Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 254: Past Events (Automatic Figure)

Zhen knew Chen Yue's achievements in the field of mechanical engineering and admired him deeply. However, when he heard Chen Yue's confident words again today, he still couldn't help but feel shocked.

"So, how do you plan to improve this mechanical puppet? After all, it already looks very exquisite." Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Yue gently stroked the puppet in his hand, his eyes flashing with thought, as if he was thinking of some great idea. "This mechanical puppet is indeed very delicate, but in my opinion, there are still many areas that can be improved. For example, its movements seem a bit stiff and not smooth and natural. But the most important thing is that it can't move independently."

Chen Yue smiled slightly and continued, "I am a lazy person and I am not particularly interested in mechanical devices that require manual operation. Most of the items I make have automatic functions."

"So, I plan to power it up and make it a puppet that can move on its own. Next, I just need to make some minor modifications and paint it, and I can turn it into a unique 'Thor' automatic figurine! Considering that it's the festive season, I would feel bad if I didn't give you a gift. I believe that as the God of Thunder, you would not refuse this generous gift."

As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up instantly. As the god of thunder, she naturally had a special feeling for the power of thunder and lightning, and a mechanical puppet that could move automatically and even had thunder and lightning attributes was undoubtedly the best gift for her.

"Is this really possible? I never thought there would be such a special gift." Zhen's face was full of surprise. Her beautiful eyes were wide open at the moment. She was obviously unbelievable about what Chen Yue said, but at the same time full of anticipation and excitement.

Before this, she had never thought in this direction, and the plan proposed by Chen Yue seemed to open the door to a whole new world for her.

Chen Yue smiled confidently and answered in a relaxed tone: "Of course, it's not a difficult task for me." His eyes were firm and confident, as if he had already made up his mind.

Zhen looked at Chen Yue gratefully and said quickly: "Then thank you in advance. I will help you prepare the materials after returning to Inazuma."

However, Chen Yue tilted his head, with a puzzled tone, as if he didn't understand why Zhen had to go to so much trouble: "Huh? Why wait until we get back to Inazuma to solve something that can be solved in five minutes?"

"Ah? How much?" Zhen was stunned. She had never expected that Chen Yue's words of "slightly modifying and coloring" would be so quick. She widened her eyes, as if to confirm whether she had heard it wrongly.

"Five minutes." Chen Yue confirmed again. He tapped his fingers on the puppet, as if calculating the time. "In fact, if all the materials are complete, I can go even faster."

"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon." As he said that, Chen Yue slapped Zhen's palm, and a mark of triple scar of thunder was engraved on Zhen's palm.

"Sky flying thunder god!"

To Zhen's astonishment, Chen Yue's figure seemed to melt into the air, leaving only a faint lightning mark. Zhen's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She had never thought that such magic existed. This ability to teleport was like a myth to her.

She felt a slight warmth in her palm, a unique feeling brought by the triple scar of thunder. She gently stroked the mark, her heart filled with anticipation for the gift that Chen Yue would bring back.

Time seemed to become long at this moment, and every second seemed to be stretched. But she was unusually calm in her heart, because she knew that Chen Yue would definitely bring her a special surprise.

Finally, when Chen Yue appeared again, Zhen's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She saw Chen Yue holding an exquisite box in his hand, which was emitting a faint lightning, as if it contained some mysterious power.

"This is your gift." Chen Yue handed the box to Zhen with a smile.

Zhen couldn't wait to reach out and gently opened the lid of the box. A soft light immediately emanated from it. She widened her eyes and was stunned by the scene before her.

What she saw was an exquisite doll, which was completely different from the one she had seen before. Every detail of it was carefully carved and painted, as if it were an incomparable work of art.

What surprised her even more was that the eyes of the doll actually flashed the same light as hers. She couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently touch the doll's cheek. The delicate touch made her smile with joy.

"This is...myself?"

She was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close, and her voice was filled with incredible joy.

Chen Yue smiled and nodded, with a proud light in his eyes: "Yes, this is you. Based on my previous impression and feeling of you, I re-carved its face and posture, and restored your charm as much as possible. Moreover, I also added some special elements to it."

Looking closely at the doll, I was surprised to find that its hair seemed to have a real touch, as if it was woven from real hair. Not only that, the doll's clothes were inlaid with some gemstones that flashed with lightning. They emitted a faint but eye-catching light, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire doll.

However, what surprised Zhen the most was that there was a small crystal embedded in the chest of the doll. The crystal kept beating, as if it had its own life, and at the same time emitted a faint lightning. Zhen was deeply attracted by the scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is this crystal?"

Chen Yue smiled and explained patiently: "This is its power source, you can say it is its heart. As I said before, I am a lazy person, so I specially found an electric crystal to serve as its core. As long as this crystal is replaced regularly, the puppet can always stay active."

You are really stunned by what you hear, and at the same time you feel a little speechless about your current situation.

As the current God of Thunder, not only is she not as good as Ying in using the power of thunder and lightning, but even Chen Yue, who has acquired the ability of thunder element in less than half a year, has used more tricks than her.

"This...is this really for me?" Zhen asked incoherently.

Chen Yue nodded and said seriously: "Yes, according to our customs, it is my duty to give you a New Year gift. I hope you like it and that it can bring you some surprises and happiness."
