Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Although this stronghold has few people and no buildings, the food stored there is the most luxurious Wang Chen has seen in these three days.

In the wooden box he opened, there were grilled steaks, dry-roasted sweetfish, and northern smoked chicken that were obviously made and packaged by humans. In other wooden boxes, there were manor baked muffins, Mond potato cakes, and golden shrimp balls. They all looked like finished foods that were easy to store and transport.

Of course, there are also some semi-finished products, a box full of smoked poultry, ham and sausages.

In the last box were some transparent liquids in glass bottles. Wang Chen took out a bottle and pulled out the cork. A scent of water of life wafted out and he quickly pushed the cork back in.

If my guess is correct, these should be Chayevich's goods. Wow, he took the trouble to help you get such valuable goods back and only gave you 5000 Mora, and he also made a lot of requests.

Wang Chen was not polite at all. He grabbed the grilled pork steak and golden shrimp balls and ate them.

It tastes really good!

It was the first time in three days that he ate food sprinkled with seasonings. It was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue.

The golden shrimp balls are awesome, no wonder Aqing likes them so much.

He was satisfied only after his belly was full. He found a suitable place to sleep.

The next morning we ate a lot again, and then walked for a long time before we got out of the canyon.

At the mouth of the canyon stood a fat man in winter merchant clothing and three ordinary Fatui members.

The fat man was in a daze at the moment, muttering to himself, "How efficient are the Knights in doing things?"

Opposite them was a handsome young man wearing black-framed glasses and brown clothes. This young man was the first to see Wang Chen.

"You...you actually walked out of this canyon. Are you a man?"

After a little recollection, Wang Chen found his information. Jack, a manly man, was actually very timid.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person passing by."

Chayevic and three Fatui also discovered Wang Chen.

Chayevich asked excitedly: "Did you defeat all the hillocks inside?"

"I told you I'm just an ordinary person. I can't beat them."

Chayevic was a little disappointed. "The fact that you can get out of this canyon shows your strength. I have some goods left in the canyon. If you go and kill all the hillbillies in it, I will give you this amount."

He held out a palm.

"Fifty thousand Mora?"

"What are you thinking? Five thousand at most."

"Then you can ask someone else for help, or try it yourself?"

Chayevich's face turned cold and he said, "Humph! If you don't do it, someone else will."

A member of the Fatui winked at him, and he shook his head slightly. Although he was unhappy, he really didn't dare to touch Wang Chen.

"Then I'm leaving. Bye."

Wang Chen knew that he had no ability to handle this matter. No matter how much the other party offered, he would not accept it. He just wanted to disgust Chayevich.

After passing this canyon, you will reach the suburbs of Mondstadt. Normally, the Knights will deal with monsters in these areas, but due to the recent dragon disaster, these tasks have been handed over to the Adventurer's Guild.

Some sporadic adventurers began to appear on the road. The smallest team was three people, and most of them had more than five people. They were busy clearing out the monsters around the road.

Sometimes Wang Chen would take the initiative to greet them to confirm the effect of the cloak. Overall, at least no one questioned his outfit.

Night fell again. Wang Chen could already see the lights on the walls of Mondstadt, so he stopped and looked for a place to rest.

He didn't plan to go into the city overnight. Without Mora in the city, he would have to sleep on the street.

After a good night's rest, Wang Chen set out towards the expanded Mondstadt.

From a distance, the height of the city wall did not increase much. When he got closer, the Mond Bridge did not abruptly expand 60 or 100 times. Comparing it with his own height, Wang Chen felt that the bridge should be about 40 meters wide. After all, Mond City was built on an island in the lake, and the bridge was the only way out, so it did not seem too wide.

While admiring the incomparable Mondstadt in the game, he stepped onto the bridge.

Early in the morning, Timmy was standing on the bridge at the main gate of Mondstadt feeding the pigeons as usual. Someone walked over and the pigeons flapped their wings and flew away.

