[Kaveh: I hope I can be one of the Teyvat passengers envied by The Doctor, and meet Dr. Ratio at Herta Space Station or that 'Penacony'.]
[Grand Sage Azar: I will be the one to seize such an opportunity!]
[Venti: Don't speak in such absolutes; there are many people in Teyvat who want to get a ticket from Lord Takagi.]
[Zhongli: Penacony, will this be another travel destination?]
[Faruzan: Dr. Ratio cannot stay in one place forever. If it's not a specific time, even if we go to Herta Space Station, or that Penacony, we won't be able to see Dr. Ratio, right?]
[Kaveh: Lord Takagi is willing to bring Ms. Ruan Mei to Teyvat. I wonder if Lord Takagi could possibly bring Dr. Ratio to Teyvat.]
[Alhaitham: I don't know! Ultimately, even if Dr. Ratio is willing to share knowledge, is he truly willing to share knowledge unconditionally? And will we be able to understand the knowledge he shares?]
[Kaveh: In any case, it's better if Lord Takagi is willing to bring Dr. Ratio to Teyvat than if he isn't.]
"You don't need to be too envious, Doctor."
"Although Dr. Ratio is willing to share knowledge,"
"But the way he shares knowledge, the Teyvat passengers may not be able to handle it."
Takagi said.
If it was Dr. Ratio of the Intelligentsia Guild, Takagi felt that even he might not be willing to share knowledge with people like The Doctor and the Grand Sage. Even if he was willing to share, The Doctor, the Grand Sage, and others might not be able to handle it.
"Also, I won't just be taking Ms. Ruan Mei to Teyvat."
"Since I have opened the route from Teyvat to the Universe,"
"Naturally, I will also open the route from the Universe to Teyvat."
"In the future, I might occasionally bring a group of tourists from the Universe to the Teyvat Continent."
"For example, bringing some Belobog people to Mondstadt City or something."
"At that time, I hope you Teyvat people will do me a favor and not cause trouble for the Universe tourists."
Takagi turned around and specifically looked at Cloud Retainer's live broadcast camera. As he finished speaking, Cloud Retainer and other passengers, as well as the many Teyvat people watching through the live broadcast, were all surprised.
[Neuvillette: I see, Lord Takagi isn't just opening a route from the Universe to Teyvat for Ms. Ruan Mei.]
[Kaveh: So, it's possible that Dr. Ratio will come to Teyvat?]
[Lumine: That's true, but Takagi gave the mini teleportation coordinates to Ruan Mei. Sure enough, Ms. Ruan Mei is still special in Takagi's heart.]
[Aether: Are you that concerned about this? Have you really fallen for Takagi?]
[Lumine: Whether I like Takagi or not, what does it have to do with you, Aether?]
[Aether: Of course it does!]
[Lumine: Then tell me what it has to do with you.]
[Aether: This...]
[Paimon: This Aether, could it be that he has a crush on you, Lumine?]
[Lumine: Ugh! How disgusting!]
[Aether: ...]
[Lumine: But, can everyone from Belobog come to Teyvat now? So I can see Bronya, Hook, and them again.]
[Jean: Mondstadt will definitely properly host everyone from Belobog. Similarly, we also welcome tourists from outside Belobog brought by Lord Takagi.]
[Ningguang: Liyue is the same.]
[Grand Sage Azar: Sumeru will naturally show sincerity in hosting Universe tourists.]
[Arlecchino: Snezhnaya naturally welcomes Lord Takagi and the tourists brought by Lord Takagi.]
[Yae Miko: Every time this happens, I want to sigh for Inazuma.]
[Neuvillette: I think our Hydro Archon should be willing to host the passengers brought by Lord Takagi.]
[Furina: Cough cough, that's a given. Fontaine is not only a nation of justice but also a nation of hospitality. I believe the visitors from the Universe will also be moved by Fontaine's justice!]
After witnessing the various miracles brought by Takagi, Furina was almost certain that Takagi could solve the Fontaine prophecy. Now, she really wanted to meet Takagi. If Takagi was willing to bring Universe tourists to Fontaine, it would give her a chance to meet Takagi. Naturally, she wouldn't refuse such an opportunity.
It wasn't just Furina; almost all nations in Teyvat that had requests for Takagi would not refuse him. Except for Inazuma.
"Lord Takagi is joking."
"How could we possibly cause trouble for the Universe tourists?"
"It would be a blessing if the Universe tourists don't cause us trouble."
The Doctor smiled.
"That doesn't sound like something you would say."
"I thought you would be a bit more arrogant."
"Especially since you have already stepped onto the Path of Propagation."
Takagi turned his head and looked at The Doctor with interest.
"After witnessing the vastness of the Universe, I naturally cannot be arrogant anymore."
