At this moment, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Lin Qiu's mind. Using this naginata as an arrow to release Stella would definitely produce an explosive effect (in various meanings).
Of course, you must never play like this in Liyue, otherwise you will be buried in the ground by the Emperor before Stella finishes her lines.
However, Lin Qiu really wants to try this kind of super-large firework. When the Sun Wheel Armor is cast and the trouble with the doctor is resolved, he will fire one into the sky.
But now, this dangerous item that stores the power of Thor cannot be leaked outside and must be transferred to a safe place as soon as possible.
The safest place is Lin Qiu's system warehouse. He bent down and picked up Aying's special weapon in the box and put it into the system warehouse.
After all, Lin Qiu felt that sending out the divine weapon to deal with the Doctor's Institute was really an overkill. At least all of the Doctor's slices could work together, and he could release the power of the naginata to catch them all in one fell swoop. Only then would it be worth using.
As for now, it is better to keep it for now. The deterrent power of a nuclear bomb in hand is definitely greater than releasing it. Besides, if you don't encounter a strong opponent at the demon level, there is no need to use this weapon at all.
Lin Qiu looked at Xin Hai and asked, "You came here for more than just giving me the naginata, right?"
Xin Hai nodded and said, "I want to meet Tianquanxing to re-establish the sea trade route between Coral Palace and Liyue Port. In addition, I am also very interested in the Yajyoutang branch organized by the Yajyou Palace. I would like to attend the opening ceremony of the branch."
"As for light novels... Paimon has been talking about them for a long time, and I want to try them too." The traveler asked Lin Qiu, "When is the opening of Yaedo?"
Lin Qiu replied regretfully: "Ms. Ying, you may not be able to go, because according to the plan, we will be in the coffin during the opening period."
Sister Ying seemed a little lost.
“Miss Coral Palace and Mr. Lin Qiu have reunited after a long time. Rather than me leading Miss Coral Palace on a tour of Liyue, it would be better to let Mr. Lin take charge.” Ganyu, who had high emotional intelligence, said, “Although it is a bit embarrassing to entrust the work to Mr. Lin, I think this is the most appropriate way.”
After all, Xinhai and Ningguang were not going to meet today. According to the plan, Ganyu would take her to visit Liyue Harbor, but it seemed a bit too strange for four people to walk side by side on the road, not to mention that Ganyu was not sure about Xinhai's specific attitude.
Because of this, let these two people who have been reunited after a long separation be alone for a while.
With this thought in mind, Ganyu decided to go back to the office to do clerical work and leave the heart sea to Lin Qiu.
Sister Ying also vaguely noticed this and said, "It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I have to go to the teahouse to pick up Paimeng... By the way, hero, don't forget the rehearsal tonight."
Before leaving, Ganyu handed Lin Qiu a high-end hotel card with Xinhai's residence written on it. The meaning was very clear. She asked Lin Qiu to take Xinhai to the hotel in the evening.
However, Lin Qiu carefully compared the name of the hotel and the room number and found something wrong - Xinhai's room was right next to his, Linghua-chan, and Shenzi's room!
What an inexplicable coincidence.
Lin Qiu put away the card and watched Ganyu and the Traveler leave.
"Speaking of which, what does the rehearsal she just mentioned mean?" The Coral Palace military advisor asked in confusion and curiosity, "Also, why did you spread rumors that you were dying?"
Lin Qiu's long-distance call just now did not explain the matter completely. Xinhai was just acting according to the general information he provided.
And now, it was time for Lin Qiu to give her a formal explanation.
Lin Qiu was already familiar with explaining the doctor's incident and his own action plan.
In the past few days, he didn't know how many people he had explained this to: Hu Tao, Yingmei, Xiao, Ganyu... and now, Xin Hai who was standing in front of him.
Lin Qiu told Xin Hai everything that had happened since he came to Liyue.
“So that’s how it is. It seems that after the Emperor’s passing, Liyue Harbor has run into a lot of trouble.” The pink magic girl commented, stroking her chin.
In fact, the Emperor was drinking tea right in front of the door - Lin Qiu thought to himself as he moved Miss Yu's hand away from his chin.
