I am a male god in Liyue

But considering that the slime slime and teleportation anchor points he encountered before received feedback from the system after being touched by his hand, he speculated that the same situation may be true for language and text.

It was already a little late. Xia Zhi turned off the [Mall] panel and saw that the fire was a little small. He added some firewood to the fire, then raised his head and looked at the crane who was still looking at him.

Under the clear moonlight, the little female crane's eyes were as clear and beautiful as glass, completely opposite to his gray and dim eyes.

After a while, Xia Zhi stood up, walked towards the crane, and sat down next to her.

She couldn't understand anyway, and he had nothing to say.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes and leaned against her, feeling the softness and warmth of her feathers on his cheeks.

The crane's body stiffened slightly, then returned to its natural state.

A familiar fragrance lingered in his nose, and the sound of bells clanking in the distance was heard, and Xia Zhi gradually fell into a deep sleep.

With her by his side, he can sleep with peace of mind.

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from his sleep and found that his surroundings were empty again.

Did the little mother crane go to collect lotus pods again?

Xia Zhi rubbed his eyes, took out the toothbrush cup, and started washing.

After washing, he sat by the extinguished fire and waited quietly.

After waiting for an hour, the little female crane still didn't come back.

Xia Zhi took out a fruit and ate it alone. Then he continued to sit where he was, waiting quietly.

Until noon, the little mother crane was still nowhere to be seen.

Xia Zhi sighed softly.

It seems that the little hen crane is really gone this time.

He just flew away without saying hello.

He stood up silently, packed up, returned to the official road, and continued walking along the road.

The midday sun shone straight on his body, casting a short lonely shadow at his feet.

At the same time, outside Xia Zhi's 20-meter detection range, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was standing alone on the top of a hill near the official road, lowering his head and quietly watching him walking on the road.

The sun is gradually moving towards the west.

As Xia Zhi got closer and closer to Liyue City, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and bamboo and wood shops and small stalls with burdens hawking began to appear on both sides of the road.

Some sell tea, some sell snacks, some sell umbrellas and raincoats, some sell seasonal vegetables...

The noisy and noisy sounds filled the ears, and the popularity of the market suddenly came to his face.

Xia Zhi stood on the side of the road, as if he had suddenly fallen into the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Listening to the shouts that he couldn't understand but felt inexplicably familiar, he felt slightly dazed for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

As expected, the wilderness is not a place for people to stay, and towns are more intimate.

Xia Zhi walked on the road, slowed down, and used the divine perspective of detection to curiously look at the things being sold on both sides of the road.

Some of them he could tell what they were for and what they were made of, while others couldn't be seen at all, but it didn't affect his interest.

Coming to a new world, there are countless new things waiting for him to explore. The process itself is a rare experience.

The aroma of various snack foods floats in the air, which is a bit tempting.

Xia Zhi sniffed and took a few glances at the stall where the scent wafted over him, feeling a little hungry.

But he has no money.

He could only pretend to take out a fruit from his clothes, but actually take out a fruit from his inventory to fill his stomach first.

Occasionally, he would see black iron-colored progress bars hanging on some passers-by, but because he didn't know them, it was hard for him to strike up a conversation, so he had no choice but to give up.

At dusk, Xia Zhi finally arrived at the end of the official road - the city gate.

He stood at the foot of the city, raised his head, and looked in amazement at the tall city gate in front of him, which was made entirely of regular boulders.

Such a majestic building would have been difficult to build even in the original world with advanced machinery, and in this era of animal power transportation, it was really hard for him to imagine how people in this world could mine such large stones from the mountains. How to transport them here and stack them neatly one by one.

If it weren't for a miracle, I'm afraid the bones of countless people who died of exhaustion would be buried under this city gate.

Directly above the city gate, there are two large gilded characters engraved on it.

Those two words looked strange to him, but they must be the name of this city.

Xia Zhi stared for a moment and walked towards the city gate.

There are notices written in unfamiliar words on the wall there, most of them are in black fonts, and a small part are in red fonts.

There are also a lot of scrapped and discarded waste papers on the ground beside the wall.

Xia Zhi walked to the notice wall, bent down and picked up a piece of waste paper from the ground, and tried to touch the words on it with his fingers.

As expected, the voice of the system sounded in his heart again.

"I came into contact with a learnable text language and have searched for corresponding items in the mall."

"[Introduction to Liyue Language]: Price point 1."

"[Proficient in Liyue Language], price point 10."

“Would you like to buy learning?”

Xia Zhi looked at the waste paper in his hand, smiled lightly, and then chose to spend 1 point to buy [Introduction to Liyue Language].

There are 3 points left.

There is a strange light group in the inventory, which is what the experience book looks like.

Xia Zhi chose to use it, and the light ball disappeared from the inventory instantly.

After a moment, Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at the two large gilt characters on the city gate again. This time he easily understood its meaning.

