Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Kaeya and the others didn't have any other thoughts. Venti was somewhat famous in Mondstadt. They weren't exactly acquaintances, but they knew of his existence.

Upon hearing Ying's voice, everyone's gaze shifted, briefly observing Wendy before looking away, except for Fang Rui and the Sustainer, who did not look away.

'Strange! The Wind God who's been slacking off is delivering goods to my door?' Fang Rui thought to himself, pondering the reason.

"What are you doing here?" The wind whispered in the ear of the sustainer, conveying the message to her.

Of everyone present, only Fang Rui, Weixi, and Wendy knew the contents.

"Tourism." The maintainer's answer was also one that only the three people could hear.

'An unexpected answer.' In Wendy's view, the maintainer had no reason to lie to herself, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.

"While I'm at it, I'll check on your work."

However, before Wendy could fully relax, the next sentence made him tense up again, as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him numb all over.

'Oops! '

It's a dangerous situation when an employee who's slacking off gets caught by their boss!

But Wendy wasn't worried about himself. The Suppressor probably didn't care how the Seven Rulers managed the country; what he cared about now was another colleague.

If the maintainer is there to inspect the work, then the Ice God, who is causing trouble and trying to overthrow the boss's rule and seize power for himself, is in a very dangerous situation.

"Wendy, want to grab something to eat?"

While Wendy was feeling a little flustered, Fang Rui invited her to join him. He had been standing by the table the whole time, which seemed rather odd no matter how you looked at it.

"Thank you," Wendy replied immediately, sitting down next to him.

As he sat down, he observed the Maintainer's attitude and saw that she showed no interest in him. At the same time, Fang Rui gave him a somewhat unusual feeling. His aura was ordinary, like that of a mortal, but Feng could not detect any more detailed information. There was even an aura from outside Teyvat.

'This is no ordinary person!'

Looking at the Sustainer again, I thought it might be related to the Sustainer's sudden arrival.

Wendy didn't delve into the specific reasons, but she had a feeling it would cause a lot of trouble, so she changed the subject and asked about other topics.

So what was my performance rating?

Wendy continued to use "Wind Message" to chat privately. As long as the Seven Rulers were on their own territory and did not touch any "taboos," they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.

"If I were to rate it, I would give it 60 points, just passing." Fang Rui suddenly joined the conversation, speaking before the maintainer could give his evaluation.

Upon hearing this, Wendy raised an eyebrow slightly; the score was truly unexpectedly high.

Compared to other politicians, Wendy knew her attitude was "somewhat" lax, especially compared to the old man next door, who could be described as "hardworking."

If the full score is 100, his passing score of 60 is indeed quite high.

After all, he has made very few appearances in Mondstadt...

"60 points?" The maintainer was somewhat surprised.

In one day, she received some information from "Angel's Gift," such as the fact that the Anemo Archon has not appeared for a long time, the annual Summoning Ceremony in Liyue, the fact that Inazuma closed the country a year ago, the fact that the new god of Sumeru has almost no presence, the god of Fontaine longs for judgment, the god of Nata still loves war, and the god of Winter seems to be preparing for something.

If you ask him how he knows so much information, you can only say that bards are really well-informed, with gossip from all over the world, some of which is true and some of which is false.

The maintainer has her own way of judging, can verify the authenticity of the message, and can also help her analyze the authenticity of the message by listening to other people's words.

"If it were me, I would also give it 30 points."

"That's too low!" Wendy complained.

“You’ve worked for far too short a time,” the Sustainer said, getting straight to the point. “While I haven’t asked you how to govern the kingdom, the number of times you’ve worked is less than a handful…”

The maintainer didn't continue speaking, only giving Barbatos a silent look.

Wendy: "…………" No rebuttal.

"So what are you going to say? Ask me to work harder?"

"No, how you manage Mondstadt is your business and has nothing to do with me. My requirement is to maintain stability and not to break any taboos. The rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Wendy wasn't surprised. It was in line with the rules set by the Sustainers, but it seemed a bit too lenient. Was it just her imagination?

He has forgotten some of the rules established by the original maintainers, making them incomparable.

"We're traveling, do you want to come along?"

Fang Rui continued to inquire, saying that bringing the Wind God along was a very interesting thing, since the Wind God's power allowed him to obtain and transmit information using the wind, making things very convenient.

"Uh……"

Traveling with the sustainers was completely unexpected, but it seemed quite interesting.

The main reason is that the current maintainers are not as cold-hearted as before, otherwise he would have refused immediately.

"I have some things to take care of in Mondstadt and cannot leave for the time being."

