People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"Is it possible?" Sugar said happily. She was very interested in anything related to alchemy.

"Of course, I believe that with your knowledge and ability, you will be able to provide great help in my research and development of new alchemical products."

Chapter 19: Amber, actually you are also in our plan!

"Everyone is here! Hahaha..." Amber suddenly broke into the backstage with an awkward expression on her face.

She just saw the head of the Qin group there, and because she was afraid of being scolded, she didn't come over immediately. But then she thought again, if she avoided it today, she couldn't avoid it tomorrow, so she just came over and got scolded, and the matter was over.

"Amber!" Qin was indeed a little angry, but she was not angry because she almost ruined the entire plan, but because she did not take her own safety seriously and caused Shen Qin to get injured.

"Hehe!" She stuck out her tongue and hid behind Lisa who followed her in.

Lisa chuckled: "Qin, you'd better stop scolding her. Why not revoke her pilot's license and let her start over from the beginning."

"Ah?" Amber was horrified and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, Captain Qin, just scold me. I still want to get the flying skateboard as soon as possible!"

"Oh." Qin sighed, feeling a headache for these problem children in the Knights.

"Let me tell you what I gained. Today, there were indeed many bad kids who wanted to attack the little cutie, but they did not escape my eyes. Most of them were rats from the Kingdom of Winter."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lisa." Qin nodded to her.

"So, my little cutie, how are you going to reward me? After all, I reluctantly wasted my beautiful lunch break today, running around for you in Mondstadt, which is full of people." Lisa winked at Shen Qin.

Shen Qin touched his chin and said, "Well...how about I give you a top-notch skateboard?"

"Why is it only Lisa who has it? Don't I have it? I am your dear friend!" Kaiya looked sad.

"Don't waste Shen Qin's money. The skateboards of the Knights will be distributed uniformly, and you don't have to pay for them." Qin looked at Shen Qin and said, "Ke Li's skateboard will be counted as part of the Knights' purchases."

“No need. Consider this a personal gift from Klee. After all, if she hadn’t lent me the alchemy workshop, I wouldn’t have been able to develop the flying skateboard.”

Seeing that he insisted, Qin didn't say much, and then turned her gaze to Diluk: "Although the operating rights of the flying skateboard are in the hands of the Dawn Winery, can you share your plan with us?"

"Of course." Diluk agreed readily. "The flying skateboard store in Mondstadt will open tomorrow. I estimate that people with pilot licenses will come to buy them in a few days. In the first month, I plan to limit the supply of flying skateboards to 300 per day, and then adjust it according to market feedback and the production efficiency of the factory."

"Except for the skateboards provided to the Mond store, I will sell the remaining skateboards to merchants in other countries at market prices. As long as they are outside Mond, I will not interfere with how much they sell them for. They just need to help us open up the market."

"Once the supply and demand for flying skateboards in Mondstadt is balanced, I will cooperate with major forces or government agencies in other regions, give up a portion of the profits, and build factories and specialty stores in their local areas. After deducting the profits that are distributed, we will still distribute the remaining profits in the ratio of 6:3:1."

How cruel! This is Shen Qin's evaluation of this plan.

The flying skateboard, especially the technology of the intelligent system, is exclusively owned by Shen Qin. He can easily monopolize the entire Teyvat market, but even if the three parties cooperate, they do not have the ability to distribute the product worldwide for the time being.

So Diluc took advantage of the profit-seeking instinct of merchants and provided them with skateboards at market prices. In order to make a profit, they had to go to countries outside Mondstadt to sell them at high prices. Moreover, the farther away from Mondstadt, the less likely the locals would come to Mondstadt to buy skateboards at the original price, and they could sell them at a higher price. This is how the market and reputation were established.

When the factories and markets in Mond mature, the three companies will have enough funds to cooperate with local tyrants in other places and reap the markets that have been opened up by businessmen.

Those merchants could only move to the next place without factories and stores to continue to develop the market for flying skateboards. In this way, they expanded from one region to another, and the merchants could only be chased away. When there were factories and stores for flying skateboards all over Teyvat, there was no soil for merchants to survive, and there was only a huge business empire that monopolized the flying skateboard market.

