Chapter 910: Inappropriateness of the Internet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Ling Hong saw how confident Grandpa Jia was, he recalled that Grandpa Jia was indeed a good rickshaw rider . Thus, he nodded and did not say anything else .
Shortly after, Grandpa Jia finished his fried rice . He raised his head and heaved a long sigh in satisfaction, “Hu—, it is an enjoyment to eat fried rice here . ”
“Ok, Little Ling, I’m leaving now,” Grandpa Jia stood up and took his leave .
“Goodbye, Grandfather Jia,” Ling Hong waved his hand and went back to his meal .
Grandpa Jia had arrived very early today . After he was done eating, there was still a long queue outside . All of them were waiting for their turn .
With the Queuing Committee around, nobody cut in line or something like that . Everyone was busy chatting with each other .
“Have you seen the Queuing Committee’s website?” asked a tall slender person . The people from the Queuing Committee maintaining order today were a tall slender man and a fatty .
After the previous year’s “night attack” incident and the four were assigned to maintain order at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant as punishment, they had never left .
Even after the period of their punishment had ended, they remained . Now, they were already veterans of the Queuing Committee . And like Tang Xi, they had transformed into faithful fans of Yuan Zhou . Of course, that was thanks to Jiang Changxi’s effort in brainwashing them .
“Yeah, I like that unit of measurement . It is understandable as none of those people are as good as Boss Yuan . It is already praise if they can get a rating of 0 . 1 Yuan,” said the fatty .
“I still find the banner of the website to be quite embarrassing,” said the tall slender man . He still cared about his sense of shame .
That was because right after the website was put up, a huge banner was placed there, with these words: This website is released by the Queuing Committee of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
“It’s not that bad, right? We need to claim it . That way, we can further improve our cohesiveness,” said the fatty . “We are the only Queuing Committee around anyway . ”

“Let’s not talk about that . Do you think Queen Jiang and the others will change the unit of measurement used? I thought a lot of people are criticizing that unit of measurement as an insult?” asked the tall slender man . “This is simply an act of attracting hatred to Boss Yuan . ”
“I disagree . I personally think that it is a perfectly acceptable unit of measurement,” said the fatty as he shook his head . “They should realize it themselves when their skills are worse than Boss Yuan’s . ”
“You are twisting it,” the tall slender man was speechless . “I can already see other restaurants joining up to challenge Boss Yuan happening . ”
The fatty was not convinced, “Don’t be so pessimistic . Many restaurants are still graceful enough to accept defeat . ”
“Forget it . I can’t be bothered to keep arguing with you,” said the tall slender man when he realized that the fatty was completely missing the point . True, many restaurants were graceful enough to accept defeat . Many of them could, in fact . But even the small number of them that could not accept defeat were already sufficient to cause big troubles .
Grandpa Jia happened to overhear them . But he did not say anything and treated it as some gossip .
Grandpa Jia had always enjoyed being a listener .
Grandpa Jia’s rickshaw was an enclosed rickshaw . With that, riding the rickshaw would not be cold and it was also safer than a naked rickshaw .
He spent about 10,000 RMB to buy this rickshaw . That was the money he had saved up previously . If it wasn’t for the fact that his legs did not allow him to use some manual rickshaw, he would probably buy a cheaper one .
Since the model he bought was an older version, there was no air conditioning within . To the left of the driver seat was a tiny electric fan . Naturally, this was the fan that could be used to alleviate the heat during summer .
Grandpa Jia parked his rickshaw at a concealed spot . That way, he could avoid paying to park in the parking lot . After all, the parking fee here wasn’t cheap .

And naturally, a spot that was concealed and free was rather far from the restaurant . Therefore, Grandpa Jia only reached his rickshaw after over 10 minutes of walking .
“Sharp at seven-thirty . Just nice,” Grandpa Jia checked the time and muttered .
Vroom . Vroom . The rickshaw moved as Grandpa Jia drove along steadily .
“The officials nowadays sure are bad at choosing the time for their meetings . Don’t they need to eat? That is completely unhealthy,” Grandpa Jia berated .
Indeed, the meeting was held from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm . That was truly an odd timing . Grandfather Ling had explained to him that since 5:00 pm was the cutoff time for office hours . Holding the meeting at that time would not intrude upon the official business hours .
In Grandpa Jia’s opinion, they should start the meeting before or after the meal . After all, nobody would be able to contribute anything productive in a meeting with empty stomachs .
The meeting this time was held in the meeting room at the city hall . This was not a major meeting, and thus, such a timing had been selected to hold it .
And even if it was just a minor meeting, those that should be present had all attended .
Slowly and leisurely, Grandpa Jia arrived at the parking lot beside the city hall . After deciding on a spot, Grandpa Jia waited there silently .
At first, nobody bothered him . But after 10 minutes, the security guard of the parking lot approached him .
Knock . Knock . The security guard had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking quite spirited in his uniform . He knocked on the window .
“Young man, I’m stopping for a short while waiting for someone . The moment he arrives, I’ll be leaving,” said Grandpa Jia politely .
“Grandpa, who are you waiting for here? Everyone here are government officials . Nobody will use your rickshaw . You won’t get any customers here . You can go to the commercial district up ahead . You stand more chance getting customers there,” the security guard said politely when he saw that the driver was an old man .
The city hall building was five floors high, and it looked not too ancient or too modern, giving off a solemn and respectful feeling . This wasn’t a particularly busy area with no stores at the surroundings . That was why the security guard had suggested Grandpa Jia to go to the commercial district .
“There’s no helping it . I promised to meet that person here . Can you allow me to wait here for a bit?” asked Grandpa Jia with a smile .
“Sure . But don’t wander around and don’t stay too long as well . Otherwise, it will be hard for me to answer my superiors,” said the security guard after thinking about it .
“Sure thing . Thank you, young man,” said Grandpa Jia as he thanked with a nod .
Then, the security guard moved on and continued his patrol .
Of course, this was not a location where parking was prohibited . But nobody dared to park here anyway . The security guard had merely reminded out of kindness since he believed nobody here would be taking a rickshaw .
Of course, that was no longer the case now since Grandfather Ling would be taking the rickshaw .
When Grandpa Jia reached, it was already eight . About five minutes after the security guard left, people started coming out of the city hall building .
They were all dressed in suits and as they walked, they chatted with each other . After about 10 people came out, Grandfather Ling appeared as well . He was also wearing a suit . The suit was deep blue in color, giving him a spirited look .
“Old Ling, do you have any other ideas on the environmental governance?” asked the person beside Grandfather Ling .
Before Grandfather Ling could reply, he saw the rickshaw waiting at the parking lot .
“We’ll talk about this next time . I need to leave now,” said Grandfather Ling as he headed towards Grandpa Jia .

Conquest of Avalon
Revenge. The Kingdom of Avalon swept across the Empire of the Fox a generation past, conquering the heartlands and leaving the broken remnants to stew in the island duchy of Guerron. This isn't a story of Good versus Evil, of kindly kings doing their best to lift all subjects, or of unvarnished heroes doing battle against evil. Instead, this story is about power: who has it, who wants it, and what people will do to obtain it. It is about the violence inherent in the imperial project and how even the most well-intentioned rulers and conquerors are, still, engaging in systemic violence against those conquered and defeated. Our three point-of-view characters are a peasant turned fire wizard, an excitable duelist with more enthusiasm than sense, and a scheming mage-priestess bent on reclaiming her family's birthright and waging war on the foreign oppressors who rule her home... no matter the cost in blood or treasure.
