The Prince Avenue area is the new economic zone of Gill City and also the most prosperous area of Gill City today. Most of the hundreds of thousands of people are new immigrants from Sonia.
Located in the northern suburbs of the Prin Avenue area, it is the largest amusement park in the entire Gad area and even in the western region of the United Kingdom. It has the highest roller coaster in the United Kingdom. Many foreign tourists come here during holidays. Many projects in the amusement park require long queues to enter.
This weekend, except for the youngest goddaughter Grace who is only four years old, Lu Ming brought the other five godchildren to play.
But at this time, in a cafe in the amusement park, an old acquaintance was sitting opposite Lu Ming.
Rommel, the King's secret envoy, arrived yesterday from Newman, the capital of the United Kingdom.
More than ten years ago, Rommel arrived in the Western Regions as a prophet, supervising and implementing the Reston biological and chemical weapons program, which ended in a disastrous failure.
As a result, the "charlatan faction" in the eyes of the soldiers suffered a severe blow.
Rommel had left the army long ago, although he was awarded the rank of major general ten years ago, when Lu Ming was only a lieutenant colonel.
Today, Rommel came on behalf of King Henry II of the United Kingdom to meet with Lu Ming.
Looking at the noisy cafes on both sides, Rommel frowned slightly. More than ten years have passed, but his arrogant temperament seems to have not changed.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "This way our meeting won't attract any attention, right?"
Rommel took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lu Ming, indicating that Lu Ming should open it now.
This is a handwritten letter from Henry II, which praises Lu Ming's outstanding performance in the Western Regions and expresses respect for Lu Ming's decisive and courageous actions in the Gaide region today.
Of course, the protagonist of the letter is Major General Bit.
Lu Ming read the letter silently and knew that Henry II was having a hard time today.
The power of the constitutionalists reached an unprecedented high, and they demanded that Henry II recognize that the power of parliament was higher than the royal power and restore the constitutional state of the Kingdom of Grafennier more than a decade ago.
From a certain perspective, Henry II might have envied himself in the North, that kind of authoritarian state where he was the only one in power.
In the United Kingdom, Henry II never established absolute prestige. After the various factions that once gathered under Henry II entered a period of peace, they no longer needed the banner of Henry II. It was the hope of most factions to let the royal family continue to serve as a mascot.
The royalists and traditional aristocrats who gained power through the war were certainly unwilling to give up their power.
But the Kingdom of Griffinni entered a constitutional state three hundred years ago, and this way of thinking does not require enlightenment at all. Most factions and people today just want to return to normal.
Henry II was at an absolute disadvantage.
The First Control, which grew stronger during the war, was originally a military organization that bypassed the cabinet and was loyal to Henry II. Its dismemberment and weakening actually represented the decline of the royalists.
Even among the so-called "charlatans", there are probably not many organizations standing behind Henry II now.
It was in this context that Henry II tried to win over himself.
He seemed to have lost patience with the old-school figures in Augustus who had lost their motivation and were ready to retire, and placed his hopes on the ambitious new generation. Thus, he came into his sight.
In the letter, he also praised his own rescue of the Gad people, believing that this would restore the reputation of the United Kingdom. He also blamed the Rose Party for the tragic experience of the Gad people.
He hinted that if he could use the power of the First Control to defeat the Rose Party in the Gad region, he would give him the reward he deserved.
It is easy to imagine that the Rose Party is one of the most important forces of the constitutionalists. The Guede region has now almost become an independent kingdom of the Rose Party. If they can really change the royal flag, it can be regarded as a milestone victory for the royalists and reverse their disadvantage of retreating step by step.
While Lu Ming was pondering, Rommel stretched out his hand and asked, "General, have you finished reading your Majesty's letter?"
Lu Ming returned the letter, but saw that Rommel had crumpled the paper into a ball in his hand. Then it seemed to turn into ashes and merged into the small crystal ball he had been holding in his hand.
Lu Ming looked at him and nodded slightly. Compared with ten years ago, Rommel had obviously become more capable.
"Your Majesty values you so much because of my advice." Rommel looked a little helpless. "In the future I see, you are one of the key figures, and it seems that you are the most important figure. Of course, I don't believe it. Perhaps it is the result of my failed observation again... But, Your Majesty..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's give it a try." He sneered inwardly. This guy has obviously become very unconfident since the incident of the White Pagoda in the Western Regions.
Rommel frowned and said, "You are so rude! In short, I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations!" After that, he stood up and strode away.
Lu Ming looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, as if there was nothing wrong with the future he saw. It was just that he could not see the truth about himself, which completely confused the meaning of the future picture he saw.
"Father!" Eunice, who was drinking drinks with her brothers and sisters at the table next to her, immediately sat next to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you guys out to play."
At the table next to them, several boys and girls immediately cheered.
Roller coasters, pirate ships, and Ferris wheels are all popular attractions, and today is the weekend, so the lines are very long.
