Chapter 27: Attracting Butterflies
“…”
Awesome!!! (broken voice)
Great! I feel so immersed in this game, I've already decided to capture Teyvat!
Ming Chong watched this cutscene and felt like he had become a legend. The Winter Solstice and Christmas kept tugging at his sanity, and his mood was a little tricky.
Ming Chong finished the Zhongyuan offal soup in one gulp and prepared to go out with confidence.
:?
[Would you like to view the post-mortem?]
No no no!
"Busy!" Ming Chong made a gesture to swat away a fly. "That kid broke through the dimensional wall and showed off to me! Humph, it's just that I just got here and my foundation is still shallow. How can I let him get ahead of me if I don't give him a chance?"
"The important thing is that we can no longer be lazy and must start taking action now! Otherwise, when will our great cause be accomplished?!"
: ...
Seeing him talk, my heart was pounding and my blood was boiling.
In fact, it was already dark outside.
Should I kidnap a few more people when I go out?
There was no further movement for a long time. Ming Chong put his hand on the door handle and fell into deep thought.
He originally wanted to go back and pick up Ruota, but there was still a problem -
Of course it wasn't because he felt guilty for having just plucked out Ruotu's scales!
But——
Ming Chong is out for a walk now, and he hasn't figured out what to do if he runs into Zhongli. If that happens, wouldn't it be a burden to bring an extra dragon?
Yes, after he reviewed all the options except Mondstadt, Ming Chong already knew that Zhongli was the Geo King.
Think of Wendy again...
——God really likes to wander around the streets!
He kept running into Zhongli in various places in Liyue Harbor these past few days!
—Luckily, I was smart…Even though it was Jiujiu who reminded me, I reacted quickly too!!
So Jiujiu reminded Mingchong that dragon is good.
Ming Chong believes in Jiujiu's reaction, and he is a good person!
However, Ming Chong has not figured out how to face the Rock King. As everyone knows, not only is his brain not very good, his acting skills are not very good either.
Well... this time the simulation is a little different. Just sticking on a beard can make the disguise judgment a great success, but just like Wendy in the simulation, Ruota is also a major landmark around him.
What's more, detecting an identity is one thing, but reading someone's expression is another! Similarly, whether a cheat code works is one thing, but whether it works well is another...
Ming Chong got a face like a little cat: I am not familiar with my superpowers yet, what can I do now?!
——You may not believe this, but I just met it today...
Ming Chong had been resentful since he'd been exposed in front of Ningguang for a split second. The thought of performing a major feat in front of someone with the simulator's memories only grew more pressing.
Ming Chong had to admit the fact that his current acting skills, which were completely natural and without any cheats, were completely inferior to the naturalness when he first met her.
It's easy to spot that Zhongli is the Geo King, because aside from the way he sits normally, he's practically the Seven Days God statue come to life!
As for knowing that Zhongli had memories, Ye Lan had ulterior motives in approaching him from the beginning. Could it be that Ming Chong still couldn't figure out that Zhongli also had ulterior motives?!
He's not stupid.
Zhongli volunteered to be the tour guide. Was it really because he was good-tempered and kind-hearted?! (Hoarse)
Impossible, absolutely impossible! (waving hands).jpg
Ming Chong, who hadn't lived long enough in Liyue during the two simulated encounters, made this more and more plausible the more he thought about it.
A grumpy, stubborn, and boring stone man like Morax must have recognized him from the beginning! He was just beating around the bush with him!
Ming Chong feels that it is becoming more and more exciting to do things in front of such people hehehehe!
The smile gradually became distorted.
So after thinking it over, he walked back and grabbed Ruota, and put the scales on his face as a simple disguise, and left the rest to the plug-in!
Ruota: Are you polite?
Before Ruo Tuo could move his body twice, Mingchong closed the door with a "kuachua" sound, and the room fell into darkness.
Ruota opened his mouth, nervous.
The next second, his Longlonggao came over, and his pair of innocent big eyes made Ruota's brain go blank.
In fact, he still hasn't figured out what's going on.
Is this thing really his son?
Is it the offspring of Rock Dragon King and Osmanthus Cake?
Ruota hugged himself in grievance, unwilling to face it.
…
As soon as Ming Chong went out, he went straight to Chihuyan. He discovered when he bought snacks last time that the little sister from Wanmin Hall was back!
The continent of Teyvat is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery... Ming Chong was quite emotional.
Wanmin Hall——
Today’s Creative Dish: Salt-grilled Lizard
"..." Ming Chong couldn't help but reveal his half-moon eyes.
Uh... no wonder the brothers in the treasure-hunting group all said not to eat creative dishes. Apart from those who are starving or have pica, no one would eat this kind of thing normally, right?
——Could it be that this little sister is actually the equivalent of Bear Grylls from Teyvat?!
——Otherwise, why does this visual feeling of cutting off the head and tail and still being able to eat it seem so familiar!
Speaking of which, what's with this impulsiveness for no reason?
——I want to see how weird this creative dish can get! I haven't tried Beijing Douzhi, West Lake Vinegar Fish, etc., how can I resist trying this thing?
"Master Mao, give me a portion of salt-grilled lizard! Please pack it up for me!"
