Chapter 81

Everything in this house was made by these alchemists during this time.

Many of the items looked very familiar to Takumi.

But they had been transformed into the Teyvat version.

"Lord Takumi, let me introduce you."

"This is the electric kettle you suggested earlier."

"It can be used for cooking."

"As long as the base is activated, the pot will heat up automatically."

"And this one is for drying hair."

The small appliances of the Teyvat version had been modified by these alchemists.

As long as they were given an idea, these tasks weren't difficult for them.

Seeing this, Takumi couldn't help but give a nod of approval.

"Good job."

"Are you testing their durability now?"

Hearing Takumi's question, Anfu nodded immediately.

"Yes."

"Most of these items are made from common materials."

"Only the inner core is crafted using some special materials."

"So, we're testing 20 units to see how durable they are."

"If there are no issues, we can begin mass production."

Indeed, they were testing the durability of these devices.

They were seeing how long it would take for them to fail.

When Takumi saw this, he was dumbfounded.

"This is not the way to test."

"How long does it take to cook a meal or boil a pot of water?"

"Are you planning to keep them running indefinitely?"

"As long as they function properly for a year or two, they are essentially good to go."

He sighed.

Looking at the person preparing to change a pot of water and continue boiling, Takumi didn't know what to say.

This method of testing was problematic.

It wasn't necessary.

Hearing Takumi's words, Anfu was stunned.

Thinking carefully, Takumi had a point.

After all, people wouldn't be boiling water nonstop every day.

Realizing this, he quickly shouted:

"Awen, unplug all the sockets. We don't need to test anymore."

"This is the wrong way to test."

Hearing Anfu's words, the young man about to change the water was taken aback.

"No need to test?"

"Uncle Anfu, it's already been running for three days. We might as well keep it going for a few more."

Takumi nearly facepalmed.

These devices were already fully qualified.

Running continuously for three days without failing?

Takumi's expression became a mix of amusement and disbelief.

These alchemists truly had unique ways of thinking.

If left to them, would they test for a month before approving a product?

Shaking his head slightly, he said:

"As long as they function correctly and last two to three years, they are good to go."

"You already know the expected lifespan of the materials used, right?"

Anfu nodded.

"Yes."

"These materials, as long as they aren't mistreated, will last for two to three years without issue."

In other words, these products were already qualified.

There was no need for such extreme tests.

Now that he understood the situation, Takumi said:

"In that case, begin mass production."

"For some of the simpler parts, have Cloud Retainer create an automatic production line."

"Then, they can be manually assembled."

"These appliances will be sold in specialized stores."

"As we integrate electricity here, more people will start using them."

"Don't worry about sales."

"At Liyue Harbor, we'll also start installing electric wiring."

"Once power lines become widespread, nearly every household will be able to purchase these."

"By the way, modify this fan—make bigger ones for cooling during dinner."

"This one is too small."

"Also, transform it into a range hood."

"Use it to vent out smoke."

"Send a few units from the neighboring workshop."

"Let people start using them."

The weather was scorching.

Sleeping at night was difficult, and some people even considered catching Ice Slimes to cool their rooms.

But that would be too cold.

Now that fans were available, it was perfect.

They could even enclose a few Ice Slimes behind the fan to create natural air conditioning.

The future was looking promising.

Perhaps Albedo could develop an element conversion device.

He could design an actual air conditioner.

Something that could convert electricity into Cryo, Pyro, or Anemo elements.

If Albedo researched it, he might be able to create it.

Of course, if Takumi had time, he could also research it himself.

Ever since he came into contact with the Heart of God, his alchemy abilities had advanced significantly.

Now, Takumi's alchemy skills were quite formidable.

If he put his mind to it, he could invent almost anything.

But element conversion was tricky.

Turning one element into another was complicated.

Like the Parametric Transformer in the game, which converted materials into different ones?

Such a device likely didn't exist in reality.

Shaking his head, Takumi decided not to dwell on it.

Instead, he focused on explaining mass production to Anfu.

He instructed him to start manufacturing the necessary products.

Upon receiving Takumi's orders, Anfu immediately organized preparations.

They began manually producing a batch of large fans and moved on to other appliances.

At the same time, he visited the neighboring research institute to discuss additional assembly lines.

This frustrated the researchers there.

The car production line wasn't even finished yet, and now they had another project.

But despite their complaints, they had no choice.

They would just have to work overtime.

What else could they do?

These developments were crucial.

Cloud Retainer had no objections.

She was fascinated by these inventions.

As long as people made requests, she would happily assist.

So there were no issues.

After finishing these arrangements, Takumi headed to the commercial street.

Looking at the ongoing renovations, it wouldn't be long before the stores opened.

Particularly the two well-funded restaurants—they were nearing completion.

As Takumi strolled through the area, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

"Xiangling?"

Takumi was surprised to see Xiangling busy at a shop that sold rice noodles.

Was Wanmin Restaurant opening a branch here?

When had they purchased a store?

This puzzled Takumi.

Seeing him, Xiangling's face brightened.

"Takumi!"

"I was going to look for you."

"I didn't expect to run into you here!"

She quickly put down what she was doing and ran over.
