People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"Grandma." Jay pulled her hand with encouragement in his eyes.

She finally walked to the square and sang along with the little girl:

Raise your hat and drink your wine.

We'll dance all night long,

We return to the old days,

In this Cecilia moonlight.

Cheers to the knights and the old days,

For those in the magic forest,

Beggars and thieves,

Under this Cecilia-like moonlight. (Original song: Under A Violet Moon)

……

As she sang, she followed the path that people made way for her and came to the dancing girl. In the other girl's surprised gaze, she and the other girl displayed their equally graceful dance moves.

Like two beautiful Cecilia flowers in bloom.

When the song was over, the crowd cheered even more enthusiastically. The dancing girl came up to her and asked in surprise, "Are you Ms. Dorothy?"

"You know me?"

"When I was a child, my parents took me to see your performance! You danced this very dance at that time, and it was so beautiful!" The girl looked at her admiringly, "You still dance beautifully now, but why did you suddenly stop dancing ten years ago?"

"My legs were injured at that time, and I couldn't jump. As for now..." Dorothy looked down at her prosthetic limbs and smiled, "Thanks to the bionic prosthesis!"

Chapter 37: Let’s not go to the cocktail party, let’s go for a fish fry!

In the quiet and deep darkness, the tall throne is looming.

There was no one on the throne, but in front of it, a figure was kneeling on the ground.

"Is there any recent news about the mysterious alchemist in Mondstadt?" A distant and ethereal voice came from the empty throne. It was neither male nor female, neither old nor young, and seemed to be the whispering of an ancient god.

"For more than a month after the flying skateboard was launched, he had not made any moves. But a dozen days ago, he suddenly developed a bionic prosthesis..."

The figure explained the bionic prosthesis to the other person in detail.

"Not a bad alchemical invention. With Teyvat's current alchemical technology, they can develop something like this... Hehe, I'm suddenly a little interested in him."

This invention almost shocked the entire Mond, but it only received a "good" evaluation from the mouth of the Void.

"His inventions may hinder our plans. Should we get rid of him?"

"If you can't even overcome this obstacle, what's the point of having you?"

The figure lowered his head and rested his forehead on the ground, looking extremely terrified.

"Find a chance to send him to my place...I want to talk to him."

"Roger that!"

……

"What? Cocktail party?" Shen Qin looked at Diluk in surprise.

"That's right. As the business of flying skateboards and bionic prostheses grows, Dawn Winery is becoming more and more famous in Mondstadt and its assets are becoming more and more abundant, so I want to hold a cocktail party to celebrate." Diluk handed over an invitation.

"So formal?" Shen Qin took the invitation and saw the Legenfind family emblem on it.

Diluk said calmly, "As friends, we shouldn't be so formal. I'm just worried that you'll miss the time."

"I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to go..." Shen Qin looked at Klee and Sugar who were sitting in a row eating snacks.

"It's okay. I've also invited Miss Klee and Miss Sucrose." Diluk produced two more invitations from somewhere.

It seems that he came prepared.

"Okay, tonight, right? We will attend on time." Shen Qin nodded. Since Master Diluk came to invite him personally, he had no reason to refuse.

After Diluk left, Sucrose said with a bitter face: "The cocktail party is so boring. I might as well stay in the alchemy workshop and do research."

"The cocktail party is so much fun! Klee can eat a lot of delicious food and drink a lot of tasty juice." Klee looked at Sugar in confusion.

"If you have to choose between having fried fish and going to a cocktail party, what would you choose?" Shen Qin asked Ke Li with a smile.

Kelly answered firmly: "Of course it's fried fish!"

"That's the truth. Everyone has things they like and dislike, as well as things they like more."

"Then let's not go to the cocktail party." Keli said seriously, "Let's go fry fish!"

Shen Qin: “…”

granulated sugar:"……"

"Let's not do that. I'm afraid Captain Qin will put me in the confinement room too." Shen Qin gave in.

Shen Qin and his friends went out at around three o'clock in the afternoon. The Dawn Winery was not too far from Mondstadt, and it would only take more than half an hour to get there by flying on a flying skateboard, but they planned to take a leisurely ride along the way.

