Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chang Ming didn't know that he had been assigned by Paimon as Zhongli's searcher. At this moment, he was having morning tea with Zhongli and the others.

Yes, they still have their morning tea.

Rather than having morning tea, it would be more accurate to say that the two of them were waiting for someone.

Chang Ming was waiting for Ying and Paimon who were coming to give him something, while Zhongli was waiting for Venti who was gradually approaching.

"I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the spell book after I get the "Bud of Silong"..."

"No, it's not that I don't know what will change, but rather whether the remaining abilities can be opened to me..."

Chang Ming touched his chin gently, then reorganized his thoughts and tried to stop thinking about those things.

After all, the five sinners of Kanreya are beings whose status far exceeds that of the world of Teyvat, and there are more mysteries about them than the laws Chang Ming has ever written in his life.

Wouldn't it be troublesome to find out what their situation is?

After thinking this through, Chang Ming's heart gradually relaxed, and he looked at Hu Tao who was whispering with Funina.

"Ms. Kurumi, how was the temple fair last night?"

After hearing Chang Ming's question, Hu Tao, who was originally somewhat excited, suddenly became less excited, and the expression on her face also became a little strange.

(Hee hee → no hee hee)

"Oh, don't mention it. I went to the temple fair happily last night, but what happened? All I saw were some Fontaine merchants selling Fontaine small items."

"It's not that we don't have things from Liyue. We can find kites and handicrafts in Liyue Harbor. I'm not interested in tea."

As Hu Tao spoke, she fixed her eyes on Zhongli who was calmly drinking tea, and said unhappily:

"But Zhongli, when he saw that ten boxes of 'Songluo Fairy Buds' were half price, he bought all of them. Isn't that obviously a consumer trap!"

"If there is no demand, creating demand for you to buy things, isn't it just to make you willingly pay more money?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming's hand holding the teacup suddenly froze.

How does he feel...

It seems like Hu Tao also scolded himself?

As if knowing what Chang Ming was going to say, or as if because he hadn't finished what he just said, Hu Tao took a sip of tea before continuing:

"Oh, don't buy too many funeral services like ours from now on!"

"Not everything can be used or finished, unlike coffins and funeral supplies, which are only once in a lifetime and must be purchased sooner or later."

An indescribable look appeared on Kurumi's face, as if she was feeling sorry for Mora, and also seemed to be lamenting that "such a person can actually make money."

After all, in Hu Tao's opinion, this sales method is simply the lowest of the low.

In response to this, Chang Ming pursed his lips slightly, and then continued:

"But then again...I heard the loud gongs and drums over there last night. Wasn't there a beast dance performance? Why does Hall Master Hu look...unsatisfied?"

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Hu Tao slowly put down the cup and sighed, then said in a mature manner:

"Hey... Mr. Chang Ming, you don't know that Zhongli took me to see the animal dance performed by the dancer named Jiaming a few days ago. It was really good."

"The one last night was interesting, but still not as good as Jiaming's, so..."

Walnut spread his hands innocently and continued:

"As expected, aesthetics has a threshold. Once you see something good, you cannot stand anything that is slightly inferior."

"It's like this with all art. When there's something better, people are looking forward to something better."

"What the hall master said is very true, but the fundamental reason is that too few people understand the beast dance."

Zhongli blew away the hot air gently, then continued:

"If more people understood the Beast Dance like the Liyue Dance...then the Hall Master would never have the idea he has today."

After hearing Zhongli's words, Funina, who was sitting next to Chang Ming, seemed to be thinking about something, as if she understood something.

During this time, she was obsessed with creating a better script, seemingly ignoring the most fundamental trend.

When the prophecy is released, other creators in the opera circle will follow suit.

But in terms of the most basic performance and script accomplishment, their creations are far inferior to "Prophecy".

And most of the plays that the audience saw during this period were not as good as "The Prophecy"...

Therefore, she does not need to create a script better than "The Prophecy". The best strategy is to float back and forth on that level.

This way...she will have more time to create a play that is better than "The Prophecy".

Thinking of this, Funina's strange-colored eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.

Looking at Funina's obviously changed expression, Zhongli revealed a barely perceptible smile on his face, and then he calmly drank his tea.

It feels like the work is done and I am leaving, hiding my achievements and fame.

However, before they could continue the topic, Ying, Paimon and Wendy had already arrived at the teahouse where everyone was.

"Hey! They are here after all!"

Paimon's voice caught everyone's attention, causing them to look back.

"Hmm? The Traveler and Paimon, and--"

Chang Ming was halfway through his words when his sea-blue eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

But this shocked expression did not last long and was quickly concealed by Chang Ming himself.

The regent's ability to control his facial expressions is still very reliable.

"And this gentleman, good morning, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

Chang Ming's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened just now, but his heart was already in turmoil.

——So the person that Lao Deng said was coming to see me was Wendy? !

----

I will take a day off tomorrow to sort out the outline of the subsequent world quest volume. The Liyue chapter will be completed the day after tomorrow.

The book test results are good so far, and I should continue to write more. The first thing I'll write may be the Inazuma chapter.

that's all.
