"You will beco a force that cannot be ignored in this world," Viscount Lancelot said to Zhou Bai after regaining his composure.
Zhou Bai, listening to such high praise from Viscount Lancelot, was montarily stunned.
In fact, they still had not figured out why they had co to this world, and what had beco of their original world after their arrival here?
She vaguely felt that Blue Star was experiencing an apocalypse, especially since the globally implented Doomsday ga system wasn’t just for show.
And perhaps this world was experiencing it too.
The ergence of the Doomsday ga system might have been a rescue for Blue Star.
And their arrival in this world was also the Doomsday ga system’s rescue for this world.
The reason for such thoughts was that since arriving in this world, although they had faced various crises and their lives were severely threatened, each person who survived had grown and acquired unexpected abilities.
For them personally, it felt more like an evolution.
Could it be that by granting them such significant benefits, the system hoped they would bring so change to this world?
Zhou Bai’s thoughts beca more and more scattered.
"What’s the matter, do you think I said sothing wrong?" Viscount Lancelot asked, noticing that Zhou Bai seed to be pondering sothing and frowning as if troubled after hearing his words.
"No, I just rembered sothing else," Zhou Bai shook his head.
Regarding the existence of the Doomsday ga system, she could only take things one step at a ti.
After all, the longer they spent in this world, the more likely they were to uncover the secrets hidden behind it.
Viscount Lancelot, hearing this, did not delve deeper.
After all, every territory had its own secrets.
Subsequently, Viscount Lancelot’s attention returned to the visitors from Hope Village.
Although the place was crowded with people, many were queuing next to the station signs at the station, waiting for the Beast Cart. As soon as it arrived, they would board in an orderly manner.
Of course, there were a few who tried to jump the queue, but they were quickly pointed out and pushed out of the line, and these few had no significant impact on the overall order.
These people were Zhou Bai’s kinfolk, and it was evident from here that the place they previously lived was also highly regulated.
It really piqued one’s curiosity!
"Are Beast Carts common in your place?" Viscount Lancelot asked, having already initiated the conversation, not minding learning more about their original world from Zhou Bai.
Out of curiosity.
"Yes, but we don’t use magical beasts, rather we use another kind of power source. We don’t just have carts but also planes, which are like your Flying Magical Beasts. It takes just a short ti to reach a city thousands of miles away, but it’s not a living entity; it’s a manufactured one," explained Zhou Bai.
The uniqueness of Hope Village and the Blue Star Territory was undeniable in the land of the Stan Continent, and as they rose to prominence, more and more eyes would be on them.
Rather than keeping it hidden, it was better to reveal it sooner, allowing others to understand them and their origin in the Blue Star Territory.
In the future, when they did sothing out of the ordinary, it would be understandable, given the cultural differences!
"What kind of power? Is it similar to raw stones?" Viscount Lancelot asked, sowhat surprised.
"Sort of! Raw stones are energy, and our power is also an energy source that is harvested and then converted through certain ans," Zhou Bai replied simply. The subject involved was too vast to easily explain in just a few words.
"As long as you have energy, can your planes and cars be reused?"
"Yes."
"Could you manufacture them? If so, they would likely be very popular," Viscount Lancelot speculated.
Compared to the food Zhou Bai had just ntioned, these innovations were far more significant, rely a drop in the ocean.
"It’s not that easy. Both cars and planes are extrely sophisticated. They involve too much content, and unless handled by highly specialized personnel, it might be possible to sketch their blueprints. But even then, replicating the blueprints one-to-one is very difficult due to the complexity of the components. Special machines are often needed, which involves yet another discipline. The entire investnt is a bottomless pit, and even once created, they might not be as useful as magical beasts," Zhou Bai explained.
In short, the input and output were not proportional.
Therefore, even though many things in Blue Star were more advanced than here, it didn’t necessarily an that Blue Star’s products were better.
Magic’s existence, in so respects, really was far more advanced than technology.
"I see." Viscount Lancelot listened and began to understand Zhou Bai’s aning, then sighed, "Just listening to your brief description, I can tell that your original world must have been quite special, quite different from ours. I’d like to experience more of it soday."
