Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

"It's Rhine!" Paimon exclaimed.

It was not until now that everyone noticed that there was another person lying next to them.

"Hello, see you again, friends."

Seeing this, Rhine patted his butt and stood up.

“I told you we’d meet again.

By the way, Ying, you looked really handsome when you fought the Wind Dragon alone just now."

Rhine walked in front of the crowd.

"I'm more curious, Mr. Kaia, why is the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius interested in me?"

"Haha, Mr. Rhine, I just reported the dragon disaster to the captain. As for why she is interested in you, maybe it will become clear after you meet."

Rhine really wanted to meet Qin.

The eldest daughter of the Gunhild family and the young acting leader of the Knights of Favonius.

As a powerful five-star character when the game was first released, he used his "Crazy Duck Sword" to perform many extraordinary deeds.

Inside the office, a blonde woman in knight's uniform glanced at the time on the clock, then looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, seemed a little anxious, and walked towards the door.

"Qin, you are too anxious. Didn't we agree to meet them here?"

Another woman in a purple magic robe was holding a book. She looked quite relaxed, as if she didn't care at all about the dragon disaster that swept through Mondstadt.

Qin seemed a little anxious.

"The Wind Demon Dragon seems to be active outside the city. I want to…"

"Captain Qin, I've brought the people here."

As they were talking, the door of the office was pushed open, and Kaia walked in with Rhine and others.

"Mond welcomes you, guests from afar."

Qin introduced while touching her chest.

"I'm the acting leader, Jean, and this is Lisa, the Knights' librarian."

Qin looked at Ying and Rhine, and her gaze paused on Rhine for a moment.

Lisa looked charming.

"Oh, is this the child who came here with good intentions? Unfortunately, he came at an inopportune time..."

Then he looked at Rhine, and there seemed to be something deep in his eyes.

"?"

What are you looking at me for?

Rhine maintained a smile on his face, but he was confused in his heart.

Ying is the hero who defeated the Wind Dragon, so it is understandable that he was summoned by Qin.

But I didn't do anything.

"Oh, yeah, I'm still the Fatui's executive officer... Has my identity as an executive officer been exposed?"

Rhine shook his head in his heart.

Since arriving in Mond, Rhine has not shown any characteristics of an executive, so no one should be able to discover his true identity.

"I wonder why the captain asked us to come here?"

Rhine's words revealed confusion.

"I am just an ordinary citizen from Solstice who dreams of traveling around the Seven Kingdoms. I really don't understand why you, the captain, would take a fancy to me."

"I took the initiative to make this point."

A young man pushed the door open and answered Rhine's question.

The boy's face was calm, but his eyes were extremely excited.

"No doubt about it, it's him, the 'biggest failure' from the teacher's hands!"

"Hello, my name is Albedo."

Albedo held a book in his hand and behaved politely, his innate elegance revealed in his words.

"I want to talk to you."

Inside the empty library.

Rhine leaned back in his chair, holding a thick book in his hands. On the gold-embossed cover were written a few big words - "Alchemy, from Beginners to Black Soil".

Sitting opposite Rhine, Albedo blinked his eyes with blue star patterns and asked Rhine.

"You've been looking through this catalog for half an hour. Don't you have anything to say?"

The book in Rhine's hand was the one brought by Albedo. The densely packed small characters on it did not record some obscure alchemical knowledge, but a catalog of a complete set of alchemical books.

"I won't lie. You are indeed the alchemical life created by my master. Don't you want to know your origins?"

Seeing that Rhine had no reaction, Albedo continued to ask.

"I know very well that my body comes from the "golden" Rhinedort."

Rhine put down the book and rubbed his eyes.

"But my thoughts are not hers, and I don't have her wisdom."

Rhine raised his head, his golden cross eyes staring directly at Albedo.

"Besides, I know nothing about alchemy, so I can't help you complete that project."

That was the mission that Rhinedot left for Albedo: "Show me the truth of the world and the meaning of the world."

Coincidentally.

When Albedo was reporting on his work in the captain's office, he happened to hear Kaeya's message.

"He has black hair, is tall, and has a handsome face. Most importantly, he has a pair of golden cross-shaped pupils."

Such a description aroused Albedo's interest.

He had followed his teacher for many years and happened to know that the greatest alchemist in Kanreya once made a "most perfect defective product".

A nearly perfect person, but without a soul.

But now it has a soul.

This makes up for the biggest flaw of this "defective product".

Albedo was stunned.

"That's true. You just woke up not long ago, so it's impossible for you to complete such a grand project. But you and I are both from the hands of a master, and I believe in your talent."

Albedo did not lose heart.

"If you have time, I hope you can learn about alchemy. Maybe you will become interested in it and even stimulate the talent in you."

"Hey…"

Rhine sighed.

"I see. But I'm not bragging. My ability in studying is about the same as Wendy's love for cats."

"That famous bard? I've met him. Does he like cats very much?" Albedo asked.

Rhine spread his hands.

"No, he's just allergic to cat hair."

"Uh……"

Albedo realized that the problem seemed to be more serious than he thought.

This "kindred spirit" before him seemed to have no interest in either learning or alchemy.

You can't make someone who only wants to lie down stand up - Lu Xun didn't say that.

"I'm sorry, Albedo, my 'brother'." Rhine stood up and stretched.

"If there is anything else, I will do my best, but as for your project, I may really be unable to help."

Rhine took another look at the book full of catalogs, shook his head, and walked away.

"In fact, the teacher left a lot of alchemical knowledge in you, but at the same time, he also left a shackle for you."

Albedo said abruptly.

"And I happen to know the key to unlock it. Once you unlock that lock, you can reach a realm that most alchemists cannot reach. In layman's terms, it is the creation and destruction of matter."

Albedo was thinking seriously about whether or not to say all of this, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a pair of hands on his shoulders.

"Dude, are you serious?"

As long as there is enough benefit, you can even make those lying down crawl - Lu Xun didn't say that either.

Rhine is not completely uninterested in alchemy, but to reach Albedo's alchemy level, Rhine will have to study hard for at least a few hundred years.

This is what he cannot accept.

He admired those scholars with profound knowledge, but he knew he did not have the perseverance to achieve the same results.

Rhine held Albedo's shoulders with both hands, and there was a faint glow in his cross-shaped pupils.

"I have studied alchemy with my teacher for a long time, so I naturally know these things."

Albedo responded.

Also from Rhinedort, Albedo has a high sense of identification with Rhine and is very willing to help him.

“But that ‘lock’ is a special alchemical product, requiring an equally special ‘key’ to open.

I have most of the materials needed to make it, but I still lack the "Heart of Agares".

Albedo spread out his palm, and a crystal chess piece glowing red condensed in his hand.

"It looks like this. It is an alchemical creation made by the teacher based on the Heart of God. Its power is needed to unlock the lock."

Albedo clenched his fist, and the imitation in his hand slowly dissipated.

“You said that the “Heart of Agares” is a replica of the Heart of God. Then what about the real Heart of God? Can it replace it?”

Rhine didn't seem to notice the embarrassment in Albedo's words, and his face remained enthusiastic.

Albedo's eyes widened.

The imitation made by the teacher was originally made based on the power fluctuations of the Heart of God. The real Heart of God can of course perfectly replace it.

But where can we find a true Heart of God?

"Just leave the Heart of God to me."

Rhine smiled.

After all, seizing the Heart of God is part of the Fatui's grand plan.
