Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Wow! Are we going to take this to Fontaine? It really is a country of water. The people of Fontaine really know how to use water."

The group took the elevator to the top of Hailu Harbor. The sharp-eyed Paimon immediately saw the most conspicuous waterway and the ship-like vehicle docked on the shore.

If it was Paimeng, who had never seen the world before, he might have praised him as advanced at this moment, right?

But unfortunately, after going to Winter Solstice and seeing what "technology" is with his own eyes, Paimon is no longer impressed by this level of advancement.

But this idea is still very novel. Who would have thought that they could take a boat in a channel in mid-air?

“It’s called a ‘track patrol ship’ and it’s quite convenient indeed.

Although it is not as good as my brother's regular means of transportation, it is indeed very Fontaine-like... It can be regarded as a special means of transportation made in combination with local characteristics."

Linny and Linnet were among the first people to witness the mechanical revolution brought about by Zuo Xi, so they were very receptive to it.

What's more, this was something they had seen when they were young. As locals, they naturally wouldn't feel as curious and novel as Paimon.

"This design is a bit like a 'railway', but the carrier is a waterway instead of a track. It does save a lot of materials, after all, the last thing Fontaine lacks is water. However, the sacrifice in speed is relatively large. Compared with efficient transportation, these routes may have a greater significance for sightseeing."

Zuo Xi gave his own evaluation objectively, neither belittling nor praising.

Judging from the local area of ​​Teyvat alone, Fontaine's civilian technology is indeed far ahead of other countries, which is undoubtedly worthy of recognition.

Perhaps it’s because of the gods, the darkness behind this country is more rampant than in other countries, but anyway, there are still things worth praising.

But that’s all. Fontaine’s technological foundation relies on a special kind of energy - compensated mixed energy.

This is a kind of power based on the water god, which materializes things such as emotions, justice, and execution generated during the trial into energy that is collected.

In other words, the entire Fontaine technology was based on divine power. Although if a replacement method was found now, it should be able to be reborn, but this could not cover up the instability of its own foundation.

In other words, if the gods of other countries are willing to use their divine power in this way, they can probably give birth to different technology trees suitable for their respective countries.

In this regard, there is a fundamental difference between the technologies of Solstice and Kanreya and Fontaine.

The technological basis of Solstice and Kanrea is human, not god. Even without gods, the technology still exists and will not be fatally affected.

Even though today's Zhidong technology has been comprehensively upgraded based on Zuo Xi's upgrade, the technology left behind when Zuo Xi was still a mortal was real human technology.

After his improvements, some technologies have become routine, such as some civilian machinery, such as conventional Titans.

This is not because he is showing off his superiority. The main reason is that the energy source of his workshop was initially borrowed from Fontaine, so he can't help but find faults in order to do better.

"It's a rare opportunity. It's rare that I get the chance to ride a sightseeing boat like this with my brother... It's something I ride often, but now I have a strange feeling of traveling."

Although Linnet's facial expression was a little faint, you could still tell that she was smiling... It didn't matter if you couldn't see it, because her ears that moved from time to time clearly betrayed her excitement and excitement at the moment.

The kids were really excited. Going out with my brother or Femini didn't feel like going out with my parents. My "father" and "brother" were usually very busy, so there were very few opportunities to take a sightseeing boat together like this.

Besides, it is easier to be with "Brother-sama" than "Father-sama". Although they are both parents, Brother-sama is not as majestic in comparison.

"Linette has been looking forward to it for a long time, but she just didn't want to say it... I can't tell my father about this, and my brother rarely comes to Fontaine."

Seeing her sister so happy and excited, Linnie also became happy.

As the eldest, he was always very strict with himself and naturally would not allow himself to have a childish side like Linnet and Femini.

But no matter what, he didn't dislike them and even hoped that Linnet and Femini could be more childish. After all, they were at the age when they should act like spoiled brats around their parents.

Linnie took the initiative to take on so much, on the one hand to gain his father's approval, and on the other hand to make things easier for the two of them.

"Oh, is that so... Haha, it looks like we're about to set off, let's get on the boat."

Zuo Xi looked towards a hidden corner meaningfully, with a playful smile on his lips.

He then returned to normal and led everyone to board the patrol ship that was about to depart.

"Oh! It's time to sail!"

Albert looked at the void watch on his wrist and suddenly realized that it was time to set sail... Well, even with Zuo Xi's current ability, he couldn't feel anything on her wrist.

So how does this little guy sense time?

"Wait a minute! There's still one person who hasn't boarded the boat yet! Wait for me a moment!"

As the navigator, Melusin Aibel was announcing the signal to sail, when an urgent call came from a distance, asking them to sail slower.

Aibel stopped moving the boat and looked in the direction of the sound. A pink-haired guest came hurriedly from the elevator.

"Don't be anxious, passenger. You've come just in time. We're just about to set sail! Eh? Isn't this Charlotte? What a coincidence! We just met not long ago!"

Aibel was very enthusiastic in comforting the late passenger, and after a closer look, she realized that she knew this person. Wasn't this Charlotte, the reporter of "Steambird"?

What a coincidence! We just met not long ago, and now we meet again so soon.

"Ahahaha, of course... After all, I just came here by the Clementine Line."

Charlotte scratched her head embarrassedly. She rushed here because she heard that there was big news in Hailu Port.

I heard that Lady Finina will be meeting the legendary traveler at the Port of Helu, and will have an epic duel of fate with her!

How could Charlotte be missing from such big news? So she rushed over without stopping... But when she got here, the matter was over, so she could only return to Fontaine in disgrace.

