Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

This is Fontainebleau's main hub for talent.

The Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences, needless to say, is a research center.

The Grey River, the sewers of Fontainebleau, is a melting pot of all sorts of people. It's a place where scoundrels who know nothing, bankrupt businessmen, laborers, and former engineers and researchers who have committed crimes or offended people and are forced to wander the Grey River.

Of course, there are a few people who have relatively decent jobs, but the reason why they live in Grey River is unclear.

The goal of the Fontaine working group is to take away those talents who are willing to follow them and meet their screening criteria.

Fontaine has no shortage of talent.

Researchers and engineers who have made slightly more serious mistakes, especially those involving academic or economic issues, are rarely hired after leaving Melo Petersburg.

This kind of mistake may not necessarily be embezzlement or academic fraud.

People who actually did such things still hold high-level positions at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.

Most of them are trivial matters, such as the most typical one: obtaining research funding but not achieving corresponding results.

He was subsequently tried and imprisoned in Melo-Petersburg, and after his release, it was almost impossible for him to continue his research work.

Some people have a skill that allows them to make a living, but for most others...

They were left to wander, and were eventually driven into the Grey River.

Chapter 123: Choose one of two options, which one?

In addition, it also includes Petersburg, Melo.

According to the former researchers of the Fontaine Academy on Haiji Island, a significant number of the researchers who lost in the struggle were sent here.

The vast majority of them are probably still in prison.

They need to find a way to get into Mero Petersburg and recruit people.

This is also a point that the working group complained about a lot - why are the talents of Fontaine either in the sewers or in prison?

Despite their complaints, they still split into three groups and started working separately.

result……

No group made any progress.

"Has the Mo Mang Palace given us their approval yet?"

"It's approved, but only through one step. We still need to get approval from 17 departments, sign 21 agreements, and affix 35 seals before we can enter Melo Petersburg. The average processing time for each seal is about 7-14 days, and each application must be submitted individually."

"..."

The first thing they faced upon arrival was the overly bloated bureaucracy and complicated procedures of the Mo Mang Palace.

Even if they have already spent a huge sum of money on "legal consultation fees," it only saves them some time in researching and compiling materials.

As for the approval process, the required waiting time will still apply.

If they're lucky, they can enter Mero Petersburg in about six months; if they're unlucky, it will probably take more than a year.

Moreover, the above-mentioned situations that allow entry into Mero Petersburg are all ideal scenarios with good luck. If they are really unlucky, their applications may be rejected.

"How about we break the law and I steal your wallet?"

"Oh...is this appropriate?"

"The average time to enter Mero Petersburg through trial is only 3-9 days. Otherwise, what other methods do you have to quickly enter Mero Petersburg?"

"No."

The two looked to the side and saw the local legal advisor in Fontaineble whom they had hired at great expense.

"If you simply want to enter Mero Petersburg, that's certainly a good idea, but you're a foreigner and there's a chance you'll be deported. If you want to enter Mero Petersburg at the right time and leave after a short while, you need to do this..."

No wonder they hired a legal consultant at great expense.

Reliable!

They initially hired this legal consultant simply to help them organize their materials and go through the procedures, and secondly to avoid committing some strange crimes, such as the strange laws that prohibit the release of flying objects for the first three days of each month or prohibit naming pets Funina. But they never expected that it could be used in this way now!

Soon, on the advice of this legal consultant, the two on the street were happily fighting.

They were quickly separated and subdued by security guards who rushed over from the side.

"be honest!"

"go!"

As the two were being escorted away by the security guards, they did not forget to say goodbye to the legal advisor who had been brought in.

“Mr. Derek, after we leave, please inform our other colleagues of the situation and ask them to prepare outside the entrance of Mello Petersburg. They will also settle your consultation fees.”

"What, you have accomplices? What are you plotting? Confess yourselves when we get to the station!"

"No, no, no, we just want to get into Mello Petersburg..."

"What? You want to break him out of prison? You dare to cause trouble on that Duke's territory? You're really asking for it?"

"Huh? We didn't plan a prison break! Let us explain..."

Derek shrugged as he listened to the sounds fading into the distance.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone actively want to enter Melo Petersburg.

