People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Qin picked up a thick stack of papers, which she had sorted out in the office alone yesterday.

"First of all, there are the regulations and management of flying skateboards. Just like the Wings of Wind, the Knights will formulate relevant flight rules. Anyone who uses a skateboard in Mondstadt must abide by these rules. At the same time, existing flight licenses will be graded. Advanced flight licenses allow the use of both the Wings of Wind and flying skateboards, while low-level flight licenses only allow the use of flying skateboards. The difficulty of the exams for the two will also be different."

"Does anyone have any objections to this?" Qin looked up and asked everyone.

Student Kaiya raised his hand and asked, "So for those of us who already have pilot licenses, will they be considered advanced pilot licenses once the new licenses are issued?"

"Those who have a Wind Wings pilot license can directly obtain an advanced pilot license after passing the flying skateboard test."

"I don't have a problem anymore."

"Then I will continue. Regarding the flying skateboards, I think we need to release products of different grades. First, there are civilian skateboards for the market, with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a maximum height of 20 meters. Then there are mid-range skateboards provided to allies, with a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour and a maximum height of 35 meters. Finally, there are skateboards specially provided to the Knights, with a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour and a maximum height of 50 meters. The skateboards that Shen Qin personally gives away are not restricted by this rule, but the premise is that the other party is not an enemy of Mond."

Diluk: "I can accept it, but except for the skateboard given by Shen Qin personally, the other three skateboards need to be recorded in the account book of Dawn Winery."

Shen Qin also nodded in agreement: "That's fine with me too."

"Diluc's request is reasonable. I will write it into the contract." Jean wrote it down on a piece of paper and continued, "Before the flying skateboard is officially announced, I will have the Knights secretly spread the news for publicity. Do you have any opinions on the specific date for the announcement of the flying skateboard?"

"How about announcing it at the Mond Flying Competition?" Shen Qin said, "In fact, I have been planning to participate in the competition with a flying skateboard since the beginning. Since we want to promote it, I think winning the competition with a flying skateboard is the best way to promote it. And by then, there will definitely be people from other countries gathering in Mond, and they will spread the news of the flying skateboard to all parts of Teyvat!"

"Great way to promote!" Diluk looked at Shen Qin with appreciation, "How about you come to our Dawn Winery as a consultant? You have a strong talent for business."

Lisa smiled and said, "I think your alchemy talent is better than your business talent."

"Indeed." Diluk thought about it carefully and did not refute.

"Then the skateboard will be officially announced at the flying competition. But to ensure everything goes well, do we need to let Amber use the flying skateboard to participate in the competition? Her flying talent is the best among us." Qin asked.

"I think Shen Qin is more suitable." Kaiya objected, "If he defeated Amber as an ordinary person using a skateboard and won the final championship, this result would be more convincing than our advertisement."

“Indeed.” Diluk turned into a nodding machine.

"Okay, that's decided. As for Shen Qin's flying skills, I will train him well before the competition starts." Kaiya rubbed his hands and looked at Shen Qin excitedly.

Looking at his expression, Shen Qin knew that he would definitely torture himself in the process, so he asked if someone else could teach him.

"Oh, little cutie, do you really want to spend some time alone with your sister? If you like, it's not impossible."

Lisa PASS!

"I have to prepare for the mass production of the flying skateboard, so I don't have time."

Diluk PASS!

"I'm sorry, Shen Qin. The Knights are quite busy because of the flying competition and the flying skateboard..."

Qin PASS!

In the end, Shen Qin couldn't escape Kaia's clutches. He hugged his shoulders and his hair was ruffled into a bird's nest.

Men’s friendship is really strange. At the beginning, Kaiya was targeting Shen Qin everywhere, but now the relationship between the two is the closest.

"By the way, have we forgotten something important?" Looking at the two people playing around, Lisa spoke a little seriously, "The little cutie is not only the champion of the flying competition, but also the creator of the flying skateboard. He will have more alchemical inventions in the future. With so many halos on him, he is a natural target. How can we ensure his safety? He doesn't have the Eye of God, so he can do nothing when facing the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss."

System, system, give me an invention that can tear apart the laws of nature and resist the abyss? Shen Qin muttered in his mind, but unfortunately he did not get any response from the system.

"I already have a solution for this." Diluk said.

"I also have a part of the credit for this!" Kaiya boasted to Shen Qin.

Diluc: "First, the Knights of Favonius need to confirm Shen Qin's identity as a 'genius alchemist', tell the truth or even exaggerate the facts to promote him, and make him a star in Mondstadt and even the entire Teyvat."

Qin asked doubtfully, "But wouldn't his situation be more dangerous?"

"Ahem." Kaeya cleared his throat and continued, "Then, our Knights forged a development record of the ancient ruins, and finally secretly destroyed all the information. However, some secrets, for various reasons, were left in various corners of Mondstadt..."

"Most people will believe the facts, but those with ill intentions will only fall into the trap we set, thinking they have discovered Mondstadt's secret. Instead, they will not take action against Shen Qin, an 'insignificant' little man 'pushed out' by the Knights."

