Sam is in his sky-scr.a.p.er looking through the screens in a floor.
There is no personnel operating on each floor, rather every screen was enchanted by Sam.
The low-level spirits will be responsible for watching over the whole city and all of these are like Sam’s artifacts and they can contact him directly, but he didn’t let them.
Rather, he is planning to perform a huge enchantment to the whole building so that spirit would be responsible for reporting Sam.
It would act as an A.I assistant.
He is planning to do so, but before that, he has to check all the nodal points in the city.
The towers that are acting as nodes are not the only ones that are a part of the formations.
The positioning of the street lights, the buildings, the park-benches that are arranged, the restaurants the pillars of the city walls. All in all, there are around twenty-five formations within the city and some of these formations are interlinked and there is another massive defensive formation that uses these twenty-five formations as nodes.
Apart from that, there are three types of cannons and each type of various sizes, placed inside on some watchtowers and on the city walls, which will make nine types of formations which will give the massive defensive formation, nine types of variations upon integrating with them.
All of this is Sam’s work. But the formation masters weren’t able to detect that, because the formations are made with the most inconspicuous of things.
They couldn’t possibly think that the street lamp placed by the workers they themselves supervised would be part of the formation node.
This is only one of the projects Sam has undertaken.
And this is not the biggest one of all.
The other projects involve the whole of the western continent and one of them is the establishment of Sam’s parks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn every Dukedom capital, there is a park opened, even Sam’s park in the southern star was remodeled. In every park, there is a tower constructed.
Apart from that, every Dukedom city had three smaller towers constructed.
And every other city and even every village has towers constructed in the same way.
In the whole Arian, every city and every village has these kinds of towers and on the top of the tower, there is a room, in which some people are working which is simply controlling the energy flow from the spirit stones to the crystal inside the tower.
This is the communication network, Sam designed.
In this world, there are two major necessities that Sam has identified and on which he could make cash on and the first one is communication.
Apart from the four major professions and the person-in-charge of the city, there is no way to contact the people out of the city for normal people and Sam decided to change this situation.
This is one of his major projects and that is monopolizing the communication sector.
Sam has designed a new type of communication device, which works like a cell-phone. But it doesn’t have any other function other than talking. Because Sam still has to master the technology enough to integrate the calling and sending messages at the same time. He was still in the beginning stages and he doesn’t want to waste too much time on it.
Anyway, this communication tokens use a spiritual signature instead of numbers.
Sam used these towers to create formations in every city which are further interlinked to form an array of formations that act as a communication channel and there are two main hubs for these communication channels which act as the main nodes. One of them is Sam’s city and the other one in the Imperial Capital of Arian.
All the people have to do is, register their spiritual imprint in the nearby tower in their city and they will be completely registered in the database.
The only problem is, just like how they exchange the spiritual imprints in the previous communication devices, they still have to follow the same procedure.
Once they exchange the spiritual imprints within their devices in person and if their spiritual imprints are registered in the tower database, they can communicate no matter where they are in the whole Western continent. Except for the northern ice lands.
They still prefer to be secluded and don’t want to interference from the outside world, but that is still under Arian though. Arc still did give them enough respect to leave to their traditional ways, so Sam didn’t make his hands reach that part of the territory.
Anyway, communication is still his. Every person should pay a hundred spiritual stones to register their spiritual imprint in the database. Every three months, they have to visit the nearest tower and renew their communication imprint.
As for the communication device, Sam has designed various ways. There are some which can be used as Bluetooth headsets, some will be like smartphone, like a slate in hands.
They can also be categorized with size, shape, length, and the number of imprints they can register in their device.
The price starts from, hundred spiritual stones and raises up to thousands of spirit stones and there is a custom device feature, in which they can order a device according to their tastes and the number of the imprints they could share.
Apart from that, there are some squad specific and organization-specific packages, in which they could buy a miniature communication network.
In this way, when a squad is out hunting, they can place the small communication hub in the wilderness, which covers a certain radius, in which the squad can talk freely.
These things are also categorized by the number of members that can register in the portable hub and the radius of the coverage.
This way, Sam decided to completely monopolize the industry.
In just a single Dukedom capital there will be at least two million people it estimated conservatively. If only twenty-five percent of them, registered and bought the least priced communication device, then there are five hundred thousand people which means, five hundred thousand people spending two hundred spiritual stones on it.
From each Dukedom Capital, he will get one hundred million, and ten percent will go for tax and in the remaining fifty percent will go for four major powers.
That means, in every dukedom capital, there would be at least forty-five million net profit for him, and they’re a total of Nineteen Dukedom capitals in all of Arian.
This gives him eight hundred and fifty million in net profit just from the dukedom capitals that too in a worst-case scenario.
The actual profit would be in hundreds of millions just from one city. After all, if these communication tokens are the new trend, then the most advanced their device is, the more their status shows in the public. And this is a cultivation world, people will face dangers all the time, and losing a device is not a surprising scenario.
Anyway, any person in the city can do much better than a hundred spirit stones. There is no way he would lose and the portable hubs will go like hotcakes.
Sam is not worried; he will get returns in the first week.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for Sam’s park. That is already a successful venture and it is going to be expanding. He made sixteen billion in six months in a single park. Now there are nineteen in total. Since then he has reduced his profit percentage by a bit, he is still going to make it big and even bigger.
This is not the end of it though.
Sam has finished three major projects in these six months. One of them is Sam’s city and Parks. The second one is the Communication venture.
The third one is also the second problem he noticed in this world. Transportation.
This project is the biggest of all three. It might be in terms of investments, manpower, and time is taken.
In all these aspects, this project beat the other two by an extremely large margin.
For this, Sam has taken out one of the most important part and the most sophisticated metallic beasts of the modern world.
The train.
Sam has recreated railways on this whole continent.
On the whole continent, there are some routes for people to travel from village to another, or from city to another or from one village to another city.
Sam has widened the routes and created railways. He didn’t create new routes, he just used the previous ones and laid down the tracks.
Apart from that, he didn’t connect every city and village to this.
In this world, where people live longer, one week is not even a long time period.
So, he created these railways only in some major cities and major travels.
Every Dukedom has only three major stations and the train routes cover the cities or villages only within these routes.
Even the trains that are moving from one Dukedom to another will also transverse within these stations.
If a person wants to travel from the southern star to the Imperial Capital of Orion, then he has to change the trains after traveling for every dukedom.
It might seem inconvenient for the modern people, but for these people who have to walk, of travel on beasts within the dangerous forests and some even abandon the thoughts of traveling just because they are afraid of these dangers, they can take these railways and the most important part is that these railways reduce the travel time by half when compared to the average time taken by a Level-4 beast.
After all, how many people are capable of getting a Level-4 beast as their travel companion.
