People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

I'm really tired.

More than an hour later, Shen Qin woke up slowly and saw Albedo's message on his bracelet - the design and coding of the earth vein connection module has been completed, please check it. Sucrose and Klee have returned, [Attached] the latest information on the Wolf Territory.

Did Sugar and the others solve the problem of Benlang Territory so quickly?

Shen Qin first opened the information in the attachment. After reading it, he sighed that Tang had grown a lot. Not only did he take the lead in solving the wolf problem, he also creatively proposed a plan to establish a protected area. The mission was completed more perfectly than he expected.

However, the beast girl mentioned in the intelligence did arouse some interest in him.

"Well... Academy City has been planning to open a school in the near future. We can let her enroll and see the effect. Starting from scratch to get in touch with and understand human civilization should improve her situation."

He didn't pay much attention to her and turned to look at Albedo's research results.

There are no major problems with Albedo's design and coding in general, but there are still some minor flaws. After Shen Qin fixed the flaws, he was quite happy in his heart - he still has a place to put his skills to use!

"Ginger is still spicy with age!"

Next, he redesigned a commercially available personal terminal bracelet based on the smart bracelet. The bracelet has built-in energy modules, terminal and intelligent system modules, and ground connection modules, and has discarded the chaos core energy structure and energy shield module of the smart bracelet.

After the design drawings were completed, he sent them to Timaus through the terminal and asked him to make a prototype according to the drawings. Then he would write the code and test the system. If there were no problems, he could directly build an automated production line for mass production.

Diluk has been looking forward to such a civilian product for a long time. The previous engineering machinery was aimed at a specific customer group and could not allow most ordinary people to feel the charm of Academy City's high-tech products. But after the launch of personal terminals, Academy City's reputation and brand value will increase significantly.

"If Diluc knew that the design of the personal terminal was complete, he would be very happy. He said that he would come to supervise me in person tomorrow and asked me to hurry up and finalize it... Forget it, I'll notify him after the sample is ready."

Shen Qin stretched, looked at the sky outside the window which was about to darken, and decided to finish today's work and go find Albedo and the others. Lisa happened to be there too, and he just wanted to talk to her about something.

The biology research laboratory was on the lower floor. Shen Qin took the elevator downstairs and saw a group of people talking and laughing around a little girl with long red hair.

Before he could say anything, he saw the little girl running over barefoot and hugging him, rubbing her face against his chest.

Shen Qin:?

Chapter 146 Lisa, You Should Reflect on Yourself

No, who is this? Diluk's illegitimate daughter?

Shen Qin was held in the arms of a strange girl with a confused look on his face, not daring to move.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Sugar chuckled and explained to him, "This is the little girl we brought back from the Wolfpack. Albedo just gave her some 'treatment', but she still retains some of her... instincts. She uses this special method to remember a person's scent."

Sure enough, the girl just rubbed him a few times, then ran back over there, holding Lisa's legs and looking at him curiously.

Her eyes were pure and clean, like a little deer, which made Shen Qin's heart tremble.

"This instinct is too outrageous. Can't it be cured?" Shen Qin complained.

Albedo shook his head: "That's not treatment, that's transformation. There's no need for that. This innate instinct can be suppressed through learning and education. It's not a big problem."

"You are the expert, you have the final say." Shen Qin walked forward and couldn't help but touch her head again. She seemed to be able to feel his kindness. She stood there and let him touch her, and even squinted her eyes in comfort.

Really just like kittens and puppies.

"My dear, do you remember when was the last time you saw me?"

Lisa's resentful voice rang in Shen Qin's ears. He paused for a moment, then said to her seriously, "Lisa, you should reflect on yourself."

Lisa: ?

"What is the purpose of building a library management system for you? It is to allow you to have more free time to have afternoon tea at Deer Hunter or go out of the city to appreciate the nature. Now there is a special shuttle bus between Mondstadt and Academy City. Why don't you come to Academy City for a stroll when you have nothing to do?"

"Don't stay in the library all day long. Go out more often and enjoy life... Ouch!"

Lisa pulled his ear with one hand. It seemed that she didn't use much force, but the weak electric current kept hitting his ear: "Reflection, right? I asked you to reflect!"

Shen Qin's ears felt like they were being constantly hit by sparks from a lighter. It hurt a little at first, but after a few seconds it actually felt a little comfortable, as if some of the fatigue in his body had been removed. Could this be electrotherapy?

So he leaned his other ear over and asked, "Come over here, too?"

Everyone: "..."

Lisa gave him a glare in anger and let go of her hand: "Get lost~"

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked towards the cafeteria of the research base. On the way, the girl wanted to get close to people when she saw them, but luckily she was stopped by Sucrose and Amber.

Shen Qin and Lisa talked about Academy City's plan to open a school and wanted her to come to the school to serve as the principal and teacher.

"My dear, I support your idea very much. It can enable more people to receive education and cultivate talents for Academy City. But I finally found a leisurely job as a librarian just to stop myself from being busy! And how can I explain my coming here to the Knights? Jean will not let me go easily!"

Lisa said reluctantly that she had already entered retirement mode and would try her best to avoid all kinds of troubles.

Shen Qin naturally anticipated her reaction and said with a smile: "Principal is just an honorary title. You can find an agent to handle your daily work for you. Teaching work is just a few open classes a week, which is much more free than you having to report to the library on time every day."

"Don't worry about Jean. We will help the Knights train talents in various fields in exchange. Besides, you are not leaving the Knights directly, but retaining your status as a knight like Albedo and Sucrose. Jean will definitely agree."

"Honorary title? Tell me, what do you like about me?" Lisa was keenly aware that he must have other intentions, otherwise he would not have let her come to the school to be a highly symbolic mascot.

Seeing that she had seen through his intentions, Shen Qin chuckled and said, "I'm attracted to your...connections in the School of Teaching. You know, if you want to open a school, the most important things are funding, knowledge, and teachers. The school is a key project of Academy City, so funding will definitely not be a problem."

"As for knowledge, we have official support from Mondstadt, Liyue, and Solstice, so we can rest assured."

"Then we only have the last teacher left. My idea is to recruit people from Xumi's Teaching Academy and hire those thoughtful, talented, and uncorrupted scholars to join us at high salaries."

"Academy City can provide them with venues, funding, and technical support for their research, and they only need to spend a tiny bit of time teaching students. Do you think such conditions are attractive to them?"

"And you can play a key role in the process of recruiting talents. The reputation of 'the genius witch that appears once in two hundred years in the Ordinance Court' can attract scholars' interest in us. You can also use your connections there to identify which scholars are worth recruiting."

"How about it? Come and help me! Let's build a palace of knowledge greater than the Church! At that time, except for some knowledge that cannot be made public, all seekers of knowledge can learn what they want to learn here, and leave their new knowledge behind to provide a ladder for future generations to progress!"

Shen Qin's bold words made Lisa a little dazed. Although she had decided to lie down long ago, his words still aroused her desire for knowledge when she first learned alchemy.

"My little cutie, you really are...good at bewitching people!" She began to waver.

"Please think about it carefully. I will wait for your reply."

After dinner, Lisa returned to her room with a heavy heart. Sucrose, Amber and Klee took Beast Girl out for a stroll and tried to teach her some common sense.

For example, you should wear clothes when you go outside and don’t expose certain parts of your body.

Or you should use your eyes to remember and identify a person. You cannot hug and rub against someone as soon as you meet them, as this will cause trouble for others.

However, their teaching did not seem to work. The girl thought they were playing with her, and in the end they just played happily there.

Albedo introduced her situation to Shen Qin.

"I found unnatural genes in her body. There were also injection holes and surgical marks on her body. There were marks on her limbs from long-term confinement. It is basically certain that she has been subjected to extremely painful human experiments."

"But I analyzed the information hidden deeper in her genes and found that she was born with a genetic defect. Normally, she would die at birth. But that unnatural gene made up for this defect imperfectly, allowing her to survive. However, the price she paid was that her mind leaned towards that of a beast, making it difficult for her to grow. Now she is only at the level of a three or four-year-old."

"The person who implanted the unnatural gene into her may want to save her, or may simply want to conduct human experiments on her. We don't know now. Now I have temporarily isolated her previous dark memories, leaving her in a newborn state. Her personality and memories can be reshaped. When the reshaped memories are strong enough, the dark memories will awaken."

Shen Qin: "Can't you just erase the dark memories?"

Albedo smiled and said, "Who am I to erase other people's memories without their permission?"

Chapter 147: Welcome the arrival of the terminal network era!

Lisa and Amber returned to Mondstadt, bringing with them a report written by Sucrose on the establishment of the Wolf Territory Reserve.

The girl stayed in Academy City and was temporarily taken care of and educated by Shen Qin, Albedo and Sucrose, and Klee often came to play with her.

But she had to have a name, so Shen Qin looked at her red hair, red eyes and petite body, and with a sense of humor, he chose "Shana" as her new name.

At first she didn't understand the meaning of the word Shana, but after calling it for a few days, she knew that Shana was referring to herself.

"Xana, be quiet for a while. I'm running out of strength." Shen Qin blocked her face with one hand and pushed her shoulder with the other to stop her from climbing on him, but she still thought he was playing with her. She climbed even harder while giggling.

She was very strong, and although she restrained herself when playing, it was still difficult for Shen Qin to deal with her.

Diluk sat nearby feeling somewhat helpless.

When he first met Shana, she hugged him tightly. He was shocked when he saw her hair and eye color, and thought she was her father's illegitimate daughter. Later, after Shen Qin's explanation, he understood what was going on.

Today he came to discuss the launch of the terminal bracelet with Shen Qin, but Shen Qin happened to be with her, and she made it impossible to talk about business.

