"Mr. Lin Ze went to the Yu Teahouse? Alas, what a pity. The Yunhan Troupe is out performing, and even if we returned now, it'd be dark before we reached Liyue Harbor.
Looks like we won't get to meet this time."
In Qingce Village, Yun Jin sighed helplessly as she looked at the records on the diary copy.
Young, fair-skinned, and with a voice that was unmatched in opera, everyone in Liyue Harbor respectfully called her "Ms. Yun."
But, at the end of the day, she was just a girl in her youth.
She'd been curious about Lin Ze for a long time, not just because of the diary copy, but also because of Lin Ze's Black Flag Power.
Too bad, it seemed they wouldn't meet this time.
Lin Ze had already arrived near Qingce Village when she came to Liyue Harbor. The performance hadn't ended yet, so she couldn't go back.
She could only look forward to the next time.
Fortunately, she had a good reputation in Liyue. When she returned, she could go find Hu Tao. It wouldn't be difficult to see Lin Ze if she wanted to.
On the other side, Lin Ze had already left the teahouse. He didn't like listening to the storyteller's books without the Yunhan Troupe's performance.
He felt it wasn't as good as Tian Tie Zui's storytelling. So, Lin Ze planned to go listen to Tian Tie Zui's stories.
He could also go to Wanmin Restaurant for lunch at noon. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
While listening to the stories and drinking tea, and to distract himself, Lin Ze began to update his diary.
This Tian Tie Zui's storytelling skills are much better than the ones at Yu Teahouse.
"If it weren't for the Yunhan Troupe's connection to the Yu Teahouse, it probably would have closed down long ago?"
"That's the life, isn't it? Relaxing, listening to stories at the teahouse."
"I'll listen to the stories while updating the Geng Encyclopedia, and write a short story on the side."
"Let me think... what should I write?"
"Fine, I'll write about 'Don't Look Down on a Poor Youth'."
"That's well said, 'Don't Look Down on a Poor Youth'... wait, 'Don't Look Down on a Poor Girl'!
One day, everyone in Liyue Harbor will definitely accept rock and roll!"
Pfft, suddenly I thought, 'Don't Look Down on a Poor Youth', 'Don't Look Down on a Middle-Aged Poor', 'Don't Look Down on an Old Poor', what about 'Respect the Dead'?"
"Uh… I take back what I just said. Will I also end up respecting the dead in the future?"
"You good-for-nothing."
Forget it, I won't bring those works from before I transmigrated. I'll just write a novel myself and have some fun…
I've read so many novels, I feel like I could do it too!
Chapter One… to restore a bright and just… Ugh, I've been influenced by the storyteller. Never mind, I won't write it for now.
As the saying goes, if the road is uneven, take a detour!
"You're giving up already? Where is the perseverance you showed when you resolutely abandoned your diary and directly handcrafted clothes?"
Keqing was very frustrated. Where was Lin Ze's determination from before?
How did he just disappear all of a sudden?
But Keqing quickly thought about it again. Lin Ze was now completely a hedonist, and she sighed helplessly.
"If the road is uneven, go around it? Isn't that just avoiding the problem?"
[Avoiding things may be shameful, but it works!]
"Can he hear what I'm saying?"
Inside the Kamisato Estate, Kamisato Ayaka was shocked. Could Lin Ze actually hear her?
How could he respond to her in his diary the very next second after she had just commented on him?
[Haha, someone must think I can hear their complaints, but in reality, I just anticipated their anticipation!]
"Using a diary to mess with people, truly worthy of me!"
Lin Ze didn't know how many people would fall for the trick, but he knew he'd definitely predicted his opponent!
At least one or two would be fooled!
Thinking this, Lin Ze's mood instantly brightened.
But Kamisato Ayaka's mood was not so pleasant. She hadn't even seen the person, and she'd already been played from afar.
Who could she complain to?
Kamisato Ayaka was so angry her face turned red!
She reached out and rubbed her face, forcing herself to calm down. Kamisato Ayaka decided that she wouldn't look at the diary today. Instead, she would obediently fulfill her duties as the White Heron Princess!
Three minutes later
"Just one more look, just one! I swear, no more!"
Time drifted by, and a day slipped away in Lin Ze's idleness.
That evening, Lin Ze sat in the courtyard, sipping ice-cold Cola.
He figured that someone who'd read his diary copy would definitely come knocking once their work for the day was done.
Especially those who knew where he lived. Lin Ze was deliberately waiting for them.
Someone would definitely show up.
"Excuse me, Lin Ze… sir, what… what are you doing here?!"
"Keqing, go quickly and inform Mr. Baizhu!"
"Huh?"
As Lin Ze expected, someone had indeed arrived, but the first words out of their mouth left him stunned.
He quickly used his ice element to create several ice walls, blocking Keqing, who was about to move.
"Wait, what's going on? Why do I need to find Baizhu?
He's a doctor, right? And I'm fine?"
Lin Ze was puzzled, staring at the somewhat flustered Ningguang, the bewildered Keqing who was blocked, and a dazed Ganyu.
What did he do?
"Why would you drink something that looks poisonous at a glance, sir?"
In Ningguang's opinion, this Cola was black and constantly bubbling. It definitely didn't seem like a good thing; it was most likely poison.
In Teyvat, there were indeed drinks with unusual colors, but anything black, liquid, and bubbly was never a good sign.
If it were just black, it might have been something Lin Ze had concocted, a drink with a less-than-appealing appearance. But this thing was also bubbling!
"Uh... who said black things are poisonous?"
Lin Ze was speechless. What kind of strange logic was that, black equals poison?
The Abyss's energy was purple, but did anyone say purple drinks were poisonous?
"But... it's still bubbling!"
Still groggy, Ganyu finally came to her senses and stared curiously at the half-full Cola in Lin Ze's hand.
It gave off a sweet aroma, but she was somewhat skeptical of its appearance.
It's sparkling water. Colorless things can still have bubbles, and besides, what's there to worry about with such tiny bubbles?
"It's precisely because they're small that I'm worried. Who would poison someone and make such big bubbles on purpose?"
Keqing's gaze also followed the Cola in Lin Ze's hand. It really fit her impression of a poisoned drink.
"Ah, this... it's just Cola with ice.
Cola is a drink. This Cola I made uses materials from Teyvat, so it's bound to be different from the original. I can understand that.
But in my opinion, it's very similar, doesn't it look like something poisonous?"
The system gave a Cola recipe tailored for Teyvat, but Lin Ze thought the taste and appearance were very similar. It should be fine.
Could it be that in Teyvat, poisonous things all look like this?
