Chapter 339

After some busy work, all the containers were loaded.

It was exhausting for the person responsible for controlling the mechanism boom, but they gradually got used to it.

By the next day, Takumi and the others arrived early.

Under his control, the cargo ship's lift deck was slowly lowered.

When Beidou saw this scene, she immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Good grief."

"Is there something I don't know about?"

Could the ship actually do this?

With the deck lowered, vehicles could directly drive onto the freighter.

Hearing her words, Takumi sighed.

"You didn't read the manual, did you? Who's to blame?"

"I distinctly remember giving it to you."

However, Beidou was even more confused.

"Give me a break!"

"You obviously didn't give me anything."

"You just vanished after getting the ship into the water."

"If my crew hadn't studied how to operate warships, we probably wouldn't even be able to drive this thing."

Saying that, Beidou suddenly felt the urge to curse.

Takumi was stunned at first, then looked a little embarrassed.

Quickly, he pulled out the instruction manual for the freighter.

"Ahem."

"That was my oversight."

"Here, take it."

Beidou snorted but didn't hesitate to grab the manual and start reading.

"Wait, what???"

"There are so many mechanisms on this ship?"

"The upper deck is movable??"

"After the containers are loaded, they can shift from one side to the other?"

"Good grief, why did my crew struggle so much with loading yesterday?"

Looking at the ship's mechanism diagrams, Beidou was stunned.

This ship was a fully functional moving fortress.

Takumi shrugged.

"I forgot."

"Alright, enough talking. Just get everything loaded up quickly."

"Then we'll set off for Inazuma."

After saying that, Takumi quickly left the scene.

He had designed many features on the ship for convenience, even sacrificing additional cabin space to accommodate them.

Otherwise, the lower deck could have been made even larger, possibly including full living quarters.

But now, most of the lower deck was occupied by mechanisms.

This was why the construction process had taken longer.

Beidou watched Takumi walk away and sighed.

This guy was truly unreliable!

But she let it go. She was too pleased with the ship to stay mad.

The control room alone was several stories high and could accommodate many people.

It was a true sea fortress.

Still, she had one concern—would the docks in Inazuma even be able to accommodate a ship this size?

Well, since Takumi was coming along, she could always make him deepen the port if necessary.

No problem!

With that in mind, Beidou focused on studying the manual.

Meanwhile, Takumi began guiding the construction vehicles onto the ship.

These were essential for unloading cargo upon arrival.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayaka had already boarded the ship.

Looking at the vessel in front of her, she hesitated before calling her brother.

She instructed him to make preparations and clear some space at the docks.

Liyue was bringing a massive shipment.

If there wasn't enough room at the port, it would be embarrassing.

She quickly made arrangements to clear the area.

The Arataki Gang might come in handy—she could have them assist in expanding the docks.

At Liyue Harbor, many people gathered to witness the massive ship.

They were all in awe.

This thing was enormous!

Many onlookers had come just to see it in person.

Even Ningguang had made her way over from Liyue Harbor.

Takumi noticed her as he finalized arrangements.

Ningguang walked up to him, gazing at the ship with admiration.

"It's massive!"

"You could transport an incredible amount of goods at once."

Then she turned to Takumi with a curious expression.

"Can you build one that flies in the sky?"

Takumi stared at her in disbelief.

"Really? You want to fly now?"

"Even if I built it, where would you land it?"

"Where would you fly it?"

Takumi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing this, Ningguang chuckled.

"If you can build it, I'd make a place for it to land."

"This would be far larger than the Jade Chamber, wouldn't it?"

"A flying ship like that would be amazing."

"It would make travel so much easier."

Takumi shrugged.

"That's just a giant floating shuttle."

"I get it."

"So, when are you planning to challenge Celestia?"

"Just say the word, and I'll build it for you."

"By the way, isn't the Tsaritsa planning a rebellion against the gods?"

"Maybe you should collaborate with her?"

Hearing his words, Takumi suddenly fell into thought.

Or maybe he should intervene directly?

He could just supply the Tsaritsa with high-tech weapons and let her fight Celestia.

Then he could sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

Wasn't the Tsaritsa supposed to be some kind of formidable leader?

He wondered if she was truly as powerful as rumored.

If so, Takumi found the idea quite interesting.

Maybe he should infiltrate the Fatui himself.

The Twelfth Harbinger—Takumi Fork?

Hmm…

But wait, he wasn't into wearing kimonos!

"Your thoughts are dangerous."

"Don't even think about it."

Ningguang, who had been listening, was startled.

Good grief, Takumi was actually considering supplying the Tsaritsa with weapons to fight Celestia?

That was insane!

Ningguang immediately gave him a disapproving glare.

If Rex Lapis were still around, he'd probably rise from his grave just to smack Takumi.

Was this how he intended to develop Liyue?

She even wondered if Takumi's trip to Inazuma had ulterior motives.

Was he planning to bring Inazuma under Liyue's control?

Renaming it Liyue-Inazuma Province?

Hiss~!

For some reason, the idea was strangely tempting.

Maybe even Liyue-Sumeru?

Good grief!

The thought excited her.

However, Takumi wouldn't actually do something like that… right?

Shaking her head, Ningguang dismissed the idea as absurd.

Takumi, meanwhile, noticed her odd expression.

What was this rich lady thinking now?

She told him not to entertain dangerous thoughts, yet now she seemed lost in her own grand schemes.

So, he wasn't allowed to think about it, but she could?

How unfair!
