"How is it? After looking for so long, what are your thoughts?"
Lord Takagi said to passengers like The Doctor and Nahida.
"A very beautiful bonsai."
"A very tempting fruit."
The Doctor smiled.
"You're quite honest."
Lord Takagi raised an eyebrow and said.
"Takagi, you must have listened to a very beautiful zither performance, right?"
Lisa looked at Lord Takagi and Ms. Ruan Mei walking side-by-side and approaching, and asked with a light chuckle.
"Naturally, Ruan Mei is very skilled at playing the Ruan zither."
Lord Takagi stopped in front of the Abundance bonsai and spoke.
Beside him, Ms. Ruan Mei lowered her head to look at the Abundance fruit that was sparkling under the light. Although no one had tried this fruit yet,
"At that time, Lord Takagi can use it to teleport me to your side."
Ruan Mei took the fruit with her left hand and touched the bead in the middle of the necklace with her right hand.
"This bead, could it be a gift from Takagi to Ms. Ruan Mei?!"
Lisa looked up and was immediately attracted by the necklace on Ruan Mei's neck. Because of her liking for Takagi, she also paid considerable attention to the women who appeared by Takagi's side. She remembered very clearly that the necklace on Ruan Mei's neck wasn't like this before. The bead in the very center had clearly changed.
"Hmm, just a mini teleportation device."
"Through it, I can freely locate Ruan Mei's coordinates."
"And through these coordinates, I can teleport Ruan Mei to my side, or teleport myself to her side."
Takagi nodded and said.
"So that's it." A bright light flashed in Lisa's eyes. "Then the original bead of Ms. Ruan Mei's necklace, it wouldn't happen to be with you, Takagi, would it?"
"Hmm, I saw that this precious bead had good quality, so I asked for it."
Takagi took out the necklace bead he had previously obtained from Ruan Mei from his pocket and said with a smile.
Hearing this and seeing the bead in Takagi's hand, Lisa immediately fell silent.
[Nilou: This, could it really be an exchange of tokens of love?]
[Lumine: See, I told you the relationship between Takagi and Ms. Ruan Mei was unusual! Not only did the two exchange precious beads, but Takagi's precious bead also has the function of locating spatial coordinates.]
[Dori: That's strange, Ruan Mei isn't wearing stockings, how could Takagi like Ruan Mei?]
[Ningguang: Although Ms. Ruan Mei is not wearing stockings, her beauty cannot be denied.]
[Beidou: Ms. Ruan Mei's dressing style seems somewhat similar to yours, Ningguang. It seems that even without wearing stockings, you can serve as Lord Takagi's tour guide in Liyue.]
[Ningguang: If Lord Takagi needs me to be his tour guide, I am naturally willing. However, just to be safe, it's still necessary to bring Keqing.]
[Beidou: That's right, one of you doesn't wear stockings, one wears stockings, covering both bases, that's quite safe.]
[Keqing: Compared to these things, shouldn't we be more concerned about that precious bead with teleportation coordinates?]
[Keqing: With the abilities demonstrated by Lord Takagi, it's likely that no matter where Ruan Mei, who is wearing that precious bead, is in the Universe, Lord Takagi can find her and teleport.]
[Dori: Now that you mention it, I want this precious bead even more.]
[Alice: To obtain this precious bead from Lord Takagi, you probably need to gain considerable recognition from Lord Takagi.]
[Lumine: Obtaining this bead, to some extent, means being covered by Takagi, right? Thinking about it, I want this bead too. With this bead, I don't think anyone would dare to bully me anymore.]
[Alice: Traveler, you could consider marrying Lord Takagi, perhaps that's feasible.]
[Aether:!]
[Lumine: Marriage... Thinking about how excellent Takagi is, it seems pretty good to marry him.]
[Aether:!!!]
[Alice: Then you'd better hurry. Lord Takagi gave Ruan Mei a mini teleportation coordinate and also an Abundance fruit. If you don't seize the time, it might be hard to catch Takagi.]
[Rosaria: It seems Lisa has another competitor.]
[Lumine: Wait, I was just saying that casually!]
[Alice: Don't be shy, Traveler! I'm supporting you.]
[Lumine: I'm already shy now...]
"Alright, go busy yourself with your matters, Ruan Mei."
Takagi turned around and said to Ruan Mei.
"Okay, Lord Takagi."
"I'll go study these creations of Abundance first."
"When you are about to head to Teyvat, please contact me."
Ruan Mei said.
Takagi: "No problem."
Ruan Mei smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked away from Takagi's Astral Express.
