The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 49, Mello Petersburg
"Is this Mello Petersburg? It doesn't look that great."

Fugate walked out of the void holding the map.

"It would be more accurate to say that this is a large factory rather than a prison." Fuget touched his chin and looked at the people working hard below.

Of course, while some people work hard, others slack off.

In addition to prison guards, there are also prison bullies and the like in prison.

Even because this place is relatively large, comparable to big cities, the prison bullies here can even form organizations, which are the legendary prison gangs.

I don’t know if these people have the leisure to do these things because they are not busy enough with their work.

"It's more reasonable to say this is a prison than to say it's another city." Fugate said, stroking his chin and looking at the busy workers.

"But... I am a little curious about how they built such a huge building so deep under the sea."

He couldn't solve this problem with such advanced technology in his previous life, but in his more backward technology, Fontaine completed it very well.

And it was not completed just now, it was completed hundreds of years ago.

"Great strength can bring about miracles, but it doesn't seem like it."

"Head nurse, have you noticed that someone seems to be watching us?" A strong young man asked the petite Meilushin.

"Really? Duke? Why don't I feel anything?" Sigwen said after looking around.

"But speaking of this, my colleagues in the Shadow Chasing Court and the Law Enforcement Court seem to have discovered some strange cases in recent years."

"Oh? What case? Normal cases should be very easy for Meilushin."

"It is said that he is an alchemist master named Nathanless, and his companions cannot detect his presence or any traces he left behind." Sigwen said.

"Then Villette doesn't care about this matter?" said Duke Leosley.

It has only been a few years since Leosli became the Duke, but Leosli is already familiar with managing the entire Melo Petersburg.

As long as the prisoners don't break Leosley's rules, there will be no problem.

"Strictly speaking, neither the Court of Enforcement nor the Court of Shadow Chasers has any evidence of the alchemist's crime," Sigwen said. "There's no way to even find him, let alone catch him."

"In fact, even if I stand there and let them catch me, they may not be able to catch me, unless the Supreme Judge takes action personally." Fugate said with a smile.

"? When did you come?" Leosley stared at Fugate as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Are you the alchemist? Hmm~ I can't see you after all." Sigwen looked at Fuget curiously, "It's like a ball of air."

"No... Compared to the air, you seem more like an empty bubble, constantly taking back the breath you emit."

"That's correct," said Fugate, smiling.

"Would you like a cup?" Sigwen brought a cup of something that looked strange.

Fugate took it with a normal expression and took a sip.

"It's a very good medicine. It even has some improvements in taste... well~ although the direction of the improvements is not suitable for humans." Fugate gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Would you like some black tea?" Leosley also breathed a sigh of relief. This guy didn't look like he was here to cause trouble.

"Thank you." Fergate nodded.

The two enjoyed some snacks and black tea before starting to chat.

"So you are here on behalf of the Ninth Executive Officer of the Fatui Executive Officers, [Rich Man] Pantalone?"

"of course."

"The rich man wants to work with you, the Duke, to plan, develop, and use the charter."

"Of course, it can be said more clearly, that is, using the closed small society of Melo Petersburg to complete a small social experiment."

"That is to say, verification that Mora is not a necessity and not the only equivalent." Fugate said slowly.

"It sounds like a pretty impressive plan, so what can we gain from it?" asked Leosley.

"Of course, you can also gain a lot during this period, such as... a healthier financial environment, more abundant resources, and so on." Fugate scratched his head and said, "I am only here to express my intention to cooperate. The details still need to be discussed with the rich man in person, Duke."

"That's all, this is a gift for both of you." Fugate took out a medicine box and handed it to Leosli and Sigwen.

"It's time for me to leave too." As he spoke, Fuget's figure gradually became transparent and then disappeared.

"It's really hard to figure out." Leosley scratched his head and said, "So he came here just to talk about this?"

When Leosli was thinking about whether to meet with the [Rich Man] and reach a cooperation.

Sigwen has already opened the potion box.

There are three kinds of medicine in the medicine box.

They are Gem Potion, Intelligence Development Potion and Justice Potion.

The former was given to the Duke, the middle one was given to Sigwen, and the last one was given to the injured prisoners and prison guards.

"They are all good potions, but only the potion of justice is the best."

Although the Justice Potion is the potion with the lowest technical content here, Sigweng likes it very much. She always does this.

"I'm here to take a look too," said Leosley.

"Wow, that's great! Let me see what you wrote."

"Gem Potion, cost price 15 million Moras, Forgate Intelligence Development Potion, cost price 11 million Moras, Justice Potion, cost price 10.3 million Moras."

