Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

Yi Dou scratched his head: "It seems that Xiao Yun is participating in a test of courage."

……

the other side.

Yunling and Xiaogong searched three more places, and all they found were opened treasure chests.

Everyone in the palace was stunned. Who was so fast?

Yun Ling had a vague guess; it must be Ying and the others.

Seeing the disappointed look on Sister Xiaogong's face, she quietly lagged behind, beckoned the little raccoon with her finger, whispered a few words in its ear, and then took out some braised meat from the Eye of God space.

"It seems we won't have the chance. What a pity. I really want to taste what Xiaoyun's braised meat tastes like."

Yunling: "Sister Xiaogong, I'll cook for you after the conference."

"Hehe, thanks! But it's more satisfying to find it yourself, and it tastes even better."

Xiao Gong smiled. The God of Cookery was right beside him, and they had such a good relationship. He was sure he would be able to try this braised meat that he had never tried before.

But just as she said, the best is what you find yourself.

Yunling agreed: "Then, Sister Xiaogong, let's go to the next place."

"Uh-huh!"

……

Ten minutes later.

"Yunling, come quick! I found a treasure chest! Haha, I didn't expect there to be a treasure chest here. I guess the people in front of me didn't expect it either, so I managed to snag it."

The treasure chest smelled delicious; it must contain some amazing food.

Xiao Gong's face was full of happy smiles, and Yun Ling saw this and felt happy too.

She quietly made a gesture to the little raccoon behind her, planning to bring them treats next time she came.

Chapter 242 Dragon Lizard Assistance

The little raccoon understood and darted into the nearby woods, disappearing from sight.

Xiao Gong took out the food and presented it to Yun Ling with a smile.

"Yunling, look, these are our spoils of war, come on!"

Xiaogong looked around but couldn't find any handy alternative cutlery to use for forking food.

Yun Ling took out two forks from her spatial storage…

As a chef, it's not unreasonable to carry your own cutlery with you, is it?

Before long, a large piece of braised meat appeared on each of the two forks, and Xiaogong handed the largest piece to Yunling.

Yun Ling was indeed a little hungry. Knowing Xiao Gong's personality, she didn't stand on ceremony with him.

Although the decisive item was not found, for Xiaogong, finding this braised meat was already a perfect ending.

but…

Yun Ling was also the winner of the first round of the test of courage, and was also qualified to compete for that special grand prize.

We must work hard for the sake of Yunlingxiao Palace!

Yunling, who hadn't even finished eating, was being dragged along by Xiaogong. She wanted to say that she didn't care about the special gift, but seeing how motivated Xiaogong was, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Well, competitions are more fun when there are rivals, so she should give it her best...

……

Ying, Paimon, and Zaoyou found the fan easily, and just like in the previous round, there was an even bigger plate of braised meat next to the fan!

The three of them had already found three portions, most of which ended up in Paimon's stomach.

None of the three were very hungry, so instead of sharing the braised meat as before, they put it into Paimon's food storage container.

"Yay! We won the second round of the test of courage! If we win just one more round, we'll get that special grand prize! Hehe, I wonder what it is. I can't wait!"

Ying interrupted Paimon's fantasy at the right moment: "Be careful, or we'll end up with nothing."

Paimon chuckled: "Right now, only we are qualified to receive that mysterious grand prize, and I have always believed in you, Ying."

The two then said goodbye to Zaoyou.

Ying could tell that Zaoyou really liked Yunling's braised meat, so she took the initiative to give Zaoyou a lot. Zaoyou happily waved to the two of them.

"Keep it up, guys!"

After parting ways with Zaoyou, Ying and Paimon arrived at the Akitsu Amusement Park stall on the beach.

Here, they saw the same woman again.

Ying assumed the other party was a monster like the three kappa and didn't suspect anything. She even invited the other party to play Akitsu games together.

Paimon decides to hold a competition to see who can finish the game in the shortest time, and the winner can make a wish for the loser.

Ying, come first.

Ying always stands out in all sorts of strange competitions. Her gaming skills seem to be maxed out from the start, and she can easily pick up any game she plays.

Ying finished the game in a very short time.

When Paimon saw that Ying had finished so quickly, he instantly felt confident that the job was done.

"We've got this game in the bag! Okay, it's your turn!"

The woman nodded helplessly: "...Okay, watch carefully."

The woman finished the game at an unimaginable speed in front of Ying and Paimon.

Paimon was stunned: "Almost every move hit the mark, and it took less time than Ying! This dazzling match is making my head spin. Ying, did you see it clearly?"

Ying said admiringly, "You... are better..."

“Even if the rules change, I won’t lose to you newbies.” The woman put her hands on her hips, seemingly very confident in Akitsu Amusement.

Paimon: "Oh right, thinking about it, you're a little monster too. You guys were the ones who made Akitsu Amusement Park."

