After a while, Qin slowly accepted everything. She didn't expect that in just one morning, she seemed to have released a year's worth of emotions.
"Then, Lord Wind God..."
"Just call me Arthur. Look at the Wind God next door. To be honest, just treat us as ordinary friends. There's no need to be so restrained."
Unexpectedly, Qin suddenly became restrained, probably not just because of the change in her identity, but also because of everything she had done for Mond.
"Well, Arthur, thank you for your help. Now that there is no threat from the Fatui, Mondstadt can focus on its development. But you should keep the Mora. You have done a lot for Mondstadt. We cannot accept these Mora."
"Then Arthur, since this matter was caused by me, why don't you give me some? Even one hundred million won't be enough for me to drink for a long time!"
The good atmosphere was completely ruined by Wendy.
I always feel that Wendy is even more shameless than before. Could it be that Wendy had been very self-restrained before?
"Qin, you guys can keep it. After all, Mora is enough for me. There is no other use for so much Mora except to store Zhang Hui. If you really want to give me something, just give me a house and a one-handed sword."
Qin did not refuse anymore. After all, Mond really needed money to invest in post-war construction. As for real estate and weapons, that would be easy to solve.
You just need to think about it carefully, don't be too perfunctory, and choose carefully.
Chapter 47: One Week After the Celebration
Now my daily life is to get up, drag Wendy out of the tavern, then throw her into the tavern, call Ying and Paimon to eat, wait for Wendy to wake up, let Wendy teach me, come back in the evening to eat, then Wendy continues to go to the tavern and I go back to rest.
It seems that Ying was introduced to the Adventurer's Guild recently because she had nothing to do. She has been accepting commissions every day, and Ying can be heard complaining during every meal.
In the blink of an eye, Arthur had already taken over from Wendy for a week.
[System update completed, this update item: Heart of God.
After the system update, you can use 16000 original stones to purchase the God's Heart you already have. Each God's Heart can only be purchased once. It has the same functions as the original version, but after purchase, the original God's Heart will merge with the host and cannot appear in the Teyvat continent. 】
[Heart of God (Wind): One of the Seven Gods, the possession of the Wind God of Mondstadt. After the system update, when held, it can absorb the faith generated by Mondstadt. Consuming faith can draw limited card pools. All items in the card pool are one-time products and are affected by the region. ]
In general, the update only adds a card pool and the option to purchase the Heart of God. Its greatest benefit is that it can completely eliminate the snooping of the Fatui.
When Arthur continued to look for Wendy and planned to learn, he was rejected.
The reason was that Arthur had learned almost everything, and he was not a god who was proficient in too many skills. Since the various skills of manipulating the wind and the archery of the Age of Gods had been passed on to Arthur, that was enough.
But Wendy also provided Arthur with a candidate to learn from, that is Liyue's Geo King. As a martial god, Morax is far better than everyone else in various martial arts, Liyue's magic, or the power of elemental creation. As the oldest demon among the Seven Gods, Morax is far more proficient than everyone else.
Arthur didn't bother with it anymore. After studying for a week, even if he had a learning buff due to his preference, it was time to take a break and relax.
When I returned to the hotel, I found two boxes on the table. One box was the same box that Diluk used to store Tevarin's tears, and the other was a long wooden box.
There was also a note left on the desk.
The general meaning is that when Jean came and didn't find Arthur, she contacted the store manager to borrow the key to open the door and put the things inside. The two boxes contained the reward given to Arthur by the Knights of Favonius.
"I didn't expect Qin to be ready so quickly. I just said it casually, but Qin took it too seriously."
I don't really care about real estate. After learning more about it, I found that although the prices of various food ingredients in Mond are high, that's because the cultivation is always destroyed by various wild beasts and hillbillies, and the market needs to hire adventurers or special people to take care of it. In addition, the prices are high due to the wear and tear during transportation. However, things like weapons, armor, and houses are not expensive.
First, he opened the long wooden box, and what came into view was a one-handed sword with a black glow. The sword had blades on both sides and was well-made. The decorations and carvings made it look more like a sword that a noble would carry with them as a decoration.
[Item name: Zongshi Long Sword
Effect: When attacking, there is a 10% chance of triggering a critical hit effect, which can be superimposed with the skill effect. When the triggering probability is greater than or equal to 100%, the attack will definitely trigger a critical hit effect.
