The next day, in the morning.
Xiangling came to the shop for breakfast and then said goodbye to Xia Zhi.
"Master, I'm going to the construction site to cultivate!"
"Wait, take a few kitchen utensils with you."
"May I!?"
"Hmm, it's too much trouble for you to prepare the ingredients by yourself when cooking on the construction site. Take the [Greedy Wolf Pot] with you; it can help you shred and chop the ingredients."
"it is good!"
"I'll also bring the [Spirit Treasury] and the [Demon Saint Bronzeware]. We eat fresh vegetables every day at home anyway, so we don't really need them."
"Thank you, Master! I will definitely take good care of them!"
"While spiritual practice is important, it's also important to rest and not overexert yourself."
"I know!"
"If you really feel tired, come home and take a bath, and I'll give you a massage so you can relax and rest."
"Okay! I'm off then! When I come back next time, I'll make you all some innovative dishes! The kind that glows!"
Xiangling left with Guoba on her back, looking very energetic.
Xia Zhi looked at Xiang Ling's back and inexplicably felt like he was seeing the main characters of a popular romance making a statement and planting their flag.
Xiangling, this time... she's not really going to come up with some amazing innovative dish, is she?
The construction site is in such a remote location that even ingredients have to be transported from Liyue. What could possibly be there...?
wrong……
It is precisely because that place is so remote that problems are prone to occur.
Keqing said that monsters often appear near the construction site.
To protect the safety of the construction site, Ningguang specially dispatched a team of Qianyan soldiers to guard it.
Given Xiangling's protagonist luck, it's not impossible that she might coincidentally encounter a few plump and delicious magical beasts on the road.
Xia Zhi pondered silently for a moment, then turned around and asked, "The weather is great today, the sun is shining brightly, it's not cold at all, and it's Saturday. What are everyone's plans?"
"Going to see a play?"
"Want to go shopping?"
"Come to play cards?"
……
Opinions are not entirely unified.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go fishing by the sea?"
"Hey! Boss, wanna go fishing?"
"Whether we catch fish or not doesn't matter. The main thing is to go to the beach with everyone to feel the breeze and take a walk."
"Great! Let's go to the fishing tackle shop and buy a fishing rod!"
"Ah."
Speaking of fishing rods, Xia Zhi remembered that he once opened a treasure chest and got a silver fishing rod.
[Forest Fishing Rod]: Increases fishing success rate by 50% when fishing in forest terrain.
However, he felt that the item was not very useful at the time, so he reset it with an hourglass and replaced it with a pair of silver boots.
【Windwalking Boots】: Walking speed +50%, stamina consumption -20%.
This is much more practical than a fishing rod.
They closed the shop door and went to a fishing tackle shop together.
Once everyone had chosen their favorite fishing rods, Xia Ci enthusiastically began negotiating the price with the shop owner.
Before long, the owner, wiping the sweat from his brow, saw everyone out of the shop.
Walking down the street, Zhu Zi looked at Xia Ci with admiration.
"Xia Ci, you are amazing!"
"It's alright."
"The boss almost cried just now!"
"Haha."
"We need to buy another grill."
"I think I saw it over there! I saw it when I was shopping last time!"
"Then go and have a look."
After buying the grill and other necessary items, everyone went to the port area.
There are small boats available for rent at the pier here, which can take you to the nearby beach.
This is much easier than taking a detour, and you can also enjoy the sea view along the way.
Diona lay on the side of the boat, her eyes sparkling, her ears twitching adorably, and her tail wagging cutely back and forth.
"There are so many fish underwater! Wow..."
"Has Diona never been on a boat before?"
"no!"
"You'd better sit up straight, or you'll feel dizzy."
"Really? I feel fine."
"I get seasick."
"fine!"
A few minutes later, the cat lay on the boat, pale-faced, with its ears drooping and its tail hanging limply on the ground.
"boss……"
"Ok?"
"I feel like I'm going to die."
"Not really."
"My stomach hurts so much, and my head hurts so much too..."
"Just bear with it, you'll recover quickly once you get off the ship."
"really?"
Diona looked up at Xia Zhi with pitiful eyes.
No, I'm blind, even if you were like this I couldn't see you trying to be cute...
I just can't do anything with you...
Xia Zhi beckoned to her: "Come here, let me give you a massage."
"Oh."
Diona came over, and Xia Zhi reached out to rub her stomach, then gently pressed the sides of her forehead.
Are you feeling better now?
"Ah! I really don't feel bad anymore!"
"right."
"so amazing!"
"The boss's massages are a cure for all sorts of ailments!"
"thank you boss!"
"You're welcome. You should sit down properly, or you'll feel uncomfortable again later."
"Ah."
The ship soon reached its destination.
This is a clean, deserted beach.
Zhu Zi paid the money and told the boat owner to come and pick them up in the afternoon. Then everyone took out their fishing rods and started looking for a fishing spot, finally settling on a large rock.
"Let's have a competition! Let's see who catches the most fish today!"
"Okay."
"In this way, the boss is at a disadvantage..."
"It's okay. Even though I can't see it, I can still sense the movement immediately if a fish takes the bait."
"Then let's begin!"
