I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After searching for a while, Qiqi and Youhaka were also preparing dinner when Youhaka grabbed an unlucky pheasant, broke its neck, and turned it into a beggar's chicken.

After Yuhaka dug the prepared beggar's chicken out of the ground, he skillfully cut it up with his knife and fork. After cutting it up, Yuhaka divided the portions for everyone. However, after handing it to Qiqi, Qiqi picked up the dish in her hand and looked at it with a puzzled expression, asking, "What... is this?"

In response to Qiqi's question, Yuhaka and Jilin introduced the dish "Beggar's Chicken" to her. However, Qiqi gave a very simple answer that shut them up.

That means Qiqi has no sense of taste.

Upon hearing this news, Yuhaka was immediately shocked. If she had no sense of taste, how could she thank the other party for helping her find local specialties with such delicious food?

Thinking about this, Yuhaka began to use his brain, which he had never used before. Soon, as a lightbulb appeared on Yuhaka's head, Yuhaka knew how to deal with the problem. Although Qiqi, who had become a zombie, was considered a dead person, her body cells were actually in an inactive state and not completely dead. Otherwise, Qiqi might have rotted.

However, this is not difficult for Yuhaka. He can simply use his life energy to activate the cells in Qiqi's body that are not active enough. Although Qiqi is currently like a ghost possessing a corpse, once the active cells in her body are restored, it will be almost like being resurrected.

After Yuhaka finished infusing Qiqi with life energy, Qiqi did a simple movement and said with a slightly surprised expression, "I feel...much better...not stiff anymore..."

After trying to move her body a little, Qiqi found that her body, which was originally a bit stiff, became less stiff. To be honest, it was the first time Qiqi had felt that her body was much smoother.

"Thank you..." Although she didn't know what had happened, Qiqi was very grateful to Yuhaka for helping her solve the problem. But more than Qiqi's gratitude, Yuhaka wanted her to try his beggar's chicken.

Hearing what Yuhaka said, Qiqi also tried the beggar's chicken made by Yuhaka. After taking a bite, Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise. It was clear that she was very surprised to taste the food.

After all, Qiqi hadn't tasted anything for a long time, so suddenly being able to taste something now gave her an indescribable feeling.

Yuhaka and Ji Lin were a little surprised to see Qi Qi eating while looking at her with a shocked expression. After all, they didn't know how long she had lost her sense of taste, but judging from her appearance, it had probably been quite a while.

After Yuhaka and the others finished eating beggar's chicken, Yuhaka took out some miso soup from the thermos in the dimensional cave and poured a bowl for everyone to try. Qiqi thanked Yuhaka and accepted the miso soup. After being able to taste it, Qiqi became a little interested in food. She also started to wonder what coconut milk tasted like. Although she had a vague feeling of nostalgia, she still couldn't figure it out.

After Qiqi was able to taste the flavor, Yuhaka asked her what she thought of it. Qiqi replied that it was delicious. Although Qiqi hadn't tasted anything for a long time, she thought the dish Yuhaka made, called Beggar's Chicken, was indeed delicious.

"However, I'd like to drink coconut milk..." Qiqi looked at the miso soup in her hand and couldn't help but want to drink coconut milk. Hearing Qiqi mention coconut milk, Yuhaka was also interested. Yuhaka and Jilin didn't connect the coconut milk Qiqi mentioned with coconut juice, assuming it was some kind of Liyue specialty drink.

"What's coconut milk? Youyou is so curious OwO~" Hearing Qiqi mention coconut milk, Youhaka approached Qiqi with a curious expression and asked, pressing her against her. Although Qiqi's body had lost its vitality, she still had a cool and refreshing herbal scent. Youhaka didn't find it offensive. Qiqi didn't find Youhaka's touching behavior offensive either. Although Youhaka had a warm feeling about him, Qiqi didn't find it annoying.

“Coconut milk, delicious milk~” When talking about coconut milk, Qiqi’s usually calm tone suddenly became a little excited. Hearing Qiqi’s answer, Yuhaka and Jilin thought of something. It probably refers to a drink made from coconut juice and some animal’s dairy products.

However, after Yuhaka and Jilin asked what kind of animal's dairy products they were made from, Qiqi gave them a puzzled answer.

"Hmm, it's a coconut sheep..."

Upon hearing Qiqi's words, Yuhaka and Jilin couldn't help but imagine a coconut with a sheep's head and limbs. Their little heads were full of questions. After further questioning, Yuhaka and Jilin roughly learned that it was a sheep-like creature with half-immortal blood, and coconut milk was the dairy product produced by it.

