Xia Zhi glanced at the progress bar from God's perspective without making a sound.
The treasure chests and such don't really matter. The main thing is that Wangshu Inn is Ningguang's business, and Ningguang is one of his own. He's giving Yanxiao some pointers on cooking so that the inn's business can improve in the future.
Since Xia Zhi was cooking, she decided to make breakfast for everyone as well.
Although True Lord Lishui and True Lord Xiaoyue had already eaten breakfast, they both said that they were too tired from patrolling all night and hadn't eaten enough, so they joined everyone for another breakfast.
Grandma Ping looked at them with disdain.
"Are you two planning to stay at Wangshu Inn from now on?"
"Yes."
"When you came over yesterday, did you close the door to my house properly?"
"Don't worry, we've even closed the windows."
"We'll go back when Xiao comes back."
"Oh, right, Ping, don't you have a Liyue Bank membership card?"
Yes, there is. What's wrong?
"Let us use this place for a bit; we'll book a top-class room."
"...Here, take it."

Xia Zhi spent the entire morning in the kitchen giving instructions and laughing.
Around noon, a somewhat disheveled middle-aged man walked into the kitchen carrying a fishing basket.
"Hey, cook, what are you making today? It smells so good!"
"Jiang Xue, you freeloader, don't come here and cause trouble."
What does "causing trouble" mean?
"Hmph, he always looks like he's idling around. He won't even come to the inn to help out. He fishes every day, but I've never seen him catch a big fish."
"What? I caught some fish today. Look, there are several. I'll take them and cook them for you."
Xia Zhi glanced at the middle-aged man from God's perspective and discovered that he also had a silver progress bar on him.
Yes, going on a trip was definitely the right choice.
"These fish of yours..."
Just as Yan Xiao was about to refuse the fish in the hands of the middle-aged man named Jiang Xue, Xia Zhi suddenly spoke up and said, "It's perfect that there's fish. I'll make a squirrel fish."
"Okay, Mr. Xia, I'll go kill him right away."
Yan Xiao immediately took the fish basket and went to the side to deal with it.
This was the first time Jiang Xue had seen Yan Xiao so obedient, and she couldn't help but look at Xia Zhi with a strange expression.
"you are?"
"Just a passerby, and you?"
"Me? Just a freeloader fisherman."
"Haha, Mr. Jiang Xue is really interesting."
"Mr. Xia is also very interesting."
"Has Mr. Jiang Xue eaten yet?"
"Isn't this the very place I'm coming to beg for a meal?"
"Please sit for a while, and you can try my cooking."
"Alright."
Not long after, I got another silver treasure chest.

The instruction was supposed to last half a day, and it was indeed half a day.
In the afternoon, Xia Genzhi accompanied everyone for another stroll around the streets, where they bought a lot of things and took many photos.
That evening, everyone chatted around the fireplace. Xia Zhi, unable to resist the girls' various sweet requests, took out his Focus Guitar and played several classic pieces from their original world, receiving unanimous praise. Grandma Ping seemed to have changed somewhat as well.
Shortly after I returned to my room, someone knocked on the door.
Xia Zhi went to open the door, and outside were Xia Ci and Xia Zhen.
"Cousin, can I get a massage?"
"Come in."
"Great."
"Single room, just lie down on my bed."
"Oh."
Why are you all lying down?
"We can get massages together."
"No."
"Okay, I'll go first."
A familiar feeling of pleasure spread throughout her body, and Xia Ci closed her eyes, looking completely satisfied.
I imagine Nasita, far away, is feeling just as comfortable as I am right now.
Xia Zhen sat on the edge of the bed watching her best friend have fun.
While giving the massage, Xia Zhi told the two goddesses about the special dream he had last night.
"By the way, I think I dreamt about Dulin last night."
"Dulin?"
"That abyssal dragon?"
"It should be it."
"It's not dead yet?"
"I guess it's probably in a similar state to yours before."
"So he's on the verge of death..."
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then said.
"In my dream, I also saw a huge icy nail on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."
"That thing, it's something that was sent down by the laws of heaven."
"What is the use?"
"Well, it was used to repair the world."
"Repair the world?"
"Well, the world of Teyvat is a bit like an egg. The shell is very fragile. If someone beats too hard inside the egg, the shell will crack. Nails are used to glue the shell back together."
"I think I understand."
Repairing the world sounds amazing, it's probably a diamond item, right?
"Cousin, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking of picking up those nails to collect scrap."

Yuehai Pavilion.
The office lights were still on late at night.
Ningguang looked up from the pile of documents, rubbed her forehead, and felt somewhat tired.
It's the third day since Mr. Xia left, and I miss him.
"Hundred Knowledges".
"Lord Ningguang, what are your orders?"
"Go make a cup of instant noodles."
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, Ningguang, holding a steaming bucket of instant noodles, began to eat her late-night snack.
Sigh, on this cold night, only the noodles my husband made can bring me a little warmth.

The following morning, everyone checked out of the inn, said goodbye to the two True Lords, boarded the hovercar, and continued their unfinished journey.
