Chapter 731 - The Slot Machine Fever

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.

"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?
