Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"A team? Like a bicycle race?"

"That's right. Crystal car racing is much more troublesome than bicycle racing. The logistics and maintenance personnel are very important. Victory is not just an individual achievement, but also the credit of the entire team.

Of course, there are official ways to play and amateur ways to play, and relevant regulations may appear soon. You must practice well before that."

"This is a big deal! Uncle, I'll take you to sign up." The young man excitedly dragged Lin Zixuan to the hotel.

"Well, take me there first!"

The two arrived at the door of the hotel.

"Xiao Jiang Hot Spring Hotel?" Lin Zixuan looked at the sign, and some memories came back to him. In this location, there was also this Xiao Jiang, could it be?

After entering the hotel, a philosopher sitting at the front desk saw someone coming in and was about to say hello.

After seeing who was coming, he stood up and immediately saluted.

"Qianyan Army No. 1... uh... no. Shao Yuan has met Master Xuan!!!"

Chapter 242 When tragedy is affected by the butterfly effect

"Eh!!! Master Xuan?" The young man next to him covered his mouth.

Lin Zixuan's fake mask gradually disappeared, revealing his true face with an immortal aura, which surprised several people in the hall.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you've seen the mask I usually use. Have you seen it before in the army?"

"Yes, Master Xuan." Shao Yuan nodded seriously.

"There should be quite a few empty rooms upstairs. Let's find a place to talk."

"Well, please come with me."

"Wait a moment, let me deal with the person next to me first." Lin Zixuan looked at the young man next to him.

The young man changed from his previous arrogant and fearless appearance to a shy one, not knowing where to put his hands and his legs trembling slightly.

"There are rewards and penalties. I will express my gratitude for bringing me in to sign up. If you form a racing team, I will give your team the official racing engine numbered 001, which is the first one to leave the factory.

But you were speeding in Lisha Suburb, exceeding the safe speed. I think you are well aware of the relevant regulations. Go to the General Affairs Department to receive the fine! Don't drive a crystal car dangerously in the future.

The real coolness is standing on the podium holding up the medals and trophies to show to people, rather than pretending to be cool in front of ordinary people to gain vanity. "

"Yes, I'll go right away." The young man left the hotel, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

Following Shao Yuan, I came to a room upstairs that looked like a reception room.

"Master Xuan, I hope you don't take what happened thirteen years ago to heart?"

"You remember it clearly. At that time, I had just obtained the Eye of God and tried it at home. I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. You were also impartial and I never had any resistance to you. Could it be that someone in the army was trying to make things difficult for you because of this?"

"No, no, no. Leaving the Thousand Rocks Army early was the result of my wife Duan Ya and I's consideration. In fact, I still want to stay in the Thousand Rocks Army, but my wife disagrees. Last year, when Emperor Yan Wang left, the demon god attacked the city, which frightened her again. She would never agree to let me fight again."

"Again? Can you elaborate?"

"It's a long story. My wife and I are from the same village. When we were young, our village was often robbed by bandits like the Treasure Stealing Group. It was the Qianyan Army that drove the bandits away and protected our village.

So I aspired to become a Thousand Rocks Army and protect Liyue. At the age of 17, I joined the Thousand Rocks Army. During my time in the army, I realized how difficult the Thousand Rocks Army was.

Liyue is too big, with many villages. There are countless bandit organizations like the Treasure Stealing Group, plus various monster attacks. When we finished cleaning up this village, another village had trouble.

Every time we went out to suppress bandits, we would not be back for a month or two. The bandits hid in the mountains, and it was very difficult to find them. The military budget at that time was very stingy, and the horses were rationed very little.

As a new recruit, I had to start from scratch, which made me very frustrated. Every day I just stood guard at the main roads near Liyue Harbor, watching some people go out upright and come back horizontally on stretchers.

Without the Eye of God, he could not use the anchor point to teleport. When he encountered some powerful monsters, he could only run away. He tried the medicinal bath many times, but failed. He could only become a very ordinary Qianyan Army.

But I didn't want to give up, so I applied to join the team that focused on suppressing bandits. Seeing my determination, my captain handed me a book of horizontal training methods and said: "I will accept you when you can practice to the basic level."

I didn't expect that this horizontal training method was so suitable for me. It only took me one year to achieve minor success, so I have this muscular body.

Of course, the side effect is also very obvious, that is, the whole person will become very impulsive. It is probably what people often use to describe it as: "bad temper".

Although he got what he wanted and joined the bandit-suppression team, and made a name for himself, the side effect was that he often offended people, causing his military career to go through ups and downs.

Having a reputation also made me a thorn in the eyes of those lawless thieves. They got my wife's address from somewhere and came to kill her.

Fortunately, I was on leave and went home, and I killed them in time. My wife was pregnant at the time, and she was directly disturbed and the fetus was born prematurely. After the military doctors of Qianyan Army examined her, they all said that premature birth caused congenital deficiencies and would cause trouble in the future.

