Chapter 271

Albedo said his farewells to Takumi and left immediately.

He also had a motorcycle, a gift from Takumi.

Riding his own vehicle, Albedo headed straight for the snow-capped mountains.

Not long after Albedo left, Klee ran over.

"Brother Takumi!"

"Brother Albedo is gone!!"

Hearing her words, Takumi blinked.

Seeing Klee's anxious expression, Takumi was puzzled.

"Didn't Albedo tell you?"

"He went to Dragonspine."

"He just left."

When Klee heard this, she was stunned.

"Eh?"

"Going to Dragonspine?"

"But Brother Albedo hasn't given me the Bounce Bomb yet!!"

She pouted in dissatisfaction.

She had just gone to find Albedo to get her Dodoco bombs.

But Albedo was already gone.

This made Klee very disappointed.

"Aren't you going to call him?"

Takumi looked at Klee and asked helplessly.

Little one, why not just call Albedo?

After being reminded by Takumi, Klee finally came to her senses.

Oh right!

She had her own mobile phone.

Thinking of this, Klee took out her phone and searched for Albedo's number.

She prepared to call him.

However, the call wouldn't go through.

"Albedo is driving right now."

"So, the call can't connect."

"What's the issue with your bomb?"

Takumi reminded her gently.

Hearing Takumi's words, Klee put away her phone with a disappointed expression.

"I wanted Brother Albedo to make me some Bounce Bombs that could go into the water and explode."

"But he left before giving them to me."

Hearing this, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ah, that."

"I can make them for you."

"Here, take these."

Seeing her dejected expression, Takumi found it amusing.

Without hesitation, Takumi started creating the bombs.

Previously, he had been busy with work and hadn't had time to help Klee.

That's why she had gone to find Albedo.

Otherwise, she would have just asked Takumi directly.

After all, when it came to explosives, Takumi was fully capable of handling it.

But Klee knew Takumi was very busy, so she didn't bother him much.

Hearing Takumi's words, Klee's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Great!"

"Thank you, Brother Takumi."

"Klee wants bouncing bombs that can go into the sea."

"I saw a really big fish before."

"So Klee wants to catch it!"

As she spoke, she made exaggerated gestures.

Klee, are you eyeing a shark?

Though curious, Takumi still made the bombs she wanted.

Then he handed them all over to Klee.

Seeing the bombs, Klee was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Brother Takumi!"

"I'm going now."

"I won't disturb your work!"

After packing up her bombs, Klee waved at Takumi and ran out excitedly.

Takumi shook his head and didn't think too much about it.

Instead, he returned his focus to his work.

After finishing his tasks, Takumi began preparing books on programming.

Since the network and computers were now available, the next step was to train programmers.

To train programmers, they needed textbooks.

And those textbooks had to be written from scratch.

Takumi extracted the knowledge from his mind.

Once the books were complete, Takumi reviewed them thoroughly.

After ensuring everything was correct, he finalized them.

The first book explained the fundamentals of networks and computers.

Once that was finished, Takumi moved on to the second book, covering how to build a network.

After completing the books, he double-checked everything.

Once satisfied, he made multiple copies—hundreds of them.

These books would now be used by the alchemists.

Specifically, the alchemy apprentices.

The goal was to have them learn this new knowledge.

Later, when the school was established, he would teach the subject himself.

Takumi also planned to sell the books in bookstores.

Speaking of which, he suddenly realized something.

There weren't many entertainment options in Guiliyuan.

That needed to change.

There weren't many bookstores either.

It was time to open one.

Wasn't Yae Miko coming over soon?

Perfect timing—she could establish Yae Publishing House.

He could introduce her to light novels.

At that point, he could also get people to write stories.

Once light novels became popular, anime and other forms of entertainment could follow.

That would be quite interesting.

Now that most necessities were covered, it was time to focus on entertainment.

As for military matters?

No rush.

Things couldn't be rushed.

Takumi began jotting down his plans.

In addition to entertainment, the medical and education sectors also needed improvement.

There was a lot to do.

Takumi still had a long road ahead.

Just as he was finalizing his plans, Keqing returned from Liyue Harbor.

Seeing her, Takumi spoke directly:

"You came back just in time."

"Make the arrangements."

"Distribute these books."

"There are three sets in total."

"Give them to those who are willing to learn."

"Also, integrate this content into the curriculum."

"Let the alchemy apprentices take this course."

"Those who show no talent should consider switching to programming."

"We need more programmers."

Hearing Takumi's words, Keqing looked confused.

"Programmers?"

"What's that?"

"And these books?"

Curious, she stepped forward and picked up a book.

She glanced at the contents.

Hmm… she didn't understand it at all.

She recognized the words, but when put together, they made no sense to her.

After all, she had never studied alchemy or anything similar before.

"Programmers are essential for building and maintaining networks."

"In the future, we'll need programmers for everything."

"Right now, only Albedo and I understand this field."

"That's obviously not enough."

"So, distribute these books."

"Let the alchemy workshop apprentices study them if they're interested."

Hearing this, Keqing nodded.

Putting the incomprehensible book back, she said:

"Understood."

"I'll call people to move these books."

"By the way, Ningguang asked me to tell you something."

"You should start considering expanding the military force here."

"The Qianyan Army isn't enough anymore."

Keqing relayed the message.

Hearing her words, Takumi was a bit surprised.
