Mona: Buhou!
It was also because there was really no one else, except for Yingmei, who knew that one of Lin Qiu's teleportation anchors was at Mona's house, so the Treasure Raiders didn't even consider Mondstadt.
Mona: I'm fine!
Clearly, the heist plot was doomed before it even began, and the utterly disappointed heist crew made a regretful exit, awaiting Nordleka's return.
Normal readers don't have this much to worry about. For them, daily life is just like any other day: going to work, eating, having fun, and waiting for Qiu Cheng's new book.
Qiu Cheng's books are a must-read. Putting aside whether you're curious about the future, the main reason is that everyone is talking about them. If you don't read them, you won't even know what they're talking about.
These days, prophecy books have become 'social media books,' meaning you have to read them whether you're interested or not.
But before the story everyone was waiting for could happen, a new piece of news arrived: the prophet Qiu Cheng was going to hold a competition, a competition about summoning the Seven Saints.
Sino was excited; he was undoubtedly the first to sign up.
Yae no Miko is unhappy again because Sango no Kokoro didn't sign up!
Perhaps feeling it was unnecessary, Xin Hai did not register for these competitions, but only came to watch as a spectator.
At Lin Qiu's house, Yae no Miko said, "Is Miss 'Deep Sea Turbot' really afraid? Is she hiding in the deep sea, afraid to look at the sunlight?"
Coral Palace Heart Sea replied, "Miss 'Exquisite Fried Tofu's' provocation is as soft and weak as tofu, hmm, and incredibly smooth, anyone can see that."
Yae no Miko used a provocation tactic on Shinkai, who activated "Insight" and triggered the voice line: "A petty trick!"
Yae no Miko continued, "How about this then? If Miss 'Deep Sea Turbot' wins, I'll give you a reward."
Coral Palace Heart Sea replied, "Miss 'Exquisite Fried Tofu' is indeed quite slick-tongued. Next time you make it, try using less oil."
Yae no Miko used the 'Fox's Trick' on Shinkai again, and Shinkai activated 'See Through' once more, triggering the voice line: Your scheme has been seen through!
Finally, the two women looked at each other with smiles, their eyes blazing with a clash of red and blue light.
Lei Yingdian, who had been tricked by Lin Qiu, stood between the two and began to speak as Lin Qiu had instructed:
"Garlic bird, garlic bird, everyone has it tough."
Shenzi and Xinhai stopped fighting. They looked at Ying, exchanged glances, and burst out laughing.
Lin Qiu covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud, Lei Dian covered her eyes to avoid looking, and Charlotte was still in C, taking pictures like crazy.
I just don't know if this photo can be circulated. I hope it won't get me struck by lightning.
Lei's movies don't seem shameful; that's called being wise in a seemingly foolish way.
Lin Qiu didn't lie to me. You see, this resolved the conflict very well. As long as it works, that's fine. Lei Movie is a practical company.
Chapter 751 Seven Saints Summoning Tournament
The incident on Inazuma's side mainly involves a conflict between the two women, while on Mondstadt's side, the discussion revolves around whether or not children should be allowed to participate in the competition.
After the regional tournaments come the World Championships, and embarrassingly, two of the top three seeds from Mondstadt are minors.
Timmy and Klee looked up at Jean. Jean glanced at the third seed, Kaeya, who was smiling so brightly, but the brighter his smile, the more of a headache Jean got.
When Kaia smiles so broadly, it's usually because he's up to no good. Is it really okay to let him take these two kids to participate in international competitions?
The problem is that the Knights are really busy. They can only spare one cavalry captain, and at most they can send Noelle.
This small team really made Qin feel deeply uneasy.
My name is Qin, and I like to drink a little wine, but my name isn't Qin Jiu (琴酒). Please stop messing with me, okay?
The funniest thing is that quite a few Knights members want to take time off to watch the game. Seriously, please stop messing with me!
"Sigh, Kaiya... I'm leaving it to you." Jean finally agreed to their assignment.
It's a sporting event that can affect international reputation, so I should still participate.
