“Ding, successfully joined the plot, the system is officially activated.
This participation earned 50,000 popularity, the character portrait is unlocked.
Reaching 500,000 popularity will unlock the God's Eye and Elemental Skill.
Next popularity will be officially settled after the host reaches Aaru Village.”
Leaving Sumeru City, Si Xuan heard the long-awaited prompt from the system.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
‘After five hundred years, the dog system finally awakened. But I basically have no use for you now. ’
Si Xuan was not originally from this world.
He was from a different world and, for some reason, crossed over to the world of Teyvat.
He remembered that he seemed to have stayed in the darkness for a long time.
Until the light accompanied by laughter grew brighter and brighter.
He slowly regained consciousness.
As soon as he woke up, he met Focalors, who had just taken over the position of the God.
Focalors learned that Si Xuan was from another world.
She generously invited Si Xuan to settle in Fontaine.
Si Xuan originally planned to go to Liyue.
But thinking about the dangers of the journey at this time.
The Khaenri'ah War had just ended.
The monsters created by Rhinedottir were ravaging the entire continent.
Even those with God's Eyes could die.
He had nothing to his name, going from Fontaine to Liyue.
It was no different than seeking death.
Furthermore, the Liyue now.
Apart from the Adepti, none of the characters he knew were there.
Even Zhongli, was not the social derelict who made others pay for him.
Ganyu, Shenhe, those wives, hadn't even been born yet.
And he was just an ordinary person.
To live for a hundred years was already a stroke of luck.
Five hundred years from now, there wouldn't even be ashes left.
Thinking about it, Si Xuan felt a bit disheartened.
He planned to find a job in Fontaine and then find a wife.
Get married, have children, and after the monsters are dealt with.
Go to other countries, take a look.
Meet Ganyu, Yanfei, and the cunning fox.
It would be a slight consolation for the regret in his heart.
Focalors saw Si Xuan's disheartened state.
She gave him a position in the Court of Fontaine.
And asked the Kapasa family, a venerable family in Fontaine at that time, to take care of him.
“From now on, you are Si Xuan de Fontaine,
My ‘child’ (subject).”
Leaving this statement, Focalors vanished.
Of course, in the eyes of the Fontainese.
Focalors did not vanish,
She was still the water god, behaving exaggeratedly,
And looking powerful and divine.
But Si Xuan knew,
The real Archon Focalors,
Had already entered the Divine Verdict.
They wouldn't meet again for another five hundred years.
And he wouldn't live that long.
Thus, Si Xuan settled in Fontaine.
With his knowledge and understanding of another world.
Si Xuan easily blended into the Court of Fontaine.
His position rose steadily.
About three years later.
The monsters plaguing Teyvat
Were almost entirely eradicated.
The Seven Nations also resumed communication.
Thanks to his outstanding work ability.
And his understanding of other nations.
Si Xuan was appointed as Fontaine's diplomat.
Specifically responsible for diplomacy with other nations.
After becoming a diplomat.
The system that Si Xuan had been waiting for awakened.
The system was called "Strongest 5-Star Character System."
By participating in the plot,
Gaining popularity,
When popularity reaches a certain level.
Si Xuan could unlock the character story protagonist PV, character skills, legendary quests, and constellations required for the role.
As popularity increases.
Si Xuan's abilities would become stronger and stronger.
But this system was considered useless by Si Xuan.
Because there were still five hundred years before the plot began.
Could an ordinary person like him really live that long?
The useless system shattered Si Xuan's last hope.
He began to settle down comfortably in Fontaine.
However, after forty years, Si Xuan remained as young as he was in his twenties.
One hundred years later, his old subordinates all left him.
Si Xuan suddenly realized.
He must have been cursed by Focalors.
When he realized this truth.
Si Xuan's heart broke.
He was just an ordinary person, the knowledge he had learned in his original world.
He had used up most of it over these one hundred years.
The plots he knew were all from four hundred years in the future.
For him, these blank four hundred years were an unknown challenge.
Fortunately, Fontaine, under Focalors' instructions, brought him good news.
Si Xuan remembered, it was a day with a fine drizzle.
Fontaine, holding an umbrella, after watching a performance at the Opéra Epicles.
She went straight to Si Xuan's office.
“My capable subordinate, your God has a very important task for you.
I hope you complete it diligently.”
Still that exaggerated tone, even though Fontaine had already established her own divine authority.
But fearing mistakes, she didn't dare to slightly change the personality she had been performing.
Because she couldn't stand a second questioning from the Fontainese.
“My dear God, I'm so busy, I can barely keep up.
Do you remember three days ago, you made me the highest commander of Fontaine's patrol team?
Now, besides handling diplomacy, I also have to handle Fontaine's internal security.
Plus, the Grand Judge of Fontaine, Elwin, retired recently due to old age.
I've been acting as the Grand Judge for a few days. You can't keep milking one sheep, can you?”
Fontaine's heterochromia eyes showed a hint of guilt.
After all, her water god doesn't handle much,
She had basically put all the pressure on Si Xuan.
