I am a male god in Liyue

"No! We've only been here for a while!"

Zhongli walked into the store and greeted everyone calmly.

Yaoyao closed the door and ran to the kitchen again.

After a while, Xia Zhi walked out and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhongli is here."

"I'm disturbing Mr. Xia."

"What are you talking about? Since everyone is here, let's start dinner."

"Ok!"

The girls helped serve the dishes, and sixteen bowls of dishes were placed on two makeshift tables.

"Mr. Zhongli, do you want to drink?"

"No, I'm just like everyone else, just drink juice."

"it is good."

Zhongli took a glass of rainbow juice specially made for him and took a sip. It tasted wonderful.

He suddenly thought of his old friend from Mondstadt.If he had tasted such a strange drink, I wonder if he would still be so addicted to alcohol...

Shaking his head secretly, Zhongli put down the cup and looked at the steamer that had just been opened on the table. The delicious aroma overflowed with the heat.

There are crystal clear crystal shrimps inside, but unlike the usual way, the crystal shrimps in this steamer actually stand up one by one, like a rising dragon.

Xiangling felt so surprised.

"Mr. Xia, what is this?"

"Crystal shrimp, but I made a little improvement."

Zhuzi couldn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

She picked up a crystal shrimp with her chopsticks and took a bite.

"Woo~ delicious!"

Zhongli saw the ingenuity of this dish at a glance. He tasted one and found it tasted better than any crystal shrimp he had ever tasted.

"It should be based on the principle that two different materials of dumpling skins, wheat and oat skins, have different degrees of expansion when heated."

Only then did Xiang Ling suddenly realize: "That's it! What an amazing idea!"

Xia Zhi "looked" at Zhongli. After tasting this luminous dish, the shiny diamond progress bar on his body suddenly increased by nearly [10%].

"Mr. Zhongli is indeed very knowledgeable."

"I can only talk about it, but I can't make such exquisite dishes."

"Mr. Zhongli, let's try some other dishes. Although they are all Liyue's famous dishes, I have made some improvements. I don't know if they suit your taste."

"Um……"

"Miss Yanfei, this is the tofu we made ourselves this morning. Do you want to try it?"

"Delicious! This doesn't seem to be meat, right?"

"It's fried soybean mince."

“No wonder the flavors blend so perfectly, I love eating it!”

"That's fine."

After Zhongli tasted the other luminous dishes on the table, Xia Zhi heard the system prompt sound in his heart.

"The progress bar has reached 100%, and you will be rewarded with a diamond treasure chest."

The second diamond treasure chest was finally obtained ahead of schedule.

Xia Zhi glanced at the inventory, remembered the [Hourglass of Time], pondered for a moment, and did not choose to open the treasure box immediately, and continued to greet everyone to eat.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while. Zhongli and Grandma Ping said goodbye and left together, but Yaoyao stayed.

Then Xiangling also took the rice cake to say goodbye. There was no holiday in Wanmin Hall today. Master Mao was still busy. She had to go back to help her father.

Xia Zhi called Xiang Ling and took out a food box from the kitchen and handed it to her. It contained some extra dishes he specially put in when cooking, and asked her to take it back to Master Mao to try.

Xiangling carried the heavy food box, feeling a little warm in her heart, and smiled and thanked her.

After cleaning up the scene and washing the dishes, everyone goes out for a walk together.

There are so many people on the street tonight, and the moon in the sky is so round.

This was the first time for Yanfei and Qiqi to participate in this kind of after-dinner activity, but their reactions to it were completely different.

Yan Fei has a generous personality and often interacts with all kinds of people. She just thinks that such group play is quite interesting.

Qiqi likes to be quiet. She usually only walks in uninhabited places. Now walking on the crowded and noisy streets, she feels a little overwhelmed and confused. Fortunately, Yaoyao beside her is holding her hand thoughtfully. The hand gave her a sense of peace of mind.

The process was the same as usual, except that I tasted less things I had never eaten before. After all, I ate so good tonight and was so full that I really couldn't eat anything else.

There were beautiful lanterns for sale on the road, so one person bought a different style and carried it in his hand.

We walked all the way to the pier and waited until late at night when the fireworks went up.

The fireworks tonight are particularly beautiful.

The blooming time is also exceptionally long.

Xia Zhi looked down at the light and shadow reflected on the sea and smiled.

Just like last time, Yaoyao came over and reached out to hold her elder brother's hand to express comfort.

Qiqi looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over and silently took Xia Zhi's other hand.

Xia Zhi smiled and gently held two small hands, one cold and one hot.

The kind-hearted little girl is so lovable.

After watching the lively and gorgeous fireworks, Gan Yu sent Yaoyao back. She would also go back to Yujing Terrace to rest tonight. After two days of vacation, she should go to Yuehai Pavilion to work as a secretary tomorrow.

Qi Qi was going back to Bu Bu Lu, so we happened to be on the way together.

Yan Fei also waved goodbye.

