Chapter 176: Proposed Rock Statue

Under Liusu's gaze, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun could only bravely walk up. When facing Zhongli, she was afraid to look at Zhongli's eyes.

Zhongli: "."

Seeing the evasive look in Gechenlangshi Zhenjun's eyes, Zhongli knew that she had rebelled, just like Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.

He understood that although Liusu did not want the faith of the people of Liyue, almost all the other immortals were deceived by her, and even the Dragon King Ruotuo who fought with him rebelled.

"Okay, let's vote by a show of hands." Liusu said.

Under Liusu's eyes, Dragon King Ruotuo and True Lord Gechenlangshi raised their hands helplessly, while Yingze raised her hands again with excitement.

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

Zhongli: "."

"Keqing." Liusu suddenly shouted.

"Master, what's wrong?" Keqing, who was directing the layout of the venue, trotted over and asked.

Liusu said: "Just now all the immortal families, including Zhongli, agreed to a plan, which is to build a statue for Emperor Yan Wang."

"Ah?" Keqing looked at Liusu with a confused face, but she didn't react for a while.

"Build a statue of a god. Do you know the statue of the god? It is the kind of statue of Mondwind. It must have the characteristics of the King of Rock. As Liyue is the capital of trade, the statue we build cannot be made of ordinary stone."

Keqing asked with her head dizzy: "Then, what should I use?"

Liusu said matter-of-factly: "Of course, use mola. Use mola to cast a statue of the rock god that is bigger than the statue of the wind god, in order to commemorate the great achievements of the rock king emperor."

"This, this statue of a god can't be worth tens of billions of molas if it's made?" Keqing exclaimed.

"I'll pay 10 billion. Anyway, I still have Mo La. You can just go to Gan Yu." Liusu replied.

Ke Qing touched her chin and thought: "In this case, I will contact the other seven stars. It should be enough for each person to get one share. Moreover, building the emperor's statue is a big deal, and they should not refuse."

Liusu said to Keqing with a tigerish face: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. It must be solid and you can't cut corners, you know?"

"I will definitely supervise the work personally and won't let the statue go any wrong. After all, this is related to our Liyue cards." Ke Qing replied seriously.

Zhongli: "."

Unexpectedly, Yu Hengxing, who verbally opposes the emperor, is the easiest to rebel. What did you say before that Liyue does not need the emperor's protection? Now the construction of the statue is the most serious matter.

Also, can you, master and disciple, consider my opinion and use tens of billions of molas to build a statue for me? You really dare to think about it. If you can’t spend so many molas, wouldn’t you just give it to me?

Liusu was very happy to see Ke Qing cooperating with him. The apprentice he had accepted was indeed the right one, and he was a top-notch disciple who stabbed Zhongli in the back.

Thinking of this, Liusu reached out and touched Keqing's cat head and said with a smile, "That's good work. After the King of Kitchen Competition, I'll treat you to golden shrimp balls."

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

Liusu smiled and replied: "Of course it's true."

"Hmm, then I'll go discuss it with Ningguang first. See you soon, Master." After Keqing finished speaking, she jumped away from here with happiness and excitement.

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

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

"That makes sense, but which position do you want to stand in? Standing, lying down, sitting, or prone?" Liusu asked after thinking for a while.

Zhongli: "."

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

Now that the boat is done, but there are still people to choose the decoration of the boat, Zhongli decided to prepare a decent posture. If Liusu did it, his image would completely collapse. What Zhongli didn't know was that his image had begun to fade in front of the immortal. collapsed.

"A Ping, do you have any other ideas?" Liusu asked Zhenjun Gechenlangshi, whose eyes were wandering next to him.

"Huh? Huh? No, I don't!" Gechenlangshi Zhenjun hurriedly refused. When Liusu asked her so suddenly, she almost revealed her true voice.

"Where's Ruotuo?" Liusu continued to ask.

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

"I'm afraid not now, because you were sealed as a dangerous person who harmed Liyue before. This will have to be planned later." Liusu thought for a moment and replied.

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

"Master, Master, the King of Kitchen Competition is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible." Ke Qing hurried over and said to Liusu and the others.

"Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Ruotuo, and this bard, follow me in quickly," he continued.

Zhongli nodded and said, "Yeah."

"Is it finally time 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 wanted to eat!" Paimon complained.

After hearing what Paimon said, Wendy blinked and replied, "Hey!"

"Hey, what do you mean? The singer made me so angry!" Paimon said angrily.

Yae Shenzi urged Kage: "Let's go, let's prepare too."

Everyone followed Ke Qing to the scene of the King of Kitchen Competition and took their seats one by one.

The ones at the judges' table are Ruotuo, Zhongli, Ningguang, Tianshuxing, Keqing, Liusu and Wendy.

