People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"It's just fun." Shen Qin said he was very happy to see him get humiliated.

Kaia shrugged and looked at the strange-looking flying tool beside him. "By the way, can you tell me more about this flying skateboard? It seems like another good alchemical invention."

"Why don't we go to the square and let you experience it in person?"

Kaia raised his chin and said, "Let's go."

It was already ten o'clock in the evening and there was no one in the square, but the moon was still bright tonight and did not affect the vision much.

"Actually, it's very simple to operate." Shen Qin turned on the skateboard, and it automatically floated ten centimeters above the ground. He stepped on it with his feet one after the other, and it only caused it to sink slightly.

"When standing normally, it will maintain this suspended height. If you want to fly upwards, just lower your body's center of gravity and bend your knees, and it will slowly increase in height. The lower the body's center of gravity, the higher its height. The current version's maximum height is about 50 meters."

Shen Qin now only dared to rise to a height of three or four meters. After the demonstration was almost complete, he slowly stood up and let the skateboard slowly fall.

"A skateboard can move forward and backward. Just tilt it forward or backward. The greater the angle, the faster it moves forward or backward. In the process of moving forward or backward, you can tilt it left or right to turn. Similarly, the greater the angle, the faster you turn."

Shen Qin flew crookedly, it was hard to look at, and he himself felt a little embarrassed.

After stopping, perhaps to save his face, he hurriedly explained to Kaia: "I was debugging it the past few days, and I just started practicing today, so I'm not very proficient. If you master its use, the maximum flying speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour!"

Kaiya didn't care too much about his performance, he just looked at the flying skateboard as if it were a treasure. If Shen Qin didn't lie, then it would be a better flying tool than the Wings of Wind!

"Dawn Winery has invested in this project."

A voice sounded behind them.

Chapter 8: A replacement for the Wings of Wind? A complete improvement!

"Diluk?!" Kaeya looked at the person who came in surprise.

Diluk ignored him and walked up to Shen Qin. "How about it? Cooperate with Chenxi Winery to produce this flying skateboard. I will provide all the funds and materials, you can invest in the technology, and we will split the final profits 50-50."

Kaia complained: "Hey, you are too arrogant!"

Diluk stroked his chin, as if he was thinking about something seriously. "Hmm... Mondstadt is a bit too noisy. If you don't mind, you can move to Dawn Winery. It will be much quieter there. Maybe we can go to the winery for a drink now? And talk about business at the same time."

Shen Qin looked at Diluc who was deliberately ignoring Kaeya with a smile and tears, and spread his hands helplessly: "You are Master Diluc of the Dawn Winery, right? I am very happy, uh... to be appreciated by you, but all the materials for developing the flying skateboard were provided free of charge by the Knights of Favonius, I think they should also have some say in this."

Diluk thought for a moment and replied, "Of course."

Kaeya gave Shen Qin an admiring look, but Diluk's next words broke his defense again.

"Then I'll give them 10% of my 50% profit, and at the same time, they are not allowed to interfere in the management of the business. Otherwise, even if I sell the Dawn Winery, it won't be enough to pay for their compensation."

This was obviously a joke, but he really didn't want to have too much contact with the Knights of Favonius.

"Really? I don't understand what you're struggling with. I know your concerns. We will only let a few people in the Knights Templar who you can trust participate in this matter." Kaia walked forward and sighed.

Diluk finally looked at him and said calmly, "This is really rare. I thought you Knights of Favonius would monopolize this benefit."

"This is not just a simple benefit." Kaiya said seriously, "If the data listed by Shen Qin is true, then the flying skateboard will change the Knights' combat methods to the greatest extent, because the performance of the Wind Wings is far inferior to it!"

"And if we want to sell it publicly on the market, we will only allow it to have half or even one-third of its performance at most. This is because it is very likely to be used by Mond's enemies and then used against Mond."

"I have no objection. These are things that you Knights of Favonius should consider. As long as it does not affect my ability to earn Mora, the rest is up to you."

Shen Qin laughed secretly in his heart. Master Diluk's words sounded a bit cruel, but in the eyes of players who knew him well, this was just his tsundereness.

