In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

If Shadow is a homebody, then Fukaros in front of her is even more so.

She left the human face outside and hid here, where hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye.

We can't be completely ignorant about the outside world; you could say we're in complete darkness.

However, to Xu Guang's surprise, Fukalos refused.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not really keen on accepting your suggestion."

Hearing what the other person said, Xu Guang looked puzzled.

"why?"

Fukaros said calmly, "The fate of the Fontaines is my problem, and since it started with me, it should also end with me."

Well, he's still stubborn.

Xu Guang looked at her, stroking his chin in thought.

She was fearless and didn't value her own life. In her opinion, she should be the one to end this matter, even if it cost her her life.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

The conditions he offered were indeed very tempting. If you're dealing with an ambitious person, you hardly need to waste any effort; they'll agree without hesitation because in their eyes, they're willing to pay any price to achieve that goal.

If they are faced with someone who has something to protect, they will agree, because they are willing to give everything to protect the pure land in their hearts.

But the current situation is that Fukaros is very confident.

She already knew that the other party was confident in solving the problem, and that the price would be their life.

Therefore, she is not afraid, nor is she confused.

"That's fine, I'm not the kind of person who forces people to buy or sell. But have you thought about this?"

Fukaros raised her eyes and asked curiously, "What?"

Is this fair to Furina?

Upon hearing the name, Fukalos said with some emotion, "My human face is indeed a bit unfair to her, but she is me, and I am her. For the sake of Fontaine, I believe she can understand."

Xu Guang smiled and shook his head: "No, I think it's unfair to her. Making someone without divine power play the role of a god means she has to be careful every day and try to figure out what the real god will do and won't do. She has hardly lived a single day of the life she wanted."

Fucaros nodded: "I know all that, so after the plan is over, I will let her go and let Navelette become the new water goddess, while she can use the rest of her long life to get everything she wanted in the past."

Hearing this, Xu Guang understood.

The other party had already arranged everything.

No matter how it begins or ends, even Fontaine's future has been planned out.

Indeed, without him, the story would have unfolded as Fucarus described.

After her sacrifice, the people of Fontainebleau no longer had to worry about crises, because the prophecy had been dispelled, and the new ruler was the proud and powerful Water Dragon King.

Funina can also unload her burdens and live a peaceful life.

But he came here specifically for the other party; if he didn't get anything, then his trip would have been in vain.

Xu Guang then snapped his fingers and handed a new contract to the other party.

Looking at the item, Fukaros smiled and took it, then her expression froze.

She pointed to the words above, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

"What do you mean?"

The contract states that one day in the future, the abyss will experience an unprecedented uprising, one that is immense in scale and far more dangerous than ever before.

If she agrees, Xu Guang will provide assistance on that day; if she doesn't agree, he will take advantage of her misfortune.

A threat, you know.

Fukalos's eyes turned cold.

Xu Guang didn't care at all and said with great interest, "I understand very well that your preparations for the prophecy are foolproof. Even if Funina is exposed, you will have a backup plan. But what will you do after that?"

The problem of the abyss is no exaggeration; in recent years, countries have felt a surge in pressure.

The number of casualties is increasing every moment.

This is an unavoidable crisis, and everyone must be prepared.

Xu Guang felt that it might be related to him; every time he broke through the world barrier, the power of the abyss would become stronger.

However, after calculations, he discovered that even without his presence, the Abyss would inevitably reach a critical point someday in the future, causing a catastrophe.

This is unstoppable.

The slumber of reason may also be related to this.

Of course, even if Xu Guang did this every day, it would still take at least five to ten years for that catastrophe to strike.

So let's just consider this as one of his negotiation tactics.

"So what is your answer? Do you choose to accept my proposal and save the country, or do you refuse and make pointless sacrifices, plunging Fontaine into crisis again after some time?"

Fukalos fell into his longest silence to date.

She looked into the other person's eyes, trying to discern something, but there was only calmness in those pupils.

She doesn't quite understand.

Why should this be so.

So he asked.

"All this trouble and effort you went through, just to reproduce with me?"

Xu Guang nodded calmly.

Fukalos was even more puzzled.

"But with your abilities, if you could really do what you said, wouldn't you be able to find anyone in this world you want? Why do you have to do it this way?"

Xu Guang rolled his eyes: "Then I want to be with you, is that not allowed?"