Although he was called a diplomat, in the eyes of the Fontainese.
Si Xuan was already considered the actual ruler of Fontaine.
Now the conflict between the Fontainese people and the nobles was getting more and more intense.
If not for Si Xuan's intervention,
The two sides would have already erupted in violent conflict.
But even with Si Xuan, a diplomat who had governed Fontaine for a hundred years, keeping them in check.
The two sides were still clashing secretly.
This can be seen from the increasing number of cases in the court.
Si Xuan noticed this trend from the beginning.
But at first, he thought he was an ordinary person.
He would only work in Fontaine for a few decades.
After retirement, he planned to find a good Feng Shui location to spend his old age.
So he only suppressed the old nobles.
He didn't completely eradicate them.
After all, Fontaine's biggest crisis was the prophecy several hundred years in the future.
Not the struggle between the nobility and the commoners.
These conflicts could be resolved after Navillettes took office.
He was an ordinary person who would retire when his time came.
He didn't want to offend a large number of people and affect his retirement life.
However, when Si Xuan realized that he was cursed by Focalors.
The conflict between the two sides had almost reached an irreconcilable point.
The original Grand Judge, Elwin Kapasa.
He saw early on that the conflict between the two sides could no longer be reconciled.
So he resigned from his position as Grand Judge, citing poor health.
He also led most of his family back to the ancestral home of the family, the town of Bainsang.
To avoid the imminent conflict.
Due to the suddenness, Si Xuan, who had the second highest reputation in Fontaine after Fontaine,
Temporarily served as the Grand Judge for a few days.
“I'm here to relieve your work pressure.
After thinking hard all night, I finally found the most suitable candidate to be the Grand Judge.
This time, it's up to you, my most capable assistant, Fontaine, to go and invite him.”
Si Xuan faintly guessed who Fontaine was referring to.
But he still cooperated and asked:
“Who?”
“On the southwestern edge of Fontaine, near the land where the Melusine live, the village of Hemose.
There's a man surnamed Navillettes, I've written a letter to you.
You just need to deliver the letter to him.”
Si Xuan found Navillettes with the letter.
Navillettes, after seeing the letter from the Archon Focalors.
He agreed to serve as the Grand Judge of Fontaine.
But he demanded to bring the Melusine to Fontaine to live with him.
Si Xuan agreed immediately, but gave Navillettes a warning.
That is, the Fontainese didn't have a good impression of the Melusine.
Plus, the old noble faction was still powerful.
The Melusine might face discrimination from the Fontainese if she went there.
If Navillettes wanted the Melusine to be treated with equal respect and dignity in Fontaine.
He would have to preside over reforms in Fontaine in his capacity as Grand Judge.
The final result was similar to what Si Xuan remembered.
Navillettes served as Grand Judge for a few years, accumulated some prestige, and then.
With Si Xuan's help, he began to reform Fontaine's old system.
Si Xuan also gradually delegated some of his authority to Navillettes during the reform process.
When the reforms were fully implemented, Si Xuan relinquished a lot of his power.
He began to focus on diplomacy and his own career.
The system told Si Xuan that his character PV and legendary quests.
Would be made based on the things he did before the start of the plot.
In other words, how his character would be judged.
Whether he could collect enough popularity when he went online.
It all depended on what Si Xuan did in these five hundred years.
Si Xuan thought that a poor, hardworking wage slave who spends all day working on paperwork.
Wouldn't have many fans, right?
He wasn't a woman.
He still had to find a way to do something earth-shattering,
Even though Si Xuan wanted to be like the adoptive father next door,
Directly give a whole bunch of money, the popularity would definitely explode.
But unfortunately, a certain two-word game wouldn't be so generous.
Si Xuan didn't know what role the system would give him.
He had a Pyro God's Eye.
He should be a Pyro character, unless something unexpected happens.
Si Xuan didn't plan to appear in the first two versions.
The Mondstadt and Liyue versions were the barbaric ages.
Who in the Mondstadt and Liyue versions would dare to compete with Hu Tao and the old geezer for popularity.
Especially since he and Hu Tao were both Pyro elements.
The Inazuma version also had a fragrance knife and King's Hand.
Enter the card pool in these two versions.
He could only become a supporting character,
He'd end up becoming an NPC like Albedo.
So Si Xuan planned to make his appearance in the Sumeru version.
Except for the Dendro Archon, Sumeru didn't really have any characters with explosive popularity.
Although Alhaitham's popularity was high, his personality was too messed up.
Although there were some crazy fans, compared to the first two versions,
Si Xuan still had a fighting chance.
The only thing that was worrying was that Si Xuan's God's Eye was Pyro.
He was basically excluded from the mainstream gameplay of the major versions.
Maybe the Natlan version would raise Pyro characters.
But Si Xuan didn't want to be a future warrior.
Si Xuan pondered for a long time, finally making a decision.
Since he couldn't join the mainstream lineup in terms of strength.
He might as well find a niche system that was unpopular but still had many players.
Speaking of niche systems in Teyvat.
Speaking of niche systems, there was one system that was cold from launch to the Fontaine version.
