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

And Hu Tao. Master Hu has already recovered from the exhaustion of staying up all night making coffins. Now she is very adept at showing off to fans or doing other things.

Finally, there were two people who couldn’t come.

Although Ye Lan's mission to find Ganyu has ended, she is still busy preparing for a series of subsequent things and is very busy.

After finding Ye Lan, Lin Qiu asked about the status of the armored man parts in the warehouse and whether the experts from Xumi had arrived.

The answer is, it came, but not completely.

It is said that Xumi's experts were on the way and heard that the great hero Lin Qiu's demonic power was about to get out of control. They were so scared that they set up camp near the Layered Rock Abyss and dared not come over.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh: Rumors are really scary.

As for the Immortal Xiao, he could not be found at all. He was probably busy somewhere. After searching everywhere, there was still no result. Sister Ying's call was not as effective as before. After thinking about it, Lin Qiu decided not to disturb the Demon-Subduing Great Sage from his work.

……

At night, Xinyuexuan, the corridor in front of the box door.

Before entering the private room, the eccentric Master Hu said, "Since the guests coming to dine this time include both Liyue people and Inazuma people, I'm sure the seating habits of both sides are different. Logically, we should follow the local customs. However, I have a bold idea."

Then Walnut suggested that she wanted to choose each person's seat by drawing lots. After all, it was not a serious banquet, and this would be very interesting.

Everyone agreed.

For the girls who want to get close to Lin Qiu, drawing lots can increase the probability of sitting next to Lin Qiu, because under normal circumstances, Lin Qiu will definitely sit next to Ganyu, the organizer of the party.

Hu Tao took out a wooden tube from somewhere, which looked like it was specially used for drawing lots. She walked to a secluded place and started writing slips for drawing lots.

However, she was Walnut, so of course she would not simply write notes according to the normal seats. One of the seats she wrote was "Sit on Lin Qiu's lap."

The reason for doing this is very simple. The girl just wanted to play a prank and tease Lin Qiu. After all, most of the women present have a close relationship with Lin Qiu, so they would not mind and would be very happy instead.

In order to prevent herself from being tricked, she folded a corner of the note as a mark.

In addition, Linqiu does not participate in the lottery.

Because according to the rules set by Walnut, Lin Qiu was the first to take his seat, and the seats written on the other notes were arranged based on Lin Qiu.

For example, "the first and second on the left side of the hill", "the first and second on the right side of the hill", and so on.

Master Hu, who was ready to play a prank, came to the girls holding a wooden tube used for drawing lots.

"Everyone take turns to smoke." Walnut said, shaking the wooden barrel.

The first one to draw the lot was Ganyu. After all, it was she who hosted the banquet. The Qilin girl reached into the wooden tube and fumbled around, and suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the note.

The corner of the note was slightly raised. Yes, that was the mark made by Walnut. The note was in the perfect position to sit on Lin Qiu's legs.

Gan Yu, out of the rigor of a secretary, or to be more precise, obsessive-compulsive disorder, used her fingers to gently press the signature sheet, which Hu Tang had specially marked, back to its original state - she often did this to smooth out the wrinkles on documents when working at home.

Then, Gan Yu thought: What am I doing! If I just bring this piece of paper up, there won't be any problem. Why do I have to flatten it...

Just as Ganyu was flattening the paper and picking it up, she accidentally let the paper slip out of her hand. There was no choice but to pick up another one at random.

"Hmm? 'The left side of Lin Qiu.'" Ganyu read.

Linghua and the others stared straight at the note in the Qilin girl's hand. For them, this was a perfect position.

At the same time, Kurumi realized something was wrong. If she kept holding the lottery box and no one else took the marked paper, she would be the one in trouble.

Hu Tao thought of a clever idea and said, "Since this is the way the hall master came up with, I will draw the second lot. What do you think?"

It was originally just a game, and no one really cared, so they agreed with Hu Tao's opinion.

Kurumi held the wooden tube against her chest with one hand, reached in, and picked up a piece of unwrinkled paper at random, but she held it in her palm without looking at it, and let others continue to draw the lottery.

Master Hu was very curious and looking forward to what kind of expression someone would show when he drew the top-notch position of "Lin Qiu's leg".

But the fact is, although the expressions of the girls who drew the lots were different, none of them were too exaggerated, and no one showed any excitement until the last piece of paper was drawn.

Walnut thought: What's going on? If I didn't draw the marked paper, then someone else must have drawn it, why are you all so calm?

She put down the bamboo tube in her hand.

At this time, Princess Bai Lu came to Hu Tao's side and greeted him, "Hello, Master Hu, thank you for helping our Mr. Lin build a coffin. By the way, what position did you draw?"

"I haven't read it yet. Let me take a look now." When Hu Tao opened the paper in her hand, she was suddenly stunned. She noticed that there were subtle fold marks on the edge that had been smoothed out.

