Chapter 362

Takumi spent a few days constructing various systems.

Slowly, people began to notice changes in the city. Some intersections and roads were now equipped with unfamiliar devices, leaving many confused.

Although Takumi had set up the transportation system, he hadn't officially announced it yet. Because of this, people didn't pay much attention to it.

Meanwhile, at Liyue Harbor, officials had begun scanning citizens' data into the new household registration system. Within just a week, they had worked tirelessly to upload all the necessary information.

Once that was completed, Ningguang contacted Takumi.

Takumi had just finished dealing with several matters when he saw Ningguang's message in their group chat.

After thinking for a moment, he replied:

Takumi:

[Then let's get ready.]

[We'll begin tomorrow.]

[For tonight's evening news, have Baiwen make an announcement about this.]

[Let me inform her.]

As soon as Takumi sent the message, Ningguang responded.

Ningguang:

[Understood!]

[I'll have my people start preparations.]

[You take care of Baiwen's side.]

After that, Ningguang went offline.

Takumi didn't hesitate and immediately reached out to Baiwen, sending her a series of messages.

Since the announcement was about to be made, he decided to include all relevant updates in one go.

Takumi:

[Baiwen, I need you to report something on tonight's news.]

[First, regarding Liyue's household registration system—the General Affairs Department has established a new system.]

[Starting tomorrow, all Liyue citizens must bring their original identification and visit the Household Registration Section to receive their new ID cards.]

[Second, due to the increasing number of traffic violations in recent years, the Traffic Bureau has installed new monitoring and speed measurement systems throughout the city.]

[Anyone caught violating traffic laws will face penalties.]

Baiwen, who was leisurely drinking tea in her office at Liyue TV, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She immediately picked it up, knowing that any unexpected messages likely meant urgent work.

Upon opening Takumi's message, she was slightly surprised but quickly processed the information.

Baiwen:

[Understood, Lord Takumi.]

[I'll make the necessary arrangements now.]

She was already aware of these upcoming changes. After all, Bai Shi, who worked closely with Ningguang, had mentioned them during their casual chats.

Now that Takumi had officially sent the request, Baiwen knew it was time to act.

She copied Takumi's message, printed it out as an official document, and promptly left her office to begin preparations.

With only a few hours until the evening broadcast, she had to ensure everything was in place.

Meanwhile, Takumi, having completed the news arrangements, retrieved the Musou Isshin.

As he looked at the blade, a satisfied smile formed on his face.

It wouldn't be long now.

Soon, Raiden Makoto would be resurrected.

With that thought, he resumed injecting the Herrscher of Death's energy into the sword.

The weapon's power continued to grow, and within his perception, Makoto's consciousness seemed on the verge of awakening.

However, Takumi knew better than to rush things. The process wasn't quite complete yet. More energy still needed to be infused to meet the necessary threshold for full recovery.

Not even a few days remained now.

After finishing today's infusion, Takumi carefully stored the sword away.

With nothing pressing left to do, he decided to take a stroll.

As soon as he stepped outside, he encountered Shenhe, who had just returned.

Seeing her, Takumi's smile deepened. "Shenhe, let's go for a walk."

Shenhe blinked in surprise at the sudden invitation but quickly nodded. "Alright."

After briefly returning to her office to put away her things, she accompanied Takumi as they wandered through Guiliyuan.

Unintentionally, their walk led them to the docks.

At this time, Beidou had not yet set sail again. Her ship had already been unloaded of its cargo of Electro Crystals.

Now, she eagerly awaited her next departure.

This time, her route included stops at Liyue, Sumeru, and Fontaine.

Because of this, merchants were constantly delivering goods to her, requesting transportation services.

Even Diluc was involved.

Since his personal ship was still under construction, he relied on Beidou to transport his goods.

Takumi and Shenhe watched as container trucks arrived at the dock, loaded with goods bound for shipment.

Most of these were Diluc's, filled with crates of beverages.

Diluc was taking full advantage of this opportunity to expand his market.

He had nearly emptied his entire stockpile of drinks, not just selling them locally but preparing for export as well.

Surprisingly, his soft drink sales were proving more profitable than his alcohol sales, something that had caught even him off guard.

Now, he was eagerly waiting for his ship to be completed so he could scale up operations.

Half the cargo would be drinks, the other half… more drinks.

The docks were bustling with activity.

In the distance, Takumi spotted a large Mondstadt warehouse, equally busy.

Amber and Eula were hard at work, coordinating merchants as they loaded their goods into containers.

Mondstadt traders were continuously hauling their wares, securing them in containers before cranes lifted them onto Beidou's ship.

The scene was a testament to Liyue's flourishing trade network, expanding beyond its borders and connecting the regions like never before.