"Your plan is also fantastic, but it is still practical, after all, considering the doctor's personality." Xinhai reached out to Lin Qiu again, but did not touch him, but pretended to receive something. "Do you have a specific copy? I want to see the entire process of your plan."
"There's no copywriting, just this." Lin Qiu handed Master Hu's script to Miss Yu.
"Let me see..." Xinhai took the script.
Not long after she started reading, the corners of her mouth began to rise gradually, but out of respect for the creator of the script, the raised corners of her mouth began to converge again. In this way, with her expression constantly changing, Xinhai finished reading the plan.
The reason why the corners of her mouth curled up was not because she despised Walnut's writing process, but because she felt that the writing style and the plot were too interesting. However, out of the reserve of the great witch, she did not laugh out loud.
"Although the content of the script is very bizarre, such bizarre events are likely to happen in reality." Xin Hai returned the script to Lin Qiu in front of him, "I think if we continue to play it in this way, there is a high probability that we can deceive the doctor!"
"In fact, the first version is even more bizarre than this. This is the content I modified." Lin Qiu spread his hands and said, "Considering that the creator built a coffin for me and is now sleeping in it out of exhaustion, I will not explain the plot of the first version to you."
That was Master Hu's creative work that was full of imagination and allowed him to let his imagination run wild. It also included the love story between two great heroes, namely Lin Qiu and the traveler.
However, if the plot is too complicated, it can easily lead to unexpected situations, so it was deleted and modified by Lin Qiu.
"I think there's nothing wrong with adding emotional scenes." Xinhai suddenly said.
Lin Qiu: “?”
"I'm not kidding, seriously, because this will increase the doctor's belief in this matter." Xinhai said as if it made sense, "After all, your image outside is a 'dissolute hero', and you have a beautiful female companion. Moreover, you are both heroes, so it would be unreasonable not to have a 'story of similarities'."
"Stop bothering me." Lin Qiu took the script from Xin Hai. "Even if I can agree, the traveler won't agree."
"I can try to convince her." Xin Hai blinked, "Besides, that traveler seems to be a very enthusiastic person. He will definitely agree to add more content to the script."
"Why do you care so much about this matter?" Lin Qiu asked, holding his forehead.
"A good story cannot be without emotional drama. I am also a person who often reads light novels. This is out of respect for the script." The great priestess from Umigi Island said seriously.
In fact, even Coral Palace Xinhai herself didn’t know the real reason, because that was an idea that appeared in her subconscious mind - she wanted to add more allies to herself.
Deep down, she was thinking that if she could recruit the blond traveler as her ally, her "offensive" against Lin Qiu would be even more fierce.
This is the conclusion she, as the ruler of Kaigi Island and a great military strategist, came to after studying military tactics and politics: there is strength in unity.
We can’t let Mr. Lin Qiu be monopolized by the general, Ms. Kamisato, and Yae Kitsune.
After all, Lin Qiu often lives on Mingjin Island and only goes to Kaigi Island occasionally. Even so, he has not fulfilled his promise to eat caviar rice bowl until now.
She had to take action.
Of course, Xinhai himself doesn't know this.
Because this was her innermost thought, she acted as if she was just enjoying the fun, not knowing that her real intention was to recruit troops.
The most important thing is that when Lin Qiu was telling her what happened just now, he casually mentioned that he was accidentally locked in a coffin. Based on this incident, Xin Hai made an analysis - Miss Ying did not hate Lin Qiu, and the two of them had a very subtle friendship.
Then give it a push.
Of course, it is also true that she thinks adding some emotional scenes can increase the probability of deceiving the doctor. After all, sincere emotions can often cover up lies.
"If the great military strategist of Haiqi Island says so, I don't mind." Lin Qiu spread his hands again and compromised, "I'll find you a piece of white paper, and you can change the script to what you want, but I still think that Ying will not agree."
"Yeah!" Xin Hai made a very happy sound, "Thank you, my great hero!"
Chapter 130: Master Hu Reaps What He Has Sown (4k)
At night, Lin Qiu brought Xin Hai to the rehearsal site, still the old place.
