Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

As for the thought that 'Yu Qi really can't beat the Hilichurls', it never appeared in the girl's mind for even a second.

If it was somewhere else, and the girl met someone who said they couldn’t beat the Hilichurls, she would believe it; but the question is, where is this place?

Deep in Qingxupu, next door is Lingju Pass, and further in is the Layered Rock Abyss; in this place, young rock dragon lizards are crawling all over the ground, rock dragon lizards appear in groups, and there are ruins guards and ruins mechas everywhere. Even the hillock thugs have to stick together to survive, and hillock kings are not uncommon. How could an adventurer who can walk here safely alone be afraid of a few hillock people?

Isn't that a monster that can be driven away by waving your hand?

Originally the girl was going to say this, but when she saw the genuine doubt on Yu Qi's face, and considering how she had just scared him, she scratched her head and turned around to face the hillbillies.

"Well, I'll chase them away right away. Guoba, come and fight."

Hearing the girl's call, the little panda who stayed there looking at the porridge bucket with a greedy look on his face raised his head and called "lulu" twice to Yu Qi, then took a step forward and ran towards the girl.

Then, as Yu Qi stared blankly, a brilliant flame burst out from Guoba's mouth and easily ignited several hillbillies. Then the girl waved a spear that she had pulled out from somewhere and killed them casually.

The whole process takes less than ten seconds.

"Well, that's it!"

Clapping her hands in satisfaction, the girl walked over to look at Yu Qi and said with a smile: "You are not angry with me now!"

"..."

Chapter 3 Yu Qi and the girl chatting

"Hey~ Wait a minute, um, so, Mr. Yu Qi, you are actually an ordinary person?"

Holding the bowl, the girl slurped the rice porridge while looking at Yu Qi in shock: "For some unknown reason, I suddenly came to this place from home at noon, and then wandered alone in the wild until now?

This kind of thing sounds really bizarre. Could it be that some immortal or god is playing a joke on you?

And Mr. Yu Qi, your experience is really... I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky!"

You could say he was lucky, as he had somehow come from his home to such a dangerous place; you could say he was unlucky, as he had stayed in Qingxupu safely for a whole half day where he could run into two Hilliard thugs every 100 meters he walked, and he encountered several Hilliards on the way, and even ran a long distance along the river in search of food.

Recalling the times when she ran into the Hilliard King while looking for water in the wild, the girl felt a little confused for a moment.

"Hmm!" Nodding helplessly, looking at the girl with a slightly complicated expression, Yu Qi sighed and wrapped the blanket tightly around himself: "Even if you ask me, Xiangling, I don't know."

As he spoke, he lowered his head dejectedly, not letting Xiangling, the girl in front of him, see the horror in his eyes.

"Immortals? Gods? Isn't this a fantasy world, but a world of immortals?"

Taking a deep breath, Yu Qi suppressed his pounding heart, looked around the simple camp, and said helplessly, "Besides, this kind of thing can't be considered lucky anyway, right?"

"Let's not talk about how dangerous this place is. There are so many monsters... ahem, demons. Even if I can be lucky and not encounter them, with the temperature difference between day and night, if I hadn't happened to meet you, Miss Xiangling, I don't think I would have been able to hold out for a few days. I would have either frozen to death or died of illness."

Having said that, Yu Qi looked towards Xiang Ling with genuine gratitude in his eyes.

If she had not invited Yu Qi to spend the night in her camp after defeating the Hilichurls, based on the accommodation Yu Qi had found, he would probably have died the next day given his physique.

I finally traveled through time and space, and finally got a system, but it collapsed halfway because of such a small thing. No matter how you think about it, it's such a loss. If other travelers knew about this, they would probably laugh to death.

"But Mr. Yu Qi, you did meet me. Isn't that still very lucky?" With a chuckle, Xiang Ling put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Yu Qi who seemed still a little cold, thought for a moment, took out a jar of red fruits that looked like small lanterns from the bag beside her, and handed it to him.

"Well, if Mr. Yu Qi still feels cold, why not eat two Jueyun peppers to drive away the cold? You will feel better after a while."

“Jueyun pepper…” Yu Qi hesitated for a moment after looking at the pepper Xiangling handed over, but still chose to take it: “Then, thank you.”

