Genshin Impact: Being a Genshin Impact Trainer in Teyvat

Legend has it that during the Demon War, flames raged across every corner of Teyvat. Wars were waged not only among the demons themselves, but also by countless evil creatures attempting to exploit the chaos to expand their territories.

Among them was a monster that greatly annoyed Morax, the "Rock Devil" who had not yet become one of the Seven Gods.

These monsters come from the deep sea. They have soft skin and scales, and their arms and legs are nimble. They can survive even if their limbs are severed. They also spit out sticky, wet liquids...

The above features are disgusting enough, but that's not the point. The point is that they are "small" and seem to be everywhere.

Tables, chairs, benches, door cracks, window frames, curtains, folds of clothes, even teacups, books and pen holders...

If you reach out your hand, you might feel something cold, sticky, or wet. These monsters will rustle up the back of your hand, leaving a trail of glittering liquid wherever they pass.

At the urging of the Liyue ancestors, Morax promised to destroy this monster. However, Morax could never, as he did on the battlefield, hurl down countless stone spears, shattering the very earth itself, against this evil creature that infested human society.

However, Morax is the "God of Contract" of later generations. He will fulfill any prayer he agrees to, no matter what.

Driven by a sense of responsibility, he used his divine power to manipulate countless rock prisons of varying sizes, pulling these monsters out of countless houses one by one!

At the end of the long extermination campaign, Morax understood for the first time the meaning of the word "relief".

The extremely troublesome extermination and the disgusting-smelling slime of the aquatic monsters left a deep impression on him.

Zhongli, the mortal incarnation, stays away from all living, crawling aquatic creatures even though he lives in a port city.

“I don’t like seafood…”

"Just seeing seafood brings to mind that... how should I put it, slippery texture and that lingering fishy smell. Oh, as for the reason... well, it's a long story, so I'll just chalk it up to my excellent memory.

Looking at the strange barbecue in front of him that looked like a large water slime, even if Xiangling's cooking skills were superb, it would be difficult to make it melt in Zhongli's mouth.

Zhongli looked rather embarrassed at the moment, and didn't touch the two new dishes placed before him—"Sea Demon Sashimi" and "Whirlpool Stew"...

However, it was a full evaluation of a plate of "Salt and Pepper Tofu" on the table.

Zhongli took only one bite and then asked Xiangling what kind of salt she used to season it, and then said something else -

"Why not try the sea salt extracted from the shallow waters of Guyun Pavilion? Its texture can give the tofu a more umami flavor."

This prompted Xiangling to rush to the kitchen to redo it and improve it.

After following Zhongli's advice, Xiangling discovered that the same dish tasted completely different! She couldn't help but praise Zhongli's insight.

Hu Tao was also obviously a little unhappy with the ingredients Ye Xing brought and Xiang Ling's new dishes.

"I originally thought that 'Qingxin Fried Slime Condensate' was Xiangling's revenge on me... Ugh... I didn't expect this to be so heavyweight..."

"Is that so? I think it's pretty good. It tastes very smooth!"

Paimeng didn't mind at all. He quickly finished the food on the table with relish and kept fighting with Ye Xing and Ying.

"Yeah, yeah! I think so too. I even saved some to roast for Yaoyao when she comes, hehe."

Xiangling was obviously very satisfied with the new recipe she had researched, but it was a pity that the ingredients were scarce and only enough for this one time.

At the same time, Zhongli also recognized Guoba's identity, but seeing his comfortable life now, he did not say much. Instead, he was a little immersed in memories.

------------

"I can feel that Ye Xing's use of rock elements is indeed extraordinary..."

"From a common sense perspective, with your abilities, you have every chance of becoming Liyue's next Geogod..."

During the conversation, Zhongli seemed to say this sentence inadvertently.

After eating and drinking, they said goodbye to Xiangling and walked together on the street of Liyue Pier.

Hu Tao was busy returning to the "Wangsheng Hall" to receive a rare new customer. She left in a hurry, and before leaving, she did not forget to remind Zhongli not to take too long a leave.

Looking at the people around him, Paimeng, who has always been a talkative person, immediately started his usual chattering mode during the journey.

"I suddenly feel in a good mood today!"

"If Ye Xing and Zhong Li could travel with us like this, I don't know how much easier it would be!"

"Zhongli's erudition, Ye Xing's mastery over monsters, Ying's special talent for travel, plus your powerful combat abilities, and I as your best guide...!"

"I seem to have envisioned a beautiful scene where we can easily travel across the continent of Teyvat and leave our footprints on every piece of land! Hehe."

Paimon, who said this, had narrowed his eyes into a crescent-shaped line. He looked quite happy. He flew among several people and felt very safe.

Several people ignored Paimeng. In response to what Zhongli said, Ye Xing did not respond. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about what happened before.

"When I was in Ningguang's 'Qun Yu Pavilion', I overheard the Seven Stars discussing the election of the 'New Rock God'..."

"Qixing once said that since we are looking for the God of Rock, then this person must possess the 'God's Eye' of rock attribute..."

"Also, Liyue is vast and rich in resources, with countless talented individuals. The new Geogod must also be well-versed in Liyue's ancient history. He should be knowledgeable and well-versed in both ancient and modern times..."

"Furthermore, as the representative and ruler of Liyue, the Rock God must naturally be mature, steady, and handsome, ideally with a touch of the Emperor's demeanor..."

Having said that, Ye Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes were playful, and he looked at a few people with a sly smile on his lips.

"When I heard Qixing's words, the first reaction that came to my mind was..."

"It's the famous guest of the 'Wangsheng Hall', Mr. Zhongli!"

"So I strongly recommend Mr. Zhongli to be the new generation of Rock God!"

As soon as Ye Xing finished speaking, Ying, who was standing beside him, was stunned. She couldn't help but raise her chin slightly and glanced at Zhongli with a squint.

Paimon also opened his eyes wide, glanced at Zhongli, his mouth slightly open, and a drop of sweat could not help but flow down his forehead...

Zhongli seemed to be stunned by Ye Xingyu's style of shocking others and was quite speechless...

"Good fellow! Ye Xing, you clearly know that Zhongli..."

At this moment, Ye Xing, who had been smiling with ill intentions, suddenly changed his expression.

Because he suddenly felt that the "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" in his space seemed to have some unusual movements, and it emitted a faint light...
