The two did not talk much about the topic.
Riding the flying motorcycle, Takumi soon returned to Liyue Harbor with Keqing.
Many people were surprised to see the motorcycle flying in the sky, but they quickly got used to it.
After all, Mr. Zhongli had been riding his small Sinai motorcycle all over the place recently. He even used it to catch up with ships to drink tea and listen to operas.
The people of Liyue Harbor had already accepted such sights. Now, seeing another one, and knowing that the riders were Takumi and Keqing, they had nothing much to say.
These motorcycles had to be Takumi's work.
The only question was whether they would be sold.
But since no announcements had been made, it was likely that they were not for sale.
Nowadays, many people visited Guili Plains frequently.
Guili Plains had been developed, and many traders who did business between the two areas often visited. At the same time, curious onlookers would go there to explore.
With the convenience of modern transportation, traveling between Liyue Harbor and Guili Plains was now much faster than before.
Liyue was developing at an incredible pace.
If the Geo Archon was watching, he would probably be pleased to see such progress.
More and more foreigners were also arriving in Liyue.
There were even rumors that many people from Inazuma wanted to escape and seek work in Liyue.
Life in Inazuma had become increasingly difficult, while Liyue was developing rapidly.
With various factories requiring large amounts of labor, there were plenty of job opportunities.
Although Liyue's domestic demand still outpaced production, it was expected that once local needs were met, Liyue's products would be exported.
For foreigners, this meant job opportunities. Coming to Liyue for work guaranteed a decent salary package.
Seizing the opportunity to work in a factory could one day allow them to buy a home in Liyue.
Upon arriving at Liyue Harbor, Takumi did not go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs but instead flew directly toward Yujing Terrace.
He then ascended to the Jade Chamber.
Ningguang was not in her usual office below—she was here.
As Takumi and Keqing landed with the flying motorcycle, Ningguang was already waiting at the entrance.
Watching Takumi descend slowly, her gaze remained fixed on the motorcycle beneath him.
It was clear that Ningguang was very interested in this new invention.
Especially since Takumi had just flown up effortlessly.
Wasn't this far better than a simple automobile?
No wonder the Geo Archon enjoyed flying around on one so much.
With a device like this, she could descend from the Jade Chamber whenever she wanted.
After all, getting down from the Jade Chamber was always a troublesome task.
"How many can I get?"
As soon as Takumi parked, Ningguang spoke up.
Hearing her, Takumi rolled his eyes.
"Why are you acting just like the Geo Archon?"
"The moment you see something new, you immediately ask for it."
Takumi was truly speechless.
The same thing had happened with Zhongli. He had seen the motorcycle, thought it was amazing, and immediately asked for one.
Now Ningguang was doing the same.
Hearing Takumi's response, Ningguang smirked.
"Oh? It seems I have similar taste to the Geo Archon."
"Give me a few."
"With this, it'll be much easier for me to travel."
"I can visit Guili Plains whenever I want."
Hearing her reasoning, Takumi didn't refuse.
"Three million Mora each. How many do you want?"
If she wanted one, she had to pay.
Takumi had no intention of mass-producing these for general sale.
Ningguang raised an eyebrow at the price.
"That expensive?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll take one."
"Is it powered by elemental crystals like the automobiles?"
Ningguang was curious.
Was this similar to a car in terms of energy consumption?
Takumi shook his head.
"Elemental crystals can't power this."
"If you use them, the vehicle will fall out of the sky after about ten minutes of flight."
"Driving on the ground doesn't consume much energy, but flying is a different matter."
"So, it can only be powered by a Vision."
A Vision could continuously supply elemental energy.
As long as a Vision was attached, the vehicle could fly indefinitely.
Of course, there were still limits.
It was best to stop after five or six hours of flight.
Otherwise, even a Vision user would struggle to keep up with the energy demand.
Hearing this, Ningguang was a bit disappointed but quickly accepted it.
It made sense.
After all, this was a flying vehicle.
It wasn't a simple glider.
And even Wind Gliders were expensive.
Why wouldn't a flying motorcycle be costly?
After some thought, Ningguang said, "Then I'll take one."
"Since only Vision holders can use it, there's no need for more."
Her secretaries didn't have Visions.
That meant she would be the only one using this in the future.
As for the secretaries?
They would have to rely on traditional methods.
Takumi nodded and immediately produced a unit for her.
He even added some special patterns to it.
Upon closer inspection, the design matched the markings on Ningguang's legs.
Naturally, Ningguang noticed this.
Seeing the familiar patterns, she rolled her eyes at Takumi.
Had he really been staring at her legs that much?
The so-called tattoo on her leg wasn't even a real tattoo.
It was merely an illusion caused by the fine, translucent stockings she wore.
After receiving her new motorcycle, Ningguang was quite satisfied.
"Alright. I'll send you the payment later."
"Come with me. Let's talk inside."
She shifted the topic to business.
Takumi and Keqing arriving so suddenly meant they had something important to discuss.
Otherwise, Takumi could have simply contacted her over the radio.
Without hesitation, Takumi and Keqing followed Ningguang into the Jade Chamber.
Inside, Ningguang invited them to sit. Soon, her secretary brought tea and snacks.
After taking a sip of tea, Takumi pulled out a set of blueprints.
"Keep these safe."
"Make sure these don't fall into the hands of foreign nations."
As he spoke, he handed over a thick stack of documents to Ningguang.
Hearing his words, Ningguang frowned and quickly scanned the documents.
But as she flipped through the pages, her expression grew serious.
"Battleships?"
"Designed for naval warfare?"
In an instant, she understood their purpose.
These were clearly weapons for combat.
Realizing this, Ningguang was taken aback.
However, as she examined the techniques detailed in the blueprints, she fell silent.
"Khaenri'ah's alchemy?"
Had Takumi integrated Khaenri'ah's technology into these ships?
