I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Zhi smiled and thanked him.

Xiao remained expressionless and said softly, "No need to be polite."

His demeanor is actually somewhat similar to Zhongli's usual calm and collected temperament. It's hard to tell whether this is his natural personality or whether he has been influenced by Zhongli over time.

Although Xiao said that it's normal for friends to help each other, Xia Zhi still invited Xiao to have lunch with everyone.

The location was in a nearby restaurant.

Luckily, Longlong Pharmacy wasn't far away, and it was on the same street, so Xia Zhi called Noelle and asked her to come over for dinner.

Inside the shop, Noel looked up, glanced at Yura in her temporary uniform, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xia, may I invite Senior Yura along as well?"

"Is Miss Yura with you now?"

"Yes, Yura-senpai has been taking a break these past few days and has been working part-time at the pharmacy."

"Okay, come over here with me."

Noelle put down her phone and walked towards Yura: "Senior Yura, Mr. Xia and the others are having lunch at a restaurant over there, and they invited us to join them."

Yura hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, wait for me to change my clothes."

Although it was just an informal dinner with friends, and it wouldn't have mattered if she had just come in her temporary uniform, she still subconsciously maintained her elegant appearance because she had received aristocratic etiquette training since childhood.

Noelle had no intention of changing her clothes; she stood at the door in her formal attire, waiting.

The formal attire was custom-made for her by Xia Zhi at the best clothing store in Mondstadt. Several sets were ordered, and there was no difference between thin and thick versions; they were all the same thickness.

After all, Mondstadt is protected by the wind god, and its climate is warm all year round, so there is no need for these designs.

Noelle cherishes these clothes.

It wasn't just because the clothes were very expensive, but also because they were a gift from Mr. Xia.

Therefore, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her going to meet everyone dressed in such a formal suit.

A moment later, Yura, having changed out of her uniform, came out of the store.

"let's go."

"it is good."

The two people walked side by side along the street.

Yura has a very graceful walking posture.

Shoulders perfectly straight, chest extremely upright, waist extremely straight...

Perhaps because she practices swordsmanship, her steps have a serious and upright air like a soldier, but upon closer inspection, one can feel that her figure has a graceful and gentle beauty.

This is the result of her etiquette training from a young age.

Noelle's walking posture was also very proper.

This was a result of her training as a maid in the Knights of Favonius.

Two people walked past a shop.

Yura tilted her head and glanced at it, saying, "Is this the pet shop that Mr. Xia is going to open, which they're talking about in the group chat?"

Noelle nodded and said, "Yes."

Yura was somewhat confused: "Weren't Mr. Xia and the others here for tourism? Why did they suddenly think of opening a shop like this in Mondstadt?"

Noelle wasn't quite sure, and she didn't dare to speculate on God's thoughts. She only mentioned the message she saw in the group chat: "It seems Diona wants to take in stray cats..."

Yura said thoughtfully, "I see."

Opening a shop whenever you want is a bit too impulsive.

But they're rich, there's nothing to say about that. Last time, they spent so much money at a roadside stall to buy those ordinary stone carvings and grass wreaths...

Thinking about how she was still struggling to make ends meet and had to work part-time at someone else's shop during her vacation, Yura couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone greeted them with smiles.

Yura politely thanked her, saying that she was really embarrassed to be here again to freeload.

She hasn't reciprocated the meal she got from Chen Ge Hu last time, which is very inappropriate for a nobleman.

Xia Zhi smiled and said there was no need to be polite. He added that everyone would be setting up the mahjong table at the shop this afternoon, so they would have to make do outside for lunch and then get together properly at Chen Ge Hu in the evening.

Yura paused for a moment upon hearing this, and memories of the delicious food she had eaten during her last free meal immediately flooded her mind. She subconsciously swallowed.

Xia Zhi continued, "When Miss Yura gets off work in the afternoon, remember to come with Miss Noel."

Yura nodded and said, "Okay."

Anyway, I'll just mooch a few more meals.

After dinner, Noelle and Yura went back to work at the pharmacy.

Xiao said he was free, so we went to the pet store together to help with the setup.

Diona took out all the goods from the spatial ring.

Besides the mahjong table, there were many other unrelated items, such as lipsticks, perfumes, and other cosmetics, which Ningguang sent as gifts for Qin and Lisa.

It's clear that Ningguang is having a great time chatting online with these new friends. Her conversations with Qin aren't just about work; they also include small items that girls use.

However, based on Xia Zhi's understanding of Ningguang, her act of giving this gift, besides wanting to enhance her relationship with Qin and others, probably also harbored some intention to open up the high-end cosmetics market in Mondstadt.

Everyone happily shared the gifts.

It took another two hours to set up the mahjong table and everything else.

There's only one last thing left before the official opening.

Looking for a cat.

Because stray cats can't read, they won't come to your door asking for shelter on their own; you still need to go outside to find and catch them.

If it's a cat that was recently abandoned, it's fine; they tend to be docile and easy to get along with.

If they are stray cats that have been out of the wild for a long time, they need to be trained even if you bring them back to the store, otherwise they are too likely to hurt people and you can't let them come out to entertain customers.

Mondstadt is a large city, and finding a cat is not an easy task.

The simplest solution, of course, was to ask the Knights of Favonius patrolling the streets for help.

But they all have official positions, and it's impossible to ask them to do such trivial tasks.

Last time, Xia Zhi told them to keep an eye out for cats if they saw any, but she didn't tell them to specifically look for and catch cats.

Of course, if Xia Zhi were to send a few bottles of wine and have Wendy go talk to Qin about it, Qin might be willing to cooperate.

After all, this was the Wind God's request.

However, there's no need to bother official agencies with this kind of thing.

It's more appropriate to post the quest through the Adventurers' Guild.

All you need is a little Mora, and this problem can be solved perfectly.

Xia Zhigang said he was going to the Adventurers' Guild to post a commission.

Fischl offered to help by saying she was an investigator from the Adventurers' Guild.

Xiao glanced at the girl wearing an eye patch.

The Adventurers' Guild is a bit far from here; it should be faster to go there on your own.

But after thinking about it, he silently swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you to make that trip."

He took out a card from the Northern Bank and handed it to Fischl, casually telling her the PIN.

Like the Northern Bank, the Adventurers' Guild is backed by Winter, so Northern Bank cards can also be used directly at the Adventurers' Guild.

Xia Zhi's upcoming project, "Stray Cats," is a long-term project, tentatively targeting 100 stray cats, and will require a significant amount of Mora as payment.

In this situation, it's naturally more convenient to use a bank card than to carry cash.

Fischl took the bank card, grabbed Oz, and ran off into the distance.

Her physical condition is much better than before, and she is no longer as breathless as she was when she was chased by the Hilichurl King in the wild.

However, after running for a while, she also felt her legs getting tired.

Fischl slowed his pace, looked up at Oz in the sky, and felt a little regretful.

It's daytime now, so it's not convenient to transform into a magical girl, otherwise...

A few minutes later, she finally arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

A girl wearing a headband, with bangs, and a white and green dress is standing behind the bar as a receptionist.

"Towards the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild... Huh? Fischl?" Catherine seemed a little surprised.

"Um...it's me..." Fischl's face was still a little red, and she was slightly out of breath, a result of her recent journey.

"You've finally arrived."

"what happened?"

Catherine looked at her and smiled: "Didn't you accept the association's bounty mission a couple of days ago? The association's investigators have already sent back the results."