I almost missed the next flight. I was really unlucky today...

"I'm sorry to have wasted everyone's time... Eh? Isn't this Mr. Zuo Xi? Your vacation isn't over yet...

The famous magician Mr. Linny and his sister and assistant Ms. Linnet are here too? Then this person over here... could it be the "traveler from a foreign land" mentioned in the rumors?"

After taking a breath, Charlotte finally had time to put her hands together and apologize to the passengers who were traveling with her and for whom she had delayed their time.

The result is surprising. Aren’t all these faces familiar? How could such a coincidence exist in the world?

She had to take back her previous thoughts. She was not unlucky at all today. She met so many interesting people with stories... and everyone gathered together.

With her keen sense of nose, she will definitely be able to dig out a lot of gossip here!

"Zuo Xi, is this your friend?"

Ying didn't know Charlotte, but she looked like she knew Zuo Xi. She wasn't surprised because Zuo Xi had friends in every country in Teyvat.

Ying would be really surprised if he heard that there was no one he knew in Fontaine.

"We have met once before, and we had a pleasant chat at that time... Miss Charlotte, are you here for the duel between the Water God and Ying?"

Zuo Xi nodded in response to Ying's question, but he didn't say how close the relationship between him and Charlotte was.

That communication itself was just an action by Zuo Xi to spread the news to the entire Fontaine and some individual senior executives, mixed with a little personal curiosity at most.

The connection between him and Charlotte was actually limited to that one exchange. They were not very familiar with each other, but they were not strangers to each other either.

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that everything was over when I arrived...Speaking of which, Mr. Zuo Xi, are you familiar with this traveler as well?

It's really strange. I remember that the executive officer with the same name as you also had a good relationship with this traveler... Uh... Eh? Huh? ? ! "

Charlotte was still marveling at how there could be such coincidences in the world: the same name, the same nationality, the same physical features, and even the friends had some overlap... There could be such coincidences in the world.

It would be strange if there is!

It was not until this time that Charlotte suddenly realized another possibility - one or two might be coincidences, and the third could barely be explained... but so many similarities could not be explained by coincidence.

Isn't there another more reasonable explanation than coincidence?

"You, you, you, you... No, you are not the executive officer who has already... already..."

Charlotte covered her mouth and began to tremble as she spoke. On the one hand, she was shocked and excited that she might have discovered some earth-shattering news, and on the other hand, she also had a strange fear as if she had seen a ghost.

If it was really as she guessed, then was this Mr. Zuo Xi in front of her a human or a ghost? !

"...Oh, yeah, Zuo Xi hasn't announced the news of her resurrection yet. Um... is that something we can say?"

Paimeng and Ying looked at each other in bewilderment, and it took them a long time to realize what was going on. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The news of Zuo Xi's death had been made public in a small circle, and well-informed people should have known about it.

But the news of Zuo Xi's resurrection has never been made public. Instead, a coronation ceremony followed... They already knew that Zuo Xi was the new Zeroth Seat, so they preconceived that the coronation ceremony was equivalent to the announcement of resurrection.

But in fact, in the eyes of people who don’t know the inside story, these two things have nothing to do with each other... Even the leaders of various countries who were invited should have chosen to keep it secret when they were not sure whether it could be made public.

So in the eyes of the public, the last seat [mortal] is dead, and the zero seat [Mechanic] is an airborne god.

Although it’s a bit confusing, it doesn’t seem impossible to explain?

After realizing this, Paimeng was a little slow to realize that this was not something that could be made public. If Zuo Xi intended to hide it, and they accidentally told it... would it ruin his plans?

"There's nothing to hide. It's just news that doesn't need to be made public... Miss Charlotte, I believe you will keep it a secret, right?"

Zuo Xi looked at Charlotte with a smile. Although the sun was shining brightly, Charlotte felt a chill.

Is this a threat? This is definitely a threat! I heard that the executive officers are all ruthless killers. Is this what I am going to do today?

"Zuo Xi, you're scaring me again... Don't worry, he won't do anything to you. But that's a secret, okay? You mustn't tell anyone... Is that right?"

Paimon rolled his eyes at Zuo Xi and began to calm Charlotte down, but she still sided with Zuo Xi... Of course, this was mainly because she wanted to make up for her mistake.

After all, it was her accidental slip of the tongue that gave Zuo Xi the opportunity to make use of the situation. No matter what, she still felt a little guilty about it.

"Passengers, please get along well with each other, okay? Otherwise, otherwise... otherwise Aibel will call the security team!"

Zuo Xi turned around and saw that Albert, the accompanying navigator, had already started to tremble with fear, and the tentacles on his head were trembling.

Speaking of which, creatures like Melusin are really amazing... Don't they wear pants? They have the habit of wearing clothes, but they don't wear pants. Some Melusin will wear small skirts... I really don't understand the aesthetics and dressing style of this race.

"Don't worry, beautiful lady. We were just joking... Let me put it this way. Miss Charlotte, as compensation, I allow you to ask me questions.

To the extent that I know, I can answer your questions... You have three chances, three questions. Please consider carefully. "

Zuo Xi wanted to reach out and touch Aibel, but was worried that such an action would be too offensive, so she gave up in the end. Feeling regretful, she turned around and continued the conversation with Charlotte.

"Really? Can I write a story about these issues?"

Charlotte's eyes lit up. She was indeed unlucky today... Such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Really, you can...you have one last question."

"Eh?? Do the two questions just now also count?"

"That's natural...Okay, that's all for the three questions. It's a pleasure to have such a pleasant conversation with you."
