Chapter 254

Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka chatted happily.

Both parties were very satisfied with their conversation.

They directly finalized several agreements.

Ningguang wanted to import Electro Crystals from Inazuma, along with a few other resources.

Meanwhile, Kamisato Ayaka planned to bring many goods from Liyue back to Inazuma.

Thus, they reached a direct cooperation agreement.

"Happy cooperation, Miss Kamisato."

Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka signed a series of contracts.

After finalizing the agreements, Ningguang smiled at Ayaka.

Hearing her words, Kamisato Ayaka also smiled and nodded.

"Happy cooperation, Miss Ningguang."

The two shook hands, both pleased with the outcome of their discussion.

"Next, Beidou will make another trip to Inazuma."

"She will transport the supplies you need."

"Write a letter back to Inazuma and have someone come to receive them."

Ningguang put away the signed contract and then addressed Kamisato Ayaka.

Hearing Ningguang's words, Ayaka nodded.

"Alright."

Someone from her household was usually stationed at the harbor, so she was not too concerned.

Thoma was probably there every day.

Thinking of her loyal retainer, Ayaka couldn't help but smile.

Thoma was a half-blood from Mondstadt and Inazuma.

Originally, he was from Mondstadt.

Perhaps she could bring him some Mondstadt wine—there seemed to be some available here.

If she had time later, she would check it out.

After chatting a while longer, Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka prepared to leave.

"Miss Kamisato, I have other matters to attend to."

"I won't be able to accompany you further."

"If you have time, do visit Liyue Harbor."

"I will host you properly."

Hearing Ningguang's words, Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

"Alright, Miss Ningguang."

"I will visit soon."

Since she was already in Liyue, it would be a pity not to explore Liyue Harbor.

After their farewells, Ningguang and Ganyu left.

Once they were gone, Kamisato Ayaka turned to Takumi and said:

"Mr. Takumi, I plan to go out alone next time."

"Please don't trouble yourself to entertain me."

"Go about your own business."

Hearing her say this, Takumi nodded.

"Alright."

"I won't disturb you then."

"If you need anything, call me directly."

"Or you can contact Keqing or Shenhe."

Ayaka nodded.

"Understood."

"Then, I'll be off."

After saying that, Ayaka turned and left.

She was curious about Liyue.

There were many places she had yet to visit.

She planned to explore freely.

And she also wanted to buy clothes.

She was quite interested in Liyue's clothing styles.

She had seen some beautiful dresses before.

If Takumi were with her, she would feel shy buying them.

But shopping alone allowed her to browse freely.

She had discussed many things with Ningguang earlier.

Some useful items would be beneficial for Inazuma.

Radios, for example, required electricity to function.

She had arranged with Ningguang to obtain some generators.

Ningguang would send alchemists to Inazuma to help set up a power supply.

As for electricity generation, Inazuma had an abundance of Electro energy.

The air itself contained a high concentration of Electro energy.

Some places, especially near thunderstorms, could even harvest electricity directly from the environment.

The alchemists trained by Takumi had now mastered various techniques.

They could even develop different types of generators for different regions.

The generators in Mondstadt were already well managed.

Takumi didn't need to intervene.

The contract between Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka also included training a group of electricians in Inazuma.

These electricians would help establish small-scale power grids.

Inazuma already had relay stones.

However, the exposed currents made them dangerous for household use.

Takumi had considered using relay stones instead of wires.

But the thought of exposed electricity in the air was too risky.

It was too easy for people to get electrocuted.

So, Takumi opted for high-voltage wires instead.

Once Ayaka had left, Takumi didn't linger at the General Affairs Department.

He headed straight to the shipyard to resume work.

New frigates were being built.

The ships completed yesterday were ready for launch.

They had to be tested today.

If everything went well, mass production could begin.

Many components were already prepared.

Now, they just needed to be assembled.

Meanwhile, Kamisato Ayaka arrived at Liyue's grand shopping mall.

She had heard that everything was sold here.

Curious, she entered.

Many people noticed her presence.

Her refined temperament made her stand out.

As soon as she entered the mall, she saw a liquor store.

After a moment of thought, she walked in.

This was Diluc's shop.

After the grand opening yesterday, business was slow today.

However, this did not concern Diluc.

He had already made a fortune from yesterday's sales.

For him, profits came in bursts.

That was Diluc's business strategy.

Today, he was still present.

For now, he remained in Liyue.

During the day, he supervised the renovation of his newly acquired property.

At night, he managed his tavern.

Now that his store was open, he monitored it during the day and attended to the tavern in the evening.

It was an enjoyable routine.

Diluc was handling accounts when he noticed a customer enter.

He looked up.

When he saw Kamisato Ayaka, a flash of surprise crossed his face.

"An Inazuman?"

Judging by her attire, he recognized her origins immediately.

Hearing his remark, Ayaka nodded.

"Hello."

"I am a traveler from Inazuma."

"Excuse me, do you sell Mondstadt wine here?"

She greeted Diluc politely, then curiously looked around.

There were many types of alcohol displayed.

Hearing her question, Diluc nodded.

"Yes."

"This is the Dawn Winery Outlet Store."

"Feel free to look around."

"If you need anything, let me know."

The "Outlet Store" concept had been suggested by Takumi.

And Diluc found it quite reasonable.

Thus, the sign outside read: "Dawn Winery Outlet Store."
