Chapter 117: Sacred Star Academy
"What do you think the Island Owner's purpose is, and what will he do?" Leader Yusuf asked again.
Upon hearing Leader Yusuf's question, the Teachers pondered, trying to find a reason for Lein's visit. They had previously attempted to send a direct invitation to Nita to have Lein attend the Academy's opening ceremony, but at that time, Lein had other commitments and couldn't attend.
Now, upon hearing that Lein was coming, and without prior notice, they were puzzled and couldn't pinpoint a reason for his sudden visit.
"From my observation, the Island Owner is coming for a routine inspection. He doesn't want any evil seeds like the Blood Race to emerge in a power organization like our Sacred Star Academy," said a Teacher after thinking for some time.
Lein was known for the freedom he granted to all the residents on his island. However, with that freedom came certain boundaries they had to adhere to, such as fairness, refraining from causing destruction or coups, and upholding humanity. As long as an organization followed these principles, they wouldn't face severe consequences like disbandment.
"I think the same. We don't need to be afraid because we haven't done anything that violates the Island Owner's rules," agreed another Teacher.
Several other Teachers nodded in agreement, signaling that they shared the same view, believing that Lein's visit was for an inspection to prevent the rise of the Blood Race.
"I also have a suggestion to prepare a grand welcome when the Island Owner arrives. It would be great if one of our academy's students received something from the Island Owner," suggested another Teacher.
Hearing the Teacher's suggestion, the others concurred. They needed to showcase the achievements they had made since establishing the Sacred Star Academy.
"Alright, let's proceed with that plan," Leader Yusuf concluded.
"Mr. Yosep, please gather all the students to welcome the Island Owner. Also, ask some of the top students to perform a brief demonstration."
"Teacher Dian, please assist in organizing the academy grounds, defenses, and facilities so that everything runs smoothly during the welcome ceremony."
"Mr. Chai Lu, I entrust the security of the academy and its surroundings to you."
Leader Yusuf made decisions and assigned tasks to the Teachers in front of him. Of course, he had his own tasks to assist in the preparations for the welcome ceremony.
In this way, Akademi Bintang Suci is currently very busy preparing a welcoming event for Lein, who will arrive in 20 minutes.
Back at Rudi's Restaurant, Lein had already finished his meal. After paying at the cashier, he continued on his way to his next destination, Mall Melati. Mall Melati is one of the shopping destinations for the upper class and is also the largest mall in Kota Kehidupan, owned by Lein. As the owner of the island, it would be a pity if Lein didn't visit at least once in his lifetime.
Soon, Lein's car was smoothly driving down the main highway without any obstacles. Due to the vast size of Lein's island, the city roads were very wide, preventing traffic jams. Additionally, many public transportation vehicles could hover slightly above the ground, significantly reducing traffic congestion on the main asphalt roads.
Furthermore, for long-distance travel, the best option was to use small teleportation portals instead of public transport. However, it all depended on the need, as some content creators or ordinary people deliberately used long-distance public transportation to enjoy the scenery along the way.
The journey to Mal Melati did not take long, only 3 minutes from the location of Rudi Restaurant. Upon arrival, the driver parked the car in a large parking area. Lein then stepped into a large building that had 50 floors. Yes, this is the largest mall in the city of life, Mal Melati.
Lein walked toward the Melati Building casually, and as usual, there was a guard at the entrance with a screening device. Everyone who passed through had to go through this door to prevent anyone from carrying dangerous items like bombs and destructive weapons.
"Welcome, Mr. Lein," the entrance guard greeted respectfully as Lein approached.
Lein politely walked through the screening door and passed it. Then he stepped into Mal Melati, his eyes immediately drawn to the magnificent and futuristic interior design. In the center of the atrium, light from the upper floors penetrated down to the ground, reflecting the bright colors of holograms floating in the air.
These holograms displayed various interesting information, such as the latest discounts, directional guides, and interactive advertisements that looked so real they almost seemed touchable.
Each floor in this mall had a different theme, ranging from modern fashion on the first floor to advanced technology on the upper floors. Shops were lined up neatly along the corridors, offering a wide range of items from luxury clothing to the latest gadgets. Lein walked slowly, enjoying every corner and hallway he passed, occasionally stopping to examine items that caught his attention.
"It's true, to facilitate people's access to trade. Their businesses have also seriously developed," Lein muttered to himself. He had anticipated this from the beginning, not to make it difficult for other rulers to open businesses. If these small rulers were hindered in opening businesses, the city's development would be monotonous, relying only on himself to grow.
Look at it now; even some of the shops Lein passed were selling combat items like Skill Books, Combat Equipment, Various Weapons, and other items related to the outside world. Previously, humanity was limited to making weapons like pistols, cannons, arrows, and other common weapons. But now, some laser weapons had started to appear.
All this technology, of course, came from the racial realms in the Power Player system. Naturally, those races had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and possessed the latest and most solid technology. Meanwhile, the human race in Alam Langit Ilahi was like a newborn baby and needed the help of other races to develop faster.
"Let's continue..."
Lein said to himself, continuing his journey through every corner of the mall.
The bustling atmosphere of the mall gave a lively impression, with various conversations and footsteps echoing around. There were families gathered for shopping, children running towards toy stores, and couples enjoying time together.