Kaiya grinned and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll keep an eye on Klee and the others."
Jean didn't speak, but she hoped that Kaia could restrain himself while looking at Klee.
Liyue doesn't have as many problems, because they are the host city.
However, their first, second, and third seeds are also quite extraordinary: Hu Tao, the unconventional head of the Rebirth Hall, and Xianyun, who participated in the competition because someone said in the story that even immortals couldn't defeat them.
It's worth mentioning that Xianyun was very unhappy because she had never actually beaten Hu Tao.
There's also the third seed – Gui Zhong. Did they say the Demon God can't participate?
Yes, that's right. So the champion on Sumeru's side is not Seno, but the Great Tree King, who also participated as a regular player.
Sino was dealt a blow, but it is indeed a little difficult for humans to beat 'computers' at cards.
The third seed from Sumeru was the one that surprised everyone – it was a skirmisher.
He signed up after learning that Balzeb was participating in the tournament; even winning a game of cards is a win!
However, when he arrived at the final venue and saw the list of players, he learned that Lei Yingdian had not made it to the finals.
On Inazuma's side, the participants were Miko, Raiden Shin, and Yomiya, while Raiden had already been eliminated before this.
Funina was much luckier; as the mascot, she advanced smoothly.
There were five goddesses who signed up, and Lei Yingdian wasn't one of them. Luckily, she looks exactly like Lei Dianzhen, and Lei Dianzhen also uses her name, so people thought Lei Yingdian had advanced.
The competition in Liyue hasn't even started yet, but everyone's already had a meal together, truly embodying the principle of "friendship first, competition second."
Aikefei and Xiangling are in charge of cooking. It's quite tiring to cook for so many people, but they enjoy it immensely.
I enjoy cooking, and to be able to collaborate with someone with such high culinary skills is truly a pleasure.
One of them is good at spicy food, and the other is good at sweet food. Although their styles are different, they still work together very well.
According to the original timeline, Aikofi would have gone to Mero Petersburg on her own initiative due to some 'accident', but because of Lin Qiu's presence, the 'accident' naturally did not happen.
The reason why the "Stargazing" that Funina prepared for Lin Qiu tasted so good was thanks to Aikefei's help; Lin Qiu could be considered to have repaid that favor.
The meal was wonderful, and even though Lin Qiu's seating arrangement was a bit odd, nothing serious happened.
This disappointed Lin Qiu. Why didn't Funina and Arecino, or Sanbing and Lei Yingdian, manage to put on any show when they sat together?
Fu Ningna became bolder mainly because Lin Qiu was nearby, and besides, this was a diplomatic occasion, so she couldn't show any weakness.
However, she was still in a state where she didn't dare to straighten her arm even when picking up food.
For this reason, Arecino kindly picked out some food that she couldn't reach.
Fufu was scared, but Arecino's smiling expression made her dare not not eat. She ate it all, curled up like a little rabbit, and it was delicious.
Arecino was actually quite happy, after all, she hadn't seen Funina for a while.
The scene was harmonious, but Rosalyn and Dadalia, both executives, kept bickering.
In fact, these three people were the delegation representing Winter, as they directly selected these three who were closest to Liyue.
Rosalyn looked up: "Shouldn't the third seed be serving food to the second seed?"
D'Artagnan didn't even look at her and continued picking at his food, casually saying, "It's just a seating arrangement. You can't possibly be better than me at a real game of cards."
"Huh? You think my deck is inferior to yours?" Rosalyn said, displeased.
Her deck was actually built around Lin Qiu as the core card.
That's right, Lin Qiu. Because after the cards were made public, everyone printed them themselves, and as long as they were widely recognized, they could be used.
However, Lin Qiu's card was not printed by Rosalin, but was specially made for Lin Qiu by the two founders as a token of their gratitude.
D'Artagnan replied, "There's nothing wrong with the deck."
Rosalyn nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it.
I immediately realized something was wrong. The deck was fine, so that meant there was something wrong with me!
