Chapter 87 Return to Hong Kong
After eating and drinking their fill, the two men did not stay for long, but chose to continue on their journey.
Gu Sanqiu yawned and sat listlessly in the elevator going to the upper floor of the inn. Zhongli, who was standing beside him, folded his hands and looked at the scenery of Dihuazhou calmly.
"I say, Brother Zhongli, don't you feel tired? The sanitary conditions here at Wangshu Inn are quite good. At least there must be no dirt on the elevator."
“For me, this is already a state of relaxation.”
Zhongli did not look back: "Besides, this time the operation was mainly carried out by Brother Gu, I was not too tired."
Gu Sanqiu scratched his cheek with his index finger. If this guy wasn't really the Rock King, he would have admitted what he said just now without any shame.
In the end, it was Zhongli who saved him from being hit by Tuozige's dragon chariot, and it was also him who dealt with the evil thoughts. His role was just to attract hatred and delay time , which seemed to be no different from that of an ordinary cannon fodder.
"Brother Zhongli, you are too modest. After all, you are a man who can make the emperor possess you. You must be outstanding in many aspects."
"Then let's each rest for a while, and then set off to return to Liyue Harbor in a day."
Gu Sanqiu came to the front desk, handed out Mora, and generously asked for two upper rooms to rest.
There is no such convenient thing as information network in Teyvat, so there is no way to book a driver for the return trip. After the fight, Gu Sanqiu became too lazy and was not in a hurry to return to Liyue Harbor.
It just so happened that he also had a suicidal idea that he wanted to realize, to see if bringing the worldly leisurely version of the Emperor to Wangshu Inn would hook someone out.
His God's Eye detection was always on. Even if there was a hint of abnormal wind element, Gu Sanqiu would follow it like an unscrupulous paparazzi.
"Well, that guy likes to eat almond tofu, and he's also a fanboy of the Emperor."
Gu Sanqiu stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Then the question is, if I cover the emperor with almond tofu and pass it to him, will that brother be so excited that he will faint?"
…
What an evil idea.
Gu Sanqiu quickly dismissed the idea of the strange color, walked out of the room and came to the observation deck of Wangshu Inn.
"Well, it's really quite interesting to look out into the distance."
After pretending to be a scholar, Gu Sanqiu looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly retreated and walked towards the small balcony on the upper floor.
After making sure that there was no one up there, Gu Sanqiu jumped up, stood on it, put his hands on the ground and looked further away.
"Yeah, not bad, although the place is a little small, but I can see farther."
"Leave."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned, then subconsciously turned his head to look back, only to see the breeze blowing towards him.
"Eh? Why are you here again, guest? Or do you want to dine in the lobby?"
The receptionist looked at Gu Sanqiu standing there in a daze with a surprised look on his face: "Guest, you must be a martial artist, you walked down without making any sound, I didn't even notice when you came down."
I didn't come down here by myself.
Gu Sanqiu's face was full of black lines. He didn't even see what the guy looked like, and then he was successfully sent down there. It can be seen that the strength of a certain Yaksha is definitely above him.
"I just wanted to chat with you for a while. Why did you send me to this place? It's meaningless."
Gu Sanqiu scratched his hair, then simply found a deserted place to sit down and start ordering food.
Anyway, everything is on account at Wangshu Inn, and Zhongli can settle all the expenses there before leaving, so he doesn't have to worry about his boss having no food to eat.
The fact that Roufeng was able to send him to the bottom without anyone noticing could only mean that the strength of this demon-conquering sage was beyond his reach at the moment.
"its not right."
Gu Sanqiu noticed something was wrong: "There's no need for me to compete with these thousand-year-old monsters. If I live another thousand years, I might be more powerful than them."
Yeah, yes, that's it.
After figuring it out, Gu Sanqiu ordered three plates of almond tofu in a row and immediately felt much better.
…
"Brother Gu, although the trip was short, I did learn a lot, and it was a good outing."
Zhongli bowed to Gu Sanqiu and said, "There are still some matters that have not been completed in the Wangsheng Hall. See you next time when we have time."
See you?
Which BOSS are you going to fight next time?
Please don't ask me to do something this tiring.
Gu Sanqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, bowed to Zhongli as well, and said goodbye at the door of the Hall of Rebirth.
After returning home, Gu Sanqiu walked into the incense room, lit incense and recited some inscriptions, then bowed to the cauldron and extended his right hand on the wall of the cauldron.
"The temperature is...normal?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "It shouldn't be like this."
"Return to the next plate first."
Gu Sanqiu walked underground and activated all the soundproofing and warning formations before sitting on the forging table with a frown on his face.
"It's not the same as expected. It seems that Mr. Zhong doesn't care about Ruo Tuo. It's different from what I learned before."
"Also... something seems to be wrong with Xiao. He seems to have recognized my Eye of God."
If it were someone else, Xiao would just wait quietly for them to leave, instead of simply saying "leave" and then sending himself off in a very gentle way.
"It seems that the details are different from what I know. Does this mean that my plan to wait for that guy to catch emergency food is not right?"
Considering that certain words might attract the attention of certain people, even with the protection of the formation, Gu Sanqiu was still very careful not to say the name.
The main direction is not a problem. If the protagonist does not show up , the one-eyed Xiaobao cannot be a remnant of the times that is scrapped everywhere. He should be a regular army.
"So, the general direction is correct. We still need to wait for that guy to show up in Mondstadt, so that the timeline I remember can be matched."
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin and said, "However, I can't just wait for this guy. No matter how he shows up in the end, the key is to arrange my own affairs properly."
"From the planting of Goldfinger crops, the perception of the rock ridge, and this."
Gu Sanqiu took out the golden scale from his arms: "What are you going to do with this thing?"
As for whether he could successfully deal with this scale, Gu Sanqiu said he was not too worried. After all, the fact that this thing was handed over to him proved that Ruotu and Uncle Zhong had confidence in him.
Simply put, because he had gained the favorability of the two big guys, they probably had done some preliminary processing for him. Even though this thing was a high-end material, a newbie like him could still operate it.
"Shields? Or coating weapons?"
He didn't think he could eat it because he didn't have teeth strong enough to do so. If he did, he would have rushed over to bite Ruota, which would have guaranteed to cause more damage than the hammer.
Gu Sanqiu didn't think of throwing it into the golden finger to exchange for something. Firstly, this was the scale given to him by Ruo Tuo, which was quite commemorative. Secondly, his golden finger was just a claw machine, and who knew what could come out of it.
Brother Tuozi is a big shot. What if a ferocious dragon-like creature comes out after he is thrown in?
No, maybe I can't even get out. I was dragged in when I was wrestling with the other party with the fishing rod, and then the Fengxiang lineage was cut off from then on...
"Hmm... how about trying to make a real shield?"