"Haha, it's okay. I ate your porridge anyway, didn't I?" Xiangling waved her hand indifferently, picked up the bowl from the ground, turned around and prepared to serve herself another bowl of porridge. But when she looked towards the porridge bucket, she only saw an empty iron bucket - and a little bear lying next to the iron bucket, burping continuously.

"Hey~ Guoba, what are you doing?! Why did you eat all the porridge secretly?!"

"I just drank a bowl and you ate it all. What should I do?!"

"Lulu? Lulu..." Facing the angry Xiangling, Guoba raised his head with some difficulty and gave her an innocent look, as if to say, 'What are you talking about? Guoba doesn't know.'

Such a look instantly made Xiangling furious. She raised her hand and pinched Guoba's armpit to lift it up, scolding: "It's okay that you are greedy at other times, but why did you eat all the porridge this time? I was planning to taste it carefully and learn the secret of how to make porridge so delicious!

"Now that you've eaten all of this, how can I learn? Well, it's all your fault, Guoba! You're so bad!"

Although she was scolding, in fact, in the eyes of Yu Qi standing by, Xiangling's words were more to help Guoba out of the predicament. After all, what Guoba did this time was indeed a bit outrageous.

You know, the amount of rice porridge that Yu Qi drew was quite large. He used a large bucket commonly used in the canteens on Earth, with a capacity of 30 liters. Even if it was just filled with water, it would weigh 30 kilograms, let alone porridge.

Honestly speaking, Yu Qi didn't think that they could finish the porridge at first, and even prepared to eat porridge three times a day. But...

Looking up and down at Guoba's round belly, even with so much porridge in it, it didn't seem to be bloated at all. Yu Qi secretly murmured to himself: "This Guoba is so good at eating, he must be an important character, right? Could it be like what is written in the novel, a hidden thousand-year-old monster? One day, he lost all his power, and then was picked up by Xiangling, and just followed her like this?"

Thinking of this, Yu Qi couldn't help but look up at Guoba, but happened to meet its gaze. Looking at Guoba's silly and confused eyes, Yu Qi was silent for a moment and decisively denied his previous guess.

After all, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for an old monster who has lived for thousands of years to pretend to be stupid to such a "natural" level.

On the other side, after scolding Guoba, Xiangling put it down and turned to look at Yu Qi, saying helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Qi... Guoba is not like this usually. I thought he would eat two bowls of porridge at most, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy and eat it all in one go!

Well, if you are still hungry, why don’t I make you something to eat? I have collected a lot of ingredients along the way and have improved a lot of new dishes. How about asking you, Mr. Yu Qi, to taste them now?"

"Uh..." Yu Qi glanced at his inventory imperceptibly, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Well, it's too late today, so I won't bother you, Miss Xiangling. Also, if you are interested in the porridge just now..."

"what?"

"I actually have a few buckets here." As he said that, Yu Qi stretched out his hand and waved it towards the side. A thermos bucket that also exuded a rich porridge aroma appeared out of thin air, causing Xiangling and Guoba to widen their eyes.

"Wow... this ability to take things out of thin air, could it be that you, Mr. Yu Qi, have the legendary magical instrument that contains the power of 'external scenery'?"

"Lulu..."

"Ah, this..." Slightly surprised, Yu Qi did not expect that there would be space equipment for storage in this world. However, perhaps this was reasonable. After all, even immortals and gods had appeared, so some storage equipment was definitely not something rare. In addition, Xiangling had also shown the ability to put away weapons before, so he was not too surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Qi shook his head. As he didn't know much about the 'immortals' in this world, he didn't follow Xiang Ling's guess and put the title of 'immortal magic weapon' on his inventory.

"Not really. The effect is somewhat similar, but mine is not an immortal magic weapon that contains the power of 'external scenery'."

When saying this, Yu Qi felt a little nervous, his fingertips slightly clenched, and where Xiang Ling couldn't see, a card in the inventory was ready to go.

The reason why Yu Qi chose to reveal the fact that he had a "storage space" now was not because of a momentary impulse or because he was obsessed with beauty. He just wanted to use this to test Xiang Ling's attitude... for his own safety.