"Wow! You have such good taste, sir!" The little sister suddenly appeared, her eyes wide and shining with gold. "Don't worry! This dish is absolutely the best I've ever tried! It's much better than the stir-fried lizard with Qingxin flowers!"
Ming Chong nodded. Actually, he was just trying it. If it didn't taste good, he would just play with it. He didn't care about the whole thing.
Hehehe, so wonderful.
After a while——
Hey, what is this? Food, take a bite.

…
Ming Chong looked at the last piece of salt-roasted lizard left in the brown paper and fell into deep thought. What is this? This is the big memory erasure technique?
But what does this smell like?!
No impression at all!
Wrap it in brown paper with awe, maybe you can use it as a rule-level killing weapon later.
Having made up his mind not to go to the area around Wangshengtang, Xiguwu and Mingxingzhai, Mingchong looked around unknowingly and found himself near the General Affairs Department.
Well... since we're here, let's do a random inspection!
Ming Chong touched the scales on his face and moved them to another position, pretending to have changed his camouflage style.
Walk in with confidence——
"Eh? Little sister, why are you here?"
"Little...kid...sister?" The other woman stopped and looked at him, an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes. "Ahem, I'm giving Da Mi and Er Mi a bath! I've been playing with them for so long, and they still haven't learned how to take care of themselves!"
Ming Chong looked at the stone lion in front of him, and then at the one on the other side. As expected, Liyue’s feng shui was so nourishing that even the stone lions had to learn to bathe themselves.
The guard at the door of the General Affairs Department shifted his gaze for a moment, then quickly recovered and ignored the two people's conversation about their illness.
"I see. Little Sister Xiao is so young, but she already has experience taking care of two children. That's truly remarkable! She's bound to be a great person in the future. Why don't we get to know each other?"
"Okay! My name is Hu Tao. Hu means eating and drinking as much as you want--" The little sister washed the rag and put on a formal posture, holding her head high and chest out, "But Tao doesn't mean naughty! Hahaha!"
Ming Chong thought for a moment, "My name is Ming Chong. Ming means self-awareness. Chong..."
Hu Tao's eyes lit up and she took over the conversation, "But it's not an impulsive rush!"
"Hahahahaha! You're wrong, it's just impulsive!" Ming Chong raised his eyebrows and laughed rudely on the spot.
"I didn't expect that I, Hu Tao, would meet my match today!" Hu Tao didn't feel embarrassed at all. She shook her head and put on a scholarly demeanor, patting him on the shoulder. "Little brother, you're quite good. I admire you very much."
Little brother...
This is a master!
"By the way, little brother, what do you want to do in the General Affairs Department? Since you call me Hu Tao sister, maybe I can give you some advice." Hu Tao simply packed up the items used to clean the stone lions, turned around and winked at him.
Ming Chong pretended to cough to keep her in suspense, then made a small beckoning with his hand, motioning her to come closer. The two of them huddled together and whispered something.
They all nodded silently in their hearts, thinking that the other party was simply a genius!
Of course, I am not bad either.
Hu Tao first secretly took off the scales on Ming Chong's face, accepted his disguise, and then stuck them back on. In fact, she had originally planned to try it on her own face.
However, Ming Chong murmured that this was his own family tradition and had nothing to do with anything else. If he wanted to disguise someone else, he probably needed more practice.
After hearing this, Hu Tao could only give up with regret, and said that next time when she had more free time, she could cooperate with him in practicing.
Mingchong quietly gave her a thumbs-up, and Hu Tao returned the gesture with an understanding look. Finally, they both nodded and walked into the General Affairs Department together.
Once you enter the door, the clerks inside seem to be living in another world, and their expressions are basically the same as if they were produced on a factory assembly line.
Ming Chong felt creepy just by looking at it. Oh my God, he always felt that the words "brother, sister, police uncle" would come out of his mouth in the next second.
This is what happens to college students without parents.
Hu Tao's powerful ability to read people's expressions was activated, and she quickly identified a target. She tugged at Ming Chong's clothes, raised her chin and gestured in a certain direction.
Looking in that direction, I saw a kind-looking, round-faced, slightly plump man with two labels on his head. He was a talented person.
Oh, no, no, this time I’m here in disguise, not to trap anyone.
——As expected of you, Little Kid's Sister! You're not wrong to call me Sister!
"Hello, sir, I'm here to apply to withdraw from the group..." Walnut quickly attacked with the Golden Crow Seal.
She immediately noticed that the officials around her had calmly slowed down their movements. Oh, this is interesting. This new acquaintance must be someone important.
"Haha, no need to be so polite, just call me Mingbo." Mingbo's expression was as gentle as ever. "But, little sister, you've already joined a group at such a young age? Or is this your brother's?"
Walnut's thoughts circled in her mouth for a moment, and then she replied with a sad look on her face, "My brother and I were together! He's mute and his brain isn't working very well. We've been dependent on each other since we were young. Then I got sick, and we had nowhere else to go, so we joined the group together."
"Okay, little sister, I think I understand." Ming Bo felt a headache after hearing this. "But I'm not responsible for handling the withdrawal procedures. But... you look underage, so you may need to come to me to submit some documents later."
"I understand, Uncle Mingbo, who do we need to look for then?"
Mingbo turned around and shouted, "Zhiyi—come here!"
