Chapter 47 Harold: I never thought that in my lifetime...

"Huh? Harold! You're here so early. I thought you would wait until we finish cooking!" Kavi greeted him warmly.

Why does my junior classmate look so stunned when he sees a bicycle?

Didn't you expect that I could make it so beautiful?

Thinking of this, Kavi felt very proud.

"Look at this, I made it! It perfectly reproduces the content on the drawing. Time was a bit tight, and the master in the blacksmith shop didn't have time to make some parts, otherwise I would have done better!

I also want to install a bell on it so that other pedestrians on the road will know that a bicycle is coming, and they can pay attention to avoid it and avoid a collision.

But the bell and basket are not ready yet. I will install them after he finishes them in a few days," Kavi excitedly introduced his work to Harold.

"I also added two training wheels based on the blueprint, because after I made it according to the blueprint, I found that it might be difficult to maintain balance when riding it for the first time, and it would be easy to fall..." Speaking of this, Kavi couldn't help but touch his butt.

When Kavi thought about the two times he fell, he felt his butt start to hurt again.

After making the bicycle, he tried it himself to test its performance and safety. He almost fell several times due to losing balance.

Although he used his feet to support himself in time every time he was about to fall, two accidents still happened.

Alas, theoretically this situation will not occur when riding a bicycle, but for beginners, it is still difficult to find the trick immediately.

After all, today is Elhaisen's birthday. This car is a birthday surprise given to Elhaisen by him and Haroldt. It would be rude to let Elhaisen fail on his birthday. He hopes that Elhaisen can use the car immediately after he gets it.

He thought about it for a while and found that the problem could be solved by installing training wheels on the rear wheel. With these two training wheels, even a child could ride a bike on the road immediately.

Oh my god, I'm so smart!

Harold and Alhazen will definitely like my design!

Harold also came back to his senses at this time, feeling a little amused and helpless. To Kavi and Elhaisen, this bicycle looked like there might be nothing wrong with it, and the training wheels were indeed very helpful for beginners.

But the problem is, he is a time traveler, and his first reaction when he saw the bicycle was: Isn’t this a children’s bicycle?

Will I ever see Xumi Bking riding a children's bicycle in my lifetime? !

...I won’t be assassinated by Haitui, right?

Fortunately, I wore it, so no one knows I did it, and even if they do, they can’t do anything to me.

so far so good...

"Harold, do you want to try it too?" Kavi put his hands on his hips with a confident smile on his face. "It's very simple. I have modified it. You can ride it without worrying about falling. I have tried it myself and there is absolutely no problem!"

Already tried...

Oops, I have that image in my mind.

Harold covered his mouth with his hands, pretending to be thinking, but in fact he was hiding the corners of his mouth that were curling up wildly.

In his previous life, when he was in elementary school, he spent three hours learning to ride a bicycle and had never used a bicycle with training wheels.

... Picture Kawi riding a kid’s bike.

No, I have to hold it in! I can't laugh!

How can I laugh when he is so sweet?!

Harold coughed lightly and said, "No need, senior, this is our birthday gift for Senior Elhaisen, so of course we have to let Senior Elhaisen try it first."

"Well... you're right. I'll make one for you in a few days. Alas, time is too tight, otherwise I would definitely make one more," Kavi said in annoyance.

"Has Senior Elhaisen seen this?" Harold asked curiously. He really wanted to know what Elhaisen's reaction was.

"Of course, he was interested, and I said it was a gift from you and me, so if he wanted to get in the car and try it, he had to wait until you got here," said Kavey.

Harold smiled and nodded.

Yes, Elhaisen has always been interested in things that can make his life more convenient.

"He's cooking now, but I have to wait until he finishes before I can use the kitchen. Does he really not trust my cooking skills? I specially improved the recipe for his birthday, but he doesn't believe me!" Kavi muttered in dissatisfaction.

"I'm done. Now it's your turn to use my kitchen to show us your cooking skills," Elhaisen came out and looked at Haroldt, "Hmm? Today we're half an hour early. Are you looking forward to it?"

"Of course, this is my first time attending my senior's birthday party since I arrived in Xumi, and I have made a lot of preparations," Harold smiled and raised his arms to show Elhaisen the gift box and cake in his hands.

