Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

(One of the biggest problems with player texts is that the narrative is not clear, so if the following conversation is from the game's perspective, the player's nickname will become Ying, and if it is from the "real world" perspective, it will be Traveler)

(Also, please note the difference between the words "present world" and "reality")

No matter which of Chang Ming and Clorinde walks alone on the streets of Fontaine, they will definitely be the focus of attention.

Not to mention when the two of them were walking down the street.

One is a regent who has not had a proper day off for more than 400 years, and the other is the most powerful "Duel Agent" of the current era.

It's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't be attracted to either of them.

Feeling the enthusiastic gazes and cheers of the residents of Fontainebleau, Chang Ming could only smile and nod all the way, so that by the time the two of them arrived near the entrance of Fontainebleau... Chang Ming's neck was a little sore.

He moved his neck a little uncomfortably, and Clorinde, who was standing beside him, shook her head slightly and said with a smile:

"It seems that our regent is very popular among the people of Fontaine."

Hearing this, Chang Ming shrugged without comment and turned his gaze to the little blue cake squatting under the shade of the tree and teasing the kitten.

"It seems that our Lord God has been waiting for a long time."

As if she heard Chang Ming's voice, Funina immediately stood up from the ground, and her beautiful heterochromatic eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance as she looked at the two of them.

"You are finally here, they are almost here! Go, go!"

Looking at Miss Funina striding forward with her head held high and holding a blue cane in her hand, Chang Ming couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then he and Clorinde followed her at the same time.

Looking at the Fontaine Guards who were already prepared, Chang Ming couldn't help but shook his head slightly, then turned sideways and asked Clorinde:

"How are you going to position yourself?"

Clorinde fell into deep thought upon hearing this, and said softly, "I'll be on the left and you on the right."

"no problem."

......

There is always a group of special people in the world, they are called... game anchors.

As a super popular two-dimensional game, major version updates of Genshin Impact always attract the attention of various groups.

Including but not limited to game anchors, major strategy groups, studios and other groups that are highly bound to the game.

In this world, there is an up master named Ye Zhi who is staring at the screen in front of him, responding to those interesting comments and recording the plot in front of him.

As a content creator who focuses on textual research and plot analysis, Ye Zhi possesses not only the so-called analytical ability, but also the ability to make things come alive.

"Linnie is cute? Yes! Linnie is really cute! The magician's character is really likable~"

"But... in comparison, I am still very concerned about the Supreme Judge of Fontaine and the Regent. These two do not seem to be simple characters...?"

"Especially the regent. His speeches in the PV always make people feel like he is a villain who is throwing mud at the protagonists."

"But...it's not ruled out that it's because of the "Cardinal's Decree" issue...It's always good to be serious and responsible."

Ye Zhi spoke while tapping the space bar gently until... the cutscene appeared in front of her.

Linnie looked at the Fontaine Guards who were hurriedly coming down from upstairs with great interest, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.

"Eh~ Um...you want to see Lady Finina? But it seems like she has already come to see you?"

Then, the in-game CG camera was focused on the court guards who were in position and Chang Ming who was slowly walking to the path that the travelers and others had to pass.

He tapped the ground lightly with the silver cane in his hand and looked at the people in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.

Clorinde stood on the other side, her eyes filled with lightning looking calmly at the people in front of her, as if she was accustomed to it.

As the crowd continued to gather at Fontaine Pier, Funina also stood on the platform.

The pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes looked up and down at the foreign blonde girl and her white floating spirit guide in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As if sensing Furninna's gaze, Paimon said in surprise:

"Hey!! That's... the Water God?! But how did she know we were coming...?"

Finina glanced down and saw that most of the people at the dock had gathered. She nodded slightly, cleared her throat, and said:

"Rich and poor, with glasses or with nothing, raise your glasses! If you have nothing, use your arms instead."

After saying this, Funina subconsciously put her hands on her waist, and the white hair on her head swayed slightly, looking quite cute.

"Wow!!! Is this the water god?! It's so cute and small, I really want to hold it in my arms~"

"Ah~ The hair is shaking, so cute~"

With the appearance of Funina, Yeats also used his traditional skill - going crazy.

Yes, that's right. It's hard to imagine that a girl who seriously interprets the plot in her usual updated videos, lists various classic stories and analyzes their relevance and connotation... is so... unliterary during the live broadcast?

"As you can see, strange travelers have come to my country. Come, let us offer them blessings, to the travelers and their companions who have come from afar!"

Hearing the name that sounded like a standard term, Paimon instantly realized who this "Demon Lord" who suddenly appeared was referring to.

But she still found it hard to believe...

——They had only been in Fontaine’s territory for a few minutes, how could they have met the Fontaine’s god so easily? !

"I have long heard that you two have caused bloodshed in several countries, but I still welcome you. No, I will come to greet you in person."

"Fear is the behavior of small people. As a god, I will not take such meaningless caution as my creed. You can rest assured that your piety is clear to me."

"The purpose of the audience is to better see my power and authority. Of course, this is very wise. Wise people will always gather under the right banner."

"Welcome to the kingdom of water! I, Fukaros, will recognize the value and significance of your journey. Now, you can cheer to your heart's content!"

Listening to the cheers of the Fontaine people, Yeats seemed to have recovered from his previous state of insanity.

She bit her fingernails and looked at the recorded game text, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she felt something was not right.

"It seems... this plot is a bit exaggerated? Is there any deeper reason?"

However, before she could continue thinking, the game screen turned to the traveler.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Funina who looked like she was performing an opera with some doubt, and whispered in disbelief:

"Is it so easy to see the God?"

Paimon, who was floating beside her, nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Listening to the cheers of the people of Fontaine around him, he was a little slow to react.

