《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 1138: Treaty Signing
Advertisement
Landon stepped into the room with Lucia, only to see mother Beverly shedding hard stone tears while Uther was comforting her helplessly.
The other elders around were also helpless as well.
"Ooooo~~~... How could he kill himself? Doesn't he know how much she loves him?... Oooooooo~~."
Uther could only say: "There. There." From time to time while patting her back.
Lucia quickly told Landon the matter, making him stunned and speechless.
So, she was crying over the death of a movie character?
(-_-)
Well, the movie she watched was a reenactment of the modern film -Me before You-
The story initially talked about a wealthy young man who was always living on the edge and enjoying life... That is until he had an accident that left him in a wheelchair.
His parents tried everything to make him happy, but he was just going through grief.
And when they finally hired a caretaker, the 2 fell in love with themselves.
But in the end, the man still decided to pull the plug on his life.
Not only did he not want her to live with such a man as himself, but he also didn't want to live on like this.
So he stopped medications and ended his life.
The entire movie was dramatic and very tear-jerking.
But the medications Landin did to the movie made it even more sorrowful.
He made the movie with medieval settings.
And in this era where cripples were disdained and even abused with rotten tomatoes and insults, not many people saw them as human.
The girl's love for him and their tribulations in medieval settings, made many feel ashamed of how they used to think of cripples.
The movie started changing the world, even if it was by a little.
Now, many who saw the film didn't look at disabled people with disdain and hate anymore.

At the same time, they tried their best not to look at them with too much pity and treat them as if nothing happened.
They thought the girl in the movie was brave and truly loved him.
But even at that, he still chose to kill himself and free her from the vicious eyes of the many medieval people treating her as a fool.
Uther and several others who watched the movie an hour ago, felt touched and sad.
If one watched that movie and didn't feel a store of emotions within them, then they were truly rotten inside.
Beverly wiped her years pitifully and looked at Landon a little carefully: "Why did you kill him off?"
"_"
Landon, who took his seat, almost fell over when he heard her sorrowful complaint.
Well. His name was in the credit scenes as the scriptwriter and one of the directors.
So for sure, it was his idea.
But how would he have known that people would glare at him for it?
Hey! He was just trying to tell a story and get the message across, alright?
Well, during these last few days, they had all gotten to know each other and were now very lax with one another.
The greatest thing that made him, Uther, Beverly and the elders open up to one another was technology.
That's right.
The moment he personally drove them around the city and also showed them the solar light bulbs and whatnot, they were so excited that they turned into children holding him and talking nonstop about it all.
So now, the barrier had been broken, and they were all friendly with one another.
Technology had always been what had broken the barrier between him and many people.
It was the same even in Baymard when he first started out.

Please! In the face of awesomeness, there were no titles... This was something he discovered.
.
Everyone sat along the table and talked a bit while Landon's secretary, Brian, calmly shared several documents to them... as well as placed bottles of water before pushing his glasses in and calmly standing behind Landon's side
(*□^□)
He looked at his watch for a while and stroked the triangle.
~Ding.
Everyone stopped chatting and became serious.
The meeting was on!
And right off the bat, they jumped into the Treaty matters, reading every clause, sentence and word there.
They did this for a bit and discussed topics they didn't understand well enough too.
When it came to trade, Uther nodded his head in agreement.
"It is a fact that trading with Baymard will be very beneficial to us... Especially if we can get items like mattresses, blankets, socks, coats and whatnot.
They are all very essential for us here who have extreme weather. So it's not a bad idea."
Everyone else in the room agreed too.
Before today, they had come to understand this import and export thing a little bit more.
And while they would be importing Baymardian goods, the Baymardians also wanted several of their goods too.
Yes. There were many seeds, grains, dried fruits like dates, special nuts called silver nuts, and countless other edible items that could only be found around these parts.
Additionally, there were some textile raw materials here that warrant in Pyno and some cute pets too.
Well, they also wanted to get some ores too.
In truth, Baymard itself had many official merchant suppliers around Pyno that supply Brass, Copper and a few other ores that weren't in their mines.
With their production rate of various items, these ores were used for making countless items all at once.
So, it was never enough to have just one supplier.
For each mineral ore unavailable in Baymard, there were at least 5 official suppliers for them, which were at times contracted by the other Pyno empires.
So while Baymard made money by selling its products out, the other empire made money by producing several raw materials for them.
Baymard couldn't possibly have all raw materials, be it for textiles and whatnot.
Luckily, with the new regions, they found that they also had several more mines filled with saltpetre and Iron ores.
Well, they still needed a lot of materials from out of Baymard.
That said, here in Zalipnia, Landon had seen sugarcanes, several medicinal and poisonous herbs that could be researched for treatments and so on.
There was a lot to trade with the people here.
Both sides were making money, which greatly pleased everyone.
And this also meant that with the need of many batches, more people would get steady jobs too.
So how could they not be happy?
Trade was a must!
But on a more important note, what was this Bay-Zalipnian transport thing?

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
