Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 416 The Fools' Arrangements

Time is like a flowing wind, blowing ceaselessly.

The duck's feathers gently landed on the surface of Fruit Wine Lake, creating a shallow ripple, before it slowly disappeared into the distance.

The pedestrians on the bridge were all in a hurry, and no one was distracted by how similar the shape of the ripples was to yesterday's.

Of course, the pigeons on the bridge are the same, after all, they have to be careful not to become the raw material for tonight's sweet flower-stuffed chicken.

Foraging for food on the bridge in front of Mondstadt is a high-risk job; you never know when or where a stray arrow might shoot out from, or a net might fly out from all directions.

Compared to his colleagues in Port Omos who spend their days thinking about which dock to go to for fries, life wasn't so easy.

The calls that are about to be heard are swallowed back down the same way, and this is how pigeons fill their bellies every day. Their lives are like eating boiled black-backed bass until they get poisoned.

This continued until a blond traveler arrived in Mondstadt, and then... things took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Let it go with the wind," "Valesha thought it was a speed bump," "Sweet... the senior is practicing archery," "Coincidentally, Yelan is also practicing archery," "Ganyu is a vegetarian, he usually raises his aim three inches."

Steamed buns, you disagree?

So what do you suggest we do? Go tell Timmy?

However, that's a story for later.

At least for now, after the heavy snow, there are far fewer adventurers coming and going, and the Adventurers' Guild is much quieter as well.

Who would want to rush out into the snow to handle a case when they could stay in a warm room and drink a cup of hot tea?

Everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

The earlier turmoil in Qingquan Town gradually subsided with this heavy snowfall, and was buried in the vast white snowfield.

Gradually, the names of the deceased were no longer mentioned.

Cargo ships come and go in Jingfu Harbor, carrying wooden crates full of dandelion wine and cider to sail to the north, or bringing back products from Liyue, Sumeru, and even further to Fontaine.

The garrisoned knight squads gradually returned to the Knights Order, weakening the defenses and creating a vacuum in patrols.

Thus, in a corner where the wind couldn't reach, the shadows that had been lying in wait for so long gradually revealed their tentative claws.

"The Doctor is very dissatisfied with your work."

A cold female voice rang out in the small space, and the temperature seemed to drop several notches the moment those words were uttered.

This is a deserted Hilichurl camp in Whispering Woods, a temporary outpost for the Fatui.

The woman speaking was dressed in the standard dark purple robes of a Thunderfire Sorcerer, and the ghostly lamp she carried shimmered with a chilling light in the darkness, perfectly matching her current expression.

The power of this question should not be underestimated, as can be seen from the sudden change in the man's expression.

Of all the Fools' Executors, the Second Seat, "The Doctor," is the most pragmatic. In other words, in this Executor's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the world.

He can naturally befriend useful people, or mercifully grant them the right to live.

It is said that in order to get closer to the third seat "girl", the second seat even patiently played the role of an older brother for a period of time, but the result was not so satisfactory.

But for useless subordinates, there is only one outcome.

To make the last bit of value on the lab bench.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Dotole, who stands in stark contrast to Captain Capitano at the top of the list, appeared in the recruitment intention survey of the rank-and-file Fools.

However, despite the man's grim expression, he did not show much fear in the face of the woman's aggressive behavior.

As the longest-living adjutant under the current second-in-command, he is not so easily intimidated by a few words.

If the "Doctor" is truly dissatisfied with him, then he should be on the operating table in the laboratory right now.

"Hmph, you'd better be more polite, Lyudmila."

"Don't forget, if it weren't for my arrangements, it's uncertain whether you would have made it here unscathed."

The man snorted coldly, dismissing the lightning sorcerer's threats with disdain; however, this was exactly what the sorcerer had anticipated.

She crossed her arms and gave a cold laugh, retorting sarcastically.

"Then, Lord Krobor, please enlighten me. Who is it that I have traveled all this way to provide assistance?"

Krobor's expression darkened; clearly, Lyudmila's sarcasm had struck a nerve.

After all, it's a fact that the mission is currently facing setbacks at every turn.

The planned experimental site was unexpectedly exposed, leading to the destruction of supplies and equipment, and even the disruption of supplies.

Those Knights of Favonius were even more persistent; if it weren't for the spies we'd planted earlier, they might have been wiped out by Falgar's men this time.

"Hmph, Lyudmila, I don't think the Doctor sent you to Mondstadt just so you could laugh at me, did he?"

"Speak, Doctor, what are your orders this time?"

Taking a deep breath, Krober suppressed his frustration and abruptly changed the subject.

Lyudanla clicked his tongue lightly, seemingly regretting that the previous exchange hadn't been satisfying enough. But now that they were on the serious business, continuing to press the issue would be putting the cart before the horse.

"I told you, the Doctor is very dissatisfied with you."

"I need to warn you, if the number of test subjects still doesn't satisfy the Doctor after a month..."

"Then you'd better be prepared to fill it in yourself."

Krober ignored the gloating in the other person's words and responded coldly in a businesslike tone.

"That's none of your concern."

"Five days later, the 'goods' will be delivered to Sumeru as previously agreed."

Liu De'an gave a forced smile, then turned and picked up the lamp.

"hope so."

"Also, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

She didn't say another word and walked swiftly into the depths of the woods.

The affairs on the Sumeru side still await her attention.

"……etc."

The Thunderfire Sorcerer paused, his brow furrowing slightly.

"what's up."

"You must deliver this document to the Doctor in secret."

The cold light illuminated Krobor's face, which flickered between light and shadow. As Lyudmila took the document, her pupils contracted sharply.

On the first page of the document, the fools' soldiers lay sprawled on the ground, their deaths remarkably uniform.

The second page contains an old experimental record.

She was very familiar with that record.

If it weren't for that incident, she wouldn't be in this adjutant position now.

"what do you mean……"

"Whether it is or not, let the Doctor decide."

The dim purple light of the Thunder Lamp disappeared into the darkness, and the Whispering Forest fell into a deathly silence once again.

But beneath this silence, undercurrents were stirring.
