In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

How can he lead the Fools to grow bigger and stronger when working with such a colleague?

After a sigh, the clown said somewhat reluctantly, "Ms. Rosalyn, if you're willing to join the Fools, we'll offer you the same treatment. Is that alright?"

Rosalyn's smile was stiff.

Can anyone tell her why things turned out this way?

Is this some kind of job fair?

And most importantly, the other party still hasn't taken a liking to her?

Dude, I'm the Flame Witch, after all. Her actions over the years, if not universally known, certainly deserve the title of "famous."

You're starting to look down on me?

But that was indeed the case. After the necessary exchange, the clown looked at Xu Guang with burning eyes.

To be honest, Xu Guang was quite happy, as it reminded him of his days as a salesman in his previous life.

Back then, he went to great lengths to practice his oratory skills, such as selling shoes to patients with high-level paralysis and promoting the latest projectors to blind children.

The person in front of me is just more challenging.

Xu Guang smiled modestly: "What this gentleman offered is very sincere. Although I really want to join, I already have an organization."

Piero, the clown, frowned.

what?

That's normal, though. Even he was a little envious of such talent, so it's only natural that other organizations would take notice of him.

But he was unwilling to give up.

He wanted to hold on a little longer, so he drew upon the Queen's power from his robes, his gaze blazing.

"I don't know what organization you're talking about, but I can tell you that the Fools' strength is beyond your imagination, and our ideals are incredibly grand."

To fight against the abyss, so that people will no longer shed tears because of it; to overturn the laws of nature, so that everyone can sing in the air of freedom.

Even if this path comes at a price.

As for why Xu Guang was shown this, the reason is quite simple: he originally intended to use it to suppress the power within Rosalin's body.

Those who don't know anything about this would only think that this Flame Witch is extremely terrifying, able to burn a lake and turn terrible monsters to ashes with a wave of her hand.

But those in the know have already started laughing.

It's just power gained at the cost of one's life; few people besides madmen would be willing to do it.

This is why Piero made a special trip.

Without him, it's uncertain whether the other person will even see the sun tomorrow.

Xu Guang simply smiled as he looked at the divine power in the clown's hand.

He has plenty of that stuff; if he needs it, he can just ask Thor for it that very night.

They'll only get more, and even more of it.

However, Del Piero does have a lot of charisma. Despite his expressionless face in the CG, he has a passionate heart, which explains why he was able to found the Fatui.

Xu Guang shook his head, then took out a book.

That was the doctrine he wrote.

"The cult I joined, called the **God Cult, also had reasons that appealed to me."

He hadn't forgotten the church. Although his initial goal was just to find Hu Tao, the worst thing about all things is that he had already come all this way.

We've already come this far, with the saintess and logistics all arranged. Giving up halfway wouldn't be a good idea.

Xu Guang looked at Piero and said slowly, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Although I cannot join you, we can still cooperate. I believe I have something here that will interest you."

The clown looked at the other person without saying a word.

He is rarely rejected, but he is unlikely to get angry about it.

At his level, power was enough to get him most of what he needed, and anything more could be obtained through brute force.

Everyone knows that the executors of the Fools are powerful, and he happens to be the strongest one.

Demi god?

Ha, he can face the true gods directly, and he might not even die.

You should know that even gods are divided into different ranks. The false gods that the stragglers became in the original storyline were the lowest rank.

In such situations, the clown will often appear very gentle and will use methods of discussion to resolve problems.

This is the arrogance of someone in a position of power, and his indifference.

If the problem cannot be solved, he has plenty of energy and means.

Xu Guang looked at the other person's expression and understood that he had not been persuaded. However, it didn't matter. He had just made a little byproduct while researching the new toy. Although it was of no use to him, the Fools would definitely need it.

Xu Guang pulled out something resembling the Eye of God from his pocket and introduced it with a smile.

"A brand new elemental organ that can more effectively mobilize elemental power and turn the abyss into its own. It also has a function that allows users to obtain even greater power if they are willing to pay a certain price."

You know, there are times when we need the sacrifices of those who fill in the gaps. Since that's the case, why not make their sacrifices more meaningful?

As Piero listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This is good stuff.

To understand how a force can grow stronger, the most basic requirements are strength, funding, and ideology.

After years of operation, the Fools' Clan, while not incredibly wealthy, certainly has enough money and a firm belief in its mission. Therefore, the most urgent and pressing issue to address is strengthening its capabilities.

Piero also knew that what they were doing might not be understood by most people, so they needed to have the power to convince others.

