I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1750  Not Saved Yet?

They say goodbyes are often the hardest.

Everyone who was leaving shortly, felt a pang of pain in their hearts, swearing to return to Baymard at least once in 2 years.

The good thing was that with the Bay-trans ships soon ready for launching in Soma, the journey by sea would be extremely short, taking only several days for travel.

And if they finished their business in Soma earlier than usual during their periods at home, they might be able to make it here once a year rather than once in 2 years.

Even though fall and winter were beautiful and grand here many felt they wanted to see how Summer looked in Baymard.

Don't blame them for being overly curious.

It's said that in summer, several indoor activities are carried out outdoors full scale.

What's more, some attractions are only open during the summer. So do you know how much they have missed out on coming here in late Fall with all the rain?

They also want to walk along the sidewalks on very sunny days, lick ice cream, and go to outdoor concerts and other grand festivals.

What?

Do you think Baymard doesn't have concerts? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

Then you're thinking too naively.

With Baymard having actors and movie stars, do you think they won't have musicians too?

The incredible demand for music skyrocketed when the music players and headphones were mass-produced.

Now, one can listen to music in their bPods (iPod style mp3 player) as they please.

But as Landon had said, the bPods can't go over a certain Volume threshold.

With the maximum volume on you can still hear your surroundings when walking on the streets.

Sorry, but he wasn't taking that risk yet

After all, the people here didn't know the feeling of blasting music so high in one's ears like those back on Earth.

Essentially, they would take what he gave them and be so grateful, happy, and content with it.

Even now many felt the current highest volume setting was too high.

The people in this era were instinctively vigilant.

So without his instructions, a majority wanted to hear what was going on in their surroundings.

That's why even when listening to music, they keep the volume lowered in a way that allows them to listen to music while also engaging with people they meet if need be.

Again, understand that in traffic and pedestrian street laws, it was against the law to play music above the '70' standard Volume mark.

Look!

Even the decibels and frequency levels were recorded in case future developers try increasing the volume capacity of the bPods.

It's true that at the current 100%volume mark one can still hear their surroundings.

But just to be safe the volume must always be kept no more than 70.

To make it easier, if one looks at their settings on the devices they will see a mode called Pedestrian/Street mode.

Once clocked, all settings will readjust to ensure you abide by the law since once caught, the fine was incredibly heavy.

It could go from 1000 Bays to 5,000 Bays.

No matter how you look at it, it's best they stick to the law and be honest.

The laws also went serious, saying it was illegal for those above 9 to be on the streets listening to bPods when alone and unattended.

Although people here matured way faster than on Earth, Landon still feared that younger brains were likely to get very distracted on the roads and sidewalks as they skipped and jumped around merrily.

Although security in Baymard was efficient one never knows who was thinking of kidnapping these little ones.

That's why he preferred they remain alert at all times with no music unless they were with their guardians.

And if a child below 9 is caught listening to bPods while walking on the streets, the parents or guardians get fined 2000~8000 Bays.

Now people tell their children the following;

-Always look left and right before crossing the street.

-Green light means go, red light means stop and yellow light means wait.

-No bPods on the streets till you turn 9.

The laws were simple.

To ensure everyone understood these facts when burying bPods, the sales clerks will always tell the customers these simple facts.

Now even foreigners know what to expect.

All in all, Baymard's safety was greatly emphasized with each invention made.

Everyone understood that rules must always change, especially now that cargo planes have made headlines.

A whole set of plane rules and regulations were set in motion, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Lile so, the bPod, like many great inventions, created a skyrocketing demand for music.

Musicians from all UN empires have long gathered signing with any of the current 3 Bay-studio records showcasing the music from their empires.

Some people from Zohl were shocked by how many fans they had in Romain and Pyno.

Oh my God!

The turnout was incredible, and the money they got from just one concert in the summer was insane.

This only pushed them further, with many quickly working harder to produce their next music album.

The world here had various unique and never-seen-before genres that did so well it almost turned into a cult following.

Apart from traditional music displayed by various genres, they had Moxing, a genre that was taking the UN empires by storm.

Other genres also appeared and were well-received by the masses.

And of course, Landon had to add Pop and RnB to the mix.

Well, he was a true Pop fan.

All 3 record labels were sponsored by him.

So at times, he would write the same songs from Earth, making them hits here.

Tsk

If Celine Dione was reborn in this world she would hack him to death.

He copied several albums from her that made quite a few stars so popular people were crying and weeping in their concerts when the song 'My Heart Goes On' played.

Well, after watching the Baymardiam Titanic version, it was no wonder their eyes were bulging with tears.

And how can you forget the king of Pop, he turned several Micheal Jackson albums into hits, after finding a dark-skin Romain teen whose voice was too similar to Micheal's.

No way!

The moment the boy came for idol signup and audition, Landon immediately requested he be sent up to the main office.

Now, that boy's fame is so big that people faint when they touch his hand.

-----

In the end, after listening to the many good things Baymard had to offer in the summer, everyone who wasn't leaving secretly swore to return in a year or 2 during the heated season.

For now, everyone was leaving Baymard with content, knowing the trip was truly worth it.

But in another corner in Pyno, a certain group of Baymardians was finally getting ready to escort the prisoner out.

Ezenia looked at her cuffed hands, still initially believing it was truly over for her.

She woke up 2 weeks ago and has been stalling greatly, secretly stabbing herself and doing the opposite to stay in the Deifer palace.

Henry gave her the courtesy of getting healed to some extent before her sentencing came.

But Ezenia who woke up, got word from her Grandfather's people that they would be coming to rescue her soon.

Soon?...

How fast is their so-called soon?

At first, she was ecstatic, knowing she would soon get out and give Henry hell.

But as time went on, her promised freedom never came.

She stalled and stalled her time here, only to relapse that nothing was happening.

(`^`)

'What is going on? Why hasn't Grandfather sent people yet?'

Captured?

Ezenia quickly her thought, feeling the thought too impossible to be true.

Do you know how powerful her grandfather is?

Even the late monarch, Henry's father, was too scared of her grandfather's power.

Thinning her frail cracked lips, Ezenia couldn't help worrying knowing what day it was.

A while back, Henry calmly walked into her narrow confinement telling her that no matter how much she tries to delay, her sentencing will come down today.

He told her cleanly that he knew of her actions when she injured herself and fainted severely.

For the first time since knowing him, Ezenia saw a cold, murderous intent in the way he stared at her.

[This is my last courtesy to you. If you like, faint again. That will not stop me from sending you to Baymard.]

[If anything, I will gladly pop bottles in celebration knowing you will wake up from your fainting spree and collapse. You are already in a Baymardianvejviel on your way to prison!]

"Bastard!"

Ezenia smashed her fists on her bed hard.

She was chained to her sick bed and left in this tiny but clean room with guards stationed everywhere.

Catchack!

The door opened without warning, and in came several women, some female guards, came to dress and clean her up for today's sentencing.

Looking at the dreadful fate looming above her, Ezenia felt her heart skip several beats.

'Grandfather... where are you?'
