World Domination System

Chapter 748 Inspection

Standing in the air above a large area where construction on a large-scale was going on, Daneel had his hands folded, while Eloise and Luther stood behind him, looking down at the massive school city that was being built.

Indeed, this was what they had signed off on the day when the now famous Alliance Headquarters had flown into the air, and although construction had been going on briskly, the phrase ’Rome wasn’t built in a day’ also applied in Angaria.

The objective was to create a place of learning and knowledge which would also house many, many research facilities that would hopefully give rise to inventions that might just move the Central Continent forward, so it had been planned very carefully by Eloise over a long period of time.

The city was basically divided into two parts, and a large road ran down the middle to separate them. This was called the Central road, and it could fit 20 people abreast. On one side of it was the school part of the city, where children from all over the Alliance would be coming to learn and grow. In it was also included all of the lodging places where both the students and the teachers would live, and from above, a few round spots that looked like helicopter landing pads from Earth could be seen where people were teleporting into the place.

Indeed, even though the city was not entirely ready, all of the teachers from the National School in the Kingdom of Lanthanor had already been moved over, along with the students. Classes were already going on in full swing, and every day, hundreds of students were coming from various parts of the Alliance. In many cases, they were children from the slums who had nothing to their name, and even though they came with empty hands and not even a day’s change of clothes, their eyes shined with fire to utilize everything that was being given to them to change their destinies.

Seeing people like these appear one by one made his heart feel warm, and Daneel was automatically reminded of his own time in the slums. If that original Daneel hadn’t gotten into that mishap which had killed him and caused the transmigration to happen, what route would his life have taken? Would he have succeeded in his wish to change his family’s condition? Or would he and the Anivron family have faded into obscurity, which was the fate that was common among those who found themselves in such situations?

Snapping out of his reverie, Daneel looked over the rest of the place, and he was happy to see that the research part of the city was also coming along nicely.

This was meant for both magic and non-magic research, and although the former occupied more space, it was to be expected as mages from all over the Alliance would be arriving soon. Prominent among them would be the mages from Eldinor, who had all been convinced to come by giving them near limitless resources to carry out whatever research they wished.

For this, after discussion with the Sovereigns, Daneel had already put in place a system where researchers could draw resources based on what subject they were researching. If it was related to the welfare of the continent or war, they would be able to draw the most resources, because these were the pressing things for Angaria right now. If it were something more casual, they would get less money, but it was still research, so they would be encouraged to finish it and then move on to more important things if they wished.

Incentivisation was always key, and this was something that Daneel had learned from Earth. As soon as the city was done, he looked forward to what marvels it would produce, as he had high hopes for the environment he was creating which was unique in the continent.

Even back during the age of the Empire, the Emperor’s vision had allowed him to create exactly such an environment that had promoted discussion among researchers. Now, the situation was similar to back then, where most research was going on in a decentralized way, with people withholding what they discovered as there was no way to make sure that the credit for their discoveries would belong to them.

If this was in place, people would feel so much more free to just explore, and an open mind was always best for innovation.

After confirming that everything was fine here, Daneel traveled next to the branches of the Healer’s Academy where healers in training would be sent so that they could serve to obtain their certification.

These were just smaller clinics, and because healing was something which did not require too many resources except the healers, themselves, they were already ready and waiting for the healers to arrive.

Already, whenever he stood over such clinics, he saw the people around them looking at those buildings with joy in their eyes, as they would definitely never have expected that they would see such a sight in their lives.

Healing had always been something only the rich could afford, but now, their King had made it so that it was no longer the case.

Also, whenever people passed these clinics, they would remark about that announcement before where a certain portion of money would be used to allow them to have a credit line in case they ever got injured, and although it hadn’t been implemented yet as the unique IDs for all the people in the Alliance were still being made, it was clear that there was a certain anticipation that that system would help everyone a lot.

Daneel was always of the opinion that it was important to check upon the schemes that he was implementing instead of just announcing them and then forgetting about them, so seeing this made him happy.

Next up was the train station, and the best thing to be seen here was that the premium trains were still seeing high occupancy. In fact, apparently, these premium trains were even booked out for the next three months. Daneel considered for a few moments whether he should introduce more numbers of these trains, but he eventually decided against it as there was always merit in keeping something exclusive.

As for goods and passenger trains, they were also being used daily, and because the train network was still spreading steadily, it had not completely proliferated to the extent that there was more demand than supply.

When that point came, Daneel already had plans to increase the number of trains, because it made sense to do so in this case rather than the other one.

