Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Fang Rui noticed someone going on stage and diverted everyone's attention.

The group stopped talking and looked at the stage.

"Is the performance dancing?"

Fang Rui watched Nilu dancing on the stage, thought for a moment, and then added background music and lighting for her.

The sudden change stunned the audience, and Nel was also momentarily stunned on stage, but she quickly recovered...

As she danced to the music, the lights became her accompaniment, making the dance even more glamorous.

"So beautiful!" Ying exclaimed.

“Indeed, it is comparable to the dance of the goddess of flowers,” said the Great Tree King.

Both the music and the lighting were just right.

Thinking this, the Great Compassion Tree King looked at Fang Rui, seemingly surprised that Fang Rui actually possessed this technology.

Fang Rui hummed softly, his rhythm following the music, his gaze following Nilu.

'It seems he quite likes it.'

The Great Tree King did not make a sound to disturb her, but instead, like everyone else, enjoyed Nil's dance.

From today onwards, Nilu's fame will reach new heights.

'We need to increase the guards!'

After the dance ended, the audience did not leave, but cheered and shouted for an encore.

Fang Rui held the beverage and sipped it slowly, the sweet taste spreading in his mouth.

Paimon was also drinking beverages, one after another, quite quickly.

"...I'm so excited! I hope nothing bad will happen?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly.

“No, I will appease them,” said the Great Tree King, whose powers were well suited for the task.

"Remember to tell me what you're going to do in the future, don't surprise me."

She added a sentence later.

"I'll try my best. Some things are just sudden ideas that I don't have time to discuss with you."

"Then I beg you to control your vivid imagination and stop thinking so much."

"I'll try my best..." Fang Rui couldn't make a promise, so he coughed lightly and told the three of them to continue watching the performance.

The performances of Nel's theater troupe include not only Nel's singing and dancing, but also plays.

Fang Rui watched the theatrical performance on stage with great interest.

To be honest, it was his first time seeing a stage play.

Fang Rui was quite interested in something he was encountering for the first time, so he looked at it carefully.

Paimon was equally attentive, and of course, she didn't forget to drink her beverage while watching the play.

It's hard to imagine that Paimon, with such a small size, could drink so many beverages.

To be honest, in terms of size, it has already surpassed Paimon.

Ying and Buyer were also watching a play. Buyer had no objection to entertainment works; in fact, she quite liked them.

'Hmm! Simple story structure, but interesting...' Ying thought to herself, and then her attention was drawn to two people in the crowd.

One is a woman with a wild temperament, and the other is a woman with a gentle temperament.

The two are obviously different, but they stand together and seem to have a good relationship.

The reason Ying would pay attention to the two of them was because they were talking to Nel on the side of the stage, near the backstage area.

Is it someone I know?

Ying turned her gaze away and looked at the stage instead of continuing to pay attention.

"Buyer, does Sumeru have any ideas about developing a television set? Or rather, do you have any ideas about developing a virtual stealth game?"

"The latter doesn't exist, as for the former..."

The Great Compassion Tree King pondered for a moment before replying, "Within the realm of Sumeru, I do have a way to transmit information, given the existence of the Void System. But outside of Sumeru..."

“You’re right.” Fang Rui didn’t refute anything. There was indeed a problem with the signal transmission. The transmission distance of the Heart of God was indeed limited. He didn’t know if it was a geographical limitation or if the maximum coverage area of ​​the Heart of God was just that big.

"Is there a solution?"

"Yes, signal transmission can be solved by the Heart of God. One Heart of God is responsible for a region."

"Or I could develop a new device for transmitting signals."

The Great Tree King explained the solution: "After learning about the technology of the other world, I actually wanted to bring it to Teyvat, but conventional technology would be corrupted by the elements, so it had to be technology adapted to the Teyvat environment."

"So, have you achieved anything?" Fang Rui asked.

“A little,” said the Great Tree King. “I have invented cars and trains, and I have also invented televisions, but I have not yet succeeded in building signal base stations.”

"Truly amazing! No wonder you are the god of wisdom," Fang Rui praised.

"There's no need to praise me. It's not like I started from scratch; there are references."

"Now that cars and trains have been developed, why haven't they been put into use?" Fang Rui asked.

"Roads must be built before it can be put into use."

Chapter 624 A Letter to D'Artagnan

"Whether it's Sumeru or Liyue, the land is full of potholes."

After all, during the Demon God War, there was no time to pay attention to the environment. Zhongli could change the terrain of an area with a single rock spear.

