Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Zhongli looked at Qiqi's novel logic and chuckled softly.

(These days, even zombies have their own understanding of contracts; how novel!)

"Heh... It's alright, this equal relationship is fine too. In Liyue, the art of trading is putting yourself in someone else's shoes."

"Then please go to Tianheng Mountain. Use the 'Return to the End' to help me hunt 'Coconut Sheep'."

Just as Ying was beginning to suspect that the little zombie might be trying to fool her, Zhong Li spoke up.

"The Returning Machine... I've heard of what she just mentioned. The 'Returning Machine' is a type of crossbow set up by ancient immortals on Mount Tianheng, a product of mechanical engineering. Located within the ancient city walls of Tianheng, it can automatically engage enormous demons and defend against external threats."

Seeing Zhongli start explaining things again, Paimon sighed with admiration.

"Mr. Zhongli really knows Liyue inside and out."

"That's not entirely true... For example, I've never heard of this 'Coconut Sheep' before."

Seeing that Zhongli didn't know about coconut sheep, Qiqi explained.

"The 'Coconut Sheep' is a legendary, semi-divine beast."

Compared to Zhongli's introduction to science, Qiqi's introduction to science is like the difference between a title and a research paper.

Paimon was puzzled when Qiqi's explanation abruptly ended.

"Huh? Is that all?"

"Hmm. The 'Coconut Sheep' is a legendary, semi-divine beast. What it looks like, I don't know. Where it's most abundant, I don't know. What its origin is, I don't know."

Looking at Qiqi, who knew nothing about the matter, Ying also felt a headache coming on.

"This is difficult..."

Seeing that Qiqi couldn't say anything, Zhongli had no choice but to take action.

"Never mind... let's check around the vicinity of 'Return to the End' first; perhaps we'll find some clues there."

After Ying, Zhongli, and Paimeng left, Huiyuan finally arrived late.

Looking at the empty Bubu Lodge, he scratched his head in confusion.

"Strange, where are Zhongli and the others?"

Qiqi curiously peeked out, feeling the wind element aura emanating from Huiyuan, and found it very comfortable.

"Welcome to Bubulu, I am Qiqi."

"Qiqi, have you seen a white floating object that can fly, a big sister with golden hair, and a big brother who looks like a stone?"

Qiqi put her index finger in her mouth and started sucking on it.

"Just now, someone helped me hunt coconut sheep."

Upon hearing the name "Coconut Sheep," Huiyuan immediately recalled the plot.

(This should be the part about repairing the final machine. Oh well, never mind them.)

With that in mind, Huiyuan summoned the coconut milk she had just bought.

I gave it to Qiqi to drink.

"This is coconut milk."

Without hesitation, Qiqi took the coconut milk handed to her by Huiyuan, opened the cork, and gulped it down.

To understand why Qiqi knew about "Gui Zhong Ji" and even used the term "Coconut Sheep," we need to go back to what happened last night.

Gan Yu, the secretary of Yue Haiting, is a half-immortal beast with the bloodline of the mythical beast "Qilin" flowing through her veins. Due to her busy schedule, she often works long hours. Since her workplace is just a few flights of stairs away from Bubulu, she frequently visits Bubulu to buy stimulants. Through these frequent visits, Qi Qi has come to remember Gan Yu's distinctive feature: coconut horns.

Last night, Qiqi was doing her daily work at the counter when Ganyu came in to buy medicine.

Gan Yu was already extremely exhausted, and she was subconsciously muttering about her work.

"The Return Machine on Tianheng Mountain has been damaged and needs repair... The treasure-hunting gang has been appearing more and more frequently lately, hunting large numbers of wild animals..."

Qiqi stared blankly at Ganyu, who had coconut horns on her head.

My thoughts were also affected by what Gan Yu was saying.

(Coconut milk, coconut sheep. Coconut sheep milk is delicious. Coconut sheep horns, a semi-divine beast. Coconut sheep are semi-divine beasts, so coconut milk is delicious. Drinking coconut milk helps you grow. Returning to the end...hunting, drinking coconut milk helps you grow.)

Just as Qiqi was lost in thought, Gan Yu finally found the prescription on his person and handed it to Qiqi to get the medicine.

After Gan Yu paid and left, Qi Qi was still looking at the coconut horns on her head, thinking about the coconut milk.

The next day, the instruction I remembered was simply wanting to drink coconut milk, which overlapped with what Gan Yu had been saying.

Because of my poor memory, the instruction became using the "Return Machine" to hunt "Coconut Sheep" and then I could drink coconut milk.

This is why Qi Qi had Zhong Li and his group use the Returning Machine to hunt coconut sheep.

Seeing Qiqi happily drinking coconut milk, Huiyuan couldn't help but feel happy too.

Just then, Mimi ran out.

After finishing her coconut milk, Qiqi casually tossed the empty bottle aside and prepared to go to sleep. But then she suddenly saw the familiar Mimi and perked up again.

"You are...you are...Qiqi's friend. Qiqi remembers you."

Previously, when Huiyuan brought Mimi to Bubulu for treatment, Qiqi noticed Mimi and they quickly became friends.

It's not because Mimi is cute or anything, it's just that very few animals come to Bubulu for treatment, after all, Baizhu isn't a veterinarian.

In addition, most animals stay away from her as a zombie, so Qiqi rarely comes into contact with animals. Because she doesn't often interact with cats and dogs, she became familiar with Mimi after taking care of her for a month.

During that month, Mimi went from being somewhat afraid of Qiqi's corpse aura at first, to gradually getting used to it, and then becoming familiar with it. She even started to like this little zombie who healed her.

To prevent Qiqi from scratching Mimi while petting the cat, Baizhu trimmed Qiqi's sharp nails.

Qiqi, who was petting the cat, looked at Lingling's appearance.

"you are?"

Huiyuan reverted to her original appearance, hoping that Qiqi would remember her. But unfortunately, Qiqi couldn't remember who Huiyuan was at all.

"I am Huiyuan, and I am also Mimi's good friend."

Upon seeing this, Qiqi took out her notebook and found the annotation on the page about Mimi.

It reads: "Mimi is a good friend. Mimi is a black cat. Mimi is not afraid of Qiqi. Mimi's good friend is named Huiyuan."

"I remember now, you're the older brother next to Mimi. But why were you the older sister just now?"

After reverting to her original appearance, her body no longer unconsciously emitted the aura of wind element. Qiqi felt a comfortable aura of wind element, but it suddenly disappeared, which was rather strange.

After Huiyuan switched back to Lingling's state, Qiqi suddenly realized what was going on.

(Big sister, that's like big brother. Big sister's scent is so comforting, and she even gives Qiqi coconut milk. Big sister is a good friend.)

Then Qiqi picked up a pen and wrote down Lingling's characteristics in her notebook, and also made a special note that Huiyuan could transform.

"Coconut milk, it's delicious. You're Qiqi's good friend. Qiqi, I can't forget you."

Qiqi pressed two fingers of each hand against her temples, trying to memorize Lingling's appearance. But the result was obvious: apart from Lingling's signature wind elemental aura, she remembered nothing else.
