Chapter 334

That might be a good idea.

Let the Adepti be teachers.

Many of them possess vast knowledge.

If they were to teach, it would be highly beneficial.

It could even encourage students to pay more attention in class.

After all, learning directly from an Adeptus is a rare opportunity.

Since Adepti can transform into human forms, there wouldn't be any concerns about recognition.

However, Takumi wasn't too interested in managing this matter.

He decided to leave it to Zhongli.

As the head of the Ministry of Education, Zhongli should be the one to make such decisions.

Takumi had no intention of interfering too much.

After drinking tea with Zhongli, the two took a walk around the school.

By now, the campus was bustling with activity.

Many parents had arrived with their children.

Some students who had been sent here were also exploring the campus and familiarizing themselves with the environment.

Some children had come from Liyue Harbor.

These children would be staying on campus.

This meant that, from the moment they arrived, they would learn how to live independently.

For younger students, special instructors would be assigned to guide them.

There were also life instructors present on campus.

At the same time, the school cafeteria had opened.

Renowned chefs had been hired.

The food was exceptionally good.

And of course, Zhongli had ensured that only the best food was served.

Everyone knew Zhongli was particular about quality.

If the meals weren't up to his standards, the chefs wouldn't last long.

The teachers ate the same meals as the students.

So, the food was guaranteed to be excellent.

However, one rule was clear—no seafood.

Zhongli absolutely refused to eat mollusks.

After having a meal at the teacher's dining hall, Takumi left.

Upon returning to the General Affairs Department, Takumi saw Diluc pulling up in a vehicle.

Seeing him, Takumi was slightly surprised.

"Perfect timing, I was just about to look for you."

"Want to talk?"

Seeing Takumi, Diluc stopped his car and got out.

"I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Takumi was intrigued.

"Go ahead."

He was curious—what did Diluc want to talk about?

Was he here to check on the shipbuilding progress?

If so, then he'd be disappointed—it wasn't done yet.

The Beidou battleships had yet to enter the water.

The two entered the office, and Diluc explained his reason for visiting.

"I visited your car factory and saw how they use assembly lines."

"That got me thinking—can I have your workshop build some automated juice production lines?"

"The cola we're producing is selling out too fast."

"If we rely on manual labor, we can't produce nearly enough."

Hearing this, Takumi was surprised.

"That's no problem at all."

"You can go directly to the mechanical workshop."

"They can set it up for you, and you can transport it back by truck."

"Just hire someone to install it once it arrives."

"You don't need to come to me for this."

Did Diluc really need his help with such a straightforward task?

Hearing Takumi's response, Diluc gave him a sharp look.

"The people at the alchemy workshop said no one could enter without your approval."

"I wasn't even allowed past the door."

"What do you suggest I do?"

Takumi suddenly remembered—he had set strict access restrictions for the workshop.

No wonder Diluc had come straight to him.

After a brief pause, Takumi said:

"Alright."

"I'll arrange for a dedicated counter at the workshop."

"If you need anything, you can go there and place an order."

"They can produce whatever you need, from automated cola production lines to automated brewing setups."

This was indeed a necessary change.

Perhaps the workers at the alchemy and mechanical workshops could earn some extra money on the side.

They had no major projects at the moment, so this could be a good opportunity for them.

Machines for automated production were in high demand.

Even Cloud Retainer might take an interest in this.

After securing Takumi's agreement, Diluc continued:

"Next, I'm planning to expand into new markets."

"I've realized that drinks are a promising business."

"As production costs have decreased, my juices have become much more profitable."

"In fact, they're making more money than alcohol."

Diluc looked slightly exasperated as he said this.

It was absurd—his drinks were now outselling his wines.

Hearing this, Takumi laughed.

"That's great."

"You should consider making coconut milk."

"If you blend coconut milk with tea leaves, the flavor is exceptional."

"Much better than regular coconut water."

"Just make sure to preserve it naturally."

"Don't use artificial preservatives—use spices instead."

"That'll make for a top-tier beverage."

"You should experiment with it."

Takumi directly suggested that Diluc research coconut milk production.

In the future, Ganyu could even be its spokesperson.

Qiqi would definitely love it.

Listening to Takumi's suggestion, Diluc nodded.

"Coconut milk sounds interesting, but we'd need to plant a lot of coconut trees along the coast."

"Alright, I'll look into it."

"If it works well, I'll purchase land to start coconut milk production."

The idea was promising.

After their discussion, Diluc also settled Takumi's share of the profits from their cola business.

Since Takumi had a stake in it, Diluc wanted to ensure he received his earnings.

He even asked for Takumi's bank details to deposit profits into his account regularly.

After sorting out the financial details, Diluc left.

Afterward, Takumi took out his phone and sent a message to Shen He.

He instructed her to arrange for a small service window at the workshop.

A dedicated staff member would be assigned to handle customer inquiries and orders.

Additionally, custom orders would be charged at a slightly higher rate.

This would allow the workers to earn extra income.

Even the staff at the service window could be managed by the Millelith.

They just needed to coordinate with them.

Upon receiving Takumi's message, Shen He was puzzled.

But she quickly agreed.

She happened to be at the workshop, so she immediately started making the necessary arrangements.

After handling these matters, Takumi remembered something.

He had planned to add a logo to the news broadcast but hadn't done it yet.

He had almost forgotten about it.

Now was the perfect time to take care of it.

Takumi immediately got up and headed out to finalize it.