"However, this expansion plan only targets civilian skateboards. The production of mid-range and high-end skateboards is best left under the control of your Knights of Favonius."

In some cases, Diluk can still trust the Knights, especially the Knights under the leadership of Jyn.

Qin didn't have Shen Qin's business sense, but she thought Diluk's plan was reasonable, so she nodded without asking any more questions. She just asked casually, "So how much do you plan to sell a civilian skateboard for?"

"One hundred thousand molas."

"What?!" Shen Qin and Qin exclaimed at the same time.

The material cost of a skateboard does not exceed 10,000 Mora. Even if the labor cost is included, it will never be higher than 20,000 Mora. However, the selling price is more than five times the cost!

"It's worth the money, isn't it?" Diluk seemed to have anticipated their reaction and said calmly, "Pricing it too cheap will reduce the healthy life of the market. Flying skateboards are durable products. I have made plans that every customer will not change their skateboards within five years. The price of 20,000 Mora a year is not too much, right?"

"Indeed." Qin nodded. She was convinced by Diluk.

Shen Qin was not fooled. He grinned and said: This is a real capitalist. He makes money from customers and makes customers feel that their money is worth it!

"Brother Shen Qin, let's go celebrate with Ke Li. You defeated Sister Amber and became the new flying champion!" Ke Li pulled on the corner of Shen Qin's clothes. It was too boring for her to play skateboarding alone, and she couldn't understand what her brothers and sisters were saying.

"Okay, okay." Shen Qin smiled and agreed to the little girl, ready to put aside his work and go play with her.

"Wait!" Amber suddenly called him.

"What's wrong?" He looked at her puzzledly.

"Did you forget something?"

"What's the matter?" Shen Qin thought, "Did I forget to ask you to pay for the medical expenses?"

"No... I'm sorry about what happened before, but." Amber walked up to him and said, "We made a bet on who would win, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise! Tell me, what conditions do you want me to agree to?"

"Any conditions are fine?" Shen Qin looked her up and down.

"Any conditions are fine..." Amber said, hugging her shoulders, her face a little red, "No, it can't be too extreme!"

Shen Qin narrowed his eyes: "This condition... seems to be really excessive. Now that you put it that way, should I propose it?"

"W-what?! Are you really thinking about something excessive?" Amber looked horrified and took a few steps back.

"Alas, the little cutie has learned bad things!" Lisa turned and left. "Boring, so boring, I'd better go back to the library to enjoy my afternoon tea!"

"Amber!" Shen Qin suddenly rushed to Amber and supported her shoulders with his hands.

"What, what are you doing?!" Amber's face began to turn red.

"Please be the spokesperson for the flying skateboard!"

“Eh? Eh!!!!”

"Indeed, as the last flying champion of the Wind Wings era, Amber is the most suitable candidate to be the spokesperson for the flying skateboard. Moreover, Shen Qin will also specially customize a flying skateboard in collaboration with Count Rabbit for the spokesperson~" Kaia said with a smile.

Amber was speechless: "Although I feel like you guys have tricked me, I still can't give up the flying skateboard co-branded with Earl Rabbit!"

Chapter 20: This thing is not afraid of this little bit of wind and snow!

Eric is a paramedic of the Snow Mountain Rescue Team. He lives in a small town at the foot of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain on the Mond side all year round. His daily job is to go to the rescue with his teammates after receiving a call for help from the snow mountain.

The environment of Longji Snow Mountain is harsh, with temperatures remaining at over 20 degrees below zero all year round. In addition, due to snowfall throughout the year, the thickness of the snow layer always remains above one meter. The thick snow covers the unpredictable and dangerous terrain.

Coupled with the frequent blizzards and monsters all over the snow-capped mountains, even adventurers are reluctant to visit the snow-capped mountains under normal circumstances.