"Takagi, this Ms. Ruan Mei, she wouldn't happen to want to go to the Teyvat Continent with you, would she?"
Lisa said with a light chuckle.
"Hmm, Ruan Mei has some interest in Teyvat."
"So she plans to go to Teyvat with me to take a look."
Takagi nodded and said.
"Really planning to take Ms. Ruan Mei to Teyvat!"
Lisa looked at Takagi in surprise.
She had just said it casually, never expecting Takagi to nod. To the side, Nahida and Cloud Retainer also looked over in surprise.
"Is Ms. Ruan Mei planning to go to Teyvat?"
The Doctor muttered to himself, a light flashing in his eyes.
As things stood, he naturally knew that Ruan Mei played an extremely important role in the Simulated Universe's decision to build the Swarm Disaster module. He also knew that Ruan Mei intended to study the disaster and the Aeon of Propagation. Thinking that he was someone who had embarked on the Path of Propagation, The Doctor couldn't help but feel a surge of desire to consult Ruan Mei about matters related to Propagation.
[Kaveh: No way, is Lord Takagi actually planning to bring someone from the Universe to Teyvat, and a member of the Genius Society like Ruan Mei at that!]
[Faruzan: Members of the Genius Society all possess powerful strength and also have quite advanced knowledge. Perhaps she could change the Teyvat Continent with just a thought.]
[Venti: Since it's someone brought by Lord Takagi, she probably won't do anything unnecessary.]
[Alice: Perhaps he's just bringing Ruan Mei to Teyvat to sightsee.]
[Grand Sage Azar: Since Ruan Mei is a scholar, Sumeru naturally needs to invite Ms. Ruan Mei to visit and exchange knowledge.]
[Zhongli: From a universally rational perspective, neither Sumeru nor even the entire Teyvat Continent is qualified to exchange knowledge with Ms. Ruan Mei.]
[Lumine: Takagi wouldn't really just be bringing Ms. Ruan Mei to Teyvat for tourism, would he?]
[Dehya: If that's really the case, then the relationship between Lord Takagi and Ms. Ruan Mei can be confirmed, right?]
[Takagi: You're all having quite a cheerful chat.]
[Lumine:!!!]
[Dehya: Lo, Lord Takagi!!!]
Takagi glanced at the messages on the forum, shook his head, and looked at Lisa, The Doctor, and the others in front of him.
"You don't need to worry about Ruan Mei doing anything to Teyvat."
"Although she possesses power, for my sake, she won't do anything unnecessary to Teyvat."
"So you don't need to worry that Ruan Mei will bring disaster to Teyvat."
"Unless one day, I lose interest in Teyvat."
Takagi paused, and under the slightly nervous expressions of the crowd, continued:
"As for wanting to exchange knowledge with Ruan Mei, Teyvat doesn't have any knowledge that can be exchanged with Ruan Mei."
"As for having Ruan Mei give Teyvat a free lecture or something..."
"Heh heh, I can only say that Ruan Mei is a member of the Genius Society, not a member of the Intelligentsia Guild."
"Your ideas are a bit too naive."
Regarding the current state of Teyvat, Takagi didn't have many direct ideas for change. Even if Teyvat were to be changed, it would be by having the people of Teyvat embark on a Path, and then letting them change Teyvat themselves. Naturally, Takagi would not encourage Ms. Ruan Mei to change Teyvat.
Without his direct intervention, Takagi didn't think Ms. Ruan Mei would bother with the Teyvat passengers, especially the arrogant scholars led by Azar in Sumeru.
[Faruzan: That being said, if you, Takagi, were to speak, Ms. Ruan Mei would probably be willing to teach the Teyvat passengers.]
[Lyney: But Lord Takagi has no obligation to speak to Ms. Ruan Mei on behalf of Teyvat.]
[Kaveh: What if a Teyvat passenger admired by Lord Takagi were to ask him? Would that not work?]
[Rosaria: To have a member of the Genius Society teach Teyvat passengers, that's not something that can be achieved just by a request from someone admired by Lord Takagi. Unless that Teyvat passenger's relationship with Lord Takagi could take another step forward. Like a close friend, or a spouse, or something.]
[Yae Miko: I always feel that becoming Lord Takagi's close friend is more difficult than becoming his wife or something.]
"Lord Takagi, the Intelligentsia Guild you mentioned earlier, do the members of that organization tend to be more willing to share knowledge?"
"You mentioned the Intelligentsia Guild and the Genius Society together, so this Intelligentsia Guild must also be a very powerful organization, right?"
Nahida asked curiously.
