I'm a male god in Liyue

A vendor nearby was hawking drinks, claiming they were canned peaches from Sumeru, developed by scholars from the Chancellery, and could be preserved for a long time; they were clean and hygienic.

Fischl hesitated for a moment, but seeing that many people were buying it, she couldn't resist her curiosity and went over to buy one as well.

The price is a bit high; a small can costs 50 mora, which is enough to buy several kilograms of fresh peaches!

Fortunately, yesterday the Emperor and Empress gave her a new allowance, saying it was enough for her to have fun at the Flower Festival and to squander as she pleased.

Fischl opened the can and tasted it.

Inside are chopped peach chunks soaking in sugar water, with a crisp texture, but they are extremely sweet.

Fischl doesn't actually like overly sweet flavors.

After all, she wasn't the kind of poor child whose family was very poor and who didn't get to eat much candy every day.

Oz didn't like to eat it either.

In order not to waste Mora, she still tried her best to finish the whole can.

After finishing her meal, she frowned and threw the can into the nearby trash can.

Oz looked at her and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Fischl's expression returned to normal, and she waved her hand, "This princess is well."

She sat on the bench, continuing to watch the people passing by in the square, hoping to find the young man wearing sunglasses.

But a few minutes later, Fischl frowned again.

She felt some discomfort in her stomach.

Fischl wanted to be patient.

But this uncomfortable feeling did not lessen over time; instead, it became increasingly unbearable.

In the end, Fischl had no choice but to go to the toilet, clutching her stomach.

This princess will never eat any more of Sumeru fruit canned goods again!

After Fischl left the square.

Not long after, Xia Zhi and the others came out of the West Wind Cathedral.

First, everyone went to find a nice shop to have breakfast, and then they went to the West Wind Library to read books.

Ying'er and Xianyun took the test tube containing the pinkish-purple breath to the Knights of Favonius' alchemy workshop to find Sugar and study the "Breath of Happiness" together.

At 10 a.m., Keli came to the library to find Yao Yao and Charlene to play together.

The three little girls huddled together and spoke in hushed tones.

"Look, Klee brought you lots of new toys."

Wow, where did you buy it?

"It wasn't bought, Mom gave it to Claire."

"Claire's mother? Has she come back?"

“She didn’t come back. Mom is traveling. These are all things that Mom bought in different places and then asked Dolly to bring them back to Claire.”

"That's it."

"Which one do you like? Klee will give it to you."

"Thank you, Claire."

Looking at the toys on the ground, Yao Yao asked curiously, "What kind of person is Ke Li's mother?"

Claire immediately said, "Mom is the best mom."

Charlene suddenly said, "Dad is the best dad too."

Claire insisted, "My mom is better."

Charlene insisted, "My father is better."

The two little girls stared at each other, neither willing to give way.

Yao Yao quickly said, "Alright, stop arguing. This is a library, you'll disturb everyone."

Keli turned to look at her and asked, "Yaoyao, who do you think is better?"

Yao Yao was stunned: "Huh?"

"Who do you think is better, Keli's mom or Charlene's dad?" Yao Yao asked.

That goes without saying, of course the eldest brother is the best.

However, Yao Yao was clever and didn't say what she really thought. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think my master is the best."

Klee pouted and said, "Why is Yao Yao like this..."

Yao Yao said earnestly, "Because I have never met Ke Li's mother, I can't make a comparison."

Claire muttered softly, "When Mom comes back, I'm going to show you that she's the best mom in the world."

Charlene turned her head and looked at Xia Zhi by the bookshelf in the distance, remaining silent.

The alchemy workshop upstairs in the West Wind Library.

Lisa frowned, as if she was pondering some difficult problem.

She didn't sleep a wink last night, staying up all night.

Unlike the night before last, she is in excellent spirits now and shows no signs of fatigue.

On the table in front of her were many seasonings and ingredients: salt, cooking oil, Sichuan peppercorns, chopped green onions, mushrooms, flour... as well as many strange alchemical instruments whose purpose was not immediately apparent.

And a bucket of instant noodles with the paper lid open.

Lisa is trying to recreate this new food that interests her.

Although she is not a professional chef, she is an excellent scholar.

Scholars excel at research; they believe that everything in the world can be studied.

When Lisa was studying in Sumeru, she even heard a rumor that even the gods could study the essence of things and then create them...

Lisa certainly didn't agree with those fanatical views.

She had neither the interest nor the ability to study gods, but studying a mere bucket of instant noodles should be a piece of cake for her, a "once-in-two-hundred-years genius."

As long as she can figure out all the parameters of instant noodles—the precise amount of seasoning, the moisture and elasticity of the dough, the frying temperature and time—even if she can't cook, she can definitely perfectly replicate the taste of instant noodles.

That was Lisa's initial thought, but after studying it for a whole night, she realized that something seemed off.

She has already replicated several servings of instant noodles.

Although the taste is somewhat similar to the original and can be described as delicious, it still lacks something indescribable, and doesn't reach the level of deliciousness that she finds unforgettable.

Furthermore, after eating the replica instant noodles, she didn't experience any special feeling of happiness.

She took samples from the third serving of instant noodles and, after careful examination, discovered that the dried mushrooms contained a substance that could affect the mood of the consumer.

However, after searching through the Teyvat mushroom encyclopedia, she could not find the origin of this strange mushroom with a creamy, sweet taste.

Lisa frowned in thought, muttering to herself, "Could it be a mutated variety he cultivated himself? But even if it's a mutated variety, it should still retain some characteristics of the original variety. The shape and structure of this mushroom are too unfamiliar, it's almost like a product from another world... It's a pity it's a dried mushroom..."

The research encountered obstacles and could not continue.

Lisa thought for a moment, then stood up and walked outside.

Since there is a lack of samples, we should go and find some.

I suppose Principal Xia doesn't want to fail to borrow any books on this trip, does he?

Lisa left the alchemy workshop and returned to the library, where she found Xia Zhi in front of a row of bookshelves deep inside.

Just like yesterday, he stood alone in front of the bookshelf, reached out and took a book from it, held it for a moment, then either put it back or put it down, repeating this strange process over and over again.

Lisa walked over quietly and greeted him with a smile: "Principal Xia."

Xia Zhi turned his head, a gentle smile on his face: "Miss Lisa."

"These books around you..."

"These are all good books that I feel I should borrow."

"Oh? I wonder how Principal Xia managed to distinguish them?"

"It's just based on intuition, Miss Lisa, please don't laugh at me."

"As for my feelings... I never expected Principal Xia to have such amazing abilities..."

"After all, I'm blind."

"Oh?"

"Because I lost my sight, my other senses have become more acute, such as touch. A normal person might think a book is new just by looking at it, but if I touch it with my fingers, I can find that there are actually some signs of wear and tear on the pages."

Upon hearing this, Lisa seemed to be deep in thought.
