"Ah!!!"
"Yah!!!"
In the forest outside Fontaine, the startled cries of a young man and a Damselette rang out.
Behind them, a gigantic, enraged, hopping Large Hydro Slime was chasing them.
"Hey, hey! Aren't you a god? Why are you running faster than me! Hurry up and use your Normal Attack to think of something!" Seeing Furina running so fast ahead, Alex instantly got angry. This guy just watched from afar and now that he was being chased by a monster, she wasn't helping.
"Huh? My, my, my powers are all in the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, all transformed into 'Indemnitium' to maintain the operation of Fontaine!" Furina turned her head to respond, then said angrily, "Who told you to provoke the most troublesome creatures for us without reason! Besides, I am your master, you should protect me properly."
Furina nodded, then turned to blame Alex for his incompetence.
"Oh, I just wanted to try my Normal Attack, but who would've thought, where's the promised large physical DMG? Attracting aggro, that part is definitely stable." Alex pulled out his phone and looked speechlessly at his skill interface, Normal Attack, Unrivaled Punch.
Alright, alright, this must be what he learned from the skill video when MiHoYo first released the Geo Archon, Zhongli.
"Then you definitely have yourself to blame. You are too weak! If Clorinde were here, I wouldn't have to worry at all. Even ten thousand Electro Slimes would be easily dealt with in one move." Furina shook her head, her left hand crossed over her chest and her right index finger casually pointed to the side.
Clorinde, who was patrolling the city, thought, 'If ten thousand Electro Slimes came, I'd be scared too!'
"Phew, but luckily, this Hydro Slime stopped chasing us after we ran a few hundred meters." While bickering with Furina, Alex noticed the Hydro Slime was gone. It must have disengaged from aggro range, or perhaps exceeded its domain.
"I understand, I understand completely! You, the Hydro Archon in allogene, are indeed a replica of Aqua!" Alex shook his head. If that was the setting, he could accept it.
"What do you mean? What Aqua?" Furina looked puzzled and curious.
"It's just... flowers, birds, wind, and moon~~~" Alex didn't want to elaborate, he just spread his hands and performed a fountain with both hands.
At his current level, he could only control this much water, but it was enough for a performance.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Furina clapped, still not understanding: "Hmm?"
"That means, come chase me, you trashy Hydro Archon, Furina!" Alex extended his right hand in front of Furina, gave a thumbs down, a classic taunt. After this action, Alex quickly ran off.
Furina was stunned. He really dared! This was the first time in so many years she had encountered such disrespect and provocation towards a god!
"Stop!!! You, you're the trash!" Seeing Alex fifty meters away, Furina quickly gave chase.
0 / 60
Oh no! Aether, although it's effortless to sprint when there's a stamina bar, once the stamina bar is depleted, he really starts panting. He can only walk slowly.
So Furina, whose stamina was unknown, quickly caught Alex.
"Hahaha, you're no good either, not as good as me! You trash~" Furina was overjoyed.
Someone who is clearly weak themselves calls others trash, I won't say who.
Ah, Alex's heart was pierced, and he suddenly felt very excited: "Please scold me a bit more, Fufu!"
"Eek, no, no!" Furina put away her smile and shivered. How could there be someone who asked to be scolded?
"Rustle, rustle~" Suddenly, a strange sound came from the distant bushes.
Furina quietly took two quick steps and ran behind Alex.
"Oh, how annoying, why is there a frog hidden here too." The Damselette, who had exposed herself trying to scare away the frog, shook her body and climbed out of the bush.
The Damselette adjusted the red hat on her head and put away her camera: "Haha, hello everyone, I'm just a passing Damselette catching frogs~ You two continue, I really don't know anything."
"It's Charlotte! The most troublesome Steambird reporter! Darn it, we've been found after all." Furina whispered behind Alex.
Then, she took two steps forward and stood in front of Alex, saying to Charlotte: "Even if you're a reporter, it's very impolite to follow people around! We don't have anything worth noting. I advise you, if I see any bad news, you know what will happen."
Charlotte rubbed her head sheepishly: "Hehehe, please rest assured, Lady Furina, you know me, I'm not one of those bad reporters who distort facts just for clicks. I pursue truth above all else, and even if I see something, I'll seek the consent of the parties involved before publishing it in the newspaper."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now, I won't disturb you two." Charlotte turned around, intending to make a quick escape.
But unexpectedly, Alex, who was behind Furina, suddenly spoke up: "Wait, you can't leave!"
"What are you doing?" Furina pulled down Alex's clothes with her hand and whispered in his ear.
"Alright, alright, I won't leave." Charlotte narrowed her eyes, visibly happy.
Furina was speechless. This reporter really was the type to take advantage of any opening.
"You saw it too, right now we are patrolling the areas around Fontaine, clearing dangerous monsters. Lady Hydro Archon is also taking me to familiarize myself with the environment. But just now, I don't know if you saw it, we were being chased by a Hydro Slime."
"Ah haha." Charlotte felt embarrassed for both Furina and Alex. She had indeed seen it just now and had even taken several photos.
"That was a giant Hydro Slime! And a single small monster isn't worth a god's intervention. But I didn't expect him to provoke it, and most importantly, he couldn't even defeat it, so in the end, I could only run with him!" Furina crossed her arms, then glanced at Alex, and turned her head away.
Alex followed along, while also being speechless that this realistic Teyvat actually dared to have immune monsters.
"Oh, I also have a Hydro Vision, but my Normal Attack is completely useless, I really can't do anything about Hydro Slimes! I wish I could master multiple elements."
"That's true, I can't do anything about Cryo Slimes either." Charlotte nodded in deep understanding.
Furina breathed a sigh of relief. At least her persona wasn't completely ruined in the end.
"Anyway, you came at a good time, help us fight monsters together." Alex sincerely invited the utility teammate to help farm experience.
"But, I'm not very good at combat either..." Charlotte said shyly and reservedly, lowering her head slightly. She wasn't good at combat, would she also make a fool of herself in front of Lady Hydro Archon later?
"It's okay, one hit from me, one hit from you, we'll work together for Frozen!" With a true combatant on board, Alex was full of confidence, eager to start farming monsters for experience immediately.
