Chapter 431 The Xiaobeng family flows to the Pleiades
With Charlotte's praise, the traveler also accepted the commission.
But before investigating the Phantom Thieves, Charlotte still has a small job to complete.
The Mondstadt author who contributed to the Steambird newspaper had always been quite popular, so the newspaper decided to give him a bonus, and Charlotte brought it back along the way.
"So are we going to find the author now?"
Charlotte nodded and continued: "I already know where that teacher's home is. Let's just walk a short distance and take the bonus there. But... I thought you knew who I was talking about, that teacher The teacher should be an acquaintance of yours."
Paimon rubbed his chin. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in Mondstadt is acquainted with us.
On the way to find the author, Charlotte mentioned that the author had his own house in Mondstadt and should be a very wealthy man.
After walking for a short distance, the three of them arrived at the author's house.
Charlotte stepped forward and knocked on the door. Paimon recalled that he and the traveler rented this house to Mona.
The next second, a girl wearing very sexy clothes came out, and upon closer inspection, she turned out to be Mona.
"Who is it? What do you want from me?"
Mona glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Traveler and Paimon standing not far away. Then she looked at the girl in front of her and asked, "Traveler and Paimon, why are you here? This is..."
"You are Teacher Astorogis Mona Megistus, right? I have admired you for a long time. I am Charlotte, a reporter from Steambird Newspaper. I am here because your column has always been well received, and the newspaper has asked me to I will bring you a bonus, teacher."
[Mona: Wait, why do you say I am a Mondstadt reporter who contributes to Steambird Newspaper? Although I have lived in Mondstadt for a long time, I am a Fontaine native]
[Paimon: Yes, Mona came all the way to Mondstadt to find the heir of great knowledge, and we helped her find her house]
[Xiaogong: The heir to great knowledge? 】
[Keli: It’s just Keli, but my mother only taught me how to make popping bombs]
[Mona: Due to my busy schedule, I don’t have much money, so I live in Mondstadt. Sometimes Ms. Alice will come as a guest]
[Wendy: I want to ask, why does Mona never open the door when I knock on her door in the game? 】
[System: How should I put it? No matter how hard you knock on the door, it won’t open, because when setting up, there is no one in the house]
[Mona: Well...next time you send me bonuses, you can go through Komagaya, they are still very fast]
[Qi Liangliang: Remember to give a five-star review, meow! 】
...
"Miss Charlotte, right? Welcome, just call me Mona. It's really hard for you to come all the way from Fontaine."
Charlotte shook her head, just along the way.
Paimon sighed: "Wow, so the column written by Mona is so popular abroad?"
Mona said in surprise: "Huh? Didn't I say that? I have been contributing to the "Steambird News" column of "Constellation Talk", and the editor-in-chief had already greeted me in a letter before about the bonus. I I’m still wondering when it will arrive, thanks to Miss Charlotte.”
As a qualified reporter, Charlotte noticed something strange in Mona's tone and asked curiously: "Huh? From your tone, is Teacher Mona living in poverty?"
Mona was stunned for a while, then insisted: "Of course not! I just spent my living expenses to buy a set of expensive equipment in advance after I found out about the bonus!"
Charlotte chuckled: "The famous astrologer is hungry. Can astrology see the future clearly? This is a good news headline."
[Mona: Astrology also costs a lot of money, I just don’t have change]
[Nacida: Well, I agree with Miss Mona’s statement. There are also people researching related knowledge in the Order Academy, and the funds consumed are hard to estimate.]
[Leyla: In the small circle of Minglun scholars, Astorogis Mona Megisines is well-known for his astrology articles published in the "Steambird" newspaper. Those articles are very professional, but they can be liked by groups other than scholars. It is not easy to achieve this.]
[Nasida: The Minglun sect that Laila belongs to specializes in studying the stars, and Laila is also very capable]
[Leila: Thank you... Mr. Little Lucky Grass King for your compliments]
[Mona: Speaking of this, I also want to go to Xumi to study]
[Kaia: Are you sure you didn’t go there for funds? 】
[Mona: Didn’t Miss Lisa also come out of the Order Academy back then? I am also very capable, okay? I can share my knowledge]
[Paimon: But isn’t the starry sky in Teyvat false? What else is there to study? 】
[Mona: Paimon, you really don’t know how to chat, and it’s easy to chat to death]
[Paimon: Hey! 】
...