However, according to Qiqi, she had tried to find the Coconut Sheep, but she couldn't find it no matter what she did. She was very puzzled as to whether the Coconut Sheep had seen her and was hiding.

Yuhaka also regarded the creature called Coconut Sheep as a highly vigilant creature, and that it might be extremely good at hiding. Thinking of this, Yuhaka couldn't help but become interested, since there were basically no creatures that could hide from her senses, unless the creature was an elemental being, something like a roadside pebble.

In that case, finding Yuhaka might take a bit more effort.

However, after learning about a creature called the Coconut Sheep, Ehaka became quite interested in this trip to Liyue.

P.S.: I ate half a bowl more rice today and my stomach got bloated. Although it wasn't that serious, it still affected me. When I get bloated, my stomach and chest feel uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable. I'll have to eat less next time.

Volume 6 [Youyou's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2010 [Zhongli: Subway, Old Man, Cellphone.jpg]

"Where's the coconut sheep? Where's the coconut sheep? OwO~"

Because Qiqi had to deliver medicinal herbs back to Bubulu, she planned to leave Youhaka and the others. Youhaka and Jilin were searching for the Coconut Sheep. They went to other places to look for the so-called Coconut Sheep, but unfortunately, despite spending a lot of effort, Youhaka did not find any trace of it.

Not only was there no sign of the coconut sheep, but Yuhaka couldn't even find its footprints. Yuhaka looked completely bewildered and scratched his head with his big tail. Ji Lin, standing to the side, looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and asked, "Master Yuyou, the coconut sheep that Qiqi mentioned hasn't been found yet. Could it be extremely rare, even rarer than a giant panda?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka also showed a troubled expression. After all, for Yuhaka, the most troublesome thing was that delicious things were easily eaten to extinction, and it would be very difficult to find the remaining biological essence of the other party.

Nearly extinct ingredients are also troublesome, as they are scarce and very difficult to find. Although it wouldn't be difficult for Yhaka to find nearly extinct ingredients with his strength, the problem is that Yhaka doesn't have much patience. Finding something that is nearly extinct is quite a lot of work for Yhaka.

Soon, Yuhaka's search for the coconut sheep turned into a catching trip to catch fish in the river. On the way, Yuhaka saw a fish that looked like a pufferfish and a catfish. Intrigued, Yuhaka changed his plans and went to cause trouble for the fish.

I've seen this kind of fish, Yuhaka, at the seafood market. I heard it's called a pufferfish because it absorbs water and turns it into projectiles, like an archerfish, and spits out the absorbed water. If a person gets hit by it, they'll be at least dizzy. This is quite dangerous for people fishing by the river or on fishing boats. If they're not careful, they might fall into the river and drown.

However, this tactic is useless against Yuhaka. But there is one type of pufferfish that Yuhaka dislikes: the extremely rare species of pufferfish – the bitter pufferfish. Just like its name suggests, this rare species of pufferfish secretes a bitter-tasting pheromone, and the bubbles they exhale also contain a highly irritating bitter pheromone. This is a species that Yuhaka finds extremely annoying.

After all, Yuhaka doesn't really like bitter tastes, and neither does Jilin. Fortunately, bitter pufferfish are relatively rare, so there's no need to worry about a situation where all the pufferfish are bitter.

Nighttime—in the wilderness of Liyue.

Ehaka and Jilin set up camp on a secluded rock face, a good place to avoid the harassment of the Hilichurls and the treasure-hunting group. Ehaka didn't want to be disturbed while sleeping with Jilin.

Ji Lin looked at the curry rice cooking in the pot in front of him, made with the ingredients he had found that day, and tasted it a little. After finding the taste to be quite good, he called Yuhaka over for dinner. Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka was trying to use a created derivative to search for clues about the coconut sheep, but of course, he found nothing.

While the two were eating, Ji Lin asked Youhaka with some curiosity, "Master Youyou, is the coconut sheep that Qiqi mentioned a half-immortal beast?"

Yuhaka, who was eating, was slightly taken aback when he heard Ji Lin's question, and then nodded to indicate that it was true. But why did Ji Lin ask this?

With Yuhaka looking on with an "O~O?" expression, Ji Lin raised his index finger and asked curiously, "So, the question is, what exactly does 'half-immortal' refer to?"

