Hearing that it was related to Herta, Vill-V immediately calmed down.
"Have they already arrived to observe that world?"
"What do you need my help with?"
If that was the case, she would go and see what was needed.
"There are some things you'll need to make."
"After all, you possess the Herrscher of Reason's authority, and they have requested quite a few things," Takumi explained without the slightest embarrassment.
"Wow, you're just treating me like free labor?"
"How shameless!"
Upon hearing Takumi's words, Vill-V instantly understood his intentions.
He clearly just wanted her to help craft some items, which annoyed her greatly.
Weren't these things supposed to be made by him?
Yet now she had to do it?
Moreover, she clearly understood that Takumi wouldn't have brought her here if the task was simple.
He would have easily handled it himself.
Bringing her meant the items must indeed be numerous.
Takumi didn't deny it and directly handed Vill-V a list.
"Check it yourself, it's quite extensive."
"And all these items are exceptionally precise, extremely troublesome."
"It's best left to the great Vill-V."
"I've already finished the simpler ones."
"I'll leave the rest to you."
"Consider it a way to familiarize yourself with the equipment."
"After all, these devices will observe the entire universe, so they're numerous."
"I don't have much time, so you're my only option."
"Later, I'll need to adjust the entire world's time flow."
"If I continue at this pace, who knows when I'll finish."
Listening to Takumi and looking at the provided list, Vill-V instantly fell into deep contemplation.
"Could you just kill me instead?"
"Even with the Herrscher of Reason's authority, these items are extremely troublesome!"
Right now, Vill-V genuinely felt like cursing.
No wonder he had dragged her here.
This was just too troublesome.
"Hmm..."
"Anyway, you'll end up joining them eventually, won't you?"
"If neither of us does it now, you'll still have to later."
"Better early than late," Takumi laughed without any guilt.
He turned and looked at Vill-V without a shred of remorse.
As Takumi dragged Vill-V along, several Science Academy researchers looked on with surprise. However, upon seeing Vill-V's reluctant expression, they quickly understood.
Takumi must have needed Vill-V to do something; hence her displeased expression.
Takumi brought Vill-V to a plaza in front of Mebius's research institute.
He activated a teleportation magic circle there.
The next instant, both vanished.
Mebius happened to witness this.
Takumi had placed a magic circle outside her institute?
"Prometheus, what's that?"
When uncertain, asking Prometheus was always the best choice.
"A magic circle leading to another world; Ms. Herta and the others are already there."
Hearing this, Mebius's eyes brightened immediately.
"Really? Then I'll go and have a look too."
Saying this, Mebius stepped outside, injected Honkai energy into the magic circle, and instantly vanished.
Takumi had just emerged from the magic circle and was about to enter Herta's office when the circle activated again.
Seeing this, Takumi grew curious.
Who used it so quickly?
Mebius appeared from the circle.
Takumi was slightly surprised.
"Is this the Herta Space Station?"
Following Takumi, Mebius looked around, somewhat astonished.
"Why are you here?"
"This is a replica of Herta Space Station."
"But since you're here, come along."
Seeing it was Mebius, Takumi didn't say more. He simply entered Herta's office and pushed Vill-V forward.
"Let Vill-V help you make the instruments."
"I'll adjust this world's time flow."
"You'll have ample time to distribute all instruments."
"In about one month, the universe's time flow will shift to one day equaling one year."
"That's plenty of time to distribute equipment throughout the universe."
"Vill-V also has the ships I brought from this world, designed specifically for world traversal."
"You can use them directly."
Takumi directly threw Vill-V under the bus.
She could now handle the tedious tasks here.
"Alright! Thanks, Vill-V!"
Herta laughed delightedly.
She had no objections since she knew Vill-V well.
Vill-V rolled her eyes dramatically but said nothing more.
"Hmph! I knew you'd exploit me."
After glaring fiercely at Takumi, she went off to start her work, crafting necessary items.
Seeing this, the Genius Society members quickly gathered around, eager to join the excitement.
Seeing everything settled, Takumi announced:
"I'll head off first."