"Baoyu potion, is this for me? Open the human body limiter, repair the hidden injuries of the human body, improve the efficiency of exercise, and expand the limits of the human body."

"Fuget intelligence development potion can open up the human brain, open up the brain nerves, and develop the brain's potential. This is indeed very suitable for you, Sigwen. With this, you can develop more potions."

"The Justice Potion can be mixed with clean water to form the Shadow Chaser Potion, which can heal injuries and suppress curses... It seems that the gifts given by the other party are very targeted."

"But then again, as Melusin, can you take this 'Fuget Intelligence Development Potion'?"

"Let me analyze it myself." Sigwen said, "You speak as if you know everything."

Leosli took his own gem potion and handed the rest to Sigwen.

"It's better for you to keep this thing." said Leosli.

As he said that, he poured the precious jade potion directly into his mouth.

"Hey! I haven't analyzed it yet, what if it's poisonous?"

"That guy doesn't look like someone who would poison someone," Leosley said. "I couldn't even sense the danger when facing that guy. I even needed him to remind me."

"I am still too complacent." Leosli said to himself, "I can still become stronger."

At this time, the precious jade potion began to take effect as it was digested. Leosli could feel that his body was full of vitality, and some hidden injuries seemed to have been repaired. The strength that had originally slowed down seemed to be able to grow at a very fast rate again.

"Wow, this works really quickly."

On the other side, on a coast very close to Melo Petersburg, Fugate's figure slowly emerged and appeared in front of Alechino.

"How did the talk go?" Alechino was waiting for Fuget not far from Melo Petersburg, so Fuget naturally appeared here after leaving Melo Petersburg.

"Not bad, the gift has been sent out. Although the Duke is a young man, he is also a smart man and will not refuse such a good thing." said Fugate.

"I guess rich people will also be cautious when conducting experiments. After all, the only place in the entire Teyvat that meets the requirements of his sociological experiment is Merlot Petersburg in Fontaine." Alechino nodded in agreement with Fuget's statement, and also expressed his own opinion.

"Next, you will be in charge of dealing with the rich people. I will leave first. I really don't like these wealthy businessmen and politicians. Most of them have even dirtier minds than the Doctor." Fuget waved goodbye to Alechino.

Alecino sighed. She didn't like these wealthy businessmen and politicians. But with the entire [Heartland House] as a burden, Alecino didn't have the confidence to directly and forcefully reject these wealthy businessmen and politicians.

After all, she is just a combatant. Although she is very strong, she can only rank sixth among the many executive officers of the Fatui.

Without causing the curse to break out, the best he could do was to deal with the guy called Guo Beng.

And it is said to be normal...

There are five strong and monster-like beings ahead of her.

"Although I am a monster myself." Alechino silently lit the fire in his hand and went to the Northland Bank.

The people stationed there are all the Fatui from the rich family, as well as debt collectors and the like. Although the Northland Bank is often used as a base by other executives, its grassroots staff are all Pantalone's people.

After all, the Fatui from other factions cannot understand complicated matters such as finance and lending, which require very professional financial knowledge.

"Your Excellency." The manager of the Northland Bank saluted Alecino.

"Tell Pantalone that the connection with Melo Petersburg has been established, and let him negotiate the rest himself." After saying this, the [servant] left.

"Yes, my Lord Servant." Although he was full of doubts, the staff of the Northland Bank did not dare to ask Alechino, the notorious executive. He only needed to convey the original words of the Lord Servant to the Lord Rich.

What happens between big people has nothing to do with small people, and this is also the way of survival for small people.

······
Just when Fuget had entered the High Heaven (subspace) and had not yet returned to the human world, a psychic signal suddenly came to his ears.

"Teacher, come and help?" Hetala's voice appeared in Fuget's ears.

"Hetala, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Fuget asked.

"It seems my offspring is going to die." Hetala said.

"? The boy who holds the Eye of God?" asked Fuget.

"No, it's the old one."

"The wealthy businessman with poor health?" Fugate had some impression of him, but had almost forgotten it. It took him a while to remember it.

"It's called Krips," said Hetala.

"Then here I come." Fugate came to a meadow through positioning.

"This... seems there is no need to rescue him anymore." Fugate touched his chin, looking at Diluk who was kneeling on the ground and Cripps who was almost committing suicide.

"Even you can't do anything?" Hetala appeared in front of Fuget and said.

"In addition to his life force being squeezed out, he also has congenital deficiencies." Fuget said, "Speaking of which, this guy inherited your power, so why is he still congenitally deficient?"

"Who knows?" Hetala was also a little puzzled. "I just vaguely felt that it might be related to fate."

