Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

During the competition, the road will be closed on one side. Please pay attention to the follow-up information for relevant freight vehicles.

......

The transportation and placement of the participants and the prizes for the competition are sponsored by Xuanyuan Trading Company. The prizes are very generous and anyone who can finish the ride will get a prize. Xuanyuan Trading Company said that it will send a team to participate in this competition, but the team will not be included in the competition results.

The final right of interpretation belongs to the General Affairs Department.

Another 1: We are recruiting volunteers, providing three meals a day, and the General Affairs Department will be responsible for all expenses. For other regulations, please see Appendix 1.

Another 2: Medical staff will be deployed every 10 kilometers, but the staff is limited. For the emergency treatment methods for the competitors who may encounter falls, cramps, dehydration, heat stroke, etc., please see Appendix 2 for details.

......

This piece of news instantly set off the people of Liyue Harbor. There was still more than half a month to May 26st, and bicycles were already available in every household, and the wheels were all inches, which meant that everyone could participate.

However, 120 kilometers, at the current bicycle speed, even if it is a long straight road, will take about 6 hours to ride. This is not something that ordinary people can finish by gritting their teeth. Only those with sufficient endurance and good health can have a hope of winning.

The General Affairs Department also hopes that only people with strong bodies will sign up. After all, if one’s physical fitness cannot keep up and one faints on the side of the road, not only will one make a fool of oneself, but one will also waste manpower and resources to rescue others.

"Have you signed up?"

"Yes! I often go to Wangshu Inn to transport goods."

"This time I have to use all my strength, it's different from the slow walk when I was pulling the goods myself."

"Anyway, as long as you finish the race, you'll get a prize. The winner will depend on those who have the money to modify it."

"Ningguang's shop on Tianquan Star has recently added some new competition items, including more lubricated bearings, special wire rims, better tires, and lighter frames... but they are all very expensive."

"How can it not be expensive? That's an exclusive business. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce wanted to build its own brand of bicycles before, but it ran into a lot of obstacles and made a lot of jokes.

Just the small iron beads inside the bearings, the iron beads produced by Feiyun Chamber of Commerce are of different sizes. And most importantly, they are not wear-resistant. They are worn out in less than a week of use. "

"Indeed, the rumors in Liyue Harbor were very strange at that time. Seeing that Tianquan Xing Ningguang was making a lot of money, all the major chambers of commerce wanted to get a piece of the pie. Isn't it just a broken iron frame? Such a simple thing, it is not difficult to make it. In the end, they all ended up in disgrace."

"I can't help it. The bicycles from Xuanyuan Trading Company are really too durable. I have this one for almost two years. Except for two tires that were worn out from hauling goods, everything else is in good condition.

Last time I oiled the bearings and chain, I took it apart and found that there was almost no wear inside, and it was as good as new. I think this bike is good enough for my grandson to ride. "

"How about we, the guys who are hauling goods, form a team? Then we'll have someone to look after us. After all, we can get a consolation prize after the race."

"So what's the name of our team?"

“What about the Huolala fleet? It’s simple and easy to understand.”

"Agree."

......

In this way, the first bicycle race held in Liyue gradually spread throughout the continent of Teyvat amidst the heated discussions.

Chapter 33: Liyue's Foreign Trash

The Qun Yu Pavilion was once again crowded with Yue Hai Ting's secretaries, including Gan Yu.

Ningguang slumped in her chair, looking at the pile of documents on the table, as if she had seen hell, and her mind was a little bit broken. As soon as this guy came back, her workload increased by more than twenty times.

In the past, I could sit by the window and listen to the secretaries reading reports, which was very comfortable. Now, I have to review these documents quickly, otherwise more will pile up.

Holding a grand event involves a lot of related matters, arrangements and mobilizations from all aspects, which cannot be easily resolved. Moreover, this competition has a wide audience, and the General Affairs Department has already received news that Mond will arrange a team to participate.

“Hey! Ningguang, I heard that Liyue is going to do something big as soon as I got back!”

"It's you, Beidou. Isn't April a good time to go out to sea? Why are you back?"

