Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Durav filled his glass again and said, "I dare not drink in front of Diona these days. I can only drink when she is not around... Oh, by the way, you can't complain to her! I will definitely quit drinking. I will only drink this bottle today. I won't touch any more!"

"Just know what's going on in your mind. I won't get involved."

"Okay! That's sensible. I'll do it!"

The two clinked their glasses again. Wang Chen hesitated for a moment and then drank the remaining half of his glass in one gulp.

"Ahem! No, I can only drink this one glass."

"Hey, young man, you have to have confidence! With this glass of wine, you have already drunk a quarter of the bottle." After pouring the last glass of wine, Duraf shook the bottle vertically downwards vigorously.

"No, no, I'm really going to get drunk if I drink any more."

"Haha! Do what you can. Do what you can." Duraf stopped trying to persuade him and asked, "You live in Mondstadt, right?"

"For now, yes."

"Have you ever seen a child who often feeds pigeons on the Mond Bridge?"

"Is it Timmy?"

"Yes, you know him?"

"I have a good relationship with him, what's wrong?"

"Ah~"

Duraf sighed and wanted to raise his glass to drink, but then he remembered that he had to quit drinking, and this was the last glass of the day, so he had to take a sip.

"The child's father was the one who persuaded me to quit drinking. Later, he was seriously injured and died in a hunting accident, leaving Timmy alone. I... I really couldn't face Timmy... so I entrusted him to the care of my friends in Mondstadt, and everyone kept it a secret from Timmy...

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, wondering whether I should tell Timmy the truth. How do you think Timmy is doing out of sight of us elders?"

what?

What is it this time?

You wouldn't be asked by Durafi to tell Timmy that 'your father is dead', would you?

Wang Chen answered truthfully: "Although he is kind, he is a bit withdrawn and has very few friends of the same age. Other children of his age play around all day long, but Timmy watches over pigeons all day long, waiting for his father to write him letters."

"I understand." Duraf accepted it calmly, probably having expected it.

"Chief!" The young hunter from before came again.

"what happened again?"

"Someone knows the girl wearing the Eye of God. They say she is Xiang Ling, the chef of Wanmin Hall!"

"Ah! Oh... Never mind. Anyway, I've already asked Alan to chase them away. I really missed a good opportunity. I didn't expect her to come here."

The young hunter came and went. Duraf drank up the wine in his glass to bid farewell to Wang Chen and prepared to start today's hunting. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door, the chef Xiangling, who should have been persuaded to leave, came to his door.

Two girls, one of them is wearing the Eye of God, and the other one has a flying thing, there's no doubt about it.

"You are Xiangling, right?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Durafu, it's my fault!"

"I've heard about everything you did. Now that you're here—"

"So, so scary!" Paimon crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself.

"Violence is wrong!" Ying followed suit.

Unexpectedly, Duraf's tone changed and he put his hands together in front of him and said, "Please help us promote our meat products!"

"...Huh?" X3

"I'm sorry, that was a little abrupt. Let me explain. Qingquan Town has always been famous for its high-quality meat, but its reputation should not be limited to Mondstadt.

"I just happened to hear that Chef Xiangling came to Mondstadt, so I immediately asked Alan to invite you over."

At this point, Du Lafu winked at Wang Chen. Xiangling and Ying also saw it, but did not understand its meaning.

Character determines destiny. Although Wang Chen was added to this incident, the dialogues of the others did not change, and they continued according to Xiangling's legendary mission...

"I can't let the material constrain my inspiration, otherwise the things I make will be boring."

"Well, since you are so determined, let it go. But it's really a pity..."

Xiangling was about to turn around and leave when Xiaowen came in at the right time.

"Humph! UFO, why do I see you everywhere I go?"

"Humph! You brainless piece of stone, shouldn't I be the one saying this?"

"Who is it? Who is talking?!" Xiangling reacted greatly and looked around.

"Humph! My master and I came to Qingquan Town to do good deeds, unlike you."

You really can say that... Wang Chen was too tired to complain.

Paimon's momentum suddenly weakened: "We didn't mean it. We are here to apologize."

