Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Chapter 569: Chapter 569



Takumi walked out of the General Affairs Department and, after sensing with his own strength, locked onto Zhongli's location.

At the same time, he also noticed that Venti was nearby.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand, and a gentle breeze carried his message to Venti, asking him to come to Zhongli's office.

After arranging this, Takumi began heading toward Zhongli's office.

Zhongli, who was in his office, also sensed someone locking onto his position.

After realizing it was Takumi, he didn't think much of it.

Instead, he began to prepare some tea, ready to make a good pot for Takumi.

Meanwhile, Venti, who was singing to earn pocket money, received Takumi's message.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dwell on it.

Instead, he addressed the crowd in front of him:

"Hey, that's all for today."

"I have something to do next, so I'll be leaving now."

"Thank you all for coming today. See you tomorrow."

After saying this, Venti put away his instrument and ran outside.

Although he didn't know why Takumi had called him, he had a feeling it might involve dinner.

Venti was quite pleased with this thought.

By the time Takumi reached Zhongli's office, Venti had already arrived.

"Hey."

"Takumi, what do you need from me?"

Venti sat down at the coffee table with practiced ease, showing no politeness.

Zhongli, already accustomed to this, poured Venti a cup of tea.

Takumi couldn't help but feel speechless at the sight of Venti's casual behavior.

"I'm looking for you because I want to discuss something important."

"As the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, you can decide certain things."

Hearing this, Venti's face filled with confusion.

"About Mondstadt?"

"Then you should talk to Jean about it."

"I don't get involved in those things."

Zhongli was also puzzled.

Why had Takumi brought this up all of a sudden?

These seemed like things Takumi could decide on his own.

Zhongli had long since stopped managing Liyue's day-to-day affairs.

Takumi looked at Venti, feeling a bit helpless.

"Let me explain the plan first."

"This plan could have a significant impact."

"Captain Jean might not be able to decide immediately, so you could help guide the decision."

"We even need involvement from Sumeru's side."

With that, Takumi began explaining the plan to construct a railway connecting the three nations.

"A route connecting three countries?"

"If it is built, the economic boost could be tremendous."

"You should just discuss this with Mondstadt's officials."

"They'll surely support such a plan."

After hearing Takumi's proposal, Venti couldn't help but admire it.

It was indeed a good idea.

He also understood why Captain Jean might hesitate.

The required investment would be enormous.

"So, I hope you can talk to Captain Jean."

"Even if the Anemo Archon doesn't manage daily affairs, giving your opinion still counts, right?"

"After this, I will also speak with Nahida."

Building a railway linking three countries was undoubtedly a massive project.

For Liyue, Takumi had no issues.

Zhongli had left Liyue Qixing in charge, and they generally agreed with Takumi's proposals.

As for Nahida? She would likely support the idea too.

The only potential hurdle was Mondstadt.

After all, Jean was only the Acting Grand Master.

For such an important matter, she might not decide on her own.

Building roads might be within her authority, but a railway connecting Liyue and Sumeru?

She would probably need to consult with the Grand Master, who was away on an expedition.

It could take a long time to get a response.

Because of this, Takumi wanted Venti's help.

If the Anemo Archon himself supported the project, Jean would likely agree without further delay.

Venti nodded.

"I understand. I'll talk to her about it."

"If this plan works, Mondstadt will benefit greatly!"

Maybe his pocket money could increase a bit too.

Thinking of this, Venti smiled.

Seeing this, Takumi continued.

"Then I'll discuss it with Ningguang and the others."

"We should invite representatives from Mondstadt and Sumeru."

"Let's sit down together and talk this through."

Takumi decided to start preparing for the discussions.

Venti agreed eagerly.

"Sure, I'll talk to her."

"No problem!"

"You can count on me."

"By the way, is dinner included today?"

What did he mean by that?

Takumi looked at Venti, feeling a bit of a headache.

He thought Mondstadt had raised Venti well enough that he wouldn't be so shameless.

But here he was, still as bold as ever.

"Alright, I'll treat you to dinner."

Takumi sighed, not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing this, Venti's face lit up.

He could save money on dinner and maybe even drink some good wine tonight.

He was genuinely happy.

Although Mondstadt provided him with a decent allowance, Venti spent most of it on wine.

If he had money, he believed he should drink better wine, right?

Because of this, his monthly allowance was never enough.

Especially since Diluc's fine wines cost hundreds of thousands of Mora per bottle.

Expensive to the point of pain.

His pocket money barely lasted five minutes in Diluc's tavern.

You could say Diluc was the biggest winner.

Now that someone was treating him, he could continue to drink through the evening.

Perfect!

Not to mention, he had earned a bit of extra money from singing today.

He could drink even better tonight.

When Takumi invited him to dinner, he could order a few more bottles of fine wine.

His mood was great!

Takumi had no idea what Venti was plotting.

After chatting with Zhongli for a while, Takumi decided it was time to eat.

After lunch, Takumi began preparing a formal proposal.

He wrote out a detailed plan.

He also mapped out where the railway would be built.

Building a railway required careful consideration.

Some areas would be very challenging, especially with Liyue's mountainous terrain.

It was important to find the most convenient and gentle path.

Before construction could start, these places needed thorough investigation.

Liyue had too many mountains.

The specific route would need serious discussion when the time came.

With these thoughts in mind, Takumi returned to the General Affairs Department.

He quickly began drafting the proposal on his computer.

[Connecting the Commercial Arteries of Three Nations]

Takumi wrote diligently.

If the railway could be built, it would be incredibly important for all three countries.

Once completed, goods could be transported continuously across nations.

This was a highly beneficial project.
