Chapter 498

Lumine went to the General Affairs Department early the next day to find Takumi.

"Takumi!"

"Come on, let's go to the company."

At this moment, Lumine couldn't wait any longer.

Hearing her words, Takumi nodded.

He put aside his current work, got up, and led Lumine to the company.

Paimon, unable to hold back, flew to Takumi's side and started chattering excitedly about their upcoming work.

"Good man, I made a lot of videos of Lumine fighting before. Do you want more?"

"If you do, I'll pass them on to you."

"Then you give me some money."

"Let me tell you, this guy here took all my money."

"So unfair!!"

"And now, she only gives me five Mora a day."

She fumed as she spoke.

Hearing her words, Takumi glanced at Lumine with a strange expression.

Shouldn't this girl be hung from a street lamp?

Lumine, however, responded without the slightest embarrassment.

"I'm just keeping it safe for her temporarily."

"She's still young."

When Paimon heard this, she became even more annoyed.

"No way!!"

"I'm not young!!"

"You're lying!!"

"You clearly stole it."

"I won't play with you anymore."

"Good man, I'll follow you from now on, okay?"

"You just have to take care of my food."

"I don't want to stay with her anymore."

Paimon was seriously considering changing her travel companion.

Following Lumine didn't seem like a bright future anymore.

Hearing this, Lumine was stunned for a moment.

Was this little traitor really rebelling against her?

Fine, then she wouldn't feed her anymore!

Honestly, did Paimon think food was free?

Was it wrong to charge her a little for all the meals she ate?

Takumi, on the other hand, ignored Paimon's dramatic complaints.

She was probably just saying things in the heat of the moment.

If he really let her follow him, she probably wouldn't be happy either.

Soon, Takumi brought Lumine and Paimon to the internet company.

The moment they stepped inside, Paimon looked around curiously.

She was especially drawn to the food stalls on the first floor.

Paimon was instantly captivated.

Most of the companies were now arranged similarly to media stations.

Everyone found this to be an efficient setup.

Even Diluc's business followed a similar model.

Many major merchant guilds had also adapted this approach.

It had essentially become the industry standard.

With Lumine, Takumi took the elevator straight to the game development department.

At the same time, he sent a message asking Wuhe to come over.

"This is the game department. You'll be in charge here from now on."

"What's the first game you plan to develop?"

"You can tell me now."

Lumine's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the work environment.

It was impressive.

Everyone was busy.

Some were even playing games.

Although, they seemed to be simple test games.

"I already have the first game planned."

"The name is Teyvat Survival."

"It's about dropping a hundred players onto an island and letting them fight each other."

"In the end, only one team can win the game."

Hearing this, Takumi nearly choked.

Wasn't this just PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?

"Battle Royale?"

Lumine blinked in surprise.

"You know it?"

"Yes, it's based on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

"But I'll make some changes."

"From now on, I'll call it Teyvat Survival."

"What do you think?"

Since Takumi already understood the concept, things would be much simpler.

She was genuinely surprised.

No matter what, she hadn't expected Takumi to be familiar with this game.

She and her brother had traveled to many worlds.

These games were among her favorites, so she remembered them well.

Could she have unknowingly visited Takumi's world before?

That thought puzzled Lumine.

"Alright."

"In that case, let's do it."

"But make sure the balance is fair."

"I'll also arrange for an internet café to be opened."

"That way, people can try the game, and we can increase computer sales."

Takumi agreed immediately.

It was a solid plan.

As they continued discussing, Wuhe soon arrived.

Seeing him, Takumi introduced him to Lumine.

"Wuhe, this is Lumine."

"She will be the director of the game department from now on."

"If she needs anything, cooperate with her fully."

"She'll be developing a game that will play a crucial role in boosting computer sales."

"Make sure to work well together."

Hearing Takumi's words, Wuhe nodded without hesitation.

"Understood, Lord Takumi."

"Miss Lumine, I'm Wuhe, the general manager here."

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

He introduced himself formally.

Lumine nodded.

"Nice to meet you."

After the introductions, Takumi clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.

"Everyone, gather in the meeting room."

Hearing his command, the employees put down their work and turned to him.

Without hesitation, they followed him to the meeting room.

Once everyone was assembled, Takumi introduced Lumine to the team.

Then, he explained the new direction for the department.

"Lumine is now in charge of game development."

"I'm leaving all game-related projects in her hands."

"Lumine, come forward and explain the first game we'll be developing."

After his introduction, Takumi stepped aside.

The developers, however, were somewhat disgruntled.

Why was a new boss suddenly parachuted into their department?

It made them a little uneasy.

At the same time, they were curious about what Lumine would say next.

Of course, some of them recognized who Lumine was.

After all, she was quite famous.

Mondstadt's Honorary Knight, a frequent client of the Adventurers' Guild.

Oh, and the cashier at Wanmin Restaurant.

A girl who always carried emergency food with her.

Lumine, however, showed no stage fright.

Though she looked young, no one truly knew how old she was.

She was a young woman with an old soul. (Laughs)

"Hello, everyone!"

"I'm Lumine."

"I'll now introduce the game we'll be developing."

"This will be Teyvat's first-ever online game."

Saying this, Lumine turned to the blackboard behind her.

She picked up a piece of chalk and began writing.

She explained her game concept in detail.

Initially, the developers weren't too interested.

But as they listened closely…

Wait, this was a completely fresh idea!

The concept was fascinating.

Soon, the programmers became fully engaged, eager to take notes.

This sounded like it could be a massive success.
