He could detonate it in one shot.
"Congrats!"
"Even if you return to Teyvat now, you'd be invincible."
Takumi sincerely congratulated him.
Zhongli smiled.
"Thanks!"
Then his gaze turned to the construction robots in the distance.
"Let me test this power."
"Could you ask those robots to step back a bit?"
"I want to see if I can build the framework of Liyue Harbor all at once."
"After that, we can just slowly decorate it."
Zhongli decided to test his power by building with stone.
He planned to alter its properties to be like cement.
The rest could be done gradually.
Chapter 192: Learn Mechanical Technology from Velvie
After Zhongli completed his enhancements, he couldn't wait to show off his skills.
Hearing Zhongli's words, Takumi nodded. Instantly, with a thought, he began issuing orders to the robots that were working at the construction site in the distance, instructing them to leave the area for now.
Some of the busy Liyue people who saw this scene were left confused. What was going on with these robots?
"You all step back for a bit."
"Your Emperor thinks you've been working too hard."
"So, he plans to help out!"
While they were still puzzled, Takumi's voice suddenly echoed in their minds.
Upon hearing Takumi, the craftsmen of Liyue present were stunned for a moment.
"The Emperor?"
"Alright!"
"The Emperor is here?"
"That's great!"
For a moment, everyone started cheering.
Keqing, who had just returned from the Holy Son's place, also noticed this. She, too, was bewilderedwere those robots malfunctioning?
But she clearly heard what the others were saying.
The Emperor is here?
Thinking of this, she quickly scanned her surroundings. Then, in a hidden corner, she spotted Takumi and Zhongli.
Immediately, Keqing maneuvered her vehicle over to them.
"Emperor!"
"Takumi!"
Keqing hurriedly got off and greeted the two.
When Zhongli arrived, Keqing wasn't at the siteshe had gone to see the Holy Son and had just returned.
"Keqing, you're back," Takumi said, his eyes lighting up at the sight of her. "Just in time to watch your Emperor display his divine might!"
With that, he waved her over to watch the show.
Hearing Takumi, Keqing was a bit confused but quickly stepped forward.
Zhongli looked at Takumi with a touch of helplessness but didn't dwell on it. Instead, he got to work.
Once most people had cleared out, Zhongli began to act. His power spread into the earth, and under his control, the land began to change.
He had already reviewed the blueprints here. There wasn't much difference compared to Liyue Harborthis place was just more spacious, and some areas had been slightly redesigned.
After all, Liyue Harbor was built a long time ago, so it would be unreasonable to use the same plans here. The craftsmen, combined with Prometheus's advice, made some adjustments. Having memorized the plans, Zhongli began to manifest the foundation of Liyue City with his power.
In an instant, all the foundations were laid. Then, the ground began to changeone building after another sprang up. However, these buildings weren't yet roofed or painted; people would still need to finish them later.
Witnessing this miracle, the craftsmen were overjoyed. Each of them grew excited, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
Within just a few minutes, Zhongli had constructed all the buildings of Liyue City. Keqing found it incredible.
Originally, according to her plan, it might take a year or two to build an entire city, even with robotic assistance. But with the Emperor's help, it was finished so quickly?
Unbelievable!
If she'd known this was possible, she would have brought Zhongli in right away.
Unaware of Keqing's thoughts, Zhongli, after finishing the construction, spoke:
"That should do it."
"Now, you can decorate this place."
"Then take the time to learn well in this world."
"I'll slowly send more people over in the near future."
Moving everyone over at once wasn't feasiblebetter to take things step by step.
Keqing nodded in response.
"Understood, Emperor!"
She had no objections. She'd already been in this world for a while and had learned quite a lot in just a few daysit had truly broadened her horizons.
She was more than willing to continue studying here. Besides, she could even learn some magic and swordsmanship, which would greatly enhance her abilities.
Moreover, the Holy Son had given her a vial of Superpower Awakening Potion. Now, she possessed her own superpower.
Even without the Vision, she could control the Electro element now, which made her the happiest of all. She'd always felt that the Vision was a denial of her effortsthis was something she'd thought long ago. Now, having superpowers, she was determined to train hard and become even stronger.
To Keqing, the Vision was just an external tool. Her superpower, though, was her own strength, and that was what mattered most.
