Chapter 860 - Booming Town

Chapter 860

(Unedited)

…

The busy people working on the ship's deck have already finished their work for the day and have decided to relax. They all sit around and chat with each other on the ship's deck where there are refreshments and food.

The large ship is like a big office and at the same time factory as it produces many items from inside its hull.

Boxes after boxes of good products inside are being delivered to the town and the resources inside the ship would be gathered and used as materials to create another batch of goods.

From enchanted weapons and armors, talisman, medicine, magic light bulbs, magic battery, and canned meats, many items would go in and out of the ship making it busy all day.

And the workers inside the ship have already become accustomed to this life.

Right at this moment, a middle-aged-looking man is inside the laboratory observing the people working inside. His eyes are glowing with interest, and his expression could not help but light up.

Phil Mason is watching everything that is happening inside the laboratory with bated breath.

He has been living in the Xinglo Kingdom for 100 years. He has experienced battles, wars, and has traveled to different parts of the kingdom and one could say that he is the most knowledgeable mage in the land.

But he has never seen such a wonderful in his entire journey. He has never seen such a technique to bend and manipulate metal and any object. He has seen divine artisan and blacksmith, but they use forging to bend metal and form it.

However, these people in this place are different. It's like they could command the metal at will and manipulate its structure. It was too fascinating.

Plus there are many things that he had not seen before, and now his interest is piqued.

In fact, Phil Mason is a well-known all-rounder in every aspect. He knows alchemy and blacksmithing and has pushed his skill to master level. But seeing these people manipulate those precious metals as if it's made of clay made him feel a bit dumbfounded.

"So, Grand Magus Mason, what do you think?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked while standing beside the dumbfounded man.

"What do I think? Hahaha… What do I think? You are asking me? Hahaha... Well, I will be crazy if I pass up this opportunity…" Phil Mason said with a chuckle.

He suddenly patted Shin Jiao's shoulder and said with a wide smile.

"Master Shin… as you can see, I am a traveling mage. I have wandered through the vast land of the kingdom and I could say that I have seen almost everything that this vast land could offer. However, I always feel at a loss… I don't know, but there is this itch that I could not scratch. It's like something that I wanted… and upon seeing the laboratory today… I suddenly realize what it is. I now know that I thirst for knowledge. I thirst for discovery, for learning…" Phil Mason said while his eyes brightened.

Shin Jiao could not help but smile. He could tell that this honest-looking middle-aged man is telling him the truth. He could tell it by his eyes which would sparkle when seeing the researchers in the laboratory.

Shin Jiao could tell that the old man somewhat feels envious of them. And now after saying those words, he seems to get what this old fellow is going to ask next.

"I… can I stay here for a while? I mean… I… I will not do anything that is detrimental to your people… I just… Sigh…" Phil Mason did not know how to explain himself.

He belongs to the Great White Tower of Dugal, but in his heart, he did not want to associate with those people. They always do a lot of superficial research and did nothing all day but bicker and argue with each other on who made the best improvements, or who has the most excellent accomplishments.

They bicker on so many little things that they seem to forget the real essence of magic research.

And that is the reason why he has traveled all over the land.

Now that he found something that he likes and wanted to do, he would not want to give it up. But he also could not push his idea to Shin Jiao, so his heart feels conflicted.

"Grand Magus Mason…" Shin Jiao said but suddenly was stopped by Phil Mason.

"Master Shin... I could tell that you have the same strength as me, though I sometimes could see your strength fluctuating for some unknown reason. But… I must insist, you can call me Phil, or whatever…" Phil Mason said with a grin.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you Master Phil then…"

"Anyway, as I wanted to say, it would be my honor if you can stay with us." Shin Jiao added with a smile.

Phil Mason was a bit taken aback as he did not think that Shin Jiao would immediately agree to his request. This made him thoroughly happy and excited.

That day, a new member of the research team entered the group.

Shin Jiao gave Phil Mason the freedom to learn whatever he can from the research department. Since he likes blacksmithing, Phil Mason concentrated on crafting and artifacts.

He is being assisted by one of the mages who seem to be nervous upon meeting the Grand Magus. That mage almost fainted after learning that he is going to teach a Grand Magus on crafting technique.

…

Another week has passed, and Central Town has now become a more bustling town. The morning is busy, and ever since the magic light bulbs were installed all over the town, the night did not differ. People began to enjoy their lives and the boring days of just sitting around and talking behind each other's back, bickering, and nonsensical fights lessened.

The radio has become the mainstream entertainment in the town.

In a certain two-story building in town. The street in this place looks busier than other streets as many stalls and businesses selling different stuff are everywhere. The company that owns the building is called Fengtai Broadcasting Company.

Inside the building, there are many people standing in line while most of them are holding application papers. They are here to apply as artists and staff for the radio shows.

And right now, this same thing is happening in another location where there is another station just like this one.

The town has around 300 thousand people living in it, and as of this moment, there are around 10 radio stations that have initiated a deal with Mystique Shop and ordered a radio transmitter to be installed for their use.

And so these ten radio stations are always bustling with people as many wanted to be known throughout the town. Most of them are the young noble miss of known family in the town.

A tall and beautiful figure enters the Fenghai Broadcasting Company building followed by men wearing glittering armors. The woman has immediately attracted the attention of the people inside the lobby.

"Ah… Miss Delphi… Welcome! Welcome to our company." A middle-aged man wearing silver spectacles said as he bowed his head.

He is wearing something that looks like a classic vintage five-piece suit set from Europe.

The woman takes a glance at the middle-aged man and proudly lifted her head.

"I am interested to get the main casting role for one of your radio shows." The rich-looking young woman said.

"Ah… Yes… yes… As long as Miss Delphi says it, we will oblige." The middle-aged man said while nodding his head as she flatters the woman.

Everyone around them showed dislike to the woman. She is overbearing and proud, but no one dares to confront her because of the armored men behind her.

"It seems that the Miss Delphi wanted to go behind the backdoor and grab some roles… Hahaha…" suddenly a melodious voice interrupted the group.

From behind them enters an equally beautiful woman wearing a pink gown. From one look, one could tell that she is far more beautiful than the one called Miss Delphi.

This time the middle-aged manager showed fear in his eyes. He suddenly swallowed hard as he seems to be trapped between a rock and a hard place.

How could he defy these two women coming from two prestigious families in Central Town?

Without a choice, he quickly pressed on his earpiece and called.

"Boss, the two ladies from the Yan and Maw clan are here. I need you here quickly." He said in a low voice.

The two women continue to bicker against one another throwing insults and glares. And this amused the people around them.

It did not take long before a tall mature-looking woman appears in front of everyone.

Upon seeing the woman everyone in the lobby immediately turned silent. They could not help but show an excited look on their faces.. Who in town did not know her? She is the boss of the Fenghai Broadcasting Company, Jiwen Han.
