Chapter 427

Mondstadt's traditional performing arts.

To say it is freedom would be inaccurate; it is better described as laziness.

Never researching things that can be obtained from others.

This is not the way forward.

Just like that Venti.

Those who can vote for something free of charge will certainly not spend money.

Although Mondstadt doesn't rely on handouts, it still exacts a high price.

But continuing like this is really not beneficial to Mondstadt at all.

Look at the nation of Snezhnaya.

They have also begun to study the advancements Liyue has made.

Even if they cannot replicate them exactly,

The functionality they develop is still useful enough.

Many times, Takumi was genuinely impressed.

After Eula and Takumi finished talking, she left.

She immediately relayed Takumi's words to Captain Jean.

Upon receiving the news, Jean felt a little helpless.

But upon further thought, she realized Takumi was right.

It would be bad for Mondstadt to rely on Liyue for everything.

If that was the case, they had to conduct their own research.

This responsibility had to fall on Lisa.

After all, that guy Albedo had already been abducted by Takumi.

He had no intention of returning now.

So it was up to Lisa.

Let the genius witch take care of the research.

Even Captain Jean thought to herself,

It would be great if Miss Alice were here.

She would surely be able to contribute a lot, right?

Although… it might also cause some trouble!!

Takumi had no idea what Jean was thinking.

Meanwhile, Yae Miko stayed in Inazuma for a day.

Then, she took Ei directly to Liyue through the teleportation anchor point.

Crossing the sea in an instant, they arrived in Liyue.

A strange glimmer flashed in Ei's eyes.

"This is incredible."

"It is truly the power of the ley lines."

After sighing for a while, she and Yae Miko headed to the General Affairs Department to find Takumi.

"Ei?"

"You're here?"

Seeing the arrival of the two, Takumi was a little surprised.

But he quickly understood.

It seemed that Yae Miko had already recorded the anchor points.

"Here, take this."

"If you want to record more, you'll have to go yourself."

Yae Miko handed the pass to Takumi.

Hearing what she said, Takumi nodded immediately.

Without hesitation, he accepted it and said:

"Then take your time..."

"I'm heading out for a bit."

After saying this, Takumi vanished on the spot.

He was going to record the anchor points in Inazuma.

Seeing Takumi suddenly disappear,

A hint of curiosity flashed in Ei's eyes.

"The power of space..."

"Takumi has grown even stronger!"

This shocked Ei immensely.

Had Takumi become even stronger in such a short time?

Where exactly was this guy's limit?

After all, Takumi hadn't possessed spatial abilities before.

Hearing Ei words, Yae Miko looked unimpressed.

"Isn't this normal?"

"That guy can't be viewed through the lens of ordinary people."

"So stop overreacting like a village girl seeing a city for the first time."

"Ei, you should be more composed."

Hearing Yae Miko's words,

Ei was immediately displeased.

She really wanted to electrocute this fox.

For a moment, lightning flickered around Ei body.

Sensing the danger, Yae Miko quickly surrendered.

"Do you really want to cause destruction here?"

"If Takumi finds out, he'll be with you forever."

Yae Miko immediately backed away slightly,

Then continued talking non-stop.

"Hmph!"

"Shut up, you annoying fox!!"

Hearing this, Yae Miko chuckled.

Then, she stopped teasing Ei.

Teasing someone who reacts too quickly isn't as fun.

If she actually got electrocuted,

It would be a real problem.

Takumi had only been gone for a few minutes.

But soon, he returned.

"Alright."

"Here you go."

Takumi handed Yae Miko's pass back to her.

He had just recorded the teleportation anchor on the outlying island.

That would be enough.

Now, traveling to Inazuma in the future would be much more convenient.

"Give me one too."

Seeing Yae Miko put hers away,

Ei couldn't help but request one as well.

Hearing her words, Takumi didn't hesitate.

Instead, he took out another pass and handed it to her.

This one also recorded the teleportation anchors in Inazuma.

After all, her brother had given him so many benefits.

It was only fair.

After receiving the pass, Ei stored it in her Vision.

"Ei, are you planning to stay in Liyue permanently this time?"

After sorting out the passes,

Takumi looked at Ei curiously.

Hearing Takumi's question, Ei nodded.

"That's right!"

"I plan to stay here."

"If you need help, just let me know."

Ei indeed planned to stay here.

But she didn't intend to simply have fun.

Instead, she was ready to assist Takumi.

Hearing Ei sudden offer,

Takumi's eyes brightened.

"I do need your help with something."

"Have you read the programming books I gave you before?"

"Did you learn how to program?"

Hearing Takumi's question,

Ei nodded.

"It wasn't difficult."

"It's similar to when I created the Shogun."

"Just slightly different."

That sort of thing wasn't challenging for her.

After reading the books Takumi had given her,

She quickly understood how to program.

It was quite simple.

Seeing her confidence,

Takumi nodded.

"Then help me write an artificial intelligence like the Raiden Shogun."

"But it must be different from the Shogun's core."

"First, it must never actively harm humans or engage in actions that endanger humanity."

"Second, it must absolutely obey the commands of the highest-ranking authority figure."

"Third..."

Takumi laid out multiple conditions.

The AI didn't need emotions.

It didn't need independent wisdom.

It simply needed to follow orders and function as programmed.

Hearing Takumi's detailed requests,

Ei fell into deep thought.

"It will take some time."

"It might take a few months to complete."

Ei quickly gave her assessment.

She had created the Raiden Shogun and the Thunder Manifestation.

So making a third entity wasn't difficult.

Only this time, it would be an online-based AI.

And Takumi's suggestions were indeed quite good.

It only needed to follow commands and continuously operate.

Hearing the timeframe,

Takumi's eyes lit up.

"A few months?"

"That's no problem!"

"Then please work on it."

"I'll get you a computer tonight."

Takumi made his decision immediately.

A few months? That was fast.

Not an issue at all.

Ei nodded.

"Alright!"

"I'll take care of it."

And at the same time, she would help Inazuma develop its own systems.

Yae Miko watched this scene unfold with a smile.

Ei was surprisingly obedient around Takumi.

Perhaps… she really would end up staying in Liyue forever?

Maybe it was time to sell Ei off to Takumi.

Silently, Yae Miko gave a thumbs-up.
