Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Chapter 553: Chapter 553



Takumi and Ningguang exchanged a look and then glanced away.

Of course, Takumi noticed Keqing's expression.

She looked quite speechless.

It seemed like Keqing was a bit jealous.

The "Teyvat Vinegar Queen" perhaps?

Well, maybe Keqing would actually like that title.

The thought made the corners of Takumi's mouth curl up slightly.

He felt quite amused.

However, this kind of smile looked like a provocation in Keqing's eyes.

Immediately, Keqing started glaring at Takumi.

"What are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Nothing."

"Just thought of something funny."

"Alright, let's not dwell on this."

"Ningguang, don't focus too much on Snezhnaya."

"If they want to develop, let them."

"When necessary, we can even give them a little push."

"You know what I mean, right?"

There were certainly many spies from Liyue within Snezhnaya.

Some might even be hiding within their network.

If Takumi wanted to find them, it wouldn't be difficult.

But he didn't want to expose them just yet.

In fact, he hoped they would relay information back to Snezhnaya.

Maybe even stir up a bit of chaos occasionally.

After all, if Snezhnaya wanted to advance their technology, Takumi would support it.

If they hit a roadblock, he might even lend a helping hand.

Ningguang nodded, signaling her understanding.

"Got it."

"Next, we need to focus on the situation at Dragonspine."

"When the weather warms up, we can start excavation."

"We'll also begin building roads there."

Developing Dragonspine was another priority.

This time, it would rely heavily on equipment rather than manpower.

Takumi agreed.

"We should also send people there now to begin training."

"Operating those machines requires skilled hands."

"Find the workers from The Chasm and let them train in the workshops."

"Once trained, they'll receive certification to specialize in operating the equipment."

"We need more technical talent."

Ningguang had no objections.

It was a practical plan.

Cultivating technical talent would benefit Liyue's future projects.

After discussing a bit more, Takumi and Keqing left Ningguang's office.

They returned to Guiliyuan to make preparations.

The upcoming projects included Dragonspine, the satellite launch, developing Yaoguang Shoal, and opening up the Shur area.

A lot needed to be arranged.

Once these projects started, the weather would gradually warm up.

By the time summer arrived, those places could be fully developed.

On the way back, Takumi took Keqing to visit the satellite launch base.

Currently, only the foundation had been laid.

There was still a lot of work ahead.

The construction site had just reopened.

There was no need for excessive attention at this stage.

After a brief inspection, Takumi and Keqing returned to the General Affairs Department to continue their work.

In the following days, Takumi focused on preparing for the development of Yaoguang Shoal.

One by one, construction teams were deployed.

Keqing organized their work meticulously.

She briefed the project leaders on the development plans.

By providing a clear model, the engineers knew exactly how to proceed.

Yaoguang Shoal was a vast area.

The beach was wide, and if certain parts weren't needed, they could be converted into housing.

Some homes were even being constructed directly on the sand.

There were challenges, of course.

Building on such a large beach wasn't easy.

The seabed below created complications.

This was why Takumi's intervention was necessary.

Otherwise, constructing buildings on the sandy shore would have been extremely difficult.

Upon arriving at Yaoguang Shoal, Takumi surveyed the expansive beach.

He activated his powers, transforming the loose sand into solid ground.

The workers present were amazed.

No matter how often they witnessed Takumi's abilities, it never ceased to amaze them.

With the beach now stable, Takumi began raising the terrain.

He separated the beach from the mainland.

Above would be leisure spaces, while below remained a play area on the beach.

After completing this, Takumi instructed the workers:

"Build the houses on the raised ground."

"We also need structures below. Build directly on the sand."

"I'll take care of the foundation for you."

The design for Yaoguang Shoal was clear.

The upper levels would offer spots to relax and enjoy the sea view.

The lower area would remain a sandy beach.

Additionally, a section was set aside for planting coconut trees.

Yes, Qiqi's favorite coconut trees.

The construction team understood immediately.

Takumi had laid out everything clearly.

If they didn't know what to do now, they might as well quit.

"Understood, Master Takumi!"

"We'll begin construction immediately."

"We'll do our best to finish before summer."

The team leader was enthusiastic.

The workers sprang into action.

Trucks lined up, loaded with materials.

At the signal, they began unloading supplies at designated spots.

The first step was building temporary facilities.

Sheds for cement, rest areas for workers—everything needed to be set up properly.

Only when the logistics were fully prepared could the main construction begin.

After all, in this season, rain was always a possibility.

If it rained, construction would have to stop.

Delays were the last thing anyone wanted.

Many of the workers here had previously been miners at The Chasm.

When the mining work paused, they had come to Guiliyuan looking for jobs.

Joining the construction team turned out to be a great opportunity.

The pay was good, and they could go home regularly.

The work-life balance was far better than in the mines.

These workers felt content with their new roles.

After each workday, they could return home if they wanted.

There were even regular holidays.

Plus, the food at the construction site was good.

Overall, this job was much more comfortable than mining.

After ensuring everything was set up properly, Takumi and Keqing left Yaoguang Shoal.

They still had many other tasks awaiting them.
