Chapter 375: Cell Phones in the Magical World
“Huh…”
After getting the expected answer, Natsuki Subaru instantly relaxed and slumped down on the bench.
To be honest, it was luck that they were able to successfully form an alliance despite the many unexpected events during the negotiations. He was ready to go back and try again.
After all, the negotiation experience in his previous life was still vivid in his mind, and he had not forgotten how ugly he looked.
However, this experience also taught him a little bit about how to negotiate. If he were still the same person he used to be, he would definitely not be able to do this.
Just as Natsuki Subaru was silently summing up his experience, Russell Ferro, who had a gorgeous mustache, suddenly congratulated him: "Although I felt nervous several times, fortunately I succeeded. Natsuki, the agreement before the negotiation has taken effect."
Natsuki Subaru also smiled and replied: "Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Russell. After the crusade is over, the magic weapon will be given to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Natsuki Subaru straightened up immediately and looked at Xia Yu nervously. It seemed that this senior time traveler particularly liked to ruin his plans.
If Senior Xia Yu suddenly told Russell that mobile phones need to be charged and that a mobile phone without power is worse than a brick, then he would be finished.
There are no chargers for sale in this world, and no sockets to charge mobile phones.
As if noticing Natsuki Subaru's gaze, Xia Yu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile that showed he was ready to watch a good show.
Natsuki Subaru: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
No, senior! No, senior!
"Mr. Russell, I also want to discuss something with you." Xia Yu ignored the pleading in Natsuki Subaru's eyes and suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Mr. Xia Yu, do you have another business to cooperate with me?" Russell smiled and asked Xia Yu.
He knew the man with a slightly strange name, Xia Yu. He was a retainer of the Karlsten family, and some of the new chess and card games currently popular among the aristocratic class were created by him.
In addition, the other party’s business ideas and some small inventions have also demonstrated high commercial value, and every cooperation with the other party can be described as a win-win situation.
"That's right." Xia Yu nodded, pointed to the touch-screen phone in his hand, and explained: "This time it's a business related to mobile phones. I can provide magic devices called mobile phones in bulk."
"batch!!"
As a modern man, Natsuki Subaru jumped up from the bench with an exclamation. Others might not know what this meant, but he knew it.
The mobile phone can be said to be the crystallization of technology. Such a small mobile phone carries so much of humanity’s high-tech power.
Although he was just a high school student, he knew that in the Middle Ages with backward technology, it was impossible to provide mobile phones in bulk, even if this was a magical world.
No, it is precisely because this is a magical world that the development of technology is more difficult.
But Senior Xia Yu has said so, and excluding the possibility of lying, the only possibility is...
Caiyue Subaru ignored the strange looks from the people around him, rushed in front of Xia Yu, and asked with a trembling voice: "Could it be... Could it be that you have a way to contact our hometown, senior?"
The hometown that Natsuki Subaru mentioned is naturally the Earth before the time travel. Although he seems heartless, this thorn has always been in his heart.
Because of his own reasons , he didn't even say goodbye to his parents properly when he left home for the convenience store.
Who would have thought that just after leaving the convenience store, I was summoned to another world in the blink of an eye.
After realizing that he had come to another world, he had been avoiding this matter because he could not imagine how painful his parents would be if he disappeared.
"Feel sorry……"
Looking at the eagerness in Natsuki Subaru's eyes, Xia Yu shook his head cruelly: "That is a magic device phone I made, not a technological phone."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru's eyes flashed with desolation. That's right, Senior Xia Yu just said that they would provide magic devices called mobile phones in bulk, not mobile phones.
He had misunderstood. Even the seniors couldn't contact the original world. It turned out that there was no way back.
Suppressing the rising thoughts, Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and laughed: "Hahaha, I said it , after all, providing high-tech mobile phones is really too far-fetched."
This forced optimism makes Natsuki Subaru look even more pitiful.
The author of Re:0 once said in an interview that after Natsuki Subaru was teleported to another world, his parents tried their best but failed to find him, so they lived a painful life in tears for the rest of their lives.
However, Subaru was completely unaware of this, but he had not forgotten his parents. When he was canonized as a knight, he swore an oath in the name of his parents.
In the past illusion of the Sanctuary Trial, Natsuki Subaru showed his true feelings, and this is also a big tear-jerking point in the whole novel.
"Don't worry."
Sensing the sadness buried deep in Natsuki Subaru's heart, Xia Yu reached out and patted his shoulder, saying seriously: "If one day I find a way back to your hometown, I will definitely tell you."
"senior……"
Hearing this promise, Natsuki Subaru was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
Being stared at so "affectionately" by a man with fierce eyes, Xia Yu felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but push him away with a palm.
"Stay away from me. I'm not interested in men."
"What?!"
Rem, who was standing silently by the side, heard this and looked at Natsuki Subaru with a surprised look on her face. Then she shyly said, "If Subaru likes men, then Rem can also dress up as a man."
“Hey!!!”
Hearing Rem say this, Natsuki Subaru was immediately shocked and pale from morning to night. He rushed over and explained in panic that he was a pure straight man and it was impossible for him to like men.
This funny scene made everyone present burst into laughter, but after laughing, it was time to make a detailed plan on how to defeat the white whale.
These discussions had nothing to do with Xia Yu, so Xia Yu went directly to another to develop a business plan for mobile phones.
Perhaps modern mobile phones are multifunctional high-tech products, but when they were first invented, they were just a simple communication tool.
But even if it could only be used for communication, in the Middle Ages when people had to rely on letters to communicate over long distances, it still had immeasurable commercial value.
Moreover, this is a technology that he monopolizes. Even a primitive mobile phone with only communication function is enough for him to make a fortune.
As for why he didn't just make gold coins, he didn't want to create financial problems in this world.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can research and manufacture the magic phone in this magical Middle Ages.
"So Mr. Xia Yu, you haven't made the magic device called a mobile phone yet?" Russell asked with a wry smile.
"What are you worried about? Now that I've brought it up, just wait and see. You'll see when I make a mistake." Xia Yu replied.
"Yeah... that's right."
Russell pondered for a few seconds and realized that Xia Yu had indeed never encountered any problems in his cooperation with him.
"In that case, I'll wait for your good news." Russell smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Just wait patiently."
Xia Yu also smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Russell.
