People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

“Is that so?” Sugar lowered her head, thinking about his words, “So it’s not because I’m inadequate, but because I’m not good at it? But, but…”

But I want to stay with you forever and be your alchemy assistant.

But she naturally wouldn't say such words.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. Since you want to go to the library to read, let's go to the library. I can also check if there are any bugs in the library management system." Shen Qin touched her head as if he was touching Klee, then turned and walked towards the library.

He didn't notice that Sandu's face had turned red as she lowered her head, and circles were rolling in her eyes.

He touched my head, he touched my head!

If she wasn't on the street now, she would have been lying on the bed, hugging her pillow and rolling around excitedly.

"Hey, why are you standing there? Don't be discouraged. I told you that your alchemy skills are also very powerful!"

"Come on, come on!"

Sato's emotions didn't calm down until she arrived at the library. She was a little worried about meeting Lisa. That person had sharp eyes and she was afraid that her thoughts would be seen through.

Fortunately, Miss Lisa was not in the library, which made her feel greatly relieved.

"Eh? Don't you know? Miss Lisa went to the ruins of old Mondstadt with the investigation team. Also traveling with her were Miss Amber, Mr. Albedo, and Miss Rosaria. It seems they won't be back for a few days." The temporary librarian Noelle explained to them.

Shen Qin suddenly realized: "I see, Rosalia did tell me about the investigation team, but I didn't ask who went there."

"I have been in the alchemy workshop these days and have not been to the Knights... Hmm, as an alchemist of the Knights, am I a little derelict in my duty..."

"Klee doesn't know! They actually ran out to play secretly without Klee's knowledge!" Klee widened her eyes in surprise.

Shen Qin: "The captain Qin and Aunt Lisa, whom you fear the most, are also going together. Do you still want to go with them?"

"No, absolutely not." Keli shook her head decisively, and then punched Shen Qin, "It's Sister Lisa! If Brother Shen Qin shouts the wrong thing, she will punish him with terrible lightning magic! Keli shouted the wrong thing once before, and then, then something terrible happened!"

She looked a little terrified. It seemed that Lisa had done something to leave her with a psychological trauma!

Noelle asked doubtfully, "Is Miss Lisa so scary? In my impression, she has always had a good temper and is very knowledgeable. When I was preparing for the test to become a formal knight, I asked her a lot of questions."

"Well, normally she has a good temper, except at certain special times, such as before breakfast, during lunch break and after dinner. By the way, if the book is not returned by the deadline, her temper will become very bad." Shen Qin taught them survival skills when facing Lisa.

"So, that's how it is!" Sugar suddenly realized, "I was in a hurry to do an alchemy experiment once, so I went to the library to borrow an alchemy notebook. Then I called Miss Lisa, who was taking a lunch break, to help me register. I started to feel uneasy from then on, and it lasted for the whole day. So she was targeting me?"

Hiss——Shen Qin took a breath and looked at her with admiration. She actually dared to stroke Lisa's whiskers. This woman was so strong!

Sandang patted her chest in fear and said, "I'm really lucky that she doesn't hold a grudge against me!"

“Is it really that exaggerated?” Noelle covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. “I can’t imagine it at all…”

Sugar: "But as long as you don't make Miss Lisa angry, she is a very perfect person, kind, gentle, and very considerate..."

Yes, and he even called her a little cutie. Shen Qin complained silently in his heart.

The girls were chatting happily, and Sucrose forgot to look for the Alchemy Notes to read. Shen Qin took advantage of the fact that no one was borrowing or returning books and went to the terminal to look for bugs. The result made him very satisfied. Although the library management system was the first intelligent system he wrote and the code was poorly written, there was no problem in its operation.

When a piece of code works properly, no matter how bad it is, don't modify it with the purpose of optimizing it.

Bugs that can run are also an important part of the code. If the bugs are optimized, the results may be worse than not optimizing them - that means new bugs will appear.

At this moment, Shen Qin noticed that the door of the library was open. A familiar-looking crow flew in and circled the library, then returned to the door and made a human voice: "Miss, please come in. Miss Lisa is not here."

"Hahaha! The librarian witch, who possesses the treasure trove of cosmic knowledge, chose to give this piece of starry sky to the princess because she anticipated the arrival of the princess?" A strange voice came from outside the door.

Crow looked at the confused crowd and said, "What the lady meant was that she forgot the deadline for returning the book. Fortunately, Miss Lisa was not here, so she was spared a lecture."

Chapter 59: I am the True Eye of the Evil King born from the pitch-black flames

Fischl walked into the library with a heartless pace. Seeing everyone staring at her, her face turned red for a moment, but she immediately cleared her throat, closed her eyes, and put on a proud look: "Ahem! I am the Princess of Judgment, my real name is Fischl. I feel the flow of fate today, so I have come to move the galaxy and accept your audience."

Oz: "Miss said she was glad to see you."

Shen Qin and the other three stared at her blankly without any response. For a moment, the library fell into silence.

As if she felt the embarrassment at the moment, Fischl's face became redder and redder. She opened one eye to see the reactions of the crowd, then immediately closed it again and said haltingly, "No, I didn't expect that my fame would not be revealed in this world. It's my... my negligence. I should soon be able to show my might in this world!"

