Genshin Impact: Eternal Place

The next day, Qin Lan opened her eyes, got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked out the window. It was a classic beach trip encountering heavy rain.

Then he yawned and said, "Let's go to Teyvat for breakfast."

Not knowing what Shu Ling was busy with, he did not respond to Qin Lan. After a simple wash, Qin Lan came to the continent of Teyvat.

"Hmm..." Qin Lan walked along the streets of Liyue. "I heard from Zhongli that there is a restaurant run by Master Mao that serves delicious food. Where is it?"

“Zhongyuan offal, delicious and inexpensive.”

“Eat tiger fish fresh and hot!”

“Come and taste the cooking skills of Wanmintang.”

"Tang of All Peoples? This should be it."

"You can sit anywhere you want in the empty seats. If there's anything you want to eat, I can make it even if it's not on the menu."

Qin Lan had just walked into the door when she heard these words. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw a short-haired girl busy on the chopping board, processing some... ingredients that made Qin Lan feel a little scared.

"That's... Slime Condensate, Flame Flower and Jueyun Pepper, right? This dish..." Qin Lan recalled the sad experience of accidentally eating a Jueyun Pepper when she had dinner with her master in Jueyun Room for the first time. She is still scared.

"What do you want to eat, little brother?"

"Uh, let me see the menu." Qin Lan found a seat and sat down before speaking.

The waiter handed the menu to Qin Lan, "Brother, this is your first time at Wanmintang, right?"

"Huh?" Qin Lan looked at the clerk in confusion.

"Wanmin Tang's old customers basically don't want menus." The clerk responded with a smile.

"Is that your chef?"

The waiter looked in the direction of Qin Lan's finger. "Are you talking about Miss Xiangling? She is the daughter of our boss. She is already a famous chef in Liyue City at a young age. Aren't you a native of Liyue, sir?"

Qin Lan was slightly stunned, as if someone had asked the same question a long time ago.

"Xiangling, make me a serving of golden shrimp balls. Well, I've been busy all day, so I'll take a break at noon." A girl with a purple cat head walked into the wooden door of Wanmin Hall, took a quick look, frowned slightly, looked at Qin Lan and asked, "Hello, can I sit here?"

Qin Lan nodded and said, "Of course."

Then he turned to the waiter and said, "One boiled fish, one tender pepper chicken, and one rice."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"Boy, can you eat so much by yourself?" Shu Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"I thought you were missing. Why, if I can't finish it, can you help me eat some?"

"(*￣m￣), I don't want to bother with you. I am accomplishing a great cause. Who would be like a loser like you?"

"Keqing, please try your golden shrimp balls. Are you free later? Go out for a walk with me?"

Keqing shook her head and said, "No, I have to patrol tonight. The Lantern Festival will start soon, and there are still many things to do."

"Okay then, eh? A new face, buddy. Would you like to try the new dish I made? It's free." Xiangling suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Lan and asked.

"Well...if you mean the Jueyun peppers fried with flame flower stamens, then forget it."

"Huh? Eh baba ba." A strange sound came into Qin Lan's ears.

"This is?"

A little bear-like creature stood beside Xiangling. "His name is Guoba. I met him one time when I was out gathering ingredients. He has been following me ever since. Hehehe, Guoba is very cute and can breathe fire. He is my best helper on my road to becoming a famous chef."

"Ah baba ba, ah le." Guoba muttered to Qin Lan.

"It's Mark Hughes. I didn't expect him to become like this. Well... even if he has degenerated into a pot crust, he still can't leave this stove." Qin Lan thought silently in her heart.

"Sir, your food is here."

"Boiled fish and tender pepper chicken?" While Qin Lan and Xiang Ling were talking, a plate of golden shrimp balls had already entered Keqing's stomach. Keqing looked at the dishes that had just been served, swallowed her saliva and said.

"Ah, Keqing, how can you only eat so little at noon?" Xiangling said angrily, "You exhausted yourself, but no one can take your place."

"Hmm? If you don't mind, let's eat together. Just think of it as making friends. Xiangling, get another portion of rice."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Ah? No no no, um..." Hearing Qin Lan's words, the purple cat head quickly refused, then hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, my name is Keqing, Yuheng among the Seven Stars of Liyue."

