I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 610

Xia Zhi smiled and was about to reply to her.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed a faint, somewhat familiar fluctuation coming from outside the car.

That was a fluctuation of some kind of water elemental power... It seemed to be the aura of a powerful aquatic creature...

Although Xia Zhi had already given the [Tears of the Goddess] to Funina, he had long since comprehended the rules of water and the heart of water, so he was very perceptive of this kind of water-based fluctuation.

He discerned it briefly and sensed that this aura was somewhat similar to that of Fukaros...

However, his detection range was limited, and he had no way of seeing the source of this unusual aura from God's perspective.

Xia Zhi walked to the car window, took out a small mirror, and looked at himself with it.

Below the hovercar was a clear lake.

The lake water is deep and secluded, and its depth is unknown.

But in Xia Zhi's perception, the source of that unusual aura was in this lake.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror, his expression thoughtful.

A powerful aquatic creature... with an aura somewhat similar to Fucaros... putting those connections together, the answer isn't hard to guess...

Could it be that a pure water spirit dwells in this lake?

Xia Zhi had seen Funina's fate and knew that after Ergolia's fall, the water quality of Fontaine changed for some reason, becoming unsuitable for pure water elves to live in. As a result, a large number of pure water elves fled Fontaine and went to live in various parts of the continent.

Therefore, it wouldn't be strange if a pure water spirit were truly hiding in this lake.

It's probably a platinum treasure chest.

Make a note of this.

Because Xia Zhi hadn't replied to her messages, Fu Ningna was a little confused and slowly typed a "?".

[Cousin's Cream Puff]: Cousin, where are you?

Xia Zhi put away the small mirror and replied to her.

[Xia Zhi]: I'm here. Sorry, I just sensed something unexpected and got a little distracted.

[My Cousin's Cream Puffs]: What does it smell like? (Curious.jpg)

[Xia Zhi]: The car just flew over a large lake, and I seemed to sense the presence of a pure water spirit in the lake.

My cousin's cream puffs: !

……

The hovercar sped across the lake at an extremely high speed.

After a while, a pair of somewhat confused, illusory eyes suddenly appeared in the lake, looking at the shadow of the hovercar that was about to disappear on the horizon.

"I think I just... sensed the presence of the water god?"

night.

Everyone went to the internet cafe in the dream to play games again.

Compared to a few days ago, there is a new person – Zhong Li.

He looked at the computer and mouse, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "How do I use this?"

Xia Zhi explained it to him and also asked the vice principal about the school's recent situation.

Zhongli answered Xia Zhi while familiarizing himself with the controls.

"What does Mr. Zhongli think?"

"From the perspective of general reason, this thing is indeed very ingenious."

The Dragon King was already urging: "Morax, have you learned it yet? If you have, come and play!"

Zhongli nodded: "I already know how to do it, but I don't know how to open the game?"

"Look at this icon, just click on it."

"I see."

"This game is a two-player battle, with five players on each side."

"There are eleven of us here, plus those two friends who haven't shown up yet, that makes three more people."

"It's alright, Shen He, Gan Yu and I won't play, the ten of you can play together."

"This……"

"We need to go outside and collect some dream materials."

The Dragon King shouted again: "Liu Yun, why don't you go to the other side tonight? I told you I was going to bring Morax!"

Liu Yun silently switched sides: "Okay..."

Then, the game began.

Xia Zhi didn't stay any longer and left the internet cafe with Shen He and Gan Yu.

After all, nothing beats having a girlfriend in a game.

We arrived at Shimen around noon the next day.

This is the border between Liyue and Mondstadt, and the only trade route passes through this area, making it very lively.

There are many hostels and teahouses along the roadside, creating a unique scene.

The hovercar landed, and everyone got out.

Just like at Wangshu Inn, you should definitely try these unique sights along the way.

The group first strolled through the market and then had tea at a tea stall.

The tea is very cheap; it's the kind of ordinary, light tea, meant for travelers to stop and quench their thirst.

The tea stall also offers some fried snacks—fried lotus root slices and fried lotus leaves.

Xia Zhi sniffed the shopkeeper out of curiosity and then learned the reason.

The area around Stone Gate has many bodies of water, and because of its proximity to Mondstadt and the blessing of the wind god, it enjoys a warm climate year-round, so various aquatic plants grow in the water all year round.

Among them, lotus root is the best.

Whether it's due to water quality or climate, the lotus roots from Shimen are exceptionally white, tender, and crisp. They are sweet and delicious even when eaten raw, and when coated with starch and fried, they become even more fragrant and tempting, making them very popular with tourists. As a result, lotus root has gradually become a specialty food of Shimen.

Xia Zhi ordered two portions, which were freshly fried by the shop owner.

When it was served, the aroma was irresistible.

After tasting it, everyone felt that the flavor was indeed quite novel and different from the lotus root they had eaten before, but they didn't think it was so delicious that they needed to praise it.

After all, their palates have long been spoiled.

After paying and leaving, the shopkeeper looked at the plates on the table, feeling somewhat puzzled and doubtful.

Having run a tea stall for so many years, it's rare to encounter a customer who doesn't praise their own snacks.

Could it be that the food wasn't fried properly by the kitchen today, leaving the customers somewhat dissatisfied?

……

I spent a day exploring Shimen.

The next day, everyone decided to walk across the border between the two countries.

We walked along the trade route.

Enjoy the scenery, take some photos, and encounter quite a few car convoys and travelers.

We arrived at the boundary marker.

Everyone rested on the grass nearby, and could feel a warm breeze blowing from the east, gently and comfortably caressing their faces.

This is the wind from Mondstadt.

Unlike the girls, in addition to the warmth, Xia Zhi, Xia Ci, and Xia Zhen also sensed a faint trace of wind-elemental divine power in the breeze.

Seeing that Xia Zhi looked thoughtful.

Xia Ci leaned closer and whispered to him, "This is the power of Barbatos. Originally, Mondstadt was just a cold and bitter land. It was Barbatos who summoned the winds that made Mondstadt's terrible climate like this."

For the gods, changing the weather and the terrain is not a difficult task.

Lonely Cloud Pavilion in Liyue was created by the rock spears that Morax threw in the past.

Inazuma also possesses the Musou-no-Kage Hazama, which can be cleaved open by Raijin's sword.

However, that terrain was only altered by the temporary power of the gods, unlike Mondstadt where there is a warm wind all year round.

It's easy to feel the wind for a day, and it's not difficult to feel the wind for a year, but it's a bit absurd that Mondstadt has been exposed to such a warm wind for thousands of years.

This approach would undoubtedly require an enormous amount of divine power...

Xia Zhi suddenly recalled the battle scene he had seen in Du Lin's dream:
