"Once development progresses, people will naturally move."
"If not, we'll just relocate other races there."
"There are already many races in this world."
"We could assign planets by race."
"One race, one planet?"
Talking about land on other planets seemed a bit premature.
Even though space battleships were active
Moving populations off-world would still take time.
Even this planet had tons of unused land.
Despite having many people already.
Still about 70% of the land was unused.
Takumi's world was just too vast.
If managed by manpower alone, it might be unmanageable.
Thankfully, Prometheus existed in this world.
Keqing nodded thoughtfully.
"Then there's no problem."
"I might not even live that long."
"So maybe I don't have to worry about it?"
"Leave it to the next generation."
By then, she might be retired.
Takumi was immediately displeased.
"Retired?"
"You think you can retire?"
"Don't you know we've developed life-extension potions?"
"If you want to retire, you'll need to work for hundredsmaybe even thousandsof years."
Takumi grinned brightly.
Retirement benefits begin at 300 years old!
Or later!
So keep working hard, Keqing!
Chapter 441, College Life is Great
Keqing was full of question marks after hearing what Takumi said.
Was there really such a thing as working for hundreds of years? Her lifespan couldn't handle that. She wasn't Ganyu, after all. Ganyu had worked for over a thousand years.
And now Takumi seemed to want her to do the same?
Even though she usually liked working, hearing that made her a bit dumbfounded. She instinctively resisted the idea.
"No need to make that face. Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Takumi patted her shoulder with a big smile. "Just look at Cloud Retainer or Ganyuhaven't they been working for ages? You'll get used to it too. And as for your lifespan, I promise I won't shortchange you. Living thousands of years? No problem."
At that moment, Keqing felt like her shoulder was carrying a thousand pounds. She wanted to retire right away.
"Can I refuse?" she asked. It was the first time she felt that working wasn't a good thing. Especially after realizing she might have to work for centuries. Just thinking about it gave her a headache. Who knows how Ganyu managed?
She truly admired Ganyu.
So now Keqing wanted to say no. She didn't want to work anymore.
"Hehe~! Nope!" Takumi grinned.
Now that she was on his ship, how could he possibly let her go?
Seeing how quickly he refused, Keqing rolled her eyes.
"Fine, let's drop the subject. What are you even doing here?"
She didn't want to talk about it anymore. Talking further would only stress her out. Instead, she asked what Takumi was doing in Liyue Harbor.
"Just wandering around. I don't have anything to do, so I'm free," Takumi chuckled.
Keqing felt even more frustrated hearing that. Was he deliberately provoking her?
"If you're that free, why don't you help out with work... never mind. Forget I said anything. I've got work to do. I'm handing off some tasks and then taking on my new position."
She paused. Asking Takumi to work was like asking him to die. She understood that much.
With that, she turned and left. She didn't want to stay here anymore. Who knows what else Takumi might say next?
After seeing Keqing off, Takumi wasn't bothered. He continued wandering around.
Liyue Harbor really was lively. Some unusual races had started showing up. Although not everyone from Liyue had moved over, it already had the same bustling atmosphere it did back in Teyvat. It was only going to get more prosperous.
After walking around Liyue, Takumi headed over to Inazuma, which was still under construction.
Many people had already arrived. He even spotted a shop labeled Nagano Fireworks.
Takumi's eyes lit upwas the Queen of Summer Festivals, Yoimiya, already here?
He peeked inside the shop. There were people busy working, but he couldn't spot Yoimiya. A bit disappointed, he left without lingering.
He continued exploring Inazuma City, which was built on an island. After Yae Miko and others arrived, they had adopted many different ideas and even set up beach areasclearly planning to develop tourism.
When Takumi reached the beach, he saw a lot of people playing around. The climate was just right.
Many people enjoyed coming to the seaside, and combined with Inazuma's unique style, it had become a popular tourist destination.
Everything was falling into place. Once all the Inazuma residents moved in, it would be perfect.
Takumi also checked on several other cities under construction. Everything was progressing smoothly.
After his tour, he returned to City of Hopehis residence.
Because Takumi lived there, and many of the government offices were located there, it had become the heart of his world, unmatched by any other city.