Oz: "Miss means that she would be embarrassed if you guys didn't talk."

"Ah! Hello, Miss Fischl, and Mr. Talking Crow!" Noel reacted and immediately saluted them politely.

Fischl finally exhaled: "Oz."

"What?" the maid asked in confusion.

"Oswald Hefner Vanins, this is my princess's family member. Calling him 'Mr. Talking Crow' is too rude."

Oz: "You can call me Oz."

"Wow! Princess Fischl of Conviction and her retainer Mr. Oz, are you the characters in 'The Night Tales of Princess Fischl'?" Klee suddenly ran over and looked at her with admiration.

"Of course! Princess Fischl's Night Tales is a true biography written by the Grand Historian with my permission. It was passed down to this world so that people can know my true self."

Fischl, who gained Klee's admiration, began to become arrogant.

"So Princess Fischl's Night Tales is a true biography? I always thought it was just a fantasy novel! Miss Fischl must be amazing to have her own biography!" said the naive Noelle excitedly. "If she is willing to guide me, can I pass the assessment to become a formal knight?"

Sucrose was too reserved to speak, which made it difficult for her to communicate normally with strangers, let alone talk to Fischl, who had the attributes of a social cow.

However, she had indeed read the book "The Night Tales of Princess Fischl" in the library, and knew that there was a person like Fischl in Mondstadt, but she had never connected the two.

The fantasy world in the novel is very interesting, but the real Miss Fischl... She could only say that this was someone she didn't dare to have too much contact with. After all, silence like just now was really embarrassing, and she didn't know how to respond to the Princess of Judgment.

Would Shen Qin find such a person strange? She turned her head to look at him curiously, but saw him covering his right eye and walking towards Fischl step by step.

"Heh - so you are the Princess of Judgment? I finally found you!"

Sugar: Eh? ? ? ! ! ! What’s going on?

"You, who are you!" Fischl took a step back and looked at him in horror.

"Listen carefully!" Shen Qin stood with his legs spread wide apart, one hand covering his right eye, the other hand pointing high to the sky, "I am the True Eye of the Evil King born from the pitch-black flames, and I came to this world to find the 'invisible boundary'!"

"Really? So you're after something as illusory as the 'Invisible Boundary'. What a pity..." Fischl naturally continued his words, "Then why do you want to find me? Do you want to challenge my supreme authority, or follow the thread of fate and hope to get my guidance?"

Oz: “…”

granulated sugar:"……"

“Hey, Brother Shen Qin is so awesome!” Keli ran to Shen Qin again and imitated him, “I am a Bouncing Bomb User from the Knights’ Confinement Room. I came to this world to defeat Captain Qin, the Devil!”

Noelle: “…”

"Ahem." Shen Qin was a little ashamed and was about to put down his right hand that was covering his right eye.

Chuunibyou! He is very familiar with it. Who hasn't had it in their youth? They all think they are the chosen ones, shouldering the responsibility of saving the world. When they grow up, they will be so embarrassed when they think back to their previous chuunibyou appearance.

"Stop! Evil King's True Eye User, are you going to release your Evil King's True Eye here? There are innocent people here, do you want to disregard other people's lives?" Fischl stopped him.

Shen Qin: “…”

But seeing her serious expression, he still cooperated and said: "Princess of Judgment, I have completely mastered the power of the Evil King's True Eye, you don't have to worry."

Keri: “Amazing!”

“I see!” Fischl breathed a sigh of relief and touched her left eye. “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful! Even this princess cannot fully control the Eye of Judgment, so she had to seal it up.”

Shen Qin: "I see. I didn't expect that the Princess of Judgment, who was so decisive in killing, could have such compassion!"

Sucrose: Eh? So far, has Ms. Fischl become so outrageous that she has become a god?

"Of course! This princess will travel the stars, walk through many worlds, understand the fate of the multiverse, and read the apocalypse of all souls. You may go away. If you are trapped by many lifetimes, you may call me by my real name - Fischl!"

Oz: "Miss said she is going to read a novel. If you need help in the future, you can always find her."

After watching the princess return the old book and then excitedly run off to read the new novel, Sugar sighed, "Although I don't quite understand what she said, she doesn't seem to be a bad person."

"Yeah! Sister Fischl is so awesome. It's all written in the book 'Princess Fischl's Night Tales'. She defeated the big bad guy who wanted to destroy the world and protected everyone!" Klee said excitedly.

"I've seen it too." Sugar touched her head.

Noelle was still confused: "Oh - I really want to be as good as Ms. Fischl."

At this time, other readers came to the library, and it would be impolite for them to chat casually.

The maid sat obediently behind the terminal - even though she didn't need to operate it at all.

What if someone comes to borrow books for the first time and doesn't know how to use it? What if someone doesn't operate it properly when borrowing books and doesn't enter it into the system? ——The extremely responsible Noelle thought so.

Klee happily went to find Fischl to read novels together, although Shen Qin thought that children's fairy tales would be more suitable for her.

