After receiving the expected answer, Natsuki Subaru instantly relaxed and collapsed on the bench.
To be honest, it was just good luck that he was able to successfully form an alliance despite frequent unexpected negotiations. He was ready to go back and start again.
After all, the negotiation experience in his previous life was still fresh in his mind, and he had not forgotten his ugly appearance.
However, this experience also gave him a certain understanding of how to negotiate. If he were still the same person, 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: "Although I felt nervous several times, luckily I succeeded, Natsuki, the agreement before the negotiation has come into effect."
Natsuki Subaru also replied with a smile on his face: "Okay, that's a big help, Mr. Russell. After the crusade is over, the magic weapon will be given to you."
Just after he finished speaking, Natsuki Subaru straightened up immediately and looked at Xia Yu nervously. This senior time traveler seemed to particularly like to tear him down.
If senior Xia Yu suddenly told Russell that mobile phones need to be charged, and 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 there are no sockets for charging mobile phones.
As if noticing Natsuki Subaru's gaze, Xia Yu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile ready for a good show.
Natsuki Subaru:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
No, senior! No, senior! No!
"Mr. Russell, I also want to discuss something with you." Xia Yu suddenly said, ignoring the plea in Natsuki Subaru's eyes.
"Oh? Does Mr. Xia Yu want to cooperate with me on business again?" Russell smiled, looked at Xia Yu and asked.
He knew that Xia Yu, a man with a slightly strange name, was a retainer of the Carlsten family, and that some of the new chess and card games currently circulating among the aristocratic class were created by him.
In addition, the other party's business ideas and some small inventions also show high commercial value. Every time we cooperate with the other party, it can be said to be a win-win situation.
"That's right." Xia Yu nodded, gestured to the touch-screen mobile phone in his hand, and explained: "This is a business related to mobile phones. I can provide magic devices called mobile phones in batches."
"batch!!"
As a modern man, Subaru Natsuki jumped up from the bench in surprise. Others may not know what this means yet, but he knew it.
Mobile phones can be said to be the crystallization of technology. A small mobile phone carries so much human high-tech power.
Although he was only a high school student, he also 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, precisely because this is a magical world, the development of technology is more difficult.
But Senior Xia Yu said so. If you rule out the possibility of lying, then it can only be...
Natsuki Subaru ignored the strange looks from the people around him, rushed to Xia Yu, and asked with a trembling voice: "Could it be that... senior, do you have a way to contact our hometown?"
The hometown Natsuki Subaru talks about is naturally the Earth before time travel. Although he seems heartless, in fact, this thorn has always been pierced in his heart.
Due to his own reasons, he didn't even say goodbye properly in front of his parents when he left home to go to the convenience store.
Who would have thought that just after leaving the convenience store, I would be summoned to a different world in the blink of an eye.
After realizing that he came to a different world, he had been avoiding this matter because he couldn't imagine how painful his parents would be after he disappeared.
"Feel sorry……"
Seeing the longing in Natsuki Subaru's eyes, Xia Yu shook his head cruelly: "That's a magic phone I made, not a technology phone."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru's eyes flashed with loneliness, and yes, senior Xia Yu just said that he was providing magic tools called mobile phones in batches, not mobile phones.
It was his misunderstanding. He couldn't even contact his predecessors in the original world. Sure enough, he couldn't go back.
Suppressing the surging thoughts, Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and laughed: "Hahaha, let me just say, after all, providing technology, mobile phones, etc. is still too far-fetched."
This forced optimism made Natsuki Subaru even more pitiful.
The author of Re:0 once said in an interview that after Natsuki Subaru was sent to another world, his parents tried their best but failed to find Subaru, so they lived a painful life of tears for the rest of their lives.
However, Subaru had no idea. However, Subaru did not forget 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 Holy Domain Trial, Natsuki Subaru showed his true feelings, which was also a big tear-jerking point in the entire novel.
"Do not worry."
Sensing the deep sadness in Natsuki Subaru's heart, Xia Yu reached out and patted his shoulder, and said seriously: "If one day I find a way back to your hometown, I will definitely tell you."
"senior……"
Hearing this promise, Natsuki Subaru was moved to tears in his eyes.
Being stared at so "affectionately" by a man with ferocious eyes, Xia Yu felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but push him away with a palm.
"You 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 shocked expression. Then he twisted his body and said shyly: "If Subaru-kun likes men, then Rem can also dress up as a man."
"Eh!!!"
Hearing what Rem said, Natsuki Subaru was immediately frightened and turned pale from morning to night. He rushed over and explained in a panic that he was a pure straight man and could not like men.
This funny scene made everyone at the scene laugh uncontrollably, but after laughing, it was time to start 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 room with Russell to start a business plan about mobile phones.
Perhaps the modern mobile phone is a multi-functional high-tech, but when the mobile phone was invented, it was just a simple communication tool.
But even if it could only be used for communication, it still had immeasurable commercial value in the Middle Ages, when communication over long distances relied on letters.
Moreover, this is still a technology that he has a monopoly on. Even a primitive mobile phone with only communication function is enough for him to make a lot of money.
As for why he didn't just make gold coins, he didn't want to cause financial problems in the world.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can research and manufacture magic mobile phones 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? Since I brought it up, just wait and see when I make a mistake." Xia Yu replied.
"Yeah...too."
Russell pondered for a few seconds. Xia Yu indeed had no problems in his cooperation with him.
"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news." Russell smiled and stretched out his palm.
"Just wait patiently."
Xia Yu also smiled, stretched out his palm and held it together with Russell.
