LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

After a lunch, everyone came outside to enjoy the scenery after the rain.

At this time, many of the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, but the sky is not that bright. Because of the rain, the air cannot be heated even if it wants to.

On the contrary, there is a coolness. After a heavy rain, you can see traces of water everywhere, as if the world has been washed away.

The atmosphere was great, and the moment was surprisingly peaceful. Everyone looked at the scenery in front of them, and no one hated rainy days.

It's just a pity that I can't practice on the bicycle.

There is water everywhere now and it is wet. If you fall during practice, your clothes will definitely be dirty.

The practice plan has been postponed, and I don’t know what to do at the moment.

Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "Pack up and get ready to go to the street."

In fact, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

After all, it is easy to lose track of time when playing mahjong. Several girls were not convinced, so they pulled Lu Qi to play a few more rounds.

Lunch time was naturally delayed for a while.

In addition, it takes a while to prepare lunch, and noon is already gone after eating.

Lu Qi went to the street to do some shopping. Recently, there are more people eating at home, and the ingredients are being used up very quickly, so a new batch needs to be brought in.

He is also planning to purchase some medicinal materials this time, including silver needles for acupuncture.

There were a lot of things to buy, and he also wanted to visit Navis.

After making the decision, we were ready to leave.

Sona didn't want to go to a crowded place, so she wanted to stay at home.

Fiona thought for a while and decided to stay with her.

So the only people traveling were Luqi, Lux, Kashina and Yuerna.

But just to purchase some things, of course, there is no need to send out all the staff.

"Set off!"

After some preparations, Lu Qi gave an order and the carriage started to move directly.

On the way, Lu Qi opened the carriage curtain and looked outside.

The street drainage system in Wangdu is very good, but the roads were wet. It rained heavily this morning, but it basically did not cause any traffic obstruction.

However, the drainage system is excellent, partly due to the high terrain of the royal capital. The city almost stands on the side of a mountain, and the buildings are taller than the other.

It's just that because the royal capital is so big, it's not easy to feel it. For example, the palace is actually built on a high point.

On the streets of Wangdu, you can see the entrance to an underground waterway basically every few streets. These underground waterways are connected to a large river, and this river is connected to the sea.

Even though it had just rained, there were still people coming and going on the streets at this moment.

Lu Qi also saw a newspaper. At a street stall, a customer was sitting there, obviously holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it.

He turned back and asked Kashina: "How are the newspaper sales recently?"

The newspaper started publishing near the Church of the Illuminator. It was published free of charge for three days, and then started a paid model yesterday.

Today is already the second day.

Hearing Lu Qi's question, Kashina replied: "During the period when newspapers were free, many people came, and the supply exceeded demand basically every morning. People who were nearby came by themselves without waiting for us to distribute them."

"But after changing to the paid model, I can feel that customers' desire to buy newspapers has dropped significantly. Although they can still be sold out every day, the speed is much slower."

When she said that, her tone was a little worried.

I wonder if something is wrong.

If this continues, a large number of newspapers will be printed every day and they will not be sold, and no one will buy them, which will result in a huge loss.

Lu Qi smiled after hearing this: "It's okay, it's normal."

After all, no one's money comes from the strong wind. When something is related to money, everyone who sees it will give it serious consideration.

There is also an obvious reason why residents have less desire to buy newspapers.

That's the content.

The first few issues of the newspaper, which were published for free, recorded some trivial things that the Illuminators collected from the people.

If it had always been like this, people would still be able to buy it freshly in the beginning.

At the end of the day, I’m afraid no one is willing to spend two copper coins to buy a piece of paper and come back to read a bunch of nonsense.

So hot spot support is needed at this time.

Just like those celebrities in previous lives, they are existences that are out of reach for ordinary people, so whenever something big or small happens to them, the whole world can't wait to pay attention.

The same is true in this world.

It's just that the celebrities have been replaced by nobles, and the latter are also out of reach for common people.

Not to mention the great nobles. It is a great honor for a commoner to occasionally speak to a great noble.

When nobility becomes a gimmick, isn't it a hot spot?

There is also official information, which has never been a problem. Lu Qi just has to go and talk to his aunt.

But this will have to wait until the day when the newspaper is officially published.

The second is marketing.

For a product, aside from the quality itself, the most important thing is its marketing.

Just like perfume, owning a bottle of perfume is synonymous with sophistication for women. With this marketing, all women are rushing to buy it.

The same goes for newspapers. When everyone wakes up in the morning and reads a newspaper, it becomes a trend of the times. If you don't buy a newspaper, you are out of tune.

This is the mass effect.

Of course, this is marketing for the masses, and there are several other ways of marketing. There is no need to talk about them one by one now.

Therefore, Kashina's worries are unnecessary.

There was no problem, it was just that Lu Qi's steps had not yet been implemented.

Looking at Lux who was happily holding a bunch of candied haws next to her, Lu Qi smiled.

But it’s almost time to put it into practice.

