I'm a male god in Liyue

"It fits well (yes), how about yours?"

"It fits perfectly. Miss Gan Yu has excellent taste; the clothes she bought are very beautiful."

"Yes."

"She doesn't seem like the kind of important person I imagined at all."

"So what kind of important figures are on your Inazuma side?"

"I've never seen them up close. Sometimes I see them walking on the street, accompanied by some samurai with swords. They look very fierce."

"Is the security situation bad?"

"I heard it's a bit chaotic in the countryside, but it's alright in the city."

"Are there any fun holidays in Inazuma?"

"There's a summer festival! It's very lively, and they set off fireworks at night. There's a fireworks shop in town called 'Naganohara Fireworks Shop,' and I remember their fireworks are especially beautiful!..."

Zhu Zi enthusiastically recounted the interesting stories that happened to her every year when she visited the summer festival, which piqued Xia Zhi's interest.

Unfortunately, Inazuma is currently in a "closed-door" state and does not welcome outsiders.

Once the "lockdown order" is lifted, I can go to Inazuma for a trip and witness the grand summer festival.

After playing mahjong for two hours, the tea eggs were almost ready. When they were taken out, they already had tempting tea-colored patterns on them.

"Mmm...delicious!"

"After all, it uses the finest tea leaves from Qiaoying Manor. The price of the tea leaves and spices alone is enough to buy a lot of eggs."

"Boss, can this braising liquid be used to braise other things?"

"of course can."

"Then we can braise something else, so as not to waste it."

"Let me think, let's make braised pork rice for dinner tonight. We'll stew it until it's very tender, so tender it melts in your mouth, and serve it with a side of sour and crunchy pickled vegetables to cut through the richness."

"!"

"In that case, we can start preparing the stew now. Let it simmer slowly in the pot until it's ready to eat tonight."

"I'll go start the fire!"

Meanwhile, a new notice was posted on bulletin boards throughout Liyue City by the Thousand Rock Army, with people shouting loudly nearby:

"Lady Ningguang is preparing to rebuild the Jade Pavilion! She urgently needs a large number of workers and materials! The location is the abandoned mine outside the Golden House! Those interested can go directly there! Food and lodging provided! Excellent benefits!"

"Furthermore, Lady Ningguang is offering a high price for the Mingxia Floating Life Stone and the Thousand Wonders Core! The first person to find them will also have the opportunity to ask Lady Ningguang a question!"

An uproar erupted in Liyue City.

Chapter 147 Finally, I saw what the rich woman looked like.

An incredibly tempting aroma of braised meat wafted out of the kitchen.

It makes it impossible to concentrate on playing mahjong.

It's almost lunchtime.

"It's time to cook rice."

"I go!"

Zhu Zi couldn't wait and ran into the kitchen.

Shen He then stood up and carefully helped to put away the mahjong tiles on the table.

Xia Zhi picked up his teacup, drank the tea, and used the cooled [Stealing Technique] on Shen He.

"Successfully used [Stealing Skill] and learned the skill [Innate Strength] from the target."

"【Innate Super Strength】: Passive, Strength +100 points."

Xia Zhi felt a tremendous force suddenly surge through his body.

At the same time, a "crack!" sound rang out, and the teacup in his hand was accidentally crushed into pieces by his gentle grip.

A sharp piece of porcelain cut his palm, and a stinging sensation came through.

But the next moment, that painful sensation that made you wince was replaced by a soft feeling.

Shen He was holding his hand, and a rare look of panic and helplessness appeared on his usually cool and refined face.

"Boss, you're injured."

"It's fine."

"There was a lot of blood."

"It's just a minor injury."

"I have some medicine in my room, I'll go get it right now!"

"Need not."

A white light suddenly appeared on Xia Zhi's hand.

[Healing Techniques].

A moment later, there was no trace of wound on his palm, and his skin was completely healed.

"Look, it's all healed now."

Shen He was so stunned that he forgot to let go of his hands.

"All right?"

"Don't you know I have healing abilities? Didn't your master tell you about me?"

"No... Master just said that you saved her, and then she asked me to come to Liyue to find you..."

"Oh, I see. You have no idea how badly your master fell. She was covered in dust and couldn't even stand up. I used that ability to heal her for a long time..."

"Well, it's good that Master met you, Boss."

"Haha, I guess we're destined to meet. Go get a wet towel and wipe the bloodstains off for me. Don't let them get on the new clothes Miss Gan Yu gave me, they'll be hard to wash off. I'll also need your help to clean up the broken pieces of porcelain later."

"Ok."

Shen He then released Xia Zhi's hand and got up to get a wet towel.

Xia Zhi gently clenched his hands, feeling that he was still not quite used to using this suddenly much stronger power.

So he temporarily turned off the [Innate Super Strength] skill.

A moment later, Shen He took the wet towel, bent down in front of him, took his hand and carefully wiped the blood off his hand, and then wiped the bloodstains that had dripped onto the table.

After wiping, she squatted down and picked up the tiny pieces of porcelain one by one.

At this moment, Zhu Zi came out of the kitchen.

"Boss, I've rinsed the rice and it's already cooking."

"Ah."

"Huh? Miss Shen He, how did the cup break?"

"I just accidentally dropped it on the ground and it broke."

"Oh! Boss, be careful! Don't hurt yourself!"

"I'll be more careful next time... Zhu Zi, you didn't cook extra rice again, were you planning to save it for golden fried rice tomorrow morning?"

"I'm not him, I don't have a boss, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Zi's face immediately turned red.

"I only cooked a little extra! I was afraid it wouldn't be enough! I didn't intentionally cook extra! Really!"

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, accepting the reason for the time being.

Wait until the rice is cooked.

Each person is served a large bowl of steaming white rice, topped with a large spoonful of tender and juicy braised pork, and then drizzled with a spoonful of savory and thick broth. Add some chopped kimchi and mix it all together. It's incredibly satisfying to eat like this.

Nighttime, in a room on the second floor of the small shop.

Xia Zhi restarted the new skill he had "stolen" from Shen He that afternoon, and took some time to get used to it.

He then stood in front of the bed, bent down, stretched out his hands to grasp the bed frame, and with a slight upward force, easily lifted the entire bed.

[Innate Super Strength]: Passive, Strength +100 points.

This skill's effect is really simple and straightforward.

In the system's classification, a normal adult male has a strength attribute of 80-90 points.

A score above 90 is considered strong, above 100 is a world record holder, and beyond that is superhuman. The growth curve of the main attribute is not linear.

Xia Zhi's Strength attribute is 85 points.