The two seemed to be escalating from a verbal duel to a physical one when Lin Qiu leaned close to the soldier's ear and whispered something.
The soldier's face darkened, and he said, "I would rather die than do that."
Lin Qiu sighed, "Really? What a pity. I was planning to write your story; there are so many secrets."
The stragglers jumped to their feet, glanced at Lin Qiu, and grinned.
The skirmisher walked silently between Dadalia and Rosalind, leaving the two looking puzzled.
D'Artagnan frowned. "What are you going to do? Are you going to fight too?"
Rosalyn didn't say anything, but kept a close eye on the stragglers; this guy wasn't with them anymore.
"Garlic...garlic bird..." The soldier's face turned pale, then yellow, and finally red.
"Garlic bird, garlic bird, everyone's having a tough time!" the soldier said through gritted teeth, his voice barely audible.
"?"
"?"
Rosalind and D'Artagnan looked at the skirmishers in disbelief. That statement really worked; they were now truly in no mood for a fight.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Lin Qiu and Yae no Miko stood together, one covering his mouth and laughing, the other bending over and laughing.
Lei Yingdian stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked. "So this is what I did?"
Lei's film allowed her to experience the feeling of being an observer, which was originally quite funny, but since she had done it herself, she couldn't laugh anymore.
All she wanted to say right now was: Lin Qiu!!! My beloved student, I love you!
Chapter 752 The Desert Book—Golden Dreamland
And the fox next to it... Lei Yingdian is now even starting to suspect that Yae no Miko was part of a plan with Lin Qiu, deliberately arguing with Xin Hai just to lure her out.
If she were to voice her current thoughts, Lei Dian would be truly pleased. His younger sister is indeed very clever; she just doesn't like to use her brain.
At that moment, Raiden realized she had been tricked, which is why she covered her eyes, unable to watch.
The mysterious clapping man, Kaiya, clapped his hands, knowing that this was a good opportunity and that it would be fun.
Zhongli was thinking to herself, "This trick is really effective. If I had known this trick back then, it would have saved me a lot of trouble when dealing with Guizhong and Granny Ping's argument."
This technique works better when used by someone who is usually serious and indifferent. If Zhongli had used it during the Demon God War, it would have had an immediate effect.
It's only useful for people like them; it wouldn't be very effective for Wendy or Kurumi.
Just like when Sino tells corny jokes, he always tells them seriously and expressionlessly, which achieves the 'cold' effect.
These jokes would be much more bland if told by someone like Hu Tao who loves to be funny; it's the contrast that everyone loves to see.
The soldier silently returned to his seat with his head down. Lin Qiu, you'd better keep your promise.
It can only be said that the truth holds a very high place in his heart, even above death and social death.
Lin Qiu also stopped laughing; he was standing behind Charlotte, examining the video Charlotte had taken.
"As expected of professionals, the photos are crystal clear," Lin Qiu praised.
Charlotte felt a little embarrassed. It was clear, but it couldn't be released as news.
Lin Qiu never intended to release it; he just took the photos to keep as a memento, so that everyone could revisit them in the future and create a precious memory.
However, these memories may not necessarily be pleasant ones for the people involved.
The rest of the memories are about the match the next day, where Frynn was the first to be defeated and was completely outclassed by Klee.
Are there six fire dice? How do you say there are six wild dice?
Klee isn't very good at this game, but what if she gets so lucky that she gets cards as smoothly as if she were printing them on the spot?
After Funina lost, her ahoge (cowlick) drooped, and when Aikofi comforted her, her ahoge grew longer.
Compared to Klee's match, which relies purely on luck, the match between Clarin and Seno on the side was much more entertaining.
These two, one a card player and the other a board game enthusiast, play games that are quite technically demanding.
The final venue was a dream provided by Nasita, which is why Nasita didn't register; she was the 'stage'.
The best part about playing cards in a dream world is that the cards can be visualized and even have special effects.
This is also why Kaiya worked so hard to reach the finals; he really wanted everyone to see Diluc on stage!