After all, Di, the Dark Night Hero, Lu, the Righteous Man, Ke, has been protecting Mond in his own way, and he will never allow anyone to destroy Mond in any way.

Oh yes, he also revealed that he had raised a turtle when he was a child. As for the purpose of his disclosure, according to Shen Qin's guess, it was to attract attention to Qin (who also raised a turtle when he was a child).

Shen Qin suddenly wanted to do something, so he said, "How about this, Kaeya, you report the flying skateboard to Captain Qin and ask her if she is willing to represent the Knights to talk to Master Diluk?"

Kaeya looked at him in surprise, then looked at Diluk who was still expressionless, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Not a bad suggestion, what do you think, Master Diluk?"

"It doesn't matter." Diluk seemed to have no emotion. "Want to test the performance of the flying skateboard? Shen Qin doesn't seem to be able to bring out its true performance. How about you try it, Kaeya?"

Kaiya and Shen Qin smiled at each other, and Xiao Xiong spread his hands: "Okay, I'll try it."

He followed Shen Qin's example and got on the skateboard. He first familiarized himself with the operation, then slowly increased the speed. After three or four minutes, he could easily skateboard in the square at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour.

Shen Qin was extremely envious.

It is indeed easier for people who have the Wind Wing flying skills to get started with the flying skateboard because its operating logic is much simpler than that of the Wind Wing.

Kaia landed in front of them with an excited look on his face, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

"The flying skateboard is amazing! It's also very easy to operate. If I can get used to it for another half an hour, I can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour!"

Then he lifted one foot: "I originally thought that it would be easy to throw myself out when flying at high speed, but I didn't expect that after reaching a certain speed, the skateboard would firmly stick to my shoes!"

"And several times when I felt like I was about to lose control, it would automatically adjust its flight attitude to maintain stability. Is this also one of its unique functions?"

"That's right." Shen Qin introduced the two special functions of the skateboard to them. "When the flying speed exceeds ten kilometers per hour, the skateboard will generate a strong suction force on the shoes to prevent them from being thrown away."

"The skateboard also has a built-in intelligent stability system that monitors the pilot's center of gravity changes at all times. When it predicts that the skateboard is about to lose control, it will actively intervene to maintain flight stability. This function can be turned on and off manually and is mainly used to ensure the safety of beginners."

"Interesting." Diluk looked at Kaeya. "What do you think of it?"

"Its performance far exceeds that of the Wind Wings. Most importantly, it is very easy to use and can be easily popularized among ordinary people! The only drawback is that it is larger than the Wind Wings, making it inconvenient to carry in some situations."

Overall, Kaeya still has a very high opinion of it, and he even feels that he can completely abandon the Wings of Wind.

"Well, to solve the problem of inconvenience in carrying, I also designed a small function - smart follow."

Shen Qin turned on a switch and then walked a few meters away. The skateboard followed one meter behind him, moving along his trajectory.

"I can even design an additional 'Team-Following Mode' for the Knights. If there are many people acting together, as long as this mode is turned on, they will automatically copy the operation of the leading skateboard and line up along its flight path, saving the energy of the rest of the team!"

"This is a great feature!" Kaia gave a thumbs up. "When the Knights are carrying out some urgent missions, people often fall behind. If we use this feature, we can completely avoid this problem!"

Diluk observed the flying skateboard expressionlessly, but his heart was not at peace.

He had noticed Shen Qin's behavior in Mondstadt at night a few days ago. When Shen Qin was debugging it a few days ago, he thought that this skateboard could only serve as a substitute for the Wings of Wind. But after actually seeing Shen Qin fly with it tonight, he realized the difference between it and the Wings of Wind.

Now that he had a better understanding of its performance and functions, he realized that it had completely surpassed the Wings of Wind.

"It seems that I still underestimated its technical content." He looked at Shen Qin, "I can give you 60% of the profit, and Dawn Winery and the Knights of Favonius will share the remaining 40%. What do you think of the Knights?"

The last sentence was directed to Kaia.

"completely fine."