"Speaking of which, this kid is really strong now." It was only then that Fugate noticed Diluk's level.

He is actually at level 63, which is enough to be the captain in Mondstadt. The key is that he is only fourteen years old and his potential has not been fully developed.

"This guy just became the captain..." Hetala shook her head and said.

Fuget was a little speechless. He had already become the captain. "This guy is only fourteen years old. He can become the captain at such a young age. And his father died... What kind of script is this? This is..."

However, Fuget recalled a lot of information about [Diluk], which was some information obtained in his previous life. Because it was relatively blank and without emotion (washed by the power of Ix), Fuget could not easily associate these memories.

Fortunately, just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean I can’t remember it.

"Hmm~ It really is the protagonist's script. In addition to the original script, there is also a portable grandma's script."

"Forget it. I'd better not disturb his growth trajectory."

"The misfortune that happened to him has already happened. It is enough to leave the rest to Hetala."

Just as he was about to say goodbye to Hetala, Fuget sensed a familiar breath. The breath was a little disordered, probably because a battle had just taken place.

"Greetings to you, Zandik. How could there be any being capable of fighting with you? It's a little unbelievable." Fuget looked at the masked [Doctor].

The aura of this guy is very powerful, and his level is at least LV90. Fugate said that he is no match for him at all, and this should not be the strongest slice of [Doctor].

"So it's you, Senior. I didn't expect you to be here." [Doctor] Slice greeted Fgate politely. "As for the one who fought with me, it was the Demon Dragon Usa. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"Hmm, I seem to have some impression of it. Is it the one that often causes dragon disasters in Mondstadt?"

"But why did you expel it? Mond is not so short of talent... Oh~ I see, it's dirty politics again." said Fugate.

"Then I'll leave. If you have any problems, you can come to Fontaine to find me." With that, Fuget disappeared.

[Doctor]'s face changed drastically because he didn't notice how Fugate left.

But soon [Doctor] began to ponder it with great interest.

"Let's finish this boring task quickly..." [Doctor] muttered.

According to the division of responsibilities, this matter should be the business of [Madam], but if [Madam] does not lift the seal, she will not be a match for the evil dragon Ursa, so the commander-in-chief Piero asked [Doctor] to take action.

The downside of slicing too many pieces is that you have to do all the dirty and tiring work.

She can be described as a model worker among the fools, and is comparable to the lady who wants to burn herself out in a few years.

After disappearing from Mond, Fugate returned to Fontaine. When he came back, he found that there were not many people in the Buffati Mansion.

After asking the people who stayed behind, we found out that everyone had gone to watch Linny and Linnette's magic show.

This was Linny and Linnet's first public performance and first large-scale magic trick.

Before, they only performed small magic tricks on the street and were considered wandering magicians at most. As long as this public performance is successful, Linny and Linnet can be called official magicians.

"Come to think of it, I haven't watched their magic show for a long time. I don't know how good their magic skills are now." Fugate touched his hair, straightened his clothes, and then went to the street.

A theater was rented as the stage for this magic show. The tickets for the magic show were not expensive, only two hundred Mora, and the number of tickets was not large, only more than two hundred.

Most of the people in Buffati Mansion came in as staff, backstage and atmosphere group.

When Fugate arrived at the magic show, the show had already begun. Fortunately, it had not started for long, and Linny and Linnette were performing some small magic tricks to warm up the audience.

The attendance rate in the stands was pretty good, probably about 70% to 80% full.

The people of Fontaine like such lively scenes, so magic shows, operas and the like are always attended by many people.

After buying the ticket, Fugate got in.

People around cheered from time to time because of Linnie's wonderful performance.

Fugate also nodded with satisfaction.

Today, Linny and Linnet have not yet obtained the Eye of God, so they are both mortals. It is very difficult to achieve such magical effects with mortals' physical fitness. It can be seen that the two of them really worked hard.

The fact that some duel agents carrying swords could see the two men's methods but still chose to applaud and cheer was proof of this.

"Speaking of which, Xia Mian, you are here too." Fugate reached his hand into the food box in front of Xia Mian.

There were some candies in it, which Fgate liked very much as well. Their brains often worked at high speed, so sugar supplementation was crucial. Moreover, their digestive systems had been strengthened in many ways, so the digestion efficiency was very high, and there was no need to worry about getting fat.

"Xu Mi is almost done with his work." Xia Mian said, "Speaking of which, are you so relieved about Xu Mi that you don't even go back to check on him?"

"I heard that some scholars dug up your grave."

"···How did they dig it out?" Fugate asked curiously.

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this?"