Duraf waved his hand and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Let it go."

Xiangling finally set her eyes on Wang Chen. She was sure that the voice came from Wang Chen. Maybe it was the same kind as Paimon?

No, no, no, it’s better not to be the same kind, Paimon can’t be eaten.

Feeling the drooling gaze, Wang Chen explained: "Hello, Miss Xiangling, the voice that spoke is my sword spirit Xiao Wen."

"Sword spirit? I've never seen one. Can I eat it?"

"You! What are you going to do?!" Xiao Wen felt scared for the first time.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Wang Chen drew out the Wentian Sword. The pure gold color shone brightly in the sunlight, extremely dazzling.

"Ah... So her true form is really a sword? I've never tried this before, and using it to cook would definitely cause trouble..."

"Haha, Miss Xiangling, and Ying and Paimeng, although Xiaowen can't eat it, there is a very good chef in Qingquan Town. Since you are here, it would be a pity not to try her cooking."

"delicious?"

"A great chef?"

Wang Chen nodded: "Go to the street on the right. You can smell the fragrance not far away. Follow the scent. I won't go with you."

I hope I don’t get recognized by Brock when I go there, and end up having a dull meal with him thanks to my relationship with the Durrav family.

“Delicious, delicious, delicious!”

"Chef, chef, chef!"

"Humph! UFOs can't move when they see food. Hurry up and get so fat that they can't fly."

"I won't argue with you, Ying, Xiangling, let's get going!"

Wang Chen doesn't want to leave now and wants to have lunch here.

He turned to Duraf and said, "Actually, I've been practicing swordsmanship lately, and I've hit a bit of a bottleneck. Can I follow you to see some hunting? Maybe I can gain something."

"Well... that's not a problem, but you must follow instructions when you get to the forest to avoid any mistakes."

"Of course."

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get ready."

Duraf quickly cleared the remaining plates on the table, put on his bow and quiver, and slung a dagger around his waist.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chen warned Xiao Wen: "When we go hunting later, don't talk nonsense and scare away the prey."

"Humph! I'm not a fool."

"You'd better not be."

After everything was ready, Duraf led Wang Chen to call a few people and went to the square in the center of the town to wait.

Those people then went on to notify more people, and everyone came to the square in tacit understanding.

In the end, a total of thirty people came. Among so many people, Wang Chen only knew Allen and the young hunter from before. It seemed that all the hunters were divided into five teams, and each team had at least two veteran hunters.

Just before the teams were ready to set off, another person hurriedly ran towards Duraf. Wang Chen remembered that he was a waiter at Block's Restaurant.

"Mr. Duraf, Brock said that the wild boar king should not wait until the evening. She wants to use it at noon."

"Noon? Isn't that a bit of a waste?"

"She had a disagreement with Xiangling, the chef of Wanmintang, and the two had a big argument. They wanted to compete in cooking skills, so they naturally had to choose the best meat."

Duraf glanced at Wang Chen and wondered if Chen had expected Xiangling and Brock to have a conflict, so he introduced Xiangling to Durok's for dinner?

Then experiencing hunting is probably just an excuse, right? He just wants to take part in this ultimate cooking showdown?

I was wondering why you suddenly didn't want to leave, young man.

Duraf was naturally very smart to be able to become the hunter leader of Qingquan Town, but he did not point it out, which was not a bad thing anyway.

"I understand. Don't worry, Brock. I will definitely bring the Wild Boar King back."

During the conversation, the other four teams had already left Qingquan Town from different directions under the leadership of their respective leaders.

"We have to change the hunting plan temporarily. Brock is anxious to get the wild boar king, but we have to deliver it before lunch. It's only 9:30 now, so there's still plenty of time."

"Jerry, go notify the transport team."

After giving instructions to a young hunter, Duraf introduced him to the others, "The man next to me is Mondstadt's honorary knight. He wants to see some hunting. Don't pay any attention to him. Just do what you need to do."

After Jerry came back, the team started to set off.

