Genshin Impact [Outsider]

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yan Wu, and I'm the captain of the Sha Village Border Patrol Team." The captain set up four tables in total. He sat at one table with Xiao Zheng and Su Li, while the rest of the team members each chose a table to sit at.

Each table was served a bottle of wine, and the captain had already filled a glass for Su Li. Originally, he didn't like drinking much, after all, the taste was too strong, but today he was really hungry, so Su Li picked up a glass and drank it directly into his stomach, intending to relieve his hunger.

You won't know until you drink it. This mellow wine tastes really good. It's not strong, and there's a unique sweetness in the alcohol. After Su Li drank the glass, he couldn't help but praise, "This wine tastes really good!"

Captain Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Su Li's praise. "Haha, our wine is made from sand apples, and with the traditional winemaking method and some recipes, we have the current taste."

After listening to this, Su Li thought for a moment and asked, "Is the business booming in Xingji?"

Captain Yan drank a glass of wine and shook his head, saying, "No, no, we are just doing some small business. After all, there is only a small area along the coast that is barely habitable. If you go further in, it is just an endless desert. Few caravans are willing to come to our place."

Su Li nodded slightly. The store owner had already served a few appetizers. Su Li ate a few mouthfuls and drank a glass of sand wine. The taste was indescribably wonderful. "Has no one considered doing business here?"

Captain Yan also took a sip of wine. As the saying goes, truth comes out when drunk, he did not hide anything and said directly to Su Li: "It's not that there is no such thing, but later on, I don't know what happened, the people above did not allow large-scale private enterprises to appear."

Captain Yan looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders and continued, "If you want to do business, you must first go to Xingcheng to apply for a Level 1 license, and you must get permission from the royal family before you can proceed."

Su Li then realized that it was not that the people did not want to develop commerce on a large scale, but that their rulers restricted their development. So he asked, "How can I get the first-level authority?"

"Level 1 authority?!" Captain Yan looked at Su Li in surprise. "Only those who have made great contributions to this country can get it, or they can get the approval of Lord Miao."

Su Li nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The dishes were served one by one, and Su Li could not care about anything else, and he just wolfed them down. The delicious food on the table made Su Li feel like he was in a paradise on earth, and his taste buds were completely conquered by these dishes.

Su Li ate a full meal, and only put down her chopsticks when she couldn't eat any more. "It's really delicious!" Su Li gave a thumbs up and praised with satisfaction.

Captain Yan checked the time and said to Su Li, "The Star Festival Martial Arts Competition is about to begin. Do you want to participate?"

Su Li affirmed: "Sure, in addition to understanding the traditions of Xing Ji, I also want to meet the strong people here." Of course, Su Li also wanted to try to contact some people from the royal family in order to learn more about the actual situation of Xing Ji.

After everyone at the table had finished their meal, Captain Yan stood up and walked towards the direction of Xingji with Su Li and the team members.

Soon, Su Li saw the bustling crowd. The street they were on became more and more lively, and various stalls filled the block.

It was already dark, and colorful lights of various shapes were lit up, making the entire Star Festival area extremely bright. The crowds of people and children playing around made the Star Festival as lively as a night market, with people enjoying themselves and laughing together.

Captain Yan led everyone to the central area of ​​the Star Festival. The circular plaza here was surrounded by spectators. There was a huge star statue in the center. On the side of the plaza facing the sea, there was a magnificent Star Hall.

People were sitting in a square with a wide open area in the middle. In the center, two people were performing boxing and kicking moves against each other while the people around them were cheering for them.

"Look, it's already started here, let's go sign up!" Captain Yan pulled Su Li to the referee's seat on the side to sign up and wait to enter.

"Are you going to participate too?" Su Li asked when she saw Captain Yan had also signed up.

"Yeah, but don't expect me to play a few games. I'm not that strong. I just signed up to stretch my muscles." Captain Yan explained to Su Li with a smile. Not only Captain Yan, but almost all the members of his team also signed up.

Soon someone was defeated on the field, and then another duel began. Su Li noticed that many people were betting on which side would win the game.

Captain Yan nudged Su Li and pointed at the people in front of the Star Palace. "Look, those people sitting on the chairs over there watching are basically all members of the royal family. They will also participate and place bets. The winner takes 50% of the bets, and the remaining 50% is shared by the bettors."

Su Li asked: "Can participants place bets on themselves?"

Captain Yan saw through Su Li's little thoughts and said with a smile: "Hey, not only can you bet on yourself, you can also bet on your opponent."

"Okay, I get it. I'll bet 10,000 Mora on you when you come on stage later."

Captain Yan also laughed after hearing this and said, "Of course you can, but don't blame me if you lose. I plan to bet my savings for the year on you when you go on stage, so don't lose then."

Soon it was Captain Yan's turn to play, but in the first game the captain was evenly matched with another player and only almost won at the very end.

