People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

He has now collected three lolis: Klee, Diona and Qiqi. He is only four away from collecting the full seven lolis. If he remembers correctly, there is also one more loli in Liyue, Yaoyao, who can be collected.

Hey!

"Shen Qin, what are you grinning about?" Shatang looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing." He quickly suppressed the perverted expression on his face.

Keli and Qiqi quickly finished eating the candied haws, and then Qiqi remained squatting, staring in a daze at the coconut milk that was gradually drying up on the ground.

Keli looked at Coconut Milk, then looked at Qiqi, and asked in confusion: "Qiqi, what are you looking at?"

“I don’t know, but I want to drink coconut milk.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qin turned around and asked Keqing, "Do you know where I can buy coconut milk?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be in the newly opened 'Feiyun Department Store' of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. By the way, isn't this department store jointly developed by Academy City and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? How come you don't even know this?"

Shen Qin scratched his head: "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce did come to me before and asked me if there was any way to make Mora. I wrote them a plan for a department store and said that Academy City would hold 20% of the shares. I didn't expect them to build the mall so quickly."

"I don't know how you manage to be the boss of Academy City." Keqing shook her head speechlessly. "Feiyun Department Store opened a week ago. In just one week, it has become the most visited mall in Liyue Harbor. Now Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is in contact with Liyue officials, hoping to build three more malls in Liyue Harbor and take over the daily necessities market of the entire Liyue."

"The customer traffic of the two traditional department stores in Liyue Harbor, Rongfa Store and Wanyou Store, has been reduced by half. If the other three Feiyun Department Stores open, they may go bankrupt directly."

"Uh……"

Shen Qin did not expect that the modern supermarket retail model would be so destructive in Teyvat. When he made the plan, he followed Pang Donglai's standards.

Isn't it just good service, low price, good quality and a wide variety? Can you just kill them like that?

"So the Liyue authorities only approved the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to build another Feiyun Department Store, and the location cannot be within the market radiation range of Rongfa Store and Wanyou Store."

Shen Qin said righteously: "Keqing, what you Liyue did is wrong! Feiyun Department Store is a normal market competition, how can you suppress it?"

“Come on.” Keqing rolled her eyes. “What’s the strength of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce behind Feiyun Department Store? What’s the strength of your Academy City? What’s the strength of Rongfa Store and Wanyou Store? The two are not even on the same level!”

"Master Yuhengxing, is there such a possibility? I mean it is possible." Shen Qin said with a shy face, "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has acquired Rongfa Store and Wanyou Store. In this way, there will be no problem of seizing their market, right?"

"roll."

"okay!"

Shen Qin shouted to the two people squatting on the ground: "Girls, let's go to Feiyun Department Store!"

Ke Li picked up the coconut milk box and threw it into the trash can beside the road, then pulled the dumbfounded Qi Qi up from the ground: "Qi Qi, let's go, let's go shopping at Feiyun Department Store!"

Qiqi let her hold her hand: "What is Feiyun Department Store?"

Ke Li looked up at Shen Qin: "What is Feiyun Department Store?"

"It's a place where you can buy coconut milk." Shen Qin said with a smile.

"Coconut milk!" Qiqi's eyes immediately lit up and she became excited!

Seeing Klee pulling Qiqi forward and Sucrose chasing after them worriedly, Shen Qin asked Keqing, "Does this count as child trafficking? Will we be captured by the Thousand Rocks Army?"

Keqing: "Not really. Although Qiqi looks silly, she is actually very smart and can tell who is good to her and who has ulterior motives. If you really want to kidnap her, she will probably unseal you and beat you up the first time."

I don't have any ulterior motives, do I? I just want to collect all seven lolis, what's wrong with that?

Shen Qin nodded with satisfaction.

Feiyun Department Store is on this commercial street, and they arrived there in just over ten minutes.

"Feiyun Chamber of Commerce", four large golden characters in a flamboyant style are engraved on a huge ten-meter-long wooden door plaque. The logos of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Academy City are also engraved in the lower right corner.

The nearly ten-meter-wide shopping mall gate looks particularly imposing against the backdrop of small shops on both sides. There are also two three-meter-high stone lion statues standing on both sides of the gate.

Yeah, that agrees with Shen Qin’s imagination of Liyue.

He stood at the door and watched. Among all the people coming and going on the commercial street, about 70% would go into Feiyun Department Store, and those who came out of the department store all had some merchandise in their hands.

"You see, this is Feiyun Department Store's ability to attract money. It has increased the customer flow of this commercial street by 50%, and other businesses on the street have also benefited from it."

Keqing stood beside him and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

In the commercial capital of Liyue Harbor, being able to run a business like this is already a huge success.