"Don't mention it. I was sailing peacefully on the sea, but a new 'sea mountain' appeared out of nowhere. It smashed a hole in the side of my boat and then ran away. Fortunately, I didn't carry much cargo, so I managed to survive. Now the boat has been sent to the shipyard for repairs, and I have to pay a lot of money."

"It is indeed dangerous to go out to sea. There is really no good way to deal with this kind of one-hit-and-run away method at sea."

"The last time I saw the Jade Pavilion so busy was during the pest control program. I heard they're going to hold a bicycle race this time?"

"That guy is back. This time he is not going to kill other companies, but to kill the bicycle industry that I worked so hard to build."

"You haven't offended him in some way, have you?"

Beidou had heard a lot about the young master of Xuanyuan Trading Company in the past two years. Mingyun Town also sent people to infiltrate, but they were not released until a year later and were forced to sign a contract with the Rock King Statue. He only told Beidou "not to be an enemy", and then left the fleet and went to work in Mingyun Town.

"Isn't it just that I didn't use the new technology in his drawings? Are you so cruel to me? After the new bicycles are launched on May 1st, the more than 20,000 bicycles in the warehouse can only be sold at a lower price. My heart hurts, my money!"

"I've heard you say before that he has a special obsession with new technologies. I didn't expect it to be in this way." Beidou couldn't help but sympathize.

"How about you help me transport this batch of goods to Inazuma and sell it? After all, it's quite far away, and your Death Star will arrive in about ten days."

"If you give me a preferential price, it is indeed profitable. I have also shipped a lot of bicycles over the past year. They are still using poles and carts to transport goods. And because it is an island country, the sea erosion is much more serious than Liyue.

The material used in Liyue's bicycles is basically rust-proof, and they are easy to use and can easily transport goods. They are very popular in Inazuma. The original selling price of one bicycle was about 15 Mora, and now it should have risen to 25 Mora. "

"Maritime business is indeed very profitable. The price of shipping goods doubles or triples."

"It's not as simple as you think. It costs money to deal with people and pay taxes."

"I don't know you yet. It must be that only a small portion pays taxes. Most of the rest enter Inazuma through the black smuggling route. Don't let me catch you, or you will have to stay in Liyue Prison."

"Hey, if we don't do this, we won't be able to support the fleet."

"I heard that Inazuma also has good steelmaking technology. Didn't they copy it?"

"Of course not, it's quite lively over there! There are quite a few craftsmen there, and seeing that the structure is simple and the profit is so huge, they all want to make it themselves and sell it. Even Tianling Bugyo, who controls the heart of the Imperial Shadow Furnace, has joined in.

In the end, they actually built one, but everyone was soon disappointed. In less than a week, the car was already covered with rust.

Inazuma uses more steel bars, but they have no way of getting the steel pipes used for this type of bicycle, so they can only drill and polish them by hand.

The most troublesome part is the bearings. It takes some time and effort to make beads of uniform specifications, but adding the condition of sufficient wear resistance makes these craftsmen feel desperate.

Tenryo Bugyo used the 'tama steel' used to make swords to make bicycles, and created Inazuma's second bicycle. However, the 'tama steel' used was enough to make 5 top-quality swords, and the cost was so high that few people could afford it.

The most troublesome thing is that if you don't oil it properly for maintenance, it will still rust. But Liyue's bicycles are exposed to wind, sun and rain, and there is still no rust.

Two months ago, several craftsmen publicly announced their retirement from the blacksmithing industry.

The reason was simple. A group of ronin attacked the transport team of the Shebuxing's family. The Shebuxing's servants fought hard. A young guy directly grabbed Liyue's bicycle to block the knife.

As a result, the sword of the ronin hit the beam of the bicycle and broke. Then the kid used the bicycle to block the sword of another ronin, and the ronin on the opposite side chopped it down and broke it again. In this way, three swords were broken in a row, and the ronin on the opposite side was shocked and fled.

Afterwards, the young man checked and found only three shallow knife marks on the beam. The bike was not broken and could still be ridden. They also found the half-broken swords left by the ronin, all made of "tama steel" material.

When word of this spread to Inazuma Castle, it immediately caused a great stir. In the square next to Yaedo, there were many warriors who took Liyue's bicycles for testing, and none of them were spared, and all broke. Finally, a blacksmith couldn't bear the humiliation, so he took a short-handled hammer and smashed it with all his might, using more than ten hits before the beam was slightly deformed.

