Chapter 57, Liyue Holiday
Fugate estimates that it will take about two years to complete the power armor for Charmian without affecting the progress of other research.
His own power armor is relatively fast. Together with Shamian and making the raw materials, it can be completed in about a year.
On the contrary, Arecino's armor is more troublesome, because most of it needs to be redesigned, so it probably won't be completed until the beginning of the [plot], but the theoretical design can be done in time.
"Would you like to go to Liyue?" Fugate said to Xia Mian.
"What's the matter?" Shamian scratched his ears. He had been busy improving potions recently and hadn't taken a shower for a while. He relied on elemental power to clean his body, which caused Shamian's hair to become tangled.
"Go and enjoy yourself, eat some delicious food and so on." Fugate said, "I'll take care of your hair by the way, meet old friends and so on."
"Oh~ is that Gan Yu?" Xia Mian had interacted with Gan Yu many times when he was the servant of the Tree King.
The two still maintained a superficial exchange of letters. The contact was broken in the previous decades, but they have been in contact again in recent years, mainly because Gan Yu and Fugate met once.
"I heard that Gan Yu is a Qilin. He should be more proficient in hair care." Xia Mian said with some uncertainty.
"Ganyu is just a half-immortal." Fugate complained, "If you want to know about Jiao's care, you can ask her. This time, I mainly want you to take a rest."
"Balance between work and rest is very important. Although the accessory brain can shut down areas of the brain to achieve the effect of taking turns to rest, I modified you in this way to prevent unexpected situations during battle. I am not asking you to be a bully. .”
"But I feel this is very fulfilling." Shamian muttered.
"Okay, let's go buy some Fontaine-specific souvenirs for Gan Yu." Fugate suggested.
"Where are you going?" Arlecino, who had just completed his mission and returned to the Buffati Mansion, looked at the two of them and asked.
"Isn't it time for vacation soon? I'm going to Liyue for vacation."
Arecino all year round: "···"
Although being an executive provides many benefits, working all year round is really annoying.
Executive officers are not completely prohibited from taking vacation. Executive officers need to apply for vacation.
But the good news is that once you apply for leave, you can apply for a long period of leave.
The bad news is that Arecino is not among the executives who can take leave.
Because she still has things to do with the Hearth House. If she doesn't keep an eye on the various things at the Hearth House, those wealthy businessmen and politicians will be able to put down many super dangerous tasks.
After all, in the eyes of those wealthy businessmen and politicians, the lives of the children of Hearth House were not important, including the [Rich Man] who had worked very happily with the [Servant] before.
There is also the very unpleasant relationship between [Cock] and [Servant].
"Arecchino wants to come along?" Fugate asked.
"No, I have a few tasks recently." Arecino refused directly.
"Okay, let's go then." Fugate and Charmian shook their hands, and then went shopping.
"Skin care products, mechanical dolls, specialty medicinal materials...that's about it." Charmian handed the big and small bags to Fugate.
Fugate put it away.
In addition to gifts for Gan Yu, there are also a lot of things that the two of them will use, such as some medicinal materials to restore the body and spirit.
While he was shopping, Fugate twitched his nose and said, "Our brewed drinks seem to be selling well."
Charmian looked in the direction where Fugate was looking. Several staff from Renmomang Palace bought several large bags of brewed drinks. Most of them were in the classic flavor (bubble orange), but there was also a large bag of Sea dew flower flavor.
"Uh~ Do the staff at Momang Palace have such strong tastes?" Fugate asked in surprise.
"It should be what the Meluxin staff need." Xia Mian said, "I have seen it on the street several times before. The perception and taste of those Meluxins are very different from ordinary humans. They seem to like drinking sea water." Drink with dew flowers.”
“That’s really a lot of experience.”
Fugate seemed to have thought of something, and bought a few large packets of dew flowers to drink and put them away.
Facing Xia Mian's gaze, Fugate explained: "I bought this for Gan Yu. I seem to have heard that Qilin likes to eat herbal medicine before, and I think he also likes sea dew granules."
"Really?" Xia Mian was confused for a moment and then stopped caring.
"Then let's go to Liyue Port first, and then go to Miss Gan Yu after we take some time off." Fugate said.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the bustling Liyue Port.
"It's so prosperous. It is indeed a famous commercial port, even more prosperous than Ormos Port." Xia Mian said with emotion.
"I seem to have seen a somewhat familiar figure." Fugate touched his chin, "Forget it, he shouldn't be an important person."
"Let's rent a small yard first, and then take a good tour of Liyue Port in the past few days."
"Talking about what that thing is." Fugate looked at a floating island floating in the sky.
It seems that there is a figure of this thing in the memory... What should it be called Qunyu Pavilion? It was built by a big businessman named Ningguang, and later seemed to become the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard several Qianyanjun standing in front of a bulletin board and announcing.
"This time the Tianquan Star has been decided, and the new Tianquan Star is the big businessman Ningguang."
Well, Ning Guang is already the Seven Stars of Liyue.
