I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 141

A master of spearmanship...

This is my third Grandmaster skill.

If I can get a light-elemental staff in the future, it should be considered a polearm, right? And spear skills should be considered a two-handed skill, right?

The [Martial God] buff deals +50% damage to all polearms, and the [Shadow Gloves] buffs two-handed skills by +100%. The combined damage increase seems terrifying.

It seems like I could pursue a battle mage path...

Chapter 136 What Business Prodigy?

Night falls, and I drift off to sleep.

Xia Zhi walked along the streets of Chihu Rock in his dream and came to Hanfeng Ironware next to the Adventurers' Guild.

This is a very famous old shop in Liyue. Although Xia Zhi has never bought anything there, he observed it from a god's-eye view when he went to the Adventurers' Guild. So, this shop is now manifested in his dream based on that memory.

The blacksmith shop was empty, with various forged iron tools displayed on the shelves.

There are farm tools, mining tools, cooking utensils, and weapons.

The most common weapon was the long spear.

Xia Zhi walked into the blacksmith's shop, picked up a long spear at random, and felt that it was slightly heavy.

Although he is already a master of spearmanship, he cannot unleash his full combat power if his physical fitness is not up to par.

Looks like I'll need to work on my stamina from now on.

Xia Zhi carried the spear to the outside of the shop, practiced a few sets of spear techniques, and then went to exchange for a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword to practice two sets of sword techniques. In the end, he felt that the spear was still more comfortable to use.

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun came out like a dragon.

Xia Zhi put the weapon back in the blacksmith shop. Looking at the long spears that made up more than half of the total ironware in the shop, he suddenly thought of the Thousand Rock Army soldiers he often saw on the street. Their standard weapon was the white-tasseled spear.

Shen He mentioned her past experience practicing spear techniques, Xiang Ling also mentioned that she used a long spear, and Yao Yao now practices spear techniques every morning. Furthermore, when Mr. Yun performs opera, his spear techniques are also very beautiful...

Therefore, it seems that the main weapon of Liyue is the spear.

This is probably because Morax liked to use long spears.

After experiencing the effects of the [Martial God], Xia Zhi left his dream and prepared to go to other dreams to collect extraordinary materials.

Before him were countless dream bubbles. Xia Zhi randomly chose one and was about to enter.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard that unfamiliar female voice again, the one he had heard before.

Distant and intermittent.

"...The world...forget...me..."

Xia Zhi stood still, his brows slightly furrowed.

He remembered hearing the words "world... heritage..." last time.

If she said the same thing this time as last time, then combining it with the words heard this time, it seems she said something like, "...the world has forgotten me..."

Lacking both a preface and a follow-up, Xia Zhi couldn't understand what the sentence actually meant.

"Where did this 'repeating girl' come from..."

Xia Zhi shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and entered the dream bubble.

The next day, the weather was even hotter than the previous days.

Plus, being by the sea, the air was sticky and humid, with a slight fishy smell, which made it hard to even eat.

However, Zhu Zi and Shen He are exceptions.

Xia Zhi looked at the two foodie girls in front of him who had eaten two more bowls of rice, and silently sighed in his heart that being able to eat was a blessing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's make some kimchi."

"what?"

"It's too hot, so eating something sour will whet your appetite."

"Oh! What ingredients do you need, boss? I'll go buy them tomorrow morning!"

"Radishes, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers..."

"I've memorized it all!"

"Ah."

Xia Zhi nodded and put down his chopsticks.

"Boss, are you only eating one bowl of rice?"

"Well, not very hungry."

"Oh……"

Xia Zhi got up and walked to the table, took out three clean cups, mixed three rainbow juices, went to the kitchen to get a clean chopstick, stuck it into his own juice, and then carried the cup back to the table and handed it to Shen He, who was eating attentively.

Shen He looked up at him and said softly, "Boss, I haven't finished eating yet, you can have a drink first..."

"No, put yours there, you can get them yourselves later. This one is mine, I just wanted you to help me freeze it."

"Oh."

Shen He took the cup from his hand, and the Ice-type Divine Eye he carried lit up.

"It's not chilled, it's frozen, frozen to the point of being like an ice block."

"Oh."

Shen He's ice-type divine eye lit up again.

"Boss, it's ready."

"Thank you."

Xia Zhi thanked him, took the cold glass, grabbed the chopstick that had been put in earlier, pulled a seven-colored popsicle out of the glass, and began to enjoy it.

Sure enough, you have to eat popsicles in hot weather.

Moreover, the rainbow juice changes its flavor depending on the ambient temperature, making it even more unique.

As Zhu Zi watched him eat, his eyes widened slightly involuntarily.

"Boss, is this delicious?"

"good."

After finishing their meal, the two girls followed suit and each ate an ice pop with relish.

"Delicious! Boss! I have an idea!"

"Ok?"

"I think we could add a frozen flavor to our store!"

"We can add more, but only when the weather is hot. Like popsicles and smoothies, it's not good for your health to eat them when the weather is cold. If customers want to eat them, we'll let them take them home and freeze them after the delivery is ready."

"That's right."

Zhu Zi looked regretful, but continued to eat the popsicle in small bites, feeling the cool and refreshing sensation, and even couldn't help but squint her eyes.

After a while, Yao Yao came over, and Zhu Zi immediately shared this new way of eating with the little girl.

Then the little girl happily ate a big popsicle.

It's so cute, like watching a panda munching on bamboo; it melts your heart.

It's so hot today that Xia Zhi wasn't planning on making any desserts or snacks, but after thinking about it carefully, she still feels she should make some.

He didn't care if he didn't eat enough at noon; his main concern was that the girl wouldn't feel disappointed.

What should I do?

Xia Zhi walked into the kitchen, "looked" at the few crisp cucumbers in the corner, and took out the [Eternal Spirit Blade].

A moment later, he came out carrying a plate of beautifully presented cucumbers.

This is a cold dish that focuses on showing off knife skills; as for the taste, it's actually not much different from cold cucumber salad or smashed cucumber.

However, in Xia Zhi's hands, it became a glowing dish.

Xia Zhi specially improved the sauce and added some [Melker Star Powder], making it a deluxe, high-end version.

The little girl took a bite of the sweet and sour flavor and really liked it.

The four of them sat and chatted for a while when Xingqiu suddenly came over.

"Mr. Xia, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you. Is now a convenient time?"

"Our shop is not open for business yet, Young Master Xingqiu, please speak freely. May I ask what kind of business you are in?"

"It's mahjong."

"Mahjong?"

"Yes, I played it at Mr. Xia's shop a few days ago and found it quite novel and interesting. After I got back, I don't know why, but I've been itching to play it again these past few days. However, Mr. Xia is busy with his shop and probably doesn't have the time. So, I asked a sculptor to make a set of mahjong tiles and played with a few friends a few times. They all found this new card game very interesting. I talked to my older brother and we think that mahjong has great potential in Liyue. So, we want to discuss copyright with Mr. Xia. After all, Mr. Xia is its founder, and according to Liyue's latest business law, he has the right to play it."

“I see. I have no objection to this. It’s a good thing to promote mahjong. As for the contract, I’ll go see Miss Yanfei tonight and talk to her about it, and ask her to handle it for me.”

"So good."
