People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Shen Qin: No, the reason I succeeded is because I had a system.

At this time, Qin and Lisa, who were already in the manor, greeted Shen Qin one after another, and Diluk announced the start of the cocktail party and asked everyone to be casual.

Kelly and Amber were chasing and playing in the hall. Jyn tried to ask them to quiet down several times, but thinking that today was a rare day to relax, she just let them do what they wanted.

Lisa and Sugar sat together. They seemed to be discussing alchemy and looked in Shen Qin's direction from time to time.

Kaiya was sitting alone in a corner drinking. When he saw Shen Qin looking over, he smiled and waved to greet him.

Eula was originally eating there alone, but was dragged away by Amber to play with Klee.

Shen Qin was listening to soothing music and sitting at the dining table, enjoying this leisurely moment, but he heard a "dispute" next to him.

"Ms. Noelle, don't bother you with these tasks. Just leave them to us."

"How can I do this? I'm a maid of the Knights Templar, and maids are supposed to do these things." The girl said firmly.

"But this is not the Knights Templar, nor is it Mondstadt. You are a guest of the Dawn Winery today," the maid said anxiously.

“Eh? Yes, yes!” Noelle reluctantly handed the dish back to the maid.

The maid said helplessly: "It's already too much to ask you to cook, let us do such a small thing as serving the dishes ourselves."

Noel was idle and actually felt uncomfortable doing nothing. When he saw the empty wine glass in front of Shen Qin, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to pour him a glass of wine.

After pouring the wine, she politely introduced herself to him: "Hello, I am Noelle, a maid of the Knights of Favonius. If you need any help, please feel free to call me!"

"My name is Shen Qin." Shen Qin pointed to the seat next to him, "Ms. Noelle, why don't you sit down and have a rest... and have a drink with me?"

"Ah? Sorry, we maids are not allowed to drink! It will make our thinking dull and reduce our work efficiency!" she answered seriously.

"Hey, Noelle, you finally came out from the kitchen!" Amber suddenly appeared and hugged her neck intimately, "We need help, come and play with us!"

“Eh? Eh——” Noelle was dragged away at a loss.

In the corner of the hall, Diluk was drinking alone. Watching the noisy party, a smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth.

Then something happened that made everyone laugh and cry. Kelly saw that the adults were drinking and she could only drink juice, so she secretly drank some wine and then became drunk and passed out.

It was already past nine in the evening when the cocktail party ended. Everyone had a great time, and Shen Qin was a little drunk and felt dizzy.

It was too dangerous to go back to Mondstadt at night, so everyone simply slept in the Dawn Winery. There were plenty of rooms there anyway.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and Shen Qin fell asleep slowly with a smile on his face.

This is a good night.

Chapter 39: Benny's Adventure Team, set off!

Around two o'clock in the morning, when most creatures sleep the deepest, some creatures hiding in the dark begin to come out to look for food.

The 38th sentry at the Dawn Winery blew three special bird calls, waiting for a response from the 39th sentry, but after half a minute, there was still no movement.

His face changed and he quickly blew five sharper and brighter bird calls to warn the other sentries, but it was too late. A violent explosion in a warehouse near the villa was reflected in his pupils.

The explosion woke up everyone in the villa. Everyone gathered at the gate of the villa, looking at the burning warehouse not far away, and were alert.

Diluk ignored the burning warehouse, turned around and looked at everyone, his eyes changed: "Not good! Shen Qin!"

Kelly was the first one to rush back. When the others arrived at his room, they found that the windows in the room had been corroded by something unknown and the person was gone.

"Brother Shen Qin!" Kelly cried as she rode her flying skateboard out of the window and rose high into the sky to look for his whereabouts. Amber immediately followed.

"Damn it!" Diluk's face was filled with anger, which was rare. He gave orders to the guards who came after hearing the news, "Let everyone go out to look for Shen Qin. Even if we have to search the entire Mondstadt, we must find him!"

Sandang was a little confused. With tears in her eyes, she squatted in front of the window to check the traces left on it, but her tears made it difficult for her to see the scene in front of her clearly.

