"!!! I'll go first, thank you!"
"This competition has mobilized all walks of life in Liyue. It is said that there are thousands of carriages used for transport alone. There are also inns that supply food to the contestants and volunteers, which is not a small amount of money.
There has been new news these days. It is said that a temporary food court is being built at the finish line. After the race, there will definitely be a lot of people returning to Liyue Harbor. When they pass by the food court and smell the delicious food, they will definitely pay for it. "
"Wouldn't it be possible for my wonton restaurant with a century-old secret recipe to become famous?"
"Of course, we need to get a good seat first."
"This time, the maximum bet for these underground gambling games cannot exceed 100 million Mora. According to the information obtained by the Dragon King Beidou, I heard that this competition will be supervised by the weakest soldier of the Emperor.
As for those sneaky treasure-stealing groups, if they do something bad this time and affect Liyue's reputation and fame, that soldier will use the power of thunder to directly wipe out all the treasure-stealing groups."
"Is that the soldier of the Emperor who used the Thousand Hands Condensing Light to directly overturn the mountain?"
"Yes, it's him. He has built nearly 5000 villas next to the Luhuachi Service Station. There are railings in the middle of the cement road and on the left side of the road that stretch as far as the eye can see."
"It's too exaggerated!"
"You weren't here two years ago, were you? That time it was even more exaggerated. There was a huge mountain at the entrance, and it disappeared in an instant. This time, they just built a few railings for the villas. They didn't even use one ten-thousandth of his strength."
"It's better to inform your relatives and friends this time, and don't cause trouble during this event. Otherwise, if someone throws a mountain directly down, you really won't even know how you died."
......
All kinds of news spread quickly. Businesses, teams, travelers, and the people of Liyue Harbor were all looking forward to this grand event. After all, if it was a competition of essays or martial arts, only a few people would be able to participate. But riding a bicycle, even a three-year-old child can do it (although he would wear training wheels).
Nearly 1200 players have registered for this race. Among them, more than are teams, and the rest are basically individual investors. Because there are too many people, they have to draw lots to determine the starting positions. The most dangerous time is when the race starts.
We can only ask the General Affairs Department to promote it. If we rush too hard in the early stage, we will be exhausted in the later stage. In the starting stage, there is no need to fight for position. The real competition begins in the middle stage. The reasonable allocation of physical strength is the key point of this competition.
Lin Zixuan stood on the railing of the Lotus Pond Square, looking at the people in the small port below riding bicycles and tricycles transporting various supplies coming and going. He finally felt a sense of accomplishment, no longer having to use wooden carts without even bearings.
The development brought about by the smooth flow of goods will make Liyue Port stronger and stronger. Coupled with the unique geographical location of the world port, problems such as cargo backlogs are almost non-existent.
“Emperor, is Liyue Harbor now more lively than before?” Noticing the suffocating rock elemental force appearing behind him, he should be out for tea at this time!
"You've caused such a big incident right after returning. I really can't underestimate you."
"The main purpose is to stimulate the economy of Liyue Harbor and also to discover some talents. Let's go to the Heyu Teahouse together? The new leader of the Yunhan Society seems to have started performing this year. I wonder if there's a chance to hear her play."
"Well, that little Mr. Yun did sing well."
The two went to Heyu Teahouse, found a good seat and sat down, and poured a cup of Kung Fu tea for Zhongli.
"Two years ago, I went to Ao Zang Mountain to learn about immortal talismans. Master Liu Yun Jie Feng taught me a lot, which really opened my eyes. After two years, I finally learned a lot and became a master."
"You've finished learning in two years? This is much faster than what Master Liuyun Jiefeng learned back then."
"After coming back, I found that the roads and transportation have changed, but people's thinking has not changed. In this competition, my team will inspire the creative talents of the people in Liyue Port with an overwhelming victory. Because the materials used in Xuanyuan Trading Company's bicycles are all materials that can be bought in stores.
After the competition, there should be a group of people who are very interested in these things. At that time, I will let Ningguang include them in Liyue’s talent training plan to pave the way for another means of transportation in the future.”
"I also have a special deluxe version of the bicycle you made. It is indeed very comfortable and labor-saving to ride. Is the other means of transportation you mentioned better than a bicycle?"
"Well, it can be seen as an advanced version of a horse-drawn carriage." Lin Zixuan pinched his cheeks with both hands to prevent himself from laughing, but his eyes had already betrayed him. The image of Zhongli riding a bicycle appeared in his mind.
"Bang!" A slap came down. "Don't think about those messy things. There is something new in Liyue. I must go and try it myself."
"When a new mode of transportation comes out, it will be something that suits your status. There are still many technical issues that have not been resolved, so it will take time."
"Is this the means of transportation from your previous world? I'll look forward to it!"
Lin Zixuan rubbed his swollen head and performed healing magic.
"By the way, I heard something happened to Inazuma. It's possible that the puppet general will do something bad to me. If necessary, can you help me resist? After all, that puppet is a sneak attack without martial ethics."
"I have also heard about Inazuma's affairs. You blame Liyue for your products not being as good as ours. I will help you fight this matter. But what about the puppets you mentioned? Lei Shen and I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years."
"That otaku girl sealed her true self deep in her heart for hundreds of years to resist wear and tear. She created a puppet soul with a bunch of conditions attached to it to strengthen her beliefs and handle various matters of Inazuma on a daily basis.
It's probably like your main body is sleeping, but your Zhongli clone is still active, something like that."
"Resisting wear and tear in a similar way to Turtle Breath? It does have its merits. But I prefer to watch Liyue develop step by step."
"She pursued eternity, but she didn't know that she had completely led Inazuma astray, which is a good thing for Liyue. I am very much looking forward to seeing Liyue become a metropolis on the continent of Teyvat after a few hundred years.
Her wife, who lives in the countryside, still uses backward carts, candles, and small boats to fish. The resources on the island are all being plundered by the heroes. "
"The Seven Worldly Governors exist to maintain the stability of Teyvat. The situation of plundering by the heroes you mentioned will not happen."
“That’s not certain. It’s hard to say about the traveler who appeared six years later, but the one in the abyss is a mortal enemy of heaven. We just need to wait and see how things develop and make plans slowly.
I will not use gentler means like I did with Liyue for the other six nations. No matter how much trouble we have internally, the wealth is still in Liyue.
Now many of Inazuma's resources are needed for Liyue's later development. I will do whatever it takes to get some of Inazuma's resources into Liyue's hands.
In fact, the best way is to suppress and seal the puppet general secretly, and then create a fake Thunder God to take office. Then use commercial means to plunder Inazuma's resources. As long as it does not cause a war between gods, justice should not come out.
Anyway, the current puppet general is just a puppet. After sealing her, a fake Dharma body can be created to implement her eternal policy of "letting future people see the same scenery as their predecessors." It will not violate her idea of eternity.
The operation is actually very simple. After all, you only need to ban the import of all goods and the creativity of the Inazuma people. Then arrange for people to sell those rare resources to Liyue at the price of 10 Mora per ton.
In this way, after a thousand years, when Inazuma's mineral resources are exhausted, the doll can be released and she will be able to see the same scenery as before.
By then, there will be a gap in the times that she can’t catch up with even if she wants to. She wants to develop, but she has no resources. She wants to plunder, but her combat power is too low and she will be beaten to death. I wonder how desperate she will be at that time?"
"You are so brave. If you commit suicide, I won't help you."
Zhongli frowned, wanting to seal this man away. An ordinary person had gained powerful strength, and had gradually lost himself in this powerful strength, thus losing his reverence for everything in the world. His mind was twisted, and if he continued like this, he would only end up in destruction.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Back then, foreign countries on Blue Star used this tactic against certain countries, corrupting some local officials and selling their country's rare resources at the same price as giving them away for free.
Two years ago, I felt uncomfortable looking at the bills for the batch of termites that were cleared out. You have no idea how much supplies those termites sent to foreign countries for free over the past 200 years.
Our Liyue specialty: Night Stone. Locally, it costs 1000 Mora per pound. One ton is 2000 pound, which costs 200 million Mora.
The batch of borers was sold at a price of 10 Mora per ton. They were all extremely transparent high-quality ores. As a result, it is basically impossible to find "Zhuzhao" level Yebo Stone now. Even if there is, it is almost astronomical.
Although most of them could not make up the difference and were punished, the materials they sent out could never be returned.”
"Then what's the difference between what you are going to do to Inazuma and what those people did?" Zhongli was slightly angry.
"There is no difference. I am very clear about what I am going to do. One thing is enough: Liyue is the beneficiary!" Lin Zixuan looked at Zhongli with a firm gaze.
It is unknown how many demon gods this Rock King killed for Liyue. As long as it is beneficial to Liyue, he will generally choose to wait and see. For a minor god like the Puppet General who has only been in office for 500 years, he can probably suppress it with a slap in the backhand.
"The most important thing is that I have not betrayed the will of the Thunder God, the eternal wish of the puppet general, and the faith of God is not so easily shaken. I just need to keep Inazuma far behind.
In fact, whether the plan fails or succeeds, it is a good thing for Inazuma. It's just that one progresses after several years, and the other progresses after hundreds of years.
If no one wakes her up, the country-destroying otaku girl will continue to sleep. It is very beneficial for Liyue to let her continue to be an otaku girl."
"Wrong logic." Zhongli suppressed his anger and drank his tea silently.
"I understand that all strategies are vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. Although there are already many countermeasures against the puppet Thunder God, I have to build the basic foundation of Liyue first."
The two idle guys chatted together for an entire afternoon, but unfortunately Mr. Yun didn't come.
......
The meditating puppet general far away in Inazuma suddenly opened his eyes.
He walked around aimlessly on the top floor of the castle tower for three hours, looking a little anxious.
The warriors on duty at the door were also confused. It was the first time they had seen General Raiden behave like this.
Chapter 35: The first large-scale use of Immortal Talisman technology
Mingyun Town.
"Uncle Fu, how is the training of the Xuanyuan team going?"
"Master, they have already mastered the techniques you taught them to reduce wind resistance by following a car, and the techniques of taking turns to lead the team. Coupled with the equipment we provided, their average speed is now more than twice that of ordinary vehicles. Even Liyue's fast horses can't catch up. This speed-changing bicycle is really too fast."
"After all, this type of bicycle is made purely for racing. Of course, ordinary people can also use it to quickly deliver some secret tokens. Our main production is still this type of comfortable mountain bike with suspension, as well as the second generation of cargo speed-shifting bicycles. Has the production line been handed over to Ningguang?"
"Everything has been delivered, and they are currently in emergency production. But, Master, isn't Ningguang really the Young Madam? Why does it feel like she is almost in charge of Xuanyuan Trading Company?"
"That's an illusion, she's just more useful." Lin Zixuan's eyes tilted to one side unnaturally, and then changed the subject. "Has anyone in the team done what I mentioned before?"
"Yes, that man used to be the blacksmith of Hanfeng Ironware, Lao Zhang. His explosive power is very terrifying. He led the way in riding for 60 kilometers and was able to burst out three times the strength of an ordinary person. The duration lasted for up to 6 minutes."
"Oh, did you finally recruit him? Because of what happened back then, his shop was smashed."
“It took almost half a year of persuasion before he agreed to bring his apprentice to Mingyun Town. According to the young master, if you can’t beat them, just join them. There’s nothing shameful about that.
He is currently obsessed with the development of new alloys and has created a number of special alloys. His name is now written into Liyue history, and Mingyun Town has also offered him the best salary and benefits. "
"That's good. He is really talented and should not be buried. But I did not expect his explosive power to be so strong. He is indeed a blacksmith with a good waist and strong strength. Uncle Fu, get him a red helmet with horns."
"Okay, but what's the point of this special helmet?"
“That day will give it special meaning.”
There are still seven days until May 1st.
During lunch break, in the Qun Yu Pavilion.
The interior had become a large corpse scene. The secretaries were sleeping on the tables and chairs, Ganyu was curled up in a corner, Ningguang was lying on the table, her face was full of fatigue, and her eyes were dark. There were also two stacks of documents half a meter high on the table.
They have been really hard-working during this period. I heard that Keqing has already started traveling around Teyvat. When she comes back to take over the Seven Stars, Ningguang should be able to relax a lot.
