I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 776 - Take Off!

"Are you sure this is safe?"

Lucy looked at the massive basket in doubt.

How can this basket be able to hold up to 25 people?

Landon chuckled while looking at his entire family knock the basket multiple times as if trying to see what sort of magical basket could hold them in the air.

Mother Kim, Mother Winnie, Lucy, Little Momo, Little Linda, Grace and Lucius all accompanied him in one basket.

Of course, they were also accompanied by 2 pilots and some prominent Baymardian personnel, making it a total of 25 people in the basket.

And since this was still a launch event, Landon’s balloon would be the first to go up.

In this way, it would make those fearful and in doubt believe that it was okay.

After all, if their king could put his life and do it, then didn’t that mean that he had faith in these hot air balloons?

They were also briefed on something called parachutes a well, just in case.

Anyway, they were all excitedly waiting for Landon’s balloon to go up.

Lucy stepped into the massive basket anxiously, but when she saw how calm Landon was, she felt more and more that there was nothing to worry about.

"Don’t worry, since it’s your first time flying, it’s okay to be somewhat fearful.

But I promise you that everything will be alright."

Lucy looked at his eyes and smiled: "Yeah."

Her mesmerizing smile left Landon in a daze.

He wasn’t prepared for her attack at all!

How could anyone be this beautiful?

"You... Don’t smile at anyone else like that.

It’s too dangerous!"

"Eh?"

Landon pulled her closer and lifted her chin: "Promise me, or else I’ll carry and kiss you in front of everyone."

"Ah! ... I promise, I promise, I promise you, alright?"

"Hmmm... Good girl!"

Landon still kissed her before the crowd.

Everyone either looked up, down or sideways shyly.

Even though they couldn’t hear what the duo was talking about, they still know that his majesty was once again shamelessly stealing a kiss from the princess.

Who didn’t know that these royals love to spray what his majesty calls ’dog food’ to them?

Because of Landon, more people now like displaying love.

Be it holding hands, buying flowers or even pecking or losing their partners, many people loved the feeling of being called for.

Mother Kim for one loved how much Lucius held her hands, covered her with his coat when she was cold, teased her and did all the little things in public.

It made both of them feel young again as if they were still in their teens.

But no one could beat his majesty when it came to displaying his love.

.

"I feel like his majesty is mocking me for being single."

"Me too.

When will I find love?

Look!

All of us are still single.

So we are in the same boat."

"Who’s single with you?

Please, don’t drag me into your single’s club.

I’m almost taken, alright?"

"You’re still at the almost stage?

I’m already married with 4 kids and 13 grandkids now.

So I’m way better than you."

"But you’re just 16 years old..."

"Pui!

What do you know?

This is called planning for the future.

Since I’ve thought of it, then it will surely come to pass.

Some I’m not single."

"_"

Lucy’s entire face was so red that Landon feared that if she got any redder, her head would explode.

He chuckled while stroking her cheeks.

His little future wifey was shy.

Little Momo and little Linda rolled their eyes heavenward.

As time went by, they too got accustomed to receiving dog food from this hateful couple.

When Landon and Lucy were together, it was as if no one else in the world existed.

It was truly a hard, hard life.

Momo and Linda looked at each other as if they were communicating telepathically.

’How embarrassing!

How did big brother become such a shameless person?’

’Who knows... Maybe he was dropped on the head as a baby.’

’Makes sense.’

With that, the children quickly focused on the air balloon, and so did everyone else.

.

"Everyone, I’m Captain Ramsey and this my Co-pilot Captain Frank, and we will be in charge of piloting the balloon.

That said, each passenger still should have a parachute that looks like this there.

You all have already been publicly briefed on the parachute’s functions.

So if and only if we tell you to use them, can you do that.

Now, let’s fly!"

With that, the pilots did their thing and soon, the basket began to lift.

Lucy and the rest on the basket felt their weight grow heavier, as if some strange thing was pressing on them.

"Gravitational force!"

All of them yelled out in shock.

One should know that Lucy and the rest were teachers, the children were still in school and many of the important personnel were also overseers and other major people.

Even the overseer for the power plant was on their basket.

They exclaimed out excitedly: "Gravity, gravity... So it feels like this."

The more they elevated, the more traditional force kept pressing them down like an invisible palm from the heavens.

It was just too amazing of a discovery!

"Hahahahhahahahahahah!

Do you know?

Even if we two into the higher mountain, we won’t be able to feel the traditional difference unless we elevate.

I’ve been jumping all this while just to feel the difference, but I never did."

"Me too!

I did that so many times and almost cried when I had no results.

So I thought that maybe gravity didn’t affect our bodies that much.

But now, just look at it!

Hahahhahahahahhaha!

This is great!"

"Old woman, can you forget about that?

Can’t you see that we are actually flying?

Man can fly!!!!!"

Everyone’s eyes twinkled as they tightly held the edge of the basket.

Just looking at the faces that seemed to be getting smaller and smaller gave rise to a whole new emotion deep within them.

It was a mixture of excitement, fear, and anticipation.

Of course those below we’re also going crazy as well.

.

Everyone’s jaws dropped wide open in shock.

Their bodies trembled and their hearts kept pounding nonstop.

Even the visitors almost fainted from shock, especially the influential ones.

"They..they really did it! The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

The balloon is in the air!!!"

"As expected of Baymard, they never disappoint.

Dammit!

When will it be my turn to ride on it?"

"Oh my God!

"How did they do it?

This is groundbreaking!"

Likewise, while some people were excited, others were in a state of fright instead.

"How can Baymard create this and expect not to share it?

No way!

I have to inform my pirate brothers fast.

We gave an entire island of over 50,000 men.

This would be a piece of cake for us.

No matter what, we must have these balloons even if we have to kill everyone."

"No!

I have to leave Baymard now.

I have to inform my superiors about this.

The Temple must know!"

"_"

Just like that, the celebrations continued onwards.

Everyone who rode the balloons felt like they had experienced a whole new world.

And so this Baymard day was once again a high success.

But while everyone was in the state of enjoyment and glee... far away, some hidden forces had turned their attention to them.

Baymard was their target.
