Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

After thinking for a while, Zhongli stood up and walked to Falushan's side.

After taking a few glances at the draft in Falushan's hand, Zhongli recognized the mechanism that had been troubling Falushan.

Coincidentally, the creator of this mechanism was none other than the immortal from Liyue, Lord Liuyunjiefeng.

She has profound attainments in mechanical engineering. For ordinary mortals, even just copying the drawings step by step is an extremely difficult task, let alone understanding the principles.

Therefore, the two books, "Research on Ancient Liyue Mechanism Artifacts" and "Collection of Contemporary Liyue Mechanism Art", both divide Liyue mechanism art into two parts.

They are respectively man-made mechanical technology and immortal mechanical technology.

Generally, artificial mechanisms have detailed drawings and explanations of the principles, and some are interspersed with multiple illustrations to facilitate readers' research and study.

But when it comes to the chapter on the immortal family's mechanical techniques, the amount of information is much less than the previous one.

Basically, we can only guarantee a blueprint, and most of them cannot even provide an explanation of the principles.

And Falushan was trying to understand the principles of this immortal mechanical technology with just a blueprint.

And figure out its design ideas and the interactions between its various components.

Obviously, this is not an easy task.

After observing Falushan for a while behind her, Zhongli coughed lightly, attracting Falushan's attention.

"Excuse me, young lady."

"My name is Zhongli, and I know a thing or two about Liyue's mechanical arts. I saw that Miss is very knowledgeable about this, so I wonder if we could discuss this a little bit?"

"Eh?"

Falushan glanced at Zhongli in surprise. He looked calm and reserved, and did not seem like a reckless person.

After a little thought, he nodded slightly and let Zhongli sit down next to him.

"Mr. Zhongli, you are a native of Liyue. I wonder if you know anything about the fairy mechanism. I really don't understand the working principle of the fairy mechanism recorded in these pages of the book." (??﹏??)

After Zhongli sat down, Falushan asked him her questions.

Zhongli took Falushan's draft, asked for a pen from the waiter of the teahouse, circled a few places on the draft, and handed it back to Falushan.

"This young lady is very smart and quick-witted. The hypothesis she has come up with is very close to the answer. Given time, I believe she will be able to understand its principles independently."

"It's just that this mechanism has many parts, and it takes a lot of time and effort to study it. It's inevitable that there will be times when your mind won't work. I have marked the slightly flawed parts. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to understand the principle of this mechanism on your own."

Taking the draft handed to her by Zhongli, Falushan lowered her head to study it.

After a moment, she came to an epiphany, and Falushan's frown relaxed.

"Mr. Zhongli, you are amazing! You have a very deep understanding of Liyue's mechanical arts!"

"Miss, you are too kind. I am a few thousand years older than you, but I have just spent more time on research."

On this day, under the guidance of Zhongli, the living fossil, Falushan's research level on Liyue's mechanical arts skyrocketed.

It was not until the sun set and it was close to the agreed time with Chao Ke that Falushan stood up and said goodbye to Zhongli.

Just before leaving, Falushan suddenly thought of something and asked Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, you are so knowledgeable, I wonder if you have heard of [Chains of the World]?"

Zhongli's body shook, and the hand holding the teacup trembled, almost spilling the tea in the cup.

He looked at Falushan with serious eyes and asked.

"Miss, where did you get the name [Chains of the World]?"

Falushan was stunned and said, "I heard about it from my...lover. I heard that it was a token given to the Rock King by a demon named Guizhong."

As he spoke, Falushan suddenly reacted.

"Wait, could it be that this story is not well-known in Liyue Harbor?"

Zhongli exhaled, "I haven't heard of the names of [Chains of the World] and 'Return to the End' for many years. I'm sorry that I can't answer the question raised by the young lady."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhongli. I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Falushan had no more questions and was about to leave, but Zhongli suddenly asked a question.

"Miss, could you tell me the name of your lover?"

Looking at Zhongli's sincere expression and after a day of getting along with him, Falusan felt that Mr. Zhongli was not a bad person, so she told Zhongli Chao Ke's name.

After Falushan left, Zhongli said nothing and made no movement. He just sat there silently.

Zhongli only came back to his senses when the teahouse staff reminded him that proofing was about to begin.

He picked up the teacup and drank the tea that had already cooled down in one gulp.

Autumn tea has lost the fragrance it had when it was first tasted, and what reaches the taste buds is only a hint of bitterness.

"In the end..."

"Another wear and tear..."

----------------

【Wanmintang】restaurant.

After jogging all the way, Falushan finally arrived at the meeting place that the two had agreed to meet when they went out within the agreed time.

Looking at this restaurant with slightly bleak business, Falushan was a little puzzled as to why Chao Ke chose to set up the restaurant here.

But since he was the one who decided the position, I'll just have to wait.

So, Falushan squatted on the street bored, picked up a branch and gestured something on the road.

"I don't know if that pervert has a high IQ. He designed it too difficult. It would be terrible if he can't open it."

"Or, design it simpler..."

Just as Farusan was daydreaming, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance in the air.

"What does this taste like... [Traditional Coconut Charcoal Cake]?"

There is no doubt that there is only one person who can recreate this taste in Liyue.

Sure enough, when Falushan looked up, she saw Chao Ke's figure.

Chao Ke, who was holding the dishes, looked at Falushan who was squatting on the ground, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

I can't control myself anymore. I have to do this.

Chao Ke leaned over and looked at Falushan and said.

"Are you here to pull shit?"

"Snapped!"

A branch was thrown at Chao Ke's face.

Falushan clenched her white fists and looked at Chao Ke with gritted teeth.

He put the plate in his hand on the table and hugged Falushan towards Ke.

"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. Go wash your hands, it's almost time for dinner."

Considering that Chao Ke specially made the coconut charcoal cake, Falusan snorted coldly and stopped being angry with Chao Ke.

At this time, Xiangling came out from the kitchen, put the food away, and tugged at Chao Ke's clothes curiously.

"Brother Chao Ke, is this sister the lover you mentioned?"

"Yes."

After all the dishes were served and everyone was seated.

Chao Ke introduced Falushan and Master Mao, father and daughter, to each other, and also told Falushan that he had become Master Mao's apprentice and was learning Liyue cuisine.

After everyone got to know each other, the atmosphere at the table became very harmonious.

Falushan also quickly adapted to the style of Liyue Jianghu cuisine.

It is rich in oil and flavor, and some are even very spicy. Just try a few more bites and you will be able to feel the delicious taste.

However, there was a dish on the table that Chao Ke did not let Falushan eat after taking a bite.

This dish is exactly the creative dish that Xiangling came up with tonight, "Specially Made Cold Poultry Meat".

A variety of plants are creatively added to the original "cold poultry", making this dish full of color, aroma and taste.

However, after Chao Ke tried it with a chopstick, he felt a slight movement in his stomach.

Considering Chao Ke's current physical condition, he is still already in such a state, let alone the remaining few people.

Chao Ke simply took the dish away and reminded Xiangling and Master Mao not to try it again.
