Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Xianyun was slightly stunned, as if she had never expected that Chang Ming came to her for this.

Looking at Xianyun who was stunned for a moment, Chang Ming was not in a hurry. He just looked at her with a smile as usual, waiting for her reply.

"You mean... there is a highly intelligent machine that can use "certain rules" as its core action guidelines for me to study? Has Fontaine's mechanical technology developed to this point?"

Xianyun looked at Chang Ming in front of him with some surprise, as if he found the current situation... difficult to understand.

If this is the case, then perhaps mechanical engineering really needs to learn something from mechanics.

It is possible to create a machine that can interact with people and has a certain rule as its core concept without using any magical power...

If it develops a little further, it will not be much different from creating life.

"As long as the mechanical arts can absorb the corresponding knowledge, the mechanical arts will definitely reach a higher level."

Xianyun thought so in his heart.

In response to Xianyun's question, Chang Ming nodded slightly, but soon shook his head.

"To be precise...it was Fontaine who had this technology in the past."

"After the catastrophe at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, many technologies were lost."

"Although we are now working hard to recover the knowledge from the past,... the progress is still a bit slow."

"I thought... since Liyue's mechanical engineering and Fontaine's mechanics will collide sooner or later, why not start earlier?"

"And this way...isn't it a win-win for us?"

Hearing this, Xianyun took a deep look at Chang Ming who was smiling in front of him, and felt that this guy was more and more unfathomable.

His mind... was deeper than any other person she had ever met.

It can be said that in Xianyun's understanding, Chang Ming has always advocated win-win, but... every time he is in a position to win a little more than others.

This kind of foresight in planning and strategizing... is truly rare.

"If he had been born a few hundred or a thousand years earlier, perhaps he and Emperor Guizhong could have become true friends...?"

As if she was thinking of an old friend, Xianyun sighed for a moment, but this sigh did not last long, and she quickly returned to her present vision.

“But then again, it’s a blessing for Liyue to have a partner like this.”

After figuring this out, Xianyun nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand towards Chang Ming, as if asking for something.

"?"

Chang Ming looked at Xianyun, then looked at the hand that was stretched out towards him, and was a little confused for a moment.

What is this going to do?

Do you want Mora or something else?

Wasn't it agreed that this was for exchange and learning? Why did they want compensation?

As if sensing Chang Ming's somewhat puzzled gaze, Xianyun said unhappily:

"Didn't you ask me to study the machinery with you? Where are the blueprints? Didn't you say that there is no technology to reproduce this kind of automatic machinery now?"

"Uh...it's true."

The Eye of God on Chang Ming's waist flashed a purple light, and Sigmar, who had been paralyzed, instantly appeared on the ground.

"Hmm? Didn't they say there's no technology to reproduce it? Where did this little thing come from?"

"I picked it up from some ruins. According to my research... this little fellow does fit the affixes I just told you."

"How is it? Now that we have seen the real thing, are you willing to follow me to the Academy of Sciences?"

Chang Ming looked at Xianyun in front of him with a smile, as if he had read the "Xianyun User Guide" carefully.

Xianyun crossed his arms, looked at Sigma with interest, then raised his head slightly and said with a hint of pride:

"...Okay, I will put aside the matter of finding an apprentice and reluctantly go with you to the academy to see how ingenious this little thing is."

Seeing Xianyun's look, Chang Ming's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was happy that he had achieved another goal.

"Then please come this way, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, a curtain of light appeared in front of Chang Ming's eyes - that was the sign that his mission was completed.

[World Quest: "Ancient Traces - Gold" has been completed, and the corresponding rewards are being distributed. Please wait...]

[Since the individual "Death Abyss Fairy - Chang Ming" has been out of the control of the "Fatuna System", the reward form has changed. Please wait...]

[Changes completed, popularity rewards will be converted into "Ancient Creation Method" unlock progress, current progress is: 20%]

[Note: Since the current individual has received attention from "R", the unlocking conditions of "Ancient Creation Method" are changed as follows:]

【1. Unlock progress must reach 100%】

[2. Under the watchful eye of "R", use the limited "method of creation" to transform the life level of other creatures]

Looking at the light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of him, Chang Ming suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart.

"So this is your goal... Golden Rhinedot?"

"The five sinners of Kanreya have set their sights on me. What do you want to do?"

Chang Ming slowly raised his head, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and the Sky Island floating in the distance, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"You...what kind of outrageous things have you done to become the target of such public criticism?"

"Or... as "jailers", how long have you imprisoned these "prisoners"? Why do they yearn for "freedom" so much?"

......

Almost at the same time, similar things were happening in Liyue, thousands of miles away.

Zhongli looked at the black feathers falling in front of him with a solemn look in his eyes. For a moment he didn't know what to say.

As the most experienced of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World, he has a deep understanding of this world.

——He understood that the unremarkable black feather in front of him... was actually a trace of the "Supreme Ruler".

"What exactly does He want to do? Why at this time?"

After confirming again and again that there was no threat on the feather, Zhongli slowly picked up the feather.

Just as Zhongli picked up the feather, a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female came into his ears without warning.

"Take it, go find my apostle and give it to him."

"Life and death go on and on, and everything in the past will become nothing in the future."

"Then... that's your chance."

"Children cannot live under the protection of adults forever. It's time for someone to lead them through this barrier."