Lin Zixuan quietly came to Ningguang and picked up the document, which contained some personnel arrangements and personnel transfers. It also contained a lot of information about interpersonal relationships.
I was thinking too simply, and I just said I was going to recruit volunteers. This is not Blue Star, where community management is implemented and there are convenient tools like computers. These volunteers are uneven, and the review and verification requires a lot of manpower.
At the same time, not all of them can be used to help. If a 60-year-old female volunteer has to carry dozens of kilograms of supplies, or a 25-year-old healthy male volunteer has to clear leaves from the road, it would be a huge mess.
This is the first large-scale national competition in Liyue’s history, and six countries have arranged personnel to participate. It must be done well, otherwise it will become a laughing stock and affect Liyue’s reputation.
I can only sit next to them and wait for them to wake up. The second volume of "Inazuma's Strongest Ninja Madara" that Uncle Fu bought a few years ago has been released. I might as well take this time to read it.
At about 2:30 in the afternoon, the secretaries woke up one after another, and then found that there was an unexpected guest in the Qun Yu Pavilion. Bai Xiao hurriedly served tea. The host, Hei Yanquan Ningguang, also woke up slowly, and when she saw the extra person, she lay down on the table again.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. This time I need to borrow the emcee lady with the Wind Attribute Divine Eye from the General Affairs Department."
"Really?"
"Really? If we hold such a grand competition without spectators, do you think it's reasonable?"
"Why not? Aren't there seats prepared for hundreds of thousands of people?"
"The cyclists have all started from the Luhuachi Service Station, so the spectators at the Luhuachi Service Station can only sit on their chairs and wait for news? The spectators at the finish line will also have to sit on their stools and wait for several hours before they can see the cyclists."
"Well, it seems so!"
"When I was learning about immortal talismans from the immortal, I made a few things. Although due to the material problem, their lifespan is very short, only three days. But this is the real reason why I arranged this competition."
"What is the real confidence?"
Lin Zixuan took out a bunch of things from the space ring.
A wooden block with many holes on it;
An object similar to a magnetic storm coil;
a wooden prop in the shape of a trumpet;
An object similar to a video recorder;
Finally, there is a rectangular shelf with a very thick border.
At the same time, he took out a statue of the Emperor. He used the Wood Release Technique to close all the doors and windows, which startled the secretaries working around him and made them look over. Ningguang and Ganyu also realized that these things must be very important.
"This is my greatest masterpiece so far: the initial version of 'remote audio and video simultaneous interpretation technology'. In short: live broadcast. It is also the real confidence of Liyue to hold this event. In simple terms, it allows people in different places in Liyue to see the live game situation at the same time."
"!!!" The girls in the secretarial team were in an uproar. This is impossible! They kept discussing this kind of thing among themselves.
Lin Zixuan turned on the signal tower (magnetic storm coil), turned on the camera facing the secretaries (an item similar to a camera), and lit up the screen (wooden frame).
The wooden frame showed a ripple-like color. Although there was a little color difference, the color was still clearly visible and the faces of the secretaries were clearly displayed. As Lin Zixuan moved the camera, Ganyu and Ningguang appeared on the screen.
Picking up the microphone (the porous wooden block), "What do you think?" the voice came from the speaker-shaped object.
"Ah...this...!!!" The secretaries chattered about it and found it very magical.
Ningguang and Ganyu also came over and observed carefully, after all, they had also learned about immortal symbols. Especially on the wooden frame showing the water ripples, there were densely packed tiny immortal symbols.
Lin Zixuan disassembled these devices one by one. Basically, each of them had a small special wooden block, and the number of runes engraved on it was thousands of times that of ordinary talismans.
"Ordinary talisman paper cannot bear the energy of the talisman, so it often burns or becomes ineffective after use. I merged a lot of wooden materials to get this material that can bear tens of thousands of runes, but it still has a short service life. I need to find better materials in the future.
The signal tower covers a range of 20 kilometers, and a few more will be enough for this competition. In the future, more talents will be needed to carry out innovation and upgrading.
This technology can be used in many places and is currently the most important core technology of Liyue. After using it in this competition, it must be recovered without missing a single piece.
