Chapter 375: Copying (1/2)
While Sam's city is bustling with the increased production, something else is happening in the powers near the central continent.
Half of the minor powers are gone; the rest of the minor powers are trying to get a hold of the islands that were previously under those minor powers which are eliminated.
And those thoughts automatically brought friction.
As for the major powers, they didn't care about those islands at all. They already occupied the most resourceful islands besides the central continent.
As for the major powers, they are thinking about something else.
Now that they need to send some people and restore order to the empires, the selections for the lords are being done. They are sending teams of people to recruit a suitable leader from the locals and also restore some of the nobility who are lucky enough to escape the church's elimination and survive.
The process is going in full swing. While the order might be restored in a few months, there is something else that needs to be done and that is restoring the economy.
Currently, there are no businesses that are going on, and the natural resources that are mined, cultivated, or developed by the empire are stagnant. There are no new products coming into society.
Even though the professional towers are still intact, they are restructuring, because they realized later that the reason Old One left the professional towers without any attacks is not that he is considering letting them off, rather the church has long invaded them.
Now, they are all in the process of restoring their ranks.
Even though they can handle businesses and restore some form of economic order, they need some time to consolidate. But still, people are not willing to buy something directly from these towers, for obvious reasons like price and the overbearing nature of the people in the towers.
They are not exactly suitable for the retail business.
The major powers then decided on something. After looking at the images and recordings of Sam's park and Sam's city, they are extremely intrigued. But the first thought that came to their minds is not cooperating with Sam.
Rather it is to copy Sam's work and replicate it.
They were really intrigued, interested, and curious about how the partnership with Sam could be, but their inflated egos are telling them that they can create this.
For that, the professional associations are more than happy. Because, after leaving the thunder god temple and returning back to their respective places, they used their special methods to contact the Tower heads of the western continent.
They learned that the city and parks are actually a partnership between Sam and the four towers, but Sam takes fifty percent of it.
They also said that the blueprints of the formations, inscriptions, and even the construction of the infrastructure were all designed by Sam.
They particularly stressed the fact that Sam could have done this alone if his cultivation was high enough and only his cultivation is the reason for him to not able to lay down the said designed formations.
After listening to them, the most disappointed person is actually, the artisan association head, because the tower heads who are in charge of looking after the network in the western continent, didn't possess the blueprints and designs for the grenades and other products Sam made.
As for dissecting the samples and reverse engineering them, they tried and all they got is some spoiled, burned, and exploded scraps of metals in their hands.
Like hell, would Sam let them copy his creations?
But one thing that did give them relief is that the pharmaceutical association is not completely essential in this project.
Currently, the pharmaceutical association is in its worst state, so there is no way they would include them.
After confirmed all that needs to be known, they sent someone to take the designs of formations from the former tower heads.
They brazenly used the inspection of the towers as an excuse to send someone from through the space gate that is connected to the thunder god temple.
They even visited Sam's city and met with the former tower heads in the name of questioning them for not reporting back to the association and got their hands on their blueprints.
The former tower heads, who didn't even dare to share a glimpse of designs to their spouses didn't even show a hint of hesitation and fear when handing these over to their superiors.
They felt like they don't have anything to fear as long as the associations are backing them.
They also have other thoughts and that is once the associations intervened, they dreamt of kicking Sam out of the network and taking over the whole authority.