Actually, Liyue bicycles were not so expensive before. After this incident, the price went up like crazy. And it was quite a big deal. I heard that even General Lei Dian was alarmed. Now in Inazuma City, everyone knows that Liyue bicycles are good things, and there is no problem selling them if you take them over. "

Beidou couldn't help but think of Ningguang's words back then. That madman had already planned to engage in shipping. Now that madman is so ruthless that he even ruined his own family's business. In a few years, when he has time to spare, what will happen to his fleet?

Ningguang closed her eyes, her heartbeat quickening. She remembered Lin Zixuan's persistent attitude towards technology. Was this what he meant by technical crushing?

Using technology to crush a country directly, causing their blacksmiths and sword industry to collapse directly, and their blacksmiths will only be qualified to make kitchen knives in the future. If the goods are legal and compliant, the country cannot arbitrarily prevent the masses from using them.

Did he go through something similar back then? If he didn’t exist, Inazuma’s current situation would be the future of Liyue.

The batch of bicycles in the warehouse were already considered garbage to the people of Liyue, and they were going to be sold far away to Inazuma, who would treat them like treasures.

This batch of goods seemed to have become what he called the garbage that had drifted across the ocean, or in short, foreign garbage.

At this moment, Lin Zixuan was training the five newly selected contestants in Mingyun Town, getting them used to the new speed-changing bicycles and the tactics that would be adopted that day. Xuanyuan Trading Company's speed-changing bicycles did have advantages, but they could not be taken lightly.

There are many geniuses in Liyue. As long as they are given a chance, they will definitely do better than me. Some geniuses will definitely have their own designs and ideas.

Xuanyuan Trading Company has already started selling various steel and accessory raw materials, and some finished parts have been handed over to Ningguang for sale. By then, there will definitely be all kinds of strange bicycles.

A great man once said: strategically despise the enemy, tactically take the enemy seriously. Xuanyuan Trading Company's show to promote its products must not go wrong!

We also have to customize a set of Xuanyuan Trading Company's team uniforms, and the cycling clothes and shoes also need to be redesigned.

Let’s go to the Qun Yu Pavilion and discuss it with Ningguang first!

When I arrived at the Jade Pavilion, I found Ningguang and Beidou chatting. Ganyu and the secretarial team were analyzing and classifying a pile of documents nearby.

"You are all here! It just so happens that I have a new idea." Lin Zixuan greeted them with a smile.

When Ningguang saw him running out again, her head started buzzing again, constantly sending out rejection signals.

Beidou saw this man again two years later, and relying on his battle intuition, he found that he could no longer detect his strength. He was covered with extremely high elemental power, and his body constantly sent out signals that if he became an enemy of him, he would die.

Ganyu was very happy to see him coming. This grand competition event was something that Liyue had never seen before. The smiles on the faces of the people in Liyue Harbor were the best tonic.

“This competition cannot be organized by just a few of us. We need more businesses to participate, which will make it easier to increase the cohesion of the people of Liyue.

To be more specific, it is to open up team sponsorship. In simple terms, businesses provide funds and use cheap investments to obtain advertising revenue and build brand influence.

When the team you sponsor achieves good results, your popularity will increase not only in Liyue but also in the continent of Teyvat.

This involves clothing design, vehicle modification, and nutrition issues for team members, and all aspects of the matter are involved. The circulation of this kind of funds is beneficial to the development of Liyue.

Then there are the viewing points along the way. Many viewing platforms need to be built along the starting point and the end point. Although I can build them directly with Wood Release Technique, this will not be of any help to Liyue.

I suggest finding a business to build it, using some wooden seats and a steel frame with a quick-disassembly design. I have the drawings here. This easy-to-disassemble design can save materials, after all, it will be needed for future competitions. Also, the quality of the project must be guaranteed, and collapse accidents must not occur due to quality problems.

At the Luhuachi Service Station, because time is a bit tight, I will build a bunch of temporary villas and divide them into several areas.

Because there are a lot of tourists coming in during the last few days of the month, the General Affairs Department probably can't spare much manpower.

