Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chang Ming stared blankly at "himself" standing in the middle of the stage of the "Opiclee Opera House", feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Chang Ming in the light curtain had a calm expression. He held a platinum-colored scepter in his hand and tapped the ground lightly.

"I hope the lady put some ropes on your arrows."

With this sentence, the version preview PV ended.

Chang Ming looked at the light curtain that was gradually dimming, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Even Chang Ming, who had lived on this continent for nearly four hundred years, was more or less dazed when faced with those scenes that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar.

He never thought that he would be able to see that familiar painting style again, nor did he ever think that he would be able to see the so-called "Creator God" of this world again.

"call..."

Chang Ming leaned back in his chair somewhat tiredly, his slightly blue eyes suddenly becoming a little dazed as he looked at the light screen in front of him that had no intention of shrinking.

He just sat there quietly, not moving at all even when the light screen in front of him lit up again, as if...

Like a salted fish that has lost its dreams.

Just like that, Chang Ming leaned in the chair in a daze for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses.

"So... I'm a real game character now?"

Chang Ming recalled what he had just said in the PV, and for a moment it was difficult to tell the truth from the falsehood.

He was not simply in a daze just now, but he put himself in that plot and, based on his experiences over the past four hundred years, thought about whether he would say such words.

The answer is yes.

He can.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

From more than four hundred years ago to the present, he has been carrying out what he should do according to his own philosophy, and he can guarantee this 100%.

But... after seeing what happened just now, he suddenly felt that he was not as real as he thought.

"Am I a fictional character? But what about those memories of the present life?"

Chang Ming suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, but he had no other evidence to prove that all this was reasonable.

"Wait...evidence?!"

The self-denying thought just now immediately gave Chang Ming inspiration.

Wasn't the reason for his self-doubt because of the panel that suddenly appeared and the light curtain that just appeared in front of him?

Then why should we look for the answer from ourselves instead of looking for the corresponding answer from the perspective of the problem?

This rather bizarre reverse thinking instantly freed him from the vortex of self-doubt and self-denial.

Chang Ming raised his head suddenly and looked at the interface in front of him which had turned into a comment section at some point, and the light screen floating next to him.

[Current popularity value: 1000]

[Popularity is closely related to your performance in the plot. If you operate it properly, you can get twice the result with half the effort. 】

[The uses of popularity include but are not limited to: improving your own strength, changing your own plot trajectory, obtaining intelligence, etc.]

[Additional note: The popularity you consume is the accumulated popularity points. Your own popularity index will not decrease due to your consumption.]

Looking at the panel at hand, Chang Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that it is not as serious as I thought... At least now I can still control the direction of my own plot."

"But... didn't I just appear in the PV? Why is it so popular?"

Chang Ming was a little confused, and looked at the light screen in front of him that was the same as the comment area.

As expected, it was full of comments about himself.

However, when Chang Ming took a look...he was almost frightened by those remarks and fell off his chair.

"Is it possible that there are three water gods in Fontaine, namely the Inquisitor, the Regent, and the Water Demon?"

"I like Villette so much, his shoulders are so broad, but this regent with a name that sounds like a Liyue person seems to be more appealing to my XP"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not gay. Secondly, I'm not gay. Finally... never mind, I'm gay! Everyone, look at me! I have something to announce! I'm Lord Chang Ming's dog!"

"Let me see... the stories that the serious and solemn regent and his god have to tell... isn't this title exciting enough?"

"Quick update! I can't sleep at night!"

"The regent... From the looks of it, he should be a tough guy, and is he closely related to the main plot?"

......

Chang Ming spent about a minute reading all the comments related to himself, some serious and some perverted.

Of course, during this process, Chang Ming's brows were never relaxed, so much so that in the end... Chang Ming even felt that the muscles under his eyebrows were a little sore.

"I finally understand what the character was thinking when I was going crazy about him..."

Chang Ming shook his head silently, then tried to close the page in front of him and looked at the light screen at hand.

To be honest, what he wants to know now is...how to design his own plot.

Almost at the same time when Chang Ming had this thought, a new panel appeared in front of him.

[「Owner of the Eye of God」: 500 popularity points]

["Main storyline adaptation": 500-??? Popularity value]

["Personal Legend Quest Writing": Popularity Value]

["Character quest participation adjustment": 2000 popularity points]

Looking at the panel with the clear price, Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then began to calculate carefully.

"Now I only have 1,000 popularity points. There are only two things I can do. Buy myself a God's Eye and arrange a main storyline for myself."

That’s right, Chang Ming himself didn’t know why he could live so long, and he didn’t have any innate elemental power or innate elemental authority.

So now...what Chang Ming needs most is not the opportunity to pretend in the plot, but an Eye of God.

"After all, any prominent character that appears in the plot... at least has a God's Eye."

Chang Ming thought about this and chose the option of "Holder of the Eye of God".

As the popularity value on the panel on his right dropped rapidly, a dazzling purple light suddenly bloomed on Chang Ming's desk.

The purple light lasted for about half a minute, and a purple "Eye of God" appeared in front of Chang Ming.

"Lightning element?"

Chang Ming muttered softly, shook his head gently, and then focused his gaze on the light curtain in front of him.

The option of "Owner of the Eye of God" gradually faded and disappeared, and the position where it should have been originally was left empty.

"Hmm? No automatic replenishment?"
