Chapter 499

Takumi looked at the scene in front of him and nodded silently in his heart.

From the looks of it, Lumine should be fine.

After Lumine finished explaining, the people below also understood the core gameplay of the game.

There was a lot of chattering and discussion as excitement built up.

"I'm going to start assigning tasks now."

Lumine looked at the crowd and continued speaking.

Hearing this, everyone focused their attention.

"First, the game engine."

"This is the core of the game and needs to be developed by us."

"Then there's the art department."

"Does the company have an art team?"

Lumine looked around, as if asking a serious question.

Hearing this, the programmers were puzzled.

Then, they exchanged glances with each other.

What art department?

They didn't know anything about that.

Takumi spoke up at this moment.

"There isn't one. If you need it, you'll have to build it yourself."

As soon as he said that, Lumine was stunned.

"How do you expect to make a game without an art department?!"

What kind of setup was this?

"We draw it ourselves!" said the person in charge of developing Dou Dizhu confidently.

Yes, they had always made their own assets without thinking of setting up an art team.

Lumine felt depressed.

Did she just step into a pit?

Her gaze shifted to Takumi.

Noticing her stare, Takumi smirked slightly.

"If you need anything, just tell Wuhe."

"I'll leave you to it."

After saying this, Takumi opened a spatial door without hesitation and disappeared on the spot.

No hesitation at all.

Lumine was completely dumbfounded.

Good grief, why did he run away so fast?

At this moment, she was utterly speechless.

Wasn't she the one who paid for all this?

Yet now, she had to handle everything herself?

F**k!!

Lumine wanted to scream.

What the hell!!

She thought she was making money, but…

Takumi, you sneaky bastard!

Lumine was fuming.

But Takumi had already disappeared.

With no other choice, she began discussing recruitment with Wuhe.

There were plenty of programmers, but they lacked artists, designers, and other specialists.

So Lumine focused on organizing the hiring process.

Takumi had already told Wuhe to assist her.

So Wuhe cooperated fully.

After figuring out Lumine's needs, he began making arrangements.

Looking for artists? There were many in Liyue.

Even though some of the best had been recruited by the Yae Publishing House, there were still many available.

Wuhe immediately started searching for talent.

Once recruitment plans were settled, Lumine shifted her focus to discussing the game engine with the team.

She knew she would be very busy.

Even if they recruited staff, they wouldn't be productive immediately.

They would need training.

That realization frustrated Lumine.

And even more troubles awaited.

They had no pre-made development tools.

Which meant…

Everything had to be built from scratch.

Lumine exploded.

"Takumi, you b*****d!!"

She was furious.

Nice guy, really nice guy.

What was the difference between this and starting from absolute zero?

Me!!

For a moment, Lumine was genuinely about to lose her mind.

But she had no choice but to proceed slowly.

What else could she do?

Meanwhile, Takumi was in a great mood.

Looking at the balance in his account, he nodded in satisfaction.

Wasn't it nice when people willingly came to help?

Now, he didn't have to worry about the gaming company at all.

All he had to do was wait for results.

After thinking for a moment, Takumi pulled out his phone and messaged Nuwa:

"Nuwa, give Lumine special permissions. If she needs help, assist her."

He could at least give her some help.

Otherwise, she might actually work herself to death.

This was his way of easing her burden.

Hearing Takumi's request, Nuwa responded quickly.

[Understood!]

After replying, she vanished from the interface.

Meanwhile, Lumine, still fuming, noticed an unfamiliar voice on her phone.

[Hello, Miss Lumine.]

[I am Nuwa, an artificial intelligence.]

[Master Takumi has assigned me to assist you with your work.]

[If you need help, please feel free to ask.]

Hearing the voice, Lumine's eyes immediately lit up.

Wait a minute, even artificial intelligence?

Takumi had created an AI too?

However, having an AI assistant would make things much easier.

Paimon, hearing the voice, was amazed.

"Wow, what is that?"

"Artificial intelligence?"

Paimon was curious.

What kind of thing was inside the phone?

Hearing Paimon's question, Lumine scoffed.

"Move aside."

"I'm busy."

With that, Lumine ignored Paimon and began giving Nuwa tasks.

She instructed Nuwa to generate various game development tools.

Surprisingly, Nuwa even assisted in coding certain functions.

With Nuwa's help, Lumine's workload significantly decreased.

Nuwa immediately began generating the necessary software.

The power of the Heart of God was activated.

In just a few moments, several essential programs were created.

Seeing this, Lumine regained her enthusiasm.

She eagerly started testing them.

Any flaws she found, she reported to Nuwa for modifications.

With Nuwa's assistance, things were moving at a much faster pace.

Meanwhile, Takumi had no idea about any of this.

After setting everything in motion, he started wandering around.

With nothing urgent to do, he somehow found himself at the port.

When he arrived, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Azhdaha?"

There stood Azhdaha, shirtless, leading a group of men to carry goods.

Takumi was dumbfounded.

Good grief.

Was this really Azhdaha?

What was going on?

How did he end up working as a dock porter?

As if sensing someone calling him, Azhdaha turned around.

"Oh, it's you."

"What's up?"

Putting down the cargo he was carrying, he walked over.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why are you working as a porter?"

Takumi was utterly confused.

How did the mighty Azhdaha end up as a dock worker?

Was this the downfall of morality or the distortion of human nature?

Should he call Baiwen to conduct an interview on this unexpected career change?

Surely the Adepti would have something to say about this.

Hearing Takumi's question, Azhdaha laughed.

"I had nothing to do, so I came here to find some work."

"Helping people move goods is actually quite enjoyable."

"It's good exercise."

Saying this, he grinned.

He genuinely enjoyed this lifestyle.

And he wasn't short on Mora.

He was only here to experience life.
