Capítulo 66: Chapter 66: Modern Amenities and Old World Charm
The newly finished road connecting Mondstadt to the new city was a marvel of modern engineering, blending seamlessly into the landscape. It wasn't just a road—it was a symbol of progress, a pathway to the future that Satoshi was building. The new city itself was starting to take shape, with construction machines working tirelessly and workers bustling about with a renewed sense of purpose. The heavy machinery, which had been used extensively, made the process faster, but it also required a lot of attention and maintenance to keep running smoothly.
Satoshi stood at the edge of the construction site, looking out at the new city—still a skeleton, but growing stronger with each passing day. Workers moved efficiently, and the air was filled with the sounds of construction: the hum of machinery, the clinking of tools, and the chatter of the workers.
Paimon floated beside Satoshi, her eyes wide as she looked around. "Wow, Satoshi! The road has been finished for a while, and the city is really starting to come together! Paimon thinks it's going to be even more amazing once everything is completed."
Satoshi smiled, nodding. "Yeah, it feels good to see all the progress we've made. But there's still a lot to do. We need to make sure we have enough raw materials, and the machines need regular maintenance. Plus, the workers need to stay motivated."
Paimon puffed out her chest. "Leave it to Paimon! Paimon will keep everyone in high spirits!"
Suddenly, a notification rang in Satoshi's head—the familiar voice of the system speaking directly to him.
[New Mission: Establish Basic Amenities for the New City]
- Build a convenience store
- Set up a public water supply
- Create a small clinic for medical needs
[Reward: Advanced Construction Tools and Blueprint for a Solar-Powered Lamp Post]
Satoshi grinned. "Looks like we've got our next mission, Paimon. The system wants us to focus on building basic amenities for the new city. It's time to make this place truly livable."
Paimon looked intrigued. "A convenience store? Like the one you were about to go to before you came here? Paimon wants to see what it's like!"
Satoshi chuckled. "Yeah, exactly. A place where people can buy everyday items. It might seem small, but it's a big step towards making this city feel like home. Let's gather the workers and start planning."

The workers gathered in the central area, where Satoshi had set up a temporary command center. He pulled out a large map of the city and began marking the locations for the new amenities. The convenience store would be near the residential area, the clinic close by for easy access, and the water supply would be routed through the center of the city.
"Alright, everyone," Satoshi began, addressing the group. "Our next goal is to establish some basic amenities. We're going to build a convenience store, a public water supply system, and a small clinic. These are the first steps to making this place a livable city, not just a construction site."
Noelle stepped forward, her eyes shining with determination. "I'll help with the water supply. I have some ideas for how we can route the pipes efficiently, and I can work with the construction machines to dig the trenches."
Kaeya, leaning casually against a nearby beam, smirked. "I'll handle the logistics for the convenience store. After all, it's important to make sure we have a well-stocked supply of goods. People will want their snacks and drinks after a long day of work."
Amber raised her hand enthusiastically. "I can help with the clinic! I know a few things about first aid, and I think I could help set up a basic medical station until we get a proper healer involved."
Satoshi nodded, grateful for everyone's willingness to help. "Perfect. Let's get started. We need to make sure we have everything we need, so we'll also need to use the system to buy some raw materials. Remember, though, it costs Mora, so we have to be careful with our budget."
Paimon floated over to the group, waving her arms for attention. "Alright, everyone! Let's make this new city a place where people can actually live, not just work! Paimon thinks this is going to be fun!"

The first task was to set up the public water supply. Noelle, along with several workers and a few of the construction machines, began digging trenches for the pipes. Sucrose and Albedo also joined in, offering their alchemical knowledge to help purify the water and ensure it was safe for use.
Sucrose, always shy but focused, held up a vial of a glowing blue substance. "This compound should help keep the water clean and prevent any contamination. I can apply it as we lay down the pipes."
Noelle smiled. "That sounds perfect, Sucrose. With your help, we'll make sure everyone has access to clean, safe water."
Meanwhile, Kaeya and a few workers were busy planning the convenience store. Kaeya, ever the charming negotiator, had already managed to convince several merchants from Mondstadt to supply some basic goods once the store was up and running. He was drawing up a list of items they would need—everything from food and drinks to basic household supplies.
"We need to make sure we have a little bit of everything," Kaeya said, tapping the list with his pen. "People will need food, but they'll also want things like soap, candles, and maybe even some entertainment items. After all, a happy worker is a productive worker."
Paimon hovered over his shoulder, nodding eagerly. "Paimon agrees! And don't forget the snacks! We need lots of snacks!"
Kaeya chuckled. "Of course, Paimon. I wouldn't dare forget the snacks."

Over by the clinic site, Amber was busy setting up a temporary medical station. She had gathered supplies from the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, including bandages, herbal remedies, and even a few simple potions provided by Lisa. Amber worked alongside a few volunteers, setting up cots and organizing the medical supplies.
"This might not be a full hospital," Amber said, her voice cheerful, "but it'll do for now. If anyone gets hurt, we'll be ready to take care of them."
Lumine, who had arrived to help, nodded in agreement. "It's a great start, Amber. And once the city grows, we can expand it into a proper medical center."
Amber beamed. "Exactly! We just need to make sure everyone stays safe until then."
---
As the day went on, the new city began to transform. The convenience store's frame was put up, the trenches for the water pipes were dug and filled, and the clinic was nearly ready to receive its first patients. The workers moved with purpose, and despite the challenges, there was an air of excitement.
The construction machines, which had been heavily used, began to show signs of strain, but Albedo and Sucrose were ready with maintenance plans. Sucrose had developed an alchemical lubricant to keep the gears running smoothly, while Albedo had designed a cooling system to prevent the engines from overheating.
Satoshi watched as everyone worked together, a sense of pride welling up in his chest. This city was becoming a reality, little by little, and it was all thanks to the efforts of everyone involved.
Paimon floated over to Satoshi, her eyes shining. "Look, Satoshi! The convenience store is almost ready! Paimon can't wait to see what they're going to sell!"
Satoshi laughed. "Yeah, it's exciting, isn't it? It's the little things like this that make a place feel like home."
Paimon nodded vigorously. "Exactly! And once we have a place to buy snacks, Paimon will be even happier!"
Satoshi shook his head, smiling. "You and your snacks, Paimon. But you're right—this is an important step. We're not just building buildings; we're building a community."

As the sun began to set, the workers gathered in the central plaza to take a break. The day had been long, but the progress they had made was evident. The convenience store stood tall, its shelves waiting to be stocked. The clinic was ready for use, and the water supply system was in place, with the first trickle of clean water flowing through the pipes.
Kaeya raised a glass of juice, his voice carrying over the crowd. "To the new city! It's not just about the buildings, but about the life we're bringing here. Let's keep working hard and make this place the best it can be!"
Cheers erupted from the workers, their faces beaming with pride. Satoshi looked around, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. This was only the beginning, but it was a good one. The city was starting to take on a life of its own, and with each new addition, it felt more and more like the home he had envisioned.
"To our city," Satoshi said quietly, raising his own glass. "And to the future we're building together."