As soon as he got off the court, he came to Su Li with a water bottle, panted and drank a sip of water, and said with a smile: "I won this time, and I will lose the next one in nine out of ten cases."

Before the finals, the maximum amount that each person could bet was exactly 10,000 Mora. When it was Su Li's turn to play, he bet 10,000 on himself, and the spectators bet on Su Li and the opponent.

"This guy doesn't look like he's from here. I wonder if he's strong... let's bet 10,000 and see."

"Hey, this time our Jiu Ge will definitely win. Look at the guy opposite Jiu Ge. His facial features are so delicate. He looks like he was brought up in pampered condition. He doesn't have the God's Eye either. He must be just here to play around. If you bet on him, you'll lose."

"Yeah, then let's bet on the wine brother."

……

The people on the field cheered, some shouted "Jiu Ge", while others cheered for Su Li.

Su Li's physical skills were also extraordinary, and it was no problem for her to deal with ordinary people. In less than three minutes, Su Li threw the opponent twice over her shoulder and made him unable to stand up. There was no doubt that Su Li won this duel.

Because the victory was so easy, the referee even decided to skip Su Li's second game and allow her to enter the finals directly.

Captain Yan was also frightened by Su Li's physical skills. He knew that Su Li was very strong, but he didn't expect Su Li to be so strong. You know, although Jiu Ge didn't have the Eye of God, he was also very strong in fighting. Most people couldn't do anything to him. But Su Li only took a few moves to deal with this person. You can imagine how terrible Su Li's ability is.

As soon as Su Li left the court, Captain Yan and his team members surrounded Su Li to celebrate. "That's amazing! Fortunately, I wasn't assigned to the opposite side of you, otherwise I would have fallen to my death."

Su Li smiled modestly and said, "No way, if it were you, I would definitely show mercy."

"Hahahaha, brother, your shoulder throw is really amazing!" Suddenly someone cut in the crowd and walked straight to Su Li. "I really want to see what other skills you have that you haven't shown yet. I'll wait for you in the finals!" After saying that, he turned and left.

This man was more than two meters tall and had a very strong physique. Su Li also noticed that he had a purple God's Eye on his waist.

Captain Yan was also stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He said to Su Li anxiously, "It's over. That man is one of the imperial guards, the holder of the Eye of God - Hotpot." He looked at Hotpot's back as he left and continued, "What's worse is that he never shows mercy when he beats people. Those who fought with him were left with only a breath of air..."

He regretted not reminding Su Li that some of the holders of the Eye of God liked to challenge the strong, otherwise Su Li would definitely have restrained herself and not been noticed.

Su Li didn't care either, just shook her head and responded: "It doesn't matter, the holder of the Eye of God, I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

Hotpot also came on the field soon after. He took off his coat and walked into the field with a big laugh. The crowd cheered him. The man opposite him was already scared and wanted to give up the game, but if he gave up now, he would definitely be fried by Hotpot. Even if he didn't want to play, he had to bite the bullet and play.

“Hot pot—hot pot—!”

"I love you hotpot, you're so handsome!"

"I want to marry you—"

……

Even many young ladies from the royal family joined in the fun, and Hotpot shook his hair, raised his hands high, and cheered loudly: "Let me show you what a miracle is!"

After saying that, he hooked his finger at the man opposite him, indicating that he could attack.

The man had already lost his mind, and he swallowed his saliva, shaking. "Huo...Brother Huo, be gentle."

Seeing that he was reluctant to attack, Hotpot hooked his finger impatiently again, "Come on, or I'll attack you first."

The man had no choice but to muster up his courage, shout, and rush towards the hot pot. At this moment, it seemed that the outcome was already decided, and the people on the field began to cheer.

Hotpot raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and when the opponent rushed to his face and threw the first punch, Hotpot turned sideways, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and then quickly spun around, actually spinning the man up.

With a scream, the hot pot spun twice and then suddenly raised his hand and threw it to the ground. There was a loud "bang" and a big hole was instantly created on the ground. A cloud of gray smoke rose up and the man was no longer moving.

The venue suddenly became quiet. A woman in blue clothes quickly came on stage, came in front of the contestant, and a white light appeared from her palm, which was slowly injected into the contestant's body.

"Hotpot, I've told you several times to be gentler, but every time you have to clean up the mess, he would have died for sure, you know that?" The woman seemed a little angry as she complained to Hotpot.

Hotpot just grinned and said, "Oh, it was just a mistake. I didn't control my strength... Who knew he was so fragile."

The woman was speechless for a while. When the contestant who was thrown out was no longer seriously injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and had the contestant carried away. She just rolled her eyes at Hotpot and left the venue.

Su Li saw that the woman also had an Eye of God on her chest, but its color was the same blue as Wanxi's.
