After Takumi told Albedo everything, he left.
Albedo, left with a headache, pondered over the computer in front of him.
Meanwhile, Takumi rode his motorcycle to the General Affairs Department.
On the way back, Takumi called Keqing directly, asking her to meet him there.
When Takumi arrived, Keqing was already waiting.
"Why did you call me here?" Keqing asked as soon as she saw him.
She was busy—many people wanted to buy land in Guiliyuan, and she needed to plan accordingly.
Takumi handed her the blueprints for a new mobile phone, along with a prototype, charger, and other accessories.
"This is the second-generation phone," he explained. "In the future, this phone will not only make calls but also send pictures and even play radio broadcasts. However, these features are not available yet."
"Take a copy and have it mass-produced."
"Also, this is a TV—think of it as an upgraded version of the radio. Make copies and start production."
"I will upgrade the server later. However, the new phone will not be released to the public just yet. Some things still need to be sorted out."
"For now, let's just have them manufactured. We'll use these phones internally. They're not perfect yet."
Hearing this, Keqing was puzzled. She examined the sleek phone in her hands, surprise flashing in her eyes.
It looked nice, but where were the buttons?
"How do you operate this?" she asked, confused.
Takumi motioned for her to come closer.
"I'll teach you."
Keqing nodded and stepped up to Takumi's side. He explained how the phone worked and swapped her SIM card into the new device.
As Takumi explained, Keqing's eyes lit up.
This phone was amazing! It could take photos, save them for later, and even send them to others.
It even had chat software—users could type messages, chat with people, and post pictures.
Keqing registered an account and added Takumi as a friend.
Although she found some features unreasonable, she didn't dwell on it.
And truthfully, she wasn't wrong.
Takumi's power was simply beyond reason. Anything that seemed impossible, he could make possible.
Once she had learned how to use the phone, Keqing suddenly realized something—she and Takumi were standing very close.
Looking at Takumi right beside her, her face turned red.
Just as she was about to step back, Shenhe entered the room.
Seeing the scene before her, Shenhe froze for a moment and looked at Keqing thoughtfully.
Keqing quickly moved away from Takumi.
Takumi, unfazed, took out another new phone and handed it to Shenhe.
"Shenhe, this is for you," he said. "It's the new phone. Come, I'll teach you how to use it."
Shenhe never refused Takumi's words—she approached him immediately, her uniform swaying as she walked.
She examined the phone in Takumi's hand with curiosity.
A new phone?
Hadn't they just developed one?
An upgrade already?
Wasn't this too soon?
But upon seeing the phone up close, she was amazed. It looked even better than the last one.
She was immediately intrigued.
Takumi instructed her to take out her old phone and swap the SIM card into the new one.
Then, he taught her how to operate it.
Listening to him, Shenhe finally understood what Keqing had been doing moments ago.
This was just a misunderstanding.
Once Shenhe had learned the functions, Takumi turned to Keqing.
"Next, have someone deliver these to Ningguang and Ganyu."
"Also, add all of Liyue's senior officials to a group chat."
"This will make communication easier."
Soon, the group chat for Liyue's leaders would be formed.
And then, they'd add Zhongli—the little sunspot himself.
Let him experience being roasted online.
Just thinking about it made Takumi emotional.
People in Liyue who knew the truth probably wouldn't be able to hold back their laughter.
"Emperor, I'm sorry."
Keqing had no idea what Takumi was thinking.
Hearing his instructions, she nodded.
If all of Liyue's top officials were in one chat group, discussions would be much easier.
"Alright," she agreed. "I'll deliver them personally."
"Prepare everything for me."
She felt she had to go herself to teach Ningguang how to use the phone.
For some reason, Keqing felt a sense of superiority.
She knew how to use it, but Ningguang didn't!
Takumi didn't think much of it and produced more phones for her to take back to Ningguang and her associates.
At the same time, Takumi planned to distribute more phones to the higher-ups in Guiliyuan.
In the future, there'd be no need to contact everyone individually.
Thinking about this, Takumi created even more devices.
He handed some to Shenhe to deliver to Liyue's senior officials.
For now, this was enough.
Later, he'd give some to Noelle and Lumine.
And Jean, too—she should get one as well.
It would make communication easier.
From time to time, he could even ask her for pictures or updates.
That would be great.
Jean surely missed her sister.
Now they could add each other as friends and chat.
The day when people could watch "Miss and Sister" interact online was approaching.
After all, this was Teyvat.
Just the thought of it was exciting.
Meanwhile, Takumi realized something—Inazuma needed to hurry up.
If they put the Raiden Shogun online, would she cut down the internet cables in a fit of rage?
Hmm... 4.6.
If Takumi thought about it carefully, she might actually show up and slice him down without hesitation.
A certain mysterious bard, Venti.
The guest of the mysterious Wangshu Inn, Zhongli.
The mysterious girl, Nahida.
And Ah Lumine—the one who truly had no hesitation in cutting anyone.
The honest Ah Lumine, the first cutting champion of Teyvat.
If the internet truly took off, she would surely go online.
Perhaps there was a real possibility of thunder striking people randomly.
Or maybe an internet troll would suddenly get crushed by a rock spear from the sky.
Even if they had no intention of tracking down troublemakers, they knew their addresses.
"The sky is falling."
Ah, this, this...
The mental image was too vivid.
