I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 976
Advertisement
Landon watched everything and secretly sighed from relief.
Even though Winnie received a few hits, she could still have everything under her control, as she continuously 'guided' the assassins.
Looking at the fight, he also assessed the potential of these assassins.
One should know that currently, Baymard received hundreds of spies and sometimes assassins who stream in and out daily.
Of course, Landon was always known of their presence, thanks to the system.
As for why he had overlooked their arrival, it was just a matter of convenience.
Like he said, hundreds of spies rolled in and out weekly.
So keeping tabs on everyone would mean that he would probably stare at the system's monitors all day.
That's why he developed the habit of checking everything by the end of the week only.
He typically only checked things out if a large number of spies or enemies arrived all at once.
Of course, this in itself was tricky.
The system basically detected spies, assassins or enemies by their wave fluctuations of emotions
Those carrying too much murderous intent, those who acted differently from the rest and so on... Everything was noticed, as nothing could be hidden from the system.
Now, it was up to Landon to check things out.
But because he was always busy as hell, he made a schedule for that.
It was impossible to do it every day.
Besides, he had much confidence in the Baymardians.
So they should and would be able to handle things without him.
If he kept babysitting them forever, then they wouldn't grow.
He had never gotten involved with these matters and allowed them to do their thing.
Just like the batch of assassins that came in when he was away, he didn't need to do or mention anything because the option guards had already dealt with them.

Soon, he would be leaving Baynard and starting his mission of travelling from Continent to continent.
So, where did he have the time to step into these matters constantly?
He decided to only step in if and only if a victim was moments away from losing their life.
Before that, he hoped that the soldiers, guards, police officers, firefighters and so on, could do their job regardless of what it was.
So unless necessary, he would never step in.
The last time he was involved with handling spies was sometime last year.
And now, the Baymardians didn't need his assistance anymore.
.
As for all Assassins and spies here, Landon truly felt bad for them.
Why?
Because since Baymard's existence, none had ever succeeded.
Baymard held a record for making assassins and spies who made their moves disappear into thin air.
One thing to note was that not all spies were bad per se.
Some came here to observe the market, estimate and come up with various methods on how to get things done in their own cities or towns, while others even kept tabs on books and whatnot.
Even some famous jesters came over from time to time to spy at Baymard's comedy act and take notes.
It depends on what the spy wanted to do.
Of course, even within this particularly harmless group of spies, some still got greedy and jealous as they tried to sabotage the Baymardians.
And over the years, they had been caught one by one.
As for the assassins... in all honesty, if the killers wanted a chance of victory, they needed to upgrade their tools and tech.
That's right!
Many of their problems couldn't be solved with ancient methods anymore.
Assassins here, we're used to climbing stone-like walls and buildings with tiny crevices here and there, allowing one to ascend as if rock climbing.

.
Here in Baymard, the surfaces of buildings and walls were never so smooth, making climbing easier.
Even homes made with wood were also irregular, as they didn't make their boards as flat as planks.
Back to the matter of stone walls, the assassins could climb up many floors and sneak through windows.
They could also climb building roofs and run from roof to roof if need be.
But over here, the structures and buildings made it near-impossible to do what they typically did.
How exactly were they supposed to climb very tall, smooth cement walls?
Of course, they could also latch a hook to the other end of a ripe and throw them up the wall, hoping it would catch on.
But that would only be possible if they were trying to get through a 2-story wall or building.
Anything higher, and they weren't sure they could throw to that height.
Another thing was the risk of the anchored hook getting noticed or seen.
Another thing that irritated them was glass buildings.
How exactly were they supposed to scale them?
They had no tools that could make them stick to the side of the glass while ascending.
They needed 'Mission Impossible' type of tools, where they would scale glass buildings at will.
In short, many times, their only option, once they got to Baymard, was to sneak in through the front of many buildings because to their knowledge, there was just no other way.
.
For them, the only thing that made them a little pleased was the fences around.
At least, those were available.
It was just that since no one had ever escaped Baymard's clutches, the incoming assassins and spies had no idea how the Baymardians actually captured the others.
Everything was a mystery, and no one even knew the depth of Baymard's security.
Additionally, their weapons got taken.
So now, they had to think hard about several creative ways to do their jobs.
That's why things were harder for them, as Baymard was now a nightmare place to many.
Fighting against tear gas, bullets, installable walls and buildings, electric fences, lack of accurate information, and many other things were just a few concerns out of the many.
In short, their usual ways of dealing with things wouldn't work here unless they upgraded their tech.
Plus, in all honesty, Landon would never let them succeed.
Maybe things would eventually happen when he was no longer in this world.
But until his death, he would keep his promise of making Baymard a complete haven for many.
Seeing that Winnie had handled everything smoothly, Landon closed his monitor in satisfaction.
With that, his mind drifted towards his main missions again.
Tomorrow, he'll start his plans.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