After all, if Yu Qi chooses to travel with Xiang Ling in the future, with a free ten-draw every day, where he can draw a lot of food, no matter how hard Yu Qi hides it, his uniqueness will definitely be exposed.

Rather than facing an unknown situation at that time, Yu Qi felt that it would be better to find out Xiang Ling's opinion on this matter now. If it was not very ideal, he would choose to withdraw in time.

As for, if Xiangling really has this intention, does Yu Qi have the ability to resist?

This was not a problem before, and it is not a problem now.

"Two-star card: Strong Soul: An overly strong soul, exuding the breath of iron and fire. It is the favorite of the devils of hell and the devils of the abyss. After eating it, you can gain some of the power of the soul before it died."

Honestly speaking, when Yu Qi saw the description of this thing, he was a little silent. Although he tried hard to imagine the scope of the 'Food' card pool, he couldn't figure out why this thing called 'Soul' could be drawn out?

Because it is food for demons and devils?

If this is really the case, then the scope of this card pool is extremely large. There is infinite void and countless worlds, and each world has its own specific species. Something that may be considered a taboo in one world may be the food of a certain race in another world.

If you really count it this way, then almost everything can be included in the "Food" card pool.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Qi always felt that it was a bit too far-fetched. The meaning of "food" could never be so broad, so he could only guess that this card pool should have hidden rules that he had not discovered. Perhaps he would explore them one by one when he had the chance in the future.

Back to the topic, when Yu Qi was checking before, he actually accidentally discovered a hidden rule. Rewards like "Strong Soul", in addition to being edible and then inheriting the soul's power before death, actually have a more wasteful use, which is to directly release it and thereby temporarily restore the combat effectiveness before death.

However, after doing so, this soul will be completely destroyed and cannot be reused, and its power can no longer be gained from it.

Hence, it is said to be a waste.

But at the moment, this is the only option available to Yu Qi.

"One-star Baizhou is already so powerful, and a two-star soul also has the word "tough", so its strength should not be weak. At least it is possible to stop Xiangling and create a chance for me to escape."

Thinking of this, he pretended to look at Xiangling calmly, waiting for her reaction.

However, what surprised Yu Qi was that Xiang Ling's reaction was much calmer than he had imagined. She simply said "Oh" to indicate that she understood, and didn't say anything more. She had no intention of continuing to ask questions.

Instead, he stared at the porridge in front of him, muttering, "Hey, what's going on? It tastes exactly the same as the bucket just now, but the feeling in my heart is completely different?"

“After eating this, it feels like lying comfortably in bed, without having to think about anything or do anything; the previous one, however, made me recall the warmth brought to me by my deeply remembered relatives…

It's so strange. It's just porridge cooked with ordinary methods, and the ingredients are nothing special. Why does it have such strange power? Moreover, it seems to be able to restore physical strength. It's really magical~"

"..." Looking at Xiang Ling who was buried in her thoughts and seemed to be in a frenzy, Yu Qi was silent for a moment and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, no answer was also a good answer.

"So, does that mean space items are very common in this world? That's right, in fantasy novels, almost everyone has one of these things."

Shaking his head, Yu Qi tightened the blanket around him, yawned slightly, and felt a surge of tiredness.

After being busy all afternoon and going through so many things, he was already exhausted. If he hadn't eaten a lot of porridge before and regained his energy, and if he hadn't just chewed the Jueyun pepper and felt refreshed by the spiciness, he would probably have fallen asleep by now.

Blinking his eyes dazedly, Yu Qi stuffed a Jueyun pepper into his mouth. Feeling the hotness in his mouth, his body couldn't help but become hot, dispelling the invading coldness.

Looking at Xiangling who was busy working, he asked casually, "By the way, Miss Xiangling, you said before that you came out to look for inspiration and collect ingredients? So, you are a chef?"

"Well, yes, I am now the head chef of Wanmintang!"

"Then is it really appropriate for you to just abandon your job and run away like this?"

"It's okay. Wanmintang is originally a store opened by my family. My father is looking after it. It doesn't matter if I am missing."

"Oh, I see. By the way, I haven't been to Wanmintang yet. Do you have any signature dishes there? Tell me about it."

