"Ugh! Hah"
Lin Ze stretched, getting out of bed and starting to move around.
This wooden bed was still a wooden bed, and no amount of padding helped; it was still hard.
Lin Ze had thought he would enjoy himself for a few days before thinking about creating things from before his transmigration. He hadn't expected to encounter the first thing he couldn't stand so quickly.
Having gotten used to a spring mattress, even if it wasn't high-end, it was still incomparable to a wooden bed with padding.
If the novels I read before were true, I wonder how those predecessors endured and enjoyed this kind of wooden bed.
Could it be because Keqing is a workaholic and doesn't like to enjoy things, so this bed isn't considered a high-quality wooden bed?
"Working too hard, completely oblivious to enjoying life... it's not impossible..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Ze finished washing up and left the luxurious villa, his destination clear: Wanmin Restaurant.
Even though Xiangling wasn't there right now, Chef Mao's skills were top-notch.
As Lin Ze was enjoying his breakfast, he spotted two familiar figures.
Simultaneously, those two familiar figures also noticed Lin Ze.
They were Zhongli, sporting a new outfit, and Hu Tao, who was also wearing a new outfit.
It had to be said, although Hu Tao was a bit of a shame for being the number one pyro user in Teyvat, it didn't affect her cuteness and charm at all.
Lin Ze almost stared blankly for a moment, but thankfully, he quickly composed himself.
She's just a pretty girl, I've seen plenty of them. Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, and Yelan are all just as stunning as Hu Tao.
"Oh my~?"
Lin Ze noticed Zhongli and Hu Tao, and Zhongli, in turn, looked at Lin Ze, successfully piquing Hu Tao's curiosity.
The young man had only glanced at them, but Zhongli immediately turned his gaze, holding it for several seconds. Though he didn't say anything, based on Zhongli's character, Hu Tao knew this young man was no simple fellow.
Her eyes darted around, and an idea sparked in her mind. She lifted her foot and walked towards Lin Ze.
Zhongli, seeing Hu Tao's actions, simply sighed softly and then walked towards Chef Mao to order their food first.
"Hello, hello~ Young man, what were you looking at just now?"
Hu Tao wasn't the least bit shy. With a smile on her face, she sat directly across from Lin Ze and started a conversation.
Being able to promote Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's discounted packages throughout Liyue, Hu Tao could be called the queen of social anxiety.
Mm, a social terrorist.
"Of course, it's because of Mr. Zhongli, and also this adorable Director Hu~"
A smile also bloomed on Lin Ze's face as he stopped eating, casually teasing Hu Tao.
Social terrorist, who isn't one!
He was a major social anxiety sufferer in his previous life!
"Eh? You know me?
But I don't recognize you, young man~"
Lin Ze knowing her surprised Hu Tao.
She knew everyone in Liyue Harbor, but Lin Ze was definitely a new face.
Not from Liyue Harbor, yet he knew about her and Zhongli? That was rare.
A look of surprise quickly bloomed on Hu Tao's face.
"Wait, don't say anything yet, let this parlor master guess.
Judging by your appearance, you're not a local of Liyue, but you do look like you could be.
I'd wager one or both of your elders are from Liyue."
Waving a finger, Hu Tao began to guess, shaking her head as she spoke.
"I haven't seen you before, yet you know me. I understand now.
It must be that the old man wants to return to his roots, to return to Liyue, am I right?!"
As she spoke, Hu Tao blinked, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Lin Ze. At the same time, a discount coupon had appeared in her hand without her even realizing it.
"Obviously, you must have inquired about me beforehand.
This is a discount coupon from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. With this coupon, you can enjoy a half-price discount on the second tombstone.
Sir, I wonder where you reside? I'll waive the cost of going abroad!"
Saying this, she waved the discount coupon in her hand at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze was speechless.
[As expected of you, Hu Tao.]
[The first thing she does is try to sell me a coffin, and then she seriously concocts a family background for me. Her imagination is truly boundless.]
[I wonder if Hu Tao has a dungeon. If she does, what will her reaction be when she sees Zhongli's true identity?]
Lin Ze, after complaining about Hu Tao in his diary as an introduction to today's entry, was about to explain when Hu Tao spoke again.
"Of course, it'd be a complicated feeling~ So, you're Lin Ze. If I remember correctly, you can make exquisite clothes out of leaves.
This outfit I'm wearing seems to be one of yours. Really? Can I watch you do it in person?"
Hu Tao didn't want to use the information gap to play tricks on Lin Ze. Instead, she was more curious about how Lin Ze could use leaves to make such exquisite clothes.
"Not surprising, or rather, I should have guessed it long ago. Taking the goods is all I can do."
"I guess everyone I know by name has one, right?"
Lin Ze was a little surprised to see Hu Tao lay her cards on the table, but not entirely.
That girl, Hu Tao, was a clever one; even Zhongli couldn't handle her.
And, even though Hu Tao had revealed her identity, she hadn't put away the discount coupon. Instead, she'd placed it in front of him.
It was clear she was determined to give him the coupon.
"As for making clothes out of leaves… if you have time later, and if the Director isn't busy, then it's not impossible. You know where I live, right?
You can come over in the evening if you have time, provided I haven't gone to sleep."
"Making clothes out of leaves? That's quite a remarkable thing.
Is that a technique from Mr. Lin Ze's homeland?"
Zhongli, having already ordered his dishes, had moved to where Hu Tao was and pulled up a chair to sit down.
His gaze subtly shifted between Hu Tao and Lin Ze.
After leaving yesterday, he had deliberately kept an eye on Lin Ze, knowing that Lin Ze had gone to the Jade Chamber and stayed for a long time before going to the Liuli Pavilion.
He didn't listen in on what they discussed; there was no need. Anything important would be reported to him.
But now, Hu Tao, who had been speculating about Lin Ze's identity, suddenly said her mood was somewhat complicated, as if she'd heard of Lin Ze before, and that Lin Ze could make clothes out of leaves.
This sudden turn of events, and the matter of leaf clothing, successfully caught Zhongli's attention.
Their clothes were made of leaves? What kind of technique is that? I've never even heard of it.
Can leaves actually be made into cloth, and then further into clothing?
Should I sign a contract and trade for it?
"It's just a small, insignificant ability. Only I can do it, and others can't learn it."