Upon hearing this question, Yuhaka was stunned. Clearly, Yuhaka hadn't thought of this question. However, since Ji Lin had brought it up, Yuhaka scratched its little head with its big tail, seemingly deep in thought, and said, "Why don't we ask Zhongli OwO?"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Ji Lin also felt that it was indeed a good choice to let Mr. Zhongli explain this matter. After all, as the Rock King Emperor, he should know a lot of things, right?

...............................

"A demigod beast? A coconut sheep?"

At the open-air stage in a teahouse, upon hearing Yuhaka and Jilin's questions, Zhongli unusually showed a puzzled expression. Clearly, Yuhaka and Jilin's questions puzzled Zhongli greatly. Zhongli knew something about the half-immortals, but the coconut sheep... Zhongli had never heard of such a creature in Liyue. He couldn't help but wonder if he had forgotten something due to wear and tear.

"Hmm, does Zhongli know about this?" Yuhaka, who was lying on the tea table, asked Zhongli. Zhongli looked very apologetic and said to Yuhaka and the others, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of such a creature in Liyue as the Coconut Sheep, which is a half-immortal beast. However, I do know a little about the half-immortals."

Upon hearing that Zhongli knew about the Half-Immortal, Yuhaka and Jilin seemed quite interested. After all, their purpose in coming to Zhongli was to find out about the Half-Immortal and the Coconut Sheep. Then, through Zhongli's explanation, Yuhaka and the others learned that the so-called Half-Immortal refers to people with immortal blood, and the so-called immortals are the Liyue Immortals who once fought alongside the Rock King.

Generally speaking, immortals can have human or animal forms, making it difficult to categorize them. The half-immortal beasts that Yuhaka and the others asked about might be strange rumors spread by Liyue civilians who saw immortals going out in some situation.

However, regarding what Zhongli said, Youhaka and Jilin also mentioned that some people had drunk the coconut milk produced by the so-called coconut sheep. Zhongli looked at it with the expression of an old man looking at his phone. However, since it is a product of a demigod, then this so-called coconut sheep is probably a very rare creature. It is probably normal that no one has heard of it.

Regardless, Zhongli suggested that Yuhaka and the others try their luck at the Adventurers' Guild, as they might be able to find some useful information.

Hearing Zhongli's suggestion, Yuhaka and Jilin nodded in understanding. Although they didn't know if the so-called Adventurers' Guild could help them find the so-called Coconut Sheep, they decided to talk to Cangxuan and the others about what they had encountered on their journey in Liyue beforehand.

P.S.: I've probably been overworked lately; energy drinks aren't working anymore. I need to find a way to get more rest.

Volume 6 [Youyou's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2011 [Cangxuan and Danzhu's Visit]

"So something like this actually happened in Qingce Village? No wonder the quantity of goods there has decreased. I thought it was because production there had dropped."

Upon hearing what Yuhaka and the others said, Cang Xuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Originally, when Qingce Village received its goods, Cang Xuan noticed that the quantity of goods was a bit less. At first, she thought it was a production issue, but she didn't expect that it was actually the work of the Chaos Evil God... Thinking of this, Cang Xuan couldn't help but shudder. If Yuhaka and the others had arrived in this world any later, Cang Xuan suspected that the locusts affected by Chaos would probably have already caused an insect plague in Qingce Village.

Although Qingce Village is just an ordinary little village, it would be extremely difficult to provide support if it were to be hit by an insect infestation. Evacuating the civilians there would also be a challenge, as there is a long route from Liyue Harbor to Qingce Village. Evacuating civilians to Liyue Harbor would not be something that could be done in a day or two. The poor road conditions, the potential threat of Hilichurls and treasure-hunting groups, and the large number of elderly people and children in Qingce Village would make the journey quite difficult.

"Although there was a clear threat of chaos over there, thanks to Master Youyou's help, we quickly dealt with those chaotic locusts. If nothing unexpected happens, those locusts will all be dead soon."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Cang Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, given the level of pest control in this world, dealing with locusts with strange powers would be extremely unpleasant. Of course, there might be people who have a solution, but Cang Xuan and the others didn't know, just like the legendary immortals in Liyue.

However, Cang Xuan knew nothing about immortals. After all, Cang Xuan had never gone to the wilderness of Liyue to search for immortals. It would be too much of a challenge for scientists like them to climb mountains and wade through rivers to find immortals.