"At the same time, we must ensure that at all times, there is at least one captain of the Knights to protect Shen Qin in secret."

"How is it?" Kaiya looked at Shen Qin with a smile, "Are you finally relieved now?"

Shen Qin silently gave a thumbs up. People who play tactics have dirty hearts. However, he still declined the Knights' protection. On the one hand, he didn't like his life being watched all the time, and on the other hand, he thought it would be easy to expose himself.

Then everyone discussed some details. Finally, Qin asked Diluk and Shen Qin to stay and said, "For the future of Mondstadt, we must deepen our cooperation..."

Chapter 13 Amber: I have no money!

Hong Yue is a Liyue merchant who specializes in selling children's toys such as windmills, Qun Yu Pavilion models, and Yunjin figures. This time, she came all the way to Mondstadt with two full trucks of goods, just to make a fortune during Mondstadt's annual flying competition.

However, on the way to Mondstadt, a group of Hillbillies camped on the roadside, so she had to take a long detour and did not arrive in Mondstadt until the day before the competition.

"It's over. I'm two days late. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell these two truckloads of toys." Looking at the gate of Mondstadt from afar, she felt a little dejected.

According to her plan, after selling out the two truckloads of toys in Mondstadt, she could bring two more truckloads of Mondstadt's special toys back to Liyue. This way, she would make two fortunes in one trip.

But if we pull the toys from Liyue back, we might even suffer a loss this time.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time!"

Because of the flying competition, Mondstadt has been particularly lively these days, with people coming and going so frequently that one even has to queue up to enter the city.

Hong Yue followed the crowd and slowly moved into the city. She had been to Mond several times, but each time it gave her a different feeling.

If you come here during normal times, it will give you a relaxing and leisurely feeling, as if you can sit there and do nothing and spend the whole day without any guilt.

If you come during the Windblume Festival, you can experience a variety of Mondstadt-style mini-games. Adults and children alike can immerse themselves in these fun activities.

What if it’s a flying competition?

"Fans of Miss Amber, come and gather! Everyone can get a doll of Count Rabbit. It doesn't matter if you are not a fan. We have a brochure about Miss Amber. She is the most agile scout knight in the Knights of Favonius, the champion of the last flying competition, and has the best chance of winning the championship again this year..."

"The great adventurer Stanley is the most likely candidate to win the flying championship. He is a legendary adventurer who once escaped unscathed from the windless Silent Sea. You can imagine how superb his flying skills are..."

"If you ask me, if the red devil participated in the flying competition, it would definitely be the champion!"

"Yes, that day I saw with my own eyes the red devil flying at high speed over the Fruit Wine Lake. That speed is not something the Wind Wings can match!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible that someone can fly without the wings of wind? The Red Demon is probably just a story made up by a parent to trick his children!"

"I suggest that the little prince of the Cat's Tail Tavern participate in the flying competition. Whoever surpasses him will not be allowed to drink the drinks mixed by Miss Diona."

"Haha, who else dares to surpass it? The little prince is mighty! Miss Diona is mighty!"

"Hello everyone! I'm the newcomer participating in the flying competition for the first time, Adventurer Nicola. I hope everyone will support me and cheer for me during my competition!"

"Nikola! Nikola!"

……

As soon as she stepped into Mondstadt, the sounds of shouting and discussion exploded in Hong Yue's ears. She covered her ears and it took her a long time to get used to the noisy sounds.

Mondstadt was like this during the flying competition, warm and full of vitality, just like the special tequila that Diona made with lizard tails and Jueyun peppers. It was extremely spicy at first sip, but you would soon feel the rich fragrance, a fragrance that would still make people savor it many years later.

After struggling to squeeze through the crowd, Hong Yue finally brought the two carts of toys to a relatively empty place in the square. She turned around and was surprised to find that Mond's famous Deer Hunter Restaurant was right next to her.

"Put out your toys and I'll buy you lunch." She instructed a few temporary workers hired in Liyue.

One of the consequences of the surge in traffic is that one has to wait in line for a long time to order food. In front of her were two girls wearing Inazuma-style kimonos.

Isn't Inazuma still locking down the country? Why would there be people from Inazuma coming to Mondstadt?

The long-haired girl sighed, "There are so many people in Mondstadt. Although not as many as in Liyue, there are much more than us Inazuma."

The short-haired girl nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it wasn't this lively even during our festival."

The long-haired girl sighed, a little lonely on her face: "Speaking of festivals, we haven't been back to Inazuma for a long time. I miss home."

"Don't worry, there's no point in going back. The lockdown is getting stricter and stricter. We finally managed to escape, and I don't want to go back!"

Hong Yue understood that they probably escaped when the Inazuma isolation order was first issued, and have never returned since then.

Soon it was her turn and she ordered five estate toasted muffins.

"Okay, five manor-baked muffins." The waitress hurriedly wrote down the customer's order in a notebook with her right hand, and asked the customer to take away the packed dishes with her left hand, maintaining a state of "about to collapse, but not completely collapsed."