That place is avoided by the vast majority of Fontainebleau residents.

These days, there are more and more strange people.

However, he was just an ordinary consultant, and the employer's unusual needs were irrelevant to him.

Immediately afterwards, Derek set off to find the rest of their group.

The final payment hasn't been settled yet!

Apart from the two people in charge of Mero Petersburg who got off to a bad start and ended up getting themselves killed, the others weren't much better off.

The two people in charge of the Gray River entered the Gray River, enduring an indescribable odor.

"I really can't imagine how the people living in the Grey River can endure this smell and live here in a dark, damp place with no sunlight, no ventilation, and the unique stench of the sewers."

"Be content. The only downsides here is the poor environment and lack of sunlight. At least the Mo Mang Palace regularly provides supplies, and the Thorn Rose Society is still maintaining order in the Gray River, isn't it? It's much better than Inazuma. Which do you prefer: the unique smell of the sewers or the pollution from the evil spirits?"

"Uh... although neither of them are good, if I had to choose between the two, I would still choose the sewer."

So, what do you think?

The two climbed the ladder down to the sewer and walked along it for a while.

The image of this dark, sunless underground town beneath Fontaine came into view.

"It's unbelievable that this place can be so...clean and tidy?"

They had gradually gotten used to the smell in the air, and if you ignored the smell, the buildings in front of them were not bad.

It was messy but not dirty; in fact, it could be described as clean.

Clearly, someone is doing the most basic work; at least cleaning is being taken care of.

"The Rose Society is truly a remarkable organization..."

One of them muttered to himself.

Establishing a certain level of order in this godforsaken place is far more reliable than following the will of Heaven.

They can hardly say whether Tianling Fengxing is stupid or evil, or both.

The burly man standing to the side glanced at them.

He was also a member of the Rose Society, and he felt honored to hear the unintentional praise from others.

Although he had only recently joined the company, there was no doubt that such praise affirmed the correctness of his choice and the significance of his work.

"In the territory of the Rose Society, be careful not to fight, steal, or disrupt order. Then you can do whatever you want. If you encounter any trouble, you can shout for help."

Perhaps it was the two men's unintentional praise that won the burly man's favor, for he spoke up to remind them of something.

The two people who came to Grey River exchanged a glance.

They didn't expect to gain the favor of strangers, or perhaps it was just the burly man's job.

"Thank you!"

The two men thanked the burly man.

They then nodded to each other and parted ways.

The two of them took a general look at the structure of the Grey River.

Surprisingly, it was a three-dimensional layout, with more than one floor in use. The upper and middle floors were fixed in place by metal, the sturdiness of which was unknown, and it seemed to be used for living.

"Let's take a look around and check out the situation in Grey River before making a decision."

Chapter 124 Unjust Charges

After wandering around the Grey River, the two unexpectedly discovered that the most direct and effective way was to contact the Rose Society and ask them for help.

The second option is to set up a table in the center of the square, then put up a large, eye-catching poster, and wait for people to see it and come to you, just like that legal consultant.

The next step was to post the information on the pub's notice board.

For Mora's sake, let the Rose Association provide a list to help find people... It shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Anyway, their current Mora was prepaid by Qunyu Pavilion.

Without further ado, the two immediately got to work, setting up the site while contacting the upper echelons of the Rose Association through grassroots members.

They displayed a large, eye-catching banner at the scene: "We are sincerely recruiting current or former researchers, engineers, and technical officers of the Fontaine Academy to engage in various research activities. Work location is optional in Liyue Mondstadt, and the compensation is excellent."

Below the eye-catching slogan is a line of smaller print: A certificate of no criminal record or a criminal record certificate, as well as proof of scientific research achievements or papers are required.

They don't care about crimes like "wasting public property" or "wasting academic resources." Under Fontaine's legal system, these serious crimes are mostly caused by a lack of output.

The output of scientific research results has a large element of luck involved. This does not even include the fact that some people do not have no results at all, but rather that they have overspent their budgets and eventually their funding chain breaks down.

From the perspective of Haiji Island, these charges are obviously insignificant and can be addressed another time.

They are more concerned about charges such as academic fraud and embezzlement, which are the key areas of their review.
