Chapter 142

The prototype of the computer had already been figured out.

After half a month of work, Takumi finally got the call system operational.

Looking at what was on the computer, he felt quite satisfied.

"Not bad!"

"Now, we can start popularizing PHS mobile phones."

After being busy for so long, Takumi's hair had become messy.

During this period, he did nothing else, focusing solely on getting things done. Signal towers had also been set up.

Keqing had already taken care of what Takumi had instructed. Upon returning, she saw that Takumi was completely absorbed in things she couldn't understand, unable to extricate himself.

Keqing simply chose not to disturb him too much.

Takumi looked at his creation and nodded in satisfaction.

This was it.

Even if all of Liyue's people used the phone at once, there would be no problem. Thinking of this, Takumi immediately stood up and dialed Keqing's number, asking her to come over.

After calling Keqing, Takumi also called Shenhe.

Hanging up the phone, Takumi touched his chin.

Once this matter was settled, he planned to go to Mondstadt.

On the other side of the road, Takumi recalled that work had completely stopped. The repairs had only reached Benlang's side. However, due to the presence of too many monsters and the Wind Demon Dragon, work had been halted. The workers had returned to Shimen to continue repairing the Shimen service area, delaying the construction period.

Takumi decided to visit Mondstadt. However, before that, he needed to take care of everything at hand.

Just as Takumi was handling follow-up matters, Lumine was experiencing many events in the game. She had just met Amber.

At that moment, Amber was explaining many things about Mondstadt to Lumine.

Without a doubt, the story had already begun.

By the time Takumi arrived, perhaps the Dragon Calamity would be over. Takumi didn't know much about that. Right now, he wasn't paying attention to Mondstadt's affairs. Since someone else was handling the dragon issue, Venti should be very happy.

It didn't matter whether he went or not. After all, it was just a storyline, and the game had already been played. There wasn't much to say.

Following the plot?

Takumi wasn't that bored.

That would be something to do when he had absolutely nothing better to do.

At this time, Takumi was discussing the sale of mobile phones with Keqing and the others. Over the past period, hundreds of thousands of mobile phones had been produced. For now, it was enough. The price was also quite expensive—50,000 Mora per unit. In Takumi's previous life's calculations, that would be 50,000 yuan per set.

Although many people in Liyue could afford it, not everyone could. Production couldn't keep up, and Takumi didn't plan to make it widely available just yet. Instead, he intended to let the wealthy purchase them first and gradually lower the price later.

With the release of the new mobile phone, the goal was to fully introduce mobile communication over time.

Listening to Takumi's explanation, Keqing fell into deep thought.

"You mean, since the price is high, you'll sell it to the rich first? And those without money can buy them later?"

Takumi nodded.

"Exactly. If the price is set too low, our labor force won't be able to keep up. Automated machines haven't been developed by the Adepti yet. So, it's not a big problem. Once the Geo Archon fully retires, we can develop these technologies aggressively. There's no need to worry too much—this situation is only temporary."

Hearing Takumi's reasoning, Keqing nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then we'll proceed as planned. I'll have people start distributing the produced phones and prepare them for sale. By the way, I think radios should also be sold to some merchants. Companies can use them as well. However, if possible, I hope you can reduce the communication range a little. Weakening it slightly would allow us to sell them at a lower price."

After considering her suggestion, Takumi agreed.

"No problem. We can make that adjustment. As for radios, they should also go on sale. While not everyone can afford a mobile phone, many can buy a radio. Baiwen should be almost ready, right?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Keqing nodded.

"Yes, almost ready. Many radios have been produced and are ready for sale. Baiwen has also been arranging programs, and everything is basically set up. However..."

She hesitated, unsure how to continue.

"However? What's wrong?" Takumi asked, puzzled.

Keqing nodded. "We don't know what to broadcast at night. We can't just play stories or operas in the middle of the night, right?"

Hearing this, Takumi was momentarily speechless.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Why don't I call Lumine'er?"

Keqing was immediately stunned upon hearing the name.

"Lumine'er from Chunxiang Kiln? Why are you looking for her?"

That woman...

Just speaking to her was intimidating.

Bringing her in?

That could be chaotic.

Seeing Keqing's reaction, the corners of Takumi's mouth curled slightly.

"I think Lumine'er would be perfect for the night slot. She has great eloquence and might even boost Liyue's population."

Keqing was dumbfounded.

"What? She has that kind of ability?"

Takumi smiled.

Never underestimate the Car God.

Bringing her in would be interesting. She would definitely captivate many people.

Keqing, being pure and innocent, didn't understand what men liked. But Takumi, being ageless, certainly did.

Just a little guidance, and Lumine'er's show could become the most popular program.

Takumi also felt she would make a great host.

Keqing stared at Takumi blankly.

"Ah... this...!"

"Call Baiwen over. She'll know what to do."

Hearing Takumi's words, Keqing snapped out of her thoughts and frowned.

"But Lumine'er is just a clerk at Chunxiang Kiln."

Takumi shrugged.

"How much money can she make selling ceramics? Hosting will bring in much more. Once merchants start advertising, the salary will definitely be enough. Lumine'er will surely be tempted. As long as the pay is good, anyone can be recruited. Just tell Baiwen that. Let her go to Liyue Harbor and bring her over."

And just like that, the decision was made.

Lumine'er, Liyue needs someone like you.

Liyue's Car God is ready to take the stage!

One way or another, Takumi was determined to make the late-night show a success!