Even a single root of the Great Compassion Tree King is enough to penetrate the interior of a mountain.

Whether it's a road for cars or a road for trains, it needs to be solid and sturdy. Moreover, the rainforest of Sumeru is quite dense, and these trees would be somewhat in the way if a railway were to be built.

"You haven't spoken with Zhongli?"

The Rock God must be very professional when it comes to road construction!

“We did discuss it,” the Great Tree King said, recounting the results of the discussion. “Zhongli’s suggestion was either to build bridges connecting all the places, following Fontaine’s method, or to drill tunnels through mountains and build bridges across rivers…”

"So which method do you plan to use?" Fang Rui asked Buyer about his choice. "My suggestion is the latter. Why? Because it requires less manpower and resources."

“We share the same idea,” the Great Tree King agreed.

"So..." Fang Rui asked the crucial question, "Why hasn't construction started yet?"

"Funding is one aspect, workers are another."

"You think there are too few workers?" Fang Rui asked.

“No, it’s too much,” the Great Tree King replied. “The project cannot begin without proper preparation.”

"Logistics?" Fang Rui didn't say anything. With Sumeru and Liyue working together, they wouldn't be hindered by logistics. Then he thought of the Abyss of Lapis Lazuli...

Fang Rui vaguely guessed something, so he didn't ask any further questions and instead brought up another matter.

"Speaking of trains, what do you use as engines?"

"Naturally, it's the elements. Fontaine's ships all use elemental engines, and Sumeru has similar technology, as does Liyue."

The two continued talking about the matter for a while until the play ended and they parted ways, at which point the conversation ceased.

Fang Rui and Ying visited some famous scenic spots in Xumi, while Buer returned to the Church Council to handle some affairs. She had originally planned to travel with the three of them, but Fang Rui persuaded her otherwise...

To be precise, it was Fang Rui's assurance that he "wouldn't cause trouble" that put Buyer at ease.

In her view, given Fang Rui's strength and status, he would definitely keep his promise.

"It looks kind of nice, but what I'm more concerned about is why there are beast-hunting hounds here?"

Fang Rui frowned slightly as he looked at the beast-hunting hounds lingering by the riverbank.

Beast Hounds can be seen as monsters belonging to the Abyss, possessing the ability to tear space. While saying they can tear space is a bit of an exaggeration, Beast Hounds do indeed have spatial abilities.

High-level monsters in the Abyss can control Beast Hounds. Without the control of high-level monsters, Beast Hounds are relatively safe and will not leave the Abyss.

The appearance of the Beast Hounds here is not accidental; they must have been summoned by an Abyss Apostle or an Abyss Mage...

There is more than one faction in the abyss.

The most active force recently is the Abyss Order, composed of the remnants of the Kanria forces. There is no detailed and accurate information about other forces.

"Ying, is there any way to contact your brother?" Fang Rui asked.

As for matters concerning the Abyss, it's natural to ask the forces within the Abyss. It's appropriate and convenient to have the Abyss Order handle the investigation.

“…No!” Ying’s tone was somewhat low, and Fang Rui could sense a hint of wanting to punch her in it.

May God protect Kong!

It seems that Sora has offended Ying somewhere; he'll definitely get a beating next time they meet.

"Do you need him for something?" Ying quickly composed herself, suppressing her anger in a few seconds and asking gently.

"Something's up." Fang Rui didn't explain in detail, but instead asked about something else, "So, do you have a way to contact the Abyss Order?"

“…No!” Ying did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while before giving her reply.

“Is that so…” Fang Rui nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over other areas. “Let’s deal with the Beast Hounds first, then we can search the area and see if we can find any Abyss Mages belonging to the Abyss Order.”

"I have some questions to ask Kong, and I need to send a message to the Abyss Mage."

"No problem, leave the finding to me!" Ying raised her hand, clapping her fist against her palm, looking eager to try.

"Be careful, the Abyss Order is not the enemy right now, don't kill them."

Fang Rui advised that instead of killing them, it would be better to wait until the curse was lifted and then slowly atone for their sins.

"Yes, I know." Ying nodded slightly in understanding, drew her sword, and charged towards the Beast Realm Hound.

Fang Rui had no intention of helping; he simply watched from the hilltop as Ying hacked at the Beast Realm Hounds.

Unlike in the game, the real-life Ying is even more powerful. With her current strength in all four elements, she can kill a Beast Realm Hound with a single sword strike.

In less than a minute, all the Beast Hounds had been slain. Beside Fang Rui, Paimon, hovering in the air, murmured, "The Traveler has become stronger~"
