Chapter 68

Takumi glanced at Klee.

"What's wrong, Klee?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Klee shook her backpack.

"Brother Takumi, I've run out of flying bombs."

"Can you give me some more?"

Her flying bombs had just run out, so she was now looking for Takumi to restock them.

Takumi looked at the little girl helplessly.

"Alright, I'll refill them for you later."

"Let's finish this up first."

After saying that, Takumi stepped forward and approached the Flower of the Earth Vein.

He placed his hand on it and infused it with elemental energy.

In an instant, the Flower of the Earth Vein bloomed.

Immediately afterward, Mora and some alchemy materials spilled out.

And then, nothing more.

It was around 50,000 to 60,000 Mora.

However, one of the red agates caught Takumi's attention.

"It's Burning Wish Agate!"

Klee called out its name excitedly.

Takumi nodded.

"Not bad."

"This thing sells for a good price."

Takumi was surprised—he hadn't expected the ley line flower to produce something like this.

It wasn't the same as in the game.

But it was still a great find.

This agate alone could fetch a high price.

Burning Wish Agate wasn't used for breakthroughs.

There were no such things as breakthroughs in reality.

If someone wanted to become stronger, they had to rely on their own efforts.

Experience books? If you asked someone about those, they'd probably laugh at you.

They simply didn't exist.

Takumi picked up all the materials.

He then handed the Burning Wish Agate to Klee, who was staring at it eagerly.

"Here, Klee, this is for you."

Hearing this, Klee's eyes lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Brother Takumi!"

Now, she could make a lot of bombs.

Thinking about it, Klee couldn't contain her excitement.

This agate would last her a long time.

Seeing her happiness, Takumi smiled.

Without hesitation, he collected the remaining items from the ground.

After gathering everything, Takumi left with Klee and Shenhe.

Halfway back, a squad of Qianyan soldiers arrived.

Clearly, they had been alerted by the recent commotion.

Seeing them, Takumi quickly reassured them.

"Everything is fine. You can return to your posts."

Hearing Takumi's words, the Qianyan soldiers nodded.

Without further questions, they turned around and left.

Since Takumi said it was fine, there was nothing to worry about.

Upon returning to the construction site, the high-voltage tower had already begun to take shape.

Some screws were already fixed in place.

The structure was steadily being built upward.

Workers continuously lifted materials using pulley systems.

Once hoisted, the crew above took over and installed them.

By noon, the high-voltage tower was halfway complete.

Thankfully, this was Teyvat, where people had stronger physical abilities than normal.

Otherwise, building a high-voltage tower would have taken much longer.

Lunch was prepared on-site, and after a break, the workers resumed their tasks.

Takumi monitored the process closely, ensuring everything was going smoothly.

By evening, the high-voltage tower was fully constructed.

Everything was stable.

"Good work."

With its completion, Takumi silently gave his approval.

It was finally done.

Takumi then turned to the person in charge.

"From now on, you can continue building on your own."

"Follow the same process for the rest."

"Once all the towers are completed, we'll install the high-voltage wires."

"Then, everything here will be fully operational."

Hearing Takumi's instructions, the person in charge nodded.

"Understood. We will complete the task as planned."

Takumi nodded in satisfaction.

"Klee, it's time to go back."

He then called out to Klee, who was busy frying fish nearby.

Hearing Takumi, Klee quickly packed up and ran over.

With Klee and Shenhe in tow, Takumi started the car.

They began their journey back to Guili Plains.

By the time they reached Wangshu Inn, night had fallen.

After dinner, everyone at the inn retired to rest.

For the next few days, Takumi didn't return to Mingyun Village.

Instead, he supervised the construction site.

If any issues arose, he was there to assist immediately.

Before he realized it, half a month had passed.

The high-voltage towers had now reached Mingyun Village, soon to be extended to Guili Plains.

During this time, more and more people arrived to learn how to drive.

Some had even obtained their driver's licenses.

Naturally, those who had licenses began asking about purchasing cars.

In response, Takumi instructed Shenhe to inform them of the process.

She explained how they could buy a car and released the pricing details.

There was no need for complications.

No insurance, no special conditions.

If you got into an accident, it was your responsibility.

The pricing was as follows:

A standard family car: 500,000 Mora.

Cargo trucks (similar to vans): 400,000 Mora.

Buses, however, were not available for public purchase.

These were designated for passenger transport.

Once the roads between Liyue and Mondstadt were fully constructed, an official bus route would be established.

Similarly, Liyue Harbor would implement a public transport system.

Additionally, city roads in Liyue were being carefully planned.

Moving forward, street vendors would no longer be allowed to set up stalls randomly.

This decision upset some merchants, but they had no choice but to comply.

Lastly, dump trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles were not for sale.

They were strictly for government use.

As for fueling these vehicles, people without Visions needed elemental crystals.

These were specially developed by Albedo as an energy source.

Each crystal cost a few hundred Mora and powered a vehicle for about three to four days.

Once depleted, the crystal had to be replaced.

However, used crystals had to be recycled.

Albedo had already developed equipment to replenish their elemental energy.

This ensured a steady income stream.

Of course, this entire system was managed by Liyue's government.

Takumi had no involvement beyond delivering the idea to Ningguang.

When potential buyers heard the pricing, many were surprised.

The cars were somewhat expensive.

But for those interested, it was a worthwhile investment.

Many of them had enough money to afford one.

Those who wanted a car could purchase one directly from the factory.

Once bought, they could drive it home immediately.

Additionally, a traffic management office had been established.

Vehicles were also available for purchase at Liyue Harbor.

Some of the previously manufactured cars had already been transported there.

So, whether they bought their cars in Guili Plains or at Liyue Harbor, the process was the same.

Understanding this, many buyers didn't hesitate.

Some traveled back to Liyue Harbor to make their purchase.

Others bought their cars directly and drove them home.

After all, what better way to celebrate than by taking a new car for a drive?