He had no choice but to call Albedo and now was waiting for someone to come and take her away.

Albedo came quickly and greeted her. She threw herself into his arms and was carried away.

"Huh——" Shen Qin straightened his clothes, exhaled, and his body was covered in sweat.

It seems that they need to arrange someone to take care of her, otherwise it will be inconvenient for them to work with her.

But the people who possess the God's Eye are not available, and ordinary people are not suitable for it either. Her extraordinary strength is not something that ordinary people can withstand. It would be troublesome if something unexpected happened.

Or make a mechanical pet specifically for her? But ordinary mechanical pets can be easily disassembled into parts by her!

"You should exercise." Diluk interrupted his thoughts.

Shen Qin said angrily: "Why do you all say that? Is my health so bad?"

"You can't say it's bad, you can only say it's fake."

"..." Shen Qin was speechless, you might as well say that I am in poor health.

Diluk didn't wait for him to retort and brought the topic back to business: "Mondstadt and Liyue are both ready, but Zhidong is still unwilling to open their network to us and plans to entertain themselves."

Shen Qin didn't really care about Zhidong setting up a wall on the terminal network. He just thought that the Fatui were quite powerful, as they could actually cut off the flow of information in the earth veins.

"Then just ignore them, as long as they don't affect the sales of the terminal bracelet in Zhidong."

Diluk continued, "Then the press conference will be held tomorrow morning, and we will start the promotion work today."

"no problem."

Diluk hurried away to arrange his work, and Shen Qin also began to prepare for tomorrow's press conference.

After he gave the blueprint to Timaus that day, he got the terminal bracelet sample the next day. After the writing system test was successful, he immediately led the team to make an automated production line. Now the stock of bracelets has reached 100,000, and the number is increasing by 20,000 per day. After passing the quality inspection from the production line, they are immediately sent to the warehouses of various specialty stores.

Academy City has opened a total of twenty-five specialty stores in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Solstice, and they will be the main force in the sales of this bracelet.

Once the bracelet becomes truly popular in the three countries, Shen Qin can launch a series of business projects, such as e-commerce, food delivery, express delivery, audio-visual entertainment, etc.

People of Teyvat, come and welcome the arrival of the terminal network era!

By then, the people of Mondstadt can listen to Mr. Yun’s plays and drink the water of life of winter in their homes in Mondstadt, and then introduce Mondstadt’s idol Barbara to the netizens in Liyue!

Or he could start the era of online literature, and after liberating Inazuma, he could use Liyue's martial arts and Mondstadt's fairy tales to overwhelm Yaedou's traditional light novels, and let Miss Fox beg him to let Yaedou join the online literature family...

No! He would definitely be beaten to death by Lord Yae! She would definitely come to settle accounts with him along the network cable... no, the ground vein!

Shen Qin wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and put this bold idea behind his mind.

At this time, Diluk had already arranged the publicity work. People were handing out flyers for the terminal bracelets everywhere in Mondstadt. Shareholders of Academy City, such as Angel's Gift, Adventurer's Guild, and Deer Hunters, also began to promote at the same time, and put up large posters at the door. Even the Knights Templar hung a banner above the gate of Mondstadt to promote tomorrow's press conference.

"Terminal bracelet launch? What's that?" A dusty young man looked up and didn't care. He turned around and told his employees to transport the goods into the city. "Old Henry, hurry up. After transporting this batch of goods, we should look for new business... Now that we have a transport truck, it's troublesome to transport the goods too fast. Tsk, it's hard to find business!"

Behind him was a flying skateboard in follow mode, which was loaded with cargo.

The young man was called Alves. He owned a transport team that had been in business for three years, but his business had been tepid. The morras he earned was barely enough to make ends meet, and he couldn't even save enough morras to marry a wife.

His parents advised him to give up the transport team and stay in Mondstadt as a worker with a fixed monthly salary, but he was very stubborn and didn't believe that he couldn't make a name for himself.

After the transport vehicle was launched in Academy City, he immediately sold his small house in Mond, borrowed money from the transport team, and bought a Fruit Wine Lake.

The final result did not disappoint him. Thanks to the amazing cargo capacity and delivery speed of the Fruit Wine Lake, the transport team earned more Mora in just a few days than it would have taken two months to earn previously.

However, the improvement in transportation efficiency also exposed a problem - the previous small-scale operations did not allow the transportation team to accumulate any customer base. After doing business with old customers, they could not get new business.

Merchants who have a lot of goods to transport are not confident in handing the goods over to a small, unknown transport team. They trust more well-known transport teams that also have transport vehicles.

So Alves had to take individual orders everywhere, but his efficiency was obviously not high.

He and his employees delivered this batch of bulk cargo to more than ten customers, and then each of them dispersed to look for customers in the vast crowd.

"Mr., do you need freight service?"

"what do you need?"

“Cargo services.”

"What business?"

“Cargo service!”

"What transport service?"
