I'm a male god in Liyue

Rainbow wine remains popular; the small jars were already empty before 10 a.m.

At noon, Xia Zhi made the fried mushrooms that Da Ci Shu Wang had been longing for, with the same familiar recipe and taste.

It's delicious, everyone loves it.

Xia Zhi noticed that Ying'er's appetite had increased since she first arrived; she could now eat an extra bowl of rice.

Being able to eat is a blessing, that's great.

Xia Zhi even left a portion of fried mushrooms in the cupboard so that Yao Yao could have them as a snack when she came over.

"Big brother, tomorrow, November 2nd, is Xiangling's birthday."

"That's it."

Xia Zhi nodded, wondering how the girl was doing with her cultivation outside, and whether she had finished the bottle of rainbow fruit syrup. Fortunately, Guoba was still by her side, so she wouldn't feel too lonely...

When business opened in the afternoon, Xia Zhi still didn't see the two True Lords.

These two are unreliable; all they do is play cards all day, and now they don't even come to the store to support the business.

In comparison, Mr. Zhongli was much more considerate. If it weren't for the fact that Wangshengtang was busy with other matters, he would come to the shop every afternoon to sit for a while, have a plate of snacks, and keep track of the accounts.

That evening, my cousin ordered another braised chicken.

After dinner, instead of going for a walk, everyone played mahjong in the shop.

This is the last time I'll be reviewing before the exam.

The preliminary rounds of the Chess King Tournament will begin tomorrow in various teahouses in Liyue.

This has generated a lot of buzz, with discussions taking place all over the city; it's quite a spectacle.

If this is a good result, given the attitude of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that they will hold one every year in the future.

In the afternoon, Ms. Ningguang came for a massage.

She wore a floral dress today, and surprisingly, she had a somewhat delicate air about her.

Summer felt great.

That evening, Xia Zhi was massaging the Great Compassion Tree King when he suddenly thought of something.

"Cousin, where's the Rainbow Fruit I gave you last night?"

"I tried a little bit at my place, and it tasted pretty good. However, the vitality in the pulp is too great for ordinary people to eat. The best way is to dilute it into juice."

"Okay, set aside some fruit pulp. The store's juice is running out pretty quickly, so you can use it to replenish it later."

"it is good."

"How are those seven seedlings doing?"

"good."

"Let it grow slowly. Here's a bottle of essential oil for you. Pour a little on it each time you nurture it."

"Oh, speaking of which, what exactly do you add to your essential oil?"

"The essence of mystery."

"...Fine, don't tell me then."

"believe or not."

At night, the bell rang again.

On the other side, inside the Iwagami Tea House, in one of the rooms.

Ye Lan lay on the table, staring blankly at the wall covered with intelligence reports.

She drank tea on Sunday night, and now it's Tuesday night. Two days and two nights have passed, and she still isn't sleepy at all.

careless...

What kind of tea is this?!

That's so invigorating!

Ye Lan sighed helplessly.

Although she couldn't sleep, she didn't feel too tired mentally, and her mind remained very active.

In the past two days, she not only finished dealing with her usual large amount of intelligence work, but also dug out all the old case files that had been piling up. With her keen intuition, she found all sorts of clues and easily solved more than a dozen old cases, and arrested many criminals who thought they had escaped legal punishment and sent them to prison.

His subordinates had immense respect for their boss.

Even Ningguang heard about this and sent Baixiao over to inquire about it.

Although Ye Lan was a little embarrassed, she didn't hide anything and told Ning Guang directly that she had drunk too much tea.

Bai Xiao's expression was strange, and she wondered how Ning Guang would react after she told her about it.

Ye Lan stared blankly for a while, then sighed, sat up, picked up the case files on the table, and continued solving cases to pass the time.

The next morning, Xia Zhi asked his cousin to write the notice again.

"Just tell them that our store's employees are going to participate in the chess king competition and will have a day off today."

"I get a break every week."

"There's nothing I can do, things have to go on at the store."

"In the entire Feiyunpo area, I guess only our little shop is this capricious."

"Write faster, and write neatly."

"Okay, cousin, I want to eat ramen for breakfast."

"well."

After breakfast, everyone went to the preliminary round venue at Feiyunpo.

When registering, everyone was given their own number, and they were assigned to different teahouses to compete.

Zhu Zi and Diona seemed quite nervous, Ying'er and Chi Yu just thought it was fun, while Da Ci Shu Wang and Shen He were completely relaxed, since the reward for entering the finals was the ability to order food from the restaurant owner, and the two of them could order whatever they wanted every day.

Xia Zhi never expected to run into Mr. Zhongli at the entrance of the teahouse.

"Is Mr. Zhongli here to join the fun too?"

"I signed up too."

"Oh, I wish you victory. Wait, it seems you're at the same table as your cousin."

"..."

Chapter 292 What is this "feigned indifference"?

Inside the teahouse, at a table where one player is missing for a game of mahjong.

The Great Compassion Tree King sat in the west seat, her expression initially casual and indifferent. However, when she saw Zhongli walk in from outside and slowly approach her table, her expression gradually froze.

The Great Compassion Tree King watched him sit down and asked, "Are you number 1596?"

Zhongli calmly replied, "Yes."

"What a coincidence."

"From a purely rational point of view, it is indeed quite a coincidence."

"I'm telling you, you didn't secretly tamper with the lottery numbers, did you?"

"……No."

"Given your pride, I doubt you would do something so pointless. But it's more likely that Mondl would."

"Ah."

Do you want to win the championship?

"Whatever happens, happens."

"Tsk, I'm definitely going to win the championship."

"..."

The other two contestants sitting at the table, watching a cute little girl and a cool, aloof middle-aged man chatting animatedly, exchanged a glance and coughed: "Gentlemen, let's save our catching up for after the competition. Shall we start playing cards first?"

"Okay."

"it is good."

Outside, Xia Zhi stood on the steps, pretending to be quiet and lost in thought, but in reality, he was watching the Rock God and Grass God play cards with great interest from God's perspective.

On the surface, it seems that neither of the two gods cheated with their own abilities, but simply relied on luck and calculation to fight each other.

In terms of calculation, the Great Tree King has a clear advantage, after all, she has the bonus of [Innate Wisdom].

Xia Zhi knew that Morax actually possessed the ability of the "Rock King," and that the mahjong tiles used in this competition were made of rock, not wood.

Xia Zhi had also tried using this ability when he played cards. With his "Proficiency in Rock Insight", he could easily sense what the cards were face down.
