Chapter 520 Mountain Bikes!
Xiao Yu also assigned all the children to be ranked according to age and seniority.
Elder brothers and sisters, take care of your younger brothers and sisters; younger brothers and sisters, respect your elder brothers and sisters.
They lost their homes and parents.
But now, it owns the entire Dragon City!
Hundreds of brothers and sisters!
When these children grow up, they will be an invincible and powerful team.
It was under Xiao Yu's careful guidance and healing that she was able to achieve this.
Now, just a few days later, these children have all been completely transformed.
Apart from a few introverted children, some have not completely overcome the trauma.
Most of the children have fully integrated into Longcheng and have recovered well in both their mental and physical state.
"However..." The two stayed at the orphanage for half an hour, greeting each child one by one, before leaving. After leaving the orphanage, Xiao Yu looked towards the academy again.
"Indeed... the new kids are better off at the academy."
Although he took good care of the children in the orphanage, their psychological trauma was quickly healed.
However, they are all orphans who have lost their parents and homes.
The hundreds of children who recently joined the city all have families and parents.
The two sides are in completely different circumstances, so it's inevitable that there will be some distance between them when they get along.
Next, Xiao Yu visited the bicycle factory and the sewing machine factory one by one.
There are also the planting and breeding areas where the newly arrived women work.
Just as Honglian said, these people were exploited too much in the Mechanical City before, so they are very hardworking.
Now that I've entered Dragon City, although I still have some bad habits that I can't get rid of, I can really endure hardship!
Moreover, the moment they saw Xiao Yu, everyone instinctively wanted to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude.
But Xiao Yu stopped them all and offered his condolences, reassuring them.
Previously, most of the thousands of people had never even met Xiao Yu, and were uncertain about their future fate.
But now, everyone is full of longing for life in Longcheng in the future.
"The people of the village have already integrated into Dragon City. However... brother, there is a problem now."
After bidding farewell to everyone, Honglian said with a worried expression, "Before, we didn't realize that bicycle production was too low, but now that production has increased, we've found that not everyone likes them. The main reason for this is that current bicycles are only suitable for flat ground, but the wilderness is full of potholes."
The bicycle is a magical means of transportation invented by Xiao Yu.
However, while bicycles are great, they require good road conditions to ride.
In the wilderness, where the roads are rugged and uneven, it's faster to run than to ride a bicycle.
Therefore, some people who spend a lot of time walking in the wilderness are not very interested in bicycles.
This has led to a stagnation in bicycle sales.
The key point is that bicycles have only just been invented, and their popularity is already starting to decline.
In the future, bicycles will likely become increasingly unpopular.
“This is indeed a problem, and it needs to be improved.” Xiao Yu nodded.
It's important to know that flat bikes and mountain bikes differ significantly in their structure.
First, the tires must be two to three times wider than those of a flatbed bicycle, and they must have strong enough grip.
However, cycling in the wilderness is already very tiring.
The tires are wider, resulting in better grip.
The effort required to ride a bicycle will increase dramatically, making it extremely strenuous.
Therefore, mountain bikes have a more complex structure and are made of more robust materials.
The cost of manufacturing a mountain bike is at least two to three times that of a regular mountain bike.
The price of a mountain bike starts at least at tens of thousands of energy stones!
“Even if we actually make a mountain bike, the price will be too high! So…” Xiao Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, “we still need to think of ways to promote bicycles and make them more popular.”
If the price is too high, not many people will buy it; you have to make customers feel they like it even more.
At this point, Xiao Yu looked up at the sky and saw that it was already past four in the afternoon. He then said, "This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first! It's getting late, we should go back for dinner."
Moreover, he had just received a telepathic message from the three beast-eared girls, and the three girls returned immediately.
Catwoman June also mentioned bringing her some nice things, which piqued Xiao Yu's curiosity.
At this moment, on Longcheng Avenue, two girls were riding bicycles at a brisk pace, their laughter echoing throughout.
"Hahaha...I won again this time!" The girl in black in front of him pedaled the pedals with her long legs, reaching a speed of over fifty kilometers per hour.
He pedaled incredibly fast, glancing back with a defiant look in his eyes.
"Hmph! Soha, slow down! Be careful not to bump into anyone!" the girl in white scolded from behind.
Despite saying that, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
The speed of pedaling did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it continued to increase.
"No way! I'm a great rider!" Soha pouted, grinning smugly. "Don't believe me? Look! I can ride faster than you without using my hands! Hahaha..."
As she spoke, she released her hands and let her feet kick rapidly.
The bicycle was still being driven incredibly fast.
She ran a bicycle, leaving a trail of afterimages.
But at this moment.
"Soh, watch out! There are people ahead!" Xue Qingcheng suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh?" Soha was taken aback and immediately turned to look ahead.
There were three figures in front of her bicycle: two women and a child.
Upon seeing this, Soha's expression changed drastically. He completely forgot to apply the brakes and instead screamed, "Oh no! We're going to hit someone! Quick, get out of the way!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the dragon head, trying to avoid the people in front of her.
With his other hand, he waved haphazardly at the three of them, signaling them to move aside.
But because they were so close, all three of them were startled.
After all, the three of them were family members of the thousands of mechanics in the Mechanized City, and they were all ordinary people.
This is a bicycle traveling at tens of kilometers per hour; the impact would have been enough to seriously injure them.
Two women grabbed the child and instinctively swayed from side to side, trying to get away.
Soha is also very nervous now, and when he gets nervous, the dragon head spins wildly from side to side.
Now, the bicycle traveled at an even higher speed and crashed directly into the person in front of it.
"Oh no, oh no!" Soha couldn't help but cover her pretty face, unable to bear looking at it.
But the next second, she suddenly blinked, her face showing a look of utter disbelief, and asked, "Where did everyone go?"
It turned out that it happened just in the instant before it hit the person.
An invisible force suddenly appeared out of nowhere and instantly teleported the three people in front of them away.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared.
"Lord City Lord?" Xue Qingcheng and the other two women immediately stopped the car and bowed in greeting.
"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded lightly, glancing at the three people who were still in shock not far away.
They were almost hit and killed, which gave them quite a fright.
At that moment, Honglian was there comforting the three of them.
"What were you doing just now?" Xiao Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Ah... Lord City Lord! It was all my fault just now!"