However, many people die in the snow-capped mountains every year, and rescue teams have to go out on two or three rescue missions almost every week. Those in distress are often young people who are ignorant of the world and adventurers who take risks for high rewards.

Although everyone has their own destiny, since they have chosen to go into the mountains, they have to bear the risks themselves, but after all, those are human lives. When conditions permit, the rescue team will try their best to rescue people.

That day, the rescue team received another call for help, and Eric took two teammates to the distress site.

"They were at the top of the mountain below. My sister-in-law missed a step and my brother reached out to pull them, but he was also dragged down. Fortunately, he had the Wings of Wind and managed to bring the two of them to the top of the mountain, but now they are trapped."

Eric observed the environment and thought about the possibility of rescue.

They are now next to a cliff, and the trapped people are about 20 meters horizontally and 50 meters vertically from here.

The mountain where the people in distress were located was an isolated peak. Except for a place on the top of the mountain where people could stand, it was surrounded by steep cliffs.

Moreover, there is strong snow and wind in the mountains now. The people in distress were lucky to use the Wings of Wind to land in a safe place. If they were to use the Wings of Wind to escape again, they would be in danger of death.

"The snow and wind are so strong that they block our view. We have no idea if there is a place on the mountain where we can fix the rope. If there are solid rocks or plants, we can find a way to send the rope over and go down directly from there."

"But the key problem now is that we don't know the conditions over there, and we can't take risks with the Wind Wings when the wind is so strong."

"If we wait for the snowstorm to stop, it will take at least two hours. But if they are exposed to the snowstorm like this, it will be difficult for them to survive this period..."

Eric's words made the brother of the victim collapse on the ground, tears streaming down his face in anxiety: "What should I do? It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I was the one who asked them to take the risk. I feel so sorry for them as their big brother..."

The three members of the rescue team also felt very helpless. In all the rescue operations accumulated in the past, about half of the rescues failed. Most of the victims lost their lives before they arrived, and the others were helpless and could only watch the victims slowly die.

"Um...are you sure they are on the top of that mountain?" A somewhat vicissitudes of life voice sounded in my brother's ears.

The elder brother looked up and saw an adventurer with white hair and beard. “Yes, yes, I saw them land on the top of the mountain with my own eyes. The wind and snow were not so strong at that time. I asked them to stay there and not run around, and then I quickly sent out a distress signal.”

"Well, if they stay there, I can save them."

"Really?" The elder brother crawled to the old adventurer and grabbed his trouser legs. "If you have any way, please save them! I beg you!"

Eric also looked at him in surprise: "How are you going to save them? The problem now is that we can't get through at all. The wind is too strong and the Wings of Wind can't be used!"

"I'm very familiar with this area. Even in the snow, I can accurately land on the top of the mountain. I'll bring people down the mountain in two batches later." The old adventurer threw his load into the snow, smiled and stepped on the flying skateboard beside him, "Wings of Wind? That thing is outdated! This thing is not afraid of this little snow!"

As he spoke, he jumped down on his skateboard amid the exclamations of the crowd and plunged steadily into the snow and wind.

Eric exclaimed: "Is that the flying skateboard that has become popular in Mond recently? It can actually ignore the influence of wind and snow?!"

The old adventurer successfully landed on the top of the mountain according to the location he remembered. After looking around, he found two figures hugging each other and lying in the snow.

"Hey! Stop lying there, get up quickly, I'll take you down!"

The two men suddenly raised their heads, their faces covered with ice chips. They thought they would die here today, and they just hugged each other and cried.

"You, are you here to save us?!" the man shouted excitedly. The woman opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll take one person down the mountain first, and come back to rescue the other person in about half an hour. Who will go first?"

The woman shrank back and looked at her husband, but he pushed her out: "Save her first, save her first!"

The old adventurer said no more nonsense, carried the woman on his back, and asked the man to tie her tightly to his back with a rope.

"You better lie down on the ground and don't get blown down the mountain by the wind. I'll come back in half an hour."

The old adventurer glided down the mountain on a skateboard. The wind and snow blowing on his face was very painful, but with the intervention of the stabilization system, the flight of the skateboard was not affected.