The hunting range of Qingquan Town extends from Fruit Wine Lake in the north to Longji Snow Mountain in the south, and from the avenue west of Fengqidi in the east. The western boundary is vague, roughly to the statue of the God of Wind in the west. The whole area is a square with a total size of about 1200 square kilometers.

Duraf's hunting target this time is located in a forest south of Qingquan Town, 15 kilometers away in a straight line.

Even though the hunters often traveled through the forest, were familiar with the roads, and were in good physical condition, it still took them an hour to reach their destination.

Duraf might be able to go faster, up to 20 km/h, due to his racial advantage, but he is still more than twice as slow as the holder of the Eye of God.

It seems that the level of sword intent cannot make up for this shortcoming. I just don't know how fast the sword god who claims that sword energy can be used as elemental force can run. It probably can't make up for the difference in physical fitness, right? Wang Chen thought secretly.

In the forest ahead, a large group of wild boars were unaware of the danger.

Including a few piglets that still need milk, there are about thirty of them. Most of them are leisurely digging in the grass, looking for their favorite grass roots and berries.

The most conspicuous one among them is a huge monster with a body length of two meters and a shoulder height of one and a half meters. There are many irregular scars on its body. There are two horn-like fangs hanging from its mouth. They are more than ten centimeters long and look like bone daggers, which are very ferocious.

It is the wild boar king as the hunters call it. At this moment, it is enjoying the friendly feeding from two female wild boars without tusks.

"This guy is so cruel. He drove away all the other male wild boars."

"It's only now that it's at its peak. It was severely punished before."

"It drove away all the other males, which made it easier for us to attack."

Duraf made a gesture, and everyone quickly found a big tree and climbed up.

Seeing this, Wang Chen quickly found a tree.

Duraf explained, "Being hit by this beast is no joke, but it won't climb trees, so we should first use a volley of arrows to consume its strength and vitality, and then chase it when it is ready to escape, and try to grind it to death as safely as possible."

Then he said to the hunters: "Men, get your knives and arrows ready, aim at its neck and just behind its shoulders, 3, 2, 1!"

Following Duraf's command, six 70-centimeter-long feather arrows hit the wild boar king's neck and the back of his shoulders.

It let out a shrill scream, but its body was steady and it didn't look injured at all. It looked for its enemy with red eyes.

The other female wild boars and piglets were frightened and fled in all directions.

"shoot!"

Another round of volleys, the wild boar king determined the enemy's position, accelerated and rushed over, slamming into the tree where Alan was.

The half-meter-thick tree was shaken by the impact.

"Shoot in the eyes!"

This time, while the wild boar king was running, only Duraf shot it in the corner of the eye.

Wild boars have aggressive personalities and like to fight back if attacked, especially if they feel their lives are threatened.

Instead of running away, the wild boar king aimed at Alan's tree with his remaining eye and rammed it hard. After several consecutive attacks, he actually knocked the tree crooked.

Due to their positions, Alan was the only one who could shoot its other eye, but he no longer had the energy to shoot.

"Mr. Draw!" Alan exclaimed.

"Everyone else keep shooting. Shoot out all the arrows you have. Alan, just hold on tight and don't fall!"

After several rounds of volleys, the wild boar king was more seriously injured. In the end, he failed to break the tree where Alan was, and began to try to escape.

"This beast is so clever, it keeps looking at us with its blind eyes!"

"No hurry, it won't live long."

When the wild boar king was about to escape from the hunters' shooting range, everyone came down from the trees and chased it.

"Don't get too close, or it might attack you back."

As soon as Duraf finished speaking, the Wild Boar King really turned back. Fortunately, the hunters kept their distance and were able to climb trees quickly in Teyvat.

This was repeated twice, and the Wild Boar King was clearly running out of strength.

"Stop shooting for now. I'll see if I can put an end to it."

Duraf landed on the ground, bursting out with the swiftness of his orc blood, and cut a hole in the boar king's leg with his knife.

The wild boar king was furious and tried to kick Duraf with his hind legs, but Duraf dodged it deftly.

Duraf slashed at the same wound again and again. Finally, the wild boar king could no longer run and fell to the ground with his legs weak.

"Come down to finish off the enemy, be careful."