But not everyone has the opportunity to obtain the Eye of God.

So recently they've been going down some wrong path, trying to create something called the Evil Eye by imitating the Eye of God.

With this, one can burn one's life for a fleeting moment of glory.

Anyone familiar with the original plot will definitely remember this.

Wasn't Teppei just like the little guy the traveler met in Inazuma?

However, the other party was using a mass-produced model, which required a higher price, leading to his untimely death.

Now that there are better options available, Del Piero must be very tempted.

He just didn't know how this thing was developed.

At that time, Xu Guang was thinking of creating an electric stimulant to unleash the characters' greater potential through a two-pronged approach.

For example, you could add a clip to this thing to hold the red beans.

What could be more portable than the Eye of God, which he knows all the characters?

So he made some modifications, but unexpectedly, he didn't achieve the effect he originally wanted; instead, many of the features were useless to him.

Chapter 311: Nobody Loses Out

Piero picked up the unusual evil eye and examined it carefully.

The other party was not lying. After he infused his power, he did feel the higher efficiency of the elements. If he wore it, he could increase his power by about 30%.

This can greatly reduce the casualty rate.

A newfound fervor flickered in Piero's eyes.

He initially thought the other person could be an assistant or thought leader for the Fools, but now it seems that the other person should also be able to serve as the head of the research department.

If that's the case, PhD students won't have to stay in the lab all the time, and they'll have more manpower available to mobilize.

Now he's no longer thinking about recruiting, but rather about kidnapping them.

He couldn't think of any other group besides the Fools that would be suitable for the other party's development.

This is for the other person's own good.

Xu Guang continued to speak eloquently: "You've tried the effects of this thing yourself. My assessment is that if it were mass-produced, its value would be immeasurable. This can be considered as a sign of our **God Cult's sincerity."

Piero nodded and said, "So what do you need?"

This burly man, with his iron will, just managed to control his urge to kidnap the other person.

He thought it through very clearly, because scientific research cannot be forced. Forcibly taking it away will only make the other party resentful and may cause them to lose their enthusiasm for the work.

In that case, it would be better to communicate first and then proceed gradually.

Great plans need people's help, and he has the time.

Xu Guang looked at the person in front of him, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "There's no rush. I'll come and get it later. You just need to know that it won't be too much."

The conversation ended.

Piero still had some regrets.

He ultimately failed to persuade the other party to join, but he still made a considerable profit.

Looking at the evil eye in his hand, the clown gradually lost his expression.

Did you actually get your hands on something good?

This guy's got something; it's no wonder he's been acting here for so long.

As the CEO, do you really think he has no guard up at all?

Showing weakness to the enemy is also a skill.

The moment he saw Xu Guang, he decided to test him, because the Empress's prophecy would not be wrong.

There are only two possibilities: either this person has unique equipment that can conceal their destiny, or the other party possesses power no less than that of Her Majesty the Queen.

Both of them deserve his serious attention.

So he used his goodwill to extract more information.

Fortunately, the other party got a little carried away by his flattery and didn't notice the problem. He also managed to get a lot of good stuff from him.

This trip was not in vain.

Looking at Rosalyn, the clown looked thoughtful.

It's almost certain that this person will become a member of the Fools in the future the Queen foresaw.

However, it's best to check it after you take it home.

Xu Guang, who had left, looked at the contract in his hand and couldn't stop smiling.

Makes a fortune!

He traded something he could create at will for the opportunity to legitimately fill any role in the Fools.

Who says this business is bad?

Too profitable.

He could certainly use some less-than-honorable means to achieve his goals, but the existence of the contract still added a bit of pleasure to his life in some ways.

As for Piero's true thoughts, to be honest, he didn't care, since it posed no threat to him anyway.

With this matter settled, it was time to go back, but Xu Guang sighed.

He never expected that he would end up eating the woman, even though he hadn't intended to do it at first.

Forget it, let it be.

Rewinding to the moment when the traveler set off, only a few seconds had passed.

Looking at the trembling traveler beside him, Xu Guang carefully put away the contract, already having figured out how to use it.

It should be noted that the Fools have a large number of members besides the executive officers, including ice and lightning sorcerers, as well as the Mirror Lady, who are all quite attractive, and even some servants.

The so-called "Yakujin" are elite agents within the Fools' Clan, possessing not only great strength but also exceptional physiques.

There's a chance something nice might happen.

But let's deal with the travelers first. Xu Guang patted the traveler's back lightly and smiled.

"You have to be patient, or you won't get the reward."

Ying blinked her innocent eyes and gritted her teeth.