Wendy refused, and Tvalin was in grave danger; the Tvalin problem had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Tvalin: So... that's why you're slacking off?

“We can help.”

Speaking of which, as a dragon, Dvalin's scales and feathers are very valuable alchemical materials. You can establish a cooperative relationship with him and exchange scales and feathers for other things.

Wendy glanced at the maintainers, who surprisingly didn't object, which meant...

“Okay!” Wendy, who had guessed what was going on, immediately agreed.

The subsequent conversation did not use "Wind Signal" but instead she spoke directly, talking about ordinary things, about other countries, without mixing in any secrets, but covering a wide range of topics, which made Ying and the others look at Wendy with new respect.

To know so much information, you must be someone special!

The Sustainers also gained a better understanding of the affairs of other realms, such as the situation in Liyue, Sumeru, and Inazuma...

To be fair, with Wendy's abilities, one would never be bored, and there would be no shortage of stories to write poems.

'Compared to Liyue, the other two kingdoms have problems!'

The maintainer frowned. Inazuma's location was rather special. It was very close to the Abyss Palace and not far from the Dark Sea. Currently, it was in a state of isolation, so it was impossible to transmit intelligence immediately if something happened.

The god of Sumeru is the caretaker of the World Tree, and his absence for hundreds of years is also problematic.

'The World Tree is very important; it seems we should head to Sumeru as soon as possible.'

Thinking this, the maintainer asked, "How about our next stop, Sumeru?"

“My travel plans are Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru,” Fang Rui replied.

The map was opened in this order originally, and he still wants to choose Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru as his current route.

"My suggestion is Liyue, Sumeru, and Inazuma. Liyue and Sumeru are adjacent, which is more convenient. As Venti said before, Inazuma is a closed country, so it is not very convenient to enter."

Those who maintained the relationship gave their reasons, which were both reasonable and well-founded.

Grimmjow would rather go to Liyue and Inazuma. One is the recognized war god of Teyvat, and the other is the god who shrouds Inazuma with lightning. Both are extremely powerful and would like to be challenged!

Ulquiorra wasn't interested; perhaps he'd have something in common with Abelardo.

Halibel chose to obey orders and follow his boss's lead.

As for the others, Teyvat is dangerous, so it's better not to leave Mondstadt.

Meanwhile, Jean and the others who were listening in didn't interrupt or say anything. After the meal, the group parted ways, and Ying chose to catch up with Wendy because she had something to ask her.

Fang Rui found Qin and asked her to help invite Abedo. Diluc, considering how useful the sword was, helped out.

Sending a message to Abedo was impossible by conventional means, given the cold, snowy mountains. Therefore, Jyn decided to find Timaus and Sugar instead.

The two frequently traveled between Mondstadt and the Dragonridge Mountains, a practice that remained unchanged even during the devastation of Dvalin.

With their objective achieved, the group parted ways, and Diluc kindly offered them temporary accommodation.

"We need to figure out how to report to Diluc."

After all, Diluc helped him several times in a row, so of course he had to give him some reward.

“For example, regarding constellations, I can help him see his own constellation clearly,” the Sustainer said.

"You're not kidding?" Fang Rui asked back.

"Of course I was joking. The help he provided is not enough for me to help him unlock the Throne of Fate," the Sustainer replied decisively.

"Hehe~" Fang Rui's lips twitched slightly. If you had no intention of doing this, why did you bring it up?

The two did not continue their conversation and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day, early morning.

News of the theft of the Sky Harp spread throughout Mondstadt, and the Knights of Favonius began searching for it.

One of the prisoners was recounting the whole story to Fang Rui.

"As expected of Barbatos, he really knows how to have fun!" Fang Rui praised.

The Sustainer: "………… What are you doing, Barbatos?!"

Those who maintain the relationship say they completely cannot understand it!

Why do something that could be accomplished with a flashy entrance?

Is your head completely filled with alcohol?!

Seeing the complex look in the Sustainer's eyes, Barbatos's lips twitched. He was absolutely certain that the Sustainer was thinking something extremely rude.

He couldn't refute it, since he really had no reason to refute it.

It would be very easy for him to obtain the Sky Harp; the wind would bring it to him, and he could easily obtain it by descending as the Wind God...

But he didn't have that thought, therefore...

"So... what are you really thinking?"

“I haven’t really thought about it much,” Wendy said.

Fang Rui didn't press further, but instead asked another question: "Given the current situation, how do you plan to resolve it?"

"No problem, Luminous and Diluc have already gone to retrieve Jean."

"So what about you? You don't do anything at all?"

Fang Rui's expression grew increasingly speechless; this slacker was beyond saving!

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it. The wind will bring me a message and also give them help."