Item Description: A sword worn by a former noble who once ruled Mondstadt. Finely crafted, with decorations and carvings that reveal the status of the wielder.
Compared with the previous Edgeless Sword, it has an additional skill effect, but there are only two possibilities when using the sword yourself. One is that the opponent can receive the blade, then no damage can be caused; the other is that the opponent cannot receive the blade, then it will trigger a sure hit and a critical hit.
But the quality is definitely much better than the edgeless sword.
Then it was time to open another box, inside was a title deed and a map, the location of the house was marked on the map, looking at the map it was a property outside of the city, the route was indicated on the map, notes were written on it, the house was fully furnished.
The location of the map mark is marked on the system's built-in map.
Just think about it, it has been less than a month since I came to the continent of Teyvat, and I already own a property of my own. If this were in modern times, I would have to work hard for a long time by myself, or even spend half my life paying off the mortgage.
He put away the royal sword and prepared to go and take a look at the house that Qin had given him. He might have to live there for a while in the future.
After thinking about it, he decided to call Ying. At this time, Ying would probably just get up. After all, the commissions were mostly in the afternoon or evening, so Arthur planned to take Ying with him to take a look. Moreover, Ying's attributes of adventure (worker) and family (family) had already appeared. If he really needed anything, he could directly ask Ying to help. Come to think of it, it seemed that he had not been to the Adventurer's Association since he registered as an adventurer.
"What's wrong, Arthur? What do you want me to do for you?"
Ying looked like she hadn't woken up yet. She opened the door with sleepy eyes, and her pajamas were in disarray. It seemed that Ying hadn't gotten up yet. When she heard the knock on the door, she buttoned up her clothes in a daze and opened the door.
Because she had just woken up and her mind was not clear yet, the buttons of her clothes were all wrongly fastened, revealing a glimpse of her spring scenery from the collar. One of her shoulders also slipped down because the buttons were fastened incorrectly, but it did not fall off.
"Ying, are you still not up? I thought you were up, so I wanted to ask you and Paimon to go with me to the house that Qin sent me."
Hearing the word "house", Ying suddenly woke up.
She pressed down Arthur's shoulders with both hands. Because of Ying's action, one side of his clothes slipped off his shoulder. Because of the slipping of the clothes, a deep groove appeared on his chest, which was originally tightly wrapped.
"Ying is not small anymore!"
Arthur calmed himself down, but he didn't know what it meant that he was thinking about this so much.
Ying gradually came to her senses and felt that her current outfit was a little inappropriate. She let go of Arthur, went back to the room, changed into the clothes she had been wearing, and then came out again, bringing Paimon who had just been awakened with her.
"Let's go, tell me what happened on the way."
Then he walked out of the tavern holding Paimon in one hand and Arthur in the other.
Finally, Ying remembered that she didn't know the route, so she let go of Arthur's hand and let him lead the way. On the way, she also told Ying everything that happened after the celebration.
Finally, they arrived at the location on the map, and a building appeared before their eyes.
Chapter 48 Living with Ying
The first thing that caught my eye was a three-story building surrounded by a two-meter-high wall. Entering from the main gate, I saw a villa that was similar to the Chenxi Winery.
Entering the room, the decoration inside is very simple. There are no valuable works of art. There is only a pair of decorative swords and a one-meter-high round shield hanging on the wall. There is nothing else.
Ying and Paimon came in and visited various places with Arthur.
The third floor is the storage room, which contains some wooden boxes filled with common vegetables and fruits. The first floor is the reception room. There is a wooden round table in the hall, which can accommodate about ten people to eat together. The north side of the room is the kitchen, and the south side is two small rooms. One is relatively simple, with only a bookcase and two sets of chairs. It seems that the previous owner used this place as a study. There are all kinds of books on the bookcase, ranging from the history of the Seven Kingdoms to the Liyue novels, with a very rich variety.
The other room is a small reception room with a square wooden table in the middle and a chair on each side. There are two bouquets of flowers on a small table near the window, one of which is Cecilia flowers and the other is glass lilies from Liyue. There is also a cabinet next to the small table with neatly placed tea sets.
The second floor is the bedroom. There are five bedrooms in the whole second floor. Two bedrooms are located on the right side of the stairs. They are very tidy, as if someone has always taken care of them. The other three bedrooms are relatively small. They are all bedrooms for single people and should be guest rooms reserved for guests.
Arthur came to the first bedroom on the right side of the stairs and put his belongings inside. He planned to live here from now on.
"Ying, what have you said to Paimon? Do you want to live here together, or continue to live in Mondstadt? There are so many rooms here, and it would be useless for me to live alone..."
After saying that, Arthur reacted. Although he had been with Ying for a while, it was okay to stay in a hotel before. Although the rooms were only a stone's throw away, it was in a hotel after all, and no one would care too much. But the current situation was to invite a person of the opposite sex to live in his home. To use modern terms, it was to invite others to live together.
Arthur felt a little regretful after saying this. After all, there was nothing wrong with what he said. But when he thought about it carefully, it was like inviting Ying to live together. Isn't this a disguised confession of love?
But Ying didn't seem to think too much about it and agreed directly. Then, amid Paimon's cheers, she went to the bedroom next door and planned to stay there.
Since Ying didn't care, there was no need for him to care too much. But Arthur thought about it, did he have a crush on Ying? To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he didn't. Or, everyone has a love for beauty. In addition, they have fought together for so long and have forged a deep friendship. However, this crush is more like calling a paper person your wife. Maybe they will fall in love after spending some time together in the future, but now they are more like friends or comrades.
The room was fully stocked with items. The only things that needed to be replenished were various meat products and a new set of tableware. Ying went back to get the things she had left at the hotel and checked out at the same time. The task of buying things fell on Arthur.
First, he bought a few new sets of tableware, and added some poultry and animal meat. When buying things, the store owner saw that it was Arthur and didn't even ask Arthur for money. Instead, he gave him a lot of money. If it weren't for the system's own warehouse, there would be too many things blocking the view.
But Arthur paid the money anyway. The store owner didn't ask for it, so he just put the money on the counter and turned away, without giving the store owner a chance to return the money.
After Ying packed up their things, the two returned to the villa outside the city together. Ying went back to the room first to put her things away. Arthur saw that the sun was already overhead, so he took out some freshly bought meat and vegetables and planned to make lunch.
"Come to think of it, I think I got a five-star recipe once. I don't know what the effect is, so I'll take this opportunity to make it and see."
Arthur first cooked a pot of rice, then fried two dishes and brought them to the table, then returned to the kitchen, intending to try the method used in the Judgment.
The materials were simple, as this recipe did not require any fixed ingredients. So two portions of animal meat and two portions of cabbage were prepared. However, this recipe was different from the original cake. For that cake, I could easily understand how it was made, but for this dish, no matter how much I studied it, I could not figure out how to make it.
Since he couldn't understand it, he just used the effect of culinary mastery to directly create this dish called Judgment Time. He even remembered the system's prompt sound after it was done.
[Host, please select the image of the dish. If you do not select, the default state will be used. ] First release transfer ②⑤⑤⑤⑨⑤③Mio Rei
"Well, is this dish so magical that I can choose the appearance? Then I'll choose fried meat with honey-glazed carrots."
[Selection successful, current appearance: Fried meat with honey-glazed carrots.]
Although the system's prompt sounded, a plate of fried meat with honey-glazed carrots appeared on the plate. The appearance looked the same as when Amber treated him to a meal, but his intuition told him that it was just the appearance. So without giving it much thought, he placed the dish, which was listed as a five-star recipe by the system, on the table.
But I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that the fried carrots with honey in the plate seemed to make a "hissing" sound, just like the sound of a hot knife cutting butter.
After placing all the dishes on the table, Arthur went to the second floor and asked the two to come down to eat.
After sitting on the table, the system voice sounded again.
[Warning! Warning! Please stay away from the table immediately to avoid danger. If you do not choose to stay away, please do not consume the Judgment Time. ]
[Warning again! Please stay away from the table immediately to avoid danger. If you do not choose to stay away, please do not consume the Judgment Time. ]
It was as if the system rules had been triggered, and the system's voice sounded frantically. However, when asked the reason, the system pretended to be dead and continued to repeat the warning words.
