CHAPTER 236: CHAPTER 207: FIERCE COMPETITION IN THE CITIZEN SELECTION!

Lin Ke rode Little Lucky, landing in the villa district.

Even the residential areas were divided, with single-level apartments, duplexes, and villas.

And in the single-level apartments, there were studio apartments, two-bedroom and one-living room, three-bedroom and one-living room, etc., to fully meet various needs.

Absolute equality is unacceptable.

If everyone lived in the same house and led the same life, then hard work would have no meaning.

The equality that Lin Ke wanted to offer was to provide equal treatment for equal work and effort, impartially and without bias.

Of course, the current villas were purely a benefit for followers.

"Gaa gaa gaa!"

Little Lucky landed on the balcony of a villa, crowing twice.

"Knicks, Lolita, come out!"

Lin Ke called out.

After waiting for five minutes, Knicks and Lolita came out, their clothes disheveled and hair in a mess, with Lolita’s cheeks still flushed.

"Ahem, well..." They were momentarily at a loss in front of Lin Ke, awkwardly coughing before saying: "By the way, Knicks, is the hospital ready?"

Knicks showed no sign of embarrassment, his ears drooping at the back of his head: "Yes, Mr. Lin Ke, the nurses are in place, and my two apprentices have successfully taken the positions of [Doctor] and [Pharmacist]. Everything is ready."

"Great, how about the shopping center, Lolita? Are the managers and staff in position?" Lin Ke asked Lolita.

"Yes, handsome Young Master." At this moment, Lolita was gazing affectionately at Knicks, extremely gentle, which even softened her demeanor towards Lin Ke.

Lolita and Knicks got together just a few months ago! They’re even living together!

Lin Ke was quite pleased that they managed to be together.

Though it’s said that Knicks inherited a rabbit’s famous three-second trait quite well.

Of course, Lolita didn’t mind.

They are very happy.

"Alright, tomorrow, we’ll start the citizen selection. Prepare well here."

Lin Ke gave some instructions and reminded them of a few things to be cautious about.

Knicks and Lolita listened intently, knowing that once citizens started arriving, it would be extremely busy, and both the hospital and the shopping center were crucial.

Next is the city hall where John is located.

City hall, hospital, shopping center...

These innovative and practical building names were all creations of their Young Master Lin Ke!

As followers of Lin Ke, they must not bring disgrace to him!

"Right, Knicks, any insights on your latest skill?"

Lin Ke asked Knicks.

One month ago, Knicks had reached level seven [Doctor], but his third skill was still elusive.

His first skill was Herbal Healing, the second was Disinfection and Detoxification, and he was pondering his third skill.

His [Poison Master] first skill was Gluesap, derived from the toxicity of Glueleaf, the second skill was Red Smelt, derived from a snake venom causing continuous burn effects.

"Thanks to the microscope invented by Mr. Lin Ke, I recently discovered a prominent calming factor within clover, which I’m considering for skill construction."

Knicks explained: "In medicine, it can calm and focus patients, solving Lady Antova’s insomnia. For attacking, it can make the enemy drowsy..."

Sleep!

Lin Ke nodded slowly, recognizing Knicks’ idea; these two skills could indeed be very useful.

"Alright, then I’ll go check on the citizen selection. Make sure to take a look too and ensure no mistakes."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

...

Outside Parrot City, the registration point for Great Wilderness City.

The registration point was originally supposed to be inside the city, but the street was completely jammed with people.

So John had to move the registration point outside the city.

This led to long lines forming outside the city; if not for Garoce personally leading the army to maintain order, a riot might have broken out.

Under Garoce’s direct supervision, the registration for Parrot City proceeded in an orderly fashion.

It wasn’t just Parrot City; the entire territory of Azanen was packed with people.

Azanen is vast, roughly the size of a province in Lin Ke’s previous life, yet it only has a handful of cities.

And there were nearly two million people applying!

Great Wilderness City could ultimately only accommodate around one million people.

And ninety-nine percent of the applicants were ordinary citizens and vagabonds, with only a small portion being fallen nobles, professionals, and other races.

This showed the attraction of Great Wilderness City.

Of course, a crucial factor was the newspaper descriptions.

The registration lasted for two whole days, and when it ended, the staff were exhausted, having to tirelessly deliver the application forms to Azaenn Castle.

At that moment, watching the mountain of application forms outside the castle, everyone was speechless.

Ultimately, Lin Ke clapped his hands and said loudly: "Alright, let’s get started. Let’s try to complete the selection in two days."

He looked at one of his followers: "Laplace, please."

Laplace, now grown to be very handsome, nodded upon hearing Lin Ke’s command, then walked to the mountain of application forms and spread his arms wide.

"Buzz..."

A force of the [Mathematician] emanated as the then-level-twelve Laplace, with Lin Ke’s help, waved his hand, releasing a swirling stream of characters from above his head.

y=ax

y=ax+b

y=ax²+bx+c

The three equations sparkled, emitting waves of mental shockwaves to the outside world.

This time, it was Ove’s turn, standing behind Lin Ke.

Ove tapped the Thunder Staff, causing small magnetic particles and metals to rise from the ground, attaching to each application form.

As a legend, a mere few million application forms were quite manageable.

"Swish swish swish——"

One by one, the application forms flew to Laplace.

Laplace just scanned each form once before reviewing all the contents, then quickly verbalized his findings.

"Approved."

"Department of Agriculture."

"Department of Industry."

"Rejected."

"Department of Law."

"Approved."

"City Hall."

"Rejected."

...

Forms flowed like water past Laplace, with various names spilling from his mouth, then the forms flew to others nearby.

Laplace merely glanced over the content of a form, quickly determining if a person could peacefully become a citizen, what job suited them, and then passed them to others for further selection.

The Department of Industry was led by Watson and other workers, the Department of Law by Bald Jack and his men, City Hall by John and some clerks.

The Department of Commerce was overseen by Lady Heishan and her trained subordinates, the Department of Culture and Entertainment by Lolita, Lamiel, Sophie, and the Azanen troupe, and the Research Department by Granny Hisai and her team of researchers.

They needed to initially sift through these application forms to identify the talents they required!

Regardless of whether they were professional talents or common talents!
