Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

"Catherine, regarding the commission I posted last time, is there anyone who accepts it?"

Yun Qing returned to Xumi City again. The last time she came to Xumi City was last time.

The first thing Yun Qing did when he arrived here was to find Xumi Catherine. She was still sticking to her post. Unlike Catherines from other countries, she was wearing a void terminal.

"Yes, but the adventurers who took on the commissions basically didn't bring back any valuable items or information."

Yun Qing had given Catherine a commission when she first came to Xumi City, which was to explore the Mausoleum of the Red King, but this was not what Yun Qing really wanted.

He originally wanted Catherine to issue some more important commissions, but he noticed that something was wrong with Catherine's void terminal. There was no doubt that Nashida was monitoring Yun Qing.

"Oh, there is one more thing, it is very important."

Yun Qing suddenly leaned close to Catherine and whispered, and acted as if the secret could not be revealed.

"You say."

Catherine still answered Yun Qing's questions as usual. Although he was just a puppet, her AI chat function was very powerful.

How powerful is she? Just look at how many people in Teyvat know the secret that Catherine is a puppet. It is no exaggeration to say that passing the Turing test is not a problem.

"How do you think He would feel about being usurped by mortals as a God who is of the same origin as the world?"

Catherine's pupils suddenly dilated, and a green light flashed. Nashida already knew that Yun Qing in front of her had discovered her spying, and she wanted to use the void as a medium to leave Catherine's body.

But it's too late.

She tried her best to return to Jingshan Palace, but it was all in vain. Yun Qing had disconnected all the void nodes connected to Catherine in the void terminal. Catherine was now a prisoner of consciousness.

"Well, now we can have a good talk, all-knowing god."

Omniscient. Nashida didn't think she could bear this description. If she was omniscient, she wouldn't have been imprisoned in Jingshan Palace by the great sage.

However, she did not seem to realize that for a mortal to imprison a god to whom he should be loyal is an act of usurpation and treason.

"You are the last executive officer of the Fatui? Why do you have such authority?"

Nashida recognized who this person was early on, and it was when Yun Qing mentioned the previous commission from the Red King's Mausoleum that Nashida possessed Catherine.

She also wanted to see what the Fatui's last executive, who looked easy to bully just by looking at his seat, was planning.

She knew that the Fatui's seats were ranked based on overall strength, so she was not overly cautious, but the power displayed by the last seat in front of her was far beyond her expectations.

"Yes, I am the 'weakest' executive officer of the Fatui. Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions. I just want to discuss the fate of Xumi with you."

Weak, of course Yun Qing is weak. Yun Qing's scientific research is not as good as Dotole, she does not have as many children as Alechino, her family background is not as good as Pantalone, and she does not have as many masters as Dartagalia.

Isn't this weak enough?

"Sumeru's fate? Are you sure you want to talk about Xumi's fate, not my fate?"

Nashida was not at all worried. Now her life was indeed in Yun Qing's hands, but she still did not think that Yun Qing had the ability to decide the fate of Xumi.

"Oh? As a god who shares the same origin as the World Tree, you actually don't recognize your own abilities? It would be fine if you were caught by an outsider like me, but you were actually put under house arrest by your own subordinates."

Yun Qing also felt very sad. He was obviously a god, but he was PUA'd up like this by the sages, making it too easy for them, the Fatui, to enter Xumi.

"The Great Compassionate Tree King is omniscient and omnipotent. Even after his death, the void is still giving power to this country. And I... am far from being worthy of the title of 'God of Wisdom'. The Ministry of Education is more familiar with the governance of the country. My existence does not have that much significance."

My friend, didn’t your great compassionate tree king leave you a father-in-law? Didn’t anyone tell you not to underestimate yourself?

"What a pity! Did you know that even your last position as a god is wanted to be overthrown by the sages?"

Nashida knew almost nothing about the sages' plans. None of them wore void terminals, and she could not remotely know their consciousness through her authority.

"do not know."

Nashida was very honest. Similarly, she didn't know the twists and turns in the negotiations. She just spoke her mind.

"Another god will also be born in Xumi. Whether to help you or him depends on your attitude."

Yun Qing estimated that his brother Paoer's mecha had entered the final stage of assembly, and the demand for computing power was the greatest during this period.

The birthday of the flower goddess will be celebrated in a few days, and after that, the god of righteousness will be able to truly descend into the world.

"I won't embarrass you. I'm just here to chat with you. You can go now."

Yun Qing reconnected to Catherine's void terminal, and Nashida clearly felt it, but she did not choose to escape directly, but continued to possess Catherine.

"I have another question: Why did you come to Xumi?"

Yun Qing frowned. The question Nashida asked was very obvious, because of the mission. But was that all?

"For the Queen's mission, for a moment of pleasure, for a play, for bringing change to this land. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Yun Qing stopped talking and prepared to leave, but Nashida did not stop either. At such a close distance, she could peek into a person's heart. She looked at Yun Qing's back and made her own decision.

Just now she didn't see through Yun Qing's thoughts. Now, based on the belief that she couldn't allow a dangerous person to walk around in Xumi City and her desire for the unknown, she used her authority.

In just a moment, Nashida felt that she had entered a different dimension, surrounded by dazzling white light, but there was a huge black tree standing in front of her.

On the giant tree, there was a giant dragon coiled. It did not move, but was just resting on it. However, the pressure from it was enough to scare the god Nashida.

She had never seen such a space of consciousness.

"Oh? Ancient Xumi, the god of wisdom, what are you looking for here?"

A voice came from behind Nashida, which startled her. Generally speaking, when people are awake, this underlying consciousness is not active. On the contrary, conversations in this consciousness space usually occur in dreams.

"who are you?"

The person in front of her was not Yun Qing, but a guy wearing a mask with purple light in his eyes.

"It's normal that you don't know me. You will know me soon. Leave. This is not the place for you."
