Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"No, what kind of report is this? This is a naked attempt to stir up public unrest. Reporters like this should be brought to the Oprykle Opera House for a public trial!"

In the Momang Palace, in Funina's bedroom, Funina, holding the latest newspaper, slammed the table in anger to cover up the fear that was secretly emerging in her heart.

No, no ...

Something like "God of Machinery", "All machines can be controlled with just one thought", "Fontaine may face the biggest crisis yet" and so on...

She has always had the habit of reading newspapers, but before this, Funina never knew that reading a newspaper could be so terrifying.

This must be fake, right? How could something so outrageous be possible? How could a single thought control all the machines? This should be... This should be impossible, right?

Sometimes there is no need for any definite answer. Just a little doubt in one's heart is enough to make people follow this doubt infinitely.

This is the situation of Funina at the moment. She has even begun to suspect whether the prophecy of the destruction of Fontaine is related to this new god of winter.

"The water level has been rising recently. Could it be that the terrifying guy is responsible? Why did he destroy Fontaine? Is he a punishment sent from heaven?"

With just a few words, Zuo Xi was accused of destroying Fontaine without knowing it. And it all started with the article he instigated Charlotte to write.

The entry point that Zuo Xi found for Charlotte was indeed very topical. During this period, everyone in Fontaine was basically talking about the content of that report.

As Zuo Xi predicted, the serious article on the front page was ignored. If you ask anyone, they can tell you the content of the alarmist article, but when it comes to the front page, most people can only tell you the title.

As expected, the nature of human beings is to join in the fun. Without some topic, the popularity will not be high at all... But Zuo Xi really didn't expect that Funina would have such a big reaction.

He is not clear about Fontaine's specific situation yet, nor does he know what is going on with Funina.

His impression of Fininna was just that of a vain god. Although there must be a real side beneath this disguise, he was not sure what this real side looked like.

Is it indifference or enthusiasm, arrogance or humility, strength or weakness... Zuo Xi is not sure.

So this was one of the reasons why he urged Charlotte to write this report. He wanted to use Fernina's reaction to infer what kind of soul was beneath the flamboyant actor's appearance.

I'm afraid Zuo Xi never thought that his tentative behavior would directly step on the cat's tail and give Fu Ningna a lot of stress...

"Hmm...what should I do? Should I find an opportunity to test it out...No, no, no, it shouldn't matter, right? After all, he hasn't come to Fontaine. Maybe he just scared himself..."

Funina curled up on the bed hugging her little pillow, trying hard to find reasons for herself not to get in touch with that scary guy.

However, the more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt, and her body trembled more and more. However, after shaking for a while, her eyes suddenly became firm.

Although still filled with fear, one can see a firmness hidden deep within that fear.

"… Still, let's find out a way."

Finina slowly climbed out of bed. It would soon be time for her to go out... Only in this space was she herself, not the god that everyone was paying attention to.

After giving a confident smile in the mirror and making sure that her acting skills were still good, Funina finally left the room.

"Come to think of it, the traveler seems to be arriving in Fontaine today... Let's go and take a look. I'm sure the people are looking forward to such a meeting."

After taking a deep breath, Funina left Momang Palace with a confident expression.

"Come on, follow your great god to meet the traveler who is stirring up the waves everywhere... Let's go to Hailu Port!"

……

Time goes back to the present, Hailu Port.

"Then let's just leave for Fontaine. If we don't leave now, someone will be waiting anxiously."

Zuo Xi estimated the time. From the time Ying set foot on the land of Fontaine to now, it should be enough time for that pretentious god to set up the scene.

If you don't go now, people will get anxious.

"Eh? Zuo Xi, did you make an appointment with someone else? Would it be inconvenient for us to go with them?"

Having said that, Paimeng was actually following Zuo Xi very closely, and there was no sign of her being "embarrassed".

Looking back, it was indeed true. Zuo Xi did not avoid them most of the time, and the two of them had already developed a habit of it.

"The person that Brother-sama was talking about should not be waiting for him... But he actually went out of his way to greet him. If it was that sir, it doesn't seem so strange."

Lini quickly guessed what Zuo Xi was referring to. He knew best what the gods of his country looked like. According to that adult's words, no matter what he did, it seemed that no one would be surprised.

To some extent, the degree and frequency of that adult's unexpectedness seem to be comparable to that of my brother... After all, both of them are the type of people who do things unconventionally to the point that no one else is surprised.

"What on earth are you talking about... Forget it, let's get going quickly and don't keep them waiting."

Paimon still didn't know what they were talking about, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Although Ying didn't understand either, her intuition told her that Zuo Xi was causing trouble again... She just hoped that she wouldn't run into any big trouble next time, as Zuo Xi loved to make trouble for others.

Sure enough, not long after the group came out of the alley and walked towards the elevator of the port, a group of Fontaine guards appeared from all directions and began to line up in an orderly manner.

fluorescent:? ?

What is this? Did they just issue a wanted notice without following any procedures? Why did so many guards come after they were surrounded for a while and had a cup of coffee?

"Don't be nervous, they are not here to arrest you."

Linnet saw that the traveler was about to take out a weapon, so she hurriedly stopped her. It would be fine if she didn't take out a weapon, but if she really took out a weapon and pointed her sword at the gods, she would be publicly tried.

"Is that so? Okay..."

Ying was still confused after being stopped. Isn't it to arrest someone? Doesn't arresting someone require such a big show?

She now seriously suspected that Linnet was lying to her, even though she was Zuo Xi's person... because she suspected that Zuo Xi was also playing tricks on her.