Lux, seeing Lu Qi's gaze, tilted her head in confusion.

She didn't realize what cruel things would happen next for her.

After some time.

As the carriage slowly stopped, Urna in front said: "Your Highness, the Church of the Illuminator has arrived."

Hearing this, the three of them got out of the carriage.

Lu Qi hasn't been to the Illuminator Church for a while. Now that the newspaper is getting closer and closer, he naturally wants to take a look.

Moreover, the children in the church will also be the main force in delivering newspapers in the future.

As soon as we got off the carriage, we could see a lot of people gathered around the church.

The children were there, learning to ride bicycles in pairs, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not. They were not afraid if they fell, they got up and continued learning.

Playing and learning at the same time, very happy.

More than one bicycle was made, but one was sent to Lu Qi.

The rest was naturally distributed to the three Illuminator churches and some adults who had been found in advance and were willing to deliver newspapers.

These are basically people helped by the Illuminator Church. They have some physical disabilities and are not suitable for most jobs.

But learning to ride a bicycle is not difficult, so it is within their capabilities.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

At this time, as soon as Lu Qi and the others got off the carriage, several children ran over.

It was Moff and the others. They were dirty at the moment, but they were very happy to see Lu Qi.

"good afternoon!"

Then Mofu saw Lux next to him, and greeted with a smile: "And sister idiot, have a good afternoon!"

Lux suddenly became unhappy and said, "Who are you calling a stupid sister?"

She picked up the candied haws in her hand like a treasure.

The red candied haws instantly attracted the attention of several children.

Their eyes moved up and down along with the candied haws.

Even Moff couldn't help but swallow.

Seeing this, Lux smiled proudly: "Do you want to eat?"

Mofu and several children nodded according to their hearts.

So Lux showed a beautiful smile: "Then tell your truth."

The smart Moff immediately understood what she meant.

After hesitating for a long time, facing the huge temptation of candied haws, he decided to speak without conscience.

"Sister Crown Guard is smart and smart. At first glance, she looks like a gentle, generous and kind-hearted girl."

"Sister Crown Guard is so beautiful!"

"Sister Crown Guard is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the world!"

Each of the several children spoke one sentence each. They were children themselves and did not have much vocabulary, so they racked their brains to say each sentence.

Lux was a little proud when she said this. She glanced at the expectant eyes of Mofu's children, snorted, and bit down on the candied haws.

"I won't give it to you guys to eat!"

Mofu and the others were stunned for a moment. At this moment, they understood what it means to have a sinister heart.

When Lux saw their dull eyes, she put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha!"

The laughter was full of vindictive pleasure, just like a child's.

The eyes of several children turned resentful.

"Okay, stop teasing them."

Lu Qi glanced at Lux helplessly and said to Moff, "Go and call everyone over."

Moff nodded, glared at Lux, turned around and ran away.

Lux, on the other hand, was still eating the candied haws proudly, and said to Lu Qi: "You heard, right? What do these children think of me?"

"That's right, that's right. He's gentle and generous, and kind-hearted. At first glance, he doesn't lie to children."

Lu Qi chuckled.

Lux snorted: "Who told him to call me stupid sister."

Kasina looked on with a helpless smile on her face. She looked back and forth between Lux and Luqi.

I don’t know why, but I always feel like Lux is becoming more and more like His Highness, and I’m getting bad after following him all day long.

After a while, Moff called all the children in the church over. He was now the boss and gave an order to all the children to get their seats.

They stood scattered around, all looking at Lu Qi eagerly, not knowing why.

Lu Qi glanced at Yourna and said with a smile, "Take them all out."

Yourna took down a box from the carriage, and when she opened it, there were bunches of candied haws in it.

Because in summer, candied haws will melt easily if you don’t eat them all in a day, and putting them in the refrigerator will affect the taste.

So basically everything is cooked and eaten on the same day.

It’s easy to make, so Lucci makes some every day.

Thinking of coming to church today, I made a lot of preparations in advance.

It was when Lux saw this that she went to tease Moff and the other children.

In fact, Lucci has prepared it for every child, including the illuminators in the church.

"Wow"

When the children looked at the large box full of candied haws, their eyes lit up and they almost drooled.

No child can refuse candied haws.

Soon, all the candied haws were distributed.

As the sweet and sour taste of candied haws spreads in the mouth, every child's face is filled with smiles, and the atmosphere outside the church is full of joy.

When they eat candied haws, the further they get to the back, the slower they eat and the more reluctant they are to part with it.

After eating, even if they saw there was still more, the children didn’t ask for any more.

They are sensible beyond their age and know that no one will indulge their willfulness.

Lu Qi then said to the children: "Whoever learns to ride a bicycle first can come and get another one."

The rest is all extra, and it’s not good to give it to anyone. It’s better to let the children fight for it themselves.

As soon as they heard this, the children were eager to learn to ride bicycles.

Of course, the scene became chaotic, and there were not enough bicycles for each person.

Some people don't want to stay in a team of two, so Moff will go up to maintain order.

