Chapter 422

Keqing ran directly in front of Takumi and said, visibly frustrated:

"Didn't you say that the teleportation anchor can carry a ton of cargo? Then why did the Qianyan Army almost collapse when they tried transporting some minerals from Liyue Harbor?"

Hearing this, Takumi blinked and thought for a moment before realizing the issue.

"Ah, I guess I didn't make it clear enough," he admitted. "A ton applies to those with a Vision. And even then, it depends on their physical strength. Ordinary Qianyan Army soldiers don't have the endurance for that kind of pressure."

Takumi felt slightly embarrassed—he hadn't explained it properly before.

Kamisato Ayaka sighed. "Takumi, you should clarify these things better. A small mistake could lead to serious consequences."

Takumi scratched his head. "Yeah, that was my bad. But if someone has spatial equipment, they can transport as much as they want."

Keqing and Ayaka looked at each other, momentarily speechless.

"Spatial equipment?" Keqing repeated. "Do you mean the Vision? The storage space in a Vision is too small. It's not practical at all."

She looked at Takumi, hesitated for a moment, then spoke with hopeful anticipation.

"Takumi... can you..."

Takumi raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on. Let's see if I can help."

He had some thoughts, but he kept them to himself for now.

After a brief pause, Keqing continued, "Can you develop spatial equipment? Both the Vision and the Gnosis have storage capabilities. Can you replicate that and create independent storage devices?"

Takumi considered the question carefully before responding, "In theory, yes."

Creating spatial equipment wasn't beyond his capabilities. Especially since he possessed the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

Opening up a spatial pocket inside an object? That was easy.

After some thought, Takumi formulated a plan.

Hearing his response, Keqing's eyes lit up. "Really? Then hurry up and make it happen!"

"If large-scale spatial equipment could be developed, it would revolutionize logistics and transport!"

Kamisato Ayaka also looked at Takumi expectantly.

Could this really be possible?

"Well… it's not a big problem," Takumi said confidently. "I can make one right now."

He immediately got to work.

Using materials similar to the Gnosis and Vision, he began crafting the storage device.

Within minutes, a peculiar-looking jade ring materialized in his hand.

It looked like an ordinary ring, but it was imbued with spatial capabilities.

Once it was complete, Takumi turned to Keqing and said, "Hold out your hand."

Keqing, staring at the ring in Takumi's hand, hesitated for a moment before cautiously extending her right hand.

Takumi quickly took her hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.

Keqing suddenly realized—he had put it on her ring finger.

(QAQ)

"It's done," Takumi declared. "This storage device should be more than enough for you."

Keqing's face turned slightly red. She glanced at Takumi suspiciously, feeling like he had taken advantage of her.

Ayaka, watching from the side, had a strange expression as well.

Takumi turned to her next. "Miss Ayaka, you get one too. Hold out your hand."

"This ring is bound to its owner, meaning only you can access its storage."

Ayaka hesitated but eventually extended her hand.

Takumi swiftly slipped the ring onto her finger as well.

Keqing, witnessing this, felt a pang of inexplicable jealousy.

He had just put a ring on her, and now he was doing it for someone else?

"You sure move fast," she muttered under her breath.

Ayaka also felt a strange sense of guilt.

Was this really okay?

Yet… it was strangely thrilling.

She glanced at Keqing, sensing the tension, and her guilt deepened.

Takumi, oblivious to their reactions, smiled. "Alright, all set. These rings contain ample storage space. You should have no issues transporting goods."

Keqing, still slightly flustered, asked, "Can these be mass-produced?"

Takumi raised an eyebrow. "Do you think the Gnosis can be mass-produced? The material used in these rings is similar. What do you think?"

Keqing instantly fell silent.

Right… the same material as the Gnosis?

That was not something just anyone could afford.

Even she couldn't.

With that realization, Keqing dropped the topic.

Mass production wasn't feasible.

As for asking Takumi to make more? Maybe occasionally, but not on a large scale.

Liyue had developed greatly thanks to Takumi's innovations, but they had to be careful not to rely on him too much.

After learning about the limitations of teleportation anchors, Keqing and Ayaka left.

It seemed that ordinary people wouldn't be able to use teleportation for heavy transport anymore.

Without sufficient strength, they could seriously injure themselves.

Small amounts were fine, but large-scale goods transport? That was a no-go.

After seeing them off, Takumi sighed and shook his head.

He had other matters to attend to.

Keqing, on the other hand, wasted no time in spreading the news.

From now on, teleportation anchors would not be used for cargo transport.

It was best to ban the practice entirely—it was simply too dangerous.