Although the maximum flying height of the civilian flying skateboard is only twenty meters, after the height exceeds twenty meters, it still has better gliding ability than the Wing of Wind.

It took them only five minutes to land on the ground. The old adventurer placed the woman, who was in a bad condition, in an abandoned camp at the foot of the mountain and sent out a distress signal before going up the mountain again along the mountain road.

"I have already brought the girl down to the camp at the foot of the mountain. You guys can go down with my stuff. I will go rescue the boy now. See you at the camp at the foot of the mountain."

He plunged into the snow again.

"He actually saved the person!" One of the paramedics widened his eyes in disbelief.

But they did see him jump off the cliff with their own eyes.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we get down the mountain." Eric carried the old adventurer's things on his back.

When they arrived at the camp at the foot of the mountain, other rescue teams were already there. The two trapped young men were actually rescued. When they asked the old adventurer, they were told that he had already left.

Eric and his friends told the others how the old adventurer used the flying skateboard to rescue the people in distress. They were all very surprised. In previous rescue operations, such a harsh rescue environment would have been considered a death sentence for the people in distress.

"Flying skateboard...if we can use it, can we save more people in the future?" Eric murmured to himself. The scene of the old adventurer rushing into the snowstorm twice was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Chapter 21 Bestseller! Flying skateboards have become popular in Mondstadt

An adventurer used a flying skateboard to rescue a group of people trapped on a lonely peak in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain during a snowstorm. The news spread throughout Mondstadt in a short period of time.

After the publicity of the flying competition some time ago, the flying skateboard has been loved by people since its launch, but the high price makes many people discouraged. Only adventurers and some people who are extremely eager to fly are willing to spend 100,000 Mora to buy it.

However, the limited 300 skateboards per day were still in short supply and sold out within half an hour after the store opened. Many people lined up overnight just to get one of the 300 skateboards, and some even offered 200,000 Moraes to those who bought skateboards.

After the snow mountain rescue incident, the market demand for flying skateboards increased threefold, especially among the adventurers of the Adventurer's Association. After learning that it could easily cope with many dangerous terrains, they asked the association to come forward and make a request to Diluk, hoping that a batch of skateboards could be specially allocated for the adventurers.

Diluk urgently increased the production line and promised to provide the Adventurer's Association with an additional 300 skateboards every day.

Nowadays, on the streets of Mondstadt, you can often see people riding skateboards, hovering and flying at low speeds, and people around them often look at them with envy.

Some people have discovered other uses for skateboards, which is to use them to transport goods after turning on the smart follow mode! Some people have tested the upper limit of the skateboard's load-bearing capacity - reaching a terrifying one ton!

At the same time, the Knights' flight training and flight license examinations are in full swing. Everyone in the Knights' order is so busy that they don't know what to do, especially Amber. As the spokesperson for the flying skateboard, she has to travel frequently to various places in Mond to promote it.

Shen Qin sometimes thinks that if it were the information age now, Amber would only need to shoot an advertising video so that people can receive promotions for flying skateboards anytime and anywhere.

However, he still thought of a solution, which is to give five random photos of Amber along with the flying skateboard when customers buy it.

Of course, it’s the kind of healthy and energetic photo.

There are twenty different photos of this kind. If someone wants to collect all twenty, they need to communicate with other customers who have bought skateboards. This will establish an implicit flying skateboard community and even attract some Amber fans' interest in skateboarding.

What a cunning capitalist.

The huge sales of the flying skateboards made the Knights happy and sad. They were happy because the better the skateboards sold, the more profits the Knights would get. They were sad because the Knights only took 10% of the profits, and the bulk of the profits went into the pockets of Chenxi Winery and Shen Qin.

Really, seeing others making money is more painful than losing money yourself.JPG.

Kaeya has expressed his deep regret in front of Shen Qin more than once, wondering why he did not fight for it in the first place, so that the Knights could earn more Mora now.

"Is it my fault?" Shen Qin Xiaoxiong spread his hands.
