I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 652

The girls felt the prize wasn't very appealing.

Firstly, regarding Mora, apart from Mona being a little short of money to buy astrology items, the others don't seem to have any need for money at all.

The main job is to work alongside the boss, with meals and accommodation provided.

As for the badges for flying champions, they're not as nice as the stones the boss casually carved.

Xia Ci looked at Xia Zhi and said, "Cousin, how about you add some extra prizes for the champion, just like you did for the mahjong tournament in Liyue before?"

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, how about this: whoever wins the Wind Flower Festival competition this time will receive a treasure chest?"

"Treasure chest?"

"It's like the year-end bonus treasure chest I give you during the Chinese New Year."

"!"

Charlotte's eyes lit up.

Please, that's a treasure chest that can open up to reveal a super long-range telescope!

Although I'm not very lucky, I can ask Miss Gan Yu to open it for me. With Miss Gan Yu's incredible luck, it can come whenever she wants!

When the time comes, I'll attach the telescope to my camera and then I'll be able to take pictures of Lady Frinna in Mondstadt!

Stop talking!

I will definitely win this flying championship!

Chapter 445 Meeting an Old Friend (Mondstadt Version, 4K)

It wasn't just Charlotte who got excited.

The other girls also showed great interest in what Xia Zhi said.

Because Xia Zhi wasn't referring to the flying competition, but rather to "the competition at this Wind and Flower Festival."

This means that during the Flower Festival, winning other competitions will also earn you a magical treasure chest.

For example, an archery competition.

Diona uses a bow and arrow as her weapon. She has been hunting in the mountains with her father since she was a child. With the added advantage of the ancient bloodline of the [Katezrin family], her archery skills are very accurate, and she has a good chance of winning the archery competition.

Then there's Gan Yu, who also uses a bow and arrow as a weapon. Although she hasn't seriously drawn a bow in a long time, with her current Platinum level of skill, participating in this kind of competition would be nothing short of bullying.

There are also poetry competitions, musical instrument competitions, singing competitions, drinking competitions...

There are even eating contests, which even Guoba and Xia Lin can participate in.

The girls couldn't help but start discussing it enthusiastically.

Xia Zhi smiled, took Xia Lin's hand, and walked slowly along the long corridor of the square. Before long, they arrived at the left steps where they had come from.

"Boss, are we going down?"

"Well, we're staying at the Church of the West now, and we pass through this big square every day, so there's no need to explore it much. Let's go down and stroll around the streets of Mondstadt instead."

"it is good!"

As they descended the steps, passing the intersection where the Knights of Favonius were located, a young stranger walked straight toward them, smiling and waving as he greeted them: "Good morning, everyone."

The young man had dark skin, short indigo hair with a strand of silver mixed in, a long tuft of hair hanging down the left side of his head, two tufts of hair of different lengths on the top of his head, and a blue teardrop-shaped pendant hanging from his left ear.

What's particularly striking about him are his eyes. He wears a black eye patch over his right eye, while his left eye is bright, with a gray-blue, four-pointed star-shaped pupil that makes his eyes look exceptionally deep.

He wore a white shirt that exposed his chest and a blue coat, with a long blue and white cloak with white fur at the collar. He wore black trousers and boots, and both hands were adorned with conical bracelets and black fingerless gloves. A God's Eye of Ice hung from his brown belt.

From Xia Zhi's omniscient perspective, this unfamiliar young man had a golden progress bar on him: Progress [0%].

The girls found this overly friendly stranger a bit odd; only Xiangling and Diona recognized the young man.

Xiangling waved happily: "It's Captain Kaiya! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Xiangling, and Guoba too. Everyone in the Knights misses your cooking."

After exchanging a few words with Xiangling about the past, Kaiya turned his gaze to Xia Zhi.

Although the leader of the troupe hadn't told him much about Xia Zhi before, based on Kaiya's brief observation over the past few minutes, he had already realized that among this group of people, the man wearing sunglasses was the absolute key figure.

Everyone unconsciously surrounded him, walking in the direction he was going, and always asking him questions first...

Therefore, even though Xia Zhi was not wearing the Eye of God, Kaeya still regarded him as a direct communication partner and gave a knightly salute: "Distinguished guests from Liyue, I am Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius. I have come to make contact with you on the orders of Commander Jean."