Kaia doesn't mind how much profit the Knights get, as long as he can shut some people up. After all, the management and regulation of flying skateboards will also require the Knights' contribution.

"That's it for today, we'll talk more tomorrow."

Diluk left. Kaeya wanted to play skateboarding for a while longer, so he suggested taking Shen Qin back to the alchemy workshop. On the way, he circled around Shen Qin on his skateboard and taunted him sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, didn't our genius alchemist say that skateboards have an intelligent stabilization system? Why did you fall when I saw you just now?"

"Dear cavalry captain, if you hadn't suddenly appeared and scared me, would I have fallen?"

Chapter 9 He will become a legend

"That's the thing. I think the emergence of the flying skateboard will completely change the way of flying in Mond and even the entire continent. The Wind Wings can only be its inferior replacement in the future."

In Qin's office, Qin, Kaiya and Lisa gathered here. They were discussing how to deal with Shen Qin and the flying skateboard.

"Oh, I didn't expect the little cutie to really make such an amazing thing." Lisa leaned lazily against the desk, her eyes shining as she listened to Kaia's description of the flying skateboard.

"Ms. Lisa, you already knew it was him, right? You even encouraged me to catch him by myself yesterday afternoon."

Kaiya looked at her speechlessly. It was only after he and Shen Qin returned home last night that he noticed her abnormality in the library.

Lisa sighed, "Yes, after the library management system was completed, he said that he would make a new flying tool next, and asked me to keep it a secret for him, saying that it would be embarrassing if it failed. I didn't expect that what he made would affect the entire Teyvat. I am really ashamed of myself."

"Lisa, is Shen Qin's alchemy very powerful? Can the same functions as the technologies he used on the flying skateboard be achieved by other methods?" Qin asked.

"It's not a question of how powerful he is, but that he may have created a whole new alchemy system!" A rare serious expression appeared on Lisa's face.

"Let me put it this way. New alchemical products are released every year, but most of them are developed based on... the alchemical materials left behind by Kanreya in various places in Teyvat. After the demise of Kanreya, Teyvat's alchemical technology was interrupted, and the overall level remained stagnant or even regressed for many years!"

"Among the seven nations of Teyvat today, Xumi and Solstice are probably the two nations with the most advanced alchemical technology, and they have more or less borrowed from the former Kanreya technology."

"Among the two alchemy products that Shen Qin has developed, the library management system may still have traces of traditional alchemy, but the flying skateboard basically has no trace of traditional Teyvat alchemy. He has created a completely new alchemy system! In his lifetime, I'm afraid no one will be able to surpass him as the founder of this new system!"

“Perhaps, he will become a legendary figure who influences an era!”

After Lisa finished speaking, the office fell into silence. Qin and Kaiya had not expected that this genius witch would have such a high opinion of Shen Qin, especially the sentence "He will become a figure who influences an era."

There was a long silence, and Kaeya broke the silence by saying, "It's a pity that he is from Liyue, not Mondstadt."

"What does that matter? He is in Mond now." Lisa said with a smile, "He chose to launch his alchemical products in Mond, which means he at least has a good impression of us and Mond. All we have to do is to show our goodwill and make him feel more comfortable in Mond."

Kaiya smiled bitterly: "Has it changed from cooperating with him to trying every possible way to win him over now?"

"It's just helping a friend, how can this be considered as soliciting?" Lisa didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

"In any case, cooperation on the flying skateboard will be a good start to maintain this friendship." Qin made a decisive decision, "Let's go find him now and finalize the cooperation and the next plan as soon as possible. It doesn't matter whether there is a lot of profit or not. If we delay for too long, I'm worried that other cats will get involved if they smell the fish!"

Kaiya naturally had to go with Qin to see Shen Qin. Lisa had no need to get involved in boring negotiations, but she was very curious about the flying skateboard, so she followed them.

But they came back empty-handed, as Shen Qin was not in the alchemy workshop.

Just as Kaia was worried about whether he was in danger, they heard people in the city saying that a little red devil appeared in the Cider Lake. She could fly quickly on the lake without relying on wind wings, and after she flew over the lake, she would leave a series of explosions behind her.

