With a loud whistle, all the contestants leaped down from the platform, spread their wings of wind, and flew towards the finish line.
The entire race route will circle around Mondstadt and end on a small island in Cider Lake.
Because of the great distance, Xia Zhi could not see the specific situation.
He could only listen to the explanations given to him by the girls around him.
It gave me a sense of déjà vu, like listening to a radio broadcast in my original world.
It's quite interesting too.

the other side.
Inside the tavern of "Angel's Gift," Wendy is drinking with everyone.
Everyone was still congratulating him on winning the musical instrument competition yesterday afternoon.
Halfway through the drinking session, Wendy took out a bottle of wine and said that a close friend had given him an excellent bottle, and he wanted to invite everyone to try it.
Everyone laughed, unimpressed.
After all, this is a tavern under the Dawn Winery, and all the best wines in Mondstadt are here; no other wine, no matter how good, can compare...
and many more……
This taste...
As soon as Wendy poured the wine from the bottle, the extraordinary aroma it emitted captivated all the guests.
The bartenders, in particular, stared at the glass in his hand with disbelief in their eyes.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Wendy picked up the glass, took a sip, and her face became extremely satisfied. After a long while, she said, "An incredible taste... My best friend said it's a special rainbow wine."
"Rainbow wine?"
Would you like to try some?
"Please make sure you fill my glass to the brim!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, we have them all."
One bottle of wine wasn't enough, so Wendy took out several more bottles and poured them for everyone.
Suddenly, a strange aroma of wine filled the air of the tavern. As time passed and the temperature and humidity changed, it underwent a dreamlike transformation, intoxicating everyone.
Ordinary people simply cannot resist the taste of Elysium Rainbow Liquor; just one sip is enough to make them almost drunk.
Only a few people with a very high alcohol tolerance, who were still somewhat sober, smacked their lips, looking like they hadn't had enough, and came over to Wendy for a second drink.
Wendy waved her hand and said, "Hey, one drink is enough. Drinking too much isn't good for your health. I don't have much left... Do you know how many ways there are to write the word for wine in Old Mongolian? If you can answer that, I'll give you another drink."

In a valley.
A massive dragon shadow swept across the sky, startling countless Hilichurls into scattering.
Tvalin landed, leaving behind a bonfire that had not yet gone out in the open space.
This is a Hilichurl campfire.
Dvalin glanced at the campfire, grabbed a few still-burning logs with his claws, and flew away.
Back in his home, Dvarin placed the nearly extinguished wood on the ground, carefully piled dry wood on top, and then gently flapped his wings.
A strong wind blew through the pile of wood.
Moments later, the pile of wood burst into flames.
A homemade campfire is complete.
Tvalin took flight again, went into the forest, caught several plump wild boars, and went to the clear stream. Following the method Xia Zhi had taught it yesterday, it used its claws to clean and treat them.
Then it took its spoils back to the fire and roasted them on it.
Soon, the aroma of barbecue wafted out.
Tvalin looked at the roasted meat with some anticipation.
When it was almost time to barbecue like Xia Zhi did yesterday, Tvalin took the meat off the grill and took a bite.
Then, it immediately spat out the meat from its mouth.
It tastes so bad.
Dvarin looked at the slightly charred roasted meat on the ground with a puzzled expression.
What's wrong?
Chapter 475 Lord Diluc (4K)
The flying competition is over.
Amber only managed to finish as runner-up, unfortunately missing the chance to win consecutive titles.
The new champion is a traveler from Liyue—Miss Xianyun.
Amber actually performed beyond her usual level; her competition results this year were even faster than last year's, but unfortunately, she still lagged behind Miss Xianyun by a considerable margin.
The main reason for the loss was the Wind Wings.
Amber's Wind Wings were just ordinary Wind Wings, which had been in use for several years. Although they were well maintained, their performance was ultimately inferior to the new Wind Wings designed by Xia Zhi and Liu Yun, which had been fitted with additional mechanisms.
Of course, True Lord Liuyun did not use any magic to support himself during the competition; he simply relied on the gliding of the Wings of Wind.
As a celestial bird, she is considered a veteran in the art of flight.
Xia Zhi was not particularly surprised by the result of the competition.
He had heard the Dragon King say that True Lord Liuyun was competitive and often competed with others in various mechanisms. Even when she lost, she liked to argue... Even in a competition with ordinary people, she certainly wouldn't want to fall behind.
Dolly's stall also began settling accounts after the competition ended.
Kaiya went over to collect the money and returned carrying a large money bag.
The girls took only half of the proceeds, leaving the other half for Kaeya, saying it was to be donated to Mondstadt for city repairs.
Kaiya paused for a moment, then smiled and thanked everyone.
What he didn't tell everyone was that when he was helping with the betting, he actually put his own wallet up as well.
Watching everyone's departing figures, Kaeya shook his head and muttered, "This task the leader gave me... isn't too difficult..."
The finish line of the flying competition is on a small island. It's easy for the contestants to fly there, but it's a bit more troublesome to come back, as they have to take a boat slowly.
Xia Zhi and the others descended from the high platform and strolled along the street. When they arrived at the lake, the small boats had not yet docked.
So everyone watched the fishermen fishing on the shore for a while longer.
When the small boat finally reached the shore, everyone went over and first warmly congratulated Liu Yun Zhenjun on winning the competition.
Liu Yun looked completely nonchalant, indicating that this was basic procedure.
A-Ping looked at her and clicked her tongue lightly.
Liu Yun pretended not to hear and said to Amber beside him, "You have to go on a field reconnaissance this afternoon, so it's inconvenient. When you come back from the field, I'll help you modify your Wind Wings."
Amber was delighted: "Thank you for staying... Miss Xianyun!"
Although she lost the championship, Amber showed little disappointment on her face and remained as energetic as ever.
"Then I'll go check things out first! I wish everyone good luck in the upcoming competitions!"
"Yes, you need to be extra careful in the wild."
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Amber waved and left.
Seeing that it was almost 11 o'clock, everyone decided to find a restaurant to sit down first, so that there would be fewer customers if they went early.
Once inside the private room, Xia Zhi, as agreed, presented a black iron treasure chest to True Lord Liuyun.
This was the first time that True Lord Liuyun had obtained such an item, and he was very interested in it, examining it over and over in his hands.
"Isn't True Lord Liuyun planning to open it?"
"Let me take a look at it first."
Unfortunately, apart from the somewhat strange patterns on the surface, there was nothing else to study about this treasure chest.
Lord Liuyun looked up with a hint of regret, about to open it, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped and handed the treasure chest to his disciple.
"Gan Yu, you drive."
"Master?"
“You are blessed with good fortune and your luck is better than mine. Since Mr. Xia said that the contents of this box are determined by luck, it would be more appropriate for you to open it.”
"……All right."