Lisa also squatted down: "It's not Teyvat's material... The one who took him away is most likely a member of the Abyss Cult!"

Qin's expression was equally unhappy: "We have been a little lax during this period!"

Kaia stepped on his skateboard and flew towards Mondstadt: "I will go back now and tell the Knights to search outside the city immediately!"

Eula and Noelle carefully eliminated the danger in the manor and put out the fire in the warehouse.

……

Regardless of the fact that the people from Chenxi Winery were anxiously looking for Shen Qin, he just woke up slowly at this time.

He was briefly awakened when someone broke into his room, but soon fell into a coma.

After carefully observing his surroundings, he discovered that he was probably inside a building. Many of the bricks on the ground had been broken into pieces, and some of the bricks on the walls had fallen off.

Who the hell did this to me and brought me to this place?

He checked the room and found that the stone door was tightly closed and could not be opened. Only through the holes in the bricks on the wall where the stone bricks had fallen off could he vaguely see a dark passage.

He tried to remove more bricks to enlarge the hole, but the bricks wouldn't budge.

Hey, hey, hey, it doesn't make sense for me to be eliminated like this.

However, although I don’t know who the other party is, since he only captured me and didn’t hurt me, it means that my life is not in danger for the time being.

Shen Qin reviewed the situation in his mind without making any sound.

Every time he saw people in movies and TV shows who shouted "Let me go" after finding themselves locked up, he thought they were a little stupid, as if they were afraid that the enemy didn't know that they were awake.

Besides, even if you ask others to let you go, no one will listen to you.

There was nothing in the empty room except a torch stuck in the wall for lighting. Shen Qin finally set his eyes on the metal base supporting the torch.

He used broken bricks to stand the torch on the ground, then used force to pry open the metal base that was stuck on the wall. He tried left and right, up and down, back and forth, and it took him nearly ten minutes to pull it off the wall.

Then he used the base to pry open the bricks on the other side of the wall. Surprisingly, maybe it was because of its age, but he was able to pry off a brick in about five minutes.

He spent more than half an hour prying off six bricks. Fortunately, he was now a teenager and did not need too much space to get through. He only needed to pry off the last brick...

Then the stone door in the room opened. He turned stiffly, only to see a white-haired boy sneaking in and whispering, "Don't make a sound. I'm here to get you out!"

Bennett! Shen Qin immediately recognized the boy's identity.

"Listen to me, follow me now, I will take you out..."

"Bang!" The stone door behind him closed automatically.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

"It seems that I got this brick for nothing." Shen Qin handed the base to Bennett, "There is only one brick left, you come?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Bennett scratched his head embarrassedly.

Apparently they hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem at that moment. After Bennett pried off the last brick in just two minutes, the entire wall collapsed and half of the unlucky guy's body was crushed under the bricks.

Ah, this... Shen Qin was silent and silently dug out Bennett.

Fortunately, they were able to leave the room after the wall collapsed.

Bennett held a torch and led Shen Qin to explore forward.

"My tent was blown down by the wind, so I got up and set it up again. Then I saw you being led over here by an Abyss Mage. I followed you all the way into the ruins."

"Ruins?" Shen Qin looked around. That's right! With such a structure and such an environment, only the ruins that are everywhere in Teyvat can meet the requirements.

Moreover, the Cult of the Abyss likes to hide in the ruins and cause trouble.

"Hey, I've never been to this ruins, otherwise I could take you out directly. Now I have to take it one step at a time." Bennett sighed.

"By the way, do you know the approximate location of this ruins?"

"Location? It seems to be near Dadaupa Valley."

Shen Qin felt a chill in his heart.

Dadaupa Valley and Dawn Winery are too far apart, and in two completely different directions. It seems that I can't wait for Diluk and the others to rescue me, and I can only rely on myself and Bennett to escape.

"Don't worry, my Benny Adventure Group is also well-known among adventurers. I will definitely take you out successfully."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Bennett. What's yours?"

"Shen Qin."

