Chapter 678 - Carona's Continuous Progress

As Arcadina was preparing for its new ruler, the empire of Carona continued to undergo several dramatic changes altogether.

It was a brand new day, and everyone went about their busy lives excitedly.

Carona had left its old shadow behind and was also progressing towards its own new age.

"Now kids, let’s do a simple problem alright kids.

If I take 5 apples and add them with 2 tomatoes, what will the answer be?" Said a very cheerful voice coming from a solar TV.

And in front of the television, was a 4-year-old girl currently looking at her notebook to get the right answer.

"That’s right!

Because apples are not tomatoes, we cannot add them up.

So the answer should still be 5 apples and 2 tomatoes.

Well done!" Said the cheerful voice.

And soon, the little girl’s eyes lit up and she clapped for herself even though she had previously gotten it wrong.

Nonetheless, she quickly wrote the right answer down in her notebook and smiled happily.

"Alright kids!

Now after that tiring question, what do you all say about a little signalling?

Today, we’ll be singing the Two-Timetable in a fun and exciting way.

Now, let’s have fun and sing along!"

With that, the little girl got up and did the little dance on TV.

She followed the yellow flower’s dance moves and tried her best to memorize the Timetable.

And while the little girl was immersed in her own little world, her mother quickly brought out her breakfast and helplessly dragged her daughter away from the TV.

"Mimi, eat your food fast okay?

Mummy is starting a brand new job today so I can’t be late."

"Alright mummy." The little girl said cheerfully.

Filomina looked at Mimi and smiled happily.

Ever since they had gotten a solar TV Cassette player and some TV, movie and kids cassettes... her little girl seemed to have turned smart all of a sudden.

The girl could now write, and she could even do additions and something called multiplications by heart.

Of course, Filomina had also learned reading and writing alongside her daughter by watching the learning shows on TV.

And once she grasped the key concepts, she quickly used her housewife salary to buy more advanced books and studied diligently while her husband went out to work.

For sure, when it came to grammar, she was more advanced than her daughter.

But when it came to math, she found that her fighter was way better than she was.

Anyway, her biggest thing was to learn how to read and write, so that she could also get a better job and support her family.

Some jobs didn’t require one to read.

But she felt like times were changing and books and even TV programs made learning easier.

And sooner or later, being literate would be the main requirement for better income.

So even without a teacher, many people in Carona still knew the basics thanks to all these resources at their disposal.

Sure, they were only at the beginner stage, but not too long from now... they would be at the intermediary stage and maybe even reach the advanced stage.

Working in places that required them to read meant that they would be working and learning at the same time.

So in a way, their jobs also enriched them greatly.

.

Filomina hurriedly ate breakfast alongside her daughter and quickly placed Mimi’s backpack on her waist.

At the same time, she quickly searched her own bag for a while.

Key... key... key... where did she put it?

She couldn’t find that colourful keychain anywhere.

She searched for a while before quickly making her way to her bedroom again.

Sure enough, it was still on her bed.

Now, with everything at hand, she hastily unlocked the door from within, picked up a Baymardian padlock from the side, stepped out and locked the door with the padlock.

’Click!’

Her door was finally sealed.

As for the lock on her door, it was called an ’Alarm Padlock!’

That’s right!

It had a built-in movement triggering alarm that would emit a loud sound when the lock got hit or shaken twice.

Of course, the alarm would go on for 3 minutes before stopping... unless the keys were inserted into the lock.

The Caronians placed these sorts of locks on their doors, windows, bicycles, and even on their gates.

This small device here had greatly reduced the crime rate, as well as plotting and scheming.

Before, they only placed a wooden stick against their doors when they weren’t available.

But the thieves still touched their belongings at will.

Now with these padlocks, forget it!

It would even alert the neighbours, and they would come over to catch the thief themselves.

Even noblewomen had caught their own maids sneaking into their rooms in an attempt to put poison on their makeup or even plant ’evidence’ on them.

This device had made so many people sat up.

And even assassins found it hard to get through the windows that were now locked with these alarm padlocks.

One should know that even if they want to destroy the windows and doors to get in, how would they do it without shaking these locks?

The only possible way was to steal the key or break-in by passing through the walls or ceilings.

A job that used to be seen as an easy feat for now assassin, was now seen as a daunting task.

Sigh...

All they could do was silently curse Baymard for their own predicaments.

.

Filomina opened her bag just to be sure that the key was there, before holding Mimi’s hand and walking away.

Each lock came with 4 keys and 3 spare batteries.

She and her husband kept 2 keys while the other 2 were kept in a box buried somewhere around their front door.

As for battery changes, after unlocking the padlock, if they continuously rotated the key clockwise, the bottom part of the lock would fall off and they could just replace the battery then.

Everything was really easy and simple to use, which made their lives even better and safer.

Filomina rushed through the busy streets and quickly dropped off Mini at the Kindergarten/Daycare... before getting off in the opposite direction again.

She looked at her watch anxiously, before speeding up a bit.

Today was her first day on the job.

So how could she afford to be late?