Please notify the famous inns in Liyue to provide service personnel and accommodation and living supplies. This will also improve the popularity and reputation of their inns.

The expenses of the team members and related staff will be borne by the General Affairs Department, and the expenses of the remaining tourists will be shared with the inns and hotels.

I will also build barriers along the way. When the speed is too fast, if a few people or vehicles appear, it will have a serious impact on the race. I will reserve advertising areas on the barriers, and you can consider the price of these locations.

Finally, after the competition, a large number of people will flock to Liyue Harbor. I plan to build a temporary food street from the bus station to the original Liyue Harbor archway, which is the junction of the old city and the new city, to divert the flow of people.

You can notify all the major restaurants and snack shops in Liyue, and then calculate the booth fees."

Ningguang suddenly felt that her workload had not simply increased twenty times, but had increased two hundred times.

This is not open source, nor is it making a bigger cake. This is already turning a small cake into a giant, and letting everyone in Liyue come over to take a bite.

“Beidou, don’t go out to sea for the time being. When I’m done with this busy period, I need to go to Inazuma.

Liyue will be quite busy during this period. Please help keep an eye on those rats in the dark. There is a lot of legal and compliant work for them to do. Tell them that if they cause any trouble during this period, Liyue's reputation will be affected.

The Emperor's men will personally wipe them out, and no one will be left alive. As for the black gambling industry, you and Ningguang will take care of it." Lin Zixuan once again used Beidou as a free soldier.

"Ganyu, please help fill in the gaps! After all, there are still many related projects that have not been mentioned. I don't know much about this, so you can analyze it carefully to confirm whether it is feasible."

After saying that, he quickly slipped away. Ningguang seemed to be about to explode, Beidou showed a scary smiling expression, and Ganyu was very normal. If they stayed any longer, something bad would probably happen.

Ningguang saw Lin Zixuan leaving.

"Beidou, it looks like we'll have to work together again this time."

"I always feel that your group of Yuge has bad feng shui. This is the second time he has threatened me and taken me as a free laborer. He also said that Liyue's reputation will be affected. If anything goes wrong, he will definitely be the first to come to my door."

"I understand his thinking a little bit. Anything that hinders Liyue's development will be crushed by him. Your pirate fleet is also within his crushing range, but your reputation is relatively good now, so he is giving you a chance to clear your name.

You know, a few months ago when I went to Mingyun Town, the train was already in trial operation. I found that huge thing very scary. It can carry more than 500 tons per trip and is faster than a horse. This is just the initial test version.

If your fleet doesn’t undergo transformation when he is free to engage in shipping, you will really have no choice but to move away and find another way out.”

"It can carry 500 tons at a time and be faster than a horse. Is there really such a thing? I don't believe it."

"Forget it, let's finish this competition first! When the train shows up, you have to make a decision."

Ganyu, who was standing aside, couldn't get a word in and was already starting to feel sleepy.

Chapter 34: Inazuma's Plan

"The General Affairs Department has new information!"

"What information?"

“The General Affairs Department has a new regulation: If there are sponsors willing to sponsor a team, they can register with the General Affairs Department. A business can only sponsor up to three teams.

In order to avoid trouble, the team can only choose one sponsor. That is, people with strength, no longer worry about not having a good car. If the person is strong, but the car is not good, it will be frustrating if you lose. If the team achieves good results, the sponsor will also have internal rewards!

Since the number plate is on the front of the clothes, sponsors can print the names of their own companies or products on the sides and back of the team's clothes. A dummy with a template of the clothes has been placed at the door of the General Affairs Department. "

“This Tianquanxing Ningguang is really amazing. I originally thought that they just played it among themselves, but now it has directly affected the sales of major businesses and clothing in Liyue.” A pot-bellied middle-aged businessman was extremely envious.

"Don't be envious. You're in the wood business, and that's a big business. There are more than a dozen diversion viewing platforms along the way. Tens of thousands of seats need to be built."

"What? Thanks for the reminder, I'll leave first! I'll buy you a drink later."

"Then it should have nothing to do with my paper sales, right?"

"The advertising space on the railings along the way has been snapped up by a bunch of merchants in the General Affairs Department. Just wait and see how you make money! How much paper do you think you will need for 120 kilometers of advertising space?"
