The need for vehicles spans across all aspects of life. If Guizhong could create and sell them, she could make a significant amount of money. It could even kickstart an entire industry. Thinking this, Jiang Chen picked up a pen and paper and began writing. Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly start writing something, Paimon and Lumine grew curious. Ganyu, too, was puzzled. Why did you stop mid-conversation?
"I'm drafting a plan."
"I'll hand it over to Ningguang later."
"It's about the mechanical vehicle industry chain."
"This is an industry that could create many job opportunities."
"And it's worth investing heavily in."
Jiang Chen briefly explained before lowering his head to continue writing. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lumine's eyes lit up.
"The automobile industry chain, right?"
"Wow, are you planning to bring cars and stuff to Teyvat?"
"Are you also planning to introduce airplanes?"
Now that they were starting with cars—albeit a Teyvat-modified version—this was already heavy industry. Was Jiang Chen planning to introduce airplanes in the future?
"Not just airplanes. I'm also planning to create spaceships."
"The kind that can travel to other worlds."
As he wrote, Jiang Chen glanced at Lumine. Spaceships to other worlds?
"Huh?"
Lumine was stunned.
"You're planning to travel to other worlds?"
This surprised Lumine. Jiang Chen had never mentioned such ambitions before.
"Absolutely."
"If there's a chance to travel across worlds, I'll definitely try it."
"I can't just stay here forever, can I?"
Did Lumine really think he would spend his entire life in Teyvat? No way, absolutely not. If the opportunity arose, Jiang Chen would definitely leave. He might even take some people with him.
"To the Fate world?"
Lumine's eyes sparkled.
She looked at Jiang Chen with excitement. If it's the Fate world, please take me with you! I want to summon heroic spirits too! I want Saber! I want Scáthach! I want Illya! I want Rin with her legendary legs!
"I'm sorry to interrupt your thoughts."
"But you should keep those ideas in your dreams."
"Teyvat can't reach the Fate world."
"Because they're not in the same universe."
"Speaking of which, I'm curious. How did you and your brother travel across worlds?"
"Was it a spaceship, or some other method?"
As Jiang Chen wrote his plan, he asked Lumine this question. How did you arrive in Teyvat? By your own power?
Suddenly being asked this, Lumine was stunned.
"Huh?"
"How did I travel?"
Thinking about it gave her a headache. Her memories were hazy. Lumine frowned. If Jiang Chen hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have paid much attention to this. She knew she was an outsider, but how did she and her brother arrive here? For a moment, she fell into deep thought.
Paimon looked at Lumine, confused.
"If you can't remember, don't force it."
"Lumine!"
Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine thought for a few seconds before looking up at Jiang Chen.
"You'll have to ask my brother about that."
"So, I still need to find him."
"I really can't remember anything."
How they traveled across worlds was something she'd have to ask her brother. She truly couldn't recall.
Jiang Chen nodded, not too concerned. There would surely be a chance to figure it out later.
Lumine looked up at Jiang Chen, her curiosity piqued as she continued:
"What do you mean Teyvat can't reach the Fate world?"
"Can you elaborate?"
She was very interested in this. Did Jiang Chen know something? Had Jiang Chen's system told him something? That must be it. Lumine suddenly understood.
"Teyvat exists within a bubble universe under the Imaginary Tree."
"But the Fate world isn't within this Imaginary Tree."
"Even if we could leave the bubble universe, we still couldn't reach the dimension where the Fate world exists."
"Understand?"
After saying this, Jiang Chen glanced at Lumine.
"Bubble universe..."
"That name sounds familiar."
"But I still can't remember."
Lumine frowned. Many of her memories were missing. It was frustrating.
"After all, you and your brother might have come from another bubble universe."
"Then, when you tried to leave, you were stopped."
Jiang Chen casually mentioned this before continuing to write. Hearing this, Lumine fell silent again. Her last memory was being stopped by that white-haired god...
Remembering the appearance of that white-haired god, Lumine suddenly had a realization. She turned to look at Paimon!
"Holy crap!!"
Lumine exclaimed loudly.
Hearing Lumine's shout, Paimon jumped.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you shouting all of a sudden?"
"You scared me!!"
Paimon was very displeased. She had been startled by Lumine. Jiang Chen and Ganyu also looked over.
Lumine's gaze at Paimon grew increasingly suspicious.
"Jiang Chen, what should I do?"
"Paimon looks more and more like the god who stopped me and my brother back then."
"Not exactly the same, but about 70-80% similar."
"Except that one was an adult, and Paimon is a child."
Hearing Lumine say this, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange.
Wow, she finally suspects it?
"Maybe think about her name again?"
Hmm, Jiang Chen decided to add fuel to the fire. This was too amusing.
The person in question, Paimon, was utterly confused.
"What? What?"
"What do you mean I look like the god who stopped you?"
"How is that possible?"
"I'm not a god!!"
Paimon was speechless. The blame had come out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Lumine, reminded by Jiang Chen, was struck with realization.
"Paimon... Paimon... Paimon."
"The ninth-ranked demon god among the 72 Pillars of Solomon."
"Paimon is a demon god?"
Lumine tilted her head, looking at the bewildered Paimon. There were some similarities. However, Paimon was described as having a female face and a male form. But Paimon here was clearly female. Though, the gemstone crown did look similar.
"Coincidence?"
Lumine turned to Jiang Chen.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?"
Paimon looked at Lumine and Jiang Chen, completely lost.
Only Ganyu, who had been silent, looked at Paimon with a thoughtful expression.
Is this little one a demon god? Doesn't seem like it. She doesn't seem to have any power. One punch and she'd cry for a long time.
"Maybe."
"Could be a coincidence."
"Or maybe Paimon just doesn't remember anything?"
"Who knows?"
"Anyway, Paimon is pretty easy to bully now."
As Jiang Chen wrote, he chatted with Lumine. Hearing this, Lumine's mouth twitched. Jiang Chen always said half of what he knew and refused to elaborate. She felt like Jiang Chen knew something but just wouldn't say it.
Sighing, Lumine decided not to overthink it. She pulled Paimon over and began roughly pinching her cheeks.
"Similar, way too similar!!"
"Hahaha!!!"
The grudge from being sealed back then was now being taken out on Paimon.
At this moment, Paimon felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!!