The Doctor said.
"Is that so? I hope you think that way deep down."
Takagi smiled and turned to look at the Abundance bonsai. After this period of conversation, Takagi discovered that where he had previously picked a fruit, a flower bud had already grown. And at this moment, the flower bud was blossoming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's quite fast. It seems it won't be long before new fruits grow."
Takagi said.
Originally, Takagi was worried that compressing the Abundance Miracle in front of him into an Abundance bonsai would affect its fruiting efficiency. But now, it seems he doesn't need to worry about these things. Although due to the size of the bonsai, it can only bear a small number of fruits at a time. But as long as the energy within the Abundance bonsai is sufficient, even if he picks one fruit, another fruit will quickly grow.
After hearing Takagi's words, The Doctor, Lisa, and others also turned their attention to the Abundance bonsai. Upon seeing the vibrant and enticing fruits, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Especially for The Doctor.
"Lord Takagi, may I ask something presumptuous?"
"Does this fruit truly possess the power to turn short-lived species into long-lived ones?"
The Doctor took a deep breath and bravely asked Takagi.
During the time Takagi and Ruan Mei were away, The Doctor had asked himself this question many times in his heart. Now that Takagi was standing here, he really couldn't help but want to ask Takagi.
Hearing The Doctor's question, Lisa, Nahida, and Cloud Retainer instantly pricked up their ears. Even La Signora, who wasn't very interested in the fruit, looked over.
[Charlotte: The Doctor actually asked!]
[Arlecchino: That's not surprising. After all, before Lord Takagi and Ms. Ruan Mei returned to the reception carriage, he had been staring at that fruit for a long time. He also saw Lord Takagi give a fruit to Ruan Mei earlier, so his curiosity about this fruit must have reached its limit.]
[Baizhu: Since it's a plant grown from the ear of wheat given by Yaoshi the Abundance to Lord Takagi, it should be able to grant long life to the consumer.]
[Albedo: If these fruits can really turn short-lived species into long-lived ones, judging by the speed at which that bonsai is flowering, it should be able to turn many people into long-lived species in a short time.]
[Tartaglia: That's true, but is it really possible for Lord Takagi to give others the chance to eat this fruit?]
[Navia: Why not? Didn't Ruan Mei get the fruit from Lord Takagi?]
[Tartaglia: Ruan Mei doesn't count. Her situation is a bit special, and she seemed to have gotten the fruit just for research. Perhaps Lord Takagi also had the idea of having Ruan Mei help with research.]
[Tartaglia: I mean, is it possible that Takagi might actually give the fruit to others to consume, especially to Teyvat people?]
[Arlecchino: I'm also very curious about that point. Speaking of which, Childe, it's quite surprising that you're willing to use your brain this time.]
[Tartaglia: I don't like hearing that, Arlecchino. But, I'm too lazy to bother with you.]
"Are you very concerned about whether this fruit can grant a person long life?"
Takagi asked The Doctor with a smile.
"I am."
The Doctor nodded honestly.
"Are you all as well?"
Takagi looked at La Signora, Nahida, Lisa, and Cloud Retainer. Hearing this, the women all nodded.
"Not only are you curious, I'm actually quite curious too."
Takagi said.
"Even Lord Takagi, you're not sure if the fruit on the bonsai can turn short-lived species into long-lived species?"
Lisa asked in surprise.
"There's nothing strange about that."
"After all, Yaoshi didn't tell me what effect the Abundance object It gave me has."
"But I'm thinking, what Yaoshi the Abundance gave me shouldn't be that simple."
"So, this fruit should possess the power to turn a person into a long-lived species, right?"
Takagi reached out, picked a fruit from the bonsai, and said.
Hearing Takagi's words, a glint flashed in the eyes of everyone present. Just as everyone wanted to ask something else, a scene that surprised them occurred. They saw Takagi bring the Abundance fruit in his hand to his mouth, open it, and take a bite.
Although he wasn't sure what benefits and drawbacks the Abundance fruit had, he was confident that he wouldn't be affected by the drawbacks of the Abundance fruit. Not to mention the authority of Trailblaze within him, just the power Yaoshi the Abundance gave him was enough to give him confidence in resisting the possible side effects from the fruit. Therefore, he naturally wasn't afraid to taste this fruit.
"Hmm, the taste seems pretty good."
Takagi licked his lips and said.
His words also brought Lisa and the others back from their surprise.
"Takagi, you're still not sure about the effect of this fruit, is it really okay to just eat it so casually?"
Lisa asked worriedly.
"That's right, Lord Takagi!"
La Signora also asked worriedly.