He opened his mouth and slowly said with an authentic accent in a natural tone: "Li...yue."

Is this Liyue City?

What a nice name.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and looked at the piece of waste paper he had just picked up casually. What was written on it was the Immortal Invitation Ceremony that was held in Liyue some time ago and caused quite a stir...

"Immortal? Emperor? Lord Yan? Seven Stars? Fools? The Demon God of the Whirlpool?..." After reading, Xia Zhi threw the waste paper back to where it was and whispered to himself. "It seems that this city is not as peaceful as I thought."

Xia Zhi looked at the other notices posted on the wall.

There are missing person revelations, policy announcements, performance posters, commissioned tasks, and even preferential advertisements for an organization called "Palace of Rebirth"...

There is no information available, but it feels a bit confusing.

Xia Zhi read it briefly, then turned back and looked carefully at the notice about the "Adventurers Association".

This is a recruitment announcement. The Adventurers Association welcomes interested adventurers to complete the commission and receive rewards.

"Looking at the introduction, it looks a bit like a mercenary guild. You can go and have a look."

Xia Zhi remembered the address written above and walked in through the city gate.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun watched Xia Zhi from a distance. She waited until his figure completely disappeared from the field of vision before she slowly withdrew her gaze, gently unfolded her beautiful wings, and walked from the top of the mountain. He jumped up and flew into the clouds without a trace.

Chapter 13 Start as a new adventurer

The ground paved with bluestone is covered with traces of wind and frost, but it is still as smooth as ever.

Standing next to the city gate were several Qianyan Army soldiers on guard, wearing uniforms and holding long guns.

Xia Zhi walked past them without attracting their attention or asking.

They don't seem to check the identity of the visitor, they are just responsible for the security of the area.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Liyue Port is a place where thousands of ships and merchants gather. There are too many strangers coming in and out every day. If they really want to do an interrogation, they can't do it at all. They can only try their best to deal with the security issues in the city.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of this commercially developed port city.

Walking into Liyue City, the feeling is completely different from outside the city.

The shops with carved railings and high pavilions, the bustling crowds, and the street scene that Xia Zhi saw within 20 meters of the God's perspective he detected were much more spectacular than the small shops and stalls outside the city.

This kind of excitement made him feel as if he was back in the crowded pedestrian street during the holidays in the original world.

Especially the architectural style of the surrounding shops, perhaps because Liyue is also a vast and powerful oriental country, is very similar to the ancient architectural style of the original world.

Stone lions, paper lanterns, mahogany railings, log beams, four-corner eaves, green bricks and green tiles, square apartments, interspersed staircases...

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, and the people laughing and chatting on the street, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel more favorable towards this city.

There are many streets in Liyue, and it is easy for first timers to get lost.

Xia Zhi didn't have money to buy a map, so he walked around by himself. Finally, at a shop, he asked the boss politely for directions.

The boss pointed the direction to him very kindly.

Xia Zhi thanked him, followed the boss's guidance, walked through several streets, turned at several intersections, and finally found the Adventurers Association next to a blacksmith shop.

A girl with a hairband on her head, long bangs, and a white-green skirt was standing behind the bar as a receptionist.

"To the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurers Association!"

"Hello."

"I'm Catherine. Are you ready to accept the commission or have you already completed it?"

"No, I just want to know about your Adventurers Association."

"Were you introduced here by Tiantian?"

"Sweet?"

"Tiantian is the promoter of our Adventurers Association, the girl we introduced to you on the street."

"No, I learned that from the notice at the city gate."

"I understand. What kind of question do you want to know? I can give you detailed answers here."

"It's mainly about rights and obligations."

"There is no membership fee to join the Adventurers Association, and we do not force adventurers to perform any obligations. We only provide a convenient platform for adventurers to communicate and act as a link between the principal and the adventurers."

"No dues?"

"do not want!"

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

"Okay, I understand." Xia Zhi nodded and thought for a moment. "I want to join the Adventurers' Guild."

"Welcome to join!" Catherine took out a form and handed it over with a business smile. "You need to fill in some basic information first."

Xia Zhi did not take the form and said softly: "Sorry, I can't see. Can you fill it in for me?"

"Ah..." Catherine seemed to have noticed that his eyes were gray and lifeless now, she was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. "Of course, what is your name?"

"Xia Zhi."

"What is your age?"

"22."

"Your occupation?"

"civilian."

……

Catherine just asked briefly, without even asking him to produce documents to prove whether the information he said was true, and put away the form.

"Please wait a moment."

"Ok."

After a while, Catherine handed him a card: "This is your certificate of adventure. Please keep it. You are welcome to join the Adventurers Association again. I wish you a happy adventure!"

"Thank you."

Xia Zhi stretched out his hand to take the card. His hands were cold and it felt quite technological.
