Lin Ke had just arrived at the Great Wilderness through the teleportation array when Magnalos sensed it.
Then, a few key personnel ca to the eting room to wait for him.
...
"Huh? You guys..."
Lin Ke looked at the few people in front of him, montarily stunned: "Where are the others? Are only you left?"
Then he realized he misspoke: "I an, where are your superiors?"
In front of him now were a few interns from the municipal hall of Great Wilderness City.
Yes, interns.
Lin Ke was sure these people were not on the staff list from when he left before.
He rembered that he could recall the na of every soldier back then, let alone now.
As long as they were officially employed in Great Wilderness City, he could call out each person's na.
And these few people in front of him, he clearly rembered seeing their nas on an enrollnt list from so year at Great Wilderness University.
They were fresh graduates!
"Y-yes, Lord Lin Ke!"
The two graduates in front of him, one male and one female, both from the Human Race of the Black and White Kingdom, were wearing suits.
They still had traces of youthfulness on their faces, clearly having just stepped into society not long ago.
Upon eting Lin Ke, their faces turned red with embarrassnt, wanting to look at him but feeling too shy to do so.
"The others..." Lin Ke was unable to sit still: "They've all gone out? So busy?"
"Yes, Lord Lin Ke," the male graduate spoke, trying to contain his excitent: "Most managers from various forces have been dispatched by the union, especially under our Magma Territory."
Lin Ke pondered for a mont and then nodded slightly: "Seems like there is indeed a lot going on... And what about Great Wilderness University? I rember you two are Evan and Li i, right? What about your classmates and seniors?"
He recalled their nas.
"You rember our nas?" Li i was shocked, and Evan was so excited he nearly fainted.
As a man, eting his spiritual idol and belief and being called by na was truly exhilarating.
Compared to Evan, Li i was calr; she was just a fan of Lin Ke's looks.
Evan looked as if he was about to pass out.
"Most of them are already out for internships," Li i answered, "Nowadays places like Faser, Shellda, Behemoth, and Naga planes all require our assistance in managent. Fortunately, Faser has fewer issues and has integrated well with the union."
Lin Ke nodded slightly: "So everyone has gone out..."
He was used to being with his followers, and now that none were around, it felt quite peculiar.
"Currently, only Miss Athena is still in Great Wilderness City!" Evan restrained his excitent, speaking in a breathless tone: "She... She brought your two disciples to participate in a gladiator tournant!"
"Athena?"
Lin Ke was taken aback, then rembered that Athena eventually learned his identity, and the two disciples from Kaos should be the sa: "Where are they now?"
"In the Kaos Region," Li i glanced at Evan, who nearly passed out again from speaking, and with a look of disdain, explained to Lin Ke: "It's about a thirteen-hour trip by high-speed rail."
"Is the high-speed rail fully operational now?"
Lin Ke was taken aback again, recalling his previous planning and design for the high-speed rail.
This interplanar continental shelf integration plan was not his idea but ca from Great Wilderness University.
Upon this foundation, Naseng's union ticulously built and simulated it to finally form the final plan and execution docunt.
Within it, transportation was a major issue.
Aside from coastal areas and rivers, almost all ground transportation relied on land transport.
The most cost-effective land transport currently was the high-speed rail.
High-speed railway!
Running on tracks could save a trendous amount of energy costs.
And among all the energy in Naseng, electric power and mana were nearly inexhaustible.
Thus, most high-speed rails operated through these two sources.
As for fossil fuels like petroleum, the environntal pollution was too severe, so it was not developed.
With mana as an alternative, Lin Ke didn't have anyone extract it.
Of course, unlike the previous world, due to the existence of mana, high-speed rail speeds have further breakthroughs.
Theoretically, it could reach 800 km/h, but due to limitations in materials science, Lin Ke didn't know the exact achievable speed.
If not for the high costs, so even suggested using magnetic levitation, like in Final Illusion City.
However, that was also problematic with the high costs.
The Pan-Naseng Continent was too vast—ford by the combination of countless sub-planes with the three main planes into a ga-continent.
The amount of iron used in all the railways could probably form another Earth.
Thus, resource-rich sub-planes beca highly sought after.
"Four main lines of the high-speed rail are operational."
As Lin Ke was questioning, a familiar voice appeared.
"Watson, you found ti to co back?"
Lin Ke smiled.
The newcor was indeed Watson!
At this mont, Watson wore a thick cotton coat, his face still fresh as ever, with golden hair and fair skin, resembling a handso young man of seventeen or eighteen.
Of course, excluding his deep-set eyes.
"Young Master!" Watson's voice held a trace of age, yet the joy within could not be hidden: "I went to handle racial conflicts to the north; a conflict between Frost Giants from a sub-plane and Snowfield Giants from the Eternal Freeze Court almost turned into a brawl."
Lin Ke nodded: "Glad you're back. How are things?"
Watson imdiately sat down and began to report one by one: "The situation is alright, just that we lack manpower..."
Plane integration always brought various conflicts, and without third-party managent, this fusion could turn into water and fire clashing, do-or-die.
However, with third-party diation—especially a third party with overwhelming power—these conflicts would turn into the growing pains before integration.
Once the pain was over, it would naturally beco a harmonious blend.
Just like Faser.
The entire Faser beca one, and since it had early contact with Naseng and because Lin Ke had not occupied Faser in a manner of conquest and invasion, Faser had little psychological resistance.
However, most sub-planes were not as accommodating as Faser.
Thus, the experienced managers of Great Wilderness City beca the best candidates to handle such affairs.
Back during Faser's integration, all Lin Ke's closest followers were present, and even the Knight Order mbers, through constant exposure, could roughly imitate Lin Ke's thods.
"...So, the Great Wilderness Knight Order is now basically entirely dispersed, dispatched as managers of various regions big and small, assisting locals in handling affairs."
Watson laughed: "Great Wilderness City has never been this empty before."
"But, these are all seeds!"
Lin Ke also felt slightly relieved.
If not for the hard work put into cultivating these people back then, the Pan-Naseng Continent would likely be in chaos now.
A single Blue Planet could have hundreds of religions and countries, let alone the Pan-Naseng Continent?
Fortunately, after so many years of cultivation, the seeds of Great Wilderness City had matured.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for these seeds to take root and blossom across the vast Naseng Continent.
Lin Ke eagerly anticipated that day to co.