"If you ask me how I know this kind of thing, I should ask the locals." Charmian said.
Then Xia Mian seduced a child with candy, and learned from his mouth that the floating island building complex in the sky was called Qun Yu Pavilion, and Qun Yu Pavilion belonged to the big businessman Ning Guang who had just announced that he had become Tianquan Star. of.
"It's really strange." Xia Mian looked at the floating island and felt very magical. "The cost of building such a large floating island should be very high, and what is its energy source?"
"It should be Liyue's specialty floating stone, and it should be Mingxia level floating stone." Fugate said, "Speaking of which, the cave here in Liyue seems to also need floating stone to build."
"This dear friend seems to be very knowledgeable." A calm voice came from the side.
Fugate looked over and said with the etiquette of a scholar, "I don't really understand it, I just studied it for a while."
"I have met this gentleman. I am Fugate, and this is my wife Charmian. She is currently a researcher and is conducting some research work."
Xia Mian also nodded to the visitor, and then performed the Sumeru ancient scholar salute.
"I am the guest of honor at the Death Hall, Zhongli, and I have met a virtuous couple." Zhongli saluted the two of them with a slight clasped fist.
The two sides had friendly exchanges, chatting about everything.
Then Zhongli left with satisfaction, because during the chat Fugate also mentioned that the two of them were on vacation.
"By the way, this guest guest is really knowledgeable." Xia Mian said with emotion.
"I always feel like I've seen this person before somewhere." Fugate muttered twice, then went to the inn and rented a small courtyard as a place to stay.
After Fugate settled down, he found this figure from his memory bank.
"Emperor of the Rock King·Traveling in the World·Zhongli"
"What are you mumbling about?" asked Charmian, who was wrapping gifts.
"Nothing, I just guessed the identity of the guest I met today."
"Oh? What's your identity?" Xia Mian kept holding on.
"There is a high probability that he is a certain immortal who lives in seclusion in Liyue Port." Fugate did not tell the truth, mainly because he was afraid that Xia Mian could not hide it, and it would be bad if it affected the boss's plan. Wait Just tell Xia Mian after leaving Liyue Port.
"What are you planning to do tomorrow?" Xia Mian asked.
This vacation lasts for seven days, and Xia Mian is still ready to have a good time.
"Go to some small restaurants to taste delicious food at noon, and then hire a few waitresses to help you take care of your hair."
"By the way, have you forgotten the nursing ointment and the like?" Fugate asked.
"I didn't forget it. I carry it with me." Xia Mian picked up his small bag.
It contained ointment specially made for Fugate, mainly because Charmian always forgot to make it for himself.
So Fugate made it for her. Every once in a while, Charmian would apply it himself, and sometimes Fugate would help apply it. It is worth mentioning that Lynette, the little cat, also uses the same hair care ointment as Shamian. The refining of this ointment is not difficult for them with a foundation in alchemy.
After all, it is just a very basic alchemical creation, which can be made by an alchemist apprentice who can operate an alchemy table.
The effect made by Fugate and the one made by Lynette are only slightly different. At most, the effect is better because the ratio is more accurate.
Fugate held Charmian and slept for a while. The feeling of his tail was indeed not as supple as before, and it needed good care.
But the most important thing in the morning is to eat. The food in Liyue is outstanding, especially at Huyan. The aroma of the breakfast here has long spread to the streets and can even be smelled in the nearest areas.
Fugate and Charmian followed the scent and came to an unknown breakfast shop.
The ingredients here are the cleanest and freshest in the entire Chihu Rock, and the chef's skills are also top-notch, so the business is very good. This can be seen from the man walking next to it who never tires of fine food and meticulous food.
After saying hello to Uncle Zhongli who was walking the thrush, Fugate and the others returned to the rented yard.
After enjoying some delicious food, he found a few waitresses from the inn who knew how to take care of hair (actually, they knew how to take care of pet hair), and then Charmian took care of his tail and ears with peace of mind.
In fact, Fugate also wanted to enjoy a massage, but unfortunately, since the completion of biological enhancement, Charmian and his body can be called true steel and iron bones (the bones contain ceramic steel components).
Massages are only good if they massage each other, other people's massages are of no use to them at all.
"Then you take care of yourself first, and I'll continue to eat something." As a being who is comparable to the original body, the food that is enough for a few dock workers in the morning is actually just enough to fill the stomach and taste it. .
They want to maintain the body's high-intensity exercise, but simple food is actually not enough. Even if they absorb elemental power through breathing methods, they can actually only maintain a little body function.
To be honest, most of the laborers in Liyue Port are physically strong, and most of them are over 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters, and 1.9 meters. However, Fugate's height of more than 2 meters still looks a bit tall among them. Stand out from the crowd.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is not like the usual tall guys, like bamboo poles.
Fugate's body is not weak at all in terms of horizontal development. After all, the net weight of his body is 230kg.
In addition to this body, what is undoubtedly more eye-catching is the scholar's clothes on Fugate.
