[Kuki Shinobu: @Arataki Itto, Boss, what are you so happy about? You aren't even eligible for the lottery since you got the answer wrong.]
[Amber: Pffft—]
[Yun Jin: Pffft—]
[Bennett: Arataki Itto is truly an optimistic person. I should learn from you!]
[Arataki Itto (Head-butting the ground in frustration)]
[Arataki Itto: Hahahaha! @Bennett, see? This young master is the best under the heavens!]
[Yae Miko: Truly optimistic indeed.]
[Xingqiu: To be praised and immediately put on a brave face no matter how miserable things are... I admire that. Truly.]
[Kamisato Ayato: Everyone, let's start eating. There are still punishments to settle later.]
Xiangling couldn't wait any longer. The bean bun was about the size of a girl's palm, with a white, glutinous rice skin.
[Arataki Itto: So good! This bun is delicious! Hey? How come I can eat this one without any trouble?]
「Note: These bean buns have been specially prepared for the event.」
[Xiangling: The taste is excellent!]
[Ganyu: Soft, sweet, and delicious. Mine is red bean paste.]
[Shenhe: Is this what humans eat? It certainly tastes better than medicinal herbs.]
[Qiqi: Qiqi knows sesame. Qiqi has sesame filling.]
Immediately, the camera focused on Qiqi, with Baizhu standing beside her, offering words of praise.
「Ding—Qiqi wins 3rd Prize.」
A small bottle of white liquid appeared in Qiqi's hand.
Qiqi: "Coconut milk? Is it coconut milk, Mr. Baizhu?"
Baizhu unscrewed the cap and sniffed it. It had no scent, but having followed the chat, he knew the broadcast's items were extraordinary.
"It's not coconut milk, but it should be something good. Go ahead and drink it, Qiqi."
Holding the little bottle, she nodded: "I'll listen to Mr. Baizhu."
Glug, glug, glug. After drinking it, a green light radiated from her body.
"Qiqi feels like her body has become much softer. It's very comfortable."
[Kaeya: Haha! Talk about luck! I got fruit filling!]
The second camera cut to Kaeya, who was holding half of a fruit-filled bun.
「Ding—Kaeya wins 2nd Prize.」
[Diluc: Check the soles of your boots; you must have stepped in something lucky today.]
[Thoma: The True Lord of Ice-Bridging's luck is finally turning around!]
[Xingqiu: The True Lord's fortune is soaring.]
[Albedo: Kaeya, show us the reward.]
Lisa and Albedo were still researching the items Razor had won previously. The items from this broadcast were simply too miraculous to ignore. A fiery red liquid appeared in Kaeya's hand.
[Xiangling: It looks like a soup made from Jueyun Chilis and tomatoes.]
Kaeya sniffed it—no scent. "Then I shall not be modest." He downed it in one go.
Everyone watched him intently. Beidou remained calm; her honey-filled bun was delicious. On screen, Kaeya stared at his hands and feet in astonishment, his eyes widening.
[Amber: How does it feel, Kaeya? Speak up! Everyone is watching!]
Kaeya didn't say a word. Instead, he simply took off. His speed was incredible. With a light shout, he leaped onto a roof, causing Margaret and Miss Sara to scream in surprise.
"Captain Kaeya! How did you jump so high?!"
[Amber: That building is at least seven or eight meters high, right? Kaeya cleared it with a casual hop.]
[Chongyun: The Physical Fortification Potion... it just makes your body stronger, right?]
Kaeya leaped back down. Already agile, he was now on a whole different level, even capable of running along walls.
[Yanfei: Now he truly is the True Lord of Ice-Bridging.]
[Kaeya: Miraculous. My physique hasn't changed in appearance, but my strength has increased significantly.]
Kaeya threw a punch, and a hole opened clean through a wall.
[Tartaglia: I didn't win... what a shame. I want to get stronger too.]
[Arataki Itto: Not bad power! You might actually be able to go a few rounds with me now!]
His strength and speed had doubled. The chat was filled with envious comments.
[Jean: Ahem. @Kaeya, regarding the property damage and the repairs for the commercial street... remember to turn in the payment early.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Speaking of which, everyone has finished their buns. Who won the 1st Prize?]
[Beidou: That would be me. Watching the True Lord's performance was worth the half-minute wait.]
「Ding—Beidou wins 1st Prize: Small Beam Cannon.」
The Beam Cannon was a sleek, purple-and-metallic weapon. Everyone in Wanmin Restaurant crowded around. It featured a high-tech aiming scope and was filled with glowing purple and blue fluids.
Beidou flipped the safety valve. The rear of the cannon unfolded, extending into a heavy-duty tripod that stood as tall as Beidou herself. She gripped the handles, bracing her right side against the weapon.
[Thoma: What kind of weapon is that? It went from a portable gadget to a full-sized artillery piece!]
[Keqing: It does bear a resemblance to the cannons found on warships.]
Xiangling: "Watch out, watch out! Big Sister Beidou, don't point that thing at us!"
Yanfei and Chongyun scrambled back. Beidou's crew from the Alcor stood by as she aimed toward Guyun Stone Forest.
Beidou: "This weapon can fire two shots on a full charge. It's portable, relatively speaking. Let's see how far it can reach."
She pulled the trigger—BOOM!!!!
The entire street of Chihu Rock shook. A sound like muffled thunder roared, and the shockwave actually blew the roof off Wanmin Restaurant. Xiangling and Yanfei screamed as the building's structure groaned and cracked.
A beam of purple laser light, as thick as a man's arm, pierced through the air. It struck the distant peak of Guyun Stone Forest with pinpoint accuracy.
BOOM—!!!
Even from that distance, a massive explosion and fireball were visible.
[Xiangling: Sister Beidou! Wanmin Restaurant has been leveled!]
[Xingqiu: What kind of weapon is that? The destructive power is terrifying!]
[Yelan: @Xiangling @Chongyun @Yanfei, are you all okay?]
[Yanfei: We're fine, the roof just collapsed on us. We couldn't see the beam, we just heard the explosion from far away.]
The peak of Guyun Stone Forest had been completely vaporized.
[Ningguang: @Beidou, is that cannon for sale?]
[Beidou: Cough, cough, cough! The smoke is choking me... and the recoil is insane! Ningguang, this thing is soul-bound. Only I can fire it.]
[Ningguang: What if I buy you and the cannon together?]
