I'm the King Of Technology
Chapter 1667 Rewards?

Like so, many worked hard to clear the path. Thanks to the strange Baymardian equipment, they could scan what the front insides of the cave looked like, seeing where it started and how much soil had to be removed before reaching the cave's mouth. 

Of course, the volunteers and everyone else working didn't know how the Baymardians knew so much. 

All in all, the city provided 40 barrels of black powder, which was strategically placed across several hard-to-dig areas. 

And soon... 

BOOM!

The hardened soil was softened, with chunks flying into the air. 

The air was cold, but everyone was feeling hot. 

With how rigorous their job was, the work sweaters they wore at the start were already causing their armpits to soak. 

Some even took off their sweaters, drowning their faces with water from their bottles. 

Tsk. 

It was times like these that they prayed for rain. Not heavy rain, but light drizzling rain. 

At least one would feel cooler during work times. 

Although the volunteers did not expect to get paid for this, they were very motivated after hearing about the possible Baymardian vouchers that would be given to them. 

Hey! After the rescue, they will be given gift baskets. 

Some gift baskets included a 1000 Bays gift card for Baymart. (Like Walmart).

Hell! 

Do you know how many packs of toilet paper, kitchen utensils and necessities they can stock up on with that? What about buying drapes? Can they get fresh new bedsheets?

Hey! They should be able to get good school supplies for their children and even get new outdoor hiking boots too. 

But for sure, some men were thinking about the latest grills that came out in the Baymart catalogs. 

.

Other gift baskets included 1200 Bays worth of travel expenses on the high seas. 

Maybe the one some were excited about was the 7-day stay in the famous Underwater Aquarium hotel right next to the Zoo. 

Damn! Do you know how high on the tourism list that place is? 

Standing at a whopping 17th place out of hundreds it was a must-see place that people queue up to stay in. 

The voucher includes free breakfast and lunch, and 10 passes to the many aquarium, scuba diving and other in-water activities offered. 

What's more, do you see the location? It was by the Zoo! And also by the famous face-carved mountain called Mount Zion. 

There, the faces of Landon, Lucius, Mother Kim, Lucy, and Little Kora were. 

The site was surrounded by a sizable forest and involved a lot of hiking for people who liked to get away from 'technology.'

The great thing is that the underwater hotel voucher is for a maximum of 4 people. So if they had family they could go together as well.

The Voucher was valid for a year and a half only, after which it will expire. In truth, it's not a loss because even if they couldn't go, they could sell these vouchers for high money too!

Well, some vouchers included 30 free meals in the famous Gods of Olympic Restaurant. 

Some vouchers were for 9 days' worth of go-kart racing, and others offered a 3 times free visit to the Baymardian Motion Picture Studios, to see the many streets, buildings and sites used for their favorite shows and movies.

Such vouchers also included food and a chance to meet a celebrity too. 

There were vouchers to visit 'Queen Lucy's secret Gardens of Mystery,' where they would go on scavenger hunts. 

Some people have found priceless necklaces and other royal artifacts that would be seen for big bucks. 

There was also 'his majesty Landon's manhole which did the same scavenger hunts. But it required a lot more thinking as though one was in the Baymardian movie 'National Treasure.'

Good God! 

You have to know that it is so popular that several blogs and pages were created by many sharing their experience and excitement about it. 

No. 

It was a combination of the movie 'National Treasure' and 'Indiana Jones.'

There were moving walls, trap doors, nets that hooked one and took them to another floor above, and many more.

Damn!

Someone once tripped on a trap wire that sent the door closing and the walls are slimming. 

Although they knew they wouldn't die, 'death' here meant they would have to start from the beginning of their journey again. 

Bear in mind that every hour, the entire place changes its hidden traps, moving them to new positions.

Sometimes, they would see completely new traps instead.

Well, what they didn't know was that every part of the walls and floors were all trapped doors and potential threats. It's just that those in the control rooms changed which one would open and which ones would close.

There was also an underground waterway, mimicking a situation of someone swimming underground in a cave. 

This was why everyone was given a costume before the start of their adventure. And when they swam to the other side, strange brown adventure jumpsuits of all sizes hung on the walls, and to the side was a well-disguised bathroom on the side. 

There were towels for them too. 

Once changed and out standing beside the underground waterway, a strange person will appear with a riddle. There were 3 paths to take. Only one path was right.

Fail the riddle, the person will try to convince you to take any of the 2 wrong paths.

Sometimes, you know the person is trying to trick you, so you end up going to the one place they did not point at. But who would've thought the place you took was also wrong?

(:>□<:)

In the end, you replace yourself in a crazy loop that takes you back to any of the 'square 1' zones. There were 3 main starting zones. "The garden, the fake U-shaped 2-block street with houses on both sides and the elastic favorite place, the desert oasis. 

.

Daily, many people go there just to attempt the entire thing! 

But his majesty Landon was truly a crazy ingenious person who made everything super hard to a fault, combining knowledge and adventure. They wanted to cry but had no tears.

No matter how many times people played in his 'Manhole of Adventure and Treasures,' they always felt like beginners when his majesty came up with more crazy ideas. 

Did you know that just 5 months ago, he added a room called 'the Ancestor.' 

It was announced on the website that there was a hidden piece of paper that would lead many to one of his most prized treasures.

But here was the thing. The room's difficulty level was insane. Make one wrong move, and you annoy the 'ancestor' statue. 

It was only 2 months ago that the first clue on how to advance towards the statue was discovered.

The entire room had checker floors like a chessboard. Many have of course attempted playing chess to replace a way. But it was to no avail. 

Only recently did one person discover that although the squares were all the same size, a few of them made slightly different noises.

If one isn't paying attention, one would miss it since the sound difference was almost nonexistent. 

But someone worth a hearing aid would quickly do something wrong. Stepping on the floor squares with different sounds, she realized the ancestor statue didn't seem to be angered anymore. 

She was the first person to cross the sea of checker floors. 

But you know... after her attempt, many who tried the next day, found that the concept isn't working on that day. 

Hey. It looked like there were many ways to reach the ancestor statue and they just had to replace them out.

His majesty was a genius!

He made bloggers famous and rich from his Manhole. 

Some people never expected such fame and were taken aback when they got recognized during their adventure time in the manhole.

Hey. 

Some even had scheduled fan meetings and were making money from their blogging content.

Of course, the manhole in the palace was just Stage 1. 

Only when Stage 1 is completed can players access Stage 2~5 in District D.

That's right.

Landon acquired a vast land just to expand and build his manhole into a real Indiana Jones thing.

Treasures could be found in all location sites. Sometimes people would have to go back and forth between places too.

It was epic, insane, and they were all here for it!

For people who can't swim, their attire was a different color from everyone else. This way those in the control rooms could know who they were sending down.

Before playing, one must answer several questions. 

Additionally, there were zones in all sites called 'Little Manhole' for those below the age of 9. By 10, they could play the big ones. 

Don't think 10 is too young here. 

10-year-olds here already knew so much about the world like 30-year-olds back on Earth.

10-year-old people worked for their families, worked in dangerous places and even killed or injured their first man during training and mock battles.

Mind you, the coming-of-age year in Pyno was 14 (in Yodan and Terique) and 15 (in Arcadina, Baymard, and Carona). 

Additionally, if Landon didn't allow 10~13 year olds to play in the big leagues, do you know how many students would protest? 

Hey! 10~13 was like their 20~25 year period before getting married. 

They were adults and didn't like being treated like children!