Really busy, but I will be busy later too. She shrugged, took the five packed manor baked muffins and left, passing a girl in red at the door.

Did that person look familiar? She turned around, but saw only a dense crowd of people. She had no choice but to put aside her doubts and return to the square.

Shen Qin regretted bringing Keli to the Deer Hunter for dinner.

Because she did not keep her promise with Qin (not going to Fruit Wine Lake to fry fish), Klee was banned from participating in the flying competition, but she did not want to miss the fun, so she dragged Shen Qin around to have fun in Mondstadt.

Since they were out having fun, they naturally had to eat lunch outside, so they came to the Deer Hunter, and then they heard the guests at the next table discussing the "Red Devil".

"I heard that the red devil can fly as fast and high as an eagle, and has great power. Wherever he points his finger, it will explode!"

"That's fake! There is no such thing as a red devil, they are all lies. I have some latest news. I heard that the Knights have developed a new flying tool, and someone will use it to compete in the flying competition!"

"What new flying tool? It's impossible to even think about it. Let's talk about the Red Devil. I'm already a fan of the Red Devil..."

Ke Li listened to their discussion with shining eyes: "Brother Shen Qin, is there really a red devil in the world?"

Shen Qin smiled bitterly: "Maybe."

"Then can Brother Shen Qin take Keli to play with the Red Devil? I really want to go fish frying with the Red Devil!"

Shen Qin: “…”

I can't say that the devil in red is you, right?

"Shen Qin!" Yuanqi's voice sounded beside the dining table.

Amber put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "I heard from Kaia that you want to compete with me using your new flying tool, and you have reserved the championship of the competition?"

Oh? Was he angered by Kaia? This is indeed that guy's bad taste.

According to Shen Qin's personality, he should explain and let Amber go to trouble Kaia, but he didn't do that this time. Instead, he nodded: "Indeed."

The tone and intonation of this sentence are learned from Master Diluk, and it should be that kind of indifferent but firm feeling.

"Hehe, I knew you were a powerful opponent that cannot be ignored!" Amber showed an excited expression on her face, "I will defeat you in the flying competition and let everyone know that I am the flying champion of Mond!"

Shen Qin smiled and said, "How about we make a bet? The loser has to agree to a condition of the winner."

"What are you betting on?" Amber protected her wallet with both hands, looking alert, "I don't have any money!"

Chapter 14: From today on, let the world hear Mond's voice

"Sister Sugar, run faster! The race is about to start!" Klee was biting a lollipop in her mouth, holding a small windmill in her hand, and running very fast with her short legs.

"K, Kelli, slow down..." Sugar was panting and felt like her legs were no longer her own.

Although she possesses the Eye of God and often goes out into the wild, she spends more time in the alchemy laboratory. How can she compare to the energetic Klee?

The upper limit of a child's energy is always a mystery.

Because everyone in the Knights Temperance was busy with the flying competition and Shen Qin also had to prepare for the competition, there was no one to accompany Klee to play in the bustling Mondstadt, so Jyn asked Sucrose to take care of Klee.

So starting from the morning, Sucrose was dragged by Klee to travel around most of Mondstadt, going wherever there was a lot of activity, and spent several thousand Mora.

The place where they are now is the starting point and end point of the flying competition, and it is also the main viewing point. Basically, they can see about 90% of the entire track.

In addition to the main viewing point, the Knights of Favonius also cooperated with the Adventurers' Association to set up nine other viewing points in Mondstadt. However, the scale of those viewing points was not as large as the starting point, and only about 70% to 80% of the entire track could be seen. But even so, each viewing point was still packed with people.

On the outskirts of each viewing spot, stalls have already occupied their seats. Each vendor is busy sweating, but they can't hide the smile on their face. They can earn as much as a month's worth of Mora in a week.

Sucrose finally squeezed next to Klee. She had already occupied a seat in the front row, with the flying competition booth in front of her.

"Sister Sand Sugar, after the competition is over, Klee will introduce Brother Shen Qin to you. He is also a very powerful alchemist!" Klee licked the lollipop happily, shaking her head.

"Okay, okay!" Sandu's voice was a little hesitant. She was very shy by nature, but she couldn't bear to refuse Xiao Keri, so she had to agree first, thinking about running away when the time came.

"Hehe, Brother Shen Qin invented a magical flying skateboard that flies higher and faster than the Wings of Wind. Today he is going to use it to participate in the flying competition and win the championship!"

Sugar said in surprise: "Really? They can actually make a flying tool that's more powerful than the Wind Wings? What on earth is that flying skateboard you're talking about?"

"Well, Klee doesn't know either! She only knows that it's a thing that can fly when stepped on. Brother Shen Qin even drew some beautiful pictures of Dudu Ke on the skateboard and said that he would give it to Klee after the competition!"

After saying this excitedly, Keli became a little disappointed again: "But Captain Qin doesn't allow Keli to participate in the flying competition, otherwise Keli could have competed with Brother Shen Qin today."

While Sucrose was still wondering what a flying skateboard was, someone next to her spoke up:
