Chapter 95

Those witnessing Takumi's abilities for the first time were astonished.

Many began to wonder whether Takumi was an adeptus or perhaps even the Geo Archon himself.

However, Takumi's Vision was visibly glowing, adding to their confusion.

Could a Vision truly grant someone this much power?

Takumi remained unaware of their thoughts. 

After quickly constructing the dam, he proceeded to reinforce it, ensuring that the rocks fused seamlessly with the underground bedrock. This way, no matter how strong the impact, the dam would remain indestructible, appearing as though it had formed naturally over time.

At the same time, he adjusted the surrounding terrain to prevent excessive water flow from redirecting elsewhere. 

Soon, a dam over ten meters high stood firm.

After completing this section, Takumi looked upward and spoke:

"Take me up there."

"We need to build more dams along the route."

"There are also downstream sections that require reinforcement."

"Let's try to finish everything today."

Hearing this, the Qianyan Army quickly responded.

"Understood, Mr. Takumi. Please follow me."

"There's a trail nearby."

With that, the soldier led the way.

Takumi then got to work, constructing multiple dams along the base of Mt. Tianheng. As he did so, he could sense a distinct energy resonating from the mountain.

This only confirmed his suspicions—

A powerful being, likely a defeated god, had perished here long ago, leaving behind residual energy that had since transformed into a continuous water source. 

It was highly possible that Zhongli had orchestrated this intentionally to ensure a sustainable freshwater supply for Liyue Harbor.

Otherwise, Liyue Harbor might never have been established in this location. Being adjacent to the sea, fresh water was an invaluable resource.

In other words, the freshwater behind Mt. Tianheng existed as a result of a fallen god's remnants.

Zhongli truly was remarkable.

It took Takumi a full day to construct all three dams. Once finished, he also set up several turbines to test the functionality of one of the power stations.

After confirming that the power generation was stable, he finally left the site.

For the next few days, Takumi focused on the Liyue Harbor power station.

Meanwhile, power lines were successfully connected throughout Liyue Harbor.

Some areas near the outskirts even began receiving electricity.

This left many residents eager with anticipation—

Soon, the entire city would be fully powered.

Once the remaining high-voltage towers were completed, Takumi successfully finalized the construction of the Liyue Harbor power station.

Ningguang personally visited the site to inspect the results.

Observing the power stations generating electricity, she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

After wrapping up the work, Takumi turned to Ningguang.

"If the storage station becomes overloaded, remember to shut down some generators."

"We don't want the entire Liyue Harbor losing power due to an explosion."

"These three power stations will be sufficient to support the entire city."

"Additionally, you should extend power lines to the factories."

"Honestly, it's far too hot inside the factories right now."

"Guiliyuan has already started producing electric fans."

"Install them in the factories, along with exhaust fans."

"Worker health is important too."

Ningguang nodded.

"Understood."

"Now that the power station is complete, the tap water system is also nearing completion."

"Soon, everyone in Liyue will no longer need to fetch water manually."

"With running water, life will become far more convenient."

A pleased expression crossed her face.

In addition to the power stations, Ningguang had also implemented the water distribution system from Guiliyuan.

Monthly utility fees from water and electricity would soon bring considerable revenue to Liyue's economy.

Even though the costs were low, the sheer number of users ensured substantial returns.

Takumi nodded in approval.

"That's good."

"Actually, you might want to consider demolishing and reconstructing certain areas of Liyue Harbor."

"But since those buildings aren't government-owned, I won't say much about it."

"A lot of houses in Liyue are still made of wood."

"If a fire starts, it could easily spread."

"That's not ideal."

Takumi wasn't fond of the outdated wooden structures.

Hearing this, Ningguang rolled her eyes.

"Building houses costs money, Takumi."

"Especially in Liyue Harbor, where property prices are already sky-high."

"But we can consider this in the future."

For now, there was no immediate rush.

Ningguang and Takumi lingered at the site for a while, ensuring everything operated smoothly before heading back to Liyue Harbor.

By this time, electricity had already been supplied to areas near the Golden House.

This included the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

The remaining parts of Liyue Harbor were still undergoing installation, but full coverage was only a matter of time.

As they drove back, Takumi noticed several workers installing something.

Looking closer, he saw large water pipes being buried underground.

It was the water supply network under construction.

Seeing the bustling activity around him, Takumi couldn't help but smile.

A deep sense of achievement welled up inside him.

Ningguang, noticing his expression in the rearview mirror, spoke up.

"Other nations are eager to collaborate with us after seeing Liyue's development."

"But I didn't rush to agree."

"So far, I've only approved limited partnerships with Mondstadt."

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"It's fine to collaborate, but we should focus on perfecting our own infrastructure first."

"There's no need to rush into agreements."

Ningguang agreed.

Indeed, Liyue still had work to do before considering large-scale foreign collaborations.

Trade was always an option, but major projects could come later.

For now, Liyue's advancements needed to be solidified.

Upon arriving at the General Affairs Department, Takumi stepped out of the car—only to spot Keqing and Ganyu waiting with three young girls.

As soon as Klee saw him, she bolted toward him.

"Brother Takumi!!"

There was no mistaking it—the three girls with Keqing and Ganyu were Klee, Qiqi, and Yaoyao.

When Qiqi saw Takumi, a faint glimmer appeared in her eyes—

Clearly, she still remembered him.

Or perhaps it was because Klee had been mentioning him every day, making sure Qiqi wouldn't forget.

Meanwhile, Yaoyao studied Takumi with curiosity.

So this was Takumi—the man who had improved Liyue?

She was finally meeting him.

Takumi patted Klee's head before turning his gaze to Qiqi and Yaoyao.

The two young girls stood side by side—

Simply adorable.

"Hello, Brother Takumi!"

"I'm Yaoyao!"

Yaoyao eagerly introduced herself upon meeting his gaze.