"Master, why don't you sit inside, I'm a little uncomfortable." Keqing whispered to Liusu next to her.

"It would be wrong if I didn't sit inside. Who else in Liyue has a higher status than Liyue Qixing?" Liusu said with a smile.

"This, this." Keqing's face was tangled, not knowing how to answer Liusu's topic.

Different from Keqing's little entanglement, Ningguang felt like a light on her back when she sat next to Zhongli. It was the first time she sat so close to the King of Rocks, so she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would Make some indecent moves.

When all the contestants and judges arrived and the audience was surrounded, a girl with pink hair and clothes similar to Xiangling's style came out.

"Welcome to the finals of this Liyue Chef King Competition. I was invited by the organizing committee to be the notary and host of this competition!"

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

Yan Fei continued to explain on the court: "This King of Kitchen Competition is hosted by Liyue Qixing and hosted by multiple units. It is divided into two stages: preliminaries and finals."

"Contestants from various regions in Liyue first entered the pre-selection process, each showing their special abilities. The two strongest contestants will be shortlisted for today's finals. This time the King of Kitchen Competition will also have a mysterious guest. Wait until the finals. She will appear when the time comes.”

Yan Fei explained: "Of course, this mysterious guest is not participating in the King of Kitchen Competition. He is just having a friendly competition with the two strongest finalists on their cooking skills. The final champion will be born among the two contestants."

"The final will be held right here in front of you all later!"

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

Yan Fei said this, turned her gaze to the judges' seat, and introduced: "Now let me introduce the judges of this competition. 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, namely."

"Tianquan, Miss Ningguang!"

After Yan Fei recited Ning Guang's name, Ning Guang smiled and nodded in the face of everyone's gaze.

"Yuheng, Miss Keqing!"

"Uncle Tian, ​​a senior gourmet!"

"Two learned and talented guests from the Hall of Purity, Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Ruotuo!"

"The very famous bard who came to Mondstadt, Wendy!"

“And there’s the Tassel Girl who is participating in the friendly competition!”

"Why is Liusu competing in a friendly competition? Her identity is obviously not ordinary?" Paimeng scratched his head and said to Ying.

Ying replied expressionlessly: "Maybe she's too lazy to give her a name."

After hearing Ying's answer, Paimon said with a confused look on his face: "Yes, is that so? Should I say, is this worthy of being a tassel?"

"In addition to these seven, the organizing committee will also select 20 people from the crowd watching the competition to taste the dishes prepared by the contestants and vote."

"That is to say, there are a total of twenty-seven judges on and off the court, and the twenty-seven valid votes will be cast for the two contestants respectively. The one with the highest number of votes will be today's champion!"

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

"The following is the much-anticipated contestants' entrance! Here are two of you!"

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

"The ones standing on the left are the contestants this time. The Dihuazhou competition area selects the seed contestants - fragrance under the knife, quick knife chef, Yanxiao!"

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

Paimon looked at Ying and said doubtfully: "Wow, Yanxiao also entered the finals! But why, he looks so nervous..."

Ying touched her chin and analyzed: "Maybe it's because this is a big scene. Maybe Yanxiao has never experienced it."

"Yan Xiao——! Show your skills, you will be the pride of the boss and shopkeeper!"

Paimon's sudden shouting made Ying Momo, who was standing next to her, move a little further away from her and look up elsewhere, acting as if she didn't recognize her.

"Ah?! Oh, oh...!" After hearing Paimeng's words, Yan Xiao quickly nodded in agreement.

"The ones standing on the right are the contestants in this competition. The Liyue Port Division has selected the most powerful champion - Fierce Like Rain, Skillful Cook, Xiangling!"

After hearing Yan Fei introduce herself, Xiang Ling also smiled and waved hello to everyone.

"—and her mysterious helper partner, who knows who!"

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

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

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

Xiang Ling said with a natural look on her face: "As a finalist of this year's Chef King Competition, I will go all out to complete the competition process fairly."

Unlike Xiang Ling, Yan Xiao said nervously: "As a finalist of this year's Chef King Competition, I will go all out to complete the competition process fairly."

"And I will witness this final in a fair, just and open manner."

"Huh? Where are the special guests? Why didn't you see them?" Paimon asked in confusion.

Yan Fei explained: "Haha, the special guest will wait until the winner is determined between the two contestants before appearing. After all, she said that if she doesn't do this, there won't be any minor accidents."

"So that's it? It seems that Ying is still aware of himself." After hearing Yan Fei's words, Paimeng nodded.

Yae Kamiko said with a smile on the side: "No, no, no, Kage has no self-awareness. If she can, she will definitely play directly. It should be that woman who makes this decision."

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

"Well, I don't know anyone else in Liyue except you. Ying went to prepare, so I had no choice but to look for you." Yae Shenzi replied.

