Fu Chu didn't know much about Fontaine's mechanical device.

Apparently due to energy issues, Fontaine's clockwork machinery has not been promoted in other countries.

What is available on the market are just some small gadgets that cannot represent the characteristics of Fontainebleau, so Fu Chu didn't pay much attention to them.

However, considering that he was going to Fontaine next, Fu Chu did want to do some research before the trip.

"It would be nice if I could meet someone from Fontaine who I could talk to. I could also take the opportunity to learn about the situation in Fontaine."

Thinking about this, Fu Chu slowly went upstairs.

After that, time passed quickly and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Fu Chu did not go out for a stroll, but was watching the shop in Fuyun Temple, wondering if he could wait for a customer from Fontainebleau.

But what is very strange is that on normal days there are guests from Fontainebleau who visit Fuyun Temple, but in these three days, unexpectedly there has not been a single one.

Fu Chu was also a little helpless about this. He felt that it was like looking for something. You couldn't find it when you were looking for it, but when you didn't need it, it suddenly popped up from the corner.

Of course, Fu Chu didn't just watch the store during these three days, he also paid special attention to how busy it was during business hours.

How should I put it? Customers who come to Fuyun Temple are relatively polite and don't make noise in the store.

If they encounter other guests with high-pitched voices, they will remind them to pay attention.

Moreover, most customers have their favorite type of talismans. Every time they come, they pick them up from the shelves with ease and then go to the counter to pay.

During this process, the most they did was to take a few more glances at the other talismans on the shelves, and because each talisman had a price tag and an introduction to its effects next to it, there were not many situations where Amber or Rosa needed to go over and introduce them.

After a few days, Fu Chu confirmed that the busiest job at Fuyun Temple when it was open was that of the shopkeeper, which was responsible for cashiering and bookkeeping.

Amber is usually the one who does this. On the day when Fu Chu went to the Layered Abyss, he asked Amber to try running the store alone. Later, according to Amber's reply, running the store alone is relatively easy and not very tiring.

The specific situation is that after the business starts, customers will come one after another, and the busiest time is at noon, so Amber has to keep track of the customers.

After careful consideration, Fu Chu decided to take Rosa to Fontaine to see what the young master was planning.

According to what Fu Chu knew, the current ruler of Hearth House was a servant of the Fourth Seat of Fatui Executives, named Alechino.

Since the young master revealed in the letter that his desire for Fu Chu to take Rosa to Fontaine was related to Hearth House, he could also use this opportunity to investigate the Fourth Seat.

I just don’t know how much of what was in the young master’s letter was true, and whether there were any hidden plots in it.

However, given the young master's character, the probability of this happening is not zero, but it is not high.

In addition to these, the Summoning King Grand Prix also started the preliminaries the day before yesterday.

Fu Chu naturally took some time to go there, but unfortunately, he really met Hu Tao in the first round and was eliminated in the first round.

It is precisely because of this that he came back to look after the store obediently.

Today is the date of the finals, and the competition will start soon. Fu Chu is also considering whether to go to the competition venue.

But before he could make a decision, Hu Tao, the favorite to win the Summoning King Grand Prix, ran into Fuyun Temple.

"Fu Chu, come out quickly. Someone wants to ask you something—"

It is still business hours at Fuyun Temple, and Hu Tao's voice immediately attracted the attention of many customers in the store. Ying and Paimon, who came with Hu Tao, as well as Manye and Kirara also looked a little helpless.

However, since Walnut often comes to visit, most people have gotten used to it and don't take it too seriously.

In order not to disturb the customers, Fu Chu asked Rosa to take over the job of shopkeeper and went aside with a few others.

"Right here." Fu Chu turned around and asked, "So...Hu Tao said earlier that someone wanted to ask me about something, what was that?"

In response to this question, Qi Liangliang waved his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, they are the ones who have questions for you. I was originally going to deliver a package to Miss Walnut, but I don't know how I was dragged here."

"Oh my, it's more fun when there are more people." Hu Tao was the culprit who kidnapped the courier. She then continued, "If you have anything to do, go find your Ying and Paimon, and Manye. I just came here to make up the numbers when I have nothing to do."

When Paimon heard what Hu Tao said, he immediately spread his hands and complained: "This is really your speaking style, Hu Tao."

Ying at the side also shook her head, but did not waste time and explained: "Actually, this is the case. We went to Mondstadt earlier and learned about the card thief from a reporter from Fontaine. Now we are investigating separately."

"Card thief? Are you involved in some strange incident again?" Fu Chu did not doubt Ying and Paimeng's ability to deal with things. After a brief recollection, he said, "Before you came, I had never heard of the term card thief. Tell me the details."

Then Ying and Paimon roughly explained the reason. They originally wanted to go to Mond to visit an old friend, but they heard the Fontaine reporter mumbling about the card thief.

Later, because I heard that the other party was going to find Mona, I helped lead the bottom lane. Unconsciously, we got together and prepared to investigate the card thief.

As for the card thief, it seems that he is a Seven Saints Summoning player who uses various means to collect treasure chest-style card backs from various places.

It is agreed in advance during each game that the winner can take the back of the loser's card.

After Ying and Paimon finished speaking, Hu Tao spoke before Fu Chu could open his mouth.

"Fu Chu was the first one to meet me during the preliminaries. After he came back, he was devastated and used work to numb himself. Judging from his condition, it is very likely that he does not have the answer you want."

Fu Chu silently questioned after hearing this, what does it mean to be devastated and numb oneself with work, is he such a bad person?

He didn't say anything when he lost more than ten games to Seno, but he might collapse if he lost in the qualifiers.

However, there was something right in Hu Tao's words, that is, Fu Chu did not have any news about the card thief.

Fu Chu ignored Hu Tao's words and said, "I haven't heard of the term card thief these days, but if you want to know the back of a treasure chest card, I happen to have one here."

After saying that, Fu Chu took out the back of the card and handed it to Ying.

"This card back..." Paimon poked his head out to take a closer look at the card back, and finally said, "This looks like a completely ordinary card back. The quality is not very good. I don't know what the card thief is thinking. Why does he need such a thing?"
