Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 399, The Performance in Progress

Chapter 399, The Performance in Progress
Xing, Liuying, and the others earned over 1 million credits in just one hour by selling autographed photos of Funina and Robin.

Xing glanced at the balance and said to Hu Tao and the others.

"We'll keep 100 million of this money as funds for our occasional entertainment."

Shall we donate the rest?

Xing and his friends set up a stall just for fun and to have some fun; they didn't really want to make money.

Therefore, they plan to keep a small portion of the money to treat themselves, and donate the rest to charity.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Tao offered her suggestion.

"How about we donate it to Cocolia? She has an orphanage there."

Firefly thought this was a great suggestion.

“I think it’s okay. We went there last time, and there were many homeless children there.”

We'll use this money to buy some food and clothes, and the rest will be transferred directly to…

Amber, Yura, and the others had no objections and all expressed their agreement.

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Xing took out her phone.

"Come on, everyone, come over here and let's see what we can buy."

Walnut, Firefly, Amber and the others gathered around.

Several heads huddled together, staring at the phone in Xing's hand.

In other words, Xing's phone was big. Now that she had money, she bought a new phone from Toppa. This phone's main feature was its large screen, and it also had three gold beads embedded in the back.

Original name: Gold-plated large-screen phone.

The group strolled through the mall, offering their suggestions.

"This dress is so cute, we can buy two thousand of them and give them to the little girls to wear as uniforms."

"Buy more meat. Belleburg doesn't lack food supplies right now, but the variety is limited."

Last time I visited the orphanage, I saw they only had a small piece of meat a day.

"Give me some vegetables too. Belleburg's vegetables are selling for exorbitant prices, so I'll buy this vegetable gift pack, which contains many different kinds."

We have the money, let's buy 1 copies!

"You want fruit too? Buy this kind, it keeps for a long time."

The group spent more than half an hour buying supplies worth approximately 2000 million credits.

Subsequently, the remaining 8000 million was directly transferred to Cocolia.

After much back and forth between Cocolia and Hoshino, Cocolia finally accepted the gesture of goodwill.

Cocolia invited Xing and the others to come over tomorrow; the children miss them.

Xing glanced at the invitation Cocolia had sent in the chat window on the screen, then looked at the others.

"How to say?"

Firefly, Amber, and Walnut exchanged glances and agreed.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well have some fun! Wherever I go is fine for having fun.

The woman standing nearby witnessed the entire scene of the group donating supplies.

I can only feel envious. He made 100 million in one hour. I would have to sell 1 million servings of beef jerky to earn that much.

Wow, the difference is just too big!

The lady couldn't help but exclaim, "Furina and Robin are really famous! Just one photo of them can sell for such a high price!"

I'm not bad looking, so could I develop my career in that direction?
As for your question about whether women would be too proud to lower themselves?
Just kidding, my wife would go through fire and water for winter.

If I can earn a huge amount of credits for Zhidong, what does performing on stage matter?
I was a nun when I was in Mondstadt, so my singing ability is definitely not a problem.

I heard that Barbara from Mondstadt has already brought Mondstadt nearly 500 billion credits.

As her senior, I should definitely not be worse than Barbara, right?

The woman suddenly seemed a little insecure, after all, she hadn't sung in over 500 years.

The woman decided that she would practice secretly when she got back.

If possible, I can give it a try; making money is the top priority.

Every time they participated in inter-state activities, the other party's lavish finances made Zhi Dong and his group extremely envious.

Fontaine, in particular, is incredibly wealthy.

And then there's Liyue, their industry chain is so complete! There are so many ways to make money.

Sumeru, Mondstadt, and Inazuma each have their own idol singer.

Local industries are also starting to flourish. For example, after this sales trip, I expect to receive a large number of orders when I get back.

At that time, the three kingdoms will be able to get on the right track and sell their goods throughout the universe.

Ultimately, these companies all share a common characteristic in their history of success.