In fact, the rehearsal last night was almost complete, and all aspects had reached the highest standards, which was enough to prove that the Traveler had a good talent for performance.
As for Xiao, all he had to do was to stab the spear into Lin Qiu's body. Apart from that, he had no other tasks, so he didn't need much acting skills. Stabbing people with the Hepu Kite was a very simple and skilled thing for Xiao.
So today is not so much a rehearsal as it is a final familiarization with the process, because the day after tomorrow is the day when the performance officially starts.
Because the work was almost done, Lin Qiu was not as rigorous as he was yesterday. He even wanted to take a break from his busy schedule to show Xin Hai's work to everyone.
So, before the rehearsal officially began, Lin Qiu showed the new script that Xin Hai had written to Sister Ying and asked for the blonde traveler's opinion.
"As for the romance..." The traveler looked embarrassed.
Lin Qiu looked at Xin Hai and established a call connection with her.
(Lin Qiu: You see, Miss Ying is not very happy about acting out love scenes with me.)
(Coral Palace Xinhai: Let’s wait and see what she says first, it’s not too late to make a conclusion later.)
"I don't know much about this aspect. I don't think I can act well." The traveler said, "And there are a lot of lines. Can I let Paimon speak for me?"
Lin Qiu was at a loss after hearing the sudden confusing speech - it seemed that the Traveler didn't care about the content of the performance, but was only worried about whether he could perform smoothly.
"Don't you mind?" Lin Qiu asked.
"Hmm? Mind? Let me think..." The blond traveler thought for a moment and came to a conclusion, "I think that compared to sleeping in a coffin together, the love scenes and the like are nothing."
Lin Qiu thought: What she said makes a lot of sense, and I am speechless.
"Although I don't really understand the delicate emotions of humans, according to what I know, the hero Lin Qiu is a guy who likes women - of course, the truth is not so." Xiao joined the topic, "But the outside world's understanding of you is not the truth. Because of this, adding some emotional scenes may reduce the vigilance of the doctor's subordinates."
The script of Coral Palace Heart Sea is as follows: In the process of fulfilling the agreement, Lin Qiu, who was still lustful even though he was about to die, couldn't help but launch a strategy to attack the traveler, and finally succeeded in winning the heart of the blonde traveler.
Of course, the above is just a setting. What is important is the specific script and lines.
Xinhai's changes to the script even made the reason why the blond traveler protected Lin Qiu when facing Xiao's spear more realistic, but the prerequisite is that Ying can perform perfectly.
Lin Qiu is not too worried about this aspect.
Before traveling through time, he had witnessed the traveler's long journey to Sumeru. If you ask her if she has acting skills, the answer is definitely yes. The blonde girl's acting skills can be seen in many subsequent events.
With Xinhai's on-site guidance, there is absolutely no problem in this regard.
Despite this, Lin Qiu still felt that it shouldn't become a reality, maybe...
As a result, the emotional scenes that were originally deleted from Hu Tao's script, which had undergone many revisions, were added back by Xin Hai.
In the quiet night outside Liyue Harbor, the three of them followed the updated script and once again began practicing their exciting drama against the Doctor.
……
The next morning, Lin Qiu returned to Liyue Harbor, his upper body clothes soaked with the travelers’ bodily fluids—tears—and she acted very hard.
Last night, Lin Qiu died more than a dozen times, and the traveler threw himself on his chest and cried more than a dozen times.
Judging from Sister Ying’s performance last night, there is absolutely no problem with the new script, and her performance even far exceeded Xinhai’s expectations.
Now, Lin Qiu, who has returned to Liyue Harbor, needs to go to the Hall of Rebirth and perform the ceremony with the Qilin Girl again to strengthen his physique and soul through the Qilin's blood.
After greeting Zhongli who was drinking tea at the door, Lin Qiu walked towards the hall of the Rebirth Hall. Speaking of which, he couldn't remember how many times he had seen Old Master Dijun leisurely drinking tea in front of the Rebirth Hall and greeted him.
In the hall of the Rebirth Hall, Shen Zi and Gan Yu had been waiting for a long time. Lin Qiu followed them to the empty room before, replicated the previous process, and started the ceremony of drawing Qilin blood.
