Ten minutes later, the host began announcing the program.
"Welcome everyone to the finals of the first Liyue Chess King Tournament. I'm here as the notary and host for this tournament, invited by the Feiyun Merchant Guild..."
"The format of this final is very simple. The final settlement will not take place until one player's chips are all gone. The player with the most chips will be the chess king of this competition."
"Now, let me introduce the four finalists."
"From the Port District—Liyue's most outstanding lawyer, Miss Yanfei, who has never lost a case!"
"Miss Yelan, the owner of Yanshang Tea House from the Chihuyan competition area, who could accurately roll a 66 every time she rolled the dice during the preliminary rounds!"
"From the Yujingtai Division—during the preliminary rounds, Ms. Gan Yu was a lucky star who always won big hands!"
"And, from the Feiyunpo division—Xia Ci, the youngest contestant in this competition!"
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the shop turned somewhat strange as they watched the four familiar figures walk out.
They are all acquaintances.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Want to guess who will win the championship?"
Zhu Zi glanced at it and said with certainty, "Miss Gan Yu!"
Akabane nodded, "I also think it's Miss Gan Yu!"
They recalled the fear of being dominated by the auspicious rain, and the sense of powerlessness they felt was truly unforgettable.
Passersby overheard the discussion and expressed their disagreement, saying, "I don't think players who rely on luck will go far."
"..."
You know nothing about truly lucky players.
Shen He looked at his senior sister and said, "It seems that you haven't revealed your identity as the secretary of the Seven Stars of Yuehai Pavilion."
"Miss Gan Yu is probably afraid of causing trouble."
"boss."
"Ok?"
“Miss Yelan, she doesn’t seem to be in good condition.”
"is it?"
"Yes, I noticed that too. She looked very tired, especially around her eyes, with very dark circles."
"She already has a lot of work, and in order to find time to participate in the competition today, she must have worked overtime hard last night."
"Makes sense!"
On the stage, Ye Lan glanced at Xia Zhi standing below.
I can't take it anymore, I really can't hold on any longer, I haven't slept for days!
After the finals, I must go to Mr. Xia and ask if there's a solution for drinking too much tea.

"Hu, all the same."
"..."
"Hu, the Eighteen Arhats."
"..."
"Hu, Xiao Sixi."
"..."
Not only were the other three people at the card table silent, but even the spectators in the arena were speechless.
This was a complete massacre.
The host coughed and said, "Since the other three contestants have all run out of chips, I hereby announce that the champion of this Liyue Chess King Tournament is—Ms. Gan Yu from the Yujingtai region! Let's congratulate her on winning the 10 million Mora prize!"
Upon hearing about the huge prize money, the audience erupted in deafening cheers.
Gan Yu stood up, politely thanked everyone, and then accepted a bank card from the host.
This is a anonymous card from the Northern Bank, which anyone can use. The prize money for this competition is stored in it.
Ten million Mora.
Gan Yu thought to herself silently.
I'll have enough for massage fees for the next thirty years.
The match ended, and the audience gradually dispersed.
The four contestants all came to Xia Zhi and the others at the same time.
"Congratulations to my senior sister on winning the championship."
"Thank you."
"I knew Miss Gan Yu would win!"
"I was just lucky."
"Luck is also a kind of strength!"
"What a pity, if Miss Xia Ci had won, she could have ordered food for a whole month."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "The same goes for Miss Gan Yu. The reward I gave you is still valid. For the next month, Miss Gan Yu can also come to the restaurant to order food."
"Really? But I'm so busy with work that I can't come to the restaurant every day. How about I give this reward to my junior sister?"
"Sister..."
Ying'er clicked her tongue: "Wow, what a deep bond between masters and disciples!"
Xia Zhi paused slightly, then nodded and smiled: "Alright, then for the next month, Shen He will be in charge of ordering food at the restaurant. You'll have to make sure you please Shen He when you want to eat something."
"right!"
The girls realized that Shen He had a great personality; if they told her what they wanted to eat, she would definitely agree, just like they would order food themselves!
"Miss Yanfei, Miss Yelan, are you alright?"
Yan Fei smiled and said, "It's alright."
Ye Lan sighed softly, "I'm completely convinced... When I first heard about the competition format, I thought it would be a long battle, but I didn't expect it to end so quickly."
"Miss Yelan sounds a little tired? Have you not rested well these past two days?"
Xia Zhi asked, and now that they were closer, he could see from his omniscient perspective that Ye Lan's mental state was not very good.
Especially her dark circles under her eyes, they looked very heavy, as if she hadn't slept for days.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan fell silent for a moment, then glanced at Xia Zhi, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Yes, I haven't had much rest."
"Is it because you're too tired from work? Ningguang is too..."
"No, it's because of you, Mr. Xia."
"what?"
"Didn't Mr. Xia give me a box of tea last time?"
"Could it be because of that...?"
"Yes, I accidentally drank too much."
"...When you say 'drank too much,' how much exactly do you mean?"
"I only grabbed a small handful."
"A small handful?"
"It's the same amount I use when I normally brew tea."
How many pieces?
"Probably twenty or thirty pieces."
"...Normally, people wouldn't use twenty or thirty tea leaves to brew tea, right?"
"I usually have things to do, especially at night, and I need to stay alert, so I like to drink strong tea."
"alright, I got it."
Xia Zhi reached up and rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat helpless.
"So, you really haven't slept for days, right?"
"I haven't slept since I got back that day."
"It's amazing you've managed to hold on until now. You should have come to me sooner."
"Mr. Xia, do you have a solution?"