"This is nothing. Once Academy City's online trading platform and logistics system are launched, the Mora earned will be even more than Feiyun Department Store."

"Online trading platform and logistics system?" Keqing asked puzzledly.

Although Liyue is also a shareholder of Academy City, Shen Qin and his team never revealed to them the two money-making tools that had been secretly developed.

"Nothing, you'll understand later." Shen Qin said with a smile, "Let's go in quickly, Ke Li and the others have been in there for a long time, I'm afraid they'll get lost in the mall!"

When they entered the mall, Shen Qin was given a strong sense of being in a modern supermarket.

Apart from the differences in decoration style and the goods sold, they are really the same.

"Daily necessities section, fresh vegetables section, food and beverage section... Oh? There's also a special section for Academy City products! Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is really smart!"

Chapter 216: Bombs for Candied Haws

Except for the fabric area and the academy city area specially set up by Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Feiyun Department Store is basically the same as a modern large supermarket. Therefore, Shen Qin quickly lost interest in shopping there. However, Keqing, who was acting as a tour guide beside him, was having a lot of fun shopping there. She dragged him around the mall, and soon, the shopping cart was filled with all kinds of snacks.

"So you like snacks so much? You're as greedy as Keli." Shen Qin teased her.

Keqing glared at him and said, "Basically all girls like to eat snacks!"

"Sugar doesn't seem to like it very much. If she were asked to choose between a mutant sweet flower and a truckload of snacks, she would definitely choose the sweet flower."

Keqing nodded: "I can understand that. Most of you alchemists are different from ordinary people. Who would be an alchemist?"

Shen Qin was speechless: "That's not the case. I personally feel that I am quite normal."

"That's just your personal feeling."

That being said, Keqing felt that Shen Qin was quite normal among all the alchemists. Apart from his alchemists' common hobby of staying up late to do research, he was a completely ordinary person. He would occasionally be lazy and not want to do research, just like a lazy person who was forced to do scientific research.

The two chatted as they walked towards the cashier. When they were checking out, they saw Shatang and the other two standing at the door waiting for them, carrying large and small bags.

"How was it? Did you enjoy your shopping?" Shen Qin asked them with a smile.

"It's been a great harvest!" Klee said happily while eating snacks.

Qiqi squatted on the ground, her eyes never leaving the coconut milk in the shopping bag: "So much coconut milk! So much coconut milk!"

Shen Qin asked the staff for a cardboard box, packed all the things into the box, and placed it on the flying skateboard.

Keqing raised her wrist to check the time and said, "It's almost five o'clock now. Let's send Qiqi back to Bubulu first, and then take you to Xinyuexuan for dinner. This will be our official invitation to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Keli pulled Qiqi towards where they parked. Poor Qiqi looked back at the box of coconut milk, but was unable to resist Keli's strength and was pulled away.

"Kelly! Don't run around!" Sugar shouted at their backs. She didn't know if Kelly heard her or not, but she didn't have the energy to chase after them. She was exhausted from taking care of them in Feiyun Department Store just now.

"It would be great if Keli could be as well-behaved as Qiqi." She sighed.

Shen Qin complained: "Then it's not Klee."

Sugar thought about it and nodded in agreement. "That's right. A Klee who doesn't fry fish in Fruit Wine Lake is not a good Klee."

Keqing was speechless. She always felt that Klee was subtly controlling them.

The three of them walked back slowly, and when they passed the candied haws shop they had been in before, they were stopped by the shop owner.

He handed them a bomb carefully and said bitterly, "The little girl in red just bought two more candied haws. She gave me a bomb and said it's worth forty Mora. Take it away! I'll treat them to the two candied haws."

Sugar sighed helplessly, took the bomb back, and handed another forty Mora to the boss.

She weighed the bomb, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered softly, "It seems her butt is saved today. There is no gunpowder in it."

The boss holding the forty Moras' hand trembled. Was there really a bomb filled with gunpowder?

When they returned to the parking place, they saw Keli and Qiqi sitting side by side on the connecting rack behind the front of the car. Qiqi was eating candied haws seriously, while Keli was talking to her happily.

Shen Qin couldn't help but raise his wrist and took a photo of them.

When she saw Shen Qin and the others, she immediately jumped down from the shelf and rushed to them. Then she saw the unfriendly-looking Shatang and the bomb in his hand. Her eyes rolled and she threw herself into Shen Qin's arms.

The best way to deal with Sister Shatang is to act coquettishly to Brother Shenqin!

Qiqi behind also ran over, but stopped blankly behind Keli, as if there was no embrace for her to embrace.

But then she was embraced in a warm embrace, her eyes widened instantly, and then her whole body relaxed and she rubbed against Sandu's arms.

