Compared to the problem of face, Imai Jiro was obviously more afraid of being invited by the West Factory to "drink tea."
He quickly and honestly confessed that he was actually just going to the construction site in Port Fudé for a temporary job interview.
Paimon crossed her arms and said angrily, "How can you be like this? I almost believed it, it's so hateful!"
Imai Jiro lowered his head and sighed, "I don't have much education, and my physical strength is not good. If I don't do this, I can't even pass the interview."
Aether asked in confusion, "Isn't it just an interview for a temporary job? And it's temporary, is it necessary to be like this? I remember that the construction sites in Mondstadt are all short of people."
Imai Jiro raised his head and explained seriously, "Traveler, these two are completely different. The one in Mondstadt is called a labor dispatch worker, and the contract is signed with a greedy labor company, without any guarantee. And here in Port Fudé, labor dispatch is completely prohibited. The construction company must sign a formal contract with the workers, even for temporary workers."
After hearing this, Aether finally understood why Imai Jiro would act like this, but understanding did not equal approval.
He persuaded, "I suggest you be more honest. Compared to ability, character is actually more important."
Imai Jiro pondered for a moment, nodded solemnly, and said, "I understand."
Then, under his guidance, the group came to the train station and took the steam train to Port Fudé.
About an hour later, the train slowly arrived at the station.
The moment Aether and Paimon stepped out of the Port Fudé train station, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.
What a prosperous scene this was!
The towering skyscrapers, the bustling crowds, the clean and tidy city roads, the beautiful and neat green landscape… all of this impacted their worldview.
They felt as if they had traveled through time and space and arrived in the future world hundreds of years later.
Imai Jiro looked at their dumbfounded expressions and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came here. At that time, he was even more exaggerated than them.
"Traveler, and your partner, I will say goodbye to you here." He waved goodbye to them.
Aether came back to his senses and waved his hand, "I wish you a successful interview."
After Imai Jiro left, Paimon suggested, "Traveler, let's explore this city first. There must be a lot of delicious food in this prosperous city."
Aether said with a smile, "All you know is eating. Our money bag is about to be eaten empty by you."
Paimon retorted with dissatisfaction, "The money bag was obviously emptied by you pulling card packs."
Aether was speechless for a moment. Pulling cards was really too easy to get addicted to.
Then, they began to explore the city of Port Fudé, which was full of modern civilization.
The more they explored, the more shocked they felt.
They could hardly imagine that the construction of this city took only more than a year.
"Traveler, that coffee seller is actually a god, right?" Paimon said with certainty.
Aether also agreed with this, "I think so too."
…
At the entrance of Enkanomiya on Watatsumi Island.
"Director Yide, thank you so much," Sangonomiya Kokomi said gratefully to Yide.
Yide waved his hand gently and replied, "You're welcome. Since your Watatsumi Island has decided to become a special administrative region of Port Fudé, it is equivalent to a part of Port Fudé. It is also our duty to help you solve this trouble."
After hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi was even more glad about the decision she had made, "No matter what, our Watatsumi Island will remember this kindness."
Yide chuckled and said no more.
It didn't matter whether the people of Watatsumi Island remembered the kindness or not. They just had to remember that the guards of the West Factory were stationed on the island.
Then, Yide stepped into the entrance of Enkanomiya with a calm pace.
As soon as he entered, a dark and hidden world was displayed before his eyes.
This space was cold and humid, and the primitive elements filled it, giving people a feeling of emptiness and antiquity.
He passed through the long Serpent's Bowels, and his eyes gradually focused on the center of the ruins of the Byakuyakoku in the distance, where the magnificent Dainichi Mikoshi stood.
All along, Yide had been very proud of his achievements.
He passed through the long serpent-like road, and his eyes gradually focused on the center of the ruins of the Byakuyakoku in the distance, where the magnificent Dainichi Mikoshi stood.
The builder of the Dainichi Mikoshi, Aberaku, was inspired by Istaroth. In a barren land, he presided over the construction of this miracle with only his own talent and wisdom.
This made people have to admire his talent.
But at the same time, it also made people regret that his understanding of human nature was too naive.
This person who once brought light to the Byakuyakoku was eventually imprisoned on the top of the Dainichi Mikoshi and died in depression.
Yide sighed with regret, and then continued to walk forward.
After an hour of trekking, he finally came to the ruins of the Byakuyakoku Library.
Before he got close, a young man in a dark gray Inazuman kimono suddenly blocked his way.
"Young man, this is not a place you should come to. Go back quickly! Otherwise, the cruel flames will swallow you up!" the man warned sternly.
Yide was not afraid at all. He asked calmly, "Do you know who I am?"
Hearing this, the man burst out laughing. He asked back, "Ignorant human, do you know who I am?"
Yide glanced at him and contemptuously spat out two words, "Enjou."
Enjou's face changed dramatically. Before he could react, he saw Yide's palm surrounded by biting ice elements, rushing towards him fiercely.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound was heard, and Enjou was directly slapped away.
