Chapter 1002: Chapter 58: The Best of Times (Extra chapter for monthly votes!)_4

But intellectuals like Gao Wen are different; they themselves are human beings and naturally can unite closely with Earth people to conspire for the development of great undertakings.

Smith told Lin Xian that since humanity started to develop climbing technology, they have never fought a war to this day, living in peace and happiness.

Using his words:

“In terms of energy, we have Miniature Nuclear Batteries, inexhaustible and endless; regarding food, the land is vast with abundance, all within sight is arable land, more food than we could possibly consume; everyone is very satisfied, without much pressure, living peacefully and happily in a harmonious community.”

Lin Xian listened and nodded his head.

This era was unexpectedly beautiful, arguably the best era among the last few dreamlands.

Listening to Smith’s descriptions of various technologies.

Lin Xian roughly surmised that the technological level of human civilization now had improved quite a bit compared to The Fifth Dreamland and The Sixth Dreamland, probably equivalent to the level of the second industrial revolution.

Actually, the restoration of civilization should have been faster.

The reason indeed lies in the sparse population… Population is the basis for industrial development; without enough labor force, industrialization is difficult to achieve.

Fortunately, in this era, steam engines and internal combustion engines have already been invented; there are also many large transportation vehicles, ships, trains already operating between major cities; as for common small household appliances, they all use Miniature Nuclear Batteries, inexhaustible and endless.

In a short while, the two of them arrived at the entrance to the village.

Smith warned Lin Xian:

“Let’s get it straight, you can come to my house for a meal, but whether or not you can stay in the village depends on the village chief’s opinion.”

“Understood.”

Lin Xian nodded.

He was all too familiar with this setup, which practically played out in every dreamland, so he said with a smile:

“Don’t worry, your village chief—I probably know him. Let me guess… your village chief… Zheng Xiangyue?”

“No,” Smith shook his head.

“Angelica?”

“No,” Smith shook his head.

“Big Face Cat?”

“No.”

“Lee Cheng?”

“No.”

“Ah… it can’t be Gao Wen, can it?”

“No.”

Lin Xian scratched his head, feeling a bit like he couldn’t back out of his bluff.

It really was the village chief’s turn to sit in the chair, so whose turn was it this time?

Lin Xian wracked his brains but couldn’t think of any other village chief candidate among the people he knew.

It couldn’t be…

Has a new character emerged from the spirited land of the East Sea?

“So who is your village chief?”

“Humph!”

When it came to the village chief, Smith was very proud:

“Our village chief is very powerful! Once when a grizzly bear intruded into the village, our village chief punched its head and exploded it with one blow!”

“The time before that, when a pack of wolves came at night, and everyone in the village was terrified… it turned out the village chief chased after the wolf pack alone with a machete! Not a single wolf escaped; they all ended up in the pot!”

“When it comes to building houses in the village, the village chief also takes charge personally, doing the work of ten people! Those thick logs can be split apart with one palm, and those thick steel plates can be torn in half by hand!”

Tear…

Upon hearing this adjective,

An image came to Lin Xian’s mind:

“Could it be… your village chief is a girl?”

“Correct.”

Smith replied with a smile:

“But she can’t really be considered a girl anymore; she should be called a woman. She’s a few years older than you! When you meet her, calling her ‘Sister’ or ‘Village Chief’ is fine.”

“No.”

Lin Xian became unsettled; how could the ages be mismatched:

“She’s older than me? Does she have blue eyes?”

Smith gasped:

“You’re not bad… could it be you really do know our village chief?”

He swallowed and continued:

“Our village chief’s name…”

“Is called Yan Qiaoqiao!”