I recognized these thieves and bandits. Normally, they should have been imprisoned for more than ten years, but they appeared at my doorstep.

I was extremely angry at that time, and my temper made me beat up a bunch of relevant personnel in Liyue Port, and then I was taken to jail by the Thousand Rocks Army.

Later I heard that Tianshuxing intervened in the matter and pulled me out of jail. My position, which was about to become a general, was reduced to that of an ordinary captain.

Afterwards, Tianshuxing sent me a book of meditation secrets. It took me more than two years and I was in my early 30s to roughly resolve the side effects of my bad temper. At that time, I was on duty in Liyue Harbor and happened to meet you, Master Xuan, who had just obtained the Eye of God.

The incident is not over yet. The group of people I killed back then was a large-scale bandit group that focused on smuggling contraband. They had seven leaders in total, and I only killed two of them, with five more hiding in the dark.

These five bosses hid very deep, and according to the captured minions, they would definitely come back for revenge. And they must have an unusual network of connections to be able to release the captured people.

Since then, I have thought about quitting Qianyan Army. It is just that it costs money to find a famous doctor to treat Xiao Jiang, and it also costs money for future life.

I lost my position as a general, and the salary of an ordinary captain is not high. If I serve in the Qianyan Army for 20 years before retiring, I will receive a large amount of resettlement allowance, and the longer the time, the better. So I have to work in the Qianyan Army for a few more years to make enough money.

This was originally the plan...but the plan went awry!

Master Xuan, you have purged all the treasure-stealing groups and bandits in Liyue, even the Seven Stars were eliminated. The five hidden leaders naturally had nowhere to hide and were directly killed by the Qianyan Army.

Then you contributed the technology of Xuanyuan Trading Company. I don't know what happened to my wife, she tried to do the bearing business, and then she couldn't stop, making more and more money. After becoming rich, Xiao Jiang was treated carefully and was no different from an ordinary person.

Can you understand how it feels to be the head of a family who used to support his family by himself, but suddenly becomes the one being supported by a rich woman?

The internal reform of Qianyan Army is much better than before. I thought I could return to the position of general, but those guys were all pigs pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and they directly eliminated me.

As he grew older, his physical strength and martial arts were no longer as good as those of the new recruits. In addition, the changes in the Qianyan Army’s welfare system made him originally plan to retire after serving for another ten years.

The Kingdom of Winter was causing trouble again, and the demon god was released, which frightened my wife. She cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself before I was discharged from the army. She also arranged a job for me.

Finally, it became what it is now." Shao Yuan, the philosophical uncle, talked about his bitterness.

Lin Zixuan recalled the situation in the game.

Shao Yuan in the game died heroically during his last duty. The bandits went to his house to kill people. His wife Duan Ya hid Xiao Jiang and led the bandits away, but eventually died tragically. Xiao Jiang was born with dementia and is still waiting for his parents to come back.

I really didn't expect that under the flapping of my wings, so many people would be affected. I had actually seen this Shao Yuan thirteen years ago. The philosophical uncle who often rushed and yelled in my memory has now become the owner of a huge hotel.

“Isn’t it good now? You once joined the Thousand Winds to protect the people of Liyue, and now it’s the turn of these new Thousand Winds to protect you. And your life is getting better and better, you should be happy.”

"Well, Liyue is getting better and better now. We have to organize this crystal car race well. Does Master Xuan want to participate?"

"Sorry, this crystal car race needs to be put on hold for the time being."

"Ah? Why?" Shao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Because it's too petty! With only so few people participating and not many people watching, it's a bit too shabby."

"This... more than 30 people participating in the competition is already a lot, right?"

"The crystal car race has long been planned in Liyue, and many of the regulations and laws regarding racing are not sound. In addition, since it has not been approved by the General Affairs Department, all these young people outside are suspected of speeding, and the Qianyan Army will come to arrest them when the time comes."

"Uh... my wife is in contact with Beidou. I'll go ask her tonight. Beidou won't trick us, right?"

"Given Beidou's personality, she definitely hasn't reported to the General Affairs Department. However, the General Affairs Department will requisition the site you funded to build. We will send someone to discuss the specific situation. Of course, the reward will not be small."

"Okay, then I'll go inform the people who have signed up."

Lin Zixuan, who changed back to his normal face, used the "invisibility technique" and walked out of Xiaojiang Hot Spring Hotel.

As the sun sets, there are fewer people and cars in the parking lot outside. But...what does it mean that a dozen reporters are taking pictures of my car? There are also many people staring at the hotel entrance, as if waiting for me to come out.

It seems that this Liyue 356A needs to change its license plate and color, and these people need to be given some eye drops. They cannot be allowed to develop into the paparazzi mode in the later stage, making up rumors at will for the sake of big news.

Go to a secluded corner, take out a Xuanyuanlong from the space ring, and experience the track again along the mountain road.

Approaching the U-shaped bend at the bottom of the mountain, Lin Zixuan looked at the drainage ditch beside him, and the corners of his mouth rose. He would arrange for someone to come and repair the drainage ditch tomorrow. Then he would see who is so talented as to make use of these inconspicuous places.

