Star Rail, I Open a Small Shop on the Train – Chapter 536
Ch 536: Amber: Charge!
Xing, Lumine, Nicole, Kiana, Anbi, and Billy lined up at the railing.
Lisa hummed a tune, watching her watch as the countdown began.
Xing, Lumine, and the others were prepared for takeoff.
As the second hand ticked away, and when it returned to 0, Lisa blew the whistle she had been holding.
As soon as the whistle blew, Lumine took the lead, deploying her Wings of the Wind skillfully and flying towards the Wind Field. The Wind Field provided acceleration, allowing her to reach the City Gate faster.
At the start, only Lumine took off smoothly. The others were using the Wings of the Wind for the first time, and they weren't very skilled, flying erratically in the sky and unable to control their direction.
Billy was the most exaggerated. He jumped and did a backflip, falling directly to the ground, his head stuck in the dirt.
Lumine glanced behind her at everyone she had left far behind, and instantly felt a lack of challenge.
With this group of rookie newbies, how could they possibly win against her?
As Lumine was thinking, a red figure suddenly flew past her quickly.
Lumine looked closely and found it was Amber.
Amber was controlling her Wings of the Wind while patrolling the city.
Amber's control of the Wings of the Wind was considered top-tier in all of Mondstadt City.
Lumine called out to Amber.
"Amber!"
Amber spread her wings, decelerated, and hovered over a vertical Wind Field.
"Lumine, did you call me?"
Lumine nodded and flew to Amber's side.
"Amber, we're having a competition, do you want to join? Playing with Xing and that bunch of newbies is not challenging. Look at them, they're still messing around near the starting point."
Hearing this, Amber sighed helplessly.
"I have to patrol, I can't play with you."
Lumine heard this.
"Don't worry, it won't interfere with your patrol, we can just race along your patrol route, right?"
Amber listened and thought it was quite feasible.
Patrol while playing with friends.
"In that case, it's certainly possible."
Afterwards, Lumine and Amber returned to the starting point area and called everyone back to the Knights' doorway to assemble.
Lumine said.
"I called Amber over, we'll change the route and race along Amber's patrol route.
This way, Amber can patrol while racing with us, how about that?"
Xing flapped her Wings of the Wind a few times.
"I'm fine with it. Let me tell you, I've already figured out how to use the Wings of the Wind, you'll see me show off my amazing skills later!"
Billy also shouted.
"That's right! I was just not skilled before! Now I can control the Wings of the Wind!"
Lumine glanced at the two with disdain.
"Let me see how much you've improved then."
Saying this, Lumine climbed onto the wall and stood up straight.
Xing and Billy immediately followed suit.
Lisa started timing again, and soon, the whistle sounded again.
This time, Xing, Billy, and the others all successfully took off and kept up with Lumine and Amber's pace.
Xing struggled to maintain her balance.
"How about it? Lumine, I'm amazing, right!"
Lumine nodded.
"Indeed, not bad, but I'm going to start accelerating๏ฝ"
After saying that, Lumine and Amber flew towards a vertical Wind Field, and the two quickly ascended.
Xing and Billy quickly followed.
Upon reaching the highest point, Lumine and Amber dived, retracted their Wings of the Wind, and shot towards the next Wind Field like eagles.
Xing and Billy were instantly dumbfounded.
What? You can even do this kind of maneuver with just a small pair of Wings of the Wind?
Xing originally thought it was just about maintaining balance, but there were advanced maneuvers.
Xing couldn't help but think of the Genshin Impact Dungeon. In the Genshin Impact Dungeon, she only needed to summon the Wings of the Wind, and then, using her mind to go wherever she wanted, the Wings of the Wind would automatically take her there.
Therefore, she really couldn't get used to the Wings of the Wind in reality.
Besides, there's no such operation in the game! You guys are playing too fancy, right?
Lumine and Amber's flight speed was extremely fast, like falcons, swiftly darting through the streets and alleys of Mondstadt City.
Amber and Lumine were progressing at about the same pace, and Amber even had time to check the situation below to see if there were any incidents that required the Knights to deal with.
Amber in reality was not like in the game, only able to shoot arrows on the ground. In reality, she could control the Wings of the Wind and shoot arrows at the same time.
Otherwise, why is she Mondstadt's strongest Scout Knight?
Why could Jean trust her to go on reconnaissance in the wilderness alone at such a young age?
It was because of Amber's ability that she could easily deal with the demons in the wilderness, even if she couldn't win, she could retreat safely and bring back intelligence.
Then, the Knights would send troops to eliminate the demons.
When the two of them were not far from completing their second lap of patrol, they encountered Xing, Hu Tao, Billy, and the others who were flying slowly with their wings spread.
Lumine flew behind Xing and patted Xing's shoulder.
"Xing, be bolder, fly to the highest point and then dive. Diving is much faster. Look, I've already lapped you."
Xing heard this, good heavens! She had been lapped! No way! Absolutely not! She was Galaxy Heavenly Fire Hero after all!
Xing followed Lumine's rhythm, using the Wind Field to fly to a high altitude, then, like a falcon, she retracted her Wings of the Wind and rapidly dived towards the ground.
The violent wind pressure made Xing's eyes water a little.
When she was still 30 meters from the ground, Lumine suddenly opened her Wings of the Wind. Her position was right on a Wind Field, and she quickly ascended again.
Xing quickly followed suit, her arms stretched straight, the Wind Field lifting Xing back into the air.
Lumine looked at Xing ascending beside her.
"How is it? Exciting, isn't it?"
Xing nodded frantically.
"Amazing! It's unbelievably amazing! You don't know, my adrenaline was soaring!"
Amber smiled.
"To fly faster, we have to learn to use dives like birds to fly quickly."
Xing wholeheartedly agreed.
Then, the three of them continued to quickly shuttle through Mondstadt City.
Gradually, Xing became more and more skilled, keeping up with Lumine and Amber without falling behind.
Liuyin, Hu Tao, and the others behind them looked at each other. All in!
Everyone started to imitate Xing, Lumine, and Amber, retracting their Wings of the Wind! Dive for me!
Nicole immediately exclaimed.
"What? Do we really need to be this competitive? Can't we just fly slowly?"
Nekomata was already in high spirits.
"Charge! I'm an eagle person today! Start diving! GoGoGo!"
In an instant, only Nicole remained, while everyone else started to dive rapidly.
Nicole panicked and quickly retracted her Wings of the Wind and dove downwards.
At a height of 60 meters above the ground, Nicole opened her Wings of the Wind. She didn't dare to dive so low before opening them.
Look, Billy fell to the ground and made a big pit that couldn't be filled because he dived too low and didn't have time to open his Wings of the Wind.
On the city wall next to the back gate of Mondstadt City.
Zhongli, Walther, Jing Yuan, and Huaiyan set up a coffee table and sipped their tea while admiring the lake view.
