Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After hearing Fu Jin's words, Ling Yuan fell into silence. After a while, he spoke intermittently:

"The victors take their place... that is also the law of nature."

"Now that I'm defeated... naturally... I have to listen to what you have to say."

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

Hearing this, Chang Ming slowly closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then said:

"I don't intend to kill you, but... I want to ask you what you think."

"I don't have any other ideas other than that."

"That's right, Lan! Why do we have to kill each other to end it? Can't we all be friends?"

A hint of anxiety appeared on Xiao Mao's face, as if he was worried that Chang Ming and Ling Yuan would have a complete conflict.

He knew very well that judging from the battle just now... Chang Ming could easily kill Ling Yuan.

He didn't want to see his friend die at the hands of another friend.

This...is a bit too cruel.

"..."

Hearing Xiaomao's words, Lingyuan lowered his head slightly and fell into long thought.

For her, defeat was already decided. Since she had lost...she would just answer their questions according to the laws of nature.

Thinking of this, she said softly:

"You two-legged ones, and you, Fu Jin. Even if you don't have enough strength to form two legs, you still want to walk with them in the form of a "human" and talk to me."

"...You are human, and I am a beast. How can humans and beasts be friends?"

Ling Yuan shook his head as he spoke, as if he himself found this matter a bit ridiculous.

"But, Alan, you are lying! If that were the case, why didn't you let the beast eat me then?"

"If humans and beasts can't be friends, and you're on the beast's side, then you shouldn't help me!"

Hearing this, Ling Yuan fell into silence again, and after a long while he spoke:

"...sometimes I can't understand my actions either. You're just...lucky."

"If that's the case, then why didn't you eat the mechanic sister from Fontaine as well! I saw her getting lost in the fog at the foot of the mountain and she almost ran into you!"

Xiao Mao was very reluctant to lose his friend Ling Yuan, and the companionship she gave him and the beautiful memories she gave to the child... could not be replaced.

Looking at Xiao Mao who was anxious and arguing in front of him, Ling Yuan fell into silence again.

"...you humans possess so much wisdom that you can even bend nature to your will."

"In that case, please tell me why I didn't eat that human?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming shook his head indifferently and said without hesitation:

"Because you have long acknowledged the existence of human beings, but you just don't want to admit it."

"Ling Yuan, I don't know what the story is between you and Fu Jin, and I don't want to know so many messed up things, but I know one thing very well..."

"Fu Jin has understood what she should do over the long years, and has also come to recognize humans more. To her, humans have become an indispensable part of her."

"She couldn't bear to see human beings suffer, and she couldn't bear to see all the sacrifices she had made for them go to waste."

"If I'm guessing correctly... the 'giant beast driven away by the Immortal Fujin' that is said in Qiaoying Manor should be you, right?"

Chang Ming's words left Ling Yuan in a long silence, and after a while he nodded slightly.

"Since it's you, that makes more sense."

"Fu Jin wants to protect not only humans, but also the "dedication" you have made together in exchange for your sacrifice."

"If humans leave here because of a sudden change in the environment, all your efforts will be in vain, right?"

Having said this, Chang Ming paused for a moment, then continued:

"Okay, whether from the perspective of a 'loser' or from the perspective of 'natural rules', you should answer my question."

"What I want to know is... why are you so obsessed with restoring the natural environment?"

Chang Ming's words instantly caught the attention of Fu Jin, who was standing beside him. She also wanted to know why Ling Yuan did this.

It is really... painful when a former friend stands against you.

"...I want to transform this land and return it to its natural state thousands of years ago."

"You have been walking with humans for so long that you have forgotten that you, I, and snakes all come from nature."

"I understand that you have never completely died, and unlike the snake, you have not left this place, so I will change this land back to the way it was when you were born."

"Over the years, I have been slowly adjusting my spiritual veins, and those 'gases' are the side effects of adjusting my spiritual veins."

"But...if you give me a little more time, I will climb up the fairy mountain and restore the environment here to its original state in an instant."

"By then, the river will rise and fall with the rain, the river channel will not be fixed, and the tea trees and flowers will not need to be pruned and cultivated, and will not need to live for humans."

Having said this, Ling Yuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"In such an environment, you can regain your shape, swim in the river again, and regain your original strength."

"At that time, the spiritual energy was abundant and the industry was lush and dense. Now the mountains and forests are silent, and the springs have lost their jade-like sounds."

"But y-you don't understand, so you stop me."

Hearing this, Fu Nina sighed slowly, walked gently to Chang Ming's side and said:

"Why... do you want to pit humans against nature?"

"You, Fairy Fujin, and the 'snake' you mentioned all come from nature. Aren't humans the same?"

"You said that humans change nature, but don't wild animals change nature? Is it only the existence of humans that is called "inharmonious and unnatural"? "

"Every living thing will try to change the environment as much as possible to increase its chances of survival."

“Humans also come from nature. They strive to blend with nature and maintain a delicate balance.”

"Even if this balance is slightly disrupted, someone will immediately rush to fill it up regardless of their own safety. Isn't this unreasonable?"

Having said this, Funina paused for a moment, and then said in a calm tone:

"You just can't accept that nature doesn't change according to your ideas. You just can't accept that the Chenyu Valley that Fu Jin wants conflicts with the Chenyu Valley that you want."

Perhaps because she had been with Chang Ming for a long time, Funina's words gradually became sharper and more to the point.