"I'm so happy."

When Shen Qin and his friends sent Qiqi back to Bubulu, they happened to meet the owner of Bubulu, Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu was a little surprised to see Qiqi actually letting a girl with light blue hair hold her hand.

"Mr. Bai Shu, we met Qiqi in the commercial district..." Keqing told him what happened before and introduced Shen Qin and the others' names.

"I see. Miss Keqing, Mr. Shen Qin, whose name I have long heard of, Miss Shatang and Miss Keli, thank you for taking care of Qiqi." He nodded and ruffled Qiqi's hair. "I am Bai Zhu, the doctor of Bubulu. I am now... Qiqi's guardian."

"Mr. Bai is the teacher who teaches Qiqi how to prepare and decoct herbs." Qiqi carefully introduced him to the new friend she met today. "Although I often forget what he looks like, it doesn't matter. I remember his aura."

"Hehe, that's just how she is. Her memory is so bad. It's the downside of being immortal."

Shen Qin took out a box of coconut milk he bought for Qiqi from the box and asked Qiqi to hold it. Then he smiled and said to her, "Feiyun Department Store will send coconut milk regularly in the future."

"Okay, thank you." Qiqi wanted to give him a smile, but the stiff skin on her face prevented her from making that expression. She had to lower her head in disappointment. She made a decision in her heart that in addition to body flexibility exercises, she would also do more facial flexibility exercises. Next time she met them, she would smile at them.

"Since Qiqi has been sent here, we will leave first." Shen Qin looked at Bai Zhu, "Bubulu is also a shareholder of Academy City. Mr. Bai Zhu can go to Academy City for a visit when he is free."

"Yes, there is a branch of Bubulu over there."

They exchanged a few more pleasantries and said goodbye to each other.

Qiqi stood at the entrance of Bubulu and watched their backs as they left, muttering to herself, "I don't want to forget them, I don't want to forget them..."

"Okay, let me draw a picture of them and put it in your notebook so you can always remember what they look like."

Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Bai."

Shen Qin and his friends drove back to the commercial street and arrived at Xinyuexuan.

When ordering food, Keqing said:

"The New Moon Pavilion and the Liuli Pavilion are the two largest restaurants in Liyue Harbor. The consumption of Liuli Pavilion is slightly lower, and even ordinary families can afford to go there once in a while. The New Moon Pavilion is mainly for wealthy businessmen, and it is also the designated place for our Liyue officials to entertain guests."

"Its dishes have only one characteristic - they are expensive! But they taste good, and most importantly, you can't go wrong. Today's meal is our official treat, so you can order whatever you want. But if you want to try Liyue's specialties later, the best place to go is Wanmin Hall in the residential area. It's inexpensive and good, and you'll have the chance to taste the cooking of Liyue's number one chef, Xiangling."

Chapter 217 Do you want to dissect my brain?

After hearing Keqing's words, Sucrose spoke up belatedly: "That's right! Xiangling said that after coming to Liyue, we can go to Wanmin Hall to find her!"

Keli also said happily: "Sister Xiangling's cooking is so delicious, Keli wants to eat more!"

"Eh? Do you know Xiangling?" Keqing asked in surprise.

"When Xiangling came to Liyue to look for new ingredients..." Shen Qin smiled and told Keqing about the barbecue steak competition between Xiangling and Brock in Qingquan Town.

They ordered the food while chatting.

The dishes at Xinyuexuan are very expensive, but the service is also very good. Before the dishes are officially served, the waiter brought fruits and nuts for them to kill time, and the first dish was served immediately after five minutes.

The dishes at Xinyuexuan were indeed not as delicious as the ones at Wangshu Inn at noon. How should I put it? They were simply mediocre.

Just like Keqing said, Xinyuexuan’s dishes are impeccable and use sufficient ingredients, making them most suitable for business and official receptions.

However, the advantage of Shen Qin and his friends is that they are not picky eaters. Even if the food tastes a little worse, they will still eat it with gusto.

Shen Qin, Keqing and Sucrose have all finished the battle, but Klee is still fighting at the dinner table. I don’t know if there is a dimensional stomach in her little belly that can hold so many things.

"Keqing, is this considered an official banquet hosted by Liyue? Why does it feel like it's no different from you treating us to a private meal?" Shen Qin asked with some confusion.

In his impression, an official banquet like this should be quite formal, with various procedures and etiquette, and be very complicated.

"I know you don't like those red tapes, so I simplified them all." Keqing said with a smile.

When she came into contact with Shen Qin in Mond, she could feel his free temperament. She knew that this person was very casual and didn't mind red tape. Being too formal would make him feel restrained.
