The Golden Tree Standing in Teyvat World

Chapter 176 Proposal for Rock God Statue

Under Liusu's gaze, Zhenjun Gechenlang City could only bite the bullet and walked up. When facing Zhongli, she was a little afraid to look into Zhongli's eyes.

Zhongli: "."

Seeing Zhenjun Gechenlang City's dodging eyes, Zhongli knew that she had betrayed, just like Zhenjun Liuyun borrowing the wind.

He understood that although Liusu didn't want Liyue people's beliefs, the other immortals were almost fooled by her, even the Dragon King Ruo Tuo who fought with him betrayed.

"Okay, let's vote with a show of hands." Tassel said.

Under Liusu's gaze, Dragon King Ruotuo and Zhenjun Gechenlang raised their hands helplessly, while Ying raised her hands again with excitement.

Liusu said: "Look, three to two, this matter is passed."

Zhongli: "."

"Keqing." Liusu suddenly shouted.

"Master, what's the matter?" Ke Qing, who was directing the layout of the venue, trotted over and asked.

Liusu said: "Just now, all the immortals including Zhong Li agreed to a plan, that is to build a statue for the Emperor Yan."

"Ah?" Ke Qing looked at Liusu in a daze, but didn't react for a while.

"Build a statue. You know the statue. It's the kind of Mengde Fengshen statue. It must have the characteristics of a rock king. As Liyue is a trading capital, the statues we build cannot be made of ordinary stones."

Keqing asked with a dizzy head: "Then, what should I do?"

Liusu said in a serious manner: "Of course it is using Mora, and using Mora to cast a statue of the rock god that is bigger than the statue of the wind god, so as to commemorate the great achievements of the rock king."

"This, this statue can't cost tens of billions of moras?" Ke Qing exclaimed.

"I'll give you 100 billion. Anyway, I still have Mora. You can just go to Gan Yu." Tassel replied.

Keqing stroked her chin and thought: "In this case, I'll contact the other Seven Stars. It should be enough for each person to get a share, and the construction of the statue of the emperor is a big deal, and they probably won't refuse."

Liu Su said to Ke Qing with a haughty face: "Then I will leave this matter to you, it must be solid, and you can't cut corners, you know?"

"I will definitely oversee the work myself, and I won't let the god statue have any problems. After all, this is related to our Liyue's cards." Ke Qing replied seriously.

Zhongli: "."

Unexpectedly, this Yuhengxing, who verbally opposes the emperor, is the easiest to rebel. What did you say before that Liyue doesn't need the protection of the emperor?Now you are the most serious about building the statue.

Also, can you master and apprentice consider my opinion and use tens of billions of Mora to build a statue for me? Do you really dare to think that if Mora has so much to spend, why not just spend it on me?
Liusu was very happy to see Keqing cooperating with him so well, the apprentice he had taken in was indeed right, and Zhongli who backstabbed him was first class.

Thinking of this, Liusu stretched out his hand and touched Keqing's Maomao's head and said with a smile: "That's hard work. After the Chef King Competition, I'll treat you to golden shrimp balls."

"Really, really? Thank you Master!" Ke Qing said happily.

Liusu replied with a smile: "Of course it is true."

"Yeah, then I'll discuss it with Ningguang first, and see you again, master." After Ke Qing finished speaking, she bounced and left here with joy and excitement.

"Zhongli, why didn't you refute just now?" Liusu looked at Zhongli who was frowning and asked.

"I think it's pointless to refute." Zhongli replied flatly.

"That makes sense, but what kind of posture do you want to stand in? Standing, lying down, sitting, or lying on your stomach?" Liusu asked after thinking for a while.

Zhongli: "."

Zhong Li rubbed his sore head and replied, "Stand."

Now that the boat was done, but still had to choose the decoration of the boat, Zhongli still decided to prepare a decent posture. If he did it for Tassel, his own image would completely collapse. What Zhongli didn't know was that his image had begun to fade away in front of the immortals. collapsed.

"A Ping, do you have any other ideas?" Liusu asked Zhenjun Gechenlang City who was beside him with erratic eyes.

"Ah? Ah? No, I didn't!" Zhenjun Gechenlang City hastily refused, and was almost revealed by Tassel's sudden question.

"Where is Ruo Tuo?" Liusu continued to ask.

