Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

At this moment, Chang Ming didn't know that he had inexplicably become a symbol of... the spiritual realm.

But this is not important to him. After all, his demand for popularity is not as high as before.

At least that's how it seemed to him.

Of course, if he knew that the next few missions would completely consume all the popularity he had accumulated so far...

Then he certainly wouldn't think it's "not important".

Under Chang Ming's leadership, the two soon arrived at the outskirts of Fontainebleau Science Academy.

Looking at the wreckage of the research institute, half of which was floating in the sky and the other half was on the ground, Xianyun's mouth twitched for a moment.

Although she also felt that the scenery here was shocking and beautiful, but... it was a bit too abstract.

After a brief downtime, Xianyun looked at Chang Ming and asked uncertainly:

"Does your Fontaine Research Institute... conduct research under these conditions?"

"Of course not. This is just the remains of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences."

"The prophecy of Fontaine has always been the enemy of the people of Fontaine. The Academy of Sciences had been doing this before Funina sacrificed her divine power in exchange for the peace of Fontaine."

"They want to use the reaction between the wild mang energy and the "origin ore" to make Fontaine float in the sky, so as to avoid the tide in the prophecy."

"But... it's clear that this unstable force is not yet under the control of the Fontaine people. At least that's what I understand."

Hearing this, Xianyun shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It took a lot of effort for Tianquan Star to build a Qunyu Pavilion. You guys are quite open-minded."

"But...it's quite consistent with my style of doing things."

As Xianyun spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked at the water-colored cube floating in the sky. A look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Shouldn't everyone have some dreams? Even if you fail and get smashed to pieces, it is still an experience and a rare treasure."

"If all the researchers at Fontaine are like this, then the cooperation between Benxian and you... will be very smooth."

Xianyun smiled slightly, as if he remembered the time when he and Guizhong were arguing while studying mechanical devices.

Maybe...in the future, those images that can only exist in memory will appear in front of me in another form.

Hearing this, Chang Ming glanced at Xianyun who was smiling, and then shook his head slightly.

This is how old people are. They always recall things that happened in the past at some unintentional moments.

Reminiscing the past belongs to yes.

"Then... congratulations in advance on our pleasant cooperation. Of course, you still have to discuss these matters on your own. I won't interfere."

......

Today's Fontaine Academy of Sciences is not peaceful, it can even be said to be... a bit noisy.

Ever since Fontaine and Northland Bank reached a deeper strategic partnership, the attitude of scholars in Dongdong towards Fontaine Academy of Sciences... has become clear.

Although the Northland Bank is far ahead in elemental research, all of its research is based on elements and the technological remnants left behind by Kanreya.

This also means that Zhidong’s technology is like a castle in the air, which can only go up but not down, and... is in danger.

Even a crazy genius like the second "Doctor" Dottore cannot completely fill the mechanical foundation of a country.

Against this background, many researchers came to Fontaine with relevant knowledge and questions in the winter, just to seek a next step.

No, to be more precise...what they need is an answer and a future.

An answer that can prove that his point of view is correct, a future that integrates the mechanical knowledge of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences and the Myo-ron School of the Ordinary Institute.

And today, these scholars from Winter Solstice came here with this purpose in mind.

Looking at the arrogant researcher Zhidong in front of him, Raymondo frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with their attitude.

He clearly came to them to seek answers and to discuss sending some children to Fontaine College for further studies, so why did he look so arrogant?

Didn't the Regent already deal with Zhidong? Where did these troublemakers come from?

"Mr. Raymondo, I think I have made it very clear, right? Please provide the corresponding mechanical analysis drawings and conclusions within three days, otherwise... we will definitely not recognize this result!"

As Ivankov spoke, he slapped a report card on the table, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

The proud people of Zhidong would certainly not accept that their students could not even pass the laboratory assistant assessment of the Academy of Sciences.

In his opinion, this must be the work of the Fontaine people. This must be the meaning of Fontaine not wanting Zhidong to continue to develop well.

——Rather than the problem of one’s own students.

Looking at Ivankov with an arrogant expression in front of him, a hint of displeasure flashed in Raymondo's eyes.

Just when he was about to say something polite, the director of the Qualification Review Office, Desnos, who was standing next to him, said unhappily:

"Your students are completely unsuited to our Fontaine theoretical system. They could have gone to Momang Palace to apply for a few international student quotas, but they had to come to the Academy to cause trouble."

"Your theoretical system is based on elemental power and earth veins, while ours is based on the coordination between wild energy and mechanics. They are not the same system at all."

"Really... These kids are so unlucky to have a teacher like you."

"Desnos!"

Raymondo growled, trying to shut Desnos up.

But Desnos, the examiner, didn't care. He crossed his arms and responded in the same manner:

"What's wrong with you? The previous batch of children have already enrolled, why do you have to come here?"

"We have done our best by giving you the lab assistant assessment, and you still want us to produce mechanical drawings? This attitude again? Dream on!"

"you!"

"What's going on? Why is there such a strong smell of gunpowder as soon as you get here?"

Before Ivankov could say anything, Chang Ming brought Xianyun to this office which was no different from a semi-open-air office.

"Master Chang Ming! You've come just in time. Please judge for us. We have placed all the students who came here before into subjects that are suitable for them, but this guy!"

As Desnos spoke, he pointed at Ivankov angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

"He knew that the academy's exams were much stricter than the college's, but he insisted on doing it his own way. As a result, the kids failed the exams and blamed us for everything!"

"Please give me some judgement. Is it that our Academy of Sciences failed to fulfill its duty as a good host, or are these people from Zhidong being unreasonable?!"
