Chapter 107

After Xingqiu and Chongyun left, only Takumi, Shenhe, and the three little girls remained in the room.

The three little ones couldn't sit still for long.

After a brief discussion, they decided to go out and play.

After saying a quick word to Takumi, they dashed outside.

In the end, only Takumi and Shenhe were left in the room.

"Is the automatic production line at Adeptus Cloud Retainer's side ready?" Takumi asked Shenhe now that they were alone.

Hearing Takumi's question, Shenhe took out a document and replied:

"The production line under Master's supervision is fully operational."

"In addition to the automobile production line, even the production lines for small household appliances have been completed."

"For now, production has already started."

"Some specialty stores have already opened, but the output is still limited, so we can't yet ship products to Liyue Harbor for sale."

After listening to Shenhe's explanation, Takumi nodded.

"It looks like everything is going well."

"That's good."

"Now, let's focus on our own tasks."

"We need to start decorating our future workplace."

"Then, we'll move out of here."

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Mingyun Village to construct these villas."

"We'll be living there as well."

After confirming that there were no major issues, Takumi made his decision.

Shenhe nodded.

For her, it didn't make much of a difference where she lived.

While the two were busy, far across the sea in Inazuma...

At the Grand Narukami Shrine, under the Sacred Sakura Tree...

A pink-haired beauty with fox ears was reviewing some recent intelligence reports.

"Oh my, what a surprise."

"I didn't expect Liyue to change so much in such a short time."

"Compared to Inazuma, Liyue has progressed far too quickly."

"If that old friend of mine saw this, I wonder what kind of expression she would make?"

To be honest, even Yae Miko was shocked by Liyue's rapid advancements.

She hadn't expected that while Inazuma was under isolation, such progress had taken place in Liyue.

From the reports alone, it was evident.

The world was advancing.

And Inazuma seemed to be falling behind.

Shaking her head, Yae Miko chuckled.

What would become of Inazuma in the future? That was for the Shogun to worry about.

She just hoped there would be no regrets.

Not only Inazuma but many people from other nations were also paying attention to Liyue's transformation.

If there was one nation most interested in Liyue's current developments, it was Snezhnaya.

Upon witnessing Liyue's progress, the Tsaritsa had sent one of the Fatui Harbingers ahead of schedule.

It seemed they were preparing to fulfill some agreements.

Takumi, of course, was unaware of this—or rather, he simply didn't care.

The next day arrived.

Takumi brought Klee, the little girls, and Shenhe directly to the Statue of the Seven in Mingyun Village.

Surveying the surrounding area, Takumi immediately got to work.

Harnessing the power of his Vision, he began reshaping the terrain.

The land began to shift.

It changed to match the structure Takumi had envisioned.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but as Liyue continued to develop, Takumi felt his own power growing stronger.

This was unbelievable.

Could it be that constructing Liyue strengthened him?

Especially with the production of various small appliances, his strength had increased significantly.

It felt as though the more advanced civilization became, the stronger he became.

This realization shocked Takumi.

In other words, should he focus on technological advancements?

Though it felt strange, Takumi didn't dwell on it.

A vast area of land was transformed by his efforts.

A stone mountain underwent drastic changes.

Once the terrain was prepared, Takumi waved his hand.

The ground trembled.

Stone walls rose from the earth.

After completing the foundation, Takumi began constructing the houses.

Each structure was built entirely of stone, appearing as though they had naturally emerged from the land itself.

They were solid and reliable.

Within moments, a manor was completed.

Though still in its skeletal form, it left Klee and the others in awe.

"Brother Takumi could make a fortune if he built houses for a living!" Yaoyao exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing this, Takumi chuckled.

She wasn't wrong.

With the basic house frames completed, Takumi added rock gardens and other landscaping elements to enhance the surroundings.

After finishing one, he moved on to the second, then the third.

Finally, after all the necessary houses were built, Takumi exhaled in relief.

"It's done."

"Now for the interior decorating."

"That will be Ningguang's job."

A smirk formed on Takumi's lips.

When it came to decoration, he wasn't about to do all the work for free.

Ningguang could handle that herself.

With the outer structures complete, Takumi returned to his house.

Then, using the power of the Herrscher of Reason, he began refining the interior.

All sorts of mechanical systems and alchemical enhancements were installed.

In addition, various small appliances and modern comforts were incorporated.

Once the house was fully remodeled, Takumi nodded in satisfaction.

"Perfect."

"We can move in now."

Klee stood in the courtyard, staring at the three-story house in front of her with wide eyes.

"Wow~!"

"Brother Takumi, can Klee live here too?"

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"Of course."

"You're always welcome."

Hearing Takumi's words, Klee beamed with excitement.

She immediately rushed inside, dragging Qiqi and Yaoyao along as they ran through the house, exploring each room.

Naturally, Klee chose a room with a seaside view.

She wanted to be able to jump out the window and head straight to the water.

That way, it would be easier to fish blast.

Just as Takumi finished decorating his house, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Beidou arrived.

Upon seeing the houses Takumi had built, all three were amazed.

From Takumi's residence, they could see Guiliyuan in the distance.

The view was breathtaking.

It was the perfect location.

Seeing Beidou, Takumi turned to her.

"Your house is done."

"But it's just the foundation."

"If you want it decorated, you'll need to hire someone."

"You can make it however you like."

Hearing this, Beidou frowned.

"You're not going to help me?"

Good grief, he did all this work for himself but left her with just a frame?

Takumi rolled his eyes.

"Wishful thinking."

He didn't have the time.

If Beidou wanted a furnished house, she would have to handle it herself.