"This..." Xiangling thought for a moment without stopping her hands, and said casually, "I don't think there is any signature dish. They are all common dishes. Occasionally, I will put some new dishes that I developed and improved. Unfortunately, not many people can accept them."

"Can you tell me more about the Hall of All Peoples?"

Hugging his knees, Yu Qi asked curiously.

"Temple of All Peoples? What's there to say? If you really want to know, I can tell you about it."

After a light cough, Xiangling began to talk to Yu Qi about the history of her own shop, during which Yu Qi would ask a few questions from time to time.

After a while of questions and answers, Yu Qi soon got to know a lot about Wanmin Hall, the country called "Liyue" where Wanmin Hall was located, and the continent called "Teyvat" by Xiangling.

"So, that's what's going on!" Listening to Xiangling's story, Yu Qi murmured softly in his heart: "What a strange world!"

Chapter 4 Yu Qi and the Revealed Identity

"Strange? Ah, is what I said strange? Sorry, this is the first time I'm talking about the history of Wanmin Hall. I'm not very good at speaking, Mr. Yu Qi, please forgive me."

Seeing Xiangling looking a little embarrassed, Yu Qi, knowing that she had misunderstood, did not intend to explain to her, as that would easily expose his identity as an outsider.

However, at this moment, Xiangling seemed to have thought of something, looked at the curious Yu Qi and asked, "By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know where your home is, Mr. Yu Qi. Can you tell me so that I can find the right direction when I escort you back tomorrow?

Is it in Liyue Harbor? Or Qingce Manor, Qiaoying Manor, or Shimen or Dihuazhou?"

“Uh…” Yu Qi’s face froze after hearing Xiang Ling’s unfamiliar place names. After a moment, he shook his head awkwardly: “Well, Miss Xiang Ling, you may have misunderstood. I’m not actually from Liyue.”

"Ah? Not from Liyue?" With her mouth wide open in astonishment, Xiangling stared blankly at Yu Qi, a man with black hair and black eyes. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and she scratched her hair in embarrassment.

"Ahaha, so that's how it is. I saw that you spoke Liyue language so well, Mr. Yu Qi, so I thought you were from Liyue."

"Liyue dialect? But I'm speaking Chinese..." There was a sudden pause in his words. Until this moment, Yu Qi suddenly realized that when he was communicating with Xiang Ling, he had been using an extremely unfamiliar language, which was somewhat similar to Chinese, but completely different.

It should be the 'Liyue language' that Xiangling said. No matter from which angle, it is impossible for Yu Qi, as a visitor from another world, to speak Liyue language!

But the reality is that he not only can speak it, but also speaks it fluently, almost as well as his native Chinese...

"What is this? A benefit of traveling through time? A 'language proficiency' that comes with traveling through time?"

Yu Qi smacked his lips and thought for a moment, unable to figure out the reason, so he had no choice but to accept the fact.

Xiang Ling didn't notice Yu Qi's strange behavior, but she frowned in embarrassment at this moment: "However, Mr. Yu Qi, if you are not from Liyue, this will be troublesome!"

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Can you tell me where your hometown is? If it's not far, I should be able to escort you back, Mr. Yu Qi. If it's too far..."

"Um, no, that's not necessary. I live in a very remote place, very far from Liyue. It would be too much trouble for you, Miss Xiangling, to send me back." Waving his hands repeatedly to interrupt Xiangling's words, Yu Qi said loudly: "Just escort me to Liyue Port. It happens that I have never been to Liyue before, so this time I will treat it as a trip.

Maybe I will stay in Liyue for a while."

"Well, that's fine." Feeling a little relieved, Xiangling smiled brightly again and said enthusiastically, "Then you must come to our Wanmin Hall, Mr. Yu Qi. I'll invite you to try my new dishes!"

"Haha, I'll be honored to refuse then." After laughing, Yu Qi decisively changed the subject: "By the way, this is my first time in Liyue, and I don't know much about the situation here. How about you introduce it to me, Miss Xiangling?"

“Okay!” Her eyes lit up, Xiangling sat up straight, thought for a moment, and then said, “Speaking of Liyue Harbor…”