"Well, it seems this world won't be too peaceful after all. But Ji Lin, are you and Youyou planning to go back?" Cang Xuan asked, arms crossed, looking at Youhaka and Ji Lin. Hearing Cang Xuan's question, Dan Zhu, who was standing to the side, also looked at Youhaka and the others with great interest and asked, "Yes, yes! Ji Lin, didn't you say you were going back? I've always been curious about what your islands are like. Could you take me there to see them?"

Upon hearing Danzhu's question, Ji Lin looked at Youhaka as if asking if Cangxuan and Danzhu could come to the island for a visit. Youhaka had no objection to this, provided that they didn't steal her livestock.

Danzhu and Cangxuan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Youhaka's words. Why would he steal her livestock?

....................................

....................................

Regardless, Yuhaka brought Danzhu and Cangxuan back to the Demon Gathering Island in the ocean. At the port built by the Alita tribe, Danzhu and Cangxuan stared in disbelief at the warships and aircraft carriers docked there. They hadn't expected Yuhaka and her group to have so many ships docked there. These fleets were enough to turn the surrounding coastal cities into ruins.

Moreover, Cangxuan and Danzhu saw a group of little yellow chicks and armed dolls working at the port. Cangxuan and Danzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with the armed dolls, but those little yellow chicks that looked very cute and bouncy didn't look like armed dolls at all. What were they?

"Welcome to Youyou's Island OwO/~" Youhaka said to Cangxuan and Danzhu while standing on a tree stump. Hearing Youhaka's words, Cangxuan and Danzhu came back to their senses. At this moment, the two of them had a rough estimate of the military strength of Youhaka's side. Even without tanks or the like, they could easily deal with most of the forces on this continent with just the armed puppets and these warships.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the Seven Gods do not make a move.

Although they didn't know the exact strength of the seven gods, they did have a general idea of ​​the strength of the Geo Archon of Liyue. After all, the fact that he could create a broken island in the sea not far from Liyue Harbor didn't seem like that of a simple character.

"I really didn't expect this... Although I had some ideas, I didn't expect it to be so much more outrageous than I imagined..." Cang Xuan looked at the armed puppets holding C-14 Gauss rifles under the tall stone tower not far away. Although the weapons in the hands of those armed puppets were miniature versions, judging from the futuristic appearance of the weapons, Cang Xuan did not think they were simple weapons that generated kinetic energy from gunpowder. And most importantly, most of the weapons used by the armed puppets were miniature versions. If the original weapons were like that, Cang Xuan did not think they were simple weapons.

Soon, led by Yuhaka and the others, the group arrived at the port. Here, Cangxuan and Danzhu saw the commercial street that had been built. In the commercial street, Cangxuan and the others saw the little yellow chicken and the armed doll that they had seen before setting up stalls. In addition, Cangxuan also saw a group of nuns decorating the church, which showed that the port had been built not long ago.

Cang Xuan looked at Yuhaka and the others with some doubt and asked, "By the way... was this place recently established? It feels like a lot of things were just finished recently?" In response to Cang Xuan's question, Ji Lin nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. The original plan was to open up routes to other countries through trade, so a port was set up. Although it was established not long ago, it will be completed soon."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were both puzzled. They looked around at the surrounding buildings; they didn't seem to have been built in just a few days, but rather looked like they'd been under construction for months, except for some structures that resembled ruins…

Despite their doubts, Cangxuan's business instincts told him that this place had considerable commercial value. After all, there should be many things that could be used in another world, especially civilian goods. As for military supplies, Cangxuan had not yet had the opportunity to get involved in that area, since the Seven Stars of Liyue would not allow ordinary merchants to handle such things.

"Ah! Commander is back!" In a shop not far away, the Sakura Empire ship girls, seeing Yuhaka and the others return, came to Yuhaka and the others. Looking at these girls who looked like animal-eared girls, Cangxuan and Danzhu couldn't help but show curious expressions. After all, most of the Sakura Empire ship girls had some animal characteristics, so it was normal for Cangxuan and Danzhu to be curious... Well, although there are quite a few people with animal characteristics on the Teyvat continent.

"Youyou's back, and she brought friends too OwO~" Yuhaka introduced Cangxuan and Danzhu to the ship girls who ran over. After hearing Yuhaka's words, the Sakura Empire ship girls began to look at Cangxuan and Danzhu. They were also curious about who Yuhaka's friends were, and they had never seen Cangxuan and Danzhu before.