"W-what are you doing!"

"me?"

Attracted by the voice in his ear, Wang Chen came back to his senses and turned to look at Timmy.

"Look, is there anyone else here besides you? It's you who scared all the pigeons away!"

Wang Chen did not dare to look down on the little boy who imagined his friend was a guard of the ruins. He wanted to convince him with reason.

"There's nothing I can do about it."

"Huh, how can you say there is no way!"

"Little friend, this is where you are wrong. Look at this bridge. Is it for people to cross?"

"of course!"

"So, do you think I can cross this bridge, or do you want me to swim under it?"

"Of course you can cross the bridge."

"Did I deliberately scare the pigeons? No, I was just walking by normally."

"Do you have to walk this way on such a wide bridge?"

Wang Chen was silent for a second. In the game, it was clearly Timmy who raised pigeons and occupied the Mond Bridge, but this time he was really distracted. However, what the other party said was not right.

"That's just the surface."

Timmy's eyes widened in confusion.

"You need to look beyond the surface to see the essence. You only look at me and think that the road is wide enough to be allocated for pigeons. If 20 carriages pass side by side on the bridge, will there be enough road for pigeons? You cannot and should not occupy this bridge just to take care of pigeons."

"I didn't!" Timmy said anxiously, "Mom said that as long as you love this world, no animal will be afraid of you! Otherwise, why aren't pigeons afraid of me?"

"You are wrong again. Your mother is a good mother. She said this to you in order to educate you. But if a person looks scary and he doesn't actively scare people, but some people feel scared, should we blame him?"

"..."

"We should not blame him, but forgive him. Those who attack his appearance are bad people. Just like me and the pigeons, maybe the pigeons were scared away by me, but I just wanted to cross the bridge and didn't mean to scare them away."

There were tears in Timmy's eyes.

Wang Chen knew Timmy's background and he didn't hate him, but the fact that the pigeons were scared away was really infuriating. He couldn't talk back in the game, but since he could come to the scene today, he had to make things clear.

He comforted her: "It's not your fault. Don't be sad. They will fly back."

"That's generally true... But what if one day he doesn't come back? Like--"

"Stop, let me tell you a little story."

“Once upon a time there was a little boy who often fed a pigeon, and the pigeon became familiar with him.

The pigeon said: "You tamed me. I didn't know humans before, but because of you, now in my eyes, humans have become a special race, and you are a special existence among humans, a unique existence to me."

The little boy said: "You said I tamed you, but you also tamed me. Now when I see other pigeons, I will think of you. When I see ducks, I will think of you. When I see wheat, I will think of you. You are also unique to me."

'Will you leave? ' the little boy asked.

'I will always leave before you, and you will live longer than me. But don't worry, I have tamed you. Even if I am gone, you will think of me when you see other pigeons, ducks, and wheat. Even if I am gone, I will stay in your heart. I just hope you don't forget me.' The pigeon replied.

"The pigeons always come back, just like your father."

Timmy covered his eyes with his right arm, not wanting others to see his tears. Wang Chen gently stroked the top of his head.

"Pat your head and don't cry."

It took Wang Chen ten minutes to walk across the short Mond Bridge in the game. However, compared with the one in the wild that was abruptly expanded 100 times, this bridge was obviously more lenient.

As I stepped into the gate of Mondstadt, the two guards at the door just glanced at me briefly.

Mond, your outsiders are back! Wang Chen shouted in his heart.

"Fresh fruits are available at Kun'en Fruit Stand——"

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Pick it yourself. My Wagner's craftsmanship will not produce defective products."

“Patch’s has it all!”

"Want to buy some flowers? Hoo-hoo."

"The Edgeless Sword is 3,000 each, 13,000 on sale!"

The hawking sounds of various commodities and the bargaining of customers all crowded into Wang Chen's ears.

That’s right, this is the reincarnation life I want!