"Wow! You are the one who invented the flying skateboard and bionic prosthesis? Then I must rescue you!" Bennett said excitedly, "One of our group broke his leg and got a bionic prosthesis some time ago. He said that he will return to my adventure group once he gets used to it. Then there will be two people in my group!"

"Does this mean that you are the only one in your adventure group now?"

Bennett: “…”

Poor kid. Shen Qin sighed and patted his shoulder: "I'll give you a few flying skateboards when you get out. You can use them to recruit people, and you will definitely find someone!"

"Really? That's great! Then I can have my own flying skateboard!"

Shen Qin: ???

Seeing his puzzled look, Bennett scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I am the only one in our group. I can't get any commissions and earn Mora. It's normal that I can't afford such an expensive flying skateboard! The skateboard I'm using now is borrowed from someone, and I have to return it after this commission is over."

Chapter 40: Where did you buy that low-quality one-handed sword?

Shen Qin knew that Bennett was in a miserable situation, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable. He couldn't help but start to worry whether it was appropriate to let him lead the way, especially after thinking about the fate of his former teammates.

The first Bennett victim was Jack. They were only a few steps away from the treasure, but a once-in-a-century rock elemental torrent happened at that moment, tearing a deep canyon between them and the treasure. Although Jack only suffered a few scratches, the close encounter with the treasure left him with a serious mental injury, and it took him a long time to recover.

During an adventure, Royce, a member of Benny's adventure team, was knocked unconscious by a sudden violent explosion in a cave.

Heckler had just joined Benny's Adventure Group when he experienced a week-long bout of diarrhea.

Almost all of his former teammates have suffered various misfortunes due to being close to him.

"How about I lead the way?" Shen Qin felt his voice trembling.

"Have you ever specialized in studying ruins?" Bennett asked curiously.

In fact, the things that alchemists study are quite diverse. Relic research is also a subject that most alchemists have worked on. Things like the history of the ruins, construction techniques, internal structure, etc. are all things that have been deeply explored and studied.

"not at all."

"That's it. Leave the exploration to me..." Bennett stepped on the loose-leaf floor and quickly fell into the pit below. With his sharp eyes, he saw that the bottom of the pit was full of sharp spikes!

He grabbed the flying skateboard and stood on the spikes with his feet on both ends, but it was pierced by two of the spikes.

"Hey!" He jumped up with one hand, not forgetting to take the body of the skateboard with him. "At least I have rich experience in adventures, and I can react in time when I encounter danger."

Then he picked up the skateboard, looked at the two big holes on it, and asked Shen Qin with a sad face: "Can this be repaired?"

"This... I'm afraid it can't be repaired." Shen Qin looked at him with pity.

"So is the skateboard you promised me still valid?"

“It definitely works.”

Shen Qin still felt that it was better to let him lead the way. If he had been the one who fell into the trap just now, it would not be the skateboard that was pierced, but his own body.

The trap was located in the middle of the passage, occupying only half of the width. Both sides were solid floors, and they walked through both sides easily.

They soon came to a fork in the road. Bennett chose to go left, and then Shen Qin forced him to go right.

As we all know, danger can be avoided greatly by making the opposite choice to Bennett.

"Don't question my professionalism. According to my adventurer's sense, the left side is the correct way!" Bennett said unconvinced.

I don't know who in the Adventurer's Association started the rumor that "as long as you do the opposite of Bennett, all adventures will go smoothly", causing everyone to regard him as a signpost in the opposite direction.

But what left him speechless was that this time they actually reached the next fork safely.

"Which way do you want to go?" Shen Qin looked at him with a smile.

Bennett wanted to choose the right side, but he rolled his eyes and lied, "Left!"

"Then let's go to the right!" Shen Qin walked confidently towards the passage on the right.

"Let me explore the way! Let me explore the way!" Bennett ran to the front with a guilty conscience.

Then he stepped on a stone slab, and with a slight "click" sound, hundreds of short arrows shot out from the hidden holes in the four walls.

Bennett quickly pulled Shen Qin back, but a shallow blood mark was still left on his calf.