Especially after Kawi made the bicycle, he was even more excited.

"Really?" Elhaisen raised the corner of his mouth.

"We'll talk about the cooking demonstration later. Now that Harold is here, come and try it out," Kavi pushed the bicycle in front of Elhaisen, "Do you know how to ride it? Do you want me to show you in person?"

"Actually, senior, you want to try riding it again, right?" Harold couldn't help but say.

They all have training wheels, so shouldn’t monkeys be able to use them?

"Well, how could that be? I made the bike. If I want to ride it, why not just make one for myself?" Kavi quickly denied.

Due to lack of time, I only had time to make one.

Harold thought to himself, but he did not expose Kavi's shortcomings at this time.

"-El Haisen, come and try it, we are all waiting to see," Kavi urged.

Haroldt's words hit upon his secret, and he spoke a little faster.

Under the gaze of the two men, Elhaisen rode his bike and circled in front of his house.

Kavi supported his chin with one hand and smiled complacently, thinking that my transformation really worked, and El Haisen didn't fall. Great! It will definitely be an unforgettable birthday for El Haisen to receive such a good gift.

Just the thought of falling made his buttocks hurt a little.

Harold pursed his lips throughout.

Can't laugh.

Hold back!

Think about sad things.

Why don't I have a system? It's a pity that I can't secretly take a picture of this scene.

After turning around twice, Elhaisen parked the car back to its original position.

“Very convenient,” Elhaisen commented.

It is faster and less labor-intensive than walking, and is indeed a good means of transportation.

"That's right!" It was rare to hear Elhaisen praise his work. Kavi was in a very good mood and began to continue introducing his inventions to the two.

"I also made some modifications based on the bicycle, but due to time constraints, I was unable to make the actual product, so I will just tell you about my ideas first," Kavi chattered on.

Kawi: "I want to change the two-wheeler into a three-wheeler, one in front and two in the back, and add a seat to the back wheel..."

Harold:?!

It's a tricycle, right?!

Kawi: "After this modification, I can put wood or plants on the seat. It will be much more convenient to transport things to the construction site. I don't have to find someone to help me carry things in the future..."

Harold appeared calm on the surface, but he was complaining madly in his heart.

Very good, after Xumi Bking riding a children’s bicycle, I will be fortunate enough to see the “Light of the Myo-lun School” riding a tricycle in my lifetime.

"And if this kind of car can be mass-produced, my employer can save the money of hiring people to move materials, and the budget for the construction itself can be increased. As long as the budget is sufficient, I can definitely design more and better works!" Kavi said happily.

"I think that in addition to transporting goods, this kind of vehicle can also be used to carry people. If you want to go somewhere in the future, let me know in advance and I can take you there on my bike. Although you will all have bicycles by then, the experience of riding a bike by yourself and having a senior take you there is completely different!"

Facing Kavi's cordial invitation, Harold had no choice but to say yes with a smile. But because of his memories from his past life, he didn't really want to ride a tricycle, as he always felt a little ashamed.

Even though he knew that no one would laugh at them for this in the continent of Teyvat where there were no bicycles, the people of Teyvat would instead be envious of them for having this new means of transportation.

Kavi continued, "Besides that, I have thought of another bicycle that can be used to carry people. I can modify it into a three-wheeled or four-wheeled bicycle, and then install a wheeled carriage on each side of the bicycle. Then you can sit on one side, and I will take you around Xumi City to see the scenery."

This sounds a bit like a Japanese motorcycle...

Harold couldn't help but imagine the scene, Kavi riding a tricycle, he and Elhaisen sitting in the two compartments on both sides...

Then he realized that this thing couldn't be thought about too much.

Kavi raised his head and proudly showed his juniors several modification ideas that he had thought of in just one and a half days: "If you want to sit on the same side, I can think of a way to make a single-sided carriage. As long as I plan the position of the wheels, it can keep balance. Let me think about it, this should not be difficult.

If you also want to experience the fun of riding a bike, I also thought of connecting three bikes side by side so that we can ride together. However, if I do this, I am worried that one of you will do something bad behind you. I don’t want a good outing to turn into a traffic accident. "

Kavi shook his head.

