This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 212: Approaching Knowledge? Or Business, Entertainment? (4k)_2



The nightingale took a deep breath and said, "The Great Library, more than eighty percent of its books are free!"

Free books?!

Everyone took a deep breath in unison.

These books... are all free?!

"Impossible!" The farmer was shocked once again, "Then this Great Library would be emptied by greedy commoners the next day!"

"Sir, I think those 'commoners' you spoke of wouldn't treat a lord who genuinely cares for them in such a way." Old Ren couldn't help but rebuke, "Moreover, you are such a 'commoner'; why can't you have the self-respect, self-reliance, and self-love as depicted by Young Master Like?"

Old Ren's reprimand led others to express their dissatisfaction with the farmer.

"Yes, yes, Lord Lin Ke said that we support ourselves through labor; what's so lowly about that?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Labor is honorable; what's there to be ashamed of?"

The dark-skinned old farmer incited public anger.

The farmer squinted around, seemingly trying to remember everyone, but he no longer spoke.

The nightingale didn't pay attention to that farmer anymore, not even glancing at him, but continued to say, "Of course, the Great Library also has requirements, which is that you can only enter with an identity card from Great Wilderness City."

You can only read with an identity card?

Everyone showed a sense of realization, and a trace of pride rose in their hearts.

Having the identity of a Great Wilderness City resident… seems great?

"Here, I'd like to mention that to enter any special building, you need an identity card, so please keep your identity cards safe."

The nightingale made a small reminder and continued, "The books in the Great Library generally can only be read inside the library. It has many seats, an air-conditioning system, a lighting system, restrooms, and water dispensers, and if you want to borrow books, you need to register your identity card information."

"Ha ha, we can't understand the common language of Naseng, what, can you read the texts?" The farmer spoke again, with a look of disdain and contempt.

This led some people to fall silent.

They... indeed cannot understand the text!

"Regarding this matter, Count Linke anticipated it long ago." At this point, the nightingale's gaze towards the farmer was already somewhat displeased, "Everyone, note this area, this area is called the school."

The nightingale turned around and pointed out a building next to the residential area, "Hospital, school... these are the fundamental facilities of Great Wilderness City. For instance, the school, your children, and descendants can be sent there to study, which applies to anyone aged three to sixteen. I think you've seen it in the newspapers."

Everyone couldn't help but nod, although many didn't initially consider sending their "labor force" out for education, since that would reduce the number of people working in the fields.

However, the specialized person in the notice board explained and interpreted where they could work after reading, how much the salary would be, which made many change their perception.

"Here, Count Linke has opened adult classes, which are for those aged sixteen and above, already adults, completely free, where you can enroll in 'literacy classes', 'skills classes', and various adult classes to learn writing, technology, etc."

At this point, the nightingale paused, took the glass cup handed over by the nearby staff, drank two sips of warm water, and awaited the farmers' reactions.

Their sales office is not just selling houses; Count Linke also entrusted them with the responsibility to introduce Great Wilderness City to some extent; they are professionally trained!

Clearing her throat, the nightingale hid her exhaustion and refreshed her tone before speaking again, "The general content of the Great Library is like this; next is the contents of other areas!"

The arena is a recreational measure prepared for various citizens.

Lin Ke doesn't want a bunch of wusses to suddenly appear in his future city.

It's allowed for a few who are effeminate due to family or environment because effeminacy is merely an attitude. What's more important are qualities like responsibility and courage.

But he doesn't allow for a large environment or majority to end up eating peaches.

The arena will be the best place for men to ignite their courage and strength.

It's also a place for citizens to resolve personal grudges.

Here, one can sign contracts similar to life-and-death agreements for dueling, or engage in betting fights, ranking competitions, and various contests.

After all, in Great Wilderness City, activities like fighting or murdering are completely prohibited.

Although weapons aren't banned, once discovered committing evil, their Great Wilderness City identity card will be permanently revoked, and they will be held legally accountable.

If fled, it would result in the whole Naseng and all Heavens Star Realm being in pursuit.

Although saying the whole Naseng and all Heavens Star Realm pursuing is somewhat laughable, anyone aware of Count Linke's relationship with the Princess of Tree Shepherdess knows what that implies.

The Insomnia Emperor is formidable enough to capture dimensions and use them as rewards for his vassals.

So, most people wouldn't break this law, for they were once the ones usually killed as the lower strata of society.

It's the minor lords, declined nobles, and such who feel restrained.

"Wonderland, I think everyone knows it well."

The nightingale chuckled.

Nowadays, Wonderland has opened in no less than twenty locations.

Set up within and surrounding the Azanen Domain and cities under nearby lords' lands.

Concerts, theatrical performances, comedy sketches, and other performing activities in Wonderland are highly popular.

Prices are divided into noble prices and commoner prices, distinguished in terms of boxes, services, and locations. Many farmers have also visited Wonderland.

Almost everyone here has seen it, like Yale and Sophie being faithful fans at concerts.

As for the last major mall, compared to various eateries and commercial streets in the city center, it mainly caters to high-end consumption.

Services, food, clothing, furniture, weapons...

Wonderland and the large mall are the only two places open to the outside world in Great Wilderness City.

In the mall, Count Linke would invite reputable businesses from Gula Kingdom to open stores here.

For example, the Mountain Duke has a Dwarf Duchy as a subsidiary force, where the weapons are famous throughout Naseng.

For instance, Count Akel's pet shop, Count Qing Si's silk, etc.

Moreover...

There are many new inventions by Count Linke!

Various types of Azanen brand perfumes, Azanen brand clocks, Azanen brand ceramics, Azanen brand glass, Azanen brand paper...

Anything produced and manufactured by Azanen can be bought, wholesale here!

This place will become the future hub of business and trade!

At the sales office, after listening to the nightingale's introduction, everyone fell into a long silence and contemplation.

"If you've decided where to buy a house, you can let the staff take you to the second floor to register and pay, and the loan personnel from Great Wilderness Bank also set up a loan office on the second floor."

After the nightingale finished introducing, she quietly waited for the crowd to think.

So, where to live... Yale also began contemplating.

Although it's all within one ring, the north, south, east, and west are different, and whether the ring is inward or outward is also different.

The price will have certain differences, not particularly large, but more differences lie in area coverage.

But the choice of location is still very important.

Near the Great Library, the arena, Wonderland, or the large mall?

Honestly, these have fundamental differences.

Want daily convenience for reading books? Or want to go to the arena daily for ranking battles, aiming to become the King of the Arena of the year?

Or perhaps go to Wonderland after work to see comedy or performances? Or go shopping at the mall, or simply engage in trade activities to earn money?

"I think, with our family's craftsmanship, we might be near the People's Square, where I can sell some small wares to earn money," Yale's mother said hesitantly.

Others also whispered with their own about location discussions.

"I say, why not near Wonderland; our family can often go to see plays, they are pretty good." Yale's father had a different opinion.

However, both eventually looked towards Yale.

Since Yale won a prize in a chess competition for the first time, he has become the pillar of the family.

The prize money from the chess competition is more than what his parents earn in a year of labor.

Not to mention afterward when Yale gained favor from Young Master Linke.

Thus, the decision of where to buy a house would ultimately be made by Yale.

Yale actually had made his decision long ago.

"The Great Library, we will choose a house near the Great Library."