"As expected of Nahida, I only mentioned the Intelligentsia Guild, and you've already thought of so much."
Takagi raised an eyebrow, looking down at Nahida with a smile.
"There's no harm in telling you."
"The Intelligentsia Guild is indeed an organization with considerable power."
"Like the Genius Society, the Intelligentsia Guild is also an organization that worships Nous."
"The Intelligentsia Guild is indeed more willing to share knowledge."
Takagi said.
Hearing Takagi mention that the Intelligentsia Guild was willing to share knowledge, The Doctor couldn't help but ask:
"The Intelligentsia Guild is an organization with considerable power?"
"Are the members of the Intelligentsia Guild also true geniuses, like the members of the Genius Society?"
Takagi shook his head and said:
"That's not it! Unlike the Genius Society, the Genius Society gathers geniuses who have reached the pinnacle in various academic fields but are also solitary."
"...But the Intelligentsia Guild embraces all, widely accepting those who seek Erudition."
"Because it widely accepts those who seek Erudition, it's naturally impossible for every single person in the Intelligentsia Guild to be a true genius."
"Even so, the people of the Intelligentsia Guild are willing to share knowledge, dedicating themselves to the dissemination and sharing of knowledge."
"For this reason, the Intelligentsia Guild has also achieved many excellent results in the academic field and has become a well-known organization in the universe."
Hearing this, Nahida murmured:
"Dedicated to the sharing of knowledge, what a truly admirable organization."
Nahida was filled with emotion, as the Intelligentsia Guild reminded her of Sumeru. The existence of the Sumeru Akademiya, after all, was for everyone to share beautiful knowledge. It's just that the current Akademiya doesn't seem to be able to do such a thing.
"Embracing all, sharing knowledge... I see, no wonder you said what you did earlier."
"If Ms. Ruan Mei were truly a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, she would likely be willing to engage in academic exchanges with Teyvat."
"However, even if there aren't geniuses like Ms. Ruan Mei in the Intelligentsia Guild, and even if the Intelligentsia Guild has absorbed many members, among them, there should still be individuals who can be called geniuses, right?"
Lisa asked curiously.
"Of course there are." Takagi nodded and said:
"As far as I know, Professor Veritas Ratio, also known as Dr. Ratio, in the Intelligentsia Guild, is an out-and-out genius."
"It is said that he showed astonishing intelligence from a young age, and as he grew older, his wisdom reached an incredible level."
"However, although he is extremely brilliant, he believes that wisdom and creativity should not be exclusive to geniuses."
"So now he is dedicated to spreading knowledge throughout the universe, treating the disease called 'ignorance'."
"All the students who persevere to the end under his tutelage have become expert scholars in some field."
[Tighnari: Treating the disease called ignorance, no wonder Professor Ratio is known as Dr. Ratio!]
[Kaveh: What's even more commendable is that although he is a genius, he is willing to share knowledge! If we could meet him, wouldn't we be able to access sufficiently high-level knowledge?]
[Alhaitham: The premise is that we can understand this high-level knowledge. We may not necessarily understand the lectures of a true genius.]
[Grand Sage Azar: Don't be too self-deprecating. With our wisdom, as long as a teacher is willing to guide us, we will surely succeed.]
[Albedo: Is it really that simple?]
"Students who persevere to the end can all become expert scholars in some field?"
"What a pity, how wonderful it would be if we could meet this Dr. Ratio during this trip."
The Doctor shook his head and sighed.
"For this batch of Teyvat passengers, it is indeed a bit regrettable."
"If you had come a little later, perhaps you would have met Dr. Ratio at Herta Space Station."
Takagi said with a smile.
Perhaps Herta and other geniuses would invite Dr. Ratio to be the fifth genius to create the Simulated Universe.
"Dr. Ratio, might he come to Herta Space Station?!"
The Doctor suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked up at Takagi. Lisa, Nahida, Cloud Retainer, and many Teyvat passengers also perked up their ears. Since he was a genius specifically named by Takagi, and also a genius willing to share knowledge, they naturally had the idea of seeking knowledge from Dr. Ratio.
Perhaps the knowledge shared by a genius could bring them growth. Whether in terms of strength or insight.
"Perhaps, but I don't think you need to worry about that anymore."
"During your remaining travel time, Dr. Ratio should not appear at Herta Space Station."
"Perhaps some future Teyvat passengers will meet Dr. Ratio at Herta Space Station."
"Or, meet him in Penacony."
"Speaking of which, I wonder if I'll be invited to the banquet in Penacony."
Takagi stroked his chin and murmured.
"I'm rather envious of the future Astral Express passengers."