"I had a great time today. Let's go out and play together next time!"

"Ah."

The three of them walked slowly back to the shop as usual.

After taking a bath, Xia Zhi returned to his room, lit the soothing incense, and took out the [Hourglass of Time] he obtained today.

A small hourglass appeared in his hand.

Xia Zhi looked at it for a while and turned it upside down.

The sands of time in the hourglass began to slowly leak out.

At the same time, the smoke coming out of the incense burner suddenly stopped.

Time stands still.

Xia Zhi held the hourglass and slowly retreated back. When he was about 3 meters away, the incense burner on the table suddenly returned to normal and the smoke began to drift away.

Xia Zhi took another step forward, and the incense burner fell into silence again.

This means that the time stasis range of the [Hourglass of Time] is approximately 3 meters in radius.

Xia Zhi placed the hourglass in order, ending time and stagnating. The sand of time that had just leaked began to slowly flow back, but at a very slow speed.

Returning to the table, Xia Zhi took out a piece of paper, tore it in half, and then turned the hourglass upside down.

Back in time.

The scene in front of me was like a video being played backwards. The torn pieces of paper automatically merged together and became a complete piece of paper.

Xia Zhi "looked" at the hourglass and found that the sand of time inside was leaking much faster than before.

This means that the cost of reversing time is much greater than the cost of time stasis.

Xia Zhi placed the hourglass in order. He had basically figured out how to use this item and its effects.

Then he looked at the diamond treasure chest in the inventory, took it out first, and then chose to open it.

A pair of dark gloves appeared in front of him.

【Hand of Shadow】

Quality: Diamond.

Type: Special Equipment.

Characteristics: Poison, stealing things, stealing teachers.

Effect: Automatically master poison mastery and become a poison master; when you come into contact with the opponent, you can obtain any items carried by the opponent; when you contact the opponent, you can randomly learn an ability of the opponent (cooling time is 24 hours).

Hidden effect: The effect of two-handed skills and stealth skills is +100%.

Another piece of special equipment.

The effect is very special. Although it does not provide Xia Zhi with the ability to directly become a god like [Glory Wings], it does provide a "copying" ability with a higher upper limit.

Theoretically, given enough time, he could learn all of Zhongli's abilities from him.

However, he now has the [Hourglass of Time], which allows him to turn back time, restore the treasure chest to its original state, and draw it again.

You might get a better one, but you might get a worse one.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and gave up the idea.

This [Shadow Hand] is good enough. Its hidden effect also adds to [Hatch of Secrets] and [Massage Master]. Its growth potential is also very high. There is no need for him to gamble on other possibilities.

Xia Zhi put [Hand of Shadow] into the inventory and equipped it directly.

Special equipment will be equipped to the character panel and will not appear in reality. Of course, Xia Zhi can also display them if he wishes.

Preparing poison, applying poison, quenching poison, detoxifying... all kinds of poison-related knowledge suddenly emerged in his mind.

At the same time, the system beep sounded.

"The host already has the characteristic: breaking through the sky."

"[Hand of Shadow]'s characteristics of stealing objects and stealing teachers can be activated from a distance without touching the opponent."

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

Between characteristics and characteristics... there is actually a combination effect?

Chapter 1 The Gold Content of the Poison Master

Judging from the items that Xia Zhi has obtained so far, only gold and above qualities can have characteristics, and the relationship is increasing.

Gold items have a characteristic, such as [Fire Incense Burner], whose characteristic is "Fusion".

Platinum items have two characteristics, such as [Hourglass of Time], which has the characteristics of "time delay" and "time return".

Diamond items have three characteristics, such as [Glory Wings], which are "sky soaring", "light healing", and "sky breaking".

There is a very close relationship between characteristics and the effects of items. For example, the "fusion" characteristic of [Blazing Incense Burner] can easily blend various spices into one, greatly increasing the probability of becoming incense.

But now the sudden system beep made Xia Zhi realize that the feature was not as simple as he thought before.

The combination of the characteristic "Breaking Through the Sky" and the characteristic "Stealing Objects" actually allows the "Stealing Objects" skill to be activated through the air...

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of the teleportation anchor point. When he unlocked it for the first time, the system also made a similar sound.

"The host already has the characteristic: breaking through the sky."

"The teleportation anchor point can be forcibly used. The target location is random. Do you want to use it?"

That time it was also because of the "empty breaking" feature.

It seems that there is a compatibility between different characteristics and skills. As long as the compatibility with each other is good enough and can meet certain conditions, then the skills will be blessed by the characteristics and obtain new special effects.

If this is the case, then Xia Zhi will have a new direction to choose when acquiring extraordinary items in the future.

It doesn't just look at the effect of the item itself, but based on the main skills he currently has, select appropriate characteristics for these skills and combine them to achieve the effect of strengthening the multiplication zone.

Xia Zhi raised his hand and "looked" at the scholar's ring on his finger.

This item has the property "Amplification".