Paimon defended Mona: "Mona is actually very rich, but she usually spends a lot of money studying astrology."
After some pleasantries, Mona asked the traveler and Paimon what happened when they returned to Mondstadt.
Paimon told Mona about the card thief.
"By the way, didn't Teacher Mona go to the [Summon King Grand Prix]? I heard the prizes are quite generous."
Mona shook her head and explained: "I have been busy with research recently and have no time to participate in the competition. Besides, even if I participate, there is no guarantee that I will win the grand prize, right?"
Charlotte was a little surprised. She originally thought that she would definitely win as long as she used astrology to calculate the opponent's cards.
Mona sneered at this, how could the great astrology be used in such a place, and it was very unfair to the contestants.
Charlotte sighed: "Teacher Mona not only has high academic attainments, but is also an upright and noble person in life."
Mona nodded, she is such a person!
"It's up to you, don't get involved in another strange incident. That [Card Phantom Thief], do you want me to help you divine?"
Charlotte readily refused. Using astrology to solve the mystery would not be her own exclusive news. Journalists have their own solutions.
...
The three of them arrived at the Summoning King Competition.
Paimon and the traveler saw Kaia and were about to go up to say hello, while Charlotte looked around to collect useful clues.
"Hey, isn't this Traveler and Paimon? Long time no see. Did you come all the way to watch the finals between me and Timmy?" Kaia stepped forward and greeted them.
Paimeng said in surprise: "So Kaia, you made it to the finals? Well... doesn't the work of the Knights matter? I always feel like you are being lazy."
"Oh, look at what you said. I only came to participate in the competition after finishing my work. Drinking and playing cards, isn't this the best way to relax after work? Oh, don't let Diona say this. Hear it,” Kaia reminded.
Paimon: "Speaking of playing cards... Did Kaia see anyone suspicious during the recent competition? The kind of person who... uh, would steal other people's cards!"
Kaia shook his head, "I've never seen this before, at least not when I was competing. Why do you ask this?"
Paimon explained: "We just met this reporter from Fontaine."
Paimon pointed at Charlotte beside him, but Charlotte suddenly disappeared. Paimon turned around and saw that Charlotte was thinking about something in front of the fruit stand.
"The reporter from Fontaine...oh, the one from Steambird Newspaper, right? I read it in the visitor list of the Knights."
"That's right, it's her. She said she saw the card thief haunting the venue. We are investigating with her."
Kaia: "The card thief...well, it sounds really interesting. But, Paimon, are you sure this thief's purpose is cards?"
[Paimon: What else can the card thief steal if he doesn’t steal cards? 】
[Ying: Sano also likes playing cards. Do you think it could be him? 】
[Seno: Although I like playing cards very much, as a gale discipline officer, I don’t bother to do this kind of thing]
[Tinari: But you really like collecting card backs]
[Ying: I know! It's because you made the wrong choice! 】
[Xiaogong: Traveler, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a sentence? 】
[Keqing: The travelers are talking about the treasure stealing group, this is their mantra]
[Representative of the Treasure Thieving Group: You fart! We haven't been open for a long time! 】
[Yelan: Ah, the wonderful times must come to an end, it’s time to say goodbye! 】
[Paimon:? ? ? Yelan, are you joining in the fun? Isn’t this a line from Kafka? 】
[Ye Lan: I think this line is also very good. It suits me very well. Besides, our voices are exactly the same. What’s the difference?]