She had reason to suspect that Zuo Xi had colluded with the Water God to put her in jail for a few days to avoid the risk of not being wanted in Fontaine and to make her trip more complete...

Zuo Xi is really capable of doing such a thing. Not only will he come to visit you in prison after sending you in, but he will also eat delicious food in front of you and won’t share any with you.

He is so vicious!

"...You must be thinking something very rude, but never mind. You are lucky to come to Fontaine this time. Weren't you going to see the gods before? Now you don't need to go to great lengths, the gods of Fontaine will come to see you."

As soon as Zuo Xi saw Ying secretly glancing at her, she knew that this guy definitely had no good intentions... Haha, then I'll put you in jail, and when I visit you in prison, I'll eat sweet flower stuffed chicken in front of you.

"Eh? What do you mean? Why would God..."

Before Paimon could fully comprehend the current situation, her confusion was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Rich and poor, carry your cups. Those who have nothing, raise your cups! If you have nothing, use your arms instead."

On the high steps, a woman with blue and white hair, yin and yang eyes, and wearing a blue opera costume, chanted exaggerated lines that matched her tone in an exaggerated and high-pitched voice.

The appearance of this person instantly attracted everyone's attention. All the people in Fontaine who saw her applauded and gave her praise and blessings.

The lady's pauses seemed to be reserved for applause, and she was sure that everyone would sing for her.

"As you can see, strange travelers have come to my country. Come, let us send them blessings, respect the traveler and her companions who have come from afar!"

The words of the opera performer on the stage instantly drew attention to the group of travelers. Everyone looked over and offered their greetings and blessings.

It was not until now that Ying and Paimeng finally realized what Zuo Xi meant. Only then did they realize who this flamboyant performer was and who she was talking to.

"Eh?! Are you talking about the two of us?"

Paimon was surprised, while Ying suddenly realized that it was the god himself who came, no wonder there was such a big scene.

But looking around, although there are a lot of people, it seems... no one is carrying a cup.

Zuo Xi... was really cooperative. I don't know when a cup appeared, and it actually contained dark red wine.

"To our guests who have come from afar, and to our beloved God... Cheers."

Zuo Xi raised his glass to Funina, and then drank it all in one gulp. The people at the scene couldn't help but be attracted by his behavior, and when he drank the wine in the glass, warm applause broke out again.

"Good! Good! This friend is truly a romantic gentleman!"

"I didn't expect that my friends in Liyue are so romantic. I thought that people in Liyue were so old-fashioned."

"Cheers! Cheers! Who has wine?"

The crowd cheered and applauded one after another because of Zuo Xi's action.

"Uh...how did it develop like this..."

Finina muttered to herself quietly, then returned to her normal self.

"Ahem! Sing praises to this friend's freedom and romance. The romance of Fontaine matches you!"

Fortunately, Fu Nina's popularity was there, and she quickly took control of the situation. Seeing her like this, Zuo Xi smiled slightly, just nodded and said nothing more.

"Let's talk about our two most shining supporting actors today!

I have heard that you two have caused bloodshed in several countries, but I still welcome you. No, I will come to greet you in person."

Finina put one hand on her chest and raised the other hand high, doing a very standard and classic opera movement. Then she put her hands down and continued to look at the traveler and Paimon.

"Fear is the behavior of a small person. As a god, I will not take such meaningless caution as my creed. Don't worry, I can see your piety clearly... The purpose of your audience is to better admire my power and authority.

Of course, that's very wise. Smart people will always gather under the right banner. "

At the end, Furninha spread her hands, signaling the end of this performance called "Meeting".

"Welcome to the kingdom of water. I, Fukalos, acknowledge the value and significance of your journey. Now, you may rejoice to your heart's content!"

The people's enthusiasm, which had been silent for a long time, burst out in this final scene. Applause and cheers, which were more enthusiastic than the previous two times, continued. The entire Hailu Harbor instantly became a temporary open-air memorial stage.

This made Ying and Paimeng, who had just arrived at Fontaine not long ago, confused. What was going on? Where was this place? Why were they here? Was the person on the stage performing an opera? Was this an open-air street performance?

A series of escapist questions like these popped up one after another. Zuo Xi slapped one of them on the back of the head without any hesitation, waking them both up.

"Wake up, you have seen the end of the world, after all, so don't be so embarrassing, okay?"

After waking the two of them up, Zuo Xi took over the conversation between them and Fucaros.

The two of them were just a wedge, and the following conversation was what Zuo Xi was concerned about.

Let him meet the god of justice of Fontaine and see what kind of god he is, what kind of will he holds, and what kind of position he insists on.

"Well, dear Ms. Fukaros, we are humbled by your welcome. It is a great honor for our two friends to be favored by the gods.

Could you please answer the next question? May I ask the great God of Justice why he is interested in my two friends and why he condescended to come and greet them in person? "

Zuo Xi would never have thought that the other party was just trying to show off in front of the people in order to consolidate the impression and faith of the people of Fontaine in her as a god.

After all, from his perspective, Funina is the water god of Fontaine. A god can be cowardly, can be flamboyant, can ignore the lives of the people... but he does not need to maintain his identity.

After all, no one would work hard to prove that he is a human being and to make others believe that he is a human being.

And Funina would never have thought that this gentle, romantic and polite gentleman in front of her would be the one who made her sleepless and make her wonder if he was the culprit behind the prophecy of Fontaine's destruction.

This was the first meeting between a god who was elevated from a man, and a man who was differentiated from a god.
