I'm the King Of Technology Chapter 1881 An Unexpected Guest

Chapter 1881  An Unexpected Guest

So excited?

(^~^)

Many chuckled lightly in their hearts when seeing Yaya's fidgety and excited reaction.

It reminded them of how they too reacted when first stepping into a hot air balloon. Soon, the air balloons reached a steady height on-air flights, and the pilots then made announcements, permitting them to now do as they pleased. This was Yaya's cue to sit in her basket. As for her luggage, it was in another basket. And like that, Yaya had her first Hot Air balloon experience, not knowing that Baymard had even better flight machines available to the public.

"What a beautiful Night."

Yaya gazed out at the endless expanse of sky. For the first time in what felt like ages, she allowed herself to feel hopeful. Whatever challenges lay ahead, she would face them with this newfound sense of freedom and possibility. The hot air balloons carried her towards a future unknown, but one filled with the promise of sanctuary. The reason why she was rescued with hot air balloons was because aircrafts, especially choppers, made a ton of noise, which isn't great for this stealth mission. A group of 3 military Baymardian s.h.i.+ps were waiting for their return in the waters just outside the empire of Abian. It was indeed super risky to be in Morg waters, but with their technology, whenever they sense skips, they sail in the opposite direction, keeping their presence masked. Like so, the mission to rescue Countess Yaya was nearing completion. And while Yaya was ecstatic about seeing Baymard, Landon had just gotten a letter that another guest will also be arriving at Baymard, any time now. Landon looked at the letter in disbelief, reading it over 20 times to ensure he didn't see it wrong. (0_0)

'System, am I dreaming?'

[Host, would you like me to give you an electric shock to make sure you're awake?]

'_'

…

Well, he deserved that.

Who asked him to talk to the system as if they were good buddies? This b.a.s.t.a.r.d always knew just what to say to make his tongue click.

'Breathe in, Landon, forget about the b.a.s.t.a.r.d in your head.'

Landon rarely gets terrified and happy at the same time. Reading the letter over and over again, he felt he was sitting on needles.

What was she like? Would she accept him? Landon didn't know when he stood up, but he was already pacing back and forth, murmuring to himself like a mad scientist.

"No!" He exclaimed, with fisted palms. "No! I must make my Mother-in-law's welcome a memorable one… But the question now is… when will she be arriving?"

Looking at the note, Landon didn't have the heart to burn it away. With a flick of his wrists, the note appeared in his s.p.a.ce.

What safer place is there than the system's s.p.a.ce?

For now, he didn't want anyone to know about his mother-in-law's coming just yet. Think of it as giving Lucy and his family a big surprise.

From Beri's letter, it seems his mother-in-law had long departed for Baymard, and should arrive here sometime in late Summer. Landon felt it unfortunate, feeling that if he knew of her existence since, he would have long placed a tracker on her, so he can keep her safe if any troubles come her way during her voyage.

Of course, amid his happiness, came fright.

Who wouldn't get sweaty when thinking of their mother-in-laws first visit?

Landon also wanted to keep this matter private because although BERI stated in his letters that he was 70% sure she was Lucy's mother, there was still that 30% that implies she might be an imposter.

What was the point of hyping Lucy up, only for her to later realize that the woman in question was an imposter all along?

Sorry, a DNA test must be in order.

Her saliva, hair and even her blood get tested before he can ever bring it up.

Thank G.o.d for science and technology. Do you know how many families have been saved by doing DNA tests? .

One must understand that in the past, scheming maids and servants used to switch n.o.ble children with theirs. But ever since DNA testing became a thing, the crime rate concerning birth switching has drastically dropped. And just last year, Baymard released the famous DNA kit that was still selling out like crazy in pharmacists throughout the UN empires. n.o.bles now tested their newly born children not once, but 3 times in 6 months, in case someone switches them later.

After a year, the baby's facial features are more defined, making it hard for anyone to mistake them for any other child.

Pregnancy kits are also popular, and easy to use since all you have to do is pee on a stick. Before, one would have to call for a traveling barefoot doctor in the peasant regions to confirm pregnancy. Most people find out late. Don't think this was a good thing because if they had known earlier, they would have at least taken it easy when working in the fields or doing ch.o.r.es in order to prevent miscarriages.

A large majority of women miscarried on their first or 2nd pregnancies. The earlier you know you're pregnant, the safer the pregnancy period for you.

What's more, people used to pay half their monthly wages to greedy barefoot healers just to confirm pregnancies.

Many times, other village women and even midwives can tell another woman is pregnant, but getting a barefoot doctor ensures they also get the right herbal potions they must drink monthly.

Although the barefoot doctors were pricey, they also gave concoctions after payments. It's just that the price for these concoctions are also separate from the price it costs for the doctors to give a detailed examination on the fetus. These healers can read veins and other ancient techniques to observe the internal workings of the body. What diets they need? Are they so starved that their fetus will not survive? Dehydration, trauma, you name it.

Don't sleep on these ancient healers. It was quite amazing how accurate their consultations were. The only major concern was their methods of treatment that sometimes looked like torture rather than treatment.

Again, what limited them was technology, because even if they could make educated guesses and accurate speculations from the symptoms and from their testing methods, they could only reach a certain layer of the truth since they can't very well see inside the body with scans and other modern medical devices.

In the end, Baymard's health kits not only made the lives of peasants simpler, but even healers across Hertfilia found used these kits too.

After much thought, Landon's eyes narrowed deeply.

"DNA test… I must get close enough to her to get her samples."