But the entourage around Lu Ming called the manager of the amusement park to accompany him, and the whole process was green light.
In fact, even as the King of the Northern Territory, Lu Ming always acted like an ordinary citizen when he was using positions of authority like Section Chief Wang in his territory. Now he has a good taste of privilege.
…
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to Gaston. Lu Ming took the five godsons and goddaughters to the fifty-eighth floor.
The entire floor has been renovated. The private residence of more than 3,000 square meters even has a beautiful swimming pool in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Two suites were arranged in the guest room area for the five godchildren, with the two godchildren living in one suite and the three goddaughters in the other.
After a short rest, he called his five godchildren to the game room.
This game room is not just about playing cards or expensive board games, it even has two Skylark-3 computers.
This computer, which is the size of two refrigerators and is produced by a technology company in Shengjing, Silicon Valley, is now considered a small computer and costs 135,000 yuan each.
Originally, this type of computer naturally has the government, large enterprises, famous universities, etc. as its user group.
However, Lu Ming bought it to make an electronic game console. The world's first electronic game was produced on the Skylark-3.
The game is called Space Wars, and the gameplay is very simple. It produces images through an oscilloscope, on which two players can use lasers to destroy each other's spaceships. In fact, to Lu Ming, this diagram is as simple as one drawn with a pen. It was a small program that could be implemented with just a few lines of code in the very simple programming language BASIC when he was in college in his previous life, but in this world, it is a groundbreaking revolution.
Even though the pattern is so simple, it is incredibly magical to young men and women like Little John and Eunice. They manipulate the spaceship pattern composed of light spots on each other, shooting out light spots that move towards the other spaceship little by little, to see who will destroy whom first. It is simply magical and cannot be more magical.
This game has been installed on Skylark-3 in many famous universities in the empire. It is very popular and its role in inspiring the thinking of those top students is immeasurable.
However, only Lu Ming would specifically buy the Skylark-3 as a game console. Even if other billionaires have the financial resources, they would not have the idea of using a game console.
In fact, there are more than 30 such game machines in the game rooms of His Majesty the King in the Black Mountain Palace and the Shengjing Palace, for the Qing'e and Hongluan to play for entertainment.
In fact, it also supports the computer company in which he holds the largest shares.
Seeing that the children were playing intently, Lu Ming called over little John, the eldest of the godchildren, who was sixteen years old and also Eunice's biological brother.
Unlike his other brothers and sisters, he remembered that his family was once wealthy, but also the hardships they suffered later.
"Why don't you want to go to middle school and insist on going to a technical school?" Lu Ming asked Little John.
Little John whispered, "Father, I, I don't want to go to the same school with Sonia..."
He usually seems to have autism and doesn't talk much to his parents. He will only open up when Lu Ming asks him something.
Hearing his answer, Lu Ming was slightly stunned.
At this time, the fragrance of a young girl was overwhelming. Eunice ran over and sat down next to Lu Ming, and her hands naturally hugged Lu Ming's arm again.
The godchildren all took a bath and changed their clothes. Eunice was wearing pale yellow lace pajamas and her snow-white feet were wearing fluffy slippers. She looked extremely pretty and cute.
Lu Ming smiled and liked these beautiful godsons and goddaughters very much.
After coming into this world for seventeen or eighteen years, Lu Ming knew that he had changed a lot compared to when he first came into this world.
Even today, there is a feeling that one is God.
He loved his women, Qing'e, Hongling and other people closest to him, very much, just like the love a god has for his children. Matters between men and women were just his special favor and had nothing to do with carnal desires.
I don’t know why my thinking became like this, but it is true, and it gradually became like this.
This kind of love also exists today for godchildren.
It was just a casual suggestion at first, but after they called him father, it seemed as if they really had some kind of bond.
Thinking about what Little John said, Lu Ming said, "A middle school that specifically enrolls Gaide's children will be built soon. Well, before that, you can study at the fourth-floor technical school."
"Yes, thank you, father!" Little John was extremely happy to hear that his godfather agreed.
Lu Ming glanced at Eunice and said, "Are you happy studying in that aristocratic school? If not, you can also come to Gaston's elementary school. Everyone here is your clansman, and it is absolutely safe now."
Gaston's primary school and technical school are now located on the fourth floor.
"Oh, I, I've wanted to tell my father for a long time, so that I can play with Danny every day!" Eunice was very happy, but then she thought of a question and asked in a low voice: "But, will my mother agree?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "If you want to come to Gaston Elementary School, I will tell your parents. Moreover, you can stay here from Monday to Thursday. The room I just arranged for you will be yours exclusively. It will be very convenient for you to take the elevator to school every day."
"Yes!" Eunice nodded vigorously, raised her little face and asked softly, "Father, can I tell my brothers and sisters this good news?"
Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
Soon, the children at the "video game console" were filled with laughter.
