Chapter 1820 Farming World Discrimination
"Oh, didn"t expect you to come out here," Jin said as he got a bit left out and summoned another baby Astral Panda for him to hug.
"I sensed an irregularity in the living room so I came out to take a look. Did not expect your Maqi to be this erm…thick though. It did not feel like it when you were trying to circulate your Maqi." Qiu Yue said as she sat at the corner of the table right opposite Lynn.
"How"s the store so far? I honestly apologise and thank you for keeping it on track for me," Jin said as he bowed a little.
"Nah, nothing I cannot handle. Besides, it was kind of fun? I finally managed to try out the business for real while my Beavers are keeping things busy in the Farming World. However, I did sc.r.a.p your Pandarens farming grounds project because I find that the Farming World is too precious to let the cultivators play for fun."
"Oh? What did you do?"
"The Northern Kingdom had finally started to grow properly. General Matt Umiterus had temporarily taken charge of the Kingdom for now with the Scholar of the East and West advising him on what to do. Also, despite calls from the Northern Kingdom citizens to destroy it, the scholars had determined that the Demon Rats Underground Empire is something that we can take advantage of as well in the future despite the history we had for it." Qiu Yue said and Jin continued to listen while the Panda in front of him decided to take the rest of his dinner into its mouth.
"Seeing General Matt had trusted us to do all the renovations after hearing the Southerners" compliments, I decided to be more bold and do a makeover of everything especially since the Northern Kingdom is a place where we are going to have full control of as compared to the Southern Region."
"Geez, at this rate, the East and West would feel that they are the ones being left out and most probably feel inferior," Jin said as he opened his mouth and the Baby Astral Panda put the nugget into his mouth.
"It is their problem, not ours. Besides, we only added military complexes to the Southern Region and helped to strengthen their fortifications from incoming attacks. We have yet to revolutionise the entire Southern Region. If things go well, I might even get Weslie and Gold to do a complete a.n.a.lysis of Southern Region"s climate and see what kind of crops we can get..although when I see deserts, the only thing I can think of is…"
"Sand." Lynn snuggled the Astral Panda and it made a cute yawning noise.
"Oil." Jin opened his mouth once more and the Baby Astral Panda happily put another piece into his mouth.
"Both of you are correct." Seeing how Jin"s Astral Panda was feeding his owner, Qiu Yue"s panda wanted to pick one up and feed her too but she rejected and in the end, the Panda ate for itself.
"If they have oil. We will strike gold. Like literal gold. We can accelerate development in the Northern and Southern Regions, do trades for both places, and start growing money in their lands."
"Don"t get ahead of yourself, what did you do for Town Wecha."
"Oh, that. Urgh. We had to clear everyone out, put them in the open, and make them trust the Demon Rats that we had grown."
"They accepted them?"
"Nope, not by a long shot. There were lots of friction from the citizens and there were many who were cursing at them but they had forgotten that there were victims in the Demon Rat population as well."
"Then why did you even do that in the first place?"
"Because, if we are going to work large scale, we would definitely need the Demon Rats. Their population growth is incredible and they are quite the hardworking fellows too. I had to go down multiple times to make sure that any disputes were to be handled with equality. There is no discrimination of pay and numeration for both races."
"I a.s.sumed you gave them a guarantee as well."
"I do one even better. I made the Demon Rats to serve as security guards and the police."
"Huh?!" Both Lynn and Jin opened their eyes wide. "Won"t that be horrifying for the humans?"
"On the contrary no, I told them if the Demon Rats ever abuse their authority, the Military can step in. However, they have to remember that any false reports would be handled with punishments as well. So, there"s the military police and the Demon Rats police. This way, the Demon Rats have their equipment to protect themselves and some autonomy to do work while the human"s military police would be there to handle disputes as just as possible. All reports have to be sent to the System anyways because I programmed it that way and any fake reports would be punished."
"Ouch, I think this is a rather bad move," Lynn commented.
"I"m not too sure. They all know that there is someone in the pecking order that is higher. If there were only the Farming Humans and the Demon Rats, I am sure that they would be discriminated. However, because the Farming Humans know that we are there to ensure equality and had vouched for these Demon Rats, it gave them a chance to redeem themselves. But, I won"t lie. This is a move I would not dare to do."
"Heh, I thought this was a move you would be daring enough to do."
"Though, I am curious, why would you want the Demon Rats to work there? They could have work in Pandapolis, Demonpolis or even the Seven Cities. All of those cities needed help." Jin asked as he shook his head to the Astral Panda who wanted to give him the very last piece of chicken nugget.
"Tell me about it. As soon as I took up your role and clean up all the bad practices you made to be more efficient. I suddenly find myself picking up more than multiple Empire projects that without my Beavers I would have asked the System to kill me instead."
