Takumi explained the functions of the car to Hu Tao.
Then he stopped.
After figuring out everything, Hu Tao expressed great satisfaction.
"Then I'll head back first."
"Perfect, I can drive this car to Wuwang Hill tonight."
"Hehe~~!"
With this, her work would be much more convenient in the future.
No more unnecessary trouble.
A trip to Wuwang Hill usually took a lot of time.
Now that she had a car, she could confidently make the round trip in two days.
Although the road had yet to be properly paved, that wasn't a problem.
Takumi had assured her that on Liyue's roads, this car could handle the terrain without issue.
Hu Tao placed her Vision where the elemental crystal should be.
Then she slowly started the car, cautiously reversing out.
After making a turn, she stopped and waved to Takumi.
"I'll be off now."
"Goodbye, Klee. Goodbye, Takumi."
After saying this, Hu Tao started the car and headed toward Liyue Harbor.
For the first few minutes, she drove carefully.
But once she saw there was no one around, she completely let go and started accelerating.
When she encountered large dump trucks, she slowed down cautiously, afraid they might collide with her.
But her worries were unnecessary.
The drivers were members of the Qianyan Army.
They were stable and precise in their driving.
Watching Hu Tao leave, Zhongli also bid farewell.
"Well then, I'll be off."
"See you later."
After saying this, Zhongli got into his new car.
Starting the engine, he quickly made a U-turn and sped off.
In stark contrast to Hu Tao's cautious driving, Zhongli drove with confidence and speed.
"The Emperor seems to be enjoying himself."
Watching Zhongli leave, Keqing's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"How skilled is he at driving?"
"Who knows?"
"Forget it."
"Let's focus on finishing things here first."
"Then we need to check on the power station next."
"There aren't enough people working there."
"We need to round up more Treasure Hoarders to help."
Hearing this, Keqing nodded.
"I've already sent the Qianyan Army after them."
"Many have been captured in Jueyun Karst and Mt. Aocang, and they are currently being escorted back."
"They should arrive soon."
"At the same time, we're continuing to track down the remaining Treasure Hoarders across Liyue."
"But since many of them are hiding in deep forests and mountains, capturing them is proving to be a bit troublesome."
Keqing reported the situation.
After listening to Keqing's words, Takumi nodded.
He wasn't too concerned about it.
That task could be handled by others.
Next, the two of them continued their work.
Wangshu Inn was completely remodeled.
Once the slime-powered station below was completed, Takumi installed electrical crystals and transformed them into storage batteries to store energy.
After that, they connected the wiring.
The next step was capturing some electric slimes.
Alchemy devices designed to absorb the electricity from slimes had already been installed.
Once the slimes were placed, they would generate electricity continuously.
The power would then be stored for Wangshu Inn's use.
As for transforming the old waterwheel into a generator, Takumi wasn't idle either.
He activated the power of the Herrscher of Reason and completed the transformation effortlessly.
Another power system was set up.
Takumi managed to complete two entire power systems in just one day.
By nightfall, Wangshu Inn was fully illuminated with electric lights.
The brightness was far superior to the previous kerosene lamps.
Seeing this transformation, the workers at Wangshu Inn were amazed.
It was incredible.
The lights inside now shone as bright as daylight.
No more dim and flickering lamps.
Takumi looked at the completely transformed Wangshu Inn and nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, that should do it."
"You don't need to manually start the power anymore."
"The power station below will provide enough electricity every day."
"In the future, we'll have electric teapots. If more energy is needed, we'll just raise more slimes."
"That should be enough."
Hearing Takumi's explanation, Verr Goldet nodded happily.
"Thank you, Mr. Takumi."
"You've been a great help."
Takumi nodded and didn't say much.
With the wiring in place, the next step was remodeling the elevator.
That wasn't something he needed to personally oversee.
The next day, Takumi took Keqing, some workers, and Klee to Dihua Marsh.
They needed to work on the power station.
Takumi drove, with Klee and Keqing sitting beside him.
Two other vehicles followed behind them.
Their destination: the Seven Statues at Dihua Marsh.
As they approached, they saw the massive stone structure in the distance.
Water was cascading down from the top.
The view was breathtaking.
Seeing the structure, Takumi couldn't hide his satisfaction.
It seemed Zhongli had followed his blueprints precisely.
Now, all that was left was wiring the place.
"Wow!!"
"Brother Takumi, did Uncle Zhongli build that?"
"That's amazing!"
Klee remembered this place well.
It used to be a great spot for fish blasting, but now it had completely transformed.
Still…
Wouldn't it be fun to blow up fish on the dam?
Thinking of this, Klee's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yep, Zhongli built it."
"Otherwise, why would I have paid him yesterday?"
"But Klee, there aren't any fish up there."
"So, let's talk about fish blasting another time."
"I brought you here today because I need your help."
"There are some rocks that need to be blown up."
Hearing Takumi's words, Klee nodded enthusiastically.
Next, Takumi focused on setting up the power station.
High-voltage power lines would be extended from here to Guili Plains through Mingyun Village.
This setup would ensure a stable power supply for Guili Plains.
This massive power plant would generate electricity continuously for both Liyue and Guili Plains.
Between this and the slime power generation, the energy supply should be sufficient.
If not, they could always construct another power station elsewhere.
In Liyue, having high-voltage power lines was a necessity.
Takumi parked the vehicle beneath the Seven Statues.
Then, he signaled for the others to start moving.
He began assessing the surrounding terrain, while the rest inspected the site for potential safety hazards.
At the same time, they calculated the materials needed for future modifications.
