On the second day after the news was broadcast, everyone was discussing Sky Island.
Someone actually ran to ask about Sky Island.
But instead of asking Takumi, they asked Nuwa.
They asked this seemingly omniscient Nuwa.
Nuwa is used in many places at the academy.
With Sky Island being so popular now, it was natural that many teachers were curious.
So they asked Nuwa about Sky Island.
Faced with this question, Nuwa directly passed it to Takumi.
Seeing the question Nuwa forwarded, Bai Ye was speechless.
"Tell them there's no need to study Sky Island."
"Sky Island is no longer in Teyvat."
"It exists in another dimension. That's not something they can research."
"Tell them to give up on the topic."
Takumi shook his head and directly instructed Nuwa.
After hearing Takumi's words, Nuwa immediately began replying.
Nuwa never questioned Takumi's orders.
She only executed them faithfully.
Instead of wasting time studying such things, it was better to focus on other matters.
Takumi had Nuwa tell the scholars directly.
There was no need to waste time on this.
It was simply not something they could study.
After receiving Nuwa's reply, many scholars were stunned.
At that moment, they were all gathered together waiting for Nuwa's answer.
In the end, they were told that studying this was meaningless?
Nuwa also explained the situation in detail.
After learning the real reason, many people felt disappointed.
Sky Island no longer had anything to do with Teyvat?
In other words, if they wanted to visit Sky Island, it was now something beyond a lifetime.
How could that not be depressing?
For a while, no one knew what to say.
It was truly a pity.
Takumi didn't know what those scholars were thinking.
Anyway, what needed to be said had already been said.
He couldn't be bothered with the rest.
At this moment, he was being led by keqing to Lingju Pass.
The current construction site at Lingju Pass was almost completed.
Some matters needed to be planned in advance.
For example, when to begin operations had to be prepared early.
In addition, security and related arrangements also needed attention.
Although hilichurls were eliminated as soon as they appeared,
it was inevitable that a few would slip through.
On the contrary, Abyss Mages were now rarely seen on the main roads.
No one knew where they had gone.
It was likely they had all been reassigned by that brother-in-law.
They had become rare creatures instead.
Takumi and keqing arranged the situation here,
and began planning the next steps.
After being busy here for a long time, the two of them ate something casually at noon,
then went to the Chasm.
At this time, most of the Chasm had already been constructed.
This was all Weiwei's masterpiece.
Although Takumi had provided the blueprints,
most of the actual construction was done by Weiwei.
Coming here again, after sensing the area, Takumi even discovered that Weiwei had created several passages in the Chasm.
Municipal waste could be directly disposed of through these passages.
It would fall straight into the deeper layers below.
A one-way disposal system.
Only entry, no exit.
Besides that, even the houses in Walnut were fully furnished.
Well, several others were furnished as well.
All of it cost money.
Weiwei earned all of it.
It was estimated that Weiwei would finish the remaining work here soon.
"It's amazing. It's almost finished in just a few days."
"What's the plan for this place next?"
"Will people start moving in?"
This was beyond keqing's expectations.
After all, in the original plan, construction here would have taken a long time.
Yet now, it was basically finished in just a few days.
And it barely cost anything.
The original plan was completely disrupted.
Originally, merchants were supposed to build first,
then Liyue officials would gradually send people over.
Slowly developing the area.
Some residents would also be relocated here.
But now, many things were far ahead of schedule.
"We'll arrange for people to move in."
"It can only be done this way."
What else could be done?
Naturally, arrangements would begin.
"How to arrange it is the real issue."
At this moment, keqing frowned.
This was indeed a problem.
Takumi looked at the Chasm and smiled.
"It's not a big issue. Since there are many houses, we'll sell them cheaper."
"Price is the most attractive factor, isn't it?"
"Plus, this place itself is very appealing."
"It's close to Sumeru, and there are several trade hubs nearby."
"It's a very good commercial area."
"Later, we can even build an airport here."
"Developing this place will be very easy."
"Although Qingxu Pool and Lingju Pass may be affected slightly, it doesn't matter."
"As long as development succeeds here."
"So attracting people won't be difficult."
"In fact, many people from Sumeru will likely be willing to move here."
"At that time, we just need to treat everyone equally."
"According to Nuwa's data, many people still haven't purchased houses."
"Relocating some residents won't be hard."
"The population of Liyue keeps increasing."
"Maybe not many will come at first."
"But there definitely will be in the future."
"It's not a big problem."
Although the plan was somewhat disrupted,
it wasn't a serious issue.
People could be relocated gradually.
Everything here was excellent.
Who would refuse such conditions?
With affordable housing, many people would be willing to move here.
Hearing this, keqing nodded.
"This seems to be the only way."
She wasn't only worried about the Chasm.
She was also concerned about Guyun Pavilion.
But after thinking it through, those worries faded.
Looking at Guili Plains now,
it was already overcrowded.
It wasn't just crowded; housing was insufficient.
As for Liyue Harbor, even after relocating many residents,
it was still extremely crowded.
Although some pressure was relieved,
many people still lacked proper housing.
Now that this area had been developed,
anyone with money would likely be interested.
It was an opportunity to generate revenue as well.
Moreover, transportation was much more convenient now.
"Transportation should also be considered."
"The Chasm is still quite far from Liyue Harbor."
"Relying solely on vehicles isn't enough."
Thinking of this, keqing voiced another concern.
With Teyvat expanding,
poor planning could cause future issues.
This was an important matter.
So she discussed it further with Takumi.