"..."

Hearing this, Ling Yuan fell into a long silence, seeming to be thinking, or reflecting on his own behavior.

Fu Jin ended his brief thought and finally spoke slowly:

"...Lingyuan, I was able to live such a happy life and finally return to my hometown. I am luckier than countless people. The one who doesn't understand... is you."

"Yeah, I don't understand why you guys would do that."

Ling Yuan suddenly raised his head and spoke loudly.

“You performed the Silong ceremony for humans to change the water and soil. I could see that you were happy, but I didn’t understand why;

The snake transformed into a human to save the dying and the wounded. Her flexible fingers were indeed very important for what she was doing, but I also couldn’t understand it. ”

"What you did after that is even more confusing to me. You went to fight their so-called gods for the sake of humanity, and then you died... Why?"

"You belong to the rivers and the forests. You could have chosen to leave them and live with me, letting people's things belong to people and nature belong to nature. Even if your territory becomes smaller, you can still live freely."

"You chose humans because of your emotions... that can't be called a reason."

Hearing this, Fu Jin fell into a brief silence, and after a while he chuckled and said:

"...You really don't understand, Lingyuan?"

"You have understood it a long time ago. When the Lord... no, the Demon God caused the flood, it was you who led your followers to attack people everywhere and drove them to the shelter we prepared in advance."

"...I just help my friends achieve what they want to achieve."

"Even though it goes against nature and the principles you follow, you still did it?"

"..."

Looking at the silent Ling Yuan in front of him, Chang Ming waved his hand slightly and continued:

"Ling Yuan, many things may be difficult to accept, but as we just said, humans also come from nature."

“Since people exist in this world, it means that they are in accordance with the laws of nature, and their activities are also in accordance with the laws of nature.”

"You want to restore nature to its previous state... but you are actually violating the laws of nature, aren't you?"

"..."

Ling Yuan was silent for a long time. After a while, he slowly stood up and walked towards the fairy mountain tremblingly.

"You convinced me."

"If a friend needs my help, I will choose to provide assistance no matter what."

"Without the obstruction of the 'mist', this place will be noticed sooner or later."

"Isn't it also your wish that power should not fall into the hands of those with bad intentions, Fu Jin?"

Looking at Ling Yuan who was getting farther and farther away, Chang Ming shook his head slightly, then put away the barrier built with the power of the abyss and let Ling Yuan go.

——But this was also because he knew what would happen next, so he could let Ling Yuan go without worry.

If you don't know...

He might raise his hand and beat Ling Yuan until he loses consciousness, and then deal with the rest.

But then again, Ling Yuan's spontaneous behavior saved him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Fu Jin beside him and said to him calmly:

"Now that the matter has been resolved, Fairy Fu Jin, I would like to know when the compensation I deserve will be received."

"I don't need much. I just need the water around Silong and the leaves of the trees around Silong for medicinal purposes."

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Fu Jin blinked slightly, then said softly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Chang Ming. When the ritual of sacrificing Long is completely over, I will present it to you with both hands."

"Today's matter is thanks to your help, otherwise...but if I meet Ling Yuan, I don't know what to do."

A bitter smile appeared on Fu Jin's face, as if he had no confidence in the power he currently possessed.

Chang Ming waved his hand indifferently and said softly:

"I will stay in Yilongbu for the near future. Once everything is collected, just send it to me."

"As agreed, my mission ends here. We...say goodbye now."

After saying this, Chang Ming took Funina and left the pond without looking back, without any hesitation.

——He really didn't want to accompany the traveler to collect those golden carps again. That would waste more than just one or two days.

During his rare rest time, he didn't want to work overtime for no reason.

Looking at Chang Ming and Funina who were gradually walking away, Paimon blinked slightly, and then said strangely:

"Should I say he is Chang Ming indeed...? He is really sensitive when it comes to cooperation... Ying, what do you think?"

Paimon looked at Ying as he spoke, as if he wanted to get some answers from her.

Ying shook her head in confusion.

She was just a traveler, not a worm in Chang Ming's stomach. How could she know what he was thinking?

As for how she sees it...

Of course you can watch it while standing, but you can also watch it while sitting.

However, after Fu Jin made his first attempt to control the jade on the fairy mountain, Ying knew why Chang Ming suddenly left.

——I can only say that Chang Ming is worthy of having the ability to "foresee the future". Even his ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune has been brought to the extreme.

......

Ye Zhi looked at the screen in front of him and blinked slightly, as if he was a little...unbelievable.

just leave?

Just leaving like that?

Is Chang Ming's role in this world mission over? He won't even participate in the family reunion and making dumplings?

Ah... because the final mission still requires collecting golden carp, that's fine.

"That's reasonable. Otherwise, if Chang Ming follows his speedy approach... I'm afraid he would be exhausted from looking for those golden carps..."

"and many more?"

Xiao Yezhi frowned and found that things didn't seem simple.

Chang Ming's ability is well-deserved T0 in this open world type of game. Even if his strength is not high enough, his exploration talent alone is enough to make him T0.

If the strength is increased a little bit, it will not be a question of T0 or not, this is the only true God!

She originally thought that Chang Ming was unlikely to have such a supernatural ability, such as being able to directly decrypt and collect nearby props...

But judging from how Chang Ming avoided the final collection step in the plot and left the entire process intact to the players...

"Maybe there is a slight possibility?"
