Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 828 Of Course!

In an office in the department of education of Rodu, a stern-looking official was appraising Byron with a concerned look on his face as he said, “Master Byron, His Majesty has approved of the implementation of the decimal system, but it still hasn’t been approved of to be taught in schools. That’s going to create a massive obstacle in our attempt to promote the system. Students are going to focus more on the hexadecimal system as that what’s going to be tested in their exams, and they’ll neglect learning about the decimal system as a result.”

Byron turned to the official with a calm smile, and replied, “I anticipated that this would happen. The decimal system has only truly received widespread attention from the scholars of the Roth Empire in the past three months. Even though we’ve proven the superiority of the decimal system, it’s still a newcomer to the field of mathematics, after all. Presenting a new system or concept to the world of scholars will inevitably be a lengthy process; we have to prepare to be in it for the long haul, perhaps for five years or even a decade.”

The official’s brows remained tightly furrowed as he said, “But this is a fantastic opportunity for us, seeing as we’ve just won the debate. If we get delayed for too long, the conservatives may gradually minimize the influence of the outcome of this debate; that would be very detrimental to our implementation of the decimal system.”

“No, winning this debate has been a vast stroke of fortune for us. It signifies the first victory of the revolutionaries over the conservatives, and Fitch has also given up on the conservatives to learn the decimal systems. He will undoubtedly guide more brilliant young scholars and mathematicians down the same path.” Byron shook his head with a smile as he said, “What our department of education has to do next is to set up bases to promote the decimal system in all of the schools. All of the schools are still teaching in the hexadecimal system, but we can make this a selective class that children can take if it strikes their interest. That way, more and more children will be able to come into contact with the decimal system.”

“That’s a great idea!” The official’s eyes immediately lit up.

Byron nodded, and continued, “You go and draft up a plan first. Tally up how many schools in Rodu we can establish such bases in, then determine how many teachers and how much expenditure would be required to support such a project. After verifying all that, you may begin the process. I’ll be personally overseeing this project.”

“Yes, Master Byron.” The official quickly departed.

Byron looked out at the old tree outside the window. The final leaf on the tree branch was struggling to hold on in the face of the fall wind with all its might, looking as if it were going to fall at any moment.

“I hope I can live to see the day when the decimal system takes the place of the hexadecimal system across the entire Roth Empire...”

...

West of Rodu, on the racecourse of General Barkly’s manor.

A tall and broad young man rode atop a black unicorn and galloped around the racecourse a few times before drawing to a stop and dismounting from his steed. He casually tossed the reins to a servant who was waiting nearby, receiving a hot towel with which he wiped his hands in exchange. He then turned to a black-robed young man standing off to the side with his head bowed, and asked, “What is it?”

The young man stepped forward, and replied in a hushed voice, “Young Master, according to the information that our subordinates just received, the man who won the best dish award during the royal banquet...”

“Has this information been confirmed?” A cold and sinister expression immediately appeared on Timothy’s face upon hearing this.

The young man hurriedly nodded, and replied, “Yes, the information comes from a reliable source, and many people have tried to research him ever since he made a name for himself in Chaos City. As such, his identity has been confirmed by multiple sources.”

“Gould, did you think I wouldn’t find you just because you changed your appearance and learned to cook?” Timothy clenched his fists as he spat through gritted teeth, “Kill that bastard, then find Ophelia and bring her back to me!”

“Yes!” The young man cupped his fist in a respectful salute before quickly departing.

...

“You idiots! How many times do I have to say this before it’ll get into those thick skulls of yours? This is how you connect this line. Otherwise, even if the formation commences operation, we won’t be able to set the wooden giant into motion!

“Do you think I don’t know about the limitations of these formations? Do you think I’m unaware of the fact that the wooden giant can only unleash a single punch before it exhausts its power supply? If I could iron out all of these kinks on my own, what would I need all of you idiots for?!

“Sigh, all of you truly are idiots, idiots! IDIOTS!!”

Within the southwestern courtyard of the royal palace, there were all types of wood and crystals littered all over the ground. Yuri was standing among the piles of materials, looking at the formation masters he’d gathered with a disappointed look on his face.

After a long silence, an elderly man finally suggested in a feeble voice, “Your Highness, perhaps we can switch to energy stones of a higher caliber as the power source...”

“You can try that.” Yuri nodded in response.

“Boom!”

10 minutes later, a loud explosion rang out, and the resulting shock waves plastered the half-dead elderly man onto a nearby wall. Yuri heaved a faint sigh as he said, “Did you really think I wouldn’t have thought of such a simple method myself, you old idiot? If the energy stones contain more power than the limit of what the formation can handle, then it’ll explode as soon as it’s set into motion.

“Didn’t Father say that all of you were the most exceptional formation masters in the entire empire? I’m really struggling to believe that that’s the case now.”

Yuri heaved another sigh as he looked at everyone with disappointment in his eyes.

...

After changing into his male attire, Blour picked up Anna from the restaurant in the morning, and then took her on a trip around Chaos City before taking her back to the city lord’s castle.

The horse-drawn carriage stopped on the side of the street near the city lord’s castle, but Blour and Anna didn’t disembark from it.

There were two employees from the city lord’s castle plastering a new notice onto the noticeboard, and all of the curious passersby gathered around to see what the notice was all about.

One of the passersby began to read in a loud voice, “From this day forth, all wandering elves who are willing to settle in Chaos City will be granted citizenship and protection following a background check. On top of that, the city lord’s castle will severely punish any groups or individuals that pose a threat to the inhabitants of Chaos City...”

“They’ve finally found a sanctuary...” A smile appeared on Blour’s face, and he simply couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart as he looked at the notice on the noticeboard.

“Uncle Blour, does that mean everyone will be safe now that they’re living in Chaos City? They don’t have to worry about bad people taking them away anymore, right?” Anna asked as she looked up at Blour.

Blour nodded with conviction as he replied, “That’s right, Chaos City will be a safe haven for wandering elves from now on. They’ll be safe as long as they come to Chaos City.”

“That’s great!” A vibrant smile appeared on Anna’s face.

“Indeed, it certainly is,” Blour replied with a smile.

...

“Did you hear? A chef from our Chaos City won the best dish award during the king’s birthday banquet!”

“Really? Could it be Head Chef Beate from Ducas Restaurant?”

“Beate didn’t even receive an invitation; how could he have possibly won the best dish award? I heard yesterday that the one who received the award was the owner of Mamy Restaurant.”

“Seriously? How about we go to his restaurant for a meal today?”

“Of course!”
