Chapter 617 - Busiest Man Alive
While most forces seemed to be in turmoil, back in Baymard..... Landon had finally finished dishing out instructions on new products, as well as answering any questions pertaining to them.
As for the changes in Baymard, Landon didn't think or give them everything.
His main focus was to give them the most problematic ones... and from there, they could make the simpler ones.
Take for example the electric cooker.
When he had created years way back... 6 months after its creation, someone in the industry had an innovative idea as to make a single set electric burner.
And from there, many other kinds of burners and ideas popped up.
All he needed to do was create more complex things like planes, arcade games, amus.e.m.e.nt park rides and so on.
So that in this way, the people would invent their own products once they understand the underlying principles.
If he had to invent every little thing, then where would he have the time to travel out?
Once everything was settled in the Pyno continent, without a doubt, he would be visiting and fighting battles on other continents too.
So where the hell was he supposed to find time to invent every little thing?
His goal was to make the complex ones, and the citizens would focus on the rest.
Because even for things like computers, if the people understood the underlying principles behind them... Then they might even be able to create IPads without his help.
As for food, there were currently over a hundred brand new recipes that he had never created.
They were the work of Baymardians and international chefs here.
Hence he did not doubt that soon, other chocolate versions, drinks and new recipes would come out again.
After all, each company had a budget for innovative ideas.
And all ideas were voted upon before money and other resources were allocated for product research and development.
Even government work typically went on without him 95% of the time.
They only came to him when it involved some risky situations.
Of course they came over to report general death rates, birth rates and things like that since it was generally his place as a ruler to know, improve and be concerned about his people.
Again, he too was a busy man who taught doctors, engineering teachers, military martial arts teachers and so on.
Not to talk of the fact that he still had to fight for world peace and complete the system's tasks.
So how the hell would he have time to create the small things?
He was even impressed when he saw the first pressure cooker that was created by a Baymardian.
Granted, it wasn't as good as those from earth.
But it was a start that showed how innovative these people were.
So with that said, he would not bother himself with little matters for now.
He was just too busy
.
Landon slumped on his chair the moment he stepped onto his office.
"Brian, please request for my lunch earlier than usual.
Preferably now."
"Yes, your majesty."
With that, Landon dropped his office phone and rested his head on his table for a bit.
Dammit!
He was tired as hell!
He just got back from giving a 3 and a half-hour teaching session with the Computer & Software Engineer lectures.
There was no way about it, he had to prepare them for the next semester.
And from there, it would be their job to teach the students instead.
Of course he would continue teaching and guiding them too, but not as much as he did now.
This Spring might just be the busiest session of the year for him.
'System, pull up Alec Barn's tracker.'
'As you wish, host.'
With that, a large screen appeared before Landon's eyes showing a large red dot on it.
The screen looked more like a GPS location map.
Landon looked at the dot and confirmed that Alec and his gang were still in that very spot on the map.
They had been there for 5 days now.
And judging from he had heard from Alec's conversation with his men, they would be marching towards Baymard in a day or two.
Of course depending on how fast they were, they would use an additional 2~4 days to get here.
'Hmm... System, show me that of the spies.' Landon requested.
And immediately, the GPS map moved swiftly and showed 3 red dots on the screen.
Landon's eyes lit up when he saw that the spies were already in Baymard.
'They're back!
As for what spies he was talking about, of course they were his.
For sure, it would be unnatural if he just miraculously informed Lucius on the exact period when the attack would begin.
So 15 days before Alec had even arrived at his location, Landon had sent out 3 spies to keep an eye on the road.
Alec's hideout was about 3 cities and several villages away from Baymard.
But Landon had sent the spies 5 cities away to watch the roads there.
From Alec's plan, Landon knew that they would start trailing within the forest 4 cities away, so he had sent his spies when they were 5 cities away instead.
He had also told the spies about the fact that Alec's men would be travelling in batches.
So the moment they saw several hooded men pass through the roads at different time intervals, they instantly knew who they belonged to.
And the moment the last batch passed, they stayed a few extra days to confirm that no other groups would pass by before travelling back to Baymard hastily.
A war was coming!
Landon was also on the move as well.
Looking at the GPS trackers, Landon knew that the spies were currently making their way towards the barracks.
So he made no haste and hurriedly left his office too.
Brian who was just about to knock on Landon's office with a cart of food and was shocked.
"Your majesty, your food!"
"No time Brian."
"Then what do I do with it? And where are you going?"
"No time to talk, cancel all my appointments."
Brian stood there dumbfounded for a bit, before gritting his teeth and running towards Landon.
"But your majesty, you haven't answered my question.
As your secretary, I should know where you're going in case of emergencies."
"Hmm...hmmm...hmmmmm" Landon mumbled with a sandwich in his mouth.
[Brian: (*+_+)]
"The majesty, pardon me... But I didn't quite catch that."
"Brian, you're so young.... Yet you already had hearing problems?
I said to the barracks!"
"_"
.
'Vrrrrmmmmmm!'
'Bam!'
For sure, It didn't take too long before he arrived.
And not surprisingly, he and the spies entered Lucius' waiting room at the same time.
"Your majesty!"
"At ease.
Welcome back!
Go issue the code."
"Yes, your majesty."
With that, Landon sat down in one of the chairs within the waiting room.
