Chapter 364

Liyue News Network began its broadcast.

At this time, many people were sitting in front of their televisions, watching the day's news.

Ever since Takumi introduced TV to Liyue, it had been widely embraced by the people.

With nothing much to do in the evenings, many residents made it a habit to watch the news while having dinner, keeping up with the latest developments in Liyue.

After all, Liyue's news network had become a key platform for official government announcements.

As usual, the news program started, but this time, the first segment took many viewers by surprise.

The broadcast focused on the new ID card system.

Alongside the announcement, the specifications of the new ID cards were displayed.

This was likely coordinated by Baiwen and Keqing.

As the ID cards appeared on screen, many people's eyes lit up.

These new cards would make identification more secure and nearly impossible to fake.

This was a welcome change!

The locations where people could apply for the new ID cards were listed in the broadcast.

Starting tomorrow, residents could visit the General Affairs Department or designated Qianyan Army offices to apply.

Many people silently made a note of the announcement, planning to get it done as soon as possible.

Since the transition was mandatory, failing to obtain the new ID could result in the old ones being invalidated.

And with the new system in place, the ID card would soon become necessary for all transactions and official matters.

Because of this, most citizens were highly cooperative upon hearing the news, resolving to visit the appropriate offices the next day.

Even though they weren't entirely sure about all the details, they understood that compliance was best.

Liyue was constantly evolving, and it was always wise to stay ahead of policy changes.

Who knew what might happen next?

Once the ID card segment ended, the news moved on to traffic regulations.

Hearing the announcements, many habitual speeders suddenly felt uneasy.

Good grief, so that's what those devices were for?!

Among them, Hu Tao was particularly stunned.

Watching the segment, she felt that the cameras and speed detectors were targeting her specifically.

Seriously?!

Had Takumi set this up just for her?

As she realized the implications, Hu Tao suddenly felt a little deflated.

She would have to warn her subordinates to keep a low profile.

The penalties for violations were now severe.

If a driver's license was revoked, they wouldn't be allowed to retake the test for three years.

Driving without a valid license would result in imprisonment.

Emm…

If someone from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor got caught, she might never see them again.

Better to lay low for now.

After some contemplation, Hu Tao picked up her phone and sent a message to her group, instructing everyone to be cautious.

Today's news had certainly been informative.

After the broadcast, many people became curious about what other changes were coming.

Online discussions exploded, with many debating the impact of the new regulations.

At the same time, Takumi was browsing the internet, observing the discussions.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Liyue's internet user base had grown significantly.

However, the government had yet to fully utilize it.

Why weren't they leveraging this platform for public outreach?

Even Ei had set up her own social media account, sharing posts that attracted a significant audience.

She was just an adventurer, yet she understood the importance of online presence.

Did the officials not realize this?

Muttering to himself, Takumi pulled out his phone and sent a message to Liyue's internal work group.

Takumi:

[@All members, starting tomorrow, all departments must operate their own Weibo accounts. Encourage Liyue citizens to follow your official accounts.]

[From now on, all important announcements should be made via Weibo.]

Many officials were at home having dinner when they saw the message, immediately taken aback.

Despite not fully understanding the reasoning, they acknowledged the instruction.

After sending the directive, Takumi paid it no further mind.

Seriously, did they think the internet was just for fun?

It was a powerful promotional tool.

He had already pointed it out. The rest was up to them.

But thinking about it, there wasn't currently anyone managing Weibo or online communication platforms.

That wasn't ideal either.

Perhaps he should ask Ei to develop an AI system?

Something akin to an automated general?

Hmm, that might actually work.

However, first things first—Raiden Makoto's resurrection.

That was the priority.

Takumi made up his mind.

Once Makoto was revived, he would discuss AI development with Ei.

The Next Morning

A long queue had formed outside the General Affairs Department.

Other designated offices also saw similar crowds gathering.

Keqing had left early to oversee operations.

"Wow!" Klee gasped in amazement. "Brother Takumi, look at all these people!"

Hearing her excitement, Takumi chuckled.

"Yep. Everyone's here to get their ID cards today."

"Come on, I'll take you inside. I also need to get ID cards for Qiqi and Yaoyao."

With that, Takumi led the little ones into the General Affairs Department.

Along the way, many people greeted him.

Inside, the office was bustling with activity.

Some people were already leaving, looking pleased with their newly issued IDs.

Klee and the others watched in fascination.

Takumi brought Klee and Qiqi into his office.

Then, he began processing ID cards for Qiqi and Yaoyao.

Qiqi's household registration was listed under Baizhu.

Yaoyao's was registered under Ganyu.

Since Keqing and Ganyu were their guardians, this arrangement made sense.

A short while later, both girls received their ID cards.

Seeing this, Klee became restless.

"Brother Takumi! Brother Takumi!!"

"I want one too!!"

Takumi rolled his eyes.

"You're from Mondstadt."

"Are you planning to become a Liyue citizen?"

"Mondstadt doesn't have this system yet."

Klee was from Mondstadt, after all.

Jean hadn't yet decided whether to implement a household registration system there.

If she did, Takumi could set it up later.

But for now…

He couldn't just make Klee a Liyue citizen, could he?

Klee blinked, then looked at Qiqi's ID card carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"Here, here!"

"Klee recognizes these words!"

"Just change my address to Brother Takumi's house!"

"Then I'll be part of Brother Takumi's family!"

Klee had made her decision—she would become a Liyue citizen from now on!