Ruo Tuo stroked his chin and replied, "If possible, build a smaller statue of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo next to it."

"I'm afraid it won't work now, because you were sealed as a dangerous person who endangered Liyue before, and you have to plan slowly later." Liusu replied after thinking for a while.

Dragon King Ruo Tuo spread his hands and said, "Then I don't have any suggestions."

"Master, Master, the King of Chef Competition is about to start, please take your seats quickly." Ke Qing hurried over and said to Liusu and the others.

"Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Ruotuo, and this bard, quickly follow me into the arena." He continued.

Zhong Li nodded and said, "Yes."

"Is it finally about to start? I can also take this opportunity to try Liyue's famous dishes." Wendy said with a smile.

"What, you just came here because you want to eat!" Paimon complained.

After hearing Paimon's words, Wendy blinked and replied, "Hey!"

"Hey, what do you mean! I'm so pissed off by the singer!" Paimon said angrily.

Yae Shenzi urged Ying, "Let's go, let's get ready."

Everyone followed Keqing to the scene of the King Chef Competition and took their seats one by one.

The judges are Ruotuo, Zhongli, Ningguang, Tianshuxing, Keqing, Liusu, and Wendy.

"Master, why don't you sit inside, I'm a little uncomfortable." Ke Qing whispered to Liu Su beside her.

"It's not right for me to sit inside, who else in Liyue has a higher status than Liyue Seven Stars." Liusu said with a smile.

"This, this." Ke Qing struggled with her small face, not knowing how to answer Tassel's topic.

Different from Ke Qing's little entanglement, Ning Guang felt like sitting next to Zhongli like a glow on her back. It was the first time she sat so close to Emperor Yan, and she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would Do something indecent.

After all the contestants and judges had arrived, and the crowd was surrounded by spectators, a girl with pink hair and clothes similar to Xiangling's style came out.

"Welcome everyone to the final scene of this year's Liyue Chef King Competition. I am the in-law who was invited by the organizing committee to be the notary and host of this competition!"

On the other side of the audience, Pai Meng said to Ying: "It's Yan Fei, she's here too!"

Yan Fei continued to explain on the field: "This year's Chef King Competition is hosted by Liyue Seven Stars and undertaken by multiple units. It is divided into two stages: preliminary selection and final."

"Competitors from various regions of Liyue first entered the pre-selection process, and each showed their talents. The two strongest contestants finally decided will be shortlisted for today's finals. This time, there will be a mysterious guest in the Chef King Competition. Wait until the finals She'll show up when the time comes."

Yan Fei explained: "Of course, this mysterious guest is not participating in the Chef King Competition, but is just friendly to compare cooking skills with the two strongest finalists. The final champion will still be born among the two contestants."

"The final will be here later, in front of everyone!"

"As a notary, on behalf of the organizing committee and all Liyue people, I would like to notarize this final."

Yan Fei said this, cast her eyes on the judges' seat, and introduced: "Let's introduce the judges of this field. The judges are divided into two parts: the judges on the field and the judges off the field. There are seven judges on the field, respectively."

"Tianquan, Miss Ningguang!"

After Yan Fei said Ning Guang's name, Ning Guang faced the eyes of everyone, smiled and nodded.

"Yuheng, Miss Keqing!"

"Senior Gourmet Uncle Tian!"

"Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Ruotuo, two erudite and talented guests from the Hall of Rebirth!"

"Very famous bard from this mond, Wendy!"

"And there is the tassel girl who participated in the friendly competition!"

"Why is Tassel participating in the competition as a friendship? Obviously her status is not ordinary?" Paimon scratched his head and said to Ying.

Ying replied blankly: "Maybe she is too lazy to choose a name."

After hearing Ying's answer, Paimon said with a confused face, "Yes, is that so? Should I say, is this indeed a tassel?"

"In addition to these seven, the organizing committee will also select [-] people from the crowd watching the game to taste the dishes made by the contestants and vote."

"That is to say, there are 27 judges on and off the field, and 27 valid votes will be cast for two contestants. The one with the highest number of votes will be today's champion!"

Paimon applauded from below: "Wow, it looks good!"

"The following is the entrance of the contestants that everyone is looking forward to! I invite you two!"

After Yan Fei finished speaking, Xiang Ling and Yan Xiao walked onto the stage together.

