"Um..." Furina watched Wu Wanghai summon a tiny Furina that continuously sprayed a stream of water from its mouth, then answered uncertainly, "It should work, I guess. But I think we'd better ask Neuvillette about this. He understands water very well."
Wu Wanghai took a cup himself and caught a cupful, studying it without daring to drink it.
When the summon's duration ended, Wu Wanghai did not summon it again. "All right, let's go find Neuvillette!"
Furina followed Wu Wanghai as they hurried along, and before long, they arrived at Neuvillette's office.
They were quite lucky. Neuvillette was currently working in his office.
After another brief wait, Neuvillette finally looked at the cup that had just been placed on his desk. "Water for me?"
"Stare~~~" After saying that, Neuvillette silently stared at the cup.
Stare, stare, stare. Wu Wanghai and Furina stared at Neuvillette as well.
Neuvillette finally moved, his hand slowly reaching toward the cup.
Wu Wanghai was hoping that water created from the Hydro element could be drunk. If so, there would be no need to worry about water sources at all, and it would be incredibly convenient.
Furina, meanwhile, looked slightly doubtful and secretly amused. She had watched the whole process of how this water had been made. If Neuvillette drank it, wouldn't that mean he was drinking my saliva?
The next moment, Furina saw Neuvillette raising the cup to his lips.
Furina could not resist giving Wu Wanghai a harmless little punch.
Of all people, why did you have to make your summon look like me?!
"Hmm..." After a moment of silence, Neuvillette gave his answer. "Is this a cup of water generated by the Hydro element?"
Furina could not help looking astonished. "Wow! Neuvillette, you're still as amazing as ever! You can tell what kind of water it is just by tasting it!"
Neuvillette slowly asked, "So why exactly did you give me a cup of water to drink?"
"I have a question I'd like to ask you, Neuvillette." Wu Wanghai scratched his cheek, looking a little embarrassed.
Neuvillette said, "Go ahead. I will tell you everything I know."
"Can I use water generated by the Hydro element to make fruit tea for everyone in Teyvat to drink? Would there be any problems if they drank too much?" Wu Wanghai asked. "After all, I know that constantly drinking pure water causes problems for the human body. The spring water and such that we drink contains minerals."
"Oh? So you want to make fruit tea? I want some too. You absolutely have to let me try it." Furina narrowed her eyes.
Neuvillette answered, "I understand what you mean. Water generated by the Hydro element also comes from this world. While drinking such water over a long period would indeed be harmful to the human body, it will be fine as long as the missing nutrients can be replenished."
"Great! Then there's no problem. After all, who would drink this kind of fruit tea as water every day?" Wu Wanghai felt relieved. Besides, he was not a machine, and his production capacity was extremely limited. Letting them have some once in a while would definitely be fine.
Wu Wanghai then cupped his hands in farewell and left the office, with Furina following close behind.
"I want some, I want fruit tea! Is it ready yet?" Furina kept saying this all the way, urging Wu Wanghai to make it for her immediately.
"The fruit isn't ready yet!" Wu Wanghai shook his head.
"What? It's not ready yet?! Aren't they selling Bulle Fruit and Zaytun Peaches right over there? Why not use those?" Furina pointed toward a fruit and vegetable stall in the distance.
"Now that you mention it..." Wu Wanghai only now remembered that he had never tasted the specialty fruits from Genshin Impact.
This was the perfect chance...
The stall owner called out, "Would you like to take a look at some fresh fruits and vegetables?"
"Boss, I'll take two of each kind of fruit." Wu Wanghai began picking them out and piling them together.
While smiling, the owner helped Wu Wanghai pick out the fruits he could not reach. "Certainly. Please feel free to choose whatever you like. I, Eugenie, would never do dishonest business. I guarantee every piece of fruit I sell is plump and fresh."
"Come again sometime! I'll have the sweetest fruit ready and waiting for you." Eugenie waved goodbye at the end.
After buying some fruit to taste, Wu Wanghai decided to take Furina back to his home first.
He would let Furina see two kinds of fruit that Teyvat did not have, though they were not ripe yet.
Come to think of it, everyone really did like the big star Furina.
On the way, Wu Wanghai could not help sighing, "With Fufu accompanying me to buy things, the fruit stall owner even secretly stuffed a whole bunch of extra kinds of fruit into my bag."
"Hmph, of course. I'm a beloved big star, after all!" Furina said proudly.
Wu Wanghai used his skill to have tiny Furina spray the Zaytun Peach in his hand with water a few times. After washing it clean, he looked at the still-smug Furina and asked, "Want some?"
"All right, then I shall accept your kind offer." Furina took the Zaytun Peach and opened her mouth to eat it.
As expected of a fruit from Sumeru, it was truly delicious and sweet.
"Still, I didn't expect Valberries to be so expensive." Wu Wanghai took out a Mondstadt specialty, a Valberry.
"Of course they are. Just think about how far Mondstadt is from here!" As Furina spoke, she took the freshly washed Valberry from Wu Wanghai's hand. Time to feast.
I haven't even tasted one yet... Wu Wanghai was speechless as he took out another Valberry.
Unexpectedly, Furina suddenly picked up the summon that looked like tiny Furina and aimed it at the Valberry in Wu Wanghai's hand, intending to help him wash it.
"Pfft~" Tiny Furina spat out a tiny stream of water. It had completely become a mobile faucet.
"Haha, your summon is so much fun." Furina was delighted.
Wu Wanghai said nothing as he watched Furina pick up his summon and play with it again. He opened his mouth and popped the Valberry in. "Mm, sweet and sour. It really is delicious."
After finishing one, Wu Wanghai saw Furina was still playing and suddenly thought of something even more amusing. "Want a tiny Neuvillette?"
Furina froze, then watched as a smile slowly spread across Wu Wanghai's face. Her eyes seemed ready to sparkle with stars. "Of course!"
In the next instant, tiny Furina transformed into tiny Neuvillette.
As a result, Furina was even happier than when she had been holding a tiny version of herself.
Especially when she saw that the stream tiny Neuvillette sprayed did not even extend half a palm before falling under gravity, making him look as though he had wilted.
The appearance of his summon made Furina laugh even harder, since she had once seen Neuvillette spray an enormous, incredibly long stream of water.
Not long after, a short distance outside the Court of Fontaine, Wu Wanghai brought Furina to his home.
"That's it. See for yourself." Wu Wanghai pointed at the open ground nearby. There was a patch of just five lemon trees covering only ten meters, as well as low green branches and leaves carpeting another ten-meter area.
Hmm, he had not paid much attention before, but now that he looked at it, each pull gave him one seed, and each seed could only be planted over an area of ten meters.
But that was fine. There might be little at the beginning, but plants could produce seeds, and the seeds could grow into more plants.
Children and grandchildren without end. That was truly sustainable development.
