Chapter 768: Keli

Qin didn't understand how to operate a train, but this reward was hers anyway.

So she still had plenty of permissions.

Under her guidance,

Albedo and Sugar toured the interior structure of the train.

In this way,

both of them gained a direct understanding of the train.

Not long after, the three arrived at the frontmost control room.

"This is where the train is controlled—you can study it!"

Qin said to the two.

This was also information she had learned from comics.

But how exactly to operate it, she didn't know.

"Mm!"

Albedo nodded, then began studying it.

But soon his face wrinkled in frown.

Although his alchemical expertise was considerable,

clearly this was entirely different from driving skills.

Especially the rows of buttons in the control room left Albedo bewildered.

Without systematic understanding, grasping it in a short time was truly too difficult…

"Chief Qin, I can't figure this out yet."

After a long while, Albedo shook his head helplessly.

But then he added another sentence.

"However, if you give me more time to take apart Unit 02 and study it carefully, there might still be a chance."

"Better not…"

Qin's lip twitched.

Time wasn't an issue.

She could wait.

But dismantling the train was unnecessary.

This thing was so precious,

if it got damaged, she'd have nowhere to cry.

"Looks like we can only try our luck at the boss's place!"

Qin sighed.

If the boss could provide the train, he should also have knowledge about it.

"The comic shop? That's actually a good idea!"

Albedo nodded, resting his chin on his hand.

Although he had always been immersed in research,

he had still heard of the comic shop.

Many people in Mondstadt had discussed it before.

Saying that reading comics could grant miraculous rewards.

He hadn't paid attention then.

Until later, Lisa found him.

She wanted him to research using Shi Laimu to generate electricity and store it to charge her computer.

That was his first formal encounter with the comic shop.

But it hadn't been deeply impressed on him.

And now, brought here by Qin and seeing this massive train before him,

Albedo truly realized the wonder of that comic shop!

Thinking of this, he felt a strong urge to go and see it.

Perhaps there were many other alchemical objects similar to the train there.

Maybe, with good luck, he could get one back to study!

Thinking of this, Albedo turned to Sugar and said:

"Sugar, I'm going to check out that comic shop—want to come with me?"

"Mm-mm!"

Sugar nodded eagerly.

She was very interested in that comic shop too.

Moreover, she wanted to find the boss and ask him about driving.

Although it was her first time seeing a train, she was deeply drawn to it.

She had a feeling it would change Mondstadt!

Even all of Teyvat!

So she wanted to contribute!

"That works—maybe you'll get a great reward if you're lucky!"

Qin smiled, then gave them the address of the comic shop.

"Then let's go right now!"

After nodding, Albedo left with Sugar.

……

Jieyou Bookshop.

At this moment, Alice and Little Keli, mother and daughter, had also finished reading the manga.

"Mom, why does Doraemon always find Shizuka taking a bath when he goes to see her?"

After closing the manga, Little Keli looked curious.

Once or twice might be fine,

but it happens so often that she now felt something was off.

"Maybe Doraemon is helping Nobita cheat?"

Alice speculated.

Doraemon comes from the future, so he knows Shizuka will eventually be with Dekisugi.

To help Nobita successfully marry Shizuka, he uses various gadgets to make Nobita see her bathing, so he'll feel obligated?

Otherwise,

how could Shizuka, a goddess, possibly choose someone as unremarkable as Nobita?

Of course, this was just her own thought.

It might simply be that Shizuka loves baths too much.

After all, it really feels wonderful!

"Forget about that—come on, let's go ask the owner for our reward!"

Shaking her head, Alice grew excited.