[Xingqiu: Captain Qi Bing, what do you think? 】
[Kaia: It’s time to come out...ahem, the travelers and I have the same idea, they like to do this kind of thing]
[Keli: Isn’t the most important thing now the match between brother Kaia and brother Timmy? 】
【Ding! May I ask who is the champion of Mondstadt between Kaia and Timmy】
【A.Kaia】
【B. Timmy】
[There is only one chance for this Q&A, please cherish this opportunity]
[Paimon: Kaia is the wise man of the Knights, he shouldn’t lose to Timmy]
[Ying: If Kaia loses, I will clear the pigeons from Mondstadt Bridge! 】
[Timmy: Are you the devil? ! ! 】
[Keli: Keli wants to choose Brother Kaiya, but Keli is afraid that everyone will be punished together]
[Miko Yae: Hmm... Children shouldn't be able to compare to adults, right? 】
[Paimon: That’s not necessarily true. What if the system dug a hole for you? 】
[Wendy: Ask online, Morax came to see me, what should I do? 】
[Wutao: Find a place to bury yourself! 】
[Wendy: I was going to find a place to hide, but the old man came to me]
[Qin: The God of Rock has come to Mondstadt? We will go out of the city to greet you]
[Zhongli: It’s okay, I’m visiting Mondstadt this time just to catch up with old friends]
[Wendy: The user you called has fallen asleep, please return to the original route]
[Kavi: I choose Kaiya@System]
[Elhaysen:? ? ? 】
[Nilu:? ? ? 】
[Tinari: What I was just about to say, turns out there is a candidate]
[Nasida: According to my judgment, the correct answer should be little Timmy]
[Kavi: Huh? Can I choose again? 】
[System: What are you thinking about? Just accept the punishment obediently】
[Tinari: As long as General Xeno doesn’t make jokes about it]
【Ding! Congratulations to Kawei for his wrong answer, and punishment for Kawei for performing the script "Baalzeb, I have become the God of Cooking!" ", invited guests: Nasida, Wanderer, Elhaysen, Balzebul, Zhongli...]
【Ding! As a joint punishment, Xumi’s academic progress will be 0 in one month]
[Lisa: Oops, there is no academic progress. This time, Sumeru’s vitality is seriously damaged]
[Paimon: No matter how you look at this script, it’s both Yinghe Cannon’s home ground]
[Ying: In fact, it is the cannon that is punished, Kawei is just incidentally]
[Kavi: It’s over, it’s over, I made the wrong choice. Elhaysen won’t put me in jail, right? 】
[Nasida: Since there is no academic progress in a month, why not just have a good time...Ahem, take a vacation, Kawei, you don’t need to blame yourself]
[Kavi: Thank you, Mr. Little Lucky Grass King]
[Wanderer: Hey, who wants to perform a script with that woman? The sight of her makes her sick]
[Shadow: Although I owe you something, you are not the reason why you can escape like this]
[Ye Shenzi: In other words, if I give you sunshine, you will shine, and if I give you some color, you will open a dyeing workshop, right? If you dare to say that today, tomorrow he will dare to usurp the throne and become the God of Thunder. Shadow, you can't spoil this kid]
[Paimon: Son of God, how much do you hate him]
【Ding! Please start your performance]
Inawa
Tenshukaku
The shadow was hovering in the air with a spatula in hand, and the evil light behind him opened his eyes, staring at Guobeng below.
"The day has finally come, Balzebul!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Bengjia, you can't beat me!" Ying looked at Guobeng with disdain. His cooking skills were recognized by Dao's wife.
"I am now a special chef who has received seven days of kitchen utensils." Xiao Bengjia showed the special ring on his arm.
Xiao Bengjia closed his eyes and thought: Mom, Master, I will definitely defeat the Dark Cooking King!
Time goes back to Sumeru.
"Mom, Mom! Don't close your eyes." Guobeng held Nasida's hand on the bed, which had not slept for several days, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Nasida said intermittently: "Abeng, I'm really sleepy. I'll leave it to you when I go downstairs."
After Nacida explained the matter, she fell into a deep sleep. The murderer who kept Nacida awake for several days was the great sage Alhaysen. Because he did not want to work, Nacida became mentally and physically haggard and stayed awake for several days and nights. Only then did this happen. status.
"Mother!"
The next second, Guobeng, who was calling his mother on the bed, was thrown out by a black shadow.
Kawei looked at Guobeng and said disdainfully: "You don't even have a Liyue professional chef qualification certificate, so you have no qualifications to inherit Jixiastairs!"
But is this really the case? I saw Kawei muttering in his heart: I'm sorry, Cannon, it was Alhaysen who forced me with the key.
"Don't look down on me. Mom's restaurant must belong to me!"
In order to improve his cooking skills, our protagonist Cannon set off from Xumi City all the way to Liyue in order to obtain the Liyue chef qualification certificate!
...
Ritsuki
After listening to Cannon's story, Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "So you are planning to ask me to help you find a chef to learn cooking skills?"
"Yes, I brought what you need most! Sorry to trouble you, Admiral Li!" After saying that, he handed Zhongli a large bag of mola as a letter of introduction.
"No, no, no, let's go!" Zhongli refused while opening his pockets with his hands.