Sucrose never forgot her original intention and went to the alchemy area where almost no one went to look for the alchemy notes.

Shen Qin also found a few novels in the novel section. They were more like traditional published novels on Earth, rather than the online novels that appeared in the new century.

Although the plot rhythm is not as brisk as that of online novels, these novels full of the charm of another world still make him unable to stop reading.

It was not until Kelly came over and said she was hungry that he realized it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Chapter 60: Is it popular among you to meet people in the middle of the night in winter?

After the Deer Hunter finished her dinner, Klee returned to the Knights Temperance with the storybook she had just borrowed, while Shen Qin and Sucrose walked towards the alchemy workshop.

"When I was reading the alchemy notes of those alchemy masters this afternoon, I suddenly realized that the alchemy they created hundreds of years ago is still not outdated today. Does this mean that the entire alchemy system of Teyvat has not made much progress over the years?" Sucrose said somewhat depressed.

Hearing her words, the first thing that flashed through Shen Qin's mind was the two industrial revolutions on Earth. Since the first industrial revolution, the development of science and technology on Earth seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button, and new technologies emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Just before he came to Teyvat, its speed had not slowed down.

So why is the direction of Teyvat's alchemical system completely different from the technological development on Earth?

He pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "In fact, you have misunderstood one fact, that is, Tewat's alchemy system is not in the development stage, but has been reviving the Kanreya alchemy system from five hundred years ago. Development is from backward to advanced, while revival is from less to more, so the alchemy that was revived first is still the most advanced alchemy."

"Is that so?" Sugar's eyes lit up and she murmured to herself. She had never thought about this question before.

"Then let me test you again, why until now, the country with the most advanced alchemy system is still Kanreya, rather than the seven countries ruled by the Seven Gods?" Shen Qin became interested.

"This... is it because of God?" Sugar made a bold guess and covered her mouth in panic.

Shen Qin didn't care and said calmly: "That's right, the elemental force represented by gods and alchemy represented by humans are two conflicting systems. It is precisely because Kanreya does not believe in any gods that its alchemy system can develop rapidly. Its demise in the past was also partly due to its developed alchemy system. The reason why Teyvat's alchemy system cannot be further developed is that it is suppressed by the elemental force system."

"Haha, Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable. You can come up with such a shocking view. You are indeed the most talented alchemist in the past six months!"

"Who!" Sandang immediately became very alert, protecting Shen Qin behind him, and the Eye of God on his neck emitted a light blue light. Shen Qin also immediately activated the defense function of the smart bracelet.

"Oh, oh, oh - don't be nervous, I mean no harm." A masked man in black walked out from the shadows of the alley. He raised his hands and stopped five meters away from them. "I just want to say a few words to Mr. Shen Qin, is that okay?"

"I'll say it again, please leave immediately, otherwise you won't be able to leave when the Knights arrive." Sucrose remained unmoved and continued to warn the other party.

She would never allow Shen Qin to be in any danger.

"Can you represent Mr. Shen Qin? What right do you have to make decisions for him?" The masked man sneered at Shatang, then looked at Shen Qin, "Mr. Shen Qin, would you like to have a few words?"

Shen Qin frowned. The tone of this man's speech was indeed annoying, but this attitude reminded him of a notorious organization in Teyvat - the Fatui.

So he asked, "People from the Kingdom of Winter?"

"Smart." The masked man clapped his hands lightly. "I am indeed from the Kingdom of Winter. This time I would like to invite you to the Kingdom of Winter to serve the Ice Queen. How about it? Consider it."

"Shen Qin, ignore them, they must have some conspiracy against you!" Shatang was worried that Shen Qin was being cheated.

"you……"

Seeing that the masked man was about to say something to Shatang again, Shen Qin interrupted him neatly: "Shut up! If you still have this attitude, I will turn around and leave immediately."

"Alright." The masked man shrugged and spread his hands. "You are an honored guest, so I must respect your opinion."

Shen Qin looked up at the starry night sky and said speechlessly: "Since you treat me as a distinguished guest, why do you want to meet me in the middle of the night? Is this your way of entertaining guests? Or is this a popular way in winter?"

"Well, I'm just saying hello in advance so you have time to think about it. An official envoy will invite you to meet him in a while. You don't have to worry about us doing anything shady. At least with the current level of protection the Knights are giving you, we still can't do anything to you." The masked man looked at Sucrose and Klee, who were standing in front and behind him, and smiled. "Then I won't disturb you from enjoying a beautiful night. Goodbye, Mr. Shen Qin."

The masked man left so cleanly and neatly. Perhaps it was just like he said, he just came to say hello in advance.

"Sugar, do you know what protection the Knights have in place for me?" Shen Qin was a little concerned about the masked man's last few words.

Sand Sugar stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, there was no special arrangement. It was just that after you made the smart bracelet, Captain Jean told me and Klee to be more cautious when we were with you."

Shen Qin nodded and said nothing more.

After returning to the alchemy workshop, he lay on the bed and thought about it, and felt that this was not a solution.

Does it mean that every time I’m attacked, I can only turn on the shield and escape using the flying skateboard, or wait for the Knights to rescue me?

This is really too passive!
