Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"...So I said it's not the Big Tea Kettle's fault. There are no problems with either the control variables or the mechanical maintenance! Why do you insist it's the Big Tea Kettle's fault?"

A rather impatient female voice came from a distance. The familiar Fontaine accent made Chang Ming feel like he was back home.

"If it wasn't a problem with the big tea kettle, then why did the water and soil around Qiaoying Manor change so drastically?"

"If the Great Tea Kettle had not been in disrepair and angered the Immortal, why would such a thing have happened?"

Hearing this, Old Lu sighed helplessly, then pointed at the two people arguing in the distance and said:

"Look, they've been arguing for days about whether the big tea kettle caused the water and soil imbalance..."

"Well, if I were seven or eight years younger, I could still persuade them, but this is impossible. An old man like me cannot beat these two young men in terms of physical strength."

After saying that, Old Lu sighed helplessly, and then said to Chang Ming apologetically:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but please ask them to stop for a while..."

Chang Ming nodded slightly when he heard this, and then walked behind the woman dressed as a mechanic.

At this moment, the realistic Watmontaigne was busy arguing with the idealistic Luo Manor Master about whether it was a mechanical problem, and did not notice that Chang Ming walked behind him.

——But Master Luo, who was standing opposite her, noticed Chang Ming’s arrival.

He was about to argue with Watmontaine, but he immediately stopped talking and said a little embarrassedly:

"Mr. Chang Ming? Why are you here? Ah... Sorry to make you laugh."

As Master Luo spoke, he kept winking at the woman in front of him who was obviously already angry with him, as if he wanted her to look behind him.

But it was obvious that Watmontagne, who was already drunk, no longer cared about that.

She wants to defend the dignity of mechanics!

"What, Mr. Chang Ming? You'd better apologize to Fontaine's mechanical technology today! Even if Fontaine's regent comes here, he can't stop me!"

Hearing this, the corners of Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was a little speechless about Watermontage's pure and extreme love of academics.

Although he is happy to see scholars at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences develop in this direction, but...

But can you at least give him some face?

Thinking of this, Chang Ming coughed lightly, then said softly:

"Ahem...Miss Watermont, could you please lower your voice a little?"

"I can understand your love for mechanics, but we need to communicate well, right?"

"Where are you——"

As Watermontaine spoke, she turned her head, and...she saw Chang Ming smiling at her.

For the people of Fontaine, it is impossible to mistake Chang Ming's face.

If Fontaine is a child, then Chang Ming is the patriarch who takes care of all the affairs for the child.

With someone of this level...how could she possibly admit her mistake?

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Chang Ming, uh, what I meant just now was...ah, that..."

Watmontaine's face showed a little panic, and his originally fluent speech became stammering at this moment.

——She really wanted to find a gap between the bluestone slabs to crawl into.

Funina, who was standing behind Chang Ming, covered her lips and chuckled. She had never seen Chang Ming being treated like this before.

Of course, what’s even funnier is Watmontagne’s subsequent performance.

This excellent young lady mechanic had obviously thought of something, and she subconsciously glanced behind Chang Ming.

When she saw that familiar figure and that familiar hat...her cheeks, which had turned slightly red due to the quarrel, turned pale in an instant.

"completion"

"My life is over"

"Not only did he speak rudely to Mr. Chang Ming, but Lady Funina also saw this..."

"Ah... I don't know if the food in Mello Petersburg is good, and if there are any gears that can talk to me..."

Looking at the pale-faced Watmontaine in front of him, Chang Ming glanced at Funina behind him helplessly, then sighed softly.

"Don't be so flustered, Miss Watermont. It's not a big deal."

"I understand your love for mechanics, but what we need to solve now is not the problem of the big tea kettle, but the problem of the water and soil around Qiaoying Manor."

"So...did your 'discussion' with Master Luo produce any useful results?"

Hearing this, Watmontaine, who was still considering how to enter the Melo Petersburg, and the owner of the Luo Manor who was watching the show on the side, were stunned, and then they lowered their heads at the same time.

——It was obvious that they were so busy arguing and trying to persuade the other party that they completely forgot about more important things.

Chang Ming pursed his lips indifferently when he saw this, and then said:

"Since neither of you has found the key to the problem...why waste your time on this kind of thing?"

"It would be better to focus all our energy on investigating the information we brought back."

Hearing this, Master Luo, who had originally lowered his head out of embarrassment, immediately raised his head.

"Mr. Chang Ming?! Are you telling the truth?! Have you found...the source of the water and soil imbalance?!"

And Watermontaigne also raised her head at this moment, because she also wanted to know what the deep reason was that the mechanics she loved so much was considered useless.

"That's right, but the solution may be different from what you think. I'm asking about a ritual called "Toulong"."

"This ritual requires a piece of 'beautiful jade', which is said to be dropped from the top of the river, and then the problem of water and soil imbalance can be solved."

"The essence of soil and water imbalance is 'natural imbalance'. As long as nature is restored...the soil and water problem will be solved."

Hearing this, the three people present were all stunned.

"This... doesn't conform to the laws of science, does it? Mr. Chang Ming, do you believe in this kind of thing?"

Watmontagne retorted subconsciously, as if he couldn't believe it.

However, Master Luo and Old Lu showed some confusion.

Not to mention Watmontagne, a native of Fontaine, even the two locals had never heard of such a story.

Facing the mechanic's question, Chang Ming did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and explained why he did so:

"When you have seen the immortals and know the power they possess, you will not think so, Miss Watmont."

——He also wrote down the name, planning to promote her when he returned to Fontaine.

People with this kind of personality should be in line with René's aesthetics and work habits.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming chuckled and shook his head, then turned his attention to Old Lu who brought them here.

"Old sir, you told me about the Immortal Fujin before. I want to ask... do you know anything else?"

"Hiss... I'm a little confused when you ask me this all of a sudden. I only know the 'Tea Serving Ceremony' and the earliest stories of Qiaoying Manor."

Old Lu shook his head gently and said with some melancholy.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you—"

"Eh? Big brother and big sister, do you want to return to nature too?"
