A mere 25 points—for his current point income, it was really nothing.
As for the Adepti Sigils, although he could make them himself, it would be better to let Shenhe do it, so she could feel involved. She'd probably be very happy.
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata thought for a moment and said, "If we can really solve these issues, building the school in the sky would be fantastic. At least, we wouldn't have to worry about enrollment."
After all, what child wouldn't want to study in such a cool school?
"What about this design…"
"I'll revise it right away!"
"Don't get too carried away."
"Got it."
"Oh, and I'm planning to invite Mr. Zhongli to be the school's vice principal."
"Huh? Didn't you say Ningguang would be the vice principal?"
"It's normal to have two vice principals."
"Then I want to be one too."
"You're too short to be a vice principal. Just be a senior student."
"!!! I'm not drawing anymore."
"Don't be like that."
"I want to be a vice principal."
"Head of Discipline."
"No! Why does Morax…"
"Fine, fine, you can be one too."
"I'm growing taller, cousin. You touch me all over every day. Haven't you noticed?"
"Don't say things that could be misunderstood."
"It's true."
"You have grown a bit. Your power recovery is too slow."
"A tree that's almost withered—if you fertilize and water it now, you can't expect it to flourish overnight."
"Mm, I thought about it tonight and decided to ask Miss Yanfei for help."
"For the new textbooks?"
"Yes, Liyue is the nation of contracts, and its foundation is law. Children should be exposed to legal knowledge from a young age to make it easier for them to live in this nation. Miss Yanfei is the best lawyer in all of Liyue. She's the most suitable person to write an introductory textbook."
"True… My suggestion is for Yanfei to include more legal stories in the book. Children love stories. Explaining laws and principles through stories would make it more engaging and easier for them to understand."
"The protagonist's name is Zhang San, right?"
"Yes! The Outlaw!"
"I know you too well!"
"How about it? How about it?"
"I think it's a good idea."
"Right?"
"When the school construction starts, I plan to have Mr. Zhongli oversee it. After all, he was invited by Ningguang to oversee the Jade Chamber's reconstruction last time. He's very experienced. As the vice principal, it's only natural for him to put in some effort for the school."
"Haha, great! Cousin, I know you too well!"
"Nonsense, you're the one who corrupted me."
"Whatever."
"Finish your design. Later, we'll go out to gather materials, and you'll stay here to draw."
"You just want to leave me behind!"
"This is for the sake of Liyue's century. As the school's vice principal, you should put more effort into the school's development."
"What about you? You're the principal!"
"I'm providing the funds."
"…"
"And the land."
"…"
"And the textbooks."
"…Alright, alright, go out and play. Don't bother me here."
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata waved her hand.
Xia Zhi picked up Shenhe, who was sitting on his lap. "Then we're off."
Shenhe nodded obediently. "Mm."
"Did you learn those pinyin characters?"
"A few are still unfamiliar."
"I'll teach you on the way."
"Okay."
The two of them disappeared.
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata glanced at the seat beside her, snorted lightly, and continued to think about the new design.
With three gods backing it, this would be Teyvat's number one elementary school, right?
The Jade Chamber?
While it's considered a marvel in the eyes of mortals, from a god's perspective, there's so much room for improvement.
She thought for a moment and wrote three words on the paper.
[Celestia].
That might be a bit too much.
She was a bit afraid of attracting the attention of the Heavenly Principles.
After a moment of thought, she erased the word and replaced it with other words.
[The City in the Sky].
"This is an elementary school, not a university? It can be expanded in the future. It'll eventually become Teyvat's number one school. Following cousin, there's always something fun to do."
When Xia Zhi and Shenhe returned to the Meditation Space after gathering mushrooms outside, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had finished the new design and handed it to Xia Zhi to review.
After looking it over, Xia Zhi felt it was quite good.
His cousin had talent, though she sometimes liked to go off the rails.
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata asked eagerly, "When will construction start?"
Xia Zhi replied, "After I gather the construction materials."
"When will that be done?"
"After I settle the earlier matters and discuss the textbooks with the other friends."
"Okay."
"Don't worry about the construction. I've already asked Miss Ningguang. When the Jade Chamber was being rebuilt, it was Yuheng Star Keqing who oversaw it. She's in charge of land and construction, so she's very experienced. I happened to interact with her during the Jade Chamber banquet, and she said she owes Shenhe a favor. No matter what, she'll do her best to help."
"That favor came at the right time."
"True. Back then, I thought it wouldn't be of much use, since with Miss Ningguang and Granny Ping's connections, there wasn't much in Liyue that would require Miss Keqing's help. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."
"Should we invite her over for a meal?"
"Mm, let's invite her separately. Tomorrow morning, I'll deliver the paper-making technology to Miss Ningguang and have her help invite Miss Keqing. Tomorrow noon, I'll invite Mr. Zhongli, Dr. Baizhu, and Miss Yanfei for lunch to discuss the textbooks. Then, in the evening, I'll invite Miss Keqing for dinner to talk about the matters."
"Alright."