“Is this the current Yuheng Star?” Qin Lan took a look, reached out and held her hand and said, “Hello, my name is Qin Lan, the first generation head of the Wangsheng Hall.”

"Ah?" Keqing said in surprise.

"Just kidding. I'm Zhongli's friend. I originally wanted to apply for a guest position, but unfortunately, because of that guy Zhongli, I was rejected by Hu Tao." Qin Lan sighed helplessly.

"Pfft, Mr. Zhongli?"

"Eh? Are you talking about Zhongli? He's a frequent visitor to our house, but he didn't come today." Xiangling came over with a bowl of rice, sat on a chair and continued, "Mr. Zhongli is a wise man with extensive knowledge and talents. He can identify any ingredient. It would be nice if there was someone like him who would taste food for me every day..."

Qin Lan thought silently in her heart: This is only Zhongli, if it were someone else, he would have been gone long ago.

"Oh? It seems that I came at the right time today." Speak of the devil, and the devil will appear. Zhongli slowly stepped into the gate of Wanmin Hall. Qin Lan's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Waiter, please bring two more dishes."

"Mr. Zhongli."

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli."

"Did you bring any money?"

"Huh? Aren't you treating us today?" Zhongli glanced at Qin Lan with a smile, obviously seeking revenge for Qin Lan's sneaking away last time.

Qin Lan took a quick look and saw that there seemed to be fewer customers in the restaurant. She then looked at Xiangling and said, "Come over and have some food. By the way, bring up your new dish. Zhongli said he wants to try it."

Zhongli stopped drinking his tea abruptly, "When did I say that... Oh, okay."

"By the way, please accompany me somewhere later." Zhongli said to Qin Lan.

"Mmmm, okay, let's eat first and talk after we're done." Qin Lan said vaguely while eating.

The four of them had a hearty meal. Qin Lan was really impressed by Zhongli, who could eat such food and even gave some suggestions.

"Then I'll go on patrol first, and we'll celebrate the Lantern Festival together in a few days."

"Then I'll go clean it up."

Qin Lan looked at Zhongli and said, "Let's go too."

Zhongli nodded, stood up and walked out of Wanmin Hall.

The two walked on the streets of Liyue, and Zhong Kai said, "As you said to me a hundred years ago, Liyue can't always rely on me. They should have their own strength. But at that time, Liyue still couldn't do without me. There were many things that needed me to go out to deal with."

"I think I can leave now, but before that I need you to do me a favor."

The two stopped at the door of a luxurious room. "Northland Bank? Isn't this your long-term meal ticket?" Qin Lan said, looking at the room in front of her.

Zhongli nodded without any embarrassment and said, "The signing of this contract will be carried out here. Let's go in."

…………

"Master Executor, Morax is here, and he brought with him a, um... ordinary person?"

"Hmm? Let them go to the living room."

Rosalin tidied herself up briefly, then stood up and walked towards the living room.

"As the dignified King of Rock, do you have to bring bodyguards with you whenever you go out now?" Rosalind said sarcastically.

Zhongli didn't care at all. "It's just that the signing of the contract requires his participation, so I called him over."

Qin Lan was very confused. During these five hundred years, he had seen the seven rulers of the mortal world. Could it be that the gods of some country had changed their positions?

Rosalin frowned slightly and said, "So, does the content of the contract need to be modified?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "The signing of this contract witnessed the termination of all contracts of Morax, so naturally a witness is needed. This is the purpose of his coming this time."

Rosalin waved her hand, and one of her subordinates immediately handed over a contract. "Would the Emperor like to take a look?"

"No need. I'm just going through the motions." Zhongli wrote Morax's name on the contract, then stood up and left the Northland Bank with Qin Lan.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time I sign a contract using Morax's name. After being relieved of this heavy responsibility, I feel so relieved. Mr. Yun's play is about to begin. Are you interested in going to listen to it together? There will be excellent tea available."

Qin Lan turned her head and looked at the Northland Bank. She thought that this scapegoat would have to pay the bill again. She stroked her chin and said, "Mr. Yun? Let's go over and take a look."
