Chapter 10: Peaceful Day

That night, Mae told me that she would make me fall for her; after that, she collapsed and ended up sleeping in my room. Of course, as a man and a woman, sleeping in the same room is bad; I just sleep in the next room.

In the morning, Mae starts being bold with me; she's not even scared of sharing her thoughts with me, saying that she loves me, cares for me, etc.

She also starts to get clingy to me, but that is only if we're alone, in public, and she's doing her work well, like normal.

Fuku and Amelia are currently discussing politics; I'm not really good at those, so I let Fuku decide. Of course, he also asked for my opinion first before deciding; they even made me a king. Well, it's kind of cool, so I don't mind.

The construction is going well too, and the new circuits are doing well as well. Currently, our popularity is growing and growing each day because of the new device that I bought.

Lie detector glasses: by wearing them, you can immediately tell if someone is lying or not. With them, even if Fuku isn't there, they can refer to those who are trustworthy and good people. As usual, we're just recruiting people in slums and slaves; there are even some cases where we steal slaves from their master or even destroy the whole town.

Well, it only happened once, because of a rotten noble. Speaking of nobles, we also abolished our new government.

As the people in this world are common to the monarchy, making me the king or dictator, all of them seem to agree, as I am the only reason why we are all here now. I have absolute power over everything.

That itself isn't good, as I don't exactly know everything. But Fuku insisted and suggested that he be the prime minister. I agreed, since he was always there to support me. Now, instead of using nobles, we promote government officials, which are legislative, executive, and judicial.

So that we're not the only ones who move and make it peaceful even without us, instead of voting, we pick those who are in charge by looking at their talents, reputation, and if they are trustworthy, and that is the most important for them to not turn corrupt.

With all that said, the floating country is finally complete! We're slowly turning into a country, and to run it smoothly, we established laws and orders for people to follow.

And to have a country, you need a currency. Now, since we're already using advanced technology, using paper money or gold coins isn't my thing; instead, we use points like in the system.

It's like online money, but instead of money, it's points. To earn points, you need to work. I don't want people to have a hard time. That's why all the foods are cheap, not only for food but for other products as well. But there are many things to consider when making a new currency.

Here are the things to consider when making a currency:

Determining Point Value:

If pegged, consider establishing a fixed exchange rate with an existing stable currency to avoid volatility.

If not pegged, implement measures to monitor and control inflation or deflation to maintain a stable value.

Preventing fraud and counterfeiting:

Utilize advanced encryption and cybersecurity measures to secure electronic transactions and protect against hacking.

Implement robust identity verification systems to ensure the legitimacy of users and transactions.

Ensuring Fairness and Inclusiveness:

Clearly define criteria for earning points through work, ensuring transparency and fairness in compensation.

Develop a social safety net to address the needs of those who cannot work, ensuring inclusivity and support for vulnerable populations.

Regularly review and adjust the system to address any unintended consequences for motivation, satisfaction, and well-being.

Consider these aspects to create a stable, secure, and inclusive points-based currency system for the country.

Also, addressing the initial supply and distribution of points requires careful consideration of economic factors and fairness. In terms of international trade, establishing exchange rates and trade agreements would be crucial. Regarding environmental and ethical impacts, adopting sustainable practices for electronic infrastructure and ensuring ethical technology use are essential. Additionally, exploring potential social and cultural changes tied to a points-based economy would be an integral part of comprehensive planning. Thanks for highlighting these aspects, and further exploration would indeed enhance the robustness of the proposed currency system.

That's why slowly developing without currency is crucial; slowly but surely, people will get used to it soon.

The size of the new country, which is the castle and the city combined, is like a small city in our current world; however, it may be small, but it can fit 1 million people in it. With the help of advanced technology, the design, layout, infrastructure, and amenities of the structure are made to fit a million people or more comfortably.

So it won't be an overpopulated city, as it is designed to hold a million people. Of course, if it becomes too crowded, we will do something about it, but currently, we're still a small country.

Hi there! This is Allen, a baker in the capital of the Lara kingdom. There's been a very popular topic in this kingdom that has never died; it started when someone killed the legendary Kraken. I've been doing my regular thing in the morning, where I open my store, when suddenly, an army I had never seen before appeared.

Carrying the large kraken into the capital, there's this weird vehicle and clothes they have, as well as the weapons, but for them to kill the legendary kraken, they must be strong. Not a while after that, they went to the castle.

And after they left, leaving the large kraken behind, the topic spread among wildlife. A man named Siah, who was the rumored Inferno Warden, didn't kneel down to the king and got away with it! For him to kneel before a king is a massive crime! Yet nothing happened to him. Is he that strong?

Some customers who are looking at his bread start a conversation, which Allen overhears: "Did you know? Princess Amelia was engaged with the guy who didn't kneel to the king!"

"Huh! Why would the king let Prince Amelia be married to a guy who has no respect for him?"

"It's about peace, have you forgotten? Nobles tend to engage their children with other nobles outside the country or inside to have connections."

"So Princess Amelia is just a sacrifice for the kingdom?"

"Yeah, it's sad, but there's nothing we could do; we could just pray that the guy she has been engaged to is a nice man."

"Yeah." All of them sighed, as they didn't have the power to do anything about it. They all just prayed that everything would be okay for her.

Siah woke up, yawning and stretching his arms on his bed, doing his routine: eating breakfast, brushing his teeth, taking a shower, going for some training, and then looking around the complete flouting castle from the ground.

The flouting castle is still on trial after all, testing if it can work or not. By the way, the flouting castle may be where the civilians live, but the land where they killed the Kraken is still theirs. That's why the entire land becomes a military base, building fences all over their land and having high security that can even defeat dragons.

Fuku is experienced with air attack; that's why it's highly defensed, though there's really no reason to defend the air since they still haven't developed anything to attack by air. Also, it was only created for any air monsters to attack.

Also, the ground is the same thing. As he designed the military base to even withstand the hero's party, it may be traumatizing for him as he loses to the hero, but now, even if there's still a hero out there, we can fight them!

But that isn't all; the military base is made to protect us from the threat of the fantasy world, and when it comes to fantasy, magic always comes to mind...

But that is another topic for later.

Fuku came to Siah and gave him a letter: "It's from the guild; it looks like you've been accepted."

{ we, from the guild headquarters from the main branch, accept you, Siah, to become an adamantite adventurer in one condition: fight in the tournament that will be held 2 weeks from now in the place where the legendary hero trained, the dungeon city! }