Cangxuan and Danzhu were not intimidated by the Sakura Empire's ship girls. Neither of them were particularly socially awkward, so they greeted the ship girls smoothly. During their conversation with the Sakura Empire's ship girls, they learned that these girls, who looked like animal-eared girls, were not humanoid beings, but rather highly intelligent AI-like beings, somewhat like armed dolls. However, these ship girls did not use ordinary weapons, but warships.

Cangxuan and Danzhu were surprised and curious when they thought about this. However, Danzhu felt that it was like a pay-to-win mobile game, such as weapons that were turned into female characters or historical figures that were turned into beautiful girls.

After chatting for a while, the Sakura Empire ship girl told Cangxuan and Danzhu that they would talk about it later because she still needed to prepare for the shop.

Watching the ship girls leave, Ji Lin said to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, "Alright, let's go to the next place."

As he spoke, Ji Lin had Yuhaka summon a small airship used by the cats. Upon seeing such a medieval-style airship, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu looked completely bewildered. After all, the ships at the port were full of technological sophistication, but why did they turn into a magical-style airship here?

Cangxuan and Danzhu were both puzzled by this. Could it be that the flight technology in that world was very primitive?

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu both looked puzzled, but once they boarded the small airship, their doubts quickly vanished. After boarding, they saw the unique scenery of this island called Demon Gathering Island. The strange geographical environment created such a wonderful landscape, which made Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu look amazed. Such scenery did not exist in their original world.

Moreover, the enormous capital city built by the Alita people in the center of the island was a magnificent structure. Cangxuan and Danzhu were both quite surprised by it. Moreover, seeing that the buildings were all made of stone, it was hard to believe that such a large building could be constructed in this way.

Soon, after the airship landed inside the nest city, Cangxuan and Danzhu saw the scene inside.

P.S.: I feel like I'm experiencing writer's block; my brain isn't quite working properly.

Volume 6 [YuYu's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2012 [The Armed Dolls with Salaries and Vacations]

"Welcome to Youyou's Nest OwO~" Youhaka, standing to the side of the group, welcomed Cangxuan and Danzhu to his nest. Hearing Youhaka's words, Cangxuan and Danzhu snapped out of their shock and looked at Youhaka with puzzled expressions.

"A lair?" Looking at the ancient city that resembled an ancient civilization, Danzhu and Cangxuan clearly did not associate this place with a beast's lair.

Ji Lin, standing to the side, explained to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, "That's right, this is indeed Master Youyou's lair. The Alita people who built this city also call it the Holy Capital. In the center of the Holy Capital is the Alita people's temple, the Holy Nest. That stone building that occupies a quarter of the city's size is the Holy Nest, and it is also one of Master Youyou's dens."

"Ah..." Upon hearing Ji Lin's reply, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu both looked at each other with an expression of not knowing what to say. After all, the Holy Capital and Holy Nest that Ji Lin had just mentioned sounded very powerful, but after Ji Lin said that the Holy Nest was Yuhaka's lair, the two of them didn't know what to say.

Seeing the awkward expressions on Cangxuan and Danzhu's faces, Ji Lin smiled and said to them, "Haha~ Compared to these things, Cangxuan, you're more concerned about the city's specialties and our fighting strength, aren't you?"

Ji Lin's question was indeed something that Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were quite concerned about. After all, their purpose in coming here was to see what local specialties and armed forces they had. To be honest, after learning that the border regions of Liyue were being harassed by the Chaos God, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu had also been planning to prepare armed forces. Of course, this was not a big problem, as most of the merchant guilds in Liyue had some armed forces to protect their caravans. However, maintaining a guard would require a considerable amount of money.

The Cangxuan Merchant Guild also has its own guard team to protect the safety of its caravans, but this is only true if the enemy is a Hilichurl or a regular treasure-hunting group. If they are facing Chaos Cultists or Fatui, that's a different story.

Cangxuan and Danzhu also considered hiring Yuhaka's men, since in terms of combat power, their own familiar forces were definitely better, especially the armed puppets. Just one of the earliest mass-produced armed puppets could easily defeat a squad of Thousand Rock Army soldiers.

They didn't know how strong the armed puppets were now, but they were at least not weaker than the armed puppets from the Bimu Continent era, right?

Located on the commercial street, Cangxuan and Danzhu saw mostly strange creatures and mineral materials. Through Ji Lin's introduction, Cangxuan and Danzhu also learned that these creature materials were obtained from monsters unique to this island.
