh and delicious.”

He was also very considerate and placed a large spoon on each of the three plates of Mapo Tofu.

Qi Liangliang, who had a keen sense of smell, had already noticed something was wrong. Jiuqi Shinobu, who had studied law in Liyue, also knew the power of Mapo Tofu. Only Xiao Gong was still confused and thinking: The punishment is to eat delicious food? There is such a good thing!

The girl, who had lived in Inazuma for many years, had no idea how terrible Liyue's spicy food was. She ran to the coffee table first and said happily, "Actually, I quite like spicy food. Thank you, Mr. Ronin. I'm ready to eat!"

Lin Qiu was even more delighted: Inazuma's spiciness can be called spicy? Hehehehe, little girl who doesn't know the limits of heaven and earth, the hell is ahead.

Xiao Gong happily scooped a big spoonful of Mapo Tofu, and the moment he put the food into his mouth, his expression suddenly changed 180 degrees, as if a tofu biting incident had occurred.

The girl in the fireworks shop was very polite. Although she felt something like fireworks exploding in her mouth, she didn't swallow it but she didn't spit it out either. Her face turned red and she almost rolled on the tatami.

Fortunately, this place is a teahouse and there is no shortage of drinks, so Lin Qiu ran outside to get her a cup of tea.

"Are you okay?" Lin Qiu handed over the tea.

"No, it's totally fine, I can still eat..." Xiao Gong swallowed spicy tofu with hot tea, her originally fair cheeks a little red, and beads of sweat flowed down her smooth skin. Despite this, she still found time to care about Lin Qiu, "But Mr. Ronin, your head seems to be bleeding again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Gong took out a bandage from somewhere and handed it to Lin Qiu enthusiastically.

At the same time, Kuki Shinobu and Kirara Ryo knew that they could not escape. Kuki Shinobu took off her mask and Kirara Ryo's tails stood up straight. They all came to the spicy tofu that symbolized sanctions, ready to pay the price for their recklessness.

Just like that, Lin Qiu, with bandages of unknown origin wrapped around his body, watched the three girls, who were blushing, panting, and sweating, being punished under the pressure of Mapo Tofu.

Ten minutes passed.

When Linghua walked into the room, the tatami had already collapsed and the scene was horrible.

Even though Qiliangliang was a great monster, he was unconscious at this time. He lay on the ground with his two padded feet raised, and stuck out his tongue to try to dilute the spiciness with the help of the air.

Xiao Gong was in tears and unable to speak. She tried to raise her thumb, as if she wanted to tell Lin Qiu: The food is not bad, it is delicious, but I can't accept it.

Jiuqi Shinobu had studied in Liyue and was resistant to spicy food, but not much.

Despite this, she quickly put the mask back on before she fell, and her messy green bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

But judging from the way she was lying, she was probably not much better off than Xiao Gong and the cat.

It took about half a minute for Linghua to finally figure out the situation, and she couldn't help but sigh that Liyue spicy food was really amazing.

In fact, Lin Qiu had his own reasons for feeding the expedition team with mapo tofu.

If he didn't do this, they might take the initiative to help track down the counterfeit. The counterfeit would not give up in a fight like he did. Lin Qiu didn't want any of them to get hurt.

What's more, they are all people who secretly possess the Eye of God. During the period of the Eye Hunting Order, they should use the Eye of God as little as possible.

So Lin Qiu made them spicy first.

"Ms. Linghua, let's go to the other room and discuss catching the impostor."

"Ah."

For some reason, when Kamisato Ayaka responded, her eyes shifted away and she didn't look directly at Lin Qiu.

In fact, Lin Qiu had already felt that something was wrong. Ever since Linghua appeared in the alley tonight, she had never looked directly at him and had been deliberately looking away.

Maybe it was because he was covered in blood, and the young lady felt uncomfortable looking at him. Lin Qiu guessed so.

He followed Linghua out of the room.

Chapter 14 The Miss Becomes Strange

Manye and his friend A were sleeping in the pub, the three members of the expedition team were unconscious from the spicy food, and Linqiu had earned enough from the raw stones.

Without any other distractions, he can devote himself fully to the task of catching the impostor.

He and Kamisato Ayaka came to the next room. Ayaka knelt down beside the tea table, while Lin Qiu sat cross-legged opposite the eldest lady and began to discuss business.

Strangely, Linghua still avoided looking at him directly, which Lin Qiu found a little strange.

At least I used Xiao Gong's bandage to bandage the wounds on my body, so they weren't that scary, at least not enough to make Linghua-chan feel uncomfortable.

But why did she...

Thinking of this, Lin Qiu touched the bandage wrapped around his forehead. Hmm? This bandage seemed to have a nice fragrance.

Anyway, the wound will be almost healed by tomorrow. Since Ayaka doesn't want to look at me now, let her be. The most urgent thing is to discuss the matter of the counterfeit.

"Mr. Lin, how did you originally plan to capture that guy?" asked the eldest lady.

At that time, Lin Qiu left on his own and did not tell her and Thomas about the plan, so Linghua planned to ask clearly now to at least make sure that it was not an extreme measure.

Lin Qiu explained everything in detail: "My plan is very simple. Didn't Thomas say that the counterfeiters only do big things like burning, killing and looting? So I decided to wander around Hanamizaka, and if I noticed any big commotion anywhere, I would immediately run over and arrest the counterfeiters."

In fact, Lin Qiu’s plan was not as simple as he said, but he was not convenient to explain some key information, such as the existence of Miss M in his body.

Ms. M's perception ability can be expanded by connecting to the earth veins, at the cost of reduced accuracy.

The maximum range can even cover half of Hanamizaka, achieving the effect of a carpet search.

In this way, whenever a major incident occurs, Lin Qiu can detect it at the first time, then activate his inherent time control and run all the way to the crime scene quickly.

Unless something too outrageous happens, tonight's script will be like this: before the impostor has a chance to take action, Lin Qiu will appear as a hero and defeat him.

Regarding the existence of Miss M, Lin Qiu used Yin-Yang magic to evade the question: "I have Yin-Yang magic that is specially used for searching. I can detect the fake person as long as she takes action."

"I don't doubt Mr. Lin's ability, but this method is too risky." Kamisato Ayaka shook her head and expressed her opinion, "If something unexpected happens, the counterfeit will succeed again, causing damage or casualties. By then, even if we catch him, the losses will be irreparable."

"What does Miss Linghua mean?" Lin Qiu asked.

Miss Kamisato did not speak, but took out a thumb-sized piece of cloth, placed it on the coffee table and showed it to Lin Qiu, then explained:
