Chapter 223: Falling Walnut (2-in-1)
Liyue Harbor, the "Hanfeng Ironware" blacksmith shop.
Li Qiu greeted them as they passed by the Adventurers' Guild and greeted Catherine, then walked down the wooden steps to the blacksmith shop below.
"Ping! Ping! Ping! ”
The black-haired old Zhang was hammering and hammering the iron ingots that burned red and became soft.
He didn't stop moving, and looked up at the person who came:
"You're here, wait for me to deal with this sword embryo, soon."
"Mmmm, we don't rush if you take your time." Paimon said with a slight wave of his hands. Ying nodded silently.
Li Qiuzhi got a little closer and looked at Lao Zhang's iron.
He had often watched Wagner strike iron before, so he could probably tell that Lao Zhang was forging the sword embryo of a one-handed sword.
In other words, if he also learns the forging technique, with the help of experience points, he should soon be able to forge a high-quality weapon that can be sold to others on his own.
Especially for four-star weapons, the income of a few million is still very high.
This way, you don't have to go out and risk to earn Mora!
Uh, no.
It's still necessary to take risks.,Don't go to fight monsters, where do you get the experience points to improve your skills.。
However, having said that, if you want to make money in the forging industry, it is actually similar to that of an adventurer.
After all, even blacksmiths like Wagner, who can build four-star weapons at the top of the industry, take more than ten days, and the price of more than five million yuan is two or three million after deducting half of the material cost.
On average, more than 100,000 per day, isn't it actually similar to Li Qiuzhi, who is already a top adventurer.
Receiving a more dangerous intermediate commission to clean up monsters, its commission fee is almost 100,000 to 200,000.
With his strength, it can basically be done in one day.
And there is also an income from experience points, so you don't have to focus on forging.
However, there is still a chance to learn it, after all, the ultimate of forging is a five-star weapon that is difficult for mortals to reach.
But if you think about it a little, you know that in order to elevate the forging technique to the level of being able to create a five-star weapon, the experience points required are massive.
Instead of that, it's better to improve yourself directly.
So you can only consider it when you run out of experience points.
During the time when Li Qiuzhi was thinking about it, Lao Zhang quickly built a complete sword embryo.
He simply quenched it with iron tweezers, then stopped what he was doing for a moment and went to the inside of the blacksmith's shop to push a bicycle out.
"Take a closer look, I built all the parts one by one according to the design drawings and put them together according to the steps above, there should be no problem."
It was the first time for Lao Zhang to create such a novelty, so even if he was experienced, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to achieve the effect on the design drawings.
"Okay, let's see."
Li Qiuzhi nodded, and together with Ying, he focused on the bicycle built by Lao Zhang.
It is similar to what Li Qiuzhi remembers.
The whole model has the appearance of a more retro bike on the planet, but it is a little smaller in size, and it still looks good.
The front of the car is a straight bar without any bending, and an iron handbrake is installed at both ends.
The brake cable is a few small iron wires that look more tough and twisted together, which is also the same as the bicycle on the earth, but there is no wire barrel protection.
The cushion seems to be made of leather, wrapped in a lot of cotton, and is very soft.
And it also perfectly restores the design of being able to adjust the height by itself.
In addition to this, the front of the car is equipped with a wooden basket, and the rear of the car also has a tailstock that can carry people.
These two are very practical designs and must have.
However, the tires are also wooden, which is a small pity in this regard.
"Let me try." Ying looked at the bicycle and said on a slight whim.
"Well, let's ride it around and see how it goes!"
Li Qiuzhi tapped his chin.
Holding the bike, Ying gently lifted one of her softly curved legs and straddled the soft saddle.
I felt its softness and found that it didn't feel too hard when pressed against the hips, and overall the comfort was okay.
She was wearing over-the-knee white heeled boots with her left foot on the ground, and her right foot was on the pedal, and with a slight shard on the bike, she began to move forward.
The wheels turn like a horse-drawn cart and make a "gurgling" sound.
"It seems like it's funny, and I'm going to sit too."
Paimon's curiosity came up as he watched Ying ride the bike, and he flew up and sat directly on the tailstock at the back of the car, his little hands pulling at the skirts on both sides of Ying's hips.
"Haha, how about I'm qualified in this craft?"
Lao Zhang looked at the things he made with his own hands, and he was a little surprised that he actually moved with two people so magically.
You know, when he put this bike together last night, he tried it himself, but he couldn't ride it at all, and he almost fell down several times.
At one point, he wondered if he had made a mistake.
For this reason, Lao Zhang hurriedly confirmed the details on the design drawings several times, and was relieved when he found that it was indeed correct.
"It looks great, it's a century-old brand that Liyue is famous for!"
Li Qiuzhi said affirmatively.
After coming back from two laps, Li Qiuzhi also gave it a simple try, and found that the shortcomings of the wooden wheel were mostly alleviated by the thick cushion.
The two continued to try a few more times, and after confirming that the bike had met the requirements, they happily paid for the forging of 150,000 mora.
"Is the next time to find a buyer?"
Paimon also seems to have finally understood that there is a market for this thing called a bicycle.
So he thought that after the traveler was developed, he also had an endless Mora, so he asked excitedly.
"Well, but who do you go to, or do you really want to ride a few laps around the bustling streets to attract the attention of those who have a keen sense of business opportunities?"
Ying looked at Li Qiuzhi with a sideways face, wanting to see what he thought.
"There's no need to be like this, no matter how powerful and discerning a businessman is, it's still much worse than that 'Heavenly Power Star' Ningguang."
Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.
Not only does she have the money, but she also has the power to control the economic development of Liyue, and there is really no one more suitable than her.
"The Seven Stars of Liyue? But didn't we just suspect that they had harmed the Rock King Emperor two days ago? ”
Paimon said with his hands behind his back, confused.
"Hey, little Paimon, you wouldn't really believe what the Fatui executive said, if it weren't for the 'No Taboo Basket' he gave us, I would have ignored him that day."
Li Qiuzhi looked at the stupid little Paimon, and really wanted to flick her forehead.
"Well, that Fatui must have said this to us for some purpose, now we can take this opportunity to talk about business by the way, observe the person of the 'Tianquan Star', and see if the murderer is really her."
Ying said in contemplation with one hand on her chest and the other against her chin.
"Okay, but can we easily meet a big man like that?"
Paimon found that he was indeed a little bit affected by the speculation that the "childe" said, which affected the direction of his thinking.
"Anyway, let's go to the General Affairs Department and ask first."
Li Qiuzhi also knew that Ningguang was not so easy to see, but the General Affairs Department must have a way to contact her.
Liyue Harbor.
Li Qiuzhi rode his bicycle through the crowded streets, and sat on the tailstock of the car with his legs together.
Swift forward and oncoming air lifted the hem of her white dress.
From bottom to top.
The snow-white thighs and bloomers are slightly exposed.
For this reason, Ying had to wrap her right hand around Li Qiuzhi's waist while pressing the skirt with her left hand.
"Wow, it's so fast, it's much more comfortable than flying by yourself, rush!"
Paimon was excited.
She was smaller and lighter, and sat perfectly on the basket at the front of the car without being a big burden on it.
For such a novel two-wheeled vehicle that can carry people, people walking on the street frequently look sideways.
"What is this? You can walk with two people without having to touch the ground? Looks so convenient! ”
It's an idea that inevitably pops into the mind of someone who sees a bicycle.
It is foreseeable that when the bicycle can be mass-produced and sold, it will not be sold.
Li Qiuzhi also feels very happy, because he has found the feeling of riding to school many years ago on this bicycle, which is really nostalgic.
"Stupid, don't ride so fast, be careful of hitting people!"
The golden hair in front of Ying's forehead was also blown by the wind, and the feeling of touching his eyes was a little uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to lay his face on Li Qiuzhi's back.
At the same time, the soft lips parted slightly in a reminder.
"Uh-huh, got it."
Li Qiuzhi said casually, but the speed of stepping on the pedal did not slow down.
Hall of the Dead.
Hu Tao, who had no business to do, lay bored on the tiled roof and stared straight into the sun, trying to spot the faint black dot that he had seen from it last time.
Unfortunately, those black spots don't often appear on the surface of the sun.
