Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1954 The Great Zhou City
“These dormitories are all newly built and were originally intended for our own workers.”

Looking at the excited elves, Kong Daqian smiled and explained.

“This area used to belong to the goblins, but the goblins are different in size from us humans and elves. The houses they can live in are basically uninhabitable for us, so we have to build them ourselves.”

As they were talking, Kong Daqian had already led Wright to the door of the outermost dormitory room on the first floor.

Pushing open the door, a simple space immediately came into Wright's view.

It's a very typical dormitory room, with two floors on one side and eight beds neatly stacked.

The space wasn't exactly cramped, but it certainly wasn't spacious either. However, considering it was free, Wright had nothing to say.

During this time, a large number of elves were also clinging to the door frame, craning their necks to look around.

Kong Daqian took this opportunity to explain things clearly to them.

"You can get basic necessities later, but if you want to buy other things, you'll have to pay for them yourself."

"There is a small supermarket inside the factory area, which has most of the daily necessities. If that doesn't work, you can go to the shopping mall in the city."

As Kong Daqian introduced the place, he arranged for the eight of them to have their own dormitories, thus settling the first batch of elves in.

"Put all your things in the dorm, then meet outside. I'll take you to lunch."

It's almost time.

Although many more elves haven't arrived yet, arrangements will naturally be made by those who will follow. The cafeteria has also been prepared in advance, and there will definitely be enough food.

His main task now is to show the Elf King Light around, with the other elves just accompanying him.

Before they even entered the cafeteria, the aroma of the food was already wafting into their noses, making their mouths water.

Counting the time, they were indeed hungry since morning, and now, stimulated by the aroma, their stomachs immediately began to rumble.

The elves were mentally prepared for the food of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after all, they had already experienced a lot of it in the trade market before.

Little did they know that what they ate at the trade market was just snacks, at most a bowl of ramen, while the food in the canteen was completely different.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen or twenty dishes at the food window, most of which were dishes they had never seen before, leaving the elves completely dumbfounded.

"Let's line up here for food and not bother others."

At this time, many workers, including goblins and humans, were already lining up for food in the canteen.

Of course, there are more goblins, who make up about 80% of the population.

The original plan here was to bring in more immigrants and bring in more human labor.

However, if a large number of elven laborers were to flood into this city, then their arrangement could undoubtedly be postponed, at least to give the elves some time to see how much their labor efficiency could be improved.

If the Elven workforce is sufficient, there will be no need to send additional laborers.

The goblins were no strangers to elves, and they were clearly aware that they had suffered a defeat at the hands of the elves before.

Upon seeing so many elves enter, they were momentarily stunned before lowering their heads. Partly out of guilt, but mainly out of fear that making eye contact would bring trouble.

During this time, the elves, guided by Kong Daqian, arrived at a window specially set up just for them.

It's not about giving them special privileges, but these elves are newcomers, and it will definitely take them a lot of time to get their food. Making them queue up with the other workers would be too time-consuming.

In order to improve efficiency, the window staff provide them with ready-made meal packages.

Even so, it still took quite a bit of time, and it proved to be a wise decision to give the elves a separate window.

The canteen food included meat, vegetables, soup, and rice. Depending on the cooking methods and the combination of dishes, there were almost endless combinations. It was a completely different concept from the snacks. The elves were speechless for a moment and began to bury their heads and eat their rice. Even Wright ate a lot more.

After lunch, Kong Daqian took them to a nearby timber processing plant and stone quarry for a brief visit.

The elves then went back to their dorms to wait for further instructions, while Kong Daqian called a car and took Wright into the city.

Throughout the journey, Wright showed great interest in their mobility vehicle.

However, this state did not last long, after all, the city on the technology side had too many new things for Wright.

The scale of the buildings along the way was beyond his imagination.

As it stands, Light, the Elf King, has not shown any particular attachment to greenery.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the city's environment is severely polluted, then Light, as the Elf King, will definitely have a bad impression of the city because of this problem.

And now, they have already solved this environmental pollution problem.

Urban greenery can never compare to forests. From Wright's perspective, with the issue of 'pollution' not immediately apparent, the various technological buildings and facilities are undoubtedly more likely to attract his attention.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was a completely new world for him.

This was clearly demonstrated when Kong Daqian took Wright to the nature park they had meticulously created.

Compared to the novelty and excitement he felt along the way, Wright's reaction upon arriving at the nature park was noticeably calmer, despite praising the park's abundant greenery and beautiful environment.

For Wright, it felt like Chinese people going abroad and suddenly ending up in a Chinatown—something they didn't come all the way from abroad to see...

Of course, putting that flaw aside, Wright was still very satisfied with the Zhou Dynasty's emphasis on the natural environment.

After visiting the natural park, Kong Daqian took Wright to stroll around the adjacent commercial street. After that, it was almost dinnertime, so they went straight to a restaurant for hot pot.

And under Kong Daqian's warm hospitality, Wright stayed another night here, and the next morning he even had a morning tea at the restaurant before leaving.

At this moment, even Wright had to admit that the freshly made tea in the restaurant was indeed more delicious than the tea and pastries that were prepared in advance and then delivered to the Elf King's castle.

This made Wright quite reluctant to leave.

However, he also knew that after letting his clansmen work in the city of Dazhou, it did not mean that they no longer needed to care about the development and construction of their own clan territory. He still had to take charge of the overall situation.

With this in mind, Wright ultimately declined Kong Daqian's enthusiastic invitation and took his leave.