"Standing on the left are the contestants of this year, and the Dihuazhou competition area selects the seed contestants--Dao Xia Sheng Xiang, Quick Knife Chef, Yan Xiao!"

After Yan Fei introduced Yan Xiao, Yan Xiao hurriedly greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, hello everyone"

Paimon asked Ying puzzled, "Wow, Yan Xiao has also entered the finals! But what happened, he looks so nervous..."

Touching her chin, Ying analyzed, "Maybe it's because of the big scene, maybe Yanxiao hasn't experienced it before."

"Yanxiao——! Show your skills, you are the pride of the boss and shopkeeper!"

Paimon's sudden yelling made Ying, who was standing beside her, move away from her in silence, and looked up to look elsewhere, pretending that I didn't know her.

"Ah?! Oh, oh...!" Hearing Paimon's words, Yan Xiao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Standing on the right is the contestant of this field, and the Liyuegang competition area selects the champion of strength—Hurrying like rain, Master Chef, Xiangling!"

Hearing Yan Fei introducing herself, Xiang Ling smiled and waved to everyone.

"—and her mysterious helper partner, I don't know who!"

Although his name was not called, Guoba still happily jumped up and greeted everyone.

Paimon stood in the audience and complained dissatisfiedly: "It's rice crackers!"

Yan Fei glanced at Xiang Ling and Yan Xiao and said, "Please follow me and swear: As a finalist for this year's Chef King Competition, I will go all out and complete the competition process fairly."

Xiangling said with a natural face: "As a finalist for this year's Chef King Competition, I will do my best to complete the competition process fairly."

Unlike Xiangling, Yan Xiao said nervously: "Uh, as a finalist for this year's Chef King Competition, I will do my best to complete the competition process fairly."

"And I will also witness the finals in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and openness."

"Huh? Where's the special guest? Why didn't you see it?" Paimon asked suspiciously.

Yan Fei explained: "Hehe, the special guest will wait for the two contestants to decide the winner before appearing. After all, according to her, there will be no minor accidents if she doesn't do this."

"So that's the case? It seems that Ying still has self-knowledge." Hearing Yan Fei's words, Paimon nodded and said.

Yae Kamiko said with a smile on the side: "No, no, Ying has no self-knowledge. If she could, she would definitely play directly. It should be that woman who made this decision."

"Yes, is that so? And Son of God, why are you here?" Paimon asked suspiciously.

"Hey, I don't know anyone else in Liyue except you, so I have to go and prepare for Ying, so I have no choice but to find you." Yae Shenzi replied.

"God, Son of God?"

"what?"

Hearing the sound, Yae Shenzi turned his head suspiciously, and just after he finished talking about someone Li Yue didn't know, he was caught by an acquaintance.

Yae Shenzi turned his head to see Gan Yu, and shouted happily: "Sister Gan Yu?"

"No, don't call me elder sister, I'm sorry." Gan Yu said embarrassingly scratching her head.

Yae Shenzi replied with a smile: "Isn't this called a habit? And you are so much older than me, it's normal to call me elder sister."

"Son of God, why are you here?" Gan Yu asked suspiciously.

"The thing is like this." Yae Shenzi briefly told Gan Yu the ins and outs of how he came to Liyue.

Gan Yu nodded and said: "So that's the case, then I wish you all a good time."

"I'm very happy. I haven't seen you for a long time. Sister Gan Yu, you are still exactly the same as before. There is no change at all." Yae Shenzi said.

"You are different. You were a little fox back then. If I hadn't noticed your aura just now, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you." Gan Yu replied.

While the two were talking, Yan Fei on the stage also continued the process of the game.

"Next, I invite the judge, Miss Ningguang, to announce the theme of this year's finals!"

Condensation: "."

"Don't be nervous, just pretend we don't exist." Zhong Li said calmly from the side.

Although you are the king of rocks, but if you say that you are not nervous, can I not be nervous?Also, when you don't exist, how dare I?
Ningguang stood up stiffly, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for coming to the finals of this year's Chef King Competition. I am Tianquan Ningguang."

"On behalf of the organizer, the scientific key word proposed for this final is: the instrument of land and water."

Paimeng said to Yingjie: "Food and mountains and rivers, rituals of land and water...It fits well with the theme of this Moon Festival."

"There is both land and water, and it feels very deep."