She thought with a slight disappointment.
"Emperor Iwawang was killed inexplicably, and now the people on the street are full of sadness, I hope everyone will come out of this sadness as soon as possible."
Hu Tao propped up his upper body, straightened the somewhat crooked Qiankun Tai hexagram hat on his head, and cast his eyes on the people on the street below.
"Anyway, I don't know if the Afterlife Hall has a chance to undertake the funeral of the emperor, oh, no, the emperor is a god and immortal, it should be said that it is a 'sending immortal ceremony'.
"However, the truth about the Emperor's murder has not yet been investigated, so Liyue Qixing probably won't have time to worry about this."
As she was thinking this, she suddenly saw a two-wheeled vehicle speeding through the street.
"Huh?" Hu Tao raised his eyebrows, his pupils like plum blossoms revealing a thoughtful look, "Wheels like carriages, can carry two people, what kind of novelty is this?!" ”
An expression of interest suddenly appeared on her fair face.
"Hey!"
Hu Tao chuckled, stood up and jumped straight off the roof.
Li Qiuzhi looked at the figure in front of him who suddenly jumped down to block the front, and hurriedly clenched the handbrakes on the left and right sides.
The rolling wooden wheel immediately stopped rotating.
However, even if the wooden tires are equipped with special treatment to increase friction, the response distance will still be about one meter in the galloping state.
Normally, it is a passing grade, but it is a bit dangerous if a person suddenly appears in the middle of the gallop.
"Wow, hurry up and stop and you're going to crash!"
Paimon was so anxious that he forgot that he could fly, so he could dodge it in advance.
The next second.
The bike suddenly stopped.
Paimon, who was sitting in the basket of the car, was thrown out of the way, and then sat back as if he had hit something soft.
"Huh?"
Hu Tao stopped the two-wheeler while pressing the front of it, patted the clothes on his lower abdomen and said with a smile:
"Hehe, I'm sorry to stop you suddenly, the main thing is that your car looks too interesting, I want to find out how you got here, I want one too!"
Li Qiuzhi looked at the girl who stopped them in front of him.
She wears a round hat with red plum blossoms on the side, and long reddish-brown hair in two ponytails extending from underneath.
There was a hint of quirky playfulness on his fair face.
He wears a robe with a Liyue-style pattern and a long back hem, the color of which is about the same as his hair, and his eyes look like plum blossoms.
She wears black shorts on her lower body, and her snow-white and soft legs are exposed.
On his feet were socks decorated with plum blossoms up to his fair calves, and he wore small leather shoes of the same color.
Walnut!
A name jumped out directly in Li Qiuzhi's heart.
In the plot of the game, Li Qiuzhi learned that she was usually a girl who was a bit freewheeling and liked to play pranks, so it was no wonder that she would suddenly appear out of nowhere to stop them.
"You are?"
Ying stepped down from the tailframe, crossed over and looked at her with some dissatisfaction with her amber pupils.
Do you know it's dangerous, they thought they almost hit someone!
"Uh-huh~ Hu Tao, the master of the Hall of Death, is himself!"
Hu Tao withdrew his white hand that stretched out from his cuffs, and his nails were painted with black nail polish, patted his chest that was only slightly undulating, and smiled to himself as if he didn't see Ying's dissatisfaction.
"Okay, Miss Hu Tao, this bike is our design, there is only one for the time being, if you want it, please wait a while, it will be mass-produced later."
Li Qiuzhi was quite happy to introduce Hu Tao.
"Ah, so I can't buy it now."
Hu Tao hugged her arms, her two wide sleeves like a curtain covering her lower abdomen, her face showed a little loss at first, and then her eyes continued to focus on the bike:
"Hehe, how about selling me a bicycle or your self?"
It's rare to meet such an interesting thing, and she doesn't want to give up.
"This can't be done, we still have to use it to talk to that 'Tianquan Star' Lord about business now."
Paimon vetoes Hu Tao's idea of affecting her freedom to "feast".
"Looking for Ningguang to talk about business? I see, this parish master is the most proficient, or I will accompany you, and after the deed is completed, you can borrow me a bicycle for two days. ”
Hu Tao said entanglemently.