That is, there is an outstanding artist who gives back the money they earn to their respective countries.

In this way, they can quickly complete the most difficult preliminary work.

The most troublesome part of any industry is building its supply chain in the early stages, which is also where the most money is spent.

Now that winter is here, people are poor. Even the rich can't implement good projects because they lack the funds.

In the afternoon.

Xing, Hu Tao, Amber, and the others ran back to Fontaine and went crazy for a while.

At dusk, a few people finally squeezed onto the cruise ship to head to the Opizley Opera House.

I just finished queuing up for a few people; the entire shipping center is packed with people heading to the Opéra Garnier Opera.

Xing was filled with regret. She wished she hadn't come and had just stayed near the Opiclie Opera House.

For example, go to the beach, or go visit Funina and see how her preparations are going.

More than an hour later, Xing and his group finally arrived at their private room.

There were so many people outside, it was so crowded that if it weren't for the wind-up mechanical soldiers maintaining order, we really wouldn't be able to move at all.

Xing entered the private room, where Ye Yun, Zhong Li, Walter, Jing Yuan, and Huai Yan had already prepared tea and were drinking it.

Naxida, Ningguang, Barnabas, Shenzi, and Ying's shops are also closed; all their goods have been sold out. They've come to watch the performance.

After watching the performance, we went to the celebration banquet, and then everyone went home.

Mond and his group remained where they were, their business just beginning. Many tourists were buying alcohol there, so they could enjoy a drink while watching the show.

Mondstadt's beverages contain no industrial additives; they are all-natural, brewed from a variety of fresh fruits and wheat.

The taste and texture are excellent, and many tourists buy them by the dozen after trying them.

Amber and Yura stayed in the private room for a while before running back to help.

Ying followed along with Paimon; after all, she had accepted the title of Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius.
Paimon was in charge of calling out numbers at the entrance and guiding tourists to their seats.

Amber, Yura, and Ying acted as waiters, responsible for packing drinks and serving alcohol.

Lisa and Jean were in charge of taking orders, while Diluc was in charge of serving drinks.

With their combined efforts, they sold over a thousand cups of alcohol in no time, making a huge profit.

Stage waiting area.

The seven little ones are practicing the song they will sing later, led by a staff member.

During the middle of the Seven's performance, when Fu Ningna was changing costumes.

The song performed by the seven members was "Let the Wind Tell You," which they sang at the opening ceremony of the Elf Tournament last time.

The audience sat in their seats with great anticipation, their eyes fixed on the central stage, waiting for the concert to begin.

Soon, all the lights in the venue went out, the lights on the central stage came on, and a deep male voice began to play.

"The throne stands high in the heavens, and power is given to the seven victors."

Wherever mountains and rivers reach, that is God's land.

The victor lingers in this mortal world in the name of ruling.

People dwell under the protection of the gods, sometimes looking down, sometimes looking up.

"Walking with God, month after month, year after year."

Accompanied by the sound effects, a large screen appeared that circled the entire venue.

On the screen, a fantastical animated clip was playing.

"But beneath the earth, where the gods cannot reach, there once existed a prosperous and glorious dream."

The dubbing was complete, the lights came on, and Funina appeared in an outfit custom-made for her by Aglaia.

Dressed in a magnificent evening gown, she exuded a sense of sacredness.

"Today"
I wake from a dream.

The style of the film changes, and an underground kingdom is presented to the audience.

"To see the glorious kingdom, to illuminate the underground kingdom."

The warm light in people's eyes shone brightly against the cold gleam of the machinery.

The audience listened to the beautiful music as if they were in this underground kingdom.

In the heart of the city, a light tower illuminates the city.

As I strolled down the street, I saw all sorts of mechanical spring-loaded mechanisms lining the city's streets and alleys.

The passersby had gentle expressions and eyes full of longing for the future.

Suddenly, the music style changed abruptly, becoming shocking and oppressive.