Although he was not very old, he obviously had a bit of dignity in him, and the children would not dare to mess around at that point.

He was also the first to receive the candied haws.

I heard that I learned it not long after the bicycle was issued.

After receiving the candied haws, he gave half of it to a little girl who had been following him, and ate two of them himself.

This little girl heard that he had suffered the same fate, so Moff always treated her as his sister.

Lu Qi thought this was good. At least the two of them had each other's company.

Candied haws on a stick are a bit more precious right now because they are only available in Luqi.

But it won't be long before it appears in the streets of Demacia just like bicycles.

After the remaining candied haws were distributed, Lu Qi and the others sat back on the carriage and prepared to leave.

As the carriage started to move, the children also noticed it, and they waved goodbye vigorously.

Even at their age, they understood at this moment that the man sitting in the carriage had done something that meant a lot to them.

The second stop of the carriage was to the workshop.

The workshop moved to a new address, which was found by the director of the Research Institute. The place is larger and can accommodate many people.

Whether it's a bicycle or an improved printing press, they all come from here.

As the carriage stopped, a group of personnel from the scientific research institute also came out to greet them.

Among them, the two siblings, Meili and Kesen, were the fastest sprinters.

Like pugs that have smelled sausages, they flashed in front of Lu Qi, with flattering and touching smiles on their faces.

"His Royal Highness! It's like not seeing you for one day, it feels like three autumns!"

"Your Highness! The days I didn't see you were spent counting the tears on my pillow!"

Seeing these two actors getting more and more outrageous.

Lu Qi also waved his hand: "Let's go."

"okay."

The two ran away quickly, and followed them at a distance that would not upset Lu Qi.

The reason why they are like this is also very simple, except that Luqi itself is very fragrant.

Recently, because of his relationship, the two of them successfully got their names in the scientific research institute.

You know, even the eldest son Jared may not be able to get a name in the scientific research institute at this age.

But they did it!

Being named in the scientific research institute is nothing short of a great joy for the two men of the Menke family.

And with Navis, they can even hold their heads high in front of Jared.

It was rare for him to be tough in front of the elders of the Menke family.

All this is thanks to Lu Qi.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fifteen rounds of the Menke family that day changed their destiny.

At this time, Navis learned the news of Lu Qi's arrival and trotted out to greet him.

"Your Highness."

Standing in front of Lu Qi, Navis lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing her, even Lu Qi was slightly startled, but he quickly came to his senses.

Lux was stunned for a moment, thinking she had recognized the wrong person.

At this time, it can be said that Navis has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The big round glasses that obscured 90% of her appearance were taken off, revealing her small and delicate face.

There is pure light makeup on it, and her big eyes are very bright and attractive. At this moment, her long eyelashes are trembling, and her reddish face looks even cuter.

Her hairstyle has also been specially combed. It is no longer the braided braid of the local girl before, but naturally falls on both sides and is slightly curled.

Coupled with the ill-fitting white scientific research robe on her body, she gave people the impression that she looked powerful, but she was a lolita with a small body.

He glanced back at Meili.

Meili said proudly: "Your Highness, what do you think? This is my work!"

She just saw that Navis wore big, rigid glasses and a rustic ponytail all day long. How could she attract His Highness's attention?

So, a bold idea came to my mind.

So, they quietly carried out the Navis modification plan, preparing to surprise Lu Qi.

This change scared even herself.

She didn't even know that her sister could be so delicate.

Looking at it now, Lu Qi was not very surprised, but Miss Crown Guard was surprised.

Looking at Navis who lowered her head in front of her, a little shy.

Lu Qi yelled at Lux who was stunned at the side: "Did you see it? This is the reversal, the reversal I said at the beginning."

Lux came back to her senses, looked at Navis in front of her, and remembered that Lu Qi did say such a thing at that time.

What is needed is a reversal.

Thinking of how Navis often dressed before.

Lux also understood the meaning of reversal at this moment.

When Lu Qi took off Navis' big glasses, she noticed that Navis was a very cute girl.

Now that she is dressed up exquisitely, she can simply be described as stunning.

Kashina already knows about it because she comes often and has known Navis for so long.

Lu Qi noticed a problem at this time and asked strangely: "Don't you need to wear glasses?"

It is a joyful thing that Navis is finally willing to take off her big, ugly glasses.

Although if Lu Qi had given the order at that time, Navis, with her character, would definitely have followed it.

However, Lu Qi didn't do this. He was thinking that maybe it was because Navis's eyes were very short-sighted.

Now it was discovered that Navis, who had taken off her big glasses, did not wear any other glasses and seemed not to be affected.

Hearing Lu Qi's question, Navis nodded and whispered sheepishly: "No need."

"Then why did you wear those big glasses all day long?"

"Because it's very comfortable to wear it without having to look at others."

"."

After hearing Navis's answer, Lu Qi fell silent.

He almost forgot that there is another word in this world called social fear.

Obviously, Navis is at least less socially fearful now.
