《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 731: The Slot Machine Fever
Advertisement
Landon left the other government representatives behind and headed back to the Capital.
Since it will take quite some time for the wall to be built, as well as for electricity and all other resources to be incorporated in these new territories... they had to make these people comfortable.
That's why he decided to send over the first cooking cabinet-like griddles that were made way back.
It would allow them to cook indoors without worrying about the smoke filling up their homes.
Once they placed firewood into the equipment and began cooking, the built-in chimney would send the smoke out through their kitchen windows.
And even though these products would be sent to the stores, if the people wanted them in their homes... they needed to request for them to be sent to their residences.
Someone will send it over and explain the safety points on them.
After all, many of these people didn't know how to read yet.
So personally explaining it was a must.. lest they accidentally burnt themselves or their new wooden homes.
Many of them had already begun moving out of their mud-thatched homes and settling into the newly built wooden ones.
So now, they needed to be as comfortable as possible.
Again, only the stores needed beds, clothes, food and other goods too.
Everything out there will be things that are approved by Landon... at least until the great wall was built.
With that, Landon jumped on his bed and fell asleep.
Tomorrow, he had a long day ahead of him.
'zzzzzzzzzzzz!'
.
Time swept by in a blink of an eye.
The hues of the world bloomed anew, and daylight slowly covered the land.
The birds sang and flew across the air, flapping their wings in unison to the morning music.
The soft sounds of people and vehicles could be heard all around the busy Capital city.

There was a sense of serenity everywhere.
Landon freshened up, ate his breakfast and headed out.
Today, he would teach many about PinBall.
Just thinking about it made Landon smile stupidly.
Pinball was a classic game that many loved.
It catered to all age groups and was very simple but thrilling too.
How can Pac Man be the only game in an Arcade Centre?
That didn't make any sense at all.
That's why he decided to create new games that were unprogrammed and unpredictable.
Right now, Tim already had his hand full with PacMan.
So he decided to gather some people within Tim's industry and assign them to create these games.
For the arcade, he wanted pinball machines that had different themes and strategies.
Additionally, he also intended to create the famous claw-grabbing machines, kiddie ride machines, and several other machines too.
The arcade centre needed games for loves, fighters, passerbys, bored people and whatever other categories of people that existed.
Provided the games weren't programmable like Pacman and other video games, then they could they created faster... Since he didn't need to teach the workers any computer programming for them to make them.
.
Landon drove towards the lower region excitedly.
'Vrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!'
'Catchack!'
'Bam!'
He stepped out of his car, closed his door and headed towards one of the industry's buildings.
This building was one of the very few that were used for learning and research within the industry.
And standing outside the entrance, were Supervisor Harvey and Supervisor Mowi.
They had been waiting to receive his Landon.
"Good morning, your majesty!"
"Morning to you both.
So, is everyone there?"
"Yes your majesty.
We just finished roll call not too long ago." Harvey replied excitedly.
Both he and Mowi had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The moment Landon mentioned that they would be making new products, they had been thinking and coming up with all sorts of ideas about what it could be.
Just looking at the list of tools and materials, they knew that it was some sort of machine.
But what exactly did it do?
"Hmmm.... what about the materials, tools and equipment?"
"Everything is set up and ready, your majesty."
"Good!
Let's go."
With that, the trio stepped into the building.
.
Landon stepped into the massive room and looked at the bright faces before him.
There was a mixture of men and women in the group.
And all of them looked at him eagerly, while briefly bowing their heads and saluting him.
As a rule, during work... they weren't allowed to kneel or do anything over the top just to greet him.
If they knelt every time he went in and out of the room, wouldn't that be too much?
Greet him once and that was it.
Bruh!
Landon placed his books on his table and smiled.
It was time to get this show on the road.
"Today, we'll be creating something that will lead to a new disease called the slot machine fever.
This machine in itself is a game.
And it's called Pinball!"
--silence--
Pinball?
Everyone listened excitedly, as they wanted to know more about this new game.
"Do you think that it's a game involving needles and pins?"
"Hmmm
I think you're right!
Remember, his majesty said that it will give rise to some slot machine disease.
So maybe only the hospital needles and pins can cure it?"
"No!
You both are wrong.
The disease thing is only a metaphor.
So it's really a game."
"What?
How can it be a game?
Apart from outdoor games or exercises... Games can only be on boards and not on machines."
"He's right!
Things like chess and scrabble are games on boards.
So how can a game be on a machine?
That will just be too mind-blowing!"

.
Everyone whispered amongst themselves in confusion while Landon quietly took out his books from his bag.
Their hearts were beating loudly, as their eyes wide in amazement.
With so many theories coming up, they were all in Fantasy Land at this moment.
Their anxiety was very evident, as they kept wondering what this pinball thing was.
Was it really just a game?
Even Harvey and Mowi were also secretly talking about it too.
Landon chuckled as he heard some of their beliefs.
He wondered how the entire Baymard will feel when he launched the Arcade center.
Many from all age groups will show up just to play these new revolutionary games.
Essentially, people had to buy token coins if they wanted to play.
And once they sent these token coins to the slot on the game, it would be game on.
If they won, they'll get tickets from the machine and they can exchange these tickets for prices like teddy bears, toys, collectable cards, and whatnot.
Gamers play for fun, a chance to get a new experience, and competitions.
So the bonus of it all is them winning prices.
Additionally, there'll be a restaurant there for those who get too hungry.
More appropriate, it'll just be a snack bar.
Landon smiled as he thought more about it.
Meanwhile, everyone was still anxiously waiting for Landon to begin.
You're majesty, how long does it take for you to pace your books on the table?
Can you hurry up?

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
