Takumi glanced at some information in his hand.
Then he decided to go to Ningguang.
He hadn't been to Ningguang for a long time.
He didn't know how she was doing now.
He might as well go over and take a look while he was free.
With this idea in mind, Takumi flashed directly to the ruling center of the City of Hope.
At this time, the security here was very strict.
As soon as you got close to this area, your power would be suppressed.
In this area, you couldn't use any of your power.
Whether you came from space or somewhere else, when you approached, you would be exposed instantly.
This was something Ningguang specifically asked Prometheus to implement.
After all, not everyone here was a powerhouse.
There were even many ordinary people.
Development and economic growth didn't necessarily require strength.
On the contrary, some had unparalleled potential in those areas.
Protecting them was the top priority.
So Ningguang came up with this idea.
In this world, "ordinary people" referred to those who had power but weren't strong.
After all, in Takumi's 14th world, everyone had power.
Even a dog on the roadside could kill people in an ordinary world.
These protections were still very necessary.
Of course, this only applied to others.
Takumi would not be affected here.
He hadn't visited in a while.
So when he arrived and felt the constraints, Takumi was a bit surprised.
But after reading the data, he understood who made it.
"Not bad."
After praising it, Takumi walked inside.
Some guards saw Takumi pass easily through the barrier, but they didn't react.
If you didn't have the authority, you couldn't even enter the barrier, let alone get close.
These guards were stationed to stop intruders.
Takumi had the authority to pass, so no one questioned him.
He entered unimpeded.
Then Takumi saw the scene of people coming and going.
Compared to the deserted outside, it was quite lively here.
After all, information from countless worlds gathered here.
And people were needed to process it, hence the bustling scene.
This administrative center had long since become a small city.
You could slap an official from any department with a wave.
There were even shops here.
It was just like a small city.
Looking at the changes, Takumi couldn't help but marvel.
Presumably, this was all Ningguang's doing.
It looked really good.
Takumi walked further inside, admiring the surroundings.
After arriving at Ningguang's office building, Takumi took the elevator to her floor.
This entire building belonged to Ningguang.
At that moment, she was sitting in her chair, looking exhausted.
She was overwhelmed by her responsibilities.
Suddenly, her office door opened.
Ningguang looked up in confusion.
When she saw Takumi walking in, she was shocked.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Takumi, Ningguang was a bit baffled.
It was rare for him to visit her place.
"Just dropping by."
"Busy lately? Why do you look so tired?"
Seeing her worn-out expression, Takumi was confused.
Why was she so tired?
"What do you think?"
"Don't you see how chaotic the worlds are now?"
"Even though I've delegated much to others,
and Prometheus handles a lot,
with so many worlds,
even having just one issue in each means I'm buried in work."
Ningguang rolled her eyes.
She now truly regretted believing Takumi's lies.
With more worlds connected, her work multiplied.
Especially the newly connected ones.
They had countless unresolved issues that only she could handle.
One issue per world was enough to bury her. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Recently, she was sleeping only four hours a day.
She wanted to resign!
It was just too much.
Takumi heard her complaints and was momentarily speechless.
"Should I get a few more people to share your workload?"
Looking at her, Takumi sighed.
That seemed to be the only solution.
Hearing this, Ningguang's eyes lit up.
"Who are you thinking of?"
"Don't even think about Ganyu and the others.
They're already busy."
She didn't mind decentralizing,
as long as someone could ease her load.
"Jean is with you, right?
People from Teyvat are off-limits.
Have Esther and the others help.
Send some from the Iron Blood side too.
Also, those kids I brought back have grown up.
We can bring some of them in."
Takumi began assigning people.
Ningguang nodded in agreement.
"No problem!
Assign them as you like.
As long as they can help, I'm good.
There are too many worlds, and more coming.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
"If I can get more helpers, the better.
Otherwise, I'm going to collapse sooner or later."
Managing all this was just exhausting.
Dividing the power would be a great help.
Anyone willing to help was welcome.
She was ready to resign if things didn't improve.
"There's no other way."
"Once the dimensional world is fully linked,
more issues will follow."
These needed to be dealt with in advance.
Honestly, Prometheus had already taken on most of the work.
Yet, there was still so much left, Ningguang was overwhelmed.
Luckily, Takumi finally helped.
"Just talk to Prometheus about it."
"Have her assign suitable people."
"Any of the children I adopted can help if they're willing."
Takumi looked at her with amusement.
Why hadn't she told Prometheus already?
It was just one sentence.
That sentence earned him a big eye-roll from Ningguang.
