Chapter 394

Takumi was speechless when he heard Kaeya's invitation.

You don't have to think much to know what this guy is planning.

There must be something he needs help with. Otherwise, Kaeya wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

"Next time!" Takumi nodded towards Kaeya.

Well, next time for sure.

At this moment, Jean couldn't help but continue,

"Takumi, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Takumi came to Mond at her invitation—to help with some system-related matters.

Takumi shook his head. "This is cooperation, isn't it? There's nothing to worry about."

Jean nodded. She didn't dwell on the subject any further.

At this moment, Lisa approached with a cup of black tea for both of them.

"Thanks! Finally, I get to drink Miss Lisa's tea again. I've been looking forward to it," Takumi praised as he picked up the cup and took a sip.

Hearing Takumi's compliment, a smile flashed in Lisa's eyes.

"It seems like you like it very much, Takumi. If you're interested, you can visit the library sometime, and I can teach you more."

Before Takumi could respond, Keqing shot him a look.

Takumi coughed a few times. "There's a chance!"

Yes, Sister Lisa, I'll visit the library when I have time.

The two joked around, but no one took it seriously.

Lisa returned to Jean's side and sat down. Immediately afterward, they began to discuss business.

Takumi started,

"It will take a few days to set up Mond's household registration system. Some equipment is still on the way. Once everything arrives, I'll install it for you. In the meantime, let me introduce you to the household registration system and the transportation system."

Everyone nodded, clearly looking forward to it.

Takumi then began explaining the importance of the ID card and household registration system. This system had many uses, especially since Mond had begun adopting mobile phones.

Takumi suggested that Jean also implement real-name authentication.

The current network had no barriers. Although many Mondstadt citizens hadn't purchased mobile phones yet, as time passed, more and more people would have access to the internet.

Therefore, real-name authentication had to be implemented. Not only in Mond but also in other nations.

Takumi provided a detailed explanation of the network, household registration system, and various other systems to everyone, outlining the capabilities of the internet.

After Takumi finished speaking, Lisa commented,

"Speaking of which, this network is somewhat similar to Sumeru's Void System. However, the Void System there is primarily used for obtaining knowledge. Although it's convenient, it also has certain side effects."

For example, it could manipulate people or even cause mental instability.

The Void System was a legacy left by the previous Dendro Archon, allowing most Sumerians to gain knowledge through it. The concept was quite similar to the internet.

Hearing Lisa's words, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

"Void System? That sounds interesting."

Could it be Sumeru's version of the internet?

If his signal could reach Sumeru, he might even be able to study the Void System thoroughly.

Takumi's eyes lit up. He had heard that some people in Sumeru were troublesome. And that Nahida still lacked proper authority?

How about executing a plan to liberate the Dendro Archon?

Either by direct confrontation or a cyber-attack, Takumi could infiltrate their system and teach those so-called "Grand Sages" a lesson.

If the network was connected, it would be interesting to see how they would react.

"If you have the chance, you should check it out," Lisa said with a knowing smile.

Takumi shrugged. "If there's a chance, I'll definitely take a look."

The conversation didn't dwell on the topic for too long.

Barbara then brought up her request.

"Takumi, I want to establish Mond's TV station next. Please help me with it."

Barbara looked forward to his response.

Takumi nodded. "A TV station is simple. You've been learning about it for a while now, right? The equipment didn't arrive with this shipment, but I'll get you a set later. However, you'll need a dedicated building for it. Where do you plan to set it up?"

To be honest, there weren't many suitable locations in Mond.

The largest buildings were the Knights of Favonius headquarters and the Church.

If they wanted a proper TV station, a separate building was necessary.

Hearing this, Jean interjected,

"I'm already planning to demolish some of Mond's older buildings and rebuild them. New infrastructures, including the TV station, will be established there. Construction is already underway."

Mondstadt was now engaged in large-scale infrastructure projects. Many workers who had previously gone to Liyue for jobs were returning to Mond to contribute.

Barbara nodded. Jean had already informed her about this plan.

Since there were no problems, Takumi had nothing else to add.

"That's great. Once your building is ready, I'll provide the necessary equipment."

Barbara quickly agreed. She was familiar with the process by now.

After these discussions, Keqing started negotiating trade matters with Jean. This was part of her mission in Mond.

Takumi didn't interrupt. He sipped on Lisa's black tea quietly.

Kaeya took this opportunity to approach him.

"Mr. Takumi," he began, "sell me a flying motorcycle. I'm very interested."

Takumi rolled his eyes. He had anticipated this.

This guy was indeed up to something.

"Want a bike?" Takumi smirked, rubbing his fingers together. "Mora first."

No free rides!

Takumi had always been generous to others, but when it came to business, he didn't hand things out for free—unless he felt like it!
