Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Liyue had celebrated the new year and returned to its usual bustling state.

After handling his tasks, Takumi and Keqing headed to Qingxu Pool.

This time, they didn't use a teleportation portal.

Instead, they flew through the sky on a bicycle, passing over Liyue Harbor.

When they reached the industrial area behind Tianheng Mountain, Takumi couldn't help but remark:

"Ningguang has really developed this place."

"Is she planning to turn this area into an industrial zone?"

The number of factories had grown significantly.

There were facilities producing all kinds of goods, including electrical appliances.

Keqing nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's exactly her plan."

"We can't build more factories in Liyue Harbor. There's no space left."

"So, we're expanding here."

"Guiliyuan already has many factories. Building more here provides jobs for those who can't commute to Liyue Harbor."

"If development continues like this, this place could become a small town."

"Plus, it's close to the docks. Goods can be easily transported to other nations."

Keqing explained Ningguang's vision to Takumi.

The location had great logistical advantages.

It was close to both the docks and the main trade routes.

Ningguang even had plans to build restaurants and accommodations for visiting business partners.

In the future, this area might thrive as a trade town.

It was also conveniently close to the power station, ensuring a stable power supply.

Listening to Keqing's insights, Takumi nodded approvingly.

The development strategy seemed sound.

He had mostly left Liyue's development in Ningguang's capable hands.

Seeing how well everything was progressing, he felt reassured.

After observing the industrial area, Takumi and Keqing accelerated their pace toward The Chasm.

The roads they passed were well-constructed, with safety rails and barriers.

These not only protected travelers but also helped guard against hilichurl attacks.

Hilichurls were an enduring presence on Teyvat, like a renewable resource.

Takumi recalled Miss Alice's humorous idea of using hilichurls to generate electricity.

A perpetual motion machine of sorts.

But realistically, Liyue's power supply was stable.

If needed, building another power station wouldn't be difficult.

Liyue had ample sites for power generation.

After a brief flight, Takumi and Keqing arrived at Qingxu Pool.

The construction progress impressed Takumi.

From a distance, Qingxu Pool looked like a shining gem.

Perhaps, in the future, it would shine even brighter.

They descended and began inspecting the site.

Many houses were already complete, with furniture being delivered.

These buildings would become shops, taverns, and homes.

Parking lots were built, and the main structures were under renovation.

The tallest building was designated as the office for the local management team.

It was clear this place would develop into a bustling town.

How the office would be staffed and managed would be up to Ningguang.

After spending some time here, they moved on to The Chasm.

The tunnel construction was nearly complete.

Both Takumi and Keqing were satisfied with the progress.

The next step was addressing the black mud at the bottom of The Chasm.

"What should we do about the black mud below?"

"Mining has stopped, but the mud keeps appearing."

Keqing responded thoughtfully:

"Yelan is handling that."

"She's been coordinating with Sumeru scholars."

"Experts have been invited to help."

"When the tunnel opens, more researchers will come."

"Fontaine has also sent people and equipment."

"We should see progress soon."

This issue was under Yelan's management.

She had been deeply involved in The Chasm's exploration.

Her knowledge surpassed even that of the regular workers there.

After ensuring there were no major issues, Takumi and Keqing began their return to Liyue Harbor.

Upon arriving, they headed straight to Ningguang's office.

Ningguang had just finished her work when they arrived.

She welcomed them warmly.

"Did you finish your inspection?"

"The roads will open soon."

"Sumeru has completed their side of the tunnel too."

"Many merchants are already investing in the trade city."

"It will become a significant market in the future."

She shared the latest updates with Takumi.

Ningguang was eager to see the trading route open.

With it, Liyue's economy could expand further into Sumeru's markets.

Takumi nodded.

"That's great news."

"But we need to ensure production keeps up."

"When Sumeru's market opens, we can't afford a supply shortage."

Ningguang smiled confidently.

"I've already planned for that."

"We'll ramp up production."

"We'll prepare millions of mobile phones to ship out."

"Other goods are also being stockpiled."

"We'll be ready."

Her assurance filled Takumi with confidence.

With everything on track, they were set for the next phase of development.

Liyue was poised to strengthen its position as a trade hub, with Takumi, Ningguang, and the rest of the team leading the charge.