She had learned about superpowersthey are abilities humans gain through the use of special potions, just like innate human potential that can't be developed without the potion. Now, since she'd used the potion, her superpower had awakened.
After Zhongli finished, Takumi smiled and said:
"Well, Keqing, I'll leave you to your work."
"I'm heading off!"
With that, he glanced at Zhongli. Zhongli nodded, and the two left together. Takumi teleported Zhongli and himself back to his villa in an instant.
Once Takumi and Zhongli were gone, Keqing got busy. She started communicating with the robots to prepare the decoration materials and draw up renovation plans, striving to finish the place thoroughly.
With these thoughts, Keqing threw herself into the work.
...
Takumi returned to the villa with Zhongli. Bronya, Liliya, and the others were still chatting; even You was there.
When Takumi and Zhongli entered, Bronya couldn't help but speak:
"Takumi, give me some advice."
"I plan to study here with you."
"I've decided to focus on some auxiliary magic and specialize in mechanical knowledge."
"What do you think?"
Her main focus would be technology, with magic as support.
Takumi was a little surprised but replied, "That's great. Some of this world's technology is definitely worth learning. Your superpower is mechanical control, and machines aren't weakusing magic as support is a good plan."
He fully supported Bronya's idea. Even Zhongli chimed in:
"You can also learn some martial arts techniques. That way, your skill set will be even more complete."
Bronya's eyes lit up at thisit was indeed a great idea.
"Alright! It's decided."
She didn't hesitate at all, setting her course then and there. They had been discussing this for a while already.
"If you want to learn about mechanical matters, I think you should go find Vilvi. She's the true expert in that field. Now that she possesses the Herrscher of Reason's core, she might even be able to come up with some new things."
If you want to study mechanical technology, Vilvi is absolutely the right person to seek out.
Chapter 193: Let's Meet Up Tonight
Vilvi was still wandering around Alice's world. When Takumi returned, he merely sent them a message. When they would return was entirely up to them. Takumi wasn't bothered at all, since the passage between the two worlds was now open.
Bronya nodded in agreement with Takumi's suggestion. "I'll go find her!" Indeed, if you wanted to learn mechanics, Vilvi was definitely the right choice. That super engineer was truly formidable.
"Most people are here now."
"Let's have a get-together tonight."
"I'll ask the others in the group if they want to come."
"I'll post a task and have everyone come over."
"We'll have an offline meetup."
Takumi glanced at the people present, then suddenly had this idea. There were almost twenty people in the group now. Since that was the case, why not invite everyone to gather?
Hearing this, Zhongli was moved. "That sounds good! Ask in the group!" Zhongli was completely on board with the idea.
"A get-together? No problem!" Bronya naturally had no objections. Miori Shiba would just listen to Takumi anyway. Seeing everyone agree, Takumi started sending messages in the group chat.
Takumi: [@Everyone, come to the meetup tonight! Let's all meet in person!] [Are you coming? If you want to come, I'll post a task. Just come over and return the points to me.]
Takumi was extremely justified in using the group's resources for this. If anyone wanted to come, he'd just post a task and let them do so.
As soon as Takumi sent his message, people in the group began to respond one after another.
Fujiwara Chika: [Support, support!!]
Sagiri: [Absolutely agree!!]
Houraisan Kaguya: [Send it!]
Himeko: [I have no problem with that. If I can bring friends, that would be even better.]
Saten Ruiko: [!!!!] [I just got back, QAQ!!!]
Suoh Mikoto: [If possible, @Takumi, could you lend me a bracelet? I want to bring my whole clan.]
Ais: [I want to go... no problem for me!]
The people who weren't in the group didn't have any objections either. Ruiko was a bit frustrated, though. She'd just gotten back, and now there was going to be another party? Goodness, what a situation!
Takumi: [Space bracelets are no problem, just let me know if you need one and I'll send it to you later.] [@Saten Ruiko, just find a bathroom later and come over.] [You'll return afterward, so there's no issue.]
Since everyone was fine with it, things would be easy to arrange!
After saying all this, Takumi started taking action. He first posted a task in the group, putting 20,000 points into it, and set no limits on group members. The task name was as plain as could be: "Offline Meetup." The task was immediately released.
Once that was done, Takumi began distributing the space bracelets.