"In that case, you must be really amazing... Alright, I, Paimon, keep my word. You can make a wish. Just so you know, if we can't grant it, or if we ask you to do something bad, we won't grant it."

The woman thought for a moment and said, "A wish? I wish... I wish we would never see each other again."

Ying and Paimon were both stunned; they had just been having so much fun...

The woman exuded an eerie aura, warning Ying and Paimon that she would take their souls away the next time they met.

After the woman left, Ying and Paimon were left standing there, questioning the meaning of life.

……

Yuanxia Palace.

The man in black robes walked alone on the Great Sun Imperial Carriage.

Jiang Mumu had a deep understanding of the storyline of Abyss Palace when she played Genshin Impact, especially the achievement she obtained back then—"The Child of God is Dancing".

Once upon a time, this was the land of eternal night.

The great sage Abe no Yoshihisa created the Great Sun Palace so that everyone could see the light and the sun.

But even the darkest night cannot overcome the power of the human heart.

Abe no Yoshihiro was framed and died. The newly appointed priest pointed to a bonfire and conjured up a sun god, claiming that he had sent down the son of the sun.

Seven innocent children were treated as children of the sun and were burned in the Great Sun Palace when they came of age.

The so-called dancing was nothing more than the contorted postures of the Sons of the Sun as they were burned by flames.

The man in the black robe did not come here to express his feelings.

The deep-sea dragon lizards hidden beneath the Abyss Palace harbor deep malice towards humans, especially the two at the very bottom.

The man in black robes would only die if he faced Thor directly, and besides, he didn't need to face him directly.

The black serpent that fell in the desert and the white serpent Orobas that fell in Inazuma can be used. They don't need to be stronger than the Shadow, just enough to buy enough time.

Then open several abyss gates in various places in Inazuma and pull the two dragon lizards out; Inazuma will surely be thrown into chaos.

As for the man in black himself…

He had only one goal from beginning to end: to kill Yun Ling!

Mondstadt relied on ambushes, Liyue on encirclement, Sumeru failed, and Inazuma... relied on brute force.

This time, he will not resort to underhanded tricks, but will appear before Ying and the others openly and honestly.

Although its strength has been greatly reduced, it is still a top-tier demon god. If it can't beat Thor, can't it beat the holder of the Eye of God?

He didn't even put the Eightfold Divine Child, the black-robed man, in his eyes...

The man in black robes arrived at the location of the two dragon lizards. The dragon lizards, which were wandering elsewhere, noticed the intruder and quickly approached from a distance.

The man in black robes stretched out his right hand, and purplish-black abyssal energy surged from his hand, splitting into thin threads that wrapped around the two dragon lizards.

roar~

The dragon lizard roared and struggled violently, but was eventually invaded by the abyssal energy. Its eyes turned blood red, and it came to the black-robed man's side, prostrating itself in submission.

The man in black robes took out a long sword and slashed a hole in the space.

He went in first, followed closely by two dragon lizards.

……

Ming Shen Island.

Guarded forest.

After the second round of the courage test, the third round of the courage test began on the evening of the following day.

This time, Kanohara Heizo took the initiative to find Hotaru and Paimon, wanting to team up with them and investigate that strange woman.

The three arrived at the venue but did not find the priestess from the previous two rounds.

I only saw red lettering on a sign nearby:

Third round... Items... Hagoita...

Chapter 243 The End of the Test of Courage

The witch's disappearance added an even more eerie element to this test of courage, coupled with the previous speculations about the woman...

Paimon had a strong feeling that he must have encountered something unclean!

"The shrine maiden has disappeared! Could she have been kidnapped by a ghost?!"

Paimon looked at Sparkle in fear: "Will I be next? Waaah, Sparkle, I don't want to be separated from you!"

Ying patted Paimon's head.

Heizo: "The handwriting is messy, but there are no signs of struggle around it, which is indeed strange. But aren't there a bit too many words?"

Ying: "Did Heizo notice anything?"

Heizo: "I think the three items used in this three-round competition were probably chosen by the three parties respectively. The merchant who sponsored the funds chose dango milk, and the magistrate who provided manpower chose fans."

"【Hagoitata】, she should be the one chosen by Narukami Taisha, is there any special meaning behind that?"

Paimon is still worried:

"Never mind the meaning for now, are we really going to have a third round of the courage test? Although I'm very interested in the legendary luxury gift, I still think safety is more important!"

"How about we... um... a strategic retreat?"

Heizo: "My case isn't over yet, so I'll stay. The unknown brings fear. It's a detective's duty to find the truth within it."

Ying: "We can't give up halfway!"

Seeing that neither of them agreed, Paimon had no choice but to compromise.

The three decided to go to the place where the two first met the woman to see if they could find any clues they hadn't noticed before.

On the way, Paimon said, "Speaking of which, the third round of delicacies seems to be fried tofu, but there don't seem to be any signs here, and there's no smell of fried tofu in the air."
