Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Construction of Fudé Port, Part 2



The exalted Lady Furina, Hydro Archon of Fontaine, arrived at Fudé Port, which was most loyal to her.

This shocking news spread rapidly across the entire Yashiori Island like wildfire, causing the island's residents to feel both awe and apprehension.

The workers at Fudé Port spared no effort while working, fearing to incur the displeasure of this benevolent deity.

In the late morning, accompanied by Lin Yide and the West Factory guards, Furina entered the construction site for inspection.

As a result, after only ten minutes of inspection, Furina furrowed her brow and expressed strong dissatisfaction to Lin Yide, the head of the West Factory.

The surrounding workers were filled with trepidation, mistakenly believing that it was their lack of diligence that had incurred the goddess's displeasure.

But in reality, it was the complete opposite of what they imagined.

Furina, adopting a goddess-like demeanor, said with some indignation: "Is this how your West Factory cruelly exploits workers? The labor intensity these workers are undertaking clearly exceeds that of an ordinary person by more than double."

Lin Yide felt quite helpless. Although he was a black-hearted capitalist, he still possessed basic human decency.

He had repeatedly issued warnings to these people through the West Factory guards, hoping they would reasonably arrange their work and rest, but it seemed they had misunderstood these warnings and instead redoubled their efforts.

"They are working so hard because they don't want to lose this rather good job," he could only explain.

Furina still harbored doubts about this explanation, "Is that really so?"

Lin Yide sighed, turned to a guards beside him, and ordered, "Go quickly and fetch Gorou."

That Fanwei responded and quickly ran towards a spot not far away.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gorou arrived in a hurry, led by that guards.

When Gorou saw Furina, an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had never expected that the legendary God of Justice, Furina, would actually be a radiant and beautiful young lady, and one who appeared so approachable.

He composed his expression, slightly bent his legs, intending to kneel to express his highest respect for this deity.

Lin Yide quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Gorou, don't do that. We don't have such etiquette in Fontaine either."

Furina quickly said in a gentle voice, "There's no need for this. I don't care about such formalities; simply respecting me in your heart is enough."

Hearing her say this, Gorou felt an even deeper respect for her in his heart.

"Lady Furina, you are truly a magnanimous deity!" he said with a sincere tone.

Immediately after, Lin Yide began to ask, "Mr. Gorou, please tell me truthfully, does our West Factory engage in forcing or exploiting your labor?"

Gorou responded without hesitation, "The West Factory has never forced or exploited our labor.

In fact, as Watatsumi Islanders, we feel that the West Factory's treatment of us is truly too generous.

Actually, we are fully capable of working up to sixteen hours a day."

Upon hearing this, Furina was completely speechless.

You must know that in Fontaine, there is only one person capable of working sixteen hours a day.

If anyone else worked sixteen hours, their employer would be summoned for questioning by the West Factory.

Lin Yide then asked, "So, do you have any dissatisfaction with the work here?"

Gorou replied after a slight hesitation, "Dissatisfaction, there is none. But if possible, I hope the West Factory can consider employing more Watatsumi Islanders. Because employing one Watatsumi Islander means being able to support a family of four to five people."

The kind-hearted Furina promised in a gentle tone, "Mr. Gorou, please rest assured, I will urge the West Factory to employ as many people from Watatsumi Island as possible."

"Thank you very much, great and benevolent Lady Furina," Gorou's words were filled with heartfelt gratitude.

At this point, Lin Yide seriously warned Gorou, "Mr. Gorou, this is my last reminder to you: do not let the people of Watatsumi Island maintain an excessively high labor intensity.

I understand your thinking. You hope to gain employment for more Watatsumi Islanders by showcasing their diligence.

However, such an approach might trigger unnecessary conflicts. I hope you understand this point."

Upon hearing this, Gorou's heart tensed, and he immediately responded, "Director Yide, I completely understand."

Following that, he bade them farewell and quickly returned to his workstation.

As soon as Gorou returned to the construction site, he immediately gathered all the Watatsumi Island workers and announced a new decision to them: "Listen up, everyone. We are now going to reduce our work intensity, adjusting it to the same level as the workers from Yashiori Island."

However, this news did not trigger enthusiastic cheers.

On the contrary, expressions of worry appeared on the workers' faces.

They feared that this change might mean the West Factory would cut their wages, or even dismiss them.

Because as Watatsumi Islanders, their faith was in Orobashi no Mikoto, while the residents of Yashiori Island had almost all converted to believing in Furina.

Gorou used various arguments before managing to convince them that this wasn't the case.

He repeatedly assured them that the West Factory had no intention of reducing wages or dismissing them.

Next, Gorou also revealed some good news: "Goddess Furina has agreed to consider employing more people from Watatsumi Island."

This news immediately caused a sensation among the workers.

They surrounded Gorou one after another, eagerly recommending their relatives and friends to work at Fudé Port.

......

In the afternoon, another piece of good news spread throughout Yashiori Island: In welcoming Lady Furina's arrival, the West Factory decided to freely distribute ten catties of rice and one catty of white bread to all believers who follow Furina.

This news immediately sparked an enthusiastic reaction from the residents of Yashiori Island, who one after another expressed heartfelt gratitude for Furina's generosity.

Although most residents were pseudo-believers, only believing in Furina for the sake of food.

As time went on, influenced and inspired by the pious believers around them, their faith gradually became firm and fervent.

Watching the residents of Yashiori Island joyfully collecting rice and white bread, the Watatsumi Island workers showed deep envy.

Their faith was in Orobashi no Mikoto; they were true seafarers, and changing their faith would be a betrayal of themselves.

Just then, the West Factory guards ran over and secretly told them that by joining them, they could also believe in other deities.

This news caused a huge stir among the Watatsumi Island workers, and Gorou was also deeply shocked.

Because very few deities would allow their believers to simultaneously believe in other deities.

After a period of careful consideration, Gorou stepped forward and loudly declared, "I, Gorou, am willing to become a believer of the great God of Justice, Lady Furina, upholding justice and fairness. Fumen~!"

Following this pious recitation, he received ten catties of rice and five white bread rolls.

With his example, the Watatsumi Island workers one after another cast aside their inner worries and successively swore oaths to become believers of Furina.
