68. Abduct the cook
"Oops, you're coming."
After Xiangling finished dealing with the monsters on her side, she saw that Lin Chen had just managed a slime, "By the way, I almost forgot about your pot." ”
The little fat claw pulled down Lin Chen's waist, and ran back to Xiangling's feet in small steps.
"The pot is so good."
Xiangling put it back on her waist and grinned, "Let's hurry up, I can feel that frozen tree inside... Looks like I'm lucky, and I should be able to get rare ingredients. ”
The corners of Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly, the person who dared to use the frozen tree as an ingredient was probably only Xiangling, a stupid girl.
The two of them continued to move forward, this time without too many surprises, and after unlocking a few fire elemental stone tablets, they came to an empty ruin.
Through the faint light, the faintly oozing cold air and the sudden drop in temperature around it, it was obvious that there was a big guy with an ice element hidden inside.
"What a big guy, hehe, Frozen Tree, I'm here!"
Xiangling ignored it, and just broke into the territory of the Frozen Tree.
Then he saw that Xiangling threw the pot on his waist to the foot of the frozen tree.
The cute bears are unusually small compared to the big frozen trees.
The pot sat on the ground for a while, and suddenly puffed out his mouth and blew out a scorching flame.
And Xiangling on the side used this flame to skillfully shuttle back and forth around the frozen tree through his vision and the spear in his hand.
The intense ice element condensed in the huge corolla, and smashed on the ground of the ruins, even if it was still far away, Lin Chen could feel the biting cold.
Taking out the flame gun, Lin Chen first aimed at the roots of the frozen tree and threw a few incendiary bombs, and when it was burning, he fired several shots at once.
The strength of this frozen tree is indeed average, according to Lin Chen's estimation, it is at most Lv20.
Although Xiangling's strength is not top-notch, according to his speculation, it is at least more than 30 levels, with flame guns and incendiary bombs, as well as the spitting fire of the pot.
It took less than a minute to deal with this monster.
As the Frozen Tree fell down with a wail, Lin Chen found that his experience bar was full again, and he instantly rose to the Adventure Rank 6, and his strength could be regarded as Level 9.
"Oh, Frozen Tree, Frozen Tree, Delicious Frozen Tree~"
Xiangling rubbed her little hands and began to decompose the materials of the frozen tree.
Of course, the frozen wild boar meat was not spared.
In general, the harvest of this trip was quite good, Lin Chen gained experience, and by the way, he was happy to help others, and Xiangling got the ingredients he wanted.
Only the world where the Frozen Tree was injured was reached.
The two soon returned to the town of Clear Springs.
Not surprisingly, Xiangling won the cooking competition with superior ingredients and superb cooking skills.
Lin Chen can also be regarded as having eaten Xiangling's good craftsmanship.
At the end of the day today, Lin Chen really thought it was quite interesting.
Originally, I just wanted to brush up on the experience in the wild, but I not only met Xiangling, but also met Diona and her daughter in Qingquan Town.
"Hiccup~" Diona burped and touched her little belly, "It's so full, Xiangling's craftsmanship is really good, it's much better than Aunt Brock's." ”
"By the way, Diona, how is your ancestor Olaf now, are you alright?"
Lin Chen had almost forgotten about this berserker.
"It's okay, Dad arranged a place for him to live, and he will hunt with Dad and them in the future."
Diona said with a satisfied face.
Lin Chen looked up at the sky and found that it was not early, and the starry sky had gradually replaced the sun during the day, and was on duty with the moon.
Then he said, "It's not too early, I have to go back to Mondstadt, and there will be a time later." ”
"Won't you stay here?"
As soon as Draff went to arrange his ancestors, he heard what Lin Chen said and asked politely.
Lin Chen shook his head, then looked at Xiangling, who was still eating with Guoba, "Xiangling, it's so late, or you and I go back to Mondstadt, you probably haven't eaten any of Mondstadt's other delicacies yet." ”
"Whew-"
Xiangling took a sip of broth, wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with her white and tender little hands, and showed her white teeth: "It seems to be the same, then bother." ”
Guoba also patted the bear paw in agreement: "Hey, lulu......"
After saying goodbye to Draff and Diona, Lin Chen returned to Mondstadt with Xiangling and Guoba.
Mondstadt is still bustling, much more lively than the relatively deserted town of Springs.
As soon as he got home, Paimon flew to his face and chirped, "Stinky Linchen, I thought you weren't coming back." ”
Lin Chen looked behind her, didn't see Amber and Ying's figures, and asked, "Firefly hasn't come back yet?" Is Amber still on patrol? ”
"That's right, little Klee came to play with me in the morning, and I stayed at home all day today to sell massagers."
Paimon complained.
"Hey, what a wonderful creature, can you eat it?"
Xiangling watched the conversation between Lin Chen and Paimon, and suddenly leaned closer and asked seriously.
"Ah, who is this?"
That's when Paimon noticed Xiangling and Guoba.
"She's Xiangling, that's Guoba."
Lin Chen acted as an intermediary to introduce each other: "This is Paimon, it's my emergency food. ”
"Bah, you're the emergency food!"
Paimon crossed his waist and stomped his feet in front of Xiangling angrily, "No, Paimon is not eating!" ”
"Haha, you look like a pot." Xiangling smiled.
On the other side, Lin Chen just wanted to say that Xiangling had stayed, but when he thought of something, he suddenly patted his head secretly.
Oops, just thinking about leaving this chef to cook for himself and forgetting about the room is a bit insufficient.
There are currently three rooms, one for Amber, one for Ying and Paimon, and one for himself.
When Xiangling came, she had to sleep with Amber.
For some reason, Lin Chen always felt a little empty.
After thinking about it, he felt that he still didn't want to die, although he didn't understand why he felt this way, but for the sake of safety, he felt that he had to worry too much.
So he hurriedly said: "Xiangling, I have something to do with a tavern, there is a spare house there, I'll take you there to live." ”
Dead and poor Daoist friends, let Diluc top the bag first, and then consider leaving Xiangling, the chef, to cook.
The reason why it takes so much effort is really because the food cooked by Xiangling is really delicious!
Xiangling didn't doubt him, and nodded playfully.
The two were about to go out to the angel's gift, but they bumped into Amber who was bouncing around.
The fiery red rabbit ears move and look particularly lively.
"Lin Chen?"
Amber was first surprised, and then after seeing Xiangling beside her, her pretty face collapsed.
I don't know why, Lin Chen always has a feeling of being caught cheating by the main palace.
Fortunately, he was not afraid of the shadows, and calmly explained, "Amber, this is Xiangling, a chef from Liyue, who has admired Mondstadt's food for a long time, so he is temporarily living in Mondstadt. ”
"I also met her occasionally when I was cleaning up monsters in the wild, and now I'm about to take her to the angel's gift to settle down."