Fukaros shook her head: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, if it's for the sake of reproduction, I wouldn't refuse you. Why are you doing so much?"

Xu Guang: "?"

Chapter 369: Missing Status Bar

What the hell?

Xu Guang scratched his head. This time, he was really at a loss. He looked up at the other person's status bar and it was indeed Fukalos, no doubt about it. So what did this mean?

Seeing his confusion, Fukaros tilted his head and said, "Although I haven't done what you did, when it comes to creating life, the entire Fontaine is my people, and reproduction is a very normal thing. Why are you going to such great lengths?"

Xu Guang fell silent. He looked at the other person's status bar, but there was no "perverted woman" option. So what did this mean?

Fukalos continued, "And if the plan goes smoothly, I will die in the near future, and even if I am pregnant then, I will not be able to give birth."

What she didn't understand was why the other person insisted on doing that kind of thing with her if there was no future for it.

In her view, mere physical intimacy did not hold much significance.

Seeing Fukaros speak as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, Xu Guang nodded in realization.

Oh ~

He's a simpleton.

To verify, he asked, "You mean, doing those things in those videos doesn't matter to you?"

Fukalos shook his head: "Not really. At least I wouldn't like breeding activities with a lot of people together. That's no different from being a wild animal."

So what this means is that one-on-one is possible.

Xu Guang sighed. So all that effort he had put in, involving both a deal and coercion, had turned out to be a huge waste.

And the other party would never refuse this request in the first place?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Xu Guang's expression showed a hint of helplessness. He was just following his usual way of thinking and subconsciously assumed that the other person was the same as everyone else.

That's reasonable.

After all, he's a demon god who's been staying home for hundreds of years.

But since I've already agreed...

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today."

Xu Guang immediately finalized the plan.

Fukalos paused for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "That's possible, but it's really... amazing that humans can feel pleasure from something like this."

After saying this, Fukalos suddenly noticed that there was a bathtub in the space.

Xu Guang was already lying inside, warmly greeting her.

"Hurry up and come here. I've been wanting to see what the water god is like for a long time. Is he the god with the most water element among all the gods?"

Fukaros sighed: "If it's a water elemental, of course, after all, I am the water god, but if it's something else, you might be disappointed."

Xu Guang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Fukaros nodded: "I'm not some greenhorn. Just because I can't understand doesn't mean I don't know."

As she spoke, she took off her coat and some other things that might get in the way, and stepped into the bathtub.

The water temperature was just right, and she quite liked it if you ignored the fact that something might be poking her.

Holding this water goddess, who was almost a one-to-one with Funina, Xu Guang's hands were not very well-behaved.

It was very soft and tender, but not fragrant.

Or perhaps the other person simply doesn't smell at all.

Fucaros looked down, blinked, and tacitly approved of the action.

Yeah, I didn't feel anything.

Xu Guang was in a playful mood. Since the other party didn't care, it was normal for him to go a little overboard.

And so, little by little, they crossed the line.

Fukaros felt the fingers that were now at negative distance and calmly moved to a more comfortable position.

She turned to look at the other person: "You seem very happy."

Xu Guang turned around and nodded.

"That's natural."

This is the Water God! Regardless of his current status and prestige on the Teyvat continent, he was extremely popular in his previous life.

Fukalos gave an "oh" and then fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Guang realized something.

He grabbed the other person's chin, turned them around, and looked at their expressionless face with some confusion.

"Logically, at this stage, your breathing should be faster and your face should be flushed. Why aren't you reacting at all?"

Fukalos replied, somewhat puzzled, "Does a little itchiness count?"

Xu Guang clicked his tongue, pulled up the other party's status bar, and decided to investigate.

He soon realized something was wrong.

Fukalos doesn't have a status bar like other characters, lacks high progress indicators, and doesn't have some of the more detailed ones.

He paused for a moment, then realized what he meant.

This person has split himself in two; the divine face possesses power and is also the executor of the plan, so absolute calmness is required.

It is highly likely that Fukaros eliminated all the unnecessary emotions.

Including but not limited to sex.

The fact that the human-faced Funina had acted so normally before made him realize that this was the case.

This is why, despite his superb skills, he couldn't elicit a response from the other party even after working on it for so long.

If it were any other character, their expressions would have changed three or four times already.

It's a little tricky.