Xia Zhi asked with a smile, "Captain Kaiya, I wonder if the 'liaison' you mentioned... refers to borrowing books from the library?"

Kaiya shook his head: "It's not about borrowing books from the library. You're all new here, and traveling in this foreign land, you're bound to encounter some problems. I'm here to help you solve these problems."

Xia Ci smiled with a hint of amusement: "I see, Director Qin is really thoughtful."

When Kaeya met Xia Ci's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense that the other person had seen through his heart. He subtly looked away and said, "During the Windflower Festival, I will be in charge of security in Mondstadt. If you encounter any problems while you are enjoying the festival, please notify the nearest Knight of Favonius, and I will come to deal with it as soon as possible."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Captain Kaiya from now on."

"No need to be so polite, everyone. I have other duties to attend to, so please excuse me."

"Captain Kaiya, take care."

Kaiya turned and left.

Xia Zhi looked at the golden progress bar on Kaiya from God's perspective and pondered something.

Upon arriving in Mondstadt, he had already encountered three people with golden progress bars.

Based on his experience farming treasure chests in Liyue, everyone with a gold progress bar is either exceptionally strong or possesses a special constitution.

The first one is Klee. Xia Ci told him that the little girl is an immortal being.

The second is Jean. According to Amber, this acting captain has excellent swordsmanship and is also of the bloodline of the Gunnhildr family, one of the three great families of Mondstadt.

The third one is Kaeya, whom I just met, but he is only a cavalry captain.

Either he's hiding his true strength, or he's concealing some kind of bloodline or physique...

It's actually quite simple to find out about this kind of thing.

Xia Zhi, from God's perspective, chose Kaiya's figure.

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"

"Yes."

"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [Kanria Bloodline] from the target."

"【Kanria Bloodline】: Passive. This bloodline is cursed by the laws of this world, making it immortal and ageless, but the 【wear and tear】 it suffers is doubled."

Xia Zhi looked at the skill descriptions on the system panel, his expression slightly different.

Unexpectedly, this Mondstadt cavalry captain was actually a Kanriyan.

Kaeya... Kanria...

His name also appears to be a shortened version of the pronunciation of Canria.

Five hundred years ago, a cataclysmic event occurred in Kanria. The seven gods went to deal with it, and five of them perished in the process.

Xia Zhi was actually very curious about this major event that had happened in the past, but unfortunately his older and younger cousins ​​seemed to be restricted in some way and were unable to tell him the answer that interested him.

However, he could also glean some interesting information from the skill description of Kaeya's [Kanria Bloodline]:

Immortality may seem like a wonderful blessing, but for the fragile mental strength of mortals, it is actually the most vicious curse.

Xia Zhi deeply understood this, because he had seen in Fu Ningna's corridor of fate the wear and tear she had endured over five hundred years, a state of mental collapse that was imminent.

The Kanriyans, compared to Frinna, suffer twice the "wear and tear" due to this curse...

Xia Zhi didn't believe that many Kanria people could possess the same tenacious will and temperament as Funina.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the Kanreia people must have done something taboo, crossing a red line set by the laws of nature that could never be crossed, which is why the laws of nature have unleashed such a devastating curse upon the entire Kanreia people...

For Xia Zhi, this passive skill is of no use.

Therefore, he chose to disable the passive skill directly.

Everyone continued shopping.

Because of the Feng Hua Festival, many more stalls and vendors appeared on every street.

Some of them are traveling merchants from other countries, selling mostly exotic foreign items, such as toys from Liyue and glasses from Fontainebleau...

Some of them were locals from the area around Mondstadt, selling mostly local delicacies and wild game, such as mushrooms, venison, smoked sausages, and grilled fish...

In the past, everyone would go out shopping every night in Liyue. Although Mondstadt is a big city, it is still not as bustling as Liyue, a commercial city. So, while the atmosphere was lively, it didn't feel very novel.

Indeed, it's only really fun during the actual holidays.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the Cat Tail Tavern?"

Ying'er asked curiously, "Why does the boss want to go there?"

Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Because Diona probably really wants to go back to the place where she used to work."

Diona immediately widened her eyes like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and protested, "I didn't! I didn't! Boss, don't talk nonsense!"

Even a haughty cat is still cute.
