Spent One Hundred Million Mora Settling Down

The news from Inazuma had actually started spreading several days ago, but at the time, it was still being rushed by horseback toward Fontaine.

In another day or two, even Snezhnaya, the country farthest from Inazuma, would probably know about it!

"Oh my God! That's terrifying!" Thinking of that milk-scented slash, Wu Wanghai's body trembled uncontrollably.

I can't handle it! Don't make me handle it, and don't come looking for me! I'm only alive thanks to the power of my Vision myself.

But if Lumine had my back, I wouldn't be scared at all. Even Aether wouldn't be able to do anything about this.

"Looking at you, are you really that afraid of Inazuma's god?" Furina covered her mouth and laughed, looking every bit like a brat.

Wu Wanghai rolled his eyes at Furina. "That's the Raiden Shogun! Do you know Musou no Hitotachi?"

"???" Furina was puzzled. As for matters outside Fontaine, aside from the information her informants brought her regarding Fontaine's prophecy, Furina did not pay much attention to anything else. Managing her own country had already exhausted her.

Seeing Furina stare at him innocently with her two differently colored eyes, Wu Wanghai knew she had never witnessed Raiden Ei's terror. "In short, she's way, way stronger than you!"

"Hmph! Not necessarily!" Furina turned her head away in a huff.

After spending another afternoon wandering around with Furina, he finally found a villa less than a kilometer from the Court of Fontaine, one that had once belonged to an old noble.

Wild grass and flowers grew across several hundred square meters outside the villa. Judging from their growth, no one had passed through here for a very long time.

Wu Wanghai examined the terrain. No wonder. It was not near the main road, and it stood more than ten meters higher than the surrounding land. To reach the main road, one had to go down a small sloping path.

The lofty Palais Mermonia stood not far away, clearly visible at a glance.

Wu Wanghai looked at the lighting. No wonder the place felt somewhat desolate. The sun shone onto the towering Palais Mermonia, casting its shadow over this open space.

But Wu Wanghai was not worried. The spiritual field did not require sunlight. If he had not found this rather satisfactory residence, he would have considered buying a large empty plot underground.

He made the decision on the spot and completed the paperwork before nightfall. It should have taken several days, but with Furina at his side, everything was simplified.

Because of Furina, the large villa that should have sold for five hundred million Mora was even sold to Wu Wanghai outright for one hundred million Mora.

From then on, Wu Wanghai could truly be considered settled in Fontaine.

In the days after buying the house, Wu Wanghai had been constantly on the move, tidying up his new home and purchasing furniture.

And during those days, many familiar faces unexpectedly came to his new home.

Somehow, everyone he knew had heard that he had bought a huge villa, and they all found time to visit...

Until one afternoon, a pink-haired girl walked in. "Ah, I've been busy to death these past few days!"

Seeing Wu Wanghai drinking black tea on the sofa, the girl unceremoniously sat across from him and placed Monsieur Verite on the tea table. "Sorry to intrude~ It's only been a few days, but I missed you so much, Mr. Superstar!"

"...Right, Charlotte is here too. Make yourself at home~" Wu Wanghai replied.

"I never expected Mr. Wu Wanghai to buy this villa in Fontaine and settle down here... I heard that, because of Lady Furina, you got quite a discount." Charlotte habitually pulled out her little notebook.

"I don't really know about that~" Wu Wanghai spread his hands.

Charlotte looked around the huge villa. "Even for a villa not far outside the Court of Fontaine, it's worth several hundred million Mora. Yet there are very few people in Teyvat who can pay one hundred million Mora in full all at once."

Charlotte picked up Monsieur Verite. "If possible, could I conduct an intervi—"

"No. There's no need." Wu Wanghai refused with a serious expression.

"You still owe me an exclusive interview." Charlotte's voice drifted over lightly.

That single sentence left Wu Wanghai speechless.

So next, Wu Wanghai had to face Charlotte's endless stream of questions.

...Wu Wanghai suffered!...

"It was a pleasure interviewing you. See you next time, Mr. Wu Wanghai~" As the sun set behind the western mountains, Charlotte waved goodbye.

Wu Wanghai wiped away a cold sweat. Though he had brushed off most of her questions, he had at least experienced what it felt like to be interviewed by a real reporter. She really dared to ask anything!

Opinions, explanations, reactions, the future, how many children he planned to have, whether they would be boys or girls...

What could I possibly think? I looked with my eyes...

Charlotte, that torturous little demon, had drained Wu Wanghai of all energy. He collapsed into bed and fell asleep.

When he got up early the next morning, Wu Wanghai suddenly remembered why he had bought this house. It was yesterday's endlessly inquisitive Charlotte who had reminded him.

He had pulled a spiritual field and seeds in a ten-pull, so he needed to buy a large house in order to plant an acre of spiritual field. Otherwise, he would not have wanted one.

And he had spent one hundred million Mora of his own on a largely useless villa located outside the Court of Fontaine.

Still, he had not expected the process of installing the acre of spiritual field to include the game's distinctive red and green projections. It could only be placed when everything was green.

Fortunately, the open space Wu Wanghai had bought was large enough.

During the process, Wu Wanghai even tried jumping up to see whether he could suspend the spiritual field in midair.

In the end, he had been overthinking it. Since the open space was large enough anyway, Wu Wanghai simply placed it down.

Once he confirmed it, the wild flowers and grass across the acre vanished instantly, becoming a spiritual field that was already cultivated.

Wu Wanghai opened his phone's inventory and looked at the perfect strawberry seeds inside. He did not know anything about farming, and there was not even an instruction manual. He was thinking he could just dig a hole, bury them under some soil, and call it a day.

Just as he was thinking that, Wu Wanghai spotted a use button. Could it be???

Wu Wanghai selected the spiritual field directly. A faint ring of light appeared across an area roughly ten meters wide.

A strawberry icon appeared above the ring around the spiritual field. Growing: 71:59:59...

"Whew~" Wu Wanghai sighed in relief. That was more like it...

If it had been too troublesome, Wu Wanghai was certain that after doing it once, he would never touch farming again.

Fortunately, it was quite simple. Maybe he could visit the Fontaine market later and see whether anyone sold seeds.

Could seeds sold in Teyvat be planted directly with one click? If not, then whatever he planted would have to depend entirely on pulls.

Wu Wanghai smiled in satisfaction and nodded. The next instant, he vanished, reappearing at the Palais Mermonia.

After entering the palace, he found the clerks still busy at work. Wu Wanghai saw the Melusine behind the reception desk outside Neuvillette's office.

He vaguely remembered Furina introducing her as something like, "Sed..."

"My name is Sedene. Lord Neuvillette has gone out on official business. As for Lady Furina, perhaps you could try looking for her at the Opera Epiclese. I heard she has been watching operas again these past few days." Before Wu Wanghai could ask, Sedene answered directly, as though she could read his mind.
