Chapter 186 Paper Flying Chicken
Whenever he thought of Liu Bai, Tartaglia felt very unhappy. They had clearly agreed to come to Liyue Harbor together, but he actually ran away.
When I finally caught up with him and arrived at Liyue Port, I heard that he had already set out for Xumi.
He was originally hesitating whether to go to Xumi to find Liu Bai, but when he turned around, he heard that he had returned to Zhidong.
Dadalia immediately wrote a letter back to express his cordial greetings to Liu Bai, but before the letter arrived, Liu Bai had gone to Fontaine again.
Now I guess the letter was forwarded to Fontaine and is stuck there, unable to find the recipient...
When Pantalone heard that the two had a good relationship, he did not hide it from Tartaglia and told him where Liu Bai lived.
But unfortunately, when Tartaglia arrived, the house was empty and Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall next door seemed to be away too.
……
Liyue has had an art of origami passed down since ancient times. Although it is not as famous as opera, it is an art that has not been seriously lost.
Therefore, people have accepted the recent rise of the origami object "Paper Flying Chicken" very quickly.
However, many people have a question, that is, why is this object called "Paper Flying Chicken" and what is the relationship between its shape and chicken?
In this regard, Hu Tao, a senior paper flying chicken expert, gave the following explanation:
"Look at the tip of this thing. Does it look like a chicken beak?"
"Look at these wings. They function the same as chicken wings. As we all know, although chickens cannot fly, they can glide for a distance. Coincidentally, the paper flying chicken also glides for a distance with the help of our hands."
"What? Why did you say you wanted to call it Flying Chicken?"
"Hehe, this hall master also knows this. Have you heard the story of our neighboring country Mond? A bird born with wings longs for the sky but cannot fly..."
"Finally, under the guidance of the wind god, the bird knew that what it needed to fly into the sky was not a strong wind, but courage."
"But a chicken is a chicken after all. It is useless to have courage alone. If it wants to fly, it must work a hundred or a thousand times harder than a bird to have a slim hope."
"The strength with which we throw the paper chicken represents not only the chicken's courage and effort, but also our own courage and effort. This is such a meaningful competition..."
"So do you still want to sign up? The registration fee is 2000 Mora."
On the busy streets of Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao opened a stall to accept registrations for the Paper Flying Chicken Competition.
Her competition has already been reported to the General Affairs Department, so she can attract people to sign up openly.
There is no limit to the number of entries, as long as you can fold a paper flying chicken on the spot, and you can also modify the origami style yourself.
"Interesting, it's so lively, I might as well sign up to participate..."
Among the crowd, a woman wearing red-framed glasses pushed up her frames and muttered quietly.
This person is none other than Master Liuyunjiefeng. On lively festivals like this one, she would occasionally sneak down the mountain to celebrate.
Then she went up and signed up. She also had quite a bit of experience in origami.
"Ok?"
Just after she registered, she suddenly felt a familiar breath.
Looking back, I found that it was Zhongli and Ruoli who were walking towards this side with Liu Bai.
Although I don't have a good impression of Liu Bai, he is the emperor's friend after all...
Thinking of this, Master Liuyun Jiefeng decided to step forward and say hello.
"Wow, there are quite a lot of people who signed up."
Liu Bai looked at the busy registration booth and said with some surprise.
I didn’t expect that a small paper flying chicken could attract so many people’s interest. It seems that Mr. Walnut is no ordinary person!
At this time, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng also came over.
"emperor……"
"Cough cough."
As soon as Master Liuyunjiefeng opened his mouth, Zhongli immediately coughed lightly.
Although they were a little helpless, the immortals already knew that Zhongli was Morax when they went to deal with Liu Bai and Ruota Dragon King last time.
"Ahem...Mr. Zhongli, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Master Liuyun Jiefeng also coughed lightly and quickly changed his words.
"It turns out to be Ms. Xianyun. It has been a long time since we last met."
Zhongli nodded slightly in response.
Ruoli, who was following behind Zhongli, frowned when she saw Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and quickly lowered her body to hold Liu Bai's hand.
"Allies, leave them alone, let's go around them."
Ruoli whispered to Liu Bai, then pulled him and secretly walked around the two of them.
Although Ruoli is easier to talk to now, she has not been completely cured in the Pet Master Ball. She only recalled some of her memories and was forced to become a loli maid.
If she wasn't afraid of being locked in the ball again, she wouldn't have listened to Zhongli, so she didn't like the immortals who were responsible for the seal.
"Kurumi! I brought my allies with me!"
Ruoli pulled Liu Bai and used brute force to push through the crowd, and spoke to Hu Tao amid a burst of resentment and abuse.
"Liu Bai! You are finally here. This hall master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Hu Tao spoke excitedly when he saw Liu Bai, then pulled Lao Meng who was following him over and asked him to be responsible for the registration matters.
"Ahem, I'm really ashamed to have made Mr. Walnut wait for so long."
Walking with Hu Tao to an empty space next to the registration point, Liu Bai coughed lightly and spoke apologetically.
"?"
"Okay, Miss Liu Bai, you are playing this trick on me again, right? I am not afraid of you."
Hearing this familiar name, Kurumi folded her arms in front of her and responded unhappily.
"Why are you talking so strangely?"
Ruoli on the side looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Forget it, forget it. Hu Tao, please sign up an ally for me. I want to compete with him in the competition."
Then Ruoli interrupted the two of them and pointed at Liu Bai and spoke to Hu Tao.
"Hmm? Sign up? But Miss Liu Bai is my special guest, and she is here to be the judge."
Hearing Ruoli's words, Hu Tao shrugged and explained.
After all, Liu Bai is the founder of "Paper Flying Chicken". How could she not invite everyone to the Paper Flying Chicken competition?
"Eh?"
Ruoli turned around and looked at Liu Bai.
After Liu Bai realized what was happening, he immediately showed a smug expression towards Ruoli, with his nose almost turned up to the sky.
"Humph, so what? The championship is still mine..."
Seeing Liu Bai's smug expression, Ruoli grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Although the rules of the competition prohibit the use of elemental power to assist, she is a rock dragon. With the strength of a rock dragon, isn't she a sure winner?
To her, it doesn’t matter whether the chicken can fly or not, or whether there is wind and courage or not, because Ruoli can throw it to any place in Teyvat with her strength.
Afterwards, Hu Tao explained to Liu Bai some things that needed attention, and then said something to Zhongli, and took Liu Bai to the competition venue.
In order to make the venue wide enough, Hu Tao set the competition venue on Guili Plain, the largest plain in Liyue.
And the location is very close to Wangshu Inn, because she got sponsorship from Wangshu Inn, so people who go to watch the game can go to Wangshu Inn to eat when they are hungry.
Since the competition had been reported and was held during the busiest period of the Lantern Festival, the Liyue Seven Stars also sent some Thousand Rocks troops to maintain order.