After accepting the letter of introduction, Zhong Li said seriously: "Then, let's get to know your master. He is Liuliting..."
"Is he the rice cook from Liuliting?"
“The Xiangling of Wanmin Tang two streets next door…”
"He's a genius chef!"
"My father and my master..."
"Uh...even though it's a bit worse, it's still..."
"Cooker on the stove."
Hearing this, Da Pao suddenly became furious. He grabbed Zhongli's collar and asked, "Are you kidding me? I'll give you my money back!"
Zhongli did not take the cannon seriously and said seriously: "Boy, it is your honor to enter Bamen."
From then on, the Xiaobeng family became a disciple of Guoba and became a disciple of Bamen.
[In 2023, the first year of Teyvat, Liu Mao Pleiades, who worshiped under Bamen’s sect, had greatly improved his cooking skills after several months of training, and obtained the qualification certificate with full marks! So, I decided to bid farewell to the master and take Ji downstairs! 】
The Xiaobeng family hurried back to Xumi to participate in Ji Xia downstairs competition.
At the judges' table, the female traveler is sitting upright. On the left is the seat of the late former great sage Azar, and on the right is the seat of the acting great sage Alhaysen. It's just that one is dead and the other is fishing. rest.
"Oh, Liu Pleiades, I didn't expect you..."
Before Kawei finished speaking, Xiao Bengjia took out the Liyue Special Chef Certificate from his pocket and blocked Kawei's mouth.
"Next, please ask the judges to announce the test questions!"
“Today’s theme is [Egg Cuisine]”
"Then the game begins!" Paimon said, picking up the hammer and beating the gongs and drums, announcing the end of the game.
The traveler complained: "This is too fast!"
"Haha, I will definitely win!" Kawei held four colored eggs in his hand.
"Don't speak too early, my performance only begins now!" As he spoke, Xiao Bengjia dropped the Kuang Herb potion on the ground.
The next second, a green feathered fungus rose from the ground, shouting: "Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, you are so beautiful!"
Traveler and Paimon were shocked to see Chicken Brother appearing out of thin air.
"What, it's the Grass King Adachi Kiyoshi who can prepare fresh ingredients at any time!" Kawei looked at the chicken brother who was still laying eggs in disbelief.
"I lost!"
With Kawei admitting defeat, the referee handed the ownership of Ji downstairs to Xiao Bengjia.
"Ji Xia downstairs, I'm back!" Xiao Bengjia walked quickly towards Ji Xia downstairs.
Kawei on the side cried and said: "It's great, I can finally go home! Woohoo..."
Alhaysen comforted: "He must be able to understand our intentions."
As the camera zooms out, the figure of a white-haired boy appears.
"I'm quite interested in this man."
[Xiao Bengjia lives in the Pleiades, what kind of challenges will he face after taking Ji downstairs back? Generating electricity for love, decomposed in the next episode]
【Ding! Punishment ends]
[Paimon: Cannon’s voice has no skills at all, it’s all true feelings]
[Kaiya: You are proud enough to be able to worship the Kitchen God]
[Yan Fei: Guoba is Xiangling’s family, and Wanderer is Guoba’s apprentice. The relationship is very messy]
[Keli: Why is it suddenly gone? Keli wants to watch the next episode]
[Hutao: It turns out you are such a Zhongli. You say no, but your pockets are opened. You are full of human kindness and sophistication.]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: Are you going downstairs? What a strange name, it sounds like a homophonic sound]
[Kavi: Elhaysen actually absented himself from work in public! 】
[Elhaysen: I had no intention of taking over as the Great Sage]
[Ying: Kawei, why do you wear women’s clothes? Or are you... dressing like this to seduce Alhaysen? 】
[Kavi: This is a costume, I am a pure man! 】
[Ying: What’s wrong with liking women’s clothing? Goro often turns into Miss Hina]
[Ichito Arataki: Goro is Goro, Miss Hina is Miss Hina! 】
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, accept the truth]
[Miko Yae: The only part of the shadow scene is the opening scene, which is really not interesting at all]
【film:……】
[Keli: Brother Kaia actually lost to brother Timmy? 】
[Paimon: Kaia, have you let yourself go again?]
[Kaia: I don’t know either]
【Ding! Please tell me how many rounds Kaia lost to Timmy]
[A, 6 rounds]
[B, 5 rounds]
[C, 10 rounds]
[D, 1 round]
