Chapter 1158 - New Job!
Like so, the battle within Terique had concluded, and peace had somewhat been restored.
The rains of Spring poured again day and night, either drizzling or raining hard again.
The Rain was determined to wash the snow away as much as it could.
And after the days of rain came a few days of dull sunny weather.
The air was still cold, and every place was so wet.
Puddles and puddles of mud could be seen all around the forest paths, and even the little footpath around too.
The mushy snow now turned brown and dirty around the corners of the roads.
And all around, one could still see people wearing colourful rain boots, moving around the busy streets.
Children also had fun around their homes as well.
Yes. The rains had resided, leaving only the cold atmosphere around.
But this wasn't a problem to many, especially those within the newly acquired Baymardian territories.
.
-Cinder Town, Empire of Baymard-
.
~Ting. Ting. Ting. Ting.~~
The sounds of cutlery clashing against each other sounded out within one of the newly built 2-story wooden homes.
"Tohji, eat slower. At the rate you're going, you'll end up choking instead."
"No way, mom! I can't afford to be late! You know how long I've been waiting for this part-time job. So I have to get there early enough for orientation!" Answered a young man who was munching on his food like a pig.
His mother only shook her head silly while his dad calmly read the newspapers while keeping a dictionary by his side.
This was one of the ways they could learn and understand things fast!
The entire town had been undergoing tremendous change since Baymard had taken it over.
Firstly, their previous tiny and crowded homes had been completely changed and remodelled.
Now, they lived in such a spacious 2-story wooden home with a bas_e_m_e_nt too.
And now, they also had a house number too.
They lived on Apple street, house 34.
They also had a sizable backyard as well.
And one thing to note was that ever since the Baymardians took over the place, they had been fixing the roads, making it similar to that in the Capital city.
But what was strange was that they would place several massive cylinders underneath the roads.
They didn't know what it was for and just thought it should be one of the things holding the roads up.
.
Yup!
The massive 'wall of Baymard' was still under construction and would take a long time to complete.
And in future, they would also build smaller plants around the various newly acquired regions that would work in unison with the one in the Capital City to supply utility to those in the new regions.
But this was all in the future.
For now, they were just laying several big pipes underneath the roads and also creating drains too that would send the rainwater and discharge them somewhere environmentally safe.
Of course, the pipes have bars placed at several intervals that could even collect shoes that fall into the drains or other items.
And 2~3 times weekly, it would be checked and cleaned.
Draining was essential because what destroys many of their homes in these times was also flooding and ground erosion.
At times, it might even rise to their bed levels.
But for the Baymardians, they started reorganizing the city layout, already seeing far into the future where homes would be and whatnot.
Thus, they started building the homes based on their newly designed Town plan and had people register their names for their homes too.
Yes. The changes come to Cinder Town, bringing in more job and learning opportunities to all
.
Tohji devoured his food while looking around his home that was now filled with solar devices.
He had just turned 14 not too long ago and had been a student for the past 7 months now.
He learned math, proper Pyron, started learning Roma, Chinese, Ethics, Biology about Matter, insects and cells... As well as leant some arts & craft, etc.
All the advanced stuff like chemistry and the rest were only taught at the Capital City.
For Tohji, he was already 14, and next year, he will be an a_d_u_l_t.
So, he only wanted to use this remaining time to learn, write, speak and calculate Roma, Pyron, math and the rest.
Because next year, he wanted to enter the Medical & Healthcare Academy.
After the field trip to the different industries all around the Capital city, he decided to be a licensed pharmacist.
And when he graduated next year, he wanted to be stationed here, within the newly built pharmacist center in town.
He liked it very much.
The entire Baymard, be it the old and new territories, were all developing.
So he felt like given time, his town would also transform as well.
After all, one shouldn't forget that the Capital city used to be just dry, barren land.
Given more time, their town would Blossom. So why not come back?
Of course, another reason for him staying was because he wanted to be part of the change too.
He wanted to witness the transformation with his very own eyes!
That's right.
Even till now, the change in their town was still shocking.
It wasn't even long ago when some people were living in twig and mud homes.
But that changed in a blink of an eye.
And look!
People started getting paid steadily, and the town was constantly making money too.
Not to talk of the fact that the town itself is one of the biggest breeders of lobsters.
So the lobster farmers signed with Baymard sold out in bulk for delicacies too.
They started seeing canned lobster goods sold from the Capital city to all regions around.
In short, business was booming, and development grew within the town
In future, he could tell his children about it all too.
Heheheh!