But to be honest, Arthur didn't understand why the system asked him to stay away from the table and emphasized the time of judgment. After all, the system's original prompt was a dish made by a younger sister for her older sister and friends. I thought it was some kind of dark cuisine, but since the appearance can be set, as long as the taste is good, it's fine. It can't be that the younger sister wants to harm her older sister and friends.
Seeing that Arthur had been ignoring the system, the system stopped warning, but sent a new reminder.
[If you want to eat, please taste and judge at the end. To avoid serious consequences.]
Seeing that the system's words had changed, Arthur decided to listen to the system this time. It seemed that the system knew the effect of this dish, but just didn't say it. After tasting it, could it be the dish from the Medicine King next door? After eating it, he was too satisfied to eat anything else?
Without thinking too much, he asked the two to prepare to eat, and told Ying and Paimon that the middle dish of "Fried Pork with Honey Carrots" should be eaten last.
As Arthur announced the start of dinner, the three of them began to taste the delicious food on the table.
Chapter 49: Transaction with the Lady
"good to eat!"
Paimon ate the food with his eyes shining.
As expected of an expert cook, even though she had made a cake before, this was her first time cooking directly. Looking at Ying and Paimeng frantically cleaning up the food on their plates, you knew it must taste good.
In less than a moment, all the food on the table was eaten up, leaving only the time to judge the fried meat with honey-glazed carrots.
"Okay! Let Paimon try what this last dish tastes like!"
Then the three of them picked up the chopsticks and reached for the last dish together, but judging from the shape and taste, it was no different from the ordinary fried meat with honey carrots. However, when the three of them thrust the chopsticks deep into the air, something unexpected happened.
Three "bang" sounds were heard at the same time. If there were outsiders here, they would have noticed that after the three people took a bite of the Judgment, they all fell to the ground in unison, their eyes turned white and they were foaming at the mouth.
[The host's life is detected to be in danger. When the judgment is detected, the current faith in the Heart of God is consumed to heal the host. 】
As a burst of golden light flashed from Arthur's body, Arthur regained consciousness. Before he lost consciousness, he only remembered that the three of them were about to put food into their mouths, but the next moment, he was lying on the ground.
Then he saw that he was not the only one lying on the ground. Paimon and Ying were also lying on the ground with foam at the mouth and white eyes, and they had already started twitching.
Arthur used cleansing and healing spells twice to save Ying and Paimon from danger, but he didn't expect that this seemingly normal judgment would actually poison both himself and Ying.
Did the younger sister who made this dish have a blood feud with her sister and friends? She actually made such a dish. It is worthy of being a five-star recipe. Just one bite can bring people to the brink of death. If you eat the whole portion, you might be able to kill the devil directly. No wonder she reminded you to stay away from the crowd.
"Ah, I seem to see the food I ate waving to me from the other side of the river."
"I thought I saw my brother telling me to cross the bridge."
Paimon and Ying woke up, and their consciousness seemed to have had a dream after taking the Judgment. They dreamed of a river and someone waving at them from the other side of the river.
"Pfft, what is the Teyvat version of the Naihe Bridge? Besides, isn't your brother alive?"
In the end, based on Arthur's explanation, the two realized that they and others nearly died because they ate a bite of food. Finally, they made a decision together that they must never make a judgment again.
Then Arthur placed the remaining Judgment Time and the plate outside the gate of the wall, intending to find a place to throw it away when he went out tomorrow to avoid hurting innocent people.
But when the door opened the next day, the plate and the judgment disappeared. It was probably taken away by wild beasts or hillbillies.
But inside the abyss, that day they were looking for doctors everywhere and summoning a large number of water hill shamans to save their endangered prince.
The first thing Kong said when he woke up was: "You must not let Ying into the kitchen."
It seemed like there was some misunderstanding, but neither side knew the other's actual situation, and the matter just passed.
Because there was nothing to do, no need to study with Wendy, and nothing major happened, and knowing that there would be no crisis later, Arthur began to slowly become lazy after that.
Every day after getting up with Ying, I make breakfast first, and then wait for Ying to go take on missions from the Adventurer's Association. I stay at home and slack off. In the afternoon, Ying goes home to buy groceries, and I make dinner and continue slacking off. That's it.
The new God of Wind became a stay-at-home.
It’s a pity that there are no mobile phones and computers in the world of Teyvat, otherwise I could lie in bed forever. I can only pass the time by reading books every day.
