Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

The storyteller who only eats three bowls a day also went on vacation today and went shopping. Without the gold medal storyteller, most of the tourists were attracted by the colorful stalls in Xiao City, and this place became a rare quiet place.

When the traveler team came with a large pile of materials to look for tables and chairs, they unexpectedly met Zhongli.

"Zhongli?" Paimon scratched his head. "No one is telling stories here today. What are you doing here?"

"As you can see, strolling around the city." Zhongli put down the teacup and took the tea tray on the table away to make more space for the materials.

Su put down the pile of things she was holding, sat down and devoted herself to working on her tattered handicraft.

"Is this... a Xiao Lantern?" Zhongli took a long time to identify it, but looking at the piece of paper that was about to break in the girl's hand, his tone was still doubtful.

“······You are so uncertain about what you are doing.” Is he also making fun of her poor craftsmanship?

Su felt her self-esteem was hurt.

Zhongli tried to save face for both parties, "Ah, because this year the Seven Stars not only prepared the Sky Lanterns event, but also strongly promoted the kite-making event. I rarely do such handicrafts, and I didn't recognize it at the time. I'm sorry."

"Hmph!" Su felt much better and lowered his head to continue pasting patches on the colored paper.

Paimon felt a headache as he looked at the colored cardboard which was becoming increasingly blurry and thick and could not let any light through at all. He turned to the almighty Zhongli for help.

"Zhongli, you are so knowledgeable, do you know of a simpler style of sky lantern?"

Although Jingming said that what he demonstrated was the simplest style of sky lantern, Su couldn't do it at all!

Isn’t there a simpler design that a three-year-old can complete independently?

“Hmm…” Zhongli also saw Su’s level of craftsmanship, and simply decided, “Then let me work with Su Xiaoyou to give it a try together.”

"I'm a novice, so if my work isn't very refined, please don't mind, Su Xiaoyou."

Finally, with Zhongli's hands-on help and remedies, Su successfully made a paper bag.

The cardboard that Su had spent a long time drawing and pasting was not wasted. He turned the paper bag upside down and added the cardboard at the bottom. He just put the luminous marrow and floating stone fragments on it before releasing it, and it could be released as a minimalist sky lantern.

"It's done!" Pai conscientiously applauded the crooked and wrinkled "paper bag lantern", "Well done!"

Su looked at the sky lantern that Jingming left for them as a reference, and then looked at the "bag lantern" in front of him...

Su: ······

Seeing the girl's dejected look, Paimon and Kong Xin became very anxious.

The child has grown up and understands the concepts of beauty and ugliness, so he is no longer easy to coax.

Paimon and Kong looked to Zhongli for help.

"In ancient times, Liyue was plagued by wars. In order to help soldiers on expeditions to identify the way home, people would light bright lanterns at night. Later, the custom of lighting sky lanterns gradually turned into a commemorative ceremony." Zhongli talked about the past.

“For the people of Liyue, the inheritance of the lights means the immortality of heroic spirits. These things that are unshakable by time are the ‘roots’ of Liyue.”

"For a sky lantern, the most important thing is the thought behind it. As for the style, it is not the most important thing."

"Well said!" Paimon and Kong applauded Zhongli together, and took Su to appreciate the "bag lantern" that she and Zhongli had just completed.

"Oh, it seems like Su's handicrafts are filled with love and care! This is the most precious thing!"

"Very unique! Even if it is placed in the sky full of lanterns, it will definitely be visible at a glance."

Su, feeling warm at the praise, looked at his own work again and could see a unique style different from the mainstream.

"I'll go buy a few more material packs," Su, who was blinded by the praise and became confident, slapped the table and stood up, "I'll arrange some for you too!"

Kong, Paimon and even Zhongli were all horrified and worked together to stop the girl.

Sora: "Handiwork is too hard! This one is enough."

Paimon: "We still have a lot of stalls to visit. We've been tired for so long, it's time to take a break!"

Zhongli: "I understand your kindness. Thank you for your concern. The weather is nice, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Zhongli said that the festive season was approaching, and he had planned to stroll through Qingce Village and pick some newly sprouted bamboo shoots to make a delicious stew.

But the hall master gave him a task and there were many things waiting for him to buy, so he couldn't get away for the time being, so...

"Oh, okay, okay. It's the bamboo shoots from Qingce Manor, right? We'll go pick them for you now!" Paimeng didn't even want to complain about the fact that Zhongli was sitting here drinking tea when he had something else to do. The most important thing now was to divert Su's attention!

——*——*——

When the traveler group was walking on the path in the mountains, Paimeng was in the mood to complain about Zhongli, "The adorable bamboo shoots, the particular Zhongli is living a refined life again, right? Ordinary bamboo shoots are not worthy of his precious tongue."

“If we pay attention to the ingredients first, the dishes will probably be more delicious.” Kong’s experience in cooking is increasing day by day.

"He can cook?" Su finally realized, "I want to eat too!"

“Hehehe.” Actually, Paimeng also wanted to eat some. She trusted Zhongli’s taste. “After we bring back the bamboo shoots he ordered, he will probably treat us to a meal.”

A group of people were walking in circles in the bamboo forest. Su paused, feeling that he had kicked something. When he squatted down and pushed aside the thick bamboo leaves, he saw a small point that was about to break through the ground.

"Ah! This is it, the budding bamboo shoots!" Paimeng immediately urged Su and Kong to dig. "They are so tender and look delicious!"

Su took out a pair of gloves and a shovel that the treasure-stealing group had lovingly donated to him from his backpack and gave them to Kong. The two of them buried their heads in the bamboo forest and dug hard. Paimon picked up the bamboo shoots they had dug out one by one and put them into the basket.

Su, who found pleasure in collecting bamboo shoots in the wild, was shoveling enthusiastically. She became more and more excited the more she shoveled. Paimon's speed in picking bamboo shoots could hardly keep up with her speed in shoveling bamboo shoots.

In the end, Kong simply stopped shoveling bamboo shoots and started filling holes instead. The ground in the bamboo forest was shoveled into pits, which became natural traps after being covered by fallen leaves.

Just as they were thinking about it, they heard the screams of a wild boar coming from the place they had just passed.

Looking back, they found that a wild boar that had been eating their bamboo shoots had accidentally slipped its hoof into the pit and broken its leg.

Su walked over, swung the shovel, and accepted the gift from nature with a smile.

The first victim was a wild boar.

Kong was speechless, and simply returned to the starting point to fill in the gaps and the holes they had dug together.

The people living in Qingce Village are either elderly or children. It would be terrible if they accidentally stepped into a pit and got injured.

Paimeng was equally speechless. Look at the efficiency of digging the pit, and then look at the agility of hunting the wild boar...

"······Su's hands-on ability is all in this area." It's better not to force yourself to do handicrafts.

After filling in the holes they had dug with Kong, Su looked at Kong eagerly and said, "I want some water." She didn't have any water in her backpack.

Sora flipped through his backpack and said, "We've finished our juice, let's continue walking up. I remember there's someone selling tea in the village."
