Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

[Beep~ Simulated cooling complete.]

[Adding to character template... Template confirmed—]

[Congratulations on obtaining the '???' template. Simulated location: Fontaine, time: approximately 400 years ago.]

"???"

When Su Chen saw the simulation prompt, he almost couldn't resist blowing up the solar disk.

Although he had been trying to comprehend the power of the solar disk, he was also looking forward to the start of the next simulation.

After all, according to the fusion mission, as long as the template in the next simulation reaches the red level, the soul can be fused.

He had a premonition that once the mission was completed, those who remained...

(The talent "Do As I Say" in the previous chapter has been changed to "Rule Editor," which those who read the previous chapter will recognize.)

"Rule 1 - All Fontaines are Frinina's dogs (crossed out, the reason is that I am also a Fontaine)."

"Rule 2 - All Fontaines are servants of Funina (invalid rule, failure)."

"Rule 3 - Funinna is the best (invalid rule, failure)."

Rules were written out and then crossed out one by one in the notebook.

From initially blurring the lines, gradually narrowing the scope and energy efficiency to form rules that should be effective, but... they are only supposed to be. Su Chen frowned slightly.

Even before entering the department, you can hear that confident and cheerful laughter, which is very infectious, as well as occasional exclamations and applause from the surroundings. What kind of person can interact with people to this extent even when walking on the street?

Su Chen recalled the materials he had read before the simulation. The Great Tree King's evaluations of people were always quite fair. She described the water goddess Funina as a "performer," a "big star," and an "emotional master." Although she sometimes did things that were not quite divine, she could usually turn them into dramatic endings. Therefore, what might be considered improper in other countries was perfectly acceptable in Fontainebleau.

Chapter 126 Judgment of the Water God [W-word request for monthly votes and full subscription!]

Design proposal for the Opizley Opera House

Three days later, at the Privy Council, in the Logistics Department.

Looking at the report personally delivered by the Water God, Su Chen fell silent.

"Lady Funina, are you serious?"

Su Chen initially thought Fu Ningna was joking when she proposed spending 10 billion yuan to build a super-large opera house three days ago, but he didn't expect her to actually come up with a plan today.

"Hmph~ Of course it's true. When has the Demon God Fukaros ever gone back on her word?" Funina maintained the arrogant demeanor befitting a deity. Although this was Su Chen's office, their conversation could still be overheard by outsiders, so she had to constantly remind herself to avoid revealing her identity.

"Can I ask why you're so fixated on this?"

Although Funina hid it well, Su Chen could still see the deep fatigue in her expression. It was quite a workload to produce a design proposal in three days, even with help from others.

I glanced through some of them and found that they were actually quite well done.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised. Could this guy be a genius?

Because Funina's daily water level monitoring work is still ongoing, and she is said to often offer some professional opinions, although it seems natural for her to be a deity, Su Chen knows that she is human... or rather, a god with a human body?

Forget about it, he couldn't be bothered with those things, because that wasn't the problem at hand.

“The gods just want to build an opera house, what’s the problem? I’m the water goddess, do I need a reason for this?” Funina said.

"Lady Funinna, there's no one else here, and no one outside could possibly be eavesdropping on us, so please stop pretending in front of me."

Blue rule [Absolute Territory]: Eavesdropping on Lord Ryder's conversations with others is prohibited in the Logistics Department.

These are rules that apply only within the office area, and there is virtually no chance of them being broken.

Although these small-scale rules are not very useful, they can help Su Chen become familiar with rule writing and provide him with stable rule power, so overall they are still good.

“I… um.” Always being seen through so easily, Furina seemed a little frustrated, but the thought that at least Su Chen was the only one left immediately cheered her up. “Didn’t I say that I could cooperate with you, but you have to help me build the Opizley Opera House?”

"So what's your reason for being so persistent?"

"Didn't it say so in the report?"

"Using the Cardinal Decree to collect 'Lawful Compensation Energy' as an energy source to maintain the normal operation of various places... Hmm, very good. I won't ask how you did such a great invention. Besides that, is it necessary to build an entire opera house just for a Cardinal Decree? There's one that's ready to use right now."

Su Chen knew that Funina had a secret. If the description in the report about the Cardinal of the Decree was true, then such an invention was something that only a god could do.

However, considering that he and Funina are partners, they should respect each other's secrets. In addition, Funina will indeed be the water goddess in five hundred years. Isn't it normal for a god to have secrets?

But building such a large opera house is not something that can be done simply by saying a few words.

Furina was silent for a moment, then looked back at the doorway and said, "I just want to give those who have nothing to do and can't survive a chance to work... You said that even if I could become a true god, it would take a very long time, but the people of Fontaine can't wait that long. I'm stupid and can't think of any other way, so even if this is the only way, it's good to provide a livelihood for the people living in the lower districts while building the opera house."

So that's how it is.