Could it be... No way...

The mischievous Walnut eventually suffered the consequences.

Chapter 131 Ying: I Like You (4k)

Xinyuexuan corridor, in front of the box door.

Just as Hu Tao had guessed, the worst situation happened. The person who drew the "sitting on Lin Qiu's lap" was actually herself - it was like digging a hole for herself to fall into.

The contents of the note were not only seen by Kurumi, but also by Miss Kamisato beside her, who could see it very clearly.

Linghua narrowed her eyes and said, "Hmm? Miss Kurumi, you wrote something like this..."

At this moment, the girl in the Hall of Rebirth felt a chill, but if she explained it now as a misunderstanding, probably not many people would believe it.

She thought Linghua would be jealous of her, very jealous, but she didn't expect Linghua's behavior to be completely different from what she imagined.

Master Hu turned his head carefully to observe the eldest lady's expression, but unexpectedly, Linghua had a smile on her lips, and it was a sincere and happy smile without any sinisterness, as if she was very happy that Hu Tao joined this big family.

Linghua excitedly held Hu Tao's hands and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that Master Hu also had this idea. Please be sure to come to Inazuma to play and stay at Kamisato House. Mr. Lin also often stays at Kamisato House..."

Hu Tao was completely stunned.

She totally couldn't understand why, despite the misunderstanding that she wanted to fight for Lin Qiu, Princess Egret was so calm and even seemed to be welcoming.

I don’t understand. I totally don’t understand!

After a few seconds, Kurumi gave up thinking.

Everyone else had already entered the box and taken their seats, only Kurumi and Linghua were still standing at the door. Shenzi, realizing that there were few people, came out and saw the two people at the door.

"What are you doing?" asked the Son of God.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the note dropped by the girl in the Hall of Rebirth and picked it up.

"Is this Miss Hu's stuff?" Shen Zi looked at the contents of the note, "Huh? Wow! What an unexpected seat content!"

Kurumi thought: Since Miss Kamisato doesn't seem to mind, I'm sure that the magnanimous Yaejima wouldn't care too much about this misunderstanding, right?

But she saw that there seemed to be light in the pink fox woman's eyes - lightning! Laser!!

After all, for Ayaka, as long as Mr. Lin is happy, as long as Kamisato House can accommodate more girls, the better. But Miss Fox is not as broad-minded as she looks. She is very jealous.

The air was filled with a strange atmosphere, and Kurumi's twin ponytails almost stood up.

Yae Shinko looked Hu Tao up and down with his glowing eyes: I originally thought that this little girl would not pose any threat, but I didn't expect that she is so well hidden!

In the current state of the Son of God, the great monster's intelligence has been almost halved. Of course he could not imagine that this was a joke played by Walnut to trick Lin Qiu.

Hu Tao originally thought that after letting other girls sit on the Great Hero's lap, they would observe Lin Qiu's behavior and react accordingly. For example, if Lin Qiu was at a loss, Hu Tao would call him "small fry hero".

I didn't expect the car to overturn and encounter a dangerous fox.

Although Shen Zi's heart was already filled with thunder and lightning, she still spoke in a gentle tone, teasing, "Well, it seems that Miss Walnut really wants to sit on Lin Qiu's lap to eat this meal. There are traces of tampering on the corners of the note, and I deliberately flattened it with my fingers afterwards."

Linghua finally realized what the problem was.

"Really?" Linghua just realized.

"Well, well, this is a misunderstanding." Hu Tao explained quickly, "I just wanted to..."

"I know you want to sit on Lin Qiu's lap." Shen Zi pushed her into the room, "Then hurry up and fulfill your wish. Don't keep everyone waiting."

Hu Tao had to bear the consequences of her own sins, even with tears in her eyes. She could only hold the note tightly in her hand, walk quickly towards Lin Qiu who had already taken his seat, and sit on his lap in full view of everyone.

Lin Qiu fell silent.

"Master Hu, what new job are you going to do?" He looked at the girl on his lap and complained helplessly, "If you have nothing to do, you can bite the Eye of God. You don't have to do this kind of thing."

"Just treat this as my great adventure." Kurumi lowered his voice and said, "Since I'm so serious about making the coffin, let me sit for a meal."

She had to admit that this was the most outrageous dinner she had ever had.

Kurumi's face suddenly turned red, and she complained softly, "Ouch, it hit me."

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t talk nonsense!” Lin Qiu also complained in a low voice, “That’s the rune stone in my pocket. It’s used to block the doctor’s remote monitoring. It’s not something weird!”

This little action in the lottery, or more precisely, proposing to allocate positions by drawing lots, is the most abstract behavior in Walnut's life.

none of them.

Because not only Hu Tao's draw results, but also the draw results of others were very show-like.