"Doom has come!"
Suddenly, the past vanished with the wind.
(All of a sunden! With the wind the fast gone!)
The land was stained red with blood!

The lights in the entire venue turned red, and the screen on the ceiling shattered like a mirror, from which countless monsters poured out.

The audience was shocked by this scene, and a few of the more timid ones fainted on the spot.

Funina's singing soon reached its climax, with several gods descending from the sky and standing in the center of the battlefield.

Gale-force winds, meteors, thunder, giant waves, crimson flames, icy ice, and thick chains made of dark red squares.

From the lyrics, the audience learned the identities of the characters: deities.

The gods appeared and repelled the tide of abyssal beasts.

The water god and the thunder god have fallen.

The Grass God was corrupted by taboos.

The Wind God was severely injured and fell into a deep sleep.

Then, the second half.

Fushe, who sacrifices himself for righteousness, continues to fight on the battlefield to protect the people even when he loses his mind.

Countless Qianyan Army soldiers, fearless and full of fighting spirit.

With the gods absent and a demonic dragon rampaging, Dvalin, the guardian of the east wind, arrives to the rescue, leading to a fierce battle between the two dragons. And there are the samurai of Inazuma who fight to the death to protect their homeland.

After the song ended, Funina spoke slowly.

"This is the past of the civilization that has survived on the land beneath your feet."

This is the story of the past experiences of the civilization known as Teyvat.

I, Frinna, am a Teyvat.

Did you all enjoy this story?

As soon as Funina asked the question, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

With its thunderous roar, this song provided the audience with an unforgettable experience.

"It's so good! This song is absolutely perfect! Flawless!"

"It was definitely worth the trip! It was definitely worth the trip! It was so beautiful!"

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe it, when I saw that scene of the sky shattering just now, I got goosebumps all over!"

"It's numb, it's really numb, this is amazing, this song will definitely be on the hot song chart."

"The Hot Songs Chart? Who do you think you are! Anyone can do that. At least get into the top ten of the Hot Songs Chart."

"Number one, okay? Top ten? What nonsense are you spouting? Have you lost your mind from listening to music?"

"Furina is number one! Furina is forever a goddess! I love you! Furina!"

"Furina! Furina! Furina!"

At first, the audience was discussing it, but later they all agreed on the name "Funingna".

Inside the private room.

All eyes were on Zhongli and Wendy.

They might not recognize the other gods, but Wendy and Zhongli were instantly recognizable to everyone.

Xing moved closer to Zhongli.

"Zhongli, is what's written here true?"

Zhongli seemed lost in a memory, and only when she heard Xing's question did she come back to her senses and nod slightly.

"That's right, that was the Battle of Kanria 500 years ago."

Asmodeus led the six gods to descend upon Kanria to battle the abyss.

The first water god and thunder god died in battle.

That disaster swept across the entire Teyvat region.

"Our Liyue also paid a heavy price in that war."

Upon hearing that Thor had died in battle, Xing looked at Shin and Kage beside him.

"If I remember correctly, it should be true, right?"

Zhen smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's me."

Now, as Xing recalls the animation he just watched, he can truly appreciate the brutality of that war.

This concert alone doubled Fu Ningna's fan base with just the first song.

The number of fans, which had already grown to 100 million, has now exploded to 200 million.

The woman stared blankly at the radiant Funinna on the stage.

Is this a big star? He seems pretty good.

Perhaps I should really consider developing in this direction.

Barnabas noticed the woman's unusual behavior and guessed what she was thinking.

"Rosalyn, go ahead and do what you want to do."

You've worked so hard for that plan all these years.

Now, it's all over.

Not only you, but also D'Artagnan, you can all do things you like.

Of course, you'll still need to come back if there's an emergency.

The lady and the young man were delighted upon hearing this.

Although neither of them said it directly, their thoughts had already drifted far away.

The woman pretended to go to the restroom, and once inside, she took out her phone and began researching information about interstellar entertainment.

