Of course, Zhongli did not mind this matter.
The place where he lived was too remote.
It was said to be his own residence, but he rarely went back to live there.
He only went there occasionally to gather with the adepti.
"It's not bad to develop it."
"It's quite nice over there."
"If you want to do it, then do it."
"In the future, Guili will develop toward Liyue Harbor."
"If you develop there, there will be people willing to buy it."
Zhongli took a sip of tea and said this calmly.
Regarding this matter, he had no reason to refuse.
Development was also beneficial to him.
At least there would be somewhere to stroll around.
When Xingqiu heard Zhongli's words, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Alright, Mr. Zhongli."
"I will report this to my father."
As long as Zhongli did not mind.
What Xingqiu worried about before was that Zhongli might care deeply about this issue.
But now it seemed his worries were unnecessary.
After that, Xingqiu stayed and drank tea with Zhongli for a while.
This matter could be considered completely settled.
What Xingqiu wanted was Zhongli's attitude.
After sitting for some time, he and Chongyun left after confirming there were no issues.
After Xingqiu and the others left, Hu Tao also said goodbye and left.
"I'm off."
"You two big men keep drinking."
"I'm going out to play."
Hu Tao said this and ran out directly.
She had no interest in sitting here drinking tea with Zhongli.
Zhongli felt relieved after Hu Tao left.
As for Hu Tao, he really could not handle her.
That girl could always pull off strange tricks.
Speaking of which, Hu Tao had already grown up.
Was it time to find her a marriage?
Takumi was actually quite suitable.
To Zhongli, Hu Tao was like his daughter.
After all, Zhongli raised her.
After Hu Tao's grandfather passed away, she had always stayed with him.
Would her personality change a little after marriage?
For a moment, Zhongli fell into deep thought.
But he could not say such things.
If he did, he might get beaten.
Hu Tao would definitely hit him with her staff.
So he chose to remain silent.
Let Takumi and Hu Tao develop naturally.
Their relationship was already quite good.
Hu Tao also liked playing with Takumi.
Thinking of this, Zhongli shook his head.
Forget it, better not interfere.
Takumi had no idea that the old man was thinking about him.
At this moment, Takumi was busy.
Guili Academy's expansion plan also needed to be handled properly.
By next year, these matters would be officially scheduled.
Right now, Takumi needed to plan everything clearly.
Then next year, he could begin public announcements.
Liyue's population was currently in a rapid growth phase.
Food problems had been solved.
The people of Liyue were also becoming wealthier.
Educational issues had also been addressed.
Because of this, many people were now willing to have children.
Many people registered every day.
The birth rate at hospitals was even rising steadily.
It was said that hundreds or even thousands of newborns were born daily.
At this pace, housing in many areas might become insufficient in the future.
New areas would need to be developed.
This could already be placed on the agenda.
Things like schools also needed to be considered.
While Takumi was busy,
looking at Liyue's current development trend, he could not help falling into deep thought.
In a few years, Liyue's population might increase by several million.
One could imagine how many cities would be needed.
These were all problems that needed to be solved.
Takumi organized all the issues that required future expansion.
Then he asked Nuwa to save them.
Some preliminary work could even be arranged now.
After finishing everything, Takumi stretched his body.
"Things can finally be put aside for now."
Recently, he had really been busy.
Now that these matters were handled, he could rest for a while.
Just as Takumi was about to give himself a vacation,
a report came in from Nuwa.
[Master Takumi, the navy recently discovered a large number of sea beasts in the deep-sea area and engaged them in battle.]
[Some battleships have suffered damage and require repair costs.]
After receiving this news, Takumi was stunned.
"Sea beasts?"
"What kind of sea beasts?"
"And they damaged battleships?"
Takumi raised his eyebrows.
This was the first time he had heard such news.
Battleships damaged?
This was the first time since the battleships were built.
[Due to Teyvat's expansion, many sea monsters have lost their routes.]
[They then intruded into Liyue's sea territory.]
0…seeking flowers…
[There have also been traces of demon gods recently.]
Nuwa quickly reported the recorded information.
All these incidents occurred after Teyvat began expanding.
Hearing this, Takumi became serious.
Demon gods?
Interesting.
Demon gods in the sea?
In other words, demon gods from other regions had wandered here.
There were still many demon gods in the ocean.
Especially near places like the Dark Sea.
For example, the former spouse of the Vortex Demon God was also a sea demon god.
And now another demon god had appeared?
This piqued Takumi's interest.
Although the battleship damage was not caused by a demon god,
if left unattended, it would become a serious issue.
Thinking of this, Takumi left the General Affairs Department directly.
He arrived at the coastline and used the power of his Gnosis.
He began to explore the sea area around Liyue.
As Takumi made his move, the people of Liyue felt a heavy pressure descend.
The Geo element throughout Liyue became unusually active.
Some people with Geo Visions sensed this elemental surge and felt confused.
What was happening?
Why had the elemental power suddenly become so active?
Zhongli, who was drinking tea with Azhdaha, was also stunned when he felt Takumi's power.
"Using power?"
"What's going on?"
He was extremely familiar with this power.
This was the power of a Gnosis.
He himself had once wielded it.
Feeling Takumi using the Gnosis made Zhongli puzzled.
Azhdaha felt the same.
What was happening?
After thinking for a moment, Zhongli stood up and said:
"Let's go take a look."
After speaking, he left immediately, heading toward Takumi's location.
Azhdaha followed right behind, joining the excitement.
Not only him, but several yakshas were also filled with curiosity.
Takumi rarely used the power of the Gnosis.
Under normal circumstances, he would never use it.
But now he did.
Something must have happened.
Soon, several figures appeared beside Takumi, who was standing by the sea.
The yakshas arrived swiftly, their auras surging.
Immediately after, Zhongli and Azhdaha also arrived at the scene.