None of Lin Qiu's old acquaintances at Inazuma sat next to Lin Qiu.

Thanks to Hall Master Hu, Lin Qiu had Ganyu on his right, sister Ying on his left, and Hu Tao herself sitting in front of him.

Also, Paimon was sitting next to Ying.

Everyone was not very happy with the meal.

Ganyu and Ying could feel multiple gazes constantly directed towards them. Although these gazes were not directed at them but at Lin Qiu who was sandwiched between them, the uncomfortable feeling still existed.

As for the initiators of the gazes, they were naturally Linghua, Shen Zi, Xiao Gong, Xin Hai and the others. They held different opinions about the fact that there was a beautiful girl from Liyue sitting on Lin Qiu, but no matter what opinions they held, they couldn't help but look in the direction of Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu and Hu Tao, who became the focus of everyone's attention, certainly did not eat well. Hall Master Hu was of course nervous because everyone was staring at her. It was the first time in her life that she, who was usually cheerful and lively, became timid because of other people's eyes.

Lin Qiu was used to everyone's attention. What he was worried about was the weight of Master Hu on his legs, and as Hu Tao had just said, he had to carefully adjust her position on his thighs to avoid hitting her - he was talking about the rune stone.

Of course, Lin Qiu also had to be careful not to over-feel Master Hu's soft and white thighs, otherwise it would not be as simple as just being hit by the rune stone.

Among so many people who came to eat, only two of them spent the meal eating and drinking lavishly.

The first one is Qi Liangliang.

In Qiliangliang's eyes, Lin Qiu is just a troublesome friend. After all, there is not much interaction between them, and what is more important is that Lin Qiu left Qiliangliang with bad memories.

Except... he smells like catnip.

Therefore, the wonderful scene of Kurumi sitting on Lin Qiu's legs only attracted Qi Liangliang's attention at the beginning. After the fish food was served, she could no longer divert her attention from the food.

Eat! Eat!

There is another one, Paimon, who came with Ying. The two of them are inseparable.

Paimon often can't understand the atmosphere, and in this situation, she still doesn't realize the problem. She is just like Kirara the cat, eating, eating, eating!

……

At the end of the dinner, although Lin Qiu was not drunk at all, he could be said to be very sober. Now if he was asked to act out the role of Dr. Routine, he could do it perfectly.

But Linghua, Xiaogong, Xinhai and Shenzi said that Lin Qiu was drunk, and they joined forces to carry him towards the inn, not giving him any chance to struggle.

Before leaving, Linghua gave Hu Tao a look.

"No, no, I won't come to participate!" Hu Tao quickly waved her hand to correct him, "This is all a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, I didn't lie to you!"

……

The Institute of Ph.D.

Two blue-haired men, wearing masks on their faces, who looked similar, one old and one young, were communicating in the laboratory.

The young doctor said, "It seems that my plan is close to success. The manufacturing of Mechanical Osel is just one step away."

In front of the young doctor, the more mature doctor said: "In this case, I don't need to continue to assist you with the project. Give me the Heart of God. I will go to Mondstadt to do what I want to do. When your Liyue project is completed, it will be your turn to come to Mondstadt to be my assistant."

Normally, slices of PhDs will not cooperate with each other because they are the embodiment of PhDs of each age group, and the cognition of PhDs at different stages is different.

Therefore, rather than cooperating with each other, they tend to work on various projects of interest individually. They will only gather together when there is a necessary task for the Fatui or a major project that attracts the attention of all the doctors.

However, these two doctoral slices are special among many slices. They reached a subtle consensus and joined forces to betray the Fatui and secretly collect the Heart of the Rock God, just to achieve the great common goal in their minds.

As for the goal, it has a lot to do with the Heart of the Rock God and the pile of scrap metal of the ruins guards - they want to try to make the Demon God machine ascend.

Originally, this plan was supposed to be implemented on Sanbing, but Sanbing was not up to the task and was reduced to ashes by Inazuma. Therefore, the two doctors found a better experimental subject, which was the Whirlpool Demon that was sealed on the coast of Liyue.

The day for the implementation of the plan is getting closer and closer.

The young doctor handed the Heart of God to the older doctor, and then he said: "There is a variable regarding my project in Liyue, and the situation of this variable has been complicated recently."

"Lin Qiu?" asked the older doctor.

The young doctor nodded and continued, "Yes, according to the intelligence sent by the front line, Lin Qiu has recently been unable to withstand the power of Orobas and is on the verge of death. According to my calculations, he will either explode with the power of the Death Demon or transform into a new Demon."

The old doctor said, "No, I think there is a third possibility. He has been going to the Hall of the Dead frequently recently. On the surface, he is preparing for his funeral, but in fact, he is probably in contact with the Rock King. Perhaps he wants to commit suicide and completely seal his demonic power before he dies."
