"Let's not, it sounds a bit scary."
Bennett immediately rejected Hu Tao, as this matter didn't sound like something a normal person would do.
"Oh, why are you so quick to refuse? Think about it a bit more, what if you change your mind?" Hu Tao persisted.
In Hu Tao's eyes, Bennett was simply the biggest of big clients; missing him would mean no second chance this good.
And so, Bennett was constantly pestered by Hu Tao, yet he couldn't find a way to escape.
Fortunately, Xavier's phone rang at this moment, finally giving Bennett a moment to breathe.
"Okay, I understand, I'll head over now."
Hearing Xavier on the phone, Hu Tao stopped trying to brainwash Bennett.
Instead, she ran up to Xavier and asked, "Xavier, what's going on now? Is there a new event?"
"It's good news. Let's go, I'll take you all to see."
Xavier smiled mysteriously, not revealing it directly, keeping them in suspense.
Everyone was indeed curious and followed Xavier to the main entrance of the villa area.
At this time, several employees in work uniforms approached Xavier and completed some handover procedures.
After signing, Xavier had two car keys in his hand.
"Xavier, did you buy a car?"
Furina was surprisingly smart for once, guessing that Xavier had bought a car.
"That's right."
Xavier pressed his car key, and then a brand-new luxury car parked by the roadside lit up.
"Wow, is this a car from Blue Star? It looks so impressive!"
Bennett walked up to the Bentley and stroked its hood.
This touch, this craftsmanship, was indeed something that couldn't be seen in Mondstadt.
"This car doesn't look like much," Hu Tao said, hands on her hips. "I saw them driving sports cars in videos; this one is too old-fashioned."
Xavier rolled his eyes and said, "Sports cars only have two seats. This one is an extended 6-seater."
"6 seats don't seem like very many," Venti said, stroking his chin and glancing around, noticing that there were quite a few people here.
If there was only this one car, it seemed like daily travel wouldn't be very convenient.
"From a universally rational perspective, 6 seats are indeed not many," Zhongli also shared this thought.
Xavier smiled, seemingly having anticipated their reaction.
"Do you all feel that way?"
Nahida speculated, "Xavier must have more than just this one car, right?"
"Exactly, and this car won't be crowded even if everyone rides together!"
Xavier took out another set of car keys, and after he pressed it, a pair of headlights flashed.
"What, this car is yours too!" Fischl looked at the car in front of her, her mouth wide open.
She hadn't paid much attention before, but now that she looked, this car was indeed excessively large.
"How about it, are you satisfied with this car?"
Everyone gathered around the car, feeling its unique texture.
"Xavier is so amazing! Klee likes this big car!"
Klee threw herself onto the tire, but she wasn't even as tall as the tire.
Bennett exclaimed with emotion, "Such a big car, no one would dare get close to it on the road, right?"
This car was not only big but could also seat many people.
The answer was obvious!
That's right, it was a bus!
Xavier felt like a genius for coming up with such a perfect solution.
Since ordinary cars couldn't take everyone out together, it was much more convenient to buy a bus.
He just needed to hire a driver, and everything would be perfectly solved.
Who could now distinguish between himself and Einstein?
"Xavier, quick, open the door, let us go inside and see!"
Furina was already a bit impatient, because even a technologically advanced nation like Fontaine didn't have a car like this.
Xavier had no idea how to operate a bus. After entering the driver's seat, it took him a long time to open the front and rear doors.
"Yay, Klee likes this car!"
Klee sat on the soft seat, practically bouncing.
"I didn't expect the interior space to be so large and spacious. Going out in this car must be very impressive."
Furina touched the seat cushion, thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Such a special vehicle probably couldn't be implemented in Inazuma, could it?"
Ei thought for a moment and concluded that it would be impossible to introduce it to Inazuma.
Putting aside other things, the roads alone wouldn't be compatible.
Zhongli, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said, "I once read a sentence in a newspaper that I now find quite insightful."
"Mr. Zhongli must have a unique insight. I am eager to hear it," Ei responded.
"Blue Star people believe that to get rich, one must first build roads."
"Eh-heh, that's indeed very true. Only by building good roads can trade be promoted, right?"
The drunken Venti also leaned in and interjected.
"Vehicles like buses and trucks require wider roads, but they greatly aid economic development. This is truly a brand-new idea."
Since Venti joined the discussion, how could Nahida be left out?
At first glance, there seemed to be no major issues with what these few people were discussing.
But upon closer inspection, all four of them were the gods of their respective nations!
So they were all thinking for their own nations, and perhaps through what they saw and heard on Blue Star, they could initiate reforms in their own countries.
"In my opinion, if the Liyue Seven Stars were to build roads and develop vehicles, it would surely make Liyue even more prosperous."
"Mm-hmm, I agree. Liyue and Mondstadt are neighbors, so why not have the roads of both nations built simultaneously? That should be more efficient, right?"
Before anything was even set in stone, Venti and Zhongli were already discussing building roads, and even planning to connect them.
Ei shook her head, because Inazuma was separated from other nations by the sea. Cars could only travel within the country, and ultimately, they would still have to go by sea.
Sumeru wasn't much better; there were too many mountain roads there, making both trucks and buses impractical.
While the gods were pondering for their homelands, Furina, the former Hydro Archon, was giggling foolishly.
"This car is truly amazing! Going out to play in this car will surely make people happier, right?"
"Hu Tao, what do you think?"
Hu Tao nodded and said, "Exactly! Sitting up so high and looking out into the distance, this Hall Master's mood has broadened considerably. I even feel like composing a poem!"
Xavier looked at Zhongli and the others chattering endlessly and was instantly speechless.
Are you having a bus meeting here?
"Go back, go back, it's almost time for dinner!"
Xavier waved his hand, interrupting their thoughts.
Today was the first time Venti and the other two had come over, so Xavier planned to show off his cooking skills.
The food hadn't even been served yet, and Bennett was already drooling.
Xiao Aimi, sitting next to him, said disdainfully, "Bennett, your manners are far too crude. How can you be so impolite when dining with this Princess!"
