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

As the boy gradually approached Mondstadt, the scene before him shocked him so deeply that it was almost impossible to describe it in words.

Right near Chengmen Bridge, a brand new railway station has taken shape and is under intensive construction.

On the construction site, various modern large-scale construction machinery were operating efficiently. These were novel equipment he had never seen before.

Led by several professional supervisors from Inazuma, the Mond workers worked in collaboration with these advanced construction machines.

Despite the hustle and bustle of people and the roar of machinery on the construction site, everything was in order.

He couldn't help but start to wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

In my impression, Mond people always live in a casual and relaxed attitude. It is rare to see such an all-out and enthusiastic working scene as it is now.

Mond seems to be undergoing a profound transformation.

After crossing the long city gate bridge, he finally stepped into Mondstadt.

The street before him was no longer what he remembered; the change was staggering.

On both sides of the street, many Fontaine-style shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

These newly opened shops are crowded with people and customers, and business is booming.

In contrast, the old shops in Mondstadt are deserted and doing very poorly. Some have even been forced to close down.

The young man strolled past the Angel's Gift Tavern. The rich aroma of wine filled the air, and the tempting taste instantly ignited his taste buds.

Without any hesitation, he stepped lightly into the tavern.

The atmosphere in the pub was completely different from the lively scene he had expected, and seemed a bit deserted.

The few drinkers sat quietly in their seats, immersed in their own world, while the bartender stood in front of the counter, wiping the wine glasses in his hands attentively.

The boy walked to the bar and said to the bartender with a gentle smile: "Hello, I am Wendy, the most outstanding bard in Mondstadt. I wonder if I can exchange my singing for a cup of mellow beer?"

The bartender Charles raised his head and met Wendy's eyes, but he just shook his head lightly, "Sorry, we don't accept such exchanges here."

Despite being rejected, Wendy was not discouraged. He continued, "Oh, don't be in a hurry to reject me! I promise that my singing will definitely make you feel worth listening to and you won't regret it."

Charles smiled slightly, and under Wendy's surprised gaze, he took out an exquisite Fontaine phonograph from under the counter.

As he gently pressed the switch of the phonograph, a heavenly singing voice slowly came out from the phonograph.

The song was beautiful and melodious, like a warm stream, gently flowing through the hearts of the listeners.

Charles and Wendy were both deeply immersed in this moving melody, as if they were in a dream world.

When the song slowly ended, Charles gently turned off the phonograph, turned his eyes to Wendy, and said seriously: "This song is a classic work of Fontaine's water goddess Funina - "Light Ripples". Wendy, do you think your singing can surpass hers?"

Wendy was speechless. Even though he was full of confidence, he had to admit that his singing was indeed not as good as Funina's.

Of course, this is not because his singing skills are not as good as Funina's, but because he lacks a representative work that can be compared with "Light Ripples".

"Bard, I advise you to change your job as soon as possible!" Charles advised kindly, "The construction site of the train station is full of people now, go there to work."

Wendy shook her head and refused. It was impossible for her to work. She would never work in her entire life.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He turned to Charles and said, "Mr. Bartender, are you interested in listening to the live version of "Light Ripple"?"

After that, without waiting for Charles' response, he quickly took out a slightly old organ and began to play it.

Charles originally wanted to stop it, but when Wendy's singing started, he immediately changed his mind.

Compared with "Light Ripples" sung by Funina, Wendy's singing and playing version is more like a free and unrestrained breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

When Wendy's song ended, the customers in the pub gave a warm round of applause.

Charles took the initiative to fill a large glass of beer for Wendy. "Damn bard, I admit that I have fallen in love with your singing. As long as you sing "Light Ripples" here three times every night, all the drinks will be free in the future."

Wendy's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Mr. Bartender, you are so generous!"

Charles waved his hand and said generously: "You're welcome, enjoy it."

In his opinion, Wendy only drank a few beers every night.

However, it wasn't long before he began to regret it.

Wendy was seen pouring glass after glass of wine into his mouth, looking so eager, like a drunkard who hadn't touched alcohol for hundreds of years.

"It feels so good!" Wendy drank another glass in one breath, put the empty glass back on the counter, and said with a satisfied look on her face.

At this moment, Charles' face was ashen and his heart was bleeding.

He never expected that this guy was actually a super drunkard.

Perhaps sensing Charles's depression, Wendy stopped asking for more wine and changed the subject, asking, "Mr. Bartender, why are there so many Fontaine shops suddenly appearing in Mondstadt?"

Charles glanced at him, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Are you from Mond? How come you don't even know this?"

Wendy scratched her head awkwardly. "I've been adventuring in the wild lately and I don't know anything about what happened in Mondstadt."

Charles sighed and explained slowly, “More than a month ago, a large number of high-quality and low-priced Fontaine products flooded into Mondstadt, and many shops selling local products closed down as a result.

Afterwards, the Funinna Foundation of Fontaine bought these closed stores, renovated them and reopened them.

The new Fontaine store not only has excellent service attitude, but also extremely competitive product prices, which further squeezes the living space of local stores and causes more local stores to close down.

Hearing this, Wendy's expression became serious.

He knew that if this situation continued, Mond's business would be in Fontaine's hands.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Did the Knights of Favonius take no action on this?"

When Charles heard this question, he asked in return: "Why should we take action? Mond is a free country, shouldn't commercial trade also be free?

Fontaine has won the market in an honest way through the high quality and affordable prices of its products.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the phonograph that had just been playing, "This phonograph only costs 10,000 Mora at the Funin home appliance chain store, with a three-year warranty, and also comes with a genuine record by Ms. Funinna."

Wendy fell silent.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is this chain store? I want to buy one too."

.....................................

Wendy followed the address provided by Charles and came to the Fu Ning home appliance chain store in the center of Mond City. This store covers an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters and is large in scale.

But when he arrived, he found that there was already a long line of customers waiting in front of the store.

Wendy never liked waiting in line. He glanced at the long line and turned to walk towards the statue of the God of Wind in the distance.

When I strolled to the square, I happened to see the church organizing a grand event.

Prayer pastor Barbara was leading a group of people in devout prayer, while other church staff were distributing free food to the participants.

The event attracted many children and some people living in extreme poverty in Mondstadt.

Wendy didn't care about other people's looks at her at all and joined in the prayer.

While he was praying to the God of Wind in a perfunctory manner, he did not realize that he had been noticed by some "interested people".
