There is a team of Vision holders guarding the snow mountain.
Takumi doesn't have to worry anymore.
In the future, the safety problem of this mine can be considered resolved.
It is not dug here by manpower.
They all use machines to get the ore out.
Then use machines to transport the ore.
In addition, the ore here is now exposed.
This is even simpler.
It's an open‑pit mine.
Just keep digging.
Mining or anything like that—Liyue people are professionals!!
So Takumi doesn't have to worry about safety accidents.
The person in charge here manages everything.
And this person in charge is also a master from The Chasm.
So, no problem.
As long as the people working here can live comfortably.
After Takumi left, the mine began to operate.
Mining machines began digging in this severely cold area.
The sound of rattling could be heard everywhere.
Some of the ore that was dug out began to be loaded directly into trucks.
Moreover, the mining here is not done by digging straight down.
Instead, it digs downward in a spiral shape.
This ensures vehicles can drive down there too.
Takumi doesn't care about the details.
After all, professional things are left to professional people.
Takumi has now left the snow mountain.
Then he returned to Mingyun Village.
Back here, he didn't go straight home either.
Instead, he went shopping under Yaoguang Shoal.
After making sure there was nothing wrong, he came to Zhongli's teahouse again.
At this time, the teahouse here has basically been completed.
And it is already being renovated.
The roads leading here have also been built.
This teahouse is a long ancient building.
Built directly next to the waterway.
Here you can see all kinds of ships sailing slowly by.
Drinking tea here is also very pleasant.
This place will belong to Zhongli from now on.
In addition to the teahouse, other houses were built in other parts of the area.
After all, there can't be only one teahouse here.
So there are other buildings.
And these structures are all built in the style of Liyue Harbor.
All are ancient‑style buildings.
It's just that these are not Zhongli's properties.
These places will also be used for rent in the future.
It doesn't matter whether they are used as restaurants or anything else.
Still quite good here.
Anyway, in this area—eat, drink, and have fun.
There is only Zhongli's teahouse.
Others can't open teahouses here.
Takumi and Ningguang would not agree either.
After all, the purpose of building this place at the beginning was just to let the old man have an income.
It wouldn't do to let him spend all his money and then wait eagerly for his meager salary every month.
Maybe he would still have to spend the final bits of his savings?
Now no one will reimburse him.
In Hu Tao's words: Zhongli, you have been expelled from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Emmm…
Takumi shook his head, amused.
He didn't think much about it either.
Everything here was basically fine.
After the renovation is completed, Zhongli's teahouse can open for business.
As for hiring people?
That's Zhongli's own business.
After walking around, Takumi found that there was nothing to do.
So he simply found a place to sit down and started drinking tea and listening to storytelling.
Now Gui Li Yuan also has a storyteller here.
And it seems quite popular.
Although Guiliyuan has all kinds of new things now,
there are still many people who like storytelling, singing, and the like.
Listening to stories and watching performances in teahouses during the day.
Going home to watch TV at night.
This is the smooth and comfortable life of Liyue citizens now.
While Takumi was drinking tea and listening to the storyteller,
the girl Hu Tao suddenly appeared.
"Hey!"
"It's so rare. You actually came here to listen to storytelling?"
Hu Tao looked at Takumi in surprise.
Seeing Hu Tao pop out,
Takumi immediately rolled his eyes.
"Can't I listen to stories?"
"It's you—why are you free today?"
Saying so, Takumi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Hu Tao.
Hu Tao was not shy.
She sat down directly.
"Of course I'm free.
There's no business now.
The insurance matters are handled by others, so I don't need to help.
Originally, I came to see if that guy Zhongli was around.
But I didn't expect to meet you instead."
After saying this, Hu Tao took a sip of tea, looking bored.
Then she motioned for Takumi to pour another cup.
Takumi felt helpless.
"If you're looking for Zhongli, shouldn't you go to the school?"
"Today is Friday. He's teaching right now."
Hearing this, Hu Tao curled her lips.
"Who knows if he's sneaking off to be lazy again.
That's just like him~~!"
Now Zhongli really sees himself as a retired old man.
Very outrageous.
Hearing this, Takumi was dumbfounded.
You're the one strolling around.
If you can't find Zhongli here, go to the school.
Don't overthink it.
Shaking his head, Takumi didn't know what to say.
Hu Tao didn't care at all.
Since she met Takumi here, she didn't bother to look for Zhongli.
She just wanted someone to chat with.
"You seem to be very free recently?"
Saying this, Hu Tao tilted her head.
She looked at Takumi suspiciously.
You know, she usually avoids disturbing this guy, so she rarely goes to the General Affairs Department.
After all, Takumi is a busy man.
She's very aware of that.
But now?
Takumi seems quite idle?
Even enjoying tea here?
Thinking of this, Hu Tao muttered inwardly.
Takumi nodded.
"It's true. I'm quite idle.
After all, I don't need to handle many things.
Why? Do you have questions?"
Takumi looked at Hu Tao curiously.
What is this girl up to?
Hu Tao shook her head.
"No, no problem!
I'm free too!
How about we have some fun?"
Saying this, Hu Tao looked eager.
Takumi understood instantly.
This girl was just bored.
She wanted someone to play with.
Thinking of this, Takumi rolled his eyes.
"What do you want to play?"
"If you want to do something, just say it."
Hu Tao smiled mischievously.
"I'm free right now.
So I plan to find someone to go on an adventure with.
It would be great if we could go to the sky and take a look.
Speaking of which—the big guy you brought back recently, can it fly?
If it can fly, shall we play in the sky?
I'm really curious about space!
The things in the news lately have made me eager.
The starry sky is so beautiful~!"
Hu Tao looked at Takumi excitedly.
She wanted to go to the sky.
Go to the sky and have fun!
Hearing this, Takumi's expression became strange.
How dare you think about that!