Ying: "Ah yes yes yes!"

Ning Guang continued: "The rules are very simple, the winner is king. The dishes for the competition can be favored by the judges, or you can win the hearts of everyone on the field with your ability."

"Then, I look forward to the performance of the two of you."

After Ning Guang finished speaking, Yan Fei took over the topic and explained: "The cooking time for this final is one hour, and both parties use various ingredients provided by the organizer to complete the dishes. There is no problem."

After both contestants nodded, Yan Fei continued: "I announce that the final of this year's Liyue Chef King Contest--start!"

As soon as Yan Fei's voice fell, the scene of the Chef King Competition erupted into warm applause.

Ying shouted to Xiangling on the field: "Xiangling, come on."

"Yeah, I will, don't worry!" Xiangling replied with a smile: "Hey...Thank you for watching my competition. Don't worry, I will try my best to make the most delicious food!"

Paimon also shouted to Yan Xiao on the field: "Yan Xiao, you have to work hard!"

"Understood, don't worry, I will show a [-]% level." Yan Xiao replied.

"Master, who do you think will win?" Ke Qing leaned over again and asked Liusu in a low voice.

"I don't know either. I haven't eaten Yanxiao's dishes. For Xiangling, it's okay." Liusu replied.

"So that's the case, but I hope Xiangling can win, hehe." Having said this, Keqing smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Master, is it a bit bad for me to be like this? I was biased from the beginning."

Liu Su said lightly: "Your thoughts are natural, and people tend to lean towards the side they like. Only when you don't know both of them can you be truly fair. You only need to have a clear conscience when you do things in the future. Others I won't bother asking."

"Yeah, I see, thank you Master for teaching me." Ke Qing nodded happily after listening to Liu Su's words.

Xiang Ling and Yan Xiao were busy on the field. After the rice cake sprayed fire, they went up to Yan Xiao to greet him, which was noticed by others.

Yan Fei hurried forward and said: "Hmm? Please wait a moment, something surprising seems to have happened on the field!"

"The mysterious helper carried by Xiangling seems to have gone to help the opponent! Judges, is this reasonable?"

"Although we have known beforehand that this mysterious helper is Miss Xiangling's partner, and the judging panel also knows that the two of them are one, but what is this situation...!"

Ning Guang said, "I have no objection. Besides, that so-called helper didn't make a move either."

Tianshu didn't mind this, instead he said with a smile: "Haha... young people's games are always exciting, old man, just watch."

"What this old gentleman said is very true. As long as it doesn't cause any influence, just watch." After Zhong Li finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him again and took a sip slowly.

After hearing Zhong Li's words, Ke Qing hurriedly stood up and said to Yan Fei, "Cough...host, let me explain."

"Before the start of this final, the organizing committee has conducted an investigation on the two contestants, and can confirm that the form and behavior of the two contestants are not in violation of the rules."

"Xiangling is a very good cook, and the so-called helper beside her is actually Xiangling's partner and family."

"Xiangling's dishes are all made by herself, and only occasionally this helper is used to light the fire. In terms of Xiangling's own cooking skills, there is no difference between using a helper to light a fire and using firewood to light a fire."

"I understand the worries of everyone here. The existence of the helper dancing a mysterious dance to cheer up Xiangling's contestant is a little sudden."

"But at this moment, it is also turning to the Yanxiao player to cheer for Yanxiao, which just proves that this helper is not partial. It not only encourages itself, but also encourages the opponent. It is a fair helper."

After hearing Keqing's words, Xiangling stepped forward and explained: "Yes! The rice cake is not my foreign aid, the rice cake just likes to watch people cook! I think it must have gone there to help Yan Xiao relieve his tension."

"I can assure everyone that the rice cakes will not interfere with the game. It would be better to say...if Yanxiao can't play normally, it will be the loss of this final!"

"I once ate Yanxiao's dishes at Wangshu Inn. He is a very good chef. I hope to compete with the real him in a fair and square manner."

"So that's the case, what do you all think about this matter?" Ning Guang asked everyone in the judging panel.

Tianshu nodded and said, "I have no objection. I really admire the two of them for having such a fair competitive spirit."

Liusu replied indifferently: "I have no objection, after all, I'm here for friendship."

Wendy replied, "Me too."

Zhongli: "Me too."

Ruo Tuo: "Me too!"
