After the six artifacts were distributed, everyone dispersed and went back to do their own thing.
Takumi didn't take any time off either. He went to the core of Dimension City's protective barrier and began to fine-tune it.
The main purpose was to extend the barrier to the south to cover the location of the new guest house.
This small adjustment was very simple, and Takumi had it done in a short time.
Then, he went to the Dimensional Gate and prepared to use the system authority to move the gate to the new reception center.
After all, he couldn't guarantee what gender new visitors from other worlds would be. Since the new reception hall was already under construction, it would be a good idea to relocate the Dimensional Gate in advance to avoid embarrassment later.
The location of the new reception center was outside the existing building complex of Dimension City, that is, outside the wall, next to the original south city entrance.
However, now that area should be called the South Gate of the Inner City. The area to the south will be used for the construction of the Outer City in the future.
According to Takumi's expectation, the Outer City would expand in a fan shape from the south of the Inner City.
The reason for this choice was mainly because the land use in other directions had already been determined.
Demarcated by the central tree, it was divided into upper and lower parts. The east side below was the agricultural area, the west side near the river was the industrial area, and the south in the middle was the residential and commercial area.
Agricultural areas would be adjacent to residential areas.
Firstly, it facilitated agricultural production activities, and the cost of storage and transportation was also lower. It was also convenient to take care of, allowing residents to keep an eye on the situation in the fields at any time.
Secondly, it was beautiful. The large fields in every season would provide very good scenery.
Anyway, there was a barrier, so there was no need to worry about pests from the fields flying into the city. In this case, there was no harm in being closer.
Industrial areas, on the other hand, were not too close to residential areas but were very far away. Factories were basically concentrated along the river three or four kilometers away.
First, if the factory was too close to the residential area, it would affect the appearance.
Although there was basically no need to worry about pollution, noise, and smell problems thanks to magic, there were still visual and psychological effects.
Being far away was just enough to keep it out of sight and out of mind, which could better relieve people from work pressure and allow them to rest and enjoy life better.
Anyway, there was a teleportation array, so there was no need to consider the commuting distance.
Secondly, the closer the factory was to the river, the more convenient it was to obtain water, which was more conducive to industrial needs.
The above was the expansion policy for the lower half of Dimension City, and the upper half, the north, was also divided into three parts.
The northeast was the breeding area, and the northwest was the research area.
The former, as its name suggested, currently also had farms in the northeast.
The latter was Takumi's future plan. When the time came, he planned to put various laboratories in one place for easier management and to prevent experiments from affecting the residents of the city.
Because experimenting was a dangerous activity, Flora would always cause an explosion every now and then.
Although these explosions were not very powerful, no one could guarantee whether a big one would suddenly occur next time, so it was better to keep them away from densely populated areas.
The remaining middle part due north was Takumi's private land.
If he needed to expand his private residential area in the future, such as building a castle or palace, it would be built in this area due north.
Of course, before that, this area would also be Takumi's private garden, which could be regarded as half a backyard.
The above six areas, plus the aquaculture area of the reservoir and the existing Inner City, made a total of eight areas, which was Takumi's new vision for the future planning of Dimension City.
...
When Takumi moved the Dimensional Gate outside the South Gate of the Inner City, he saw Kotori acting as a contractor again, leading a dozen girls in construction work in full swing.
With the blessing of magic, in just one morning, the original snow was cleared, the foundation was laid, and all kinds of building materials were ready.
At this time, the construction team had even started the construction of the first floor.
"Hello, Lord City Lord." The girls also saw Takumi's arrival, stopped working one after another, and greeted Takumi warmly.
Takumi smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead, I'm just taking a look."
The girls heard his words and continued to work obediently.
Takumi went to Kotori and asked for the design drawing of the reception center to look at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he checked the construction progress and felt that it could be built in two days at most. Satisfied, he stopped paying attention.
Just as he was about to leave, a teleportation array suddenly appeared outside the barrier not far away. It expanded to a certain range and then light quickly rose. A group of people appeared from the teleportation array. The two leaders were Tia and Miniad, who had just gone out in the morning.
"Huh? How come it was teleported so far outside?"
Tia was a little surprised when she saw where she was.
But soon she stopped thinking about it because Takumi had already come to greet her.
"Tia, Miniad, you came back so quickly."
Takumi was a little surprised. He originally thought that Tia would be gone for a whole day like Lulucy, but he didn't expect her back in the morning.
Then he looked at the group of people behind Tia.
Well, it was a group.
In addition to three angel girls with similar appearances and golden eyes to Tia, there were other people, or rather, a group of humanoid creatures.
Covered in scales, with thick tails, looking a bit like the head of a Western dragon, they were almost exactly like a group of humanoid creatures copied and pasted.
But compared to the three clean girls, their condition was much worse. Their aura was a bit hollow, many people even had injuries on their bodies, their simple clothes were also damaged, and they looked like they were in distress.
"Husband, I'm back."
When Tia saw Takumi, she happily came up and took his arm. Then she turned to look at the three angels and the group of humanoid creatures and said, "They are my subordinates."
When the three angel girls saw this, they introduced themselves cooperatively.
The long-haired girl who looked relatively calm said, "Hello, sir, I am Gran Maria. This is the first time we meet. I hope you can give me some advice in the future."
Another more heroic girl with long hair parted in the middle said, "My name is Kuudel, please give me your advice."
The last girl with shoulder-length short hair and a relatively weak spirit said, "My name is Corone, please give me your advice."
When it came to the humanoid side, the largest one stood up.
He bowed respectfully before saying, "I am a representative of the Lizardmen; my name is Daga. I hope you can take us in as well."
When Takumi heard this, he looked at Tia, hoping she could explain.
After all, he had never said before that he wanted to recruit Lizardmen.
Although he didn't mind accepting these Lizardmen, this was too sudden, and even how to place them was a problem.
Seeing this, Tia said with some embarrassment, "Originally, I didn't plan to take them with me this time, but I just happened to meet Gran Maria and the others while they were..."