Although both of them felt that Takagi was a recovering Trailblaze Aeon, Takagi hadn't truly recovered yet, and the fruit before them came from another Aeon. Lisa, who held inexplicable feelings for Takagi, and La Signora, who wanted to repay Takagi's kindness, naturally felt worried.
"Don't worry, this fruit is just a delicious fruit to me, it won't have any effect on me."
Takagi waved his hand and said.
"Just... fruit?!"
La Signora's mouth fell open, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Just a delicious fruit? Then I'm relieved."
"So, have you sensed whether it possesses the power to turn short-lived species into long-lived species?"
Lisa said to Takagi with a smile while letting out a sigh of relief.
"No." Takagi shrugged and said:
"As I said before, this fruit has no effect on me."
"I myself have a long lifespan."
"Even if it has the power to turn short-lived species into long-lived species, I can't sense it."
"Oh right, why don't you try this fruit, Lisa?"
As he spoke, Takagi picked another Abundance fruit and handed it to Lisa.
[Tartaglia: I'm not seeing things, right? Takagi is actually planning to let this batch of passengers eat this fruit containing the power of Abundance?]
[Arlecchino: What a lucky woman. It's just that this Lisa didn't step forward to make a wish to Yaoshi the Abundance before, will she eat the fruit that might bring longevity this time?]
[Dori: Why not eat it if you can? Even if there are after-effects like Mara-Struck, wouldn't it be fine as long as you end yourself before Mara-Struck arrives?]
[Andrius: That being said, if Teyvat people become long-lived species like Xianzhou, what they'll face is probably not just Mara-Struck.]
[Mountain Shaper: As long-lived species of Teyvat, they also need to face erosion. The person who eats the fruit might not necessarily be able to end themselves before going mad.]
[Dvalin: I strongly agree! Perhaps just Mara-Struck alone is enough to make the person who ate the Abundance fruit unable to end themselves in time.]
As someone who had gone mad for a period due to the Durin's blood and the curse of the Abyss, Dvalin naturally had a fresh memory of that feeling of going mad. In that state, his entire head was filled with emotions like anger and revenge. If the person who ate the Abundance fruit also suddenly fell into such a state, no matter how firmly they believed they would end themselves before going mad, the thought of ending themselves might not be realized.
Just as Dvalin thought, Lisa also had the same concerns. Hearing Takagi's words, she smiled and shook her head, saying:
"Although I also want to have a long life like yours, Takagi,"
"But ah, I'm afraid of ailments like Mara-Struck."
"Since this fruit might turn short-lived species into long-lived species,"
"Then I think, it's better for me not to eat it for now."
"Sorry, Takagi, I have to refuse your kind offer."
In the forum, Lisa naturally also noticed the discussions of Dvalin and the others. She also couldn't be sure that after becoming a long-lived species, she could end herself at the right time to avoid falling into the path of Mara-Struck. Furthermore, she currently didn't have enough understanding of Abundance. Naturally, she couldn't convince herself to eat the fruit of Abundance. As for asking Takagi to help choose a suitable time to end her life, she couldn't bring herself to say such words.
[Grand Sage Azar: Since, she refused?! What is this woman thinking?! How can she refuse the possibility of gaining longevity?!]
[Kaeya: This is our Lady Lisa, she has a very firm will when facing temptation.]
[Zhongli: Such a decision can only be made by a few exceptional individuals.]
[Dehya: But this Lisa has feelings for Takagi, right? Doesn't she wish to gain longevity so that she can have more time to meet and spend time with Lord Takagi?]
[Candace: If she could gain a longer life, the probability of catching Lord Takagi would also be higher, right? Compared to choosing a short-lived species as his wife, Lord Takagi should be more inclined to choose a long-lived species, right?]
[Madame Ping: What an amazing young lady. To eliminate the possibility of going mad at the end of her life, she bravely chose to shut out the temptation.]
"Is that so? That's a shame, but I can understand."
Takagi nodded, then turned to look at La Signora, asking with interest:
"So, La Signora, why don't you try this fruit of Abundance?"
"See if it has the power to turn short-lived species into long-lived species?"
"Although the Tsaritsa's power has extended your lifespan,"
"But I think your remaining lifespan shouldn't be long either, right?"
"Do you want to bet on whether it possesses the power to extend your lifespan?"
Hearing this, La Signora immediately widened her eyes. Please, having obtained power from Lan the Hunt, she had no intention of obtaining power from Yaoshi the Abundance. She even worried that if she ate this Abundance fruit, she might be kicked off the Path of the Hunt by Lan. Even more so, Lan the Hunt might shoot an arrow directly in her direction, ending her life once and for all.
Thinking of this, La Signora's expression became extremely conflicted. Meanwhile, The Doctor on the side looked at La Signora with anxiety and jealousy.