Perhaps because of the time they have spent together, Ganyu and Lin Qiu have gradually become familiar with each other.
This time, when Lin Qiu bit her fingertips and began to lick them, the Qilin girl directly expressed her thoughts.
"The big hero's tongue is very clever, just like the little dogs on the roadside. Sometimes when I feed them, they will lick my hands... Ah, sorry! I shouldn't compare you to a small animal."
Lin Qiu was sucking blood and had no time to reply to Ganyu at this moment. The son of God who was maintaining the ceremony said for him: "No need to apologize, sister Ganyu, words like little animal are quite suitable for Lin Qiu - he was called a beast in Inazuma because of his bravery."
Although Hayashi Qiu did not hold any official position in Inazuma, he was the man who conquered the Tenryo Bugyo General, and the soldiers regarded him as the ultimate strong man.
There are even new recruits who recently joined the Tenryo Bugyo army who respectfully address him as "the great hero senior who moves like a wild beast" to express their respect, or simply "Beast Senior".
Just like last time, the ceremony ended not long after.
The recovery speed of the half-immortal beast is much faster than that of humans. Ganyu's bitten fingertips recovered quickly. Lin Qiu handed the handkerchief to Miss Qilin as he did last time, asking her to wipe off the saliva on her fingertips.
"How is the situation this time?" Lin Qiu asked.
At first, Shen Zi looked a little surprised. After a few seconds of silence, she smiled and said, "It's a bit surprising. I don't know what you and Sister Ganyu did during the time you were alone together. Your compatibility has greatly improved."
"Then can I transform now?" Lin Qiu asked.
"What a pity, it still doesn't work. We need to perform the last ritual." Yae Shinko said, "But there's no need to rush for the last ritual. After all, it takes time for your body to absorb this energy."
"If that's the case, then we have to wait until we've dealt with the Doctor's incident before we can continue?" Ganyu asked.
Shen Zi shook his fox ears and nodded, saying, "Yes, just as Sister Ganyu said."
"In fact, I have booked a banquet at Xinyuexuan, and I want to invite everyone to taste the delicious moon dishes - as a pre-war mobilization against the doctor." Ganyu said with a smile, "If the friends of the great hero are free, I hope everyone can come and get together."
"That's no problem, of course. We're all pretty free. After all, apart from PhD work, there's nothing else to do," said Lin Qiu.
As for the matter concerning the doctor, it has now been settled. All that needs to be done next is to proceed steadily according to the plan, and no additional action is required.
In other words, today and tomorrow's daytime are both leisure time to rest and prepare for the next major event.
……
So, Lin Qiu began to invite everyone he could to participate in the banquet initiated by Ganyu.
First of all, it goes without saying that the Son of God will definitely come to participate, so Lin Qiu went to ask Linghua about her wishes, and Princess Bailu agreed very decisively. Although she allowed Lin Qiu to do various things, she ultimately hoped to stay with Lin Qiu more.
Then he went to find Xiao Gong and Qiliangliang, the fireworks shop girl and the cat delivery man. When they heard that they could go to a top restaurant to eat, they were very interested in joining in.
Recently, Xiao Gong has eaten a lot of local delicacies in Liyue, but she has never eaten at the two top restaurants, Liuliting and Xinyuexuan.
It’s not that Xiao Gong can’t afford it or doesn’t want to eat it, it’s just that she can’t make a reservation and there’s nothing she can do about it. Now that the great hero has invited her, of course she has to happily try it.
As for Qi Liangliang, he had heard that the moon dishes at Xinyuexuan were all authentic seafood, and the cat, who had long wanted to taste the delicious big fish, couldn't wait any longer.
Next was Xinhai's turn. Lin Qiu was a little worried as she didn't like fish dishes, so how would she deal with the specialties of the port city? However, Xinhai still readily agreed.
She just doesn't like eating fish, but she won't stop others from eating fish. Besides, Xinyuexuan's ingredients include more than just fish, so she will choose dishes according to her preferences.
Then came the travelers. Paimon was very happy when he heard that there was delicious food. In this case, Ying would definitely come, just for Paimon.
