1675 New mission!
With his mission complete, Landon wished to celebrate and drink till he passed out.
F***!
What a close call!
Don't look at him who has been easygoing all this while and think he wasn't sweating.
After today, he just had another 24 hours to sign the treaty or else it would be game over for him.
Luckily, they did it today, and the great thing was that he wasn't even the one who wanted to rush things over.
Damn!
(:TwT:)
As a grown man, he must not cry.
(Sniff. Sniff)
Time to go home, but first, he had to check his current missions, as well as his latest.
Of course, in the tech area, launching aircraft and opening the amusement park was all that was left.
No...
If he was right on the money, the indoor amusement park should be open sometime next week.
The amusement park wouldn't have extremely high roller coasters yet.
Of course, there would be various themed carousels, like the ones in Mary Poppins.
Bumper cars are also a must. Some will be named after beloved Baymardians kids shows like Initial D, Formula one and Speed Racer.
Again, the famous Teacup style attractions will also be available.
One sits in a teacup that spins and moves in an opposite direction from the other nearby teacups.
Haunted houses, houses of mirrors, log river rides, tilt-a-whirls, and many others would be available indoors.
The system gave him designs for both indoor and outdoor Amusement parks.
The indoor one will be launched next week, and the outdoor one was meant to be opened in the summer.
.
All in all, everything was going according to plan in the technology area.
His main concern came from his babysitting plans.
Next year, Tilda will be turning 16. He had just a handful of years to aid her build her own faction of supporters and take over Dafaren.
What's more, she also had to train and aid little Ren in taking over the Empire of Abian in the future.
Luckily, Ren was still a little kid and had a long way to go before he could head to Morgany, rescue his mother and fight to rule the empire.
Landon wiped his invisible sweat, thanking his lucky stars that he didn't have to complete Ren's mission anytime soon.
No way!
They weren't ready for Morgany just yet.
Soon, yes. But not now.
Landon felt his tasks were becoming more and more heavy on his shoulders.
But just when he felt the relief of having one done, the system seemed to sense his mood, plunging him back to hell.
Ding!
[Host, you have a new side mission.]
'Tell me something new.'
Landon rolled his eyes heavenward at his annoying slave-running system.
A part of him had known this was coming.
[Side-Mission: Visit the mysterious and hidden continent of Kilangia. Get first contact with them and sign a treaty with 1st Prince Raymond of the Lotus Empire.
Deadline: 11 months.
Punishment: Death.]
'(-_-)'
'System, why can the punishments for my side missions also be death? Are you sure you're not just bullying me?'
[Nonsense, host. This system is the fairest and most honest you can find. The host should be warned that if he doesn't head over before the deadline passes, Prince Raymond will die of illness... one Baymard can cure. I'm sure the host knows what that means for you.]
Know? Of course, he knows!
Should the chosen child of the heavens die, he might follow behind that person. And who knows... maybe another body snatcher will take over his position as Landon Barn, enjoying his wife, his mother, his family, his people and all his hard work.
No way!
He would be insane to let that happen.
Even if he had to die, it had to be in his old age after enjoying the life he built for himself.
.
Sigh...
Landon shook his head, focusing on the task at hand.
How odd... there seems to be a small but mysterious continent that not even the Morgs knew of.
Strangely enough, it was close to Zohl, Romain, Lampe and Dania (2nd Lampe).
It was at the center of the massive oceans that each continent faced.
But if one can recall, its location seems to be the place worth the dangerous waters, where thousands and thousands of whales mate.
What's more the waters have been proven to be impenetrable by ship.
Once a person gets too close to that area, their ships will be destroyed.
But from the system's words, it seems humans loved inside, in a small continent of their own, probably having never gone out to see the world.
From time to time, things in the outside world will wash up ashore on the continent. Sometimes even bodies that have swelled up beyond belief.
This was probably how the people inside there knew other humans existed outside their little world.
But how to get out? No one could ever seem to know.
They have been trapped there since the beginning of time.
But as they say, when the heavens close one door, they open another up.
Unlike the rest of the world, they had the fewest number of ancient creatures in their continent from the start.
Thus, humans quickly eradicated the giant beasts and took over the lands.
It's just that in terms of civilization, they were still so far back, especially after reading that it was only 350 years ago that they discovered bronze.
Are you kidding him? Bronze in the outside world was long discovered and used frequently for over a thousand years now.
Well, at least they knew how to build ships, though it was only for traveling around their continent since any step further and their ships would get destroyed.
It is also because of a lack of information and lack of trade resources that they really didn't advance much.
What?
Do you think every empire in the world could advance without the help of overs?
The main reason why human growth was strong was primarily because of merchants and those who go to outside places and return with things and knowledge never seen before.
Once an invention is known, people flock like birds to understand it.
Do you think all technology you see on the streets, be it a butcher's knife, a unique building, or even a barrel for storing rum, came from the people living in that empire?
No.
Humanity circulated their discoveries.
That's why no place can be an island on its own and expect to advance faster than the rest.
Morgany also understood this.
That's why they stole talents across the world and gave them education in Morgany.
Of course, while also brainwashing them into believing Morgany was heaven itself.
These talents create inventions in Morgany. However, though their names will be credited the majority of it will go to Morgany itself.
Even back on Earth, Landon recalled some documentaries of primitive people in modern times living in isolation.
If you do not mingle with others, no matter how smart you think your people are, they cannot 'invent' everything.
At least, these people here have tried to see the outside world but failed.
Again, Landon was shocked by how many skin tones the goddess of this world was obsessed with.
If Landon didn't know better he would say these people looked like Goblins, except they didn't have ugly faces or long teeth.
Their skin was green and their height was between that of ordinary people and the giants.
They were really strong too.
Landon had to say that out of all the many people he has seen in this world the people of this continent were the most endowed in terms of their bodies.
Their women had the smallest waists he had ever seen. The hip-to-waist proportion was just insanely perfect.
Their hair colors were either dark green, black, white or red.
Landon has never seen another good-looking group of people than them.
Whether the women were slim, big, or average in weight, their bellies couldn't grow bigger.
Even the men weren't easy either, having physical advantages others would dream of.
Tsk.
Landon had to say that in terms of overall appeal and beauty, they would take first place in all of Hertfilia.
.
Alright.
Landon reviewed his mission, knowing that it was because of their trapped situation, they couldn't even get help if sick.
'If I'm going to save him, it must be after the military aircrafts are modified and completed.'
Entering a new continent, they will need not 1, not 2, but 10... but over 200 helicopters, and smaller aircrafts like the Twin Turbo ones.
They needed to bring over military supplies as well as food and other items too.
Finding these people to sign a treaty with them might take longer. So he had to give it at least 4 months for them to warm up to him.
In the meantime, he had to start teaching their language to his people.
Sure enough, Oma will not be the only language taught.
Like so, Landon closed his eyes, seeing as the night was no longer young.
Finally, he could go home.
With a satisfied smile, he slowly entered Slumber town
But unbeknownst to him, some people couldn't sleep at all!