"That's it for now."
"If there are any issues, just contact me."
"I'll research how to communicate between worlds."
Having said this, Takumi vanished.
This matter needed to be addressed urgently.
Takumi's world had integrated many worlds, yet communication was limited to within his world.
Outside his world, connections reverted to external networks, as if a wall separated them.
The teleportation circle created today intrigued Takumi greatly.
He decided to research it further.
Herta didn't mind. She immediately engaged Mebius in discussing academic topics.
...
Takumi returned home.
At this moment, Kana had already settled in comfortably.
She was curiously examining a terminal, browsing information.
Miori Shiba stood nearby, patiently explaining.
Seeing this harmonious scene surprised Takumi somewhat.
He had been away two or three days, yet Kana had already adapted?
Moreover, she seemed to get along quite well with Miori Shiba.
Takumi approached curiously.
"Kana, are you comfortable here?"
Hearing Takumi's voice, Kana stopped and looked at him.
"Yes!"
"Your place is great."
"It feels just like home."
"I really like this world."
Yes, she truly loved this world.
With Honkai energy everywhere, it felt exactly like her home.
Chapter 432, Board First, Pay Later
Hearing Kana's words, Takumi couldn't help but smile.
"Then treat this place as your own home."
"If you ever want to return, I can send you back."
This reassured Takumi.
However, Kana decisively refused:
"I'm not going back!"
"It's boring over there."
Why would she want to return?
It wasn't nearly as interesting as Takumi's world.
If it had been fun, she wouldn't have been sleeping all day.
Since Takumi had brought her here, she would now live here.
This would be her home from now on.
Seeing her firm decision, Takumi said no more.
If that was her choice, then so be it.
"Finished your tasks already?"
"Have you handled everything there?"
After seeing Takumi finish chatting with Kana, Miori Shiba couldn't help asking.
Takumi had dropped off Kana and left to handle some issues without returning immediately.
"Yes, it's all done."
"Next, I plan to build a communications network for our world."
"Let's connect our network to other worlds."
"Building the space passage earlier gave me some inspiration."
"Since those worlds are already close to ours, we should construct an ultra-large magic array to cover all of them."
Takumi shared his thoughts.
After listening, Miori Shiba considered briefly and voiced her concern:
"Aren't some worlds still not in the space age yet?"
"If you set up communications, what if aliens in those worlds intercept it?"
"Have you thought about this problem?"
That was her main worry.
If the array covered worlds externally, aliens could also intercept signals.
"What's the big deal?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Besides, our network can only connect to our terminals, nothing else."
"I'm very confident about this."
"Currently, our devices in other worlds can use theirs, but theirs can't detect or use ours."
"Don't underestimate our communications."
"After absorbing the knowledge I brought back, Prometheus upgraded our entire network several times."
Takumi wasn't worried about Miori's concerns at all.
It wasn't arrogance; rather, aliens probably wouldn't even understand his signals.
Hearing Takumi's explanation, Miori realized he had a point.
She nodded, accepting his reasoning:
"Alright."
"Then there shouldn't be any issues."
"We'll probably have countless new netizens."
Speaking of this, Miori looked somewhat peculiar.
After Takumi's world connected with others, many people from other worlds bought terminals from Takumi's world and resold them.
His terminals were now available everywhere.
If Takumi's production wasn't fast enough, it would have struggled to meet demand.
In Takumi's world, this small terminal functioned as an ID card, phone, computer, and gaming console.
In other worlds, while not an ID card, it was still an extremely powerful device comparable to their supercomputers.
This technological gap reportedly caused many mobile phone manufacturers in those worlds to collapse or shift industries.
Although some worlds had people coming to study Takumi's technology, the gap was still immense, leading many countries to essentially give up.
Moreover, the currency issued by Takumi had gained significant influence in other worlds.
Takumi's currency was extremely clever.
To utilize Takumi's technology, they needed materials from his world, more vital than even oil.
Thus, Takumi's currency had begun to dominate trade in connected worlds.