"Oh my, it looks like our genius alchemist is taking our Spark Knight on an outing." Lisa chuckled.

Qin felt a great headache. She could already foresee that after Klee had the flying skateboard, she would cause more trouble than before.

"Let's get there as soon as possible. The outside of Mondstadt is no safer than inside the city. If they make such a big noise and attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives..." Kaeya reminded calmly.

Qin responded: "Yes, let's go quickly."

The intelligence work of the Knights of Favonius was quite effective. After they arrived at the city gate, someone reported the whereabouts of Klee and the others.

As they were galloping along, they heard faint explosion sounds from some distance away. Kaia glanced at Qin and could tell from her expression that her anger was rising.

As they continued forward and came to a place with a wide view, they saw from afar a red figure flying at high speed over the Fruit Wine Lake, with columns of water exploding on the surface of the lake from time to time.

"Klee!" Qin could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. The wind element around her surged, and she spread her wind wings and flew quickly over there.

"Jin is angry, little Klee is doomed!"

As the lightning flashed, Lisa's figure flickered and she quickly caught up by teleporting.

"Hey, don't leave me alone!"

Kaiya complained helplessly and could only jog to catch up.

When traveling on flat ground, he is not as fast as the witch and Qin who uses the wind element with the wings of wind, but this may not be the case if he is on water.

After all, he is the "True Lord Ningbing Duhai".

When Kaeya arrived at the lake, he saw Klee standing next to Jyn with her head down, but Jyn actually had a smile on her face. When he turned his gaze to the person who was talking to her, the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hi! Diluk, Shen Qin, and little Klee."

"Brother Kaeya." Klee greeted him softly, Shen Qin nodded to him, and Diluk ignored him as usual.

"This is the sincerity of Dawn Winery. I will take 30% of the 40% profit. If the Knights of Favonius do not participate in the management, I can give you 10%. But if you insist on getting involved, then I will have no choice but to withdraw from this cooperation."

Even when facing Jean, Diluk sticks to his bottom line. He believes in her, and even Kaeya, whom he dislikes, but he will never trust certain people in the Knights Templar.

"I understand your concerns, but the circulation of flying skateboards must be under the control of the Knights. You may not understand what changes it will bring to Teyvat. We, the Knights, must control these changes."

"Qin, you are not the savior. There is no need to take all the responsibility on yourself..." Diluk shook his head.

Shen Qin did not participate in their discussion. He was just an alchemist, not a politician or a businessman. He could leave these troublesome matters to them. He was only responsible for doing research in the alchemy workshop.

"Look at the largest jet at the bottom. It is responsible for providing the skateboard with vertical upward thrust. The front and rear jets provide forward and backward thrust." He explained the structure of the skateboard to the studious Lisa. "These three jets can rotate in direction. Together with the fixed jets on each side, the skateboard can fly and turn."

"Are they all controlled by an intelligent system? All data processing and complex calculations can be completed solely by the built-in terminal?" Lisa was very surprised. The Xumi void also had very powerful computing power, but that was achieved by relying on the terminals of countless Xumi people within the coverage area and the world tree of ancient wisdom.

"In fact, the amount of data processing for a single skateboard is not exaggerated. The biggest role is played by the algorithm..."

Kaiya listened for a while, but couldn't understand what was being said between these intellectuals, so he ran over to Qin and the others, only to hear them seem to be talking about things in the past.

Although he also participated in some stories, in their mouths, he seemed to have become an insignificant marginal character.

"Ahem." He interrupted them and said in front of Qin's murderous eyes, "Well, I'm sorry to disturb your leisure, about the flying skateboard, should we find a hidden place to talk? After all, the side of the wine lake is not a good place to negotiate. But if we want to reminisce about the past with friends, it is a good choice, what do you think?"

Chapter 10: Let Mondstadt’s popularity become popular in Teyvat

The Fruit Wine Lake was certainly not a place to talk about serious matters, so everyone quickly returned to the Knights of Favonius. Before entering the office, Jean glanced at Klee.