"Yeah...it seems like we've only been on Fontaine land for a few minutes?"

"And the Water God's 'opening remarks' were a bit... uh... I don't know if I should say 'overdoing it' or something else..."

After saying this, Paimon turned around and asked loudly to Furninna who was standing on the platform with her hands on her hips:

"Um, um... Lord Water God, how did you know we were coming?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Nina nodded in understanding and spoke with the acting skills of a 500-year-old veteran:

"Oh~ I understand. You outsiders may have some vulgar perceptions. But don't forget that gods are also divided into "mediocre" and "excellent". It's normal for you to be surprised by my talent."

"Why not reflect on this? Do you really have the moral character and interest to communicate with the gods? For me, it only takes a few clicks to obtain your information. Nothing could be easier."

Almost as soon as Finina finished speaking, a gentleman standing next to him bowed slightly, as if to express something.

After saying a few words to Paimon, Ying looked straight at Funina, waiting for her next words.

Of course! and!

This part was not even included in Funina's own script!

She just thought that there should be a welcoming ceremony for the arrival of travelers, but...but everything that was shown now was her entire understanding of the welcoming ceremony!

As if sensing the embarrassment of his Lord God, Chang Ming gently shook his head, then walked slowly in front of the two of them and said with a smile:

"Hello, both of you. Lady Funina means... welcome to Fontaine."

Chang Ming looked at the two figures in front of him who were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar, and for a moment he felt a lot of emotion.

The last time he saw such a three-dimensional Ying was more than four hundred years ago, before he traveled through time.

Although I have seen her figure and words in the previous exclusive report of Steam Bird News, the content is still a bit...thin.

The moment the pretty blonde girl stood in front of him, Chang Ming smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Chang Ming's gentle voice startled Ying in front of him. Looking at Chang Ming in front of her, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lini, who was born in the Hearth House, was quite good at reading people's expressions. He saw the embarrassment of this traveler who had been causing trouble in other countries, and quickly said:

"This is Fontaine's regent, Chang Ming. He has been in office for more than four hundred years. It can be said that... he is involved in all matters of Fontaine, big and small."

Hearing this, Paimon looked up and down at the elegant but calm man in front of him with some curiosity, and said curiously:

"Chang Ming... seems to be the name of a Liyue person? Could it be that... you are the descendant of a Liyue immortal? You are over 400 years old and still look so young..."

Before Paimeng could finish his words, Ying said in a low voice with some anger: "Paimeng!" Then she looked at Chang Ming in front of her with some apology.

Paimeng reacted immediately after being reminded. His eyes suddenly widened, and then he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:

"I didn't mean you were old, I meant you were young... um, that's not right, I..."

Looking at the incoherent Paimeng in front of him, Chang Ming smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"It's okay. I understand. After all, when I first took office, many people said that I was from Liyue. But... I am indeed a Fontaine person, at least that's the case as far as I can remember."

Ying looked quietly at Chang Ming in front of her. The smile on his face reminded her of someone... no, to be precise, two people.

The tall, blue-haired man in front of him was like a combination of Wendy and Zhongli. He had Zhongli's calmness and composure, as well as Wendy's friendliness and strong affinity.

"I feel like the three of them should be able to get along..."

Ying nodded gently, and a new idea came to her mind.

——If possible, perhaps she could bring this regent to talk to Mr. Zhong during this year's Lantern Festival.

While Ying was brainstorming, Funina was looking at the broad figure, feeling a little...sour in her heart.

It seemed that every time he encountered problems or made mistakes, his regent would stand up without hesitation to help him deal with the mess.

"Chang Ming..." Funina couldn't help but murmur.

It seemed that because of the Eye of God or some other reason, Chang Ming heard Funina's call.

While Ying was still in a daze, he quickly turned his head, blinked at her quickly and gave her a reassuring smile.

Seeing this, Funina smiled at him, then cleared her throat and said:

"The traveler from afar and... her guide, if there is anything else, please tell my regent and ask him to convey it to me."

After saying this, Funina left with the Fontaine Guards. Seeing this, Clorinde sighed slightly, then walked past the platform and came to Chang Ming's side.

Hearing the sound of high heels coming from behind him, Chang Ming turned around and said without hesitation:

"This is Clorinde, Lady Funinna's bodyguard and Fontaine's "duel agent", and the strongest one so far."

Hearing this, Clorinde did not refuse, but nodded slightly and said:

"Hello."

......

While Ying was talking to Chang Ming and others, Ye Zhi in the present world was still stuck on the plot interface where Chang Ming was smiling, without moving at all.

She supported her chin and looked at Chang Ming's gentle smile on the screen, and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Hehe... Chang Ming... Hehehe... Slurp, no no, why am I going crazy?"

Ye Zhi shook his head frantically, looking at the unanimous "down" comments, he felt powerless to refute for a moment.

"What's the matter? I'm obsessed with looks, so what? He's handsome, gentle and considerate, and he's a big shot in a high position, so can't that make me go crazy?"

Ye Zhi said confidently.

"But you said it yourself, host? Chang Ming in the PV doesn't look like a good person..."

"+1"

"+2"

"+"

Ye Zhi looked at the comments that were beginning to flood the screen, and the corners of his mouth twitched awkwardly. After a while, he cleared his throat and reluctantly explained:

"That's because I saw it too one-sidedly. Look, isn't the situation now exactly the same as it was with Dr. Bai? Before he entered the pool, everyone thought he was a bad guy, but when he entered the pool, everyone shed tears, didn't they?"

"Besides, the smile on Chang Ming's face is not much different from Bai Zhu's. Doesn't this also explain the problem?"

"I suspect he is a bad guy ≠ he is a bad guy, okay?"
