"It's delicious!" "Super delicious!" Clorinde and Furina each gave their evaluations.
"Oh wow! Then in a couple of days, let's make strawberry juice to sell!" Alex smiled faintly, still wanting to sell another type of drink.
"No, no! These strawberries are too good! And selling them just for Primogem like you do is not good!" Furina shook her head, then added, "But once your strawberry production increases later, you can certainly make more like that!"
Furina continued, "Besides, now scarcity makes them valuable. These strawberries are enough to be considered a luxury fruit! They can bring you unimaginable profits and benefits! Don't worry, leave all this to me to handle~"
He still had a pile of pre-orders and had to deal with the nobles and merchants who saw the potential of the strawberries.
But don't worry, Furina herself will step in to help Alex solve everything, otherwise, he'd just be thinking about exchanging strawberries for Primogem and would be completely exploited by those nobles and merchants! They would be the ones getting the bargain!
In any case, Furina would never allow Alex to suffer a huge loss because of strawberries, while others made huge profits from them. It's best to keep a firm grip on them.
Alex, on the other hand, thought all these fruits were the same, so it didn't matter. But since Furina said so, he nodded, "Alright."
Furina suddenly thought of something and anxiously considered from Alex's perspective, "Oh right, your strawberries might be taken by people with ulterior motives to research and cultivate in the future. Won't that greatly affect us then?"
"That definitely won't have any impact, after all, this is my Spirit Field! Whatever I plant ripens in three days! This is my greatest advantage."
"If they try to plant them in Teyvat, these yellow dots are the strawberry seeds. And it takes more than half a year to truly ripen," Alex said, demonstrating with a strawberry.
"You see, it's these. The planting requirements are also quite difficult. Even if they manage to research them, the strawberries they produce will only be like our normal, small strawberries."
"Unlike what I grow in my Spirit Field, which comes with perfect stats, each one is almost half a fist. Additionally, there are mutated ones, which are two fists large." As he spoke, Alex pulled out the largest strawberry he had secretly hidden.
"Wow!" Furina exclaimed, and then Alex lost that largest, best strawberry.
Furina broke it in half with both hands, handed the other half to Clorinde, and started eating her half.
Today was truly a day filled with strawberries, Furina thought. She still had half a basket of strawberries at home. She'd go back and eat some more as a late-night snack, and finish them tomorrow.
After an "uh" sound internally, Alex also pulled out a strawberry and started eating it: "Hmm, the strawberries produced by the Spirit Field are the best and sweetest I've ever eaten."
Clorinde also ate and ate.
Seeing them silently eating strawberries, Alex's gaze fell on the little Furina on the table.
First, he needed to confirm something. For the Hydro element mimicry, what was the range of the "designated" part of this skill?
Could it only mimic people encountered here, or could it mimic anyone he knew?
Alex was quite certain about one thing: he didn't need the character to be by his side to designate a mimicry character.
After all, earlier, Neuvillette wasn't by his side.
Alex successfully designated a character while Furina was nearby, and the Combat Skill summon turned into a small Neuvillette.
Alex tried other characters.
Lynette, Lyney, Navia, Charlotte, Chevreuse.
Finally, Alex designated Katheryne, and to his surprise, it worked!
"Oh wow!" Furina had been watching too. Alex kept changing, and every character transformed into these tiny versions was truly adorable.
Clorinde also nodded continuously; she had some understanding of these characters.
So, in Fontaine, those he hadn't seen were... Alex's mind began to try and recall the game.
"Freminet!" Alex said his name first, as he was a character related to Lyney and Lynette, active in the main story, and a diver.
The little Katheryne trembled, and the next moment, a Q-version of a young man with half his face obscured truly appeared.
This was truly him, just as he remembered! Alex's heart suddenly became fervent!
Could it be that!... His remaining knowledge. Wriothesley, Sigewinne, all succeeded!
Alright, now all the characters from Fontaine that he knew had appeared.
Clorinde couldn't help but glance at Alex a few more times. He hadn't entered the Meropide Fortress since arriving here.
It seemed he truly possessed some miraculous qualities, Clorinde thought to herself.
Klee, Hu Tao, Ganyu, Keqing, Raiden Shogun, Nahida.
"Hahaha!" Alex laughed happily. This is great, truly great, this skill is really invincible! Can it mimic anyone he knows?
This skill is actually a four-star, you've truly been underestimated!
Oh? What about other games?
Seele, Bronya, Mei, Kiana, Aili Xiya.
"Oh wow!" Alex was super surprised, this was truly too joyful!
Whatever Alex thought of, it actually turned into a tiny, two-headed Q-version Hydro puppet!
Alex changed so many cute little figures, but after Sigewinne, Furina didn't recognize any of the subsequent ones.
Clorinde only recognized one, and that was our Raiden Shogun. She knew the appearance of the Electro Archon.
March 7th, Kafka, the Cloud Retainer's Five Disciples, one by one.
Goodness, Alex always felt he could find a lot of interesting fun using this ability of his.
Joyful Envoy: Sparkle, has started paying attention to you. (A message from Akasha, (laughs, no.
What about non-Mihoyo games? Alex tried Azur Lane. But unexpectedly, the summon kept getting stuck in a water blob and wouldn't change.
He tried anime and other games. The water blob showed no change whatsoever.
"Alright." Alex pursed his lips helplessly. The longer he stayed in Teyvat, the more he would slowly forget other characters. His body was completely becoming Mihoyo-shaped!
The only connection left was his phone. Alex hoped that in the future, he could unlock the function to watch videos and anime, otherwise, Alex still felt truly bored.
Finally, Alex's Combat Skill transformed back into a small Furina; he still preferred the appearance of a small Furina~
"I want to see you transform into a small version," Furina suddenly said at that moment.
"Huh?" This was something Alex hadn't expected. He was also very curious what a tiny version of himself would look like?
Alex designated himself. The small Furina turned into a water blob and then transformed. A tiny Alex appeared before Furina and Clorinde.
"Hmm, not bad," Furina said, finishing the small strawberry cake from Clorinde's table.
Now, only the small strawberry cake in front of Alex remained. After all this time, Furina saw that neither of them were eating, so she might as well finish them all herself.
"Fufu, I was thinking of using my summon to let customers designate a character to spray water, to make fruit tea, is that permissible? The 'permissible' as in 'legal'." Alex asked Furina.
Furina's eyes lit up; this idea was indeed good: "Oh, that's a very novel business model!… I think it's fine! But you'd best build good relationships with the people you transform. Otherwise, you could easily get beaten."
"There are indeed loopholes to exploit. The appearance of your Hydro puppet is only somewhat similar to theirs. Besides, you're essentially making merchandise without actually selling it; you're just leveraging the popularity of their character designs. They can't do anything to you."
As the Queen of all waters, all regions, all people, and all laws, Furina took the lead in siding with Alex to help him exploit legal loopholes.
