Lin Qiu looked back.
Her brown hair was coiled up, and she wore black stockings.
A seemingly indifferent gaze fixed on Lin Qiu; the person who called out to Lin Qiu was Chiori.
Lin Qiu hadn't seen her during the trial, so she probably hadn't gone in to watch it.
She was most likely here at this moment looking for inspiration for new clothing designs.
Or perhaps she was there to provide costume guidance for the opera troupe that would appear later?
"Is there something you need?" Lin Qiu asked curiously.
Why would she proactively call out to me? Chiori and I are only acquainted one-sidedly, right?
He didn't think there was anything about him that could attract Chiori's attention.
Chiori wasn't interested in fortune-telling anyway.
"Excuse me, where did you buy the clothes you're wearing?" Chiori asked.
Alright, Lin Qiu finally understood why she had stopped him.
It was because of the modern clothes he was wearing.
Lin Qiu hadn't transmigrated to Teyvat as a soul; he had transmigrated physically.
That was also why Lin Qiu said he was an outsider, not a native of Teyvat.
When he transmigrated, he was naturally wearing clothes, and it was this very outfit.
Although he had bought some clothes for changing after coming to this world,
this set of modern clothing was still the most convenient and practical to wear.
Lin Qiu usually preferred to wear this set when going out.
"So, she's taken a liking to my clothes?" Lin Qiu muttered to himself.
Lin Qiu's clothes weren't extravagant, and there was nothing particularly outstanding about their design.
It was just that this style was something Chiori had never seen before.
"These clothes, well, I only have this one set, you can't buy them," Lin Qiu answered truthfully.
Indeed, they couldn't be bought, as their origin was Earth.
If Lin Qiu had a way to go back, he could certainly help Chiori buy some, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
"Only one set? Can't be bought?"
Chiori was expressionless, but her index finger lightly tapped her chin, and she tilted her head slightly, deep in thought.
She didn't know that Lin Qiu came from another world, so in her view, Lin Qiu's meaning was:
Cannot be bought, only he has this = He is the designer, and he only made this one set.
Thinking of this, Chiori took out a business card from Chiori's atelier and handed it to Lin Qiu.
"If you have time, we could exchange ideas and learn from each other."
"Exchange ideas and learn?" Lin Qiu didn't understand what Chiori was talking about.
"Yes, regarding clothing design," Chiori nodded.
She seemed very much looking forward to a clash of design ideas with Lin Qiu.
"?"
What the hell do I know about clothing design?
However, I can draw, so I'll just draw some anime character outfits then.
Speaking of which, when I was working at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I relied on my drawing skills.
His job at the time was to draw promotional images and write promotional slogans for Director Hu.
And occasionally, he would accompany Director Hu in reciting a couple of doggerel poems.
After Lin Qiu transmigrated, besides the ultimate cheat of the system, he also had a small cheat.
That was an extremely strong memory; the memories in his mind became incredibly clear.
This was also why he could write the allogene plot.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiu said, "Okay, we'll exchange ideas and learn when there's an opportunity."
Watching Chiori walk away, Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Outsiders really do have a buff, don't they?
It's only the second day since I arrived in Fontaine, and I'm almost acquainted with all the characters in Fontaine.
Should I find an opportunity to commit a crime, like stealing Furina's little cake?
That way, I could get to know Clorinde, Wriothesley, and Sigewinne.
After thinking about it, Lin Qiu still rejected this suicidal plan.
Why go to jail when there's nothing to do? It's better to meet them by chance.
Too many things happened today, and now the sky was gradually darkening.
Lin Qiu returned home but didn't rest; instead, he began to write the plot for the second chapter.
He didn't go to bed until late at night.
The release date Lin Qiu had agreed upon with the editor was two weeks later.
It needed two weeks because of the time required for reprinting and transportation.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Qiu's second chapter should also be completed within these two weeks.
By then, the first chapter would start selling, and the second chapter could also be prepared for reprinting.
When readers finish the first chapter, and the second chapter is released, what a refreshing experience for following a series!
In the following days, Lin Qiu lived quite comfortably because he no longer had to worry about money.
The next day, Xie Ni also wrote him a letter.
She informed him that the stall application had been approved and sent some documents along with the letter to Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu replied with a thank-you letter.
However, since he wasn't short on money for now, he didn't need to continue setting up a stall.
After putting away the documents, he left home and headed to the opera house.
As expected, Furina also attended this trial.
After the trial ended, Furina provided Lin Qiu with another 100 Emotion Points.
At this point, his Emotion Points had exceeded a thousand.
"System, exchange for Hydro element power and a Vision model," Lin Qiu said upon returning home.
(Has storage space)
"Exchange successful, 1100 Emotion Points deducted."
Hydro element power required 1000 points, while the Vision model required 100 points.
If he wanted to exchange for a second element power, the Emotion Points required would increase from 1000 to 2000.
A sky-blue Vision appeared in Lin Qiu's hand.
Although this Vision was realistic enough to pass for the real thing, it itself did not possess element power.
It was just a decoration.
Lin Qiu casually clipped it to his waistband, where a belt would normally be tied.
Fortunately, this Vision wasn't heavy, otherwise, his pants might fall down after just a couple of steps.
Lin Qiu eagerly began to experiment with the element power.
Lin Qiu brought his hands together and raised them, and a tiny water dragon... a water snake ascended.
The small water snake was about thirty centimeters long, and its width was only five centimeters.
It wasn't even as big as Itto's bull.
"This..." Lin Qiu was a little disappointed.
He had thought he would become much stronger after gaining element power.
Now it seemed that the ATK of this small water snake might not even be much stronger than a water gun.
Looking at it this way, Furina truly was a genius.
She had just obtained her Vision and immediately flooded her entire house.
Even if Lin Qiu wanted to flood his house, he couldn't do it.
Not to mention Furina's three Hydro element constructs.
Those three constructs could not only exist for a long time but also possessed intelligence, which was simply incredible.
"Sigh, it's a long and arduous journey," Lin Qiu said, manipulating the water flow.
The reason he chose Hydro as his first element power was also to help Navia as quickly as possible.
Finding evidence of Vacher through a large-scale search was not feasible, as Vacher would surely discover it.
If he searched alone, it would require a long time searching in the deep sea.
During the search, he would have to face dangers and also avoid being discovered by Vacher.
For this, Lin Qiu needed to master Hydro element power.
"Hmm, if that's the case, I'll go find some Blubberbeast to practice on."
Lin Qiu decided to go outside the city to find some Blubberbeast.
Blubberbeast are sluggish on land and almost never fight back.
Coupled with their Hydro resistance, they were the best choice for Lin Qiu to practice his Hydro element power.
Of course, he didn't intend to kill the Blubberbeast; after all, they were so cute.
He just wanted to practice the feeling of attacking with element power.
Thus, in Lin Qiu's daily routine, besides going to the opera house to collect Emotion Points,
an additional item was added: going out of the city to bully Blubberbeast.