Many Liyue people looked a little dumbfounded. After all, it could be said that they had never seen such a strong scholar.
There were also a few scholars who looked at Fugate's clothes suspiciously.
This is an enlarged and modified version of Havana's costume, with the Sulon sect's pattern on it.
Of course, there are not many people on the street, because most people have already gone to work at this time. Only some foreign tourists and some idle people in society are wandering around on the street.
"Mom, bring me a bowl of offal from the Central Plains." Fugate looked at Su Erniang who had just set up the stall and said.
"The young man is really strong." Su Erniang happily took the Maura that Fugate handed over and said.
"But you came to my place at the right time. The Zhongyuan offal here is the most authentic in Huyan." Su Erniang said with a smile.
"Although I don't know much about food, I'm good at smelling aromas and smells, so I've been waiting for it for a long time." Fugate said with a smile.
"Hey~ I didn't expect you are still a gourmet. Then let me test you, which food is the best in Huyan." Su Erniang asked, "If you can answer it right, then I won't accept this bowl from you." Zhongyuan offal money.”
"The most fragrant one is the 'Wanmin Tang' next door to you, but they do dine-in, so I plan to bring my wife over for dinner in the evening."
“Then there’s your Central Plains offal, it tastes really good.”
"From you down, the grilled tiger fish at Best Breakfast Shop, Liuwei Miscellaneous Stall, and the newly opened Kung Fu Fish Snack Stall all taste pretty good."
"Hey~ You are really a gourmet. I am stupid, so I will give you the money for free." Su Erniang said.
"Put the money away and give me another bowl."
"Okay~" Su Erniang went to prepare happily.
This catering industry is still very profitable. Although there is no profit in making another bowl, the cost of the raw materials for these two bowls is recovered. At most, it takes a little work.
Fugate finished eating the Zhongyuan offal, and then went to look at other stalls that he liked. Among them, the kung fu fish snack stall called Kuai Dao Chen was just opened.
"Have some grilled tiger fish," Fugate said.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Kuai Dao Chen said.
"Speaking of which, you are a disciple of the Guhua sect. Your sword skills are really good."
"You also know this ancient Chinese swordsmanship?" Kuai Dao Chen kept holding on.
"I also dealt with Gu Hua back then, and the fish and mutton he sells are also very delicious." Fugate said.
When he was traveling from Liyue to Fengdan in his old age, he passed by the mountain where Gu Hua lived in seclusion and created magic. He saw that Gu Hua was very skilled, so they had some exchanges.
Gu Hua warmly invited him to dinner, specializing in fish and mutton, and Fugate had a hearty meal.
But the taste has not reached its peak, just like Gu Hua's sword and gun combined in the past.
"Are you an immortal?"
"No, I just lived longer."
Kuai Dao Chen didn't say anything anymore. In addition to immortals, there were some other immortal species in the Teyvat continent.
Fugate took out a pen and paper and wrote down the recipe for Guhua fish and mutton while eating grilled tiger fish.
"That's probably what the recipe is. Unfortunately, I was a bit senile back then, so I don't remember many things clearly. This recipe contains the martial arts wisdom of Gu Hua back then. If you study it carefully, you may also understand it."< br>
"Thank you sir."
"Hmm~" Fugate nodded and finished the last few bites of grilled tiger fish, then took out the mola, put it on the table and left.
"Alas, sir..." Kuai Dao Chen was about to say that he would not accept the money, but Fugate disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What a strange person." Kuai Dao Chen said with emotion.
In fact, Fugate entered the Ten Thousand People's Hall.
Wanmin Hall has also opened at this time, but there are not many customers inside yet, because everyone is at work and they have not yet finished get off work, but it is almost over, and they will finish work in more than half an hour.
Therefore, Chef Mao, who had already made preparations in the kitchen, opened the door and prepared to welcome guests.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door and less than a cup of tea, a guest came.
But...the guests here are really tall.
"How many guests have you invited?" Master Mao asked.
"There are two guests, please order a table." Fugate said, "Give me the menu."
"Hmm~these ones."
"Okay." Master Mao nodded and muttered that this customer didn't have very good taste. It happened to be a dish that neither he nor his daughter Xiangling was very good at.
"Wait." Fugate stopped Master Mao and said, "I mean, except for these few, prepare a dish for everyone."
"? Sir, we don't want to waste food here."
"Don't worry, you can eat it." Fugate patted his belly. Although he had eaten a lot just now, most of it had been completely digested, and there was not even much waste.
After all, Fugate's current stomach can digest most substances, but there are not many that cannot be digested.
Fugate paid the deposit for the meal.
"Then when will you come so that I can prepare dishes for you?" Master Mao asked.
"I'll be here in about half an hour." Fugate said, "Time is a bit tight, Master Mao, please bear with me."
Since the small courtyard where Fugate and the others rented was not far from Chihuyan, it took Fugate about ten minutes to arrive. Shamian had already finished taking care of his hair, and the time was stuck just now. good.
"I've already ordered lunch, we can go have a big meal."
"I guarantee the taste is online."