However, Shen Qin didn't expect that it would take a lot of effort for him to reach the gate of Mond City.

When they passed the square in front of West Wind Cathedral, they met Goodwin and Gloria, who talked to them for a while. Then a large group of people with prosthetic bodies gathered around them and expressed their gratitude to him.

When passing by the Deer Hunters, Miss Sarah gave them a box of wild mushroom chicken skewers, saying that one of her aunts lost her hearing due to an accident in her early years, and thanks to bionic prostheses, she was able to hear again.

When he was walking on the road, an old man actually knelt down to thank him, saying that he had lost his sight and could not walk, and had planned to wait for death in bed, but the bionic prosthesis he invented saved him.

Knights came to help them evacuate the crowd and respectfully protected them all the way out of the city gate. One of the knights said that many of his comrades had returned to normal life with the help of bionic prostheses, and even resumed training, intending to rejoin the Knights Templar.

"To make people's lives better, this is the meaning of alchemy." Shen Qin said with emotion.

His main quest is now almost halfway done, and he can complete it as long as his reputation increases a little.

Sandu looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

Many alchemists learned alchemy for the purpose of making money, and some did so in pursuit of truth and to explore the nature of the world, but Shen Qin's purpose seemed to be different from theirs. Although he also wanted to change the world, the people who benefited the most from his inventions were ordinary people who had nothing to do with him.

She became more determined to follow him.

"Hello, please be careful when crossing the bridge. Don't scare away the pigeons on the bridge." Timmy reminded them while standing at the edge of the bridge.

"Ah! Okay, okay!" Sugar has never been good at communicating with strangers.

"But if the pigeons fly away, they will come back on their own!" Keli tilted her head and looked at him. She often scared the pigeons when she went out of the city, and he would scold her every time.

"Generally speaking, this is the case..." Timmy said softly, but only he could hear the second half of his sentence.

Shen Qin looked at him with pity and sighed imperceptibly.

In fact, he had been waiting on the bridge for the pigeon to deliver a letter from his father, but the truth was, he would never be able to wait because his father had been seriously injured and died during a hunting trip.

Maybe he also realized some problems, but he was just unwilling to accept them.

Shen Qin took Keli around the pigeons on the bridge and walked towards the southwest.

After leaving Mondstadt, Klee finally got rid of the constraints of the flying rules. She controlled her flying skateboard and ran around at the fastest speed. Sucrose followed behind her, sweating profusely, fearing that she would accidentally get into trouble again.

"Klee, you didn't bring a bomb this time, did you?" Sucrose asked Klee.

"Bomb? Klee didn't bring it. Klee only brought the round sunset fruit!" Then she took out a round bomb from her backpack.

granulated sugar:"……"

In the end, with Klee looking sad, Sucrose collected all her bombs.

"We are here to visit someone today. Why do you bring a bomb? Do you want to blow up Master Diluk's Dawn Winery?" Sucrose scolded her with a stern face.

"But what if we meet bad guys on the road? Keli brought the bomb to protect Brother Shen Qin and Sister Shatang." Keli said aggrievedly.

Sucrose sighed: "It would be great if I could protect Klee. How can I let Klee protect me?"

"Okay, but you have to protect Brother Shen Qin too, he can't even beat Ke Li!"

At this moment, all three of them smelled a strong aroma of meat.

"Why does it smell so good?" Shen Qin wondered.

"We are almost at Qingquan Town." Sugar explained, "The barbecued steaks in Qingquan Town are a famous dish in Mondstadt. Many people go to Qingquan Town to eat fresh barbecued steaks every day."

"Yes, the barbecue steak is delicious!" Keli wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and looked at Shen Qin expectantly: "Let's go to Qingquan Town to eat barbecue steak!"

Looking at the little girl's expectant expression, Shen Qin nodded. Not only her, but even he wanted to taste the delicious barbecue steak in Qingquan Town after smelling it.

Chapter 38 A Beautiful Night

"Oh, Keli ate too much. She won't be able to eat anything at the cocktail party later." Keli came out of Qingquan Town, touching her round belly, with a melancholy look on her face.