"God, Son of God?"

"ah?"

Hearing the voice, Yae Shenzi turned his head in confusion. Just after he said that Liyue didn't know anyone, he was caught by an acquaintance.

Yae Shenzi turned around and saw Gan Yu, and shouted happily: "Sister Gan Yu?"

"No, don't call me sister, I'm embarrassed." Gan Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said.

Yae Kamiko smiled and replied: "Isn't this called getting used to it? And you are so much older than me, so it is normal to call me sister."

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

"This is what happened." Yae Shenzi briefly told Gan Yu the ins and outs of how he came to Liyue.

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

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

"You are different. You were still 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 game process.

"Next, I would like to ask the judge Miss Ningguang to announce the theme of this finals showdown!"

Ningguang: "."

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

Although you are the King of Rocks, can I not be nervous if you say you are not nervous? Also, how can I dare if you don’t exist?

Ningguang stood up stiffly, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you all for coming to the finals of this year's King of Kitchen Competition. I am Tianquan Ningguang."

"On behalf of the organizers, the scientific keyword I proposed for this final is: the ritual of land and water."

Paimon said to the screenwriter: "Food and mountains and rivers, the rituals of land and water...it goes well with the theme of this moon-chasing festival."

"It has both land and water. It feels very deep."

Ying: "Ah, yes, yes!"

Ning Guang continued: "The rules are very simple, the winner takes all. You can choose the dishes that the judges like, or you can win the hearts of everyone on the field based on your ability."

"Then, I look forward to your performance."

After Ning Guang finished speaking, Yan Fei took over the topic and explained: "The cooking time for this final is one hour. 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 finals of this Liyue Chef King Competition - begin!"

As soon as Yan Fei finished speaking, the scene of the King of Kitchen Competition burst into warm applause.

Ying shouted to Xiang Ling on the court: "Xiang Ling, come on."

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

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

"I know, don't worry, I will do my best." Yan Xiao replied.

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

"I don't know. I've never tasted Yanxiao's food. As for Xiangling, it's okay." Liusu replied.

"So that's it, but I hope Xiangling can win, hehe." After saying this, Keqing smiled sheepishly.

"Master, isn't it a little bad for me to be like this? I was biased from the beginning."

Liusu said lightly: "Your thoughts are human. People tend to lean towards the side they like. Only if you don't know both of them can you be truly fair. As long as you have a clear conscience for what you do in the future, it will be fine." I won't even ask."

"Yeah, I understand, thank you Master for your teaching." Keqing nodded happily after listening to Liusu's words.

Xiang Ling and Yan Xiao were busy on the field. After Guo Ba finished spraying fire, he walked up to Yan Xiao and greeted him. This 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 brought by contestant Xiangling seems to have gone to help his opponent! Judges, please tell me if this is reasonable!"

"Although it was known beforehand that this mysterious helper was Miss Xiangling's partner, and the judging panel also knew about their two-in-one situation, what exactly is this situation...!"

Ningguang said: "I have no objection. Besides, the so-called helper didn't take action."

Tianshu didn't mind this, but said with a smile: "Haha... the competitions of young people are always exciting, old man, I can just watch."

"What this old gentleman said is absolutely true. As long as there is no impact, just watch." After Zhongli finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him again and took a slow sip.

After hearing Zhongli's words, Keqing quickly stood up and said to Yanfei: "Ahem...Host, let me explain."

"Before the start of this final, the organizing committee has investigated the two participants and can confirm that the competition form and behavior of both parties are not illegal."

"Xiang Ling is a very good chef. The so-called helper beside her is actually Xiang Ling's partner and family."

"Xiang Ling's dishes are all made by her own hands, and she only occasionally uses a helper 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. It's a bit sudden for the helper to be dancing mysteriously on the sidelines to cheer up the Xiangling player."

"But now it also turns to the Yanxiao player to cheer up Yanxiao, which just proves that this helper is not biased. It encourages itself and the opponent. It is a fair helper."

After listening to Keqing's words, Xiangling stepped forward and explained, "Yes! Guoba is not my foreign aid. Guoba just likes to watch people cooking! I think it must have wanted to help Yan Xiao relieve the tension before it came over."

"I can assure you that Guoba will not interfere with the game. Rather...if the words and smiles cannot function normally, it will be the loss of this finals!"

"I once ate Yan Xiao's cooking at Wangshu Inn. He is a very good chef. I hope to have a fair showdown with the real him."

"I see, what do you think of this matter?" Ningguang asked everyone at the judges' table.

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

Liusu replied with an indifferent expression: "I don't have any objection, after all, I'm here to participate in a friendly competition."

Wendy replied, "Me too."

Zhongli: "Me too."

Ruo Tuo: "Me too!"
