The matter of the layered rock abyss was officially announced.
That evening, it was repeatedly broadcast on the news.
This surprised many people.
Especially when they saw the blueprints.
Everyone could not help but feel shocked.
Such urban design?
There is no doubt that many people were stunned when seeing this design for the first time.
Even people from other countries were shocked.
Some people from sumeru could not help but have their eyes light up when they saw the design.
Hey—this actually works.
Even some sumeru businessmen thought it was feasible and worth investing in.
Weiwei, who was conducting archaeological work far away in sumeru, also saw this news.
After reading the report, her eyes immediately lit up.
If this city were slightly modified, it could be transformed into exactly what she wanted.
After thinking for a while, she directly sent a message to Takumi.
Takumi, who had just finished eating, suddenly received Weiwei's message and felt a bit puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Weiwei's message confused Takumi slightly.
Keqing beside him was also puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
What happened?
Hearing this, Takumi immediately raised his phone and said:
"Weiwei says she's very interested in the layered rock abyss."
"She wants me to hand the city construction over to her."
"She wants to build a mechanized city."
The first thing that appeared in Takumi's mind was a steampunk-style city.
That actually sounded pretty good.
If Weiwei wanted to take it on, maybe he could let her try.
"Hmm?"
"Does she have any concrete ideas?"
Keqing was a little confused.
Takumi nodded.
"I can roughly guess."
"A bit of remodeling should be enough."
"Various forms of mechanization."
"Well, it would be rigid, but equipped with many mechanisms."
"That would give it more character."
"Leaving it to her isn't a bad idea."
After thinking it over, Takumi also felt it was feasible.
Hearing Takumi say this, keqing blinked.
She could not quite imagine it.
"A city full of mechanisms?"
"That actually sounds interesting."
"Why not let her give it a try?"
At this moment, Ningguang also became interested.
Hearing her words, Takumi nodded after thinking it over carefully.
"All right, then let her try."
"However, those researchers are currently studying in sumeru."
"Maybe when they return, they'll propose something like a sky city."
Thinking of certain structures in the sumeru desert, the corner of Takumi's mouth twitched slightly.
Possible?
A floating city would be extremely impressive.
Much more striking than the Jade Chamber.
If they really wanted to do it, they could even expand the Jade Chamber.
Using it as the core, they could construct an entire sky city.
Would that count as fulfilling Ningguang's wish?
When Ningguang heard the words "sky city," her eyes lit up.
"Oh?"
"A city in the sky?"
"If that really happens, I will definitely support it."
Her vote was cast immediately.
Hearing this, Takumi rolled his eyes.
"Enough."
"Let's not talk about things that far ahead."
"We already have too many projects on hand."
"There's no time to deal with that now."
"Let's talk about it later."
What were they thinking?
That was not something they could do at this stage.
Even if those researchers had ideas,
That discussion could wait.
Right now, it was better to focus on current matters.
Lingju Pass had not even been fully addressed yet.
Ningguang pouted.
She had no argument and understood the current situation.
Still, she was very curious about Dr. Mei's research.
When they returned, she could talk to them properly.
Thinking about a sky city made Ningguang's heart race.
This was even more exciting than being with Takumi.
Her dream had always been to make the Jade Chamber visible to other nations.
From the Jade Chamber, one could overlook the six nations.
Observe what Dr. Mei was doing.
If there were no issues, she would definitely focus on that project later.
She was already feeling impatient.
That night, while resting, she chatted with Dr. Mei on her phone.
No one knew what they discussed.
But the smile on her face never faded.
This made Takumi feel quite speechless.
The next day, after breakfast, Takumi walked around Guili Plains.
Everywhere, people were discussing the future expansion plans announced by the Land Department.
Clearly, everyone's attention had shifted to this matter.
Some businessmen were especially excited.
If this continued, those in the construction industry would make another fortune.
It would even drive the growth of other industries.
As long as Liyue began construction, all industries would be mobilized.
As for concerns about building too many houses with no one living in them,
No one was worried.
It was estimated that there would be even more newborns this year.
Last year already saw a significant increase.
Many couples had married, and it was expected they would have children soon.
Now that people had money,
Housing demand would only grow.
Some houses would be for living.
Some people might eventually move to newly built cities.
Just like Cloud Retainer's Abode.
Who would have thought Jueyun Karst would develop this far?
How many people had already moved there?
In the past, no one would have dared imagine it.
Back then, it was a place only adventurers visited.
Now, it was inhabited.
It even served as a major transit hub.
Times really do change.
Takumi continued strolling through Guili Plains.
Because it was summer vacation, he saw many children running around.
And these children followed traffic rules very well.
Thinking about it, traffic officers were standing nearby.
If someone broke the rules, they would be stopped and educated.
Seeing the current state of Guili Plains, Takumi smiled.
After walking around for a while,
He headed toward Zhongli's teahouse.
After recent development, this area had become a hub for restaurants.
Many people came here daily.
Some shops were even opened by adepti.
That was unbelievable.
Those adepti could not stay idle in the mountains anymore,
So they came down to open shops with Zhongli.
Almost everything they sold was food.
After all, who didn't have a few secret recipes?
As a result, this place became a prime location for business discussions.
When coming to Liyue for negotiations,
Locals would bring guests here.
Let them experience what wealthy people in Liyue enjoyed.
Whether it was a teahouse or a restaurant,
There was always one here that could satisfy them.
Takumi even felt this area could be renamed Adepti Street.
Scanning the surroundings and sensing the adepti gathered here,
Takumi felt speechless.
Those people really knew how to enjoy themselves.
They truly knew how to play.