A red Xuanyuanlong was coming towards them on the opposite mountain lane and sped past Lin Zixuan quickly.

A question mark popped up in Lin Zixuan's head. What was that just now? A 14-year-old fat boy was driving, and a 30-year-old lady in a fancy dress was dozing off in the passenger seat. Could they be Shao Yuan's wife and children? Did the fat boy have a driver's license?

Chapter 243 Turbulence

At home in Liyue Harbor.

At dinner time, Lin Zixuan told Ningguang and Shen He what happened today.

"Spar car race?"

"Well, to put it bluntly, it's an advanced version of horse racing. The jockey is important, but the horse is more important. The same is true for crystal car racing, the focus is on the car.

Of course, there may be situations where the integration of man and car is extraordinary. In general, it is a more exciting event than horse racing.”

"Then what about our cycling race?" Ningguang asked.

"Just stagger their dates and hold the 'Tour of Liyue Cycling Race' in May every year. It will become a popular event across the continent of Teyvat.

These riders care about honor and bonuses. What we care about is the traffic brought by this sport, attracting foreigners to come to Liyue to spend money, so that all walks of life can reap the benefits.

The most important thing is: the right to make the rules. How to compete, what method to use, and which towns or villages to pass through, we in Liyue have the final say."

"'Tour of Liyue'? The right to make the rules? Tell me more about it, and I'll think about it."

“If we finish the competition in one day, it will be too fast, and some players may not perform well on that day.

Just like Ara Taki Ichito last time, he had the ability to win the championship, but he ate soy products the night before the competition and was completely out of shape. In the end, he only got an upper-middle level result.

What if we change this tournament to a points system? Extend the tournament to 14 days, one tournament per day?

The better the players are, the more points they can get. Doesn't this make the competition more interesting?

The right to make rules is also very important.

The starting and ending points of a stage are set by us, which will inevitably bring a large number of tourists and business to the local area.

With this year’s race route announced a few months before the race, do you think there will be countless runners practicing on these planned routes?

Even though the competition has long ended, there are still many people who will regard these roads as practice goals and practice day after day.

We can even set up new elimination rules: if a racer lags too far behind the main group, he will be in danger of being eliminated.”

After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, Ningguang widened her eyes and took out a map of Liyue to look at it.

"The competition has been changed to 14 days, with a points system, route planning, and the consumption brought by tourists. This will probably become a very important event in Liyue. Can it be extended to 20 days, or would it be better to just one month?"

"It's up to you to arrange it. After all, people get tired. It's easy to cause car accidents due to fatigue. If the time is too long, they won't be able to maintain their best condition, so they will choose to use some banned drugs."

"Well, I'll think about it. By the way, that crystal car race you mentioned should be similar, right?"

“Yes, it will be a very important event in the future. It will also form a huge chain of interests, so we have to make good arrangements in advance.

And they need to be shackled. If they are not shackled, it is easy for them to turn into underground racing gangs and underground gambling, which will have a huge negative impact. "

"Well, I'll go and set up some stricter laws."

"Laws are one aspect, and the other aspect is to guide people to play in the circle we have defined.

Countless racing tracks and racetracks are built all over Liyue, and the locals near those tracks will practice based on the local tracks.

It might be interesting if some team decides to conquer all the tracks in Liyue.

Now only people with a little money at home can play around with it. As the technology matures and manufacturing costs drop, a lot of people will be able to afford crystal cars. In the future, more and more people will enter this circle.”

"Are you planning to expand the pie again? Wouldn't the profits of our Xuanyuan Trading Company be reduced again? I recently heard that the amber solution was cracked by Xumi."

"I've heard about this, too. There are so many smart scholars in Xumi. It's only a matter of time before the amber solution is cracked.

But there is no need to worry for the time being, because the most critical point is: cost.

Because amber contains a large amount of rock elements, our process only requires about ten steps to complete the production.

However, there is no amber in Xumi, so the process of making the amber solution they use is completely different from ours. The official name should be called "pseudo-amber solution".

There is no mineral like amber that contains a large amount of rock elements. The production process adopted by Xumi is to mine a large amount of minerals with a small amount of rock elements.

It takes more than a hundred processes to produce the "pseudo amber solution". After calculating the equipment cost and labor cost, the price they sell for the same liter of amber solution will be thousands of times more expensive than ours.

Such 'fake amber solution' will not affect the sales of our amber solution."

"Then I feel much more relieved. There are indeed many capable scholars in Xumi. Over the years, the secret agents have recruited many people from the Academy of Ordinances to develop in Liyue. Those sages have quite a few complaints about Liyue. It is said that two sages still want to take you back." Ningguang and Shenhe covered their mouths and laughed.

"Are you still not giving up? But by now, they should have changed their minds. Then I will take the Grass God to Xumi for a stroll."

"Grass God? You actually know him too?"