Is this one of those multi-person bicycles in scenic spots?

That's not bad. In my previous life, I really enjoyed riding that bike with my college roommates. It's fun to ride it occasionally, Harold thought.

"Of course, it can also be made into a four-wheeler with four pedals, and a bench at the back, so that only two people can operate it, and the remaining person can sit in the back to rest. The advantage of this design is that if someone gets tired of riding, they can replace him at any time, and a sunshade can be installed on the top, which is definitely very comfortable to sit on..." said Kavi.

Well...it’s the parent-child sightseeing bus in the scenic area.

Haroldt had to admire Kavi's divergent thinking. In just a day and a half, he was able to get inspiration from the bicycle and come up with so many modification ideas. He almost simulated all the rickshaws he had seen in his previous life.

But compared to these, he wanted mountain bikes and sand bikes more. After all, his time in Xumi City was limited, his series of research was focused on the city, and he would definitely need to go to the desert in the future.

Compared with various sightseeing vehicles, he needed these two special bicycles more. But he could talk to Kaviti about these later. It would be a pity not to interrupt his showing off now.

Elhaisen was noncommittal: "I really admire your idea. Is this how an artist's talent manifests itself in mechanical modification?"

"Senior Elhaisen, you are just as talented in pouring cold water on others," Harold twitched his lips.

It's clearly a compliment, why does it sound so sarcastic?

"That's right! Can you please speak properly?" With Harold's support, Kavi was not angry this time. He just snorted and pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Forget it. Today is your birthday. Senior, I won't bother with you. Come in. I'll show you how an excellent artist turns food into a work of art."

"If I remember correctly, this seems to be my house," said Elhaisen.

Kavi: “So what?”

Elhaisen said "hmm" very lightly, and without saying anything else, he let both of them into his home.

As soon as Kavi entered the house, he went straight to the kitchen, picked up the apron used by Elhaisen and tied it around his waist with ease.

Harold placed the cake and gift box on the table in the living room, looked at Elhaisen and asked, "Senior Elhaisen, do you want to open the gifts now? Or should we wait until Senior Kavi finishes cooking?"

"Right now, I'm also curious about your other surprise."

Elhaisen said as he slowly opened the gift box and took out a bag of freeze-dried Dun Dun peaches.

The overly cute Q-version hillbillies and slimes on the packaging bag made him hesitate for a moment, then he opened the package.

In fact, the packaging bag style chosen by Dolly is already at the forefront of fashion in the continent of Teyvat, but to Harold, who was a graphic designer in his previous life, it still looks tacky.

Judging from Elhaisen's reaction, he didn't like it. Oh no, this guy probably doesn't have any requirements for packaging.

Harold: "Dun Dun Peach freeze-dried fruit is different from ordinary dried fruit. It is a new product created by Dolly and I. It is not sold in Xumi yet, but it will become the most popular snack in Teyvat in no time.

That's for the future. What you have now is the first product, which I got through Dolly's connections. It might be out of print in the future. I gave you a few more packs for Senior Elhaisen's birthday. Otherwise, I should have split these in half between you and Senior Kawi."

Although he knew that Elhaisen would not do that, Harold still added: "If you don't eat it, you can keep it. It will definitely appreciate in value in the future, and there will be collectors willing to pay a high price for it."

Elhaisen took a piece of freeze-dried food and put it in his mouth, then listened quietly.

After Haroldt finished speaking, he picked out a part of Haroldt's long speech that he was more concerned about: "Have you reached a cooperative relationship with Dolly?"

"Yes, currently we are only focusing on the sales of freeze-dried fruits. In the future..." Haroldt thought about it. It depends on the completion of his first project.

There is also the issue of King Xiaojixiangcao’s future policies. Currently, the Ministry of Education still has very strict control over some things.

Moreover, he had received funding from the House of Ordinances. The 20% profit from freeze-dried fruits was a huge sum, enough to make up for the financial losses from the research on sea rice. He had also bought almost all the necessary equipment. He probably wouldn't have any business dealings with Dolly in the near future.
