Chapter 338

Beidou began to prepare for the sea in full swing.

Sign up if you want a container.

Bring all the goods you need.

Pack them into empty containers.

It doesn't matter if you rent one with several people.

Either way, as long as you pay, Beidou will help transport the goods.

The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Diluc also received the news.

Diluc even came over in person to discuss with Beidou.

He booked a ship and even paid in advance.

However, since the ship wasn't built yet, Beidou could only help transport the cargo for now.

Containers were being filled one by one.

They were then hoisted aside by a large crane and secured.

Each container had its own number, making the process more efficient.

Diluc found it more convenient this way.

After discussing it with Beidou, he requested ten containers.

He arranged for trucks from his company to pick them up, and the cranes loaded the containers onto the trucks in an organized manner.

While Beidou was in full swing with preparations, Takumi suddenly called her.

Seeing that it was Takumi, Beidou was puzzled.

She answered the call and was soon frustrated.

Takumi told her not to take on too many goods because he needed space for other items.

For example, cranes and other necessary equipment.

He couldn't rely on manpower alone to unload cargo once they reached Inazuma and other destinations.

Beidou understood immediately.

While unloading in Liyue was no issue, other countries didn't have the same facilities.

To unload efficiently, they needed cranes.

Realizing this, Beidou agreed without further argument.

Besides cranes, they also needed tractors for transportation.

Takumi had specially designed a movable boom mechanism on the massive freighter.

This would assist in unloading cargo.

However, if they lacked transportation upon arrival, moving the goods would still be a problem.

So, tractors were necessary as well.

Beidou understood the importance of this.

Therefore, they couldn't carry too many extra goods.

After receiving a few hundred containers, Beidou stopped taking more.

Diluc, along with many chambers of commerce and Kamisato Ayaka, had already reserved most of the available space.

If Beidou continued accepting more goods, she would exceed capacity.

Of course, many merchants were also eager to join the voyage.

Everyone was excited about Beidou's massive ship setting sail.

They hoped that in the future, more goods could be transported to foreign lands.

Once Beidou finished preparations, Takumi's ship was finally completed.

After its construction, Takumi immediately launched the vessel.

When Beidou heard the news, she rushed over.

Looking at the enormous ship in front of her, Beidou couldn't contain her excitement.

"Goodness!"

"Hahahaha!"

"It's huge!"

"Wow, this is incredible!"

Seeing Beidou laughing non-stop, Takumi was a bit speechless.

"Alright, stop laughing."

"After the test, start loading your cargo onto the ship."

"I'm going to transport the tractors and other equipment to the dock."

After saying that, Takumi turned and left.

Hearing Takumi's words, Beidou calmed down.

Yes, they weren't done yet.

They needed to test the ship to ensure there were no issues.

However, Beidou trusted Takumi completely.

Since Takumi built the ship himself, there was no doubt it would be functional.

For Beidou, the test was just a formality.

Takumi had checked the entire ship using the Herrscher's power—nothing could possibly go wrong.

Before leaving, Takumi instructed Jiang Ji to start building another large ship.

There was still an outstanding order to fulfill.

After giving these instructions, Takumi left to prepare.

Cranes, tractors, large containers, and other essential equipment were transported to the dock.

Ningguang was already aware that Takumi was heading to Inazuma, so there was no need for further explanation.

During Takumi's absence, Shen He would handle affairs back home.

She had become more adept at managing responsibilities, so leaving things in her hands was not an issue.

Keqing and the others had finalized their arrangements in the past few days.

Diona, who was joining the trip for fun, also made sure the tavern was managed by the clerks she had recruited.

That way, she could travel with Klee and the others to Inazuma without worries.

Beidou tested the ship's controls.

She also tested the mechanism boom.

After confirming everything was in working order, she ordered the ship to dock at the designated pier.

The arrival of such a massive ship caused a sensation among the dock workers.

Everyone was in awe of its size.

Beidou, now overseeing the loading, got to work.

She instructed her crew to start moving the containers onto the ship using the mechanism boom.

The port also had mechanical booms, which lifted containers from the dock onto the ship.

Once aboard, the ship's built-in boom arranged the containers neatly.

Since it was their first time using the boom system, the process was slow.

But there was no need to rush.

Beidou took the opportunity to familiarize her crew with the new vessel.

Meanwhile, workers transported various supplies onto the ship.

Beidou's crew was thrilled.

The ship was incredibly spacious—even their living quarters were luxurious compared to before.

It felt like a dream.

At the same time, Kaedehara Kazuha was assisting with the process.

Now a member of Beidou's crew, he specialized in inventory management and logistics.

Returning to Inazuma was a complicated feeling for him.

Although he didn't know the exact situation in Inazuma, it seemed like things had stabilized.

The nation was no longer at war.

Thinking of an old friend, Kazuha sighed.

Shaking off his thoughts, he focused on counting the supplies being loaded.

Fortunately, when the dock was originally built, Takumi had ensured Klee reinforced it with explosives, preventing any risk of collapse under the massive ship's weight.

One by one, containers were loaded and secured.

Even late into the night, workers continued their tasks.

Once the last container was in place, the crew responsible for operating the mechanical boom let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow, that was exhausting."

"If we have to do this all the time, it's going to be tiring."

Stepping off the ship, one worker voiced his complaints.

Hearing him, the other sailors laughed.

But their wages had increased significantly.

Beidou had already announced that from this day forward, their pay would rise alongside the ship's earnings.

The more Beidou earned, the more they would earn.

Beidou had never been stingy with her crew.
