Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Takumi thought about it carefully and then agreed.

"Okay, then I'll distribute them."

There was nothing wrong with that. Handing them out personally was not a problem.

Thinking of this, Takumi turned to Shenhe, who was standing beside him.

"Gather everyone! Everyone in the General Affairs Department."

Hearing this, Shenhe immediately nodded. "Understood!"

After saying that, she went inside and began calling everyone out.

At the same time, Keqing got busy as well, notifying the finance department to prepare the wages. Additionally, she instructed the merchants to prepare spicy meat buns for everyone.

One by one, people from the General Affairs Department gathered outside. Even those who had gone out returned. There were hundreds of people in the department alone, so Takumi only distributed mooncakes to them.

For the other departments, bonuses were given instead—no mooncakes for them this year.

Once everyone had arrived, Takumi began handing out the mooncakes—one box per person.

Looking at the mooncakes in their hands, many were puzzled.

"What kind of food is this?"

"The holiday starts tomorrow," Takumi announced. "After the Moon Festival is over, everyone should return to work. This is my gift to you all. Everyone has worked hard lately."

Hearing Takumi's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Lord Takumi!!"

"These look delicious!"

The word "holiday" immediately sparked excitement among the workers. A well-earned break was always welcome!

Takumi didn't say much more. After a few words, he let everyone continue working.

Just as he was about to return to the General Affairs Department, he suddenly frowned.

Takumi sensed a familiar presence approaching Guili Plains.

Not only him—Ei, who was hard at work on her programming, also felt it.

"him?"

Muttering to herself, Ei stopped what she was doing, stood up, and walked out. In the next moment, she disappeared from sight.

Takumi also opened a space portal and vanished.

When he reappeared, he was on the rooftop of Diluc's company. From there, he had a clear view of the port.

At that moment, a ship was slowly approaching.

It was Beidou's ship.

Onboard, Takumi sensed a Gnosis.

Wasn't that the Gnosis that Raiden Ei had thrown to the Fatui Harbinger, La Signora?

After ruling out all other possibilities, there was only one explanation.

The one carrying the Gnosis must be the Wanderer.

Thinking of him, Takumi rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

But before he could say anything, a bolt of lightning flashed.

Ei appeared beside him.

"You sensed it too?"

Ei, who had also appeared next to Takumi, stared at the distant ship.

She couldn't help but ask.

Takumi nodded. "Yes, I sensed it. It should be the puppet you discarded."

"I never expected that guy to come here. What do you plan to do?"

Takumi looked at Ei.

That puppet was her creation.

Now that he had come to Liyue, what would she do?

Ei shook her head. "I don't know…"

"For him…"

She didn't know what to say or do.

Takumi suddenly grinned.

"Then let's dismantle him."

"What he did to Inazuma cannot be forgiven."

"The chaos in Inazuma was partly because of him."

"And with his current personality, if we leave him unchecked, who knows what trouble he'll cause next?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Ei looked at the slowly approaching ship.

Then, she nodded decisively.

"Alright!"

She was never one to hesitate.

Since Takumi suggested it, then she would follow through.

They would dismantle him.

Rebuild him.

Format his personality completely.

Seeing Ei agree, Takumi acted immediately.

"Then let's go."

After saying that, he opened a space portal and stepped inside.

Ei followed without hesitation.

The two vanished together.

When they reappeared, they were already aboard Beidou's ship.

More specifically, they appeared right in front of the Wanderer.

When the Wanderer saw the space portal suddenly open, a bad feeling crept over him.

Before he could react, Takumi's voice rang out.

"You're not leaving."

"Stay here."

As soon as Takumi spoke, he and Ei materialized in front of the Wanderer.

The moment he saw them, the Wanderer's pupils shrank in shock.

But before he could do anything, his vision went dark.

Takumi had already activated the power of the Herrscher of Consciousness, forcibly shutting him down.

After all, he was just a puppet.

Looking at the Wanderer, who had collapsed to the ground, Ei was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't help but think that the puppet she created was utterly useless against Takumi.

Although the Wanderer was strong enough to fight ordinary Archons, in front of Takumi, he was nothing.

One move, and he was unconscious.

Looking at the lifeless puppet on the ground, Takumi chuckled.

"Ei."

"We should dismantle this puppet completely."

"Then rebuild her."

"Such great materials—it would be a waste not to reuse them."

"Aren't you working on artificial intelligence now? This is a perfect subject for it."

Takumi had a new idea.

Since the Wanderer was a puppet, why not make full use of him?

Hearing Takumi's words, Ei expression turned slightly strange.

Was this guy a demon?

But thinking about it… it made sense.

"We just need to modify him."

"If I integrate my programming into his core and modify it, he can function properly."

Hearing that, Takumi was excited.

He raised his hand, activating the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

The next moment, the Wanderer disassembled into various mechanical parts.

A Gnosis fell into Takumi's hand.

Looking at the scattered parts, Ei mouth twitched.

This was irreversible now.

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you," Takumi said casually. "As for this Gnosis…"

"I'll see if I can strike a deal with the Cryo Archon."

The corners of Takumi's mouth curled up.

The Cryo Archon's Gnosis was something he wanted.

And now, he had the perfect bargaining chip.

Ei said nothing.

She had no use for the Gnosis anyway.

She gathered the disassembled parts into her storage space.

She would modify and rebuild him later.

The next time he awoke, he would be a completely new entity.

Takumi's goal would be achieved.

Seeing Ei finish up, Takumi opened another space portal and walked through.

A mere Wanderer wasn't a challenge.

Even if it was Celestia itself—Takumi was confident he could handle it.

And soon, he might just meet that so-called "divine being" face to face.