The impact Takumi's world had on other worlds was immense and multifaceted.
Currency, technology, knowledge, financial systems, and real estate were significantly affected.
If Takumi linked all worlds through a unified network, the user base would explode.
By then, those worlds would hold no secrets from Takumi.
Though frankly, there weren't many secrets left now.
Everything would become even clearer then.
Miori was deeply aware of this.
Although Takumi didn't handle minor matters, Miori closely followed developments.
She fully understood the profound impact complete connectivity would bring.
"It doesn't matter."
"The servers can handle it," Takumi said nonchalantly.
After all, his servers were on the moon, and he could easily add more planets as servers.
He could even modify the moons of other worlds.
"Alright, understood."
"Prometheus will handle things when the time comes."
"Do whatever you need to."
"But, when connecting the networks, it'd be better if Ningguang notified the leaders of those worlds first."
"The shock we've already caused is enormous."
"Connecting networks might push some of those countries to collapse."
"It's best to prepare in advance."
Hearing Miori's words, Takumi frowned slightly.
But he quickly relaxed.
"I understand."
"I'll inform Ningguang when the time comes."
Currently, Ningguang managed the affairs of Takumi's world efficiently.
Takumi didn't have to worry about it.
After staying home briefly, Takumi left to handle these matters.
Since the decision was made, he would quickly complete preparations.
Takumi decided to finish things first, then notify others later.
After all, he wasn't entirely sure his method would work yet.
There was no need to mention it prematurely.
He'd confirm it first, then slowly discuss it afterward.
In other words, board first, pay later.
Nothing wrong with that.
With that thought, Takumi left his world to head outside.
Upon arrival, he immediately entered his strongest state.
Then he unleashed the power of the Herrscher of Law.
Instantly, a magic array covered his entire world.
Outside, other world bubbles also began forming magic arrays that connected seamlessly with Takumi's array, forming an enormous interlinked network.
Chapter 433, Could You Inform Me Earlier?
The magic array that Takumi created began embedding itself into the other worlds, integrating seamlessly with them.
After completing the magic array, Takumi started deploying communication devices into each world.
Relying solely on the magic array connection wasn't sufficient; signal reception and amplification equipment were also necessary.
This was similar to how Takumi's world used the moon.
What Takumi was inserting were essentially servers.
After everything was set, Takumi instructed:
"Prometheus, try to establish a connection."
With the setup completed, the next step was testing.
Upon receiving the command, Prometheus began testing.
Under Takumi's arrangement, she could now access communications beyond their world.
Through the relay of the magic arrays, she quickly accessed other worlds.
After some calculations, Prometheus spoke:
"No problems detected."
"All world terminals are now able to receive signals."
"Everything is operational."
She secretly connected and tested all terminals.
Now, it was basically confirmed that all worlds' networks were interconnected.
Hearing this, Takumi nodded.
"Good!"
"Then there's no issue."
"Follow Ningguang's instructions from now on."
"Open the network whenever she says."
After saying this, Takumi returned to his own world.
He then went to find Ningguang to discuss these matters.
At this time, Ningguang was taking a rare break.
When she saw Takumi suddenly appear in her office, Ningguang realized immediately that he had something to discuss.
Ningguang looked at Takumi suspiciously.
"What's the matter?"
Takumi rarely visited her unless there was something important.
Seeing Takumi now, she was certain he needed her help again.
"It's about connecting our network to other worlds."
"I've already set everything up."
"We can connect our network to other worlds at any moment."
"Our world has already significantly impacted other worlds."
"Will you handle this?"
Takumi spoke while sitting down in front of Ningguang.
Ningguang was stunned upon hearing Takumi.
Had Takumi already finished setting things up?
"You should've informed me earlier."
"Is the network already connected?"
Regaining her composure, Ningguang rolled her eyes in annoyance.
He should've mentioned this earlier, as it was a complicated matter.
"The framework is set, but the networks aren't connected yet."
"That's why I'm here to inform you."
Takumi felt somewhat awkward.
"You often handle things directly without consulting me first."