"Don't worry, it's not even five o'clock yet. When we get to Chenxi Winery, you'll have enough food to eat again." Shen Qin said with a smile.

Even he himself ate a few more pieces of barbecued steak because they were delicious, and now his stomach was already nine-tenths full.

In order to digest the food, they no longer used skateboards, but walked leisurely on their feet.

Breathing the fresh air of the wild, feeling the gentle breeze, and having someone around to enjoy this comfortable moment together, Shen Qin felt that this was the Teyvat he had imagined.

If he didn't have the system and was just an ordinary person, he might choose to enjoy this peaceful life in Mond.

Ordinary people can live a good life in Teyvat without having to worry about troublesome things like the Abyss, the Fatui, forbidden knowledge, and the law of nature.

"Wow! So many grapes!" Kelly suddenly exclaimed.

They have now arrived near the Dawn Winery. In the center of the vineyard is a huge manor. The tall manor building stands on the land, demonstrating the style of the Leggenfend family.

Shen Qin nodded with satisfaction: Very good, it fits my imagination of a big house for nobles.

"Wow! What a big house!" Klee shouted, stepped on the flying skateboard and flew towards the manor.

"Hey! Klee!" Sucrose stretched out her hand and called her, but when she saw her flying away, she sighed helplessly.

"Let her be." Shen Qin and Shatang slowly walked through the vineyard and came to the gate of the manor.

"Shen Qin! Tang!" Amber waved to them with a smile. Standing opposite and chatting with her was a woman with short light blue hair, tall figure and elegant posture.

The short-haired woman took the initiative to walk towards them and introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Shen Qin, I am the captain of the guerrilla squad of the Knights of Favonius, the Wave Knight Eula Lawrence."

"Hello, Miss Eula, I've long heard of you." Shen Qin nodded with a smile.

As expected of Eula, when Shen Qin saw her for the first time, he actually felt his heart beat for a moment. In his heart, she has always been the one with the best appearance, the best figure and the best temperament among all the characters in Mond.

"Hello, Miss Eula." Sucrose responded weakly. Although they were both members of the Knights, Eula's aura was too strong, which always made her feel a little scared. In addition, she once helped Eula make a reconnaissance device, but it exploded during use, exposing Eula's whereabouts. Since then, she has always been afraid of being retaliated by the "grudge" Eula.

Eula said helplessly: "Ms. Sugar, you don't have to be so scared every time you see me. We are companions, and I won't attack you."

"I know, I know."

You obviously didn't listen!

Youla looked at Shen Qin and said, "The flying skateboard you invented is very useful. Now the mobility of our guerrilla team has been improved by several levels. It's all thanks to you. Thank you very much!"

"Um... do you want to say that line?" Shen Qin started to act stupid.

"Pfft!" Amber laughed out loud, and even Sugar turned her back and laughed secretly.

Youla looked at Shen Qin with a dark face and gritted her teeth, "You really have heard a lot about me. I will remember this grudge!"

Shen Qin looked very satisfied. This feeling was right!

"Hey, my best friend, you're finally here!" Kaiya walked over slowly, holding a plate of snacks in his hand and eating.

Shen Qin was surprised and asked, "Diluk actually invited you?"

"Is there something wrong? After all, he and I are also..."

"I didn't invite someone. Someone came here shamelessly to eat and drink for free." Diluk walked out of the manor and came to Shen Qin. "Now that everyone is here, let's go inside the manor. The cocktail party will start soon."

As soon as he entered the house, Shen Qin was shocked by the luxurious decoration inside. There were luxurious-looking patterns on the walls, and some very abstract oil paintings hung on them. There were also crystal chandeliers, carpets, solid wood furniture... Everything about it looked like something Shen Qin could not afford.

"With your current assets, building a similar manor is not a problem." Looking at Shen Qin's expression, Diluk said lightly.

"No need. The place I live in now is pretty good. I'm used to it."

Diluk nodded. "Focus on alchemy. Perhaps that's why you can succeed."