The young master went straight to Jing Yuan and asked if he could go to Luofu for a visit.

Young master, I have heard that there are many martial arts masters on Mount Luofu, and I would like to go there and have a friendly spar.

A pure exchange of martial arts skills, not a battle based on brute force.

on the stage.

Funina began her second song.

Her famous masterpiece, Light Ripples.

This song was her debut work and is also her most downloaded song.

The audience listened with rapt attention, as if they were listening to celestial music.

After the two songs ended, the seven members went on stage to begin their performance.

As soon as the seven members appeared, many sharp-eyed viewers recognized them.

"Aren't these the little cuties who sang at the opening ceremony of the Pokémon Tournament? I didn't expect them to be here too!"

"Oh! Yes, yes, it's them. I even wanted to download their song back then, but there was no audio available online."

"What a surprise! This is a surprise! Dragon Girl! Keep it up!"

"Claire! Mommy can finally see you again, Claire!"

"Qiqi! You have to do your best in singing this time! Try to keep up with the others!"

"Early pomelo! Early pomelo!"

"What early pomelo? Isn't it supposed to be dry-pickled?"

"Get lost! You fake fan!"

"Hooke! Hooke! The most powerful Hooke!"

The seven boys greeted everyone politely before starting their performance.

"When your sky suddenly starts to rain heavily."

That's me blowing up dark clouds for you~
When your hair flutters slightly and a breeze blows by.

That's me missing you from afar.

The seven little ones performed happily on stage, not nervous at all, as if they were just playing.

The audience members in the stands couldn't help but smile like doting aunts.

The seven little ones are so cute, lively, and full of childlike innocence; it's impossible not to love them.

Backstage, things are incredibly busy.

Upon seeing Funina come down, Toppa immediately switched to a frenzied work mode.

"Quick! Where's the makeup artist? Where the hell is she? Come over here right now to remove her makeup! We need to change her look soon!"

Where are the clothes? Bring me the clothes you need to change into right now! If you're any slower, do you believe I'll delay your paycheck too? Give me a few days' delay? Huh?
Where's the assistant? Where's the assistant? Don't you have any sense? Can't you see that Funina's mouth is dry? Bring me some water! Bottled water! Room temperature water!
"One by one, you all, don't you know how to do work?"

The entire backstage staff sprang into action, some removing makeup, others changing clothes, quickly preparing Funinna's makeup and costumes for the next performance.

on the stage.

The seven members have finished their performance and are now interacting with the audience under the guidance of a host.

The host, holding the questions raised by the audience, asked the seven boys.

"Children, a big sister is asking you, where are you all from?"

Klee is holding the microphone.

"I am Klee, the Spark Knight of the Knights of Mondstadt!"
Next to me is Diona, who, like me, is from Mondstadt.

After Keli finished speaking...

Yao Yao took the microphone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yao Yao, greetings from Yao Yao~"
The person next to me is Qiqi, a zombie! Like me, we're both from Liyue.

Hook then continued.

"Wow~ I am Lord Hook the Black! From Beloborg! Wahahaha!"

Early pomelo was drowsy.

"I, Zaoyou, am a ninja, and my dream is to grow tall, really, really tall! Taller than all of you!"

Finally, there is White Dew.

White Dew points with her little hand.

"Who dared to question whether I could hug Sister Funina today? Step forward!"
See that?! I can even perform on stage! Do you think I can hug you?
Alright, alright~ I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against a petty person.

My name is Bai Lu, and I come from the Luofu Immortal Ship. I'm sure many of you on the ship already recognize me.

After the seven members introduced themselves, the host asked them questions.

"Children, let's move on to the second question."

An older boy asked, "Are you classmates?"

The seven little ones answered in unison.

"Yes!"

Kelly said.

"We're classmates."

The host was very curious.

Where do you all study?

"Klee said with a smile."

"We're reading on the train! Did you know about the Starry Sky Train?"
