Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

Two days later, the Funina Foundation and Mond successfully signed a trade treaty.

That afternoon, Schubert, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared and re-entered the public eye.

He confessed that he was used by the fools and was deceived into promoting protests, which led to unnecessary riots.

Kaiya noticed this, so he took him to the underground warehouse of Dawn Winery for interrogation overnight.

Then the Fatui secretly took action, kidnapped Schubert from the underground warehouse and imprisoned him.

During his days in captivity, Schubert had deep reflection and awakening.

After being rescued, he resolutely decided to reveal all the truth and atone for his previous wrong deeds.

With Schubert's confession, Kaia was exonerated and released.

At the same time, with the assistance of the West Factory, the Knights of Favonius captured a few small-time members of the Fatui and put all the blame on them.

All the disturbances subsided, and Mondstadt seemed to have returned to its former tranquility and harmony.

But the people of Mondstadt soon noticed the new changes in their lives.

On the store shelves, the dazzling array of Fontaine products quickly captured the market with their affordable prices and excellent quality.

From daily necessities to fashionable shoes and bags, there is everything you can think of. Once they are put on the shelves, they are enthusiastically sought after by the public and are quickly sold out.

But at the same time, in sharp contrast are the local products of Mond, which are neglected in the corner and almost no one cares about them.

Qin strolled along the ancient streets of Mond, witnessing the hot and cold market phenomenon, but her heart was filled with worries.

If this trend continues, the wave of unemployment in Mond may come faster than she expected.

How should Mond deal with all this then?

The loan plan proposed by Lin Yide yesterday emerged in her mind.

Although the plan provided interest-free loans, the attached conditions were extremely strict: all national industries in Mond must be open to Fontaine and not to any other country.

This means that if Mond accepts this interest-free loan, although it can temporarily relieve the pressure, in the long run, the country's economic lifeline will be completely controlled by Fontaine.

So, she refused without hesitation.

But the current situation forces her to reconsider whether she should accept the loan.

Just as Qin was lost in thought, Kaiya walked leisurely in front of her.

He said calmly, "Captain Qin, you look like you are worried about the future of the people of Mondstadt?"

Qin sighed softly, "Indeed, many people may lose their livelihoods in the near future."

Kaiya smiled slightly. "Hasn't the owner of Ide already provided a solution? Use the interest-free loan provided by Fontaine to promote infrastructure construction and solve the unemployment problem of the Mond people."

Qin frowned, "However, the additional conditions of the interest-free loan mean that Fontaine will have complete control over Mond's economic sovereignty."

Kaiya seemed quite calm after hearing this, "Captain Qin, I spent more than half a month in prison, and during that time I suddenly realized something."

He paused for a moment and asked Qin: "Guess what it is?"

"What is it?" Qin asked in confusion.

Kaia replied with a serious expression: "Captain Qin, we must face a reality - Mondstadt is actually a relatively weak country.

As the weak, we should follow the survival rules of the weak, which is to obey and accept the domination of the strong to a certain extent.

In the current situation, Fontaine is undoubtedly the strong one we need to obey.”

Qin looked at Kaiya in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Kaiya, do you understand what you are saying?

The people of Mond are freedom-loving by nature. If we yield to the strong, then Mond will lose its spirit of freedom."

Hearing this, Kaia suddenly burst into laughter: “Hahaha, this sounds so ridiculous.

For so many years, the Kingdom of Winter has continued to oppress Mondstadt, and we, the Knights of Favonius, have not even dared to issue a public statement of condemnation.

Isn't this already giving in to the fools?"

Jean was silent. Even though Kaeya's words were sharp and harsh, one had to admit that the Knights of Favonius did lack the courage to fight against the powerful Fatui.

Kaia continued in a cold voice: "The West Factory is far more charitable than the Fatui. Their arrival will only make the people of Mond live a better life.

And, most importantly, they are strong enough to protect Mondstadt from the bullying of Winter."

Jyn was not swayed by his point of view, and she firmly stated her position: "The people of Mondstadt should be the masters of their own destiny.

As long as the wind of Mondstadt blows, our desire and pursuit of freedom will never be extinguished."

Kaiya snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically: "These are the words that Falga once said.

He pursues freedom on his own, but leaves the responsibility of protecting freedom to you.

When Mond needed him most, he chose not to come back. On the surface, he said he had confidence in you, but in fact, he just wanted to compete with the powerful Fatui Executor Capitano. "

Qin wanted to refute, but was speechless and couldn't find a suitable reason to defend Farga.

Kaia continued to scold Farga, "My adopted father, Krips, gave so much to the Knights of Favonius and donated tens of millions of Mora, but until his death, he never received the title of knight he deserved.

And Bruce at the gate of Mondstadt, that lazy, idle loser, is more qualified to be a knight than my adoptive father. This is such a great irony!"

His voice gradually rose, and his emotions became more and more passionate, venting the long-standing resentment in his heart: "Bruce's fat body and exaggerated beer belly are like a mockery of my adoptive father's pursuit of his dream.

Every time I pass by and see him, I feel extremely sick and disgusted.”

Facing Kaiya's accusation, Qin felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, Kaiya. It's my fault for not handling these things well.

I will now knight Cripps to atone for my past mistakes."

However, Kaeya waved his hand in a disinterested manner, indicating that it didn't matter anymore: "No need, Captain Jean. Diluk and I have already let go of these things.

In addition, I formally propose to you to leave the Knights of Favonius.

Yesterday, Yide invited me to join the West Factory again and offered me very generous conditions. "

After hearing the news, Qin felt mixed emotions. Although she wanted to keep Kaia, she didn't say it in the end.

"Goodbye!" Kaiya waved goodbye to her, turned around and walked away with firm steps.

Qin stared at Kaia's receding back, feeling melancholy and lost.

"I am so stupid and incompetent," she muttered to herself in self-mockery.

"No, Captain Qin, I don't think so." A clear and firm voice sounded from behind her.

She turned around and saw Lin Yide standing behind her with a warm and friendly smile on his face, which made people feel good about him unconsciously.

"In my opinion, your persistence is not meaningless. It at least proves that there are still people fighting for the ideal of Mondstadt's freedom."

Qin was just about to thank him for his comfort.

Unexpectedly, he immediately said, "Of course, that's all. It doesn't change any facts."