“Lady Furina,” Su Chen put down the report, “I need to remind you that if the opera house is built according to the report, the cost will be far more than 10 billion Mora.”

"I know."

"Do you know how many people are involved in this? And how many of them would agree to use this money to provide jobs for 'lower' people?"

“They are not inferiors!” Funina retorted forcefully. “They are citizens of Fontainebleau just like everyone else!”

“Yes, you’re right, but some people don’t see it that way.” Su Chen shook his head slightly. “If it were a few million Mora, I could just write it down and allocate it to you, but this amount… you need to know where the money in the treasury goes. The normal operation of institutions like the Privy Council, the Tribunal, the Special Patrol Team, the Shadow Chaser… requires a lot of money. The research project funding from the Academy of Sciences is also a huge sum. And… well, the money that the leaders spend on food, drink, and personal expenses. Putting all that aside, the amount that actually flows down to the lower levels to build Fontaine is actually very small.”

Fu Ningna was taken aback.

She hadn't really thought about any of that.

However, after hearing what Su Chen said, isn't corruption rampant within the Fengdan administrative agency?

She immediately became furious: "What?! You've spent all the money!"

Su Chen shrugged, looking completely innocent: "Don't count me in. I'm the most honest person in the entire Privy Council, everyone knows that."

Fu Ningna pursed her lips. "Of course you're honest with so much money in your hands. You don't need to be corrupt at all."

just.

If what Su Chen said is true, then once this project is launched, it will affect the interests of almost all of Fengdan's top officials, meaning it is impossible for it to gain support.

Her title as the Water Goddess is still unstable. Because it is beneficial to stabilizing the situation in Fontaine, most official institutions, including the Privy Council, support her. However, once her actions affect the interests of the nobility, those who initially tried to clear her name will probably immediately turn against her.

Funina has researched this point, so she knows it very well.

She couldn't be careless. Even with those who supported her, she had to figure out whether they were truly devoted to their beliefs or had ulterior motives.

"Then... is it not going to work?" Funina asked, somewhat dejected.

If I say no, will you give up?

“Of course not.” Funina shook her head. “I will not give up. Even if this path doesn’t work, I will find other ways.”

“So,” Su Chen said with a smile, not surprised by Funina’s answer, “in that case, let’s go all out.”

"Eh?"

Funina was taken aback. "But didn't you say..."

“Yes, it’s difficult.” Su Chen maintained his smile. “But we’re in the same boat, aren’t we? If you fall from power, I’ll be in real trouble.”

"Oh, is that so..."

Even so, Funina still felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Since becoming the Water Goddess, she has heard nothing but doubts and slanders. Even those who believe in her do so not because of her identity as 'Funina', but because of her identity as the 'Water Goddess'. Moreover, she has to create dramatic twists and turns at all times to 'please them'.

Yes, humble water god.

To be honest, Fu Ningna feels quite tired. After more than a month of acting, this is how it is. Heaven knows if she can keep going.

So at least... having someone to be with her and understand her is enough, isn't it?

"When shall we begin?" Funina asked expectantly.

"No rush." ​​Su Chen stood up and led Funina to a recliner. "Come on, try out my new nap gadget. This thing cost me tens of thousands of Mora."

"Huh? No, maybe we don't need to?"

"The proposal to not lie down is rejected."

"Hmm..."

What?! This kind of thing costs tens of thousands of Mora? A nap tool? How could it possibly work... Hehe~(。-ω-)zzz~~~

Fell asleep.

It only took a few minutes.

He glanced at the sleeping water god and walked out of the office.

He instructed the others not to disturb them.

The Water God is planning a groundbreaking project.

“A weak, pitiful, and helpless…person.” Su Chen’s lips curled up. “But the way he tries is quite cute. In that case, let’s start from here.”

I casually opened the rules editor.

[Rules for Drafting - 'Divine Authority': 1. Lady Funina has the authority to mobilize five million Mora... Judgment failed... Two million Mora... Judgment failed... Five hundred thousand Mora... Judgment successful. Valid · Blue]

"From 500,000 to 10 billion..."

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

This task is a bit difficult.

...

Over the next few days, you began planning the opera house's funding sources. Currently, Fontaine's fiscal allocation is almost precisely planned down to every single Mora, with clear instructions on which Mora should go into which person's pocket. Therefore, it's simply unrealistic to try and extract at least tens of billions of Moras under these circumstances.

Even if you hold significant financial power... or rather, precisely because of this, as the number one fan of Fumina, only by establishing a firm foothold can you better help Fumina.

You begin by writing rules, attempting to create rules that favor the situation. After repeated experiments, you succeed.

[The Power of Money: In the Logistics Department, every act of loyalty can be purchased with Mora. Limited to Ryder's use.]

Although it is still a valid blue rule, unlike the previous rules, the "power of money" does not need to be written into the logistics department's rules. It is invisible yet effective, and is close to a kind of 'common sense'.