Finally, Daneel’s stroll over his Kingdom ended on top of the large podium in the air on which a few buildings had been constructed.

Inside these buildings were the administrative staff who had been hired by Eloise to cater to the people who had been coming steadily below to shout out and receive help.

Back when it had been announced, apparently, the words ’Ask, and you shall receive; had worked very well. They were catchy, and they had been repeated multiple times even among the common folk, and right after, there had been quite a large rush of people who came to address their grievances to the Alliance.

Then, itself, Daneel had given a command that no matter how much it cost, all those who arrived should be treated well, and made to feel as if their every word mattered. This had been taken care of masterfully by Eloise, Robert, and surprisingly, his mother, too, who had thrown herself into this as she liked the initiative, and the result was that the general opinion for the Alliance was at an all-time high.

Detractors were being silenced day by day, and especially because of the amazing image that his mother had among the people, there were many who had been hesitating before who took the plunge and arrived to seek the help of the Alliance.

It was often that these kinds of people were those that would gossip the most, and if things hadn’t gone well, they would have been the ones to make it extremely clear to as many people as possible that it was all just a gimmick. Instead, because of Daneel’s orders and the carefulness of the three who were in charge, the opposite happened, and these people became the best spokespersons who told everyone they could find that they should be very, very happy that they were a part of the Alliance.

At this location, Daneel also met Helena and Dalia, and Dalia was already growing to be a beautiful young woman who apparently already had many, many pursuers from all the major trade families on the continent.

However, she had apparently become a workaholic, and although she was still attending school, most of her free time was spent taking care of the business and growing it as much as possible. Even now, she had taken a temporary leave from the school to arrive here on the King’s behest.

They had a short chat, during which Dalia was actually the one who answered most of his questions. Even though it hadn’t been very long, it felt as if she had changed so much from that little girl who had been speechless the first time she saw him, and seeing this growth made Daneel get a smile on his face.

The premium line of fabrics that the H&D enterprise had launched was doing well, especially because of the advertising that was being done aggressively across both the Networks. Along with this, it had been Dalia’s idea to get certain role models who were already famous in communities to sponsor their products, and Daneel was amused to find out that she had figured out this method which was actually quite overused back on Earth.

All that was needed now was time, and Dalia had announced with confidence that she was sure that H&D would soon grow to become the biggest company in the continent with products present in almost each and every household, regardless of which force they were in.

The only problem was that other enterprises had also copied their model, and because they had long-standing customers, they were also doing well. Still, she was confident in defeating them, and that was nice to see.

This had always been his goal for this company, and although the expected competition was present, Daneel was still happy with the track that it was taking.

Hence, with this, he finished his inspection of everything that he had set in motion during his time as the king.

All in all, so far, there weren’t many hiccups, and that really was a cause for celebration. True, each plan had been implemented with extremely detailed planning, and of course, he had to thank his sovereigns for their relentless effort in making sure that his vision would become true on multiple fronts.

Well, now... It was time to take things to the next level, just like he had announced during the meeting with his sovereigns before.

Until now, even though Daneel hadn’t given many details after his brief explanation before, Eloise and Luther had stayed silent as they knew that Daneel always liked to reveal things in an impressive manner instead of just saying it out loud.

Thankfully, this habit wasn’t yet at a point where it was irritating.

Turning around, Daneel was about to announce his plan to the Sovereigns, but he suddenly remembered something.

He had been too caught up in this, and he had forgotten his promise to Faxul that he would show the second Godbeast that he had obtained.

Well... Why not finish that first?

"Before we start on this, let’s make one last detour."

A few seconds later, Eloise and Luther found themselves in an underground room where a few hundred men and women could be seen with stern expression is on their faces.

Behind them, the other sovereigns also arrived, and they had actually been discussing among themselves regarding what the King might have meant.

"I thought you forgot. I was going to remind you, but I could see that you were too busy with your thoughts."

As Faxul said this on arriving, Daneel simply replied, "Hey, you can’t blame me. You’ll find out soon enough why I was so excited, though. But, for now... Watch."

Saying so, Daneel first erected an opaque barrier around them that also kept the watching Raul out.

Seeing this, the Champion and the Domination corps who were watching felt puzzled, but they kept their silence.

Something seemed to be going on on the inside of that barrier, but even the sound had been blocked off.

Raul suddenly felt something odd, but just as he was about to walk forward to check on the barrier, a strange sight greeted him.

As one, Luther and Robert came out with amused expressions on their faces, and in their hands was Aran, who was actually frothing at his mouth with a terrified expression on his face, almost as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world which had managed to directly knock him out.
