Chapter 917 - The Inner Kingdom: Cleanup
Chapter 917
(Unedited)
…
The large lake began to boil like lava burning everything inside of it. Green mists began to rise up in the air as everything inside the lake began to evaporate.
When Shin Jiao saw this he showed a faint smile on his face and quickly went back to the river source. Then he set up the same formation on the source where everything started. This large formation covered everything in that part of the river as the water began to boil like that in the lake.
The river bed slowly turned crimson as it began to turn the river into a hot spring.
Seeing that everything is done, Shin Jiao went back to the farmland and from there, he began to spray antibacterial agents on the surface of the ground.
It took him quite some time but he deemed that it was enough to at least clean the water from those harmful bacteria.
Shin Jiao return to the village and saw that everything seems to be doing fine as the villagers have already recovered from their weakness.
The group spent another week in the village as Shin Jiao began teaching them how to prevent such a thing from happening again.
After a week, they started traveling again.
They pass by another village which is also affected by the epidemic. Now this village is different because the bacteria are spread through those large and ugly green mosquitoes.
Although Shin Jiao did not want to bother with this, Gwendolyn with her Saint Status and kind attitude asked for their help. And so the group did not have a choice but to help.
"How many villages are in this area…" Shin Jiao asked after the group worked for the whole day and are gathered inside an Inn's dining table.
"There are around 12 villages… But from what I heard from those merchants, it seems that all of the 12 villages and even the Zepa City were affected by this disease…" Gwendolyn Grav said with a frown.
She is really worried about what is happening right now.
"We can clean up everything. However, I could sense that this epidemic is not natural. It is caused by those who harbor ill will against the people in the inner kingdom." Shin Jiao suddenly blurted out.
When the rest heard this, they look at him with disbelief in their eyes.
Even those around them were also taken aback. If what this man said is true, then there is a deep conspiracy that is happening in the surrounding border area of the inner kingdom.
The inner kingdom has 5 main cities, and Zepa City is one of the main cities in the kingdom. If the city is really being affected by this epidemic and it is man-made then the city itself should have already fallen. However, the city has stood still even after the war.
The surroundings of Zepa City are barren and desolate land without crops or vegetation able to grow around it. It has been like that for many years and will always be like that.
But they would always get their provision from the surrounding villages. If what this man is saying is true, then how could the epidemic just happen now? And how could no one discover it from before?
Many questions suddenly clouded the minds of the people inside the inn.
"Master Shin, what should we do then?" Gwendolyn asked with concern.
"We can just do the cleanup. Then spread information in every village and towns and city." Shin Jiao said.
"How? Should we ask the soldiers?" Gwendolyn asked.
Suddenly, the expression of Hua Xiao lights up.
"How about we try to get a radio signal to enter this place? When we enter this land, I did not even see any radios or TV…"
"Well, that would be a viable plan. But the inner kingdom is protected by a barrier. No signal from outside could enter this place." Shin Jiao cut her idea off.
"That's a shame then…"
"But we can still create a radio station, right?" Im Jae suggested.
When she said that, everyone turned silent.
"Haiba village should have been a good place to start. But it is a bit far from Zepa city… However, this village is a perfect spot and the area is a bit bigger than Haiba village." Shin Jiao suggested.
"Should we start a radio station construction in this place then?" Xiamen Gong asked.
"Can you talk to the village head about this?" Shin Jiao asked the two to handle this matter.
With a nod, Hua Xiao and Xiamen Gong agreed.
This village is one of the two villages that are standing between Zepa City and Haiba village. The village is called Fashuan Village.
And so, Shin Jiao once again did the large cleanup while the others continue helping the villagers.
The group once again stayed inside Fashuan village for a while, as they began the construction of the very first radio station in the inner kingdom.
They did not wait for the king's permission as the 8th princess, the Saint is with them. With her influence, she just sent a letter to the capital and told her father what she plans to do.
And so, days went by one by one and soon a month has passed already.
Using the virtual world, Shin Jiao was able to communicate with his groups. One is from the immortal land while the other is from the outer world. He got his information from them and also relayed his instruction.
The virtual world, on the other hand, has already spread through the immortal land. With the help of Luna Halil and the rest of the craftsmen in Ji village, they are able to create millions of helmets and distributed them throughout the human territory. The virtual world at this time is being used as training tools for alchemy, crafting, and more.
Luna stopped complaining about not seeing Shin Jiao as they could spend some time in the virtual world as he teaches her more crafting techniques.
At the same time, Maga Luan has also shown Shin Jiao her progression on her ability to control life.
The progress and growth of Ji village outside made Shin Jiao feel elated and he is a bit excited to return. But at the same time, he also feels at a loss.
This is because everything is already running in order, and he feels that they do not need him anymore. It was a feeling of both contentment and serenity.
As he was in this thought, Yemei Yin patted his shoulder to get his attention.
"Master Shin, the broadcast is going to start soon. We have also sold around 10,000 radios in the nearby villages, towns, and Zepa City. I just hope that the broadcast would reach those far distances." She said while looking at the studio.
Inside the live broadcast studio, a female employee of the station is already sitting and preparing for the first broadcast in the inner kingdom.
With the powerful frequency of the antenna, Shin Jiao is sure that it can cover more than 500 to 1,000 kilometers. That is almost one-third of the whole area of the inner kingdom.
As they observe the first transmission, Shin Jiao is constantly monitoring his surroundings. Since this is not a secret, he is not sure what those that have done this thing would do. So right now, he did not want that something would happen, so he decided to be vigilant.
Outside of the station, in an inn, Im Ao is currently with Gwendolyn listening to the music playing on the radio.
This is a prerecorded song by Isabel and her band and this is playing all over the airwaves. The songs are not only the works of Isabel, there are other artists who also have their songs recorded in Central Town and Shin Jiao has those recordings in his dimension.
And through their test, they have played these songs in every possible frequency on the radio. And it seems that the result is favorable and good.
And so, the time slowly ticks by as it drew nearer to the live broadcast. Using the virtual world, one of the female villagers from Fashuan village who has a great voice was chosen to be the first DJ. She was trained by one of the hosts from Ji village using the virtual world.
As only Shin Jiao could use the virtual world helmet in this world, he helped the female villager enter the virtual world.
Her name is Bi Maili, 21-years-old and a native of Fashuan Village.
She would always read reports in front of the villagers as she is one of the 5 people who can read in the village.
As of right now, her parents and family are inside their house waiting in front of their radio for their daughter.
They all feel excited and proud at the same time that their daughter was chosen to be the first 'DJ' in their village. The pay is lucrative and enough for them to survive. Hence, they are happy and proud.
Suddenly, the radio in front of them stopped the song it is broadcasting.
Everyone who has a radio took a deep breath as they waited for the very first live broadcast to start.
