Chapter 1425 A Strange World
The turbulence across the world was as rocky as it ever was.
But back in Baymard, many had their own joys, worries, sorrows, and thrills too.
And sitting in a small cart, similar to golf one, was a man a little over the age of 35, smiling merrily while proceeding on their way.
He was driving within the Coastal Region, from the public Coastal Port to another distant location across the district.
Ah yes!...
It was already the first week of June!
And as everyone knows, the third week of June was always the official beginning of Summer!
As of now, summer has yet to come. However, the Spring rains had lessened quite a lot, revealing the sun's hot rays.
During Spring, the sun would come up once in a while; its feel wasn't hot but cool and slightly warm.
Maybe it was the rains washing the leftover snowy residues, or perhaps it was just the coolness of the rains.
All in all, the heat was hardly coming from the sun's rays.
And now, with the area fully green, clear, and bright, an unknown was quick to engulf the land.
Before, they still wore sweaters while out and about.
But at the start of the week, the sudden sun showers were so great that many thought summer was already here.
The weather forecast estimated that it wouldn't rain till Wednesday next week.
Hahahahahahaha~
Sunny, sunny, sunny.
This was typically the best and most exciting time of the year!
"Good morning, Dock Manager Levi!"
"Hey, Manager Levi! Were you able to fix that tooth injury of yours? Honestly, how can a full-grown man like yourself still try to crack so many Iron nuts with your teeth?"
"Hahahahha~... Manager Levi, good seeing you, man! How's the family?"
(^_^)
....
One by one, many saluted Manager Levi while also doing their various tasks.
Some were transporting crates of goods using the heavy drivable machines, while others were tasked with cleaning the open harbor.
In short, there were too many takes that many did all around him.
In general, many who haven't spent time in the region might be confused by the many terminologies here.
The Docks are the landings in a harbor where ships are loaded and unloaded or repaired.
In short, it is the built sections along the coastlines that stretch further into the ocean where the ships and other water vessels are parked or stored.
But the harbor is the open and restricted space of water where the ships are actually sitting and floating on while parked.
And as for the Port... Many who listen to the conversation between the staff here might be very confused, wondering if they were talking about the actual Coastal Port.
No... The Coast port building was the official place like a seaport or airport where people and merchandise could officially enter or leave a country.
But for them, the workers, this entire District was a port.
Yes! This was District I.
.
Its entire existence was one vast commercial facility equipped with cranes, forklifts, warehouses, docks, port offices, security buildings, and so much more.
It can be said that this region had no less than 200 different buildings already spread across the vast district, all in charge of taking care of port matters.
And of course, all warehouses and various important buildings were housed like distressed, with layers of gates, securities, and many other measures put in place.
What a joke!
Do you think they would be comfortable places all these items out here without some form of security?
If one could recall, a little over 4 years ago, Landon had requested for the entire Coastal region to be walled by towering electric fences.
It was simple.
And before one reached the fence, the many guards would've spotted them.
Landon didn't want to destroy the aesthetics of the port.
That's why between the actual waters and the fence were several miles of open space.
Just like the open space in front of towering walls of King's landing, he also created a mole space here.
And to be accurate, the space here was 3 times bigger than the space before King's Landing.
Not only was this a good battlespace, but it also kept the scene looking very neat, not choked up, and very beautiful too.
Again, not all buildings in the District were behind the fence.
Security buildings and docking management buildings, some staff eateries, cleaning buildings, some cafes, and inventory and delivery buildings were fully set across the scene.
Except for the towering Coast guard watchtowers, most buildings within this unfenced territory were made short in height so everyone could still enjoy the beautiful scenery across the district.
.
~Drrrumm~
Levi looked to his far left, seeing several trucks dive out of the fenced territory.
They had the dishing logo on them.
No doubt about it, they were probably moving back and forth between the Fishing dock and the Fishing Industry, transporting all fish captured.
Levi had a slight smile on his face, thinking of how much growth the District had undergone.
Scratching his head, he looked at the new map issued out, heading towards IE-78.
This was a new Government Docking sight that had just been newly built.
It was a new offloading and loading site for the empire's imports and exports.
Typically, foreign representatives, merchants, and the rest would have meetings on such sites.
Thinking of why he was heading over, Levi looked at his watch, feeling more and more anxious with every passing second.
'Dammit! I can't be late!'
1, 5, 15, 23 minutes...
He had spent 23 minutes across the bustling District until he was finally able to locate the newly established Site.
Good.
He hastily parked his cart, calmly running his hands through his hair and adjusting his outfit.
Today, they would be meeting a few representatives from 2 new Treaty signed Romain Empires.
.
"Ah~~ Manager Levi, just the person I wanted to see. I just got a call that the cruise ship carrying the representatives had docked 30 minutes ago. So soon, they should be here. So... I trust you're fully prepared, right?"
Levi nodded: "Yes, Minster Rowin. We should have no problem from my end."
"Wonderful!"
Like so, he, minister Rowin and a few others went into the lounge to pass the time by.
And before they knew it, their guests had arrived... All dark-skinned in complexion.
Levi immediately got busy.
Tick-Tick. Tick-Tock.
Time flew by fast.
Flip.~
He calmly turned his page, speaking in Roma.
"The goods arrived a week ago via cargo ship and have been properly accounted for."
He was in charge of the warehouse that kept the goods Baymard imported from these people.
And sometimes, rather than burning the goods, Baymard would choose to do an exchange. These foreigners wanted an equivalent exchange of various basic needs like mattresses, beddings, and so on.
Working here in the port district, it was all about import, export, exchange, tourist matters, fishing, exploration, etc.
.
~Phew.
Levi wiped the sweat from his forehead, drinking several glasses of water in one gulp.
Maybe he didn't show it, but in there, he was still nervous.
No matter how many times he did such tasks, meeting new people while on state or other important businesses was always a bit scary.
But luckily, the meeting had gone without a hitch.
But was his day over?
Far from it!
With his trusty cart, he drove into the fenced region, reader straight for the warehouse he managed.
Today, various other shipments from afar have arrived.
His days were always like this.
After many security checks, he finally entered the warehouse zone.
Now, he was fully suited up with all safety gear necessary when on site.
One by one, he watched those in the drivable machines transport the goods into his warehouse.
And as expected, there were more bizarre things around.
"Manager Levi, what are the storing conditions of this item? It says on the box that if we want to store this item for longer periods, we have to open it up and store it underwater... But how is that even possible? It's not food or plants in there. So what sort of requirements are these? Could it be that they got it wrong?"
"Manager Levi... Something strange just happened. When 3 of those crates with those strange stones fell, they all came together, gluing to themselves. And now we can't separate them at all!"
"Manager Levi, this crate is moving on its own as though something is in It... Should we open it up?"
(?^?)
...
Second by second, hour by hour, Levi was continuously met with such strange phenomenons.
However, this was the best part of his job.
With a broad smile on his face, he began checking the storage instructions for each item, making sure that for as long as they stayed here, they would be adequately stored.
The world was filled with bizarre items from mother nature.
And every day, his job felt like an adventure.
What would he get next?
Over the years, his love for his family, job, and his empire grew immensely.
Levi tapped the crate before him, assisting a few to mark it up.
[Museum.]
The future was bright.
"Alright. Everyone, take their last 15-minute break!"
"Eh?... Manager, what about you?"
Levi laughed, looking at the newly hired graduate before him. "As a manager, don't you know that my working hours differed from yours? Come on, kid. Get out of here. Go... Go... Eat."
Levi smiled, focusing on the task before him.
This has been the ordinary life of a Baymardian Warehouse Manager.
The adventure ever ends.
