The first floor lobby of the sales office.
Everyone was watching the virtual image of Great Wilderness City overhead, stunned by those orderly blocks called "districts".
Orderly, symtrical, this is a beauty of order.
Diverse, varied, this is a beauty of chaos.
Chaos within order.
"...Our Great Wilderness City is divided into many areas. When you receive your ID, soone will introduce them to you... Oh, and IDs are delivered directly to your residence in Great Wilderness City."
The nightingale lightly waved her hand, and the virtual model of Great Wilderness City overhead projected onto the wall, forming a three-dinsional light image.
Then the central position of this virtual image lit up, and the nightingale introduced, "This is the center of Great Wilderness City, the intersection of People’s Avenue and Azanen Avenue. Here will be the only magic tower in all of Azanen, and the only radio tower in all of Naseng!"
The virtual image of the magic tower at the very center suddenly enlarged. This tower was unlike any magic tower they had imagined; instead, it was full of the "office building" style of Great Wilderness City.
The Great Wilderness Tower!
It signifies radiating throughout the Great Wilderness City and the entire Molten Lava Swamp Wilderness with the Great Wilderness Tower!
"Below the Great Wilderness Tower is our People’s Square, where everyone can take a stroll or play chess after als. There is also a shopping mall nearby, where you can buy clothing, food, furniture, weapons, and other things."
"This is also called the first circle of Great Wilderness City. Look, doesn’t it resemble a surrounding square?"
"Outside the first circle, the second circle is our residential area where you will all be living in the future."
"Next is the office area, where everyone will have a job to support themselves, whether farming or working as a shop assistant. Of course, the main staff in the office area are people like us."
The nightingale spoke as the areas inside the second and third circles of Great Wilderness City lit up in green, with each building distinct and detailed.
Then the nightingale smiled and added a sentence:
"Of course, inside the first circle, there is also an office location, which is the Great Wilderness Tower. If you have the corresponding qualification, I think you can work with Count Lin Ke in the Great Wilderness Tower, conducting research and experints together."
Working with Lin Ke!
Everyone looked at each other, feeling greatly tempted by this job.
Unfortunately, not everyone can enter the Great Wilderness Tower; it requires corresponding qualifications, or rather, talent or strength.
Most people here only know farming and herding.
"Next is the industrial area. Future paper mills, water plants, and many civilian factories will recruit workers externally. It’s said that if you continuously beco a labor model for three years, you have the chance to be enlightened..."
Enlightennt costs around two thousand Azanen coins, but you can receive enlightennt personally from the legendary powerhouse Lord Ove, which is still a rare opportunity.
"After that is the farming and pasture area. The land ownership here belongs to Count Lin Ke, but like houses, it can be contracted out for one hundred years. Note that anything you produce on the farmland belongs to you. Of course, production is not taxed, but if you want to sell the grains, you need to pay taxes."
Many farrs feel uneasy when they can’t farm, and this area is specifically for those who cannot adapt to a non-farming life temporarily.
However...
"Completely belong to us?!" An old farr with sun-darkened skin let out an incredulous scream, as if he was a young girl being stripped naked.
"Yes, this law was recently issued and will be published in next month’s Great Wilderness Monthly and Citizen Newspaper... In fact, Lord Lin Ke calls it a consumption tax, but producing grains is the only thing exempt from tax. At other tis, if your Azanen coin inco exceeds a certain limit, you will be taxed. Of course, deductions are automatic."
"But, aren’t we peas... aren’t we commoners, don’t all belong to the lord?" The farr who scread earlier frowned and asked.
"I think these gentlen should read the newspaper more. This is Azanen, without other ’lords’. We only have Count Lin Ke." The nightingale answered with a smile.
Yale and his companions also looked quizzically at the farr, thinking that anyone deciding to live in Great Wilderness City, even if they hadn’t read the newspaper, should have at least heard it read aloud at the notice board?
The nightingale didn’t continue speaking but instead smiled sweetly, "Alright, these tax laws will have special governnt officials from the city hall to explain door-to-door and distribute the ’Citizen Handbook’. Now, let’s look at the next area~"
She waved her hand lightly, and the next area with its four parts lit up.
The sun-darkened farr looked deeply at Great Wilderness City and didn’t ask questions further.
"These four areas are located at the four corners of Great Wilderness City: the arena, the Great Library, the wondrous land, and the big market!"
The four extrely distinctive buildings on the outskirts of Great Wilderness City were enlarged and displayed in front of everyone.
The nightingale’s expression beca serious, no longer as casual as before, but filled with respect in her tone: "First, let’s talk about the Great Library. It is the greatest, most benevolent, and most courageous building I’ve seen! Great Lord Lin Ke, praise him!"
"The Great Library will contain various books, all of them! As long as Count Lin Ke can collect them, they will be included here. But if you think this is nothing noteworthy, I believe many noble masters have more books than Young Master Lin Ke."