Himeko planned to bring everyone from the train.
Kaguya planned to bring Eirin and the others.
Mei planned to bring Kiana and her group.
Suoh Mikoto's clan.
Boros planned to bring Saitama and his disciple.
Ruiko didn't need one, as she was coming alone. She had no intention of telling Misaka Mikoto and the others about the group's affairsher world was just too dangerous. Ais was also planning to bring Loki along.
After distributing all the bracelets, Takumi made an announcement in the group.
Takumi: [Eight o'clock tonight, see you all there.] [I'm off to prepare some food and drinks now.]
With that, Takumi closed the group chat, then set off with Zhongli to make preparations. Meanwhile, Asuna and the others began to gather at Takumi's villa. Once Takumi got back, he could just expand the villa.
Takumi took Zhongli back to the world of Toriko. Zhongli went out to gather ingredients, while Takumi went to IGO to find some fine wine. Surely Ichiryu would have plenty of treasures in his collection? So Takumi shamelessly went to ask Ichiryu for some.
Ichiryu didn't refuse Takumi's request and generously brought out a large amount of fine wine from the IGO warehouse. There was all kinds of ithe moved out more than half the stock, which was extremely generous. Takumi happily accepted everything, then exchanged a few pleasantries with Ichiryu before heading off to gather gourmet ingredients.
Considering many ordinary people would be attending, Takumi chose ingredients that weren't too high-level. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle it without gourmet cellsit could even harm them. Besides that, Takumi also called Komatsu over to help with the preparations for tonight's food.
After a flurry of activity, Takumi finally returned to his own world, Zhongli right behind him. When everything was ready and Takumi returned to the villa, some people had already arrived. Kaguya was the first to show up, bringing Eirin with her. Mei and her group had also arrived.
Now, Takumi's villa was packed with girls. Seeing Takumi return, Kaguya immediately complained, "You really need to expand your house. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold the meetup tonight!"
With more people, the space seemed to shrink. Hearing this, Takumi nodded, then snapped his fingers. Instantly, the place where everyone was standing underwent a complete transformation. The villa's garden expanded several dozen times, and even the villa itself grew. In addition, Takumi created a whole series of landscaped gardens.
Seeing this, Eirin and Reisen, who had come along, were shocked. What a terrifying person. Yagokoro Eirin looked at Takumi, her face deadly serious. But soon she let it gohe was a close friend of the princess, and their relationship was quite good, so there was nothing to worry about.
Once everything was ready, Takumi said to everyone, "You all enjoy yourselves for now. I'm taking Komatsu to the kitchen."
With that, he led the confused Komatsu to the kitchen area and put him in charge. A number of robots also helped with the preparations. Once all was settled, Takumi returned outside to mingle with everyone.
Before long, Suoh Mikoto arrived, along with Boros. Boros's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"An alien?" Kiana was shocked to see Boros. Was there even an alien in Takumi's circle of friends?
"Idiot, didn't I already tell you?" Mei rolled her eyes at Kiana.
"Huh? Mei, you told me?" Kiana blinked, looking at Bronya. Had she? Had she?
Bronya ignored her completely. Xilin looked on with disdain. "Hmph! Single-celled organism! Foolish little sister. Can't even remember that?"
Chapter 194: Elysia Having a Party Without Me?
Xilin's comment immediately infuriated Kiana. The two sisters started arguing right away, leaving Bronya utterly speechless. As the big sister, she felt completely exhausted.
Boros saw this and could only sigh inwardly.
"At last, we finally meet, Takumiand Zhongli!"
Boros didn't overthink it and simply greeted Takumi and Zhongli. When his gaze landed on Zhongli, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Boros could sense how powerful Zhongli was nowhe'd strengthened himself twice already! His power was nothing to scoff at, and Boros was eager to challenge Zhongli to a fight.
"If you want to fight, wait until later."
"Let's let everyone out first."
"You too, Suoh. Just release your clan members."
Takumi shot an exasperated look at Boros, who was already itching for battle. "If you want a fight, at least wait until after the party. We're in the middle of a gathering."
At Takumi's words, Boros calmed down. Suoh Mikoto nodded as well and released a few of his people. He hadn't brought everyone this timejust Anna and a few members. Boros also only brought Saitama and Genos with him.