Most travelers who came to Takumi's world would eventually visit City of Hope.
Although it was full of lolis, the city was highly technologically advanced.
Back in the city, Takumi headed to the school to check on the little girls like Klee.
They should've gotten much stronger recently and probably learned more magic.
However, when he arrived, Klee and the others weren't at school.
They weren't on campus, possibly taken somewhere by Himeko.
Takumi didn't feel like searching. If he really wanted to, one thought would let him locate them.
He shook his head and continued wandering.
The Magic Academy had now become the largest magic school in Takumi's world. It even included elementary and middle school levels.
The section he was in was a high schoolMagic High School to be precise. It even had a university department.
The university focused on developing magic.
People like Chika Fujiwara were about to enter university.
Suddenly remembering that, Takumi hopped into the group chat.
Takumi: [@Chika Fujiwara, you guys are starting college soon, right?]
Soon after he sent the message, Chika replied.
Chika Fujiwara: [What nonsense are you talking about?]
[We've all decided not to go to school anymore!]
[Confident.jpg]
Our power has outgrown school.
Since entering the group chat, they had all been enhanced. Their abilities far surpassed those of regular students.
There was no need to keep studying unless they wanted to pursue more advanced magical knowledgebut was it necessary?
Not really.
After multiple enhancements, their magical knowledge had already become incredibly strong.
Sagiri: [There's nothing more to learn in school.]
[We'll just apply to Prometheus for a college diploma and call ourselves university grads.]
Megumi Kato: [Exactly. We can just skip grades, so we're not planning to keep studying.]
[We might become gourmet hunters next.]
[And take on some missions if they come up.]
These immigrants in Takumi's world had already made plans for their futures.
After graduating, they would go out and train. The Gourmet Hunter World was a great place for thatbattling and earning money at the same time.
If any missions came up, they would take them on.
After all, they needed money too.
These girls had already made up their minds.
Chapter 442, 24 Hours NonstopThere's Even Traffic Jams
Even after arriving in Takumi's world, everyone still needed to think about their future.
Although Fujiwara Chika and the others hadn't openly discussed it, they had actually talked about it privatelywhat to do after graduation, future career plans, and so on. They had already thought things through.
That's why people living in Takumi's world all had their own life plans.
Takumi: [@Everyone, you've all got plans, huh?] [That's great.] [If it doesn't work out, just go fight aliens.] [My Grand Space Marshal is currently locked in a bloody war with them!]
His awesome Grand Space Marshal was having the time of his life. Cosmo was fully immersed in the cosmic expedition. In his words, it was all very majestic.
Takumi didn't bother to interfere.
Many alien territories had already been conquered. On top of that, Esdeath was also aggressively attacking the aliensthough most of the time was spent just traveling.
But with the next-generation battleships being developed, they should be able to save a lot more time soon. Lala was already working on that.
Her father had also finished dealing with his matters and was preparing to join the space war.
Unifying the entire universe seemed inevitable.
After experiencing that devastated world, Takumi became even more determined.
Besides Takumi's world, the surrounding 26 other worlds would eventually need unification as well.
In other words, the war might go on for a long time.
Bronya: [Heading into space sounds good.] [The new ships are ready. We're planning to send some people up. If you're interested, you can come along.]
Bronya spoke up. She had been working with Lala on the ships, so she knew a lot about the situation. If others were interested in space travel, they could join too.
Fujiwara Chika: [No way!!] [Life in space is too boring.] [I don't want to go!]
Sagiri: [Same here.]
Megumi Kato: [Same here.]
Saten Ruiko: [Same here.]
Takumi: [@Saten Ruiko, what does this have to do with you? You're not even in my world yet.]
Seeing an unfamiliar name pop up, Takumi was slightly dumbfounded.
But when he saw Saten Ruiko, he suddenly remembered something he'd planned for Touma.
He needed to find a chance to send Touma to another world.
Saten Ruiko: [Ehehe~!] [I may be a middle schooler, but I've already planned out my future.] [Once I graduate, I'll move to your world, Takumi-nii.]
She was serious.
Ever since Takumi visited her world and separated the Magic Gods, things had changed drastically.
Academy City had begun fully opening up to the outside world.
Superpower development was now being promoted globally. It was almost as if they wanted to give everyone superpowers.
The magic world had also been exposed. The mysterious was no longer mysterious.
Magic and superpowers had formed two opposing camps.
This chaos was Alestair's doing. Truly outrageous.
But thanks to it, Saten Ruiko had gained a lot of freedom.
She could leave Academy City anytime.
She even became the newest Level 5along with Kuroko.
With Academy City fully open, many new Level 5s had emerged, something Saten never imagined.
Takumi: [You'll come after graduation] [Middle schooler, huh. Forget it!]
Who knew when that would be? Probably another five or six years.
In just one year, Takumi could become unrivaled. In five or six years, who knew how strong he'd become?
By then, his world might become a multi-realm cluster like Little Garden.
Saten Ruiko: [I feel like I've been rejected!!]
That wave of disappointmentwhat the heck?
She felt discouraged.
Kurumi Tokisaki: [Definitely rejected.]
Bronya: [Yup, rejected.]
Himeko: [Truly rejected.]
Fujiwara Chika: [Absolutely rejected.]
Everyone could tell.
There was no need to say itit was painfully obvious.
Saten Ruiko was truly bummed.
Alice: [Why is everyone so idle? If you're that free, come hunting with me!!] [We need loads of ingredients in Takumi-kun's world right now. Sales are booming!!]
Seeing the chat full of idle chatter, Alice couldn't hold back any longer.
So many people doing nothing? Why not go hunting?
Only fools would pass up on making money.
Takumi's world had a massive population, consuming mountains of food every day.
Many people were frantically hunting and sending ingredients over.
Takumi was surprised by Alice's message.
Takumi: [It's that popular?]
If that was true, it might become a problem.
With so many people in his world, even one entire world's supply might not be enough.
Not to mention that people from other worlds were also sourcing from his.
Alice: [It's super popular.] [Your world is raising those creatures, but it'll take time to scale up.] [So for now, supply is all on us.] [Honestly, many places have been overharvested.] [I'm worried our world might be eaten clean and still won't meet demand.]
She couldn't help but complainit was too much.
The growth rate couldn't keep up with the harvesting.
Fujiwara Chika: [No biggie, Takumi will fix it!]
Sagiri: [No worries, Takumi-nii will fix it!!]
Bronya: [Just ask Takumi to help. He can accelerate growth in his own world.] [What's the big deal?]
Nobody was worried.
With Takumi around, what was there to fear?
Takumi: [Fine, I'll grow some in my world.] [My ecosystem is still missing some species anyway.] [This can't go on. We'll run out.]
He agreedit was a serious issue.
If they kept relying on the Shokugeki no Soma world, it might be exhausted. Other worlds might not be able to grow ingredients fast enough either.
Some rare ingredients required years to mature.
Without external help, who knew when they'd be ready?
But with Takumi's intervention, it would be different.
He could accelerate their growth.
Alice: [Perfect!!] [If that works, we won't be under so much pressure.] [Honestly, cars have been passing in front of my house non-stop for 24 hours, and there are even traffic jams!!]
She really had to complain.
Ever since Takumi placed the portal at her house, traffic had never stopped.
Chapter 443, Kaguya: Darling, Please Give Me Money
Ugh, so frustrating.
No one even lives in Alice's house anymore. Her whole family moved to live in Takumi's world. She didn't want to return there either. It might be lively, but it was way too noisy.
If possible, Takumi really needed to start producing food ingredients in his own world. That way, her own world could finally catch a break.
After chatting in the group with Alice and the others for a while, Takumi said to Prometheus,
"Prometheus, contact President Ichiryu and ask him to prepare one sample of every seed variety he can. The more types, the better. Have him send them over."
"IGO definitely has those things."
Hearing this, Prometheus immediately sent a message. A short while later, she responded:
"Mr. Ichiryu said he understands. He'll have them sent over tomorrow."
Takumi nodded.
"Good! Let me know when they arrive. I'll replicate them and plant them around the world."
"Oh right, I almost forgotalso get me the genetic data of those special creatures."
As he spoke, Takumi suddenly remembered. With the genetic information, he could recreate those creatures.