Listening, Zhou Bai replied directly, "Although we cannot copy everything, our territory still has quite a few things that we are learning from the original knowledge and have already put into use."
"Like your schools?" Viscount Lancelot imdiately followed up.
"Yes, in our original world, children typically start school at the age of three, three to six years old is kindergarten, actually just a transitional phase before formal schooling, six to twelve years old is elentary school, twelve to eighteen years old is high school, eighteen years is adulthood, then they take the most important exam of their lives to enter university, this exam will stream different students onto different life paths, four years of university, after graduation everyone enters different job positions based on the subjects they studied, of course, so people choose to further their studies, continue learning more knowledge... In our world, life offers many choices, school is a necessary stage in our lives, and also the most carefree ti," Zhou Bai detailed about the schools.
Viscount Lancelot listened, fully moved by the world Zhou Bai depicted.
Could there really be a place that achieved this?
Yes!
Zhou Bai’s Hope Village was not already doing it? No wonder those people, upon returning, praised the school incessantly and were not at all flustered like newcors, making the school’s existence even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"So, village chief, you also went to university?"
"Yes, I studied for over a decade," Zhou Bai replied.
"No wonder, village chief, you are so impressive, you must have been quite remarkable after graduation, performing incredibly well in your job," Viscount Lancelot praised without hesitation.
No wonder he felt Zhou Bai was different, having studied for over a decade, her cultural depth must be quite substantial, no wonder she could take on the developnt of a territory in such a short ti.
Zhou Bai: "...I just graduated this year and haven’t had the chance to look for a job. I was originally planning to be a landlady, but then I ended up here."
"What is a landlady?"
"It’s not a profession, but a term, cough cough, representing soone with a lot of private property. My family owns several buildings, and they are in the downtown area. Renting out each room brings in a stable rental inco every month, enough to live without worries for my entire life, the kind where you can just slack off," Zhou Bai’s tone beca sowhat excited as she spoke of her past, this was her ultimate life dream! And it was one that had been realized, only to be tragically altered.
"You are also quite impressive, being so young and already having created several buildings’ worth of family business," Viscount Lancelot continued to praise.
"The family business was not created by ; it was passed down from my ancestors, then flourished under my father’s hands, then given to after I graduated..." Zhou Bai directly said, "But my father has other successful businesses, and these buildings are nothing much in his hands. As for , I’m just living off my parents."
How great it would be if she could continue living off her parents now!
Listening to Zhou Bai’s explanation, Viscount Lancelot couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
Such a father, could he get one too? He wasn’t greedy; just one would do.
But in this mont, Viscount Lancelot sowhat understood why Zhou Bai beca the Hope Village Chief—it was her wealth!
"Village chief, you also co from a learned family!" Viscount Lancelot laughed, thinking that Zhou Bai, in their world, would also be considered wealthy!
"I am now continuing to strive toward my previous goals," Zhou Bai briefly described.
In fact, she is now the biggest landlady in Hope Village!
Just like before.
The only difference is, now as a landlady, she can’t slack off, she must work extrely hard.
"You’ll definitely make it, when Hope Village develops, you’ll rise to great heights," Viscount Lancelot said, still quite hopeful for Zhou Bai’s increasing status in Hope Village.
Having connections makes things easier!
"Uh-huh," Zhou Bai nodded.
"Then let’s go check out the school right now!" Viscount Lancelot imdiately added.
After the promotion, Hope Village naturally changed a lot, all of which Viscount Lancelot could clearly see, but the school was special, especially after hearing about their original learning journey from Zhou Bai, he grew even more curious.
Ten years, what can one learn?
"Okay."
Subsequently, the two headed towards the school, and along the way, Viscount Lancelot continued to deeply inquire about Zhou Bai’s original world in a questioning manner.
Even uncovering just the tip of the iceberg was enough for Viscount Lancelot to envision a magical nation in his mind.
It was also in this mont that Viscount Lancelot understood why a special territory like Hope Village was developed.
For the future of Hope Village, he had even greater confidence!
