Chapter 97 The Expo

"Welcome, travelers, to the Kingdom of Fein! Here you will experience Alexia, a city renowned as the center of world civilization, where ancient history and modern urban development are perfectly integrated, and where the trends of the entire world converge! Please follow in my footsteps, and let me lead you to witness the forefront of the times!"

A tour guide's loud shouts came from the roadside as he led a large group of people past Caesar.

"This promotional slogan is way too exaggerated," he couldn't help but think.

However, Fein did make a lot of preparations for this expo. There were even more sanitation workers on the streets than usual, and all the homeless people in the alleys and underpasses were cleared out. There was a flower bed every fifteen meters along the street, and not a single cigarette butt could be seen on the clean streets. The vendors who usually set up stalls along the way were nowhere to be seen.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a competition to select the most hygienic city of the year.

Now, you can see convoys of all sizes driving through the streets all the time. These are ambassadors from various countries who have been invited to attend the expo, and sightseeing buses with specific routes are full of tourists coming and going.

There were also many airships in the sky, covered with large advertisements, their displays were extremely elaborate.

The school started its holiday yesterday and is recruiting volunteers to be receptionists at the expo. There are academic credits to be earned, which will be recorded in the student's file.

Caesar naturally signed up, since he had nothing else to do at school anyway, and he could also visit the various exhibition areas up close as a staff member.

Now, dressed in his school uniform with a brooch pinned to his waist, he stands in the outdoor venue like a guiding NPC, ready to help these visitors at any time.

"The art exhibition hall is in Lilac Square. You can see it by walking 500 meters along this street. If needed, there is a special sightseeing bus there. The ticket costs 10 gold coins."

He was led away by a brown-skinned foreign couple, and Leon came running back, panting.
"Caesar, Caesar, hurry, there are some Surna people over here who don't speak Elo. They've been babbling on and on, and I still don't understand what they mean."

Didn't I send you a language comparison chart?

"Those things are all homophones, how am I supposed to know which one is which?"

As Leon spoke, he grabbed him and hurried over there.

He led Caesar behind a statue of a literary figure and pushed him in front of the three middle-aged women of Surna.

Iro is the world's lingua franca, the most widely spoken language, but not the only one. In Surna, many people still speak Nasa, their country's native language.

In order to facilitate some future plans, Caesar also learned a few less commonly spoken languages, which he can now use for normal communication without any problems.

"These are your tickets for the outer area. If you want to enter the Century Tower for a visit, you will need to purchase separate tickets."

Caesar explained to them in Nassan, and the three burly old women walked away, cursing and swearing in their dialect.

"Phew, finally done. It's time for a break, shall we go over there and rest for a while?" Leon said, wiping non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

"You went to the toilet three times this morning and I had to show you the way four times. What else did you do?" Caesar said, covering his forehead.

"Moreover, there have been two complaints from tourists that you tricked them into buying your unregulated health products. If this continues, you won't get any credits after two days of work, and you'll probably get a major demerit."

I thought that since Leon was an old Beijinger, I could come to him if I didn't know something, but I didn't expect this guy to be so unreliable, and I often had to ask him for help.

"Don't worry so much. I'll familiarize myself with it today, and it'll be easier tomorrow, right?"

As they talked, they arrived at a beverage stand. Many people were still queuing in front of the stand, while behind it, Mika, a girl with cat ears, was tidying up empty beverage buckets.

"Ah! Caesar, you're here, meow!" Seeing them come over, Mika greeted them warmly, put down what she was doing, poured two glasses of water, and even took out a few ice cubes from the thermos and added them in.

"Here, have some water, meow."

"Thank you."

Leon took it and plopped down on the recliner, gulping it down.

"Looks like it's working pretty well. Have you sold out of today's stock?" Caesar asked, looking at the two empty metal buckets in front of him. "Sold out, meow! What a great day!" Mika exclaimed happily. "And there are still quite a few people waiting to buy. Dad and Mom have gone back to restock. We didn't expect it to sell so well!" Mika said excitedly.
Before the expo started, Caesar, as a student club member, applied for a booth operating permit at the venue and funded the owner of Fufu Cafe to sell Gugu Tea at the booth, which he now calls "Fengda" soda.

This was his first time setting up a stall, and it was also to test whether the potential of this otherworldly cola soda was really as he thought.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

“Dad was very surprised. He didn’t expect that changing the formula would make it sell so well. If you ever start a company, Caesar, you must hire us as employees!” Mika said with a smile.

“Of course,” Caesar said.

Her statement seemed a bit strange, since the formula was still with them, yet it made it sound as if Caesar had already bought it outright.

To be honest, if an ordinary citizen of Fein saw that his formula could sell so well, he would definitely try to get a patent and make a fortune. But Mika and his family are, after all, half-orcs. If they want to start a company in Fein, then I can only advise them to forget about it.

"Um... Caesar, what about me?" Leon approached Caesar in a fawning manner.

Caesar gave him a polite smile.

"Hey! What are you two doing still resting here!"

A breathless shout came from behind, and Tess came running up, panting, with a volunteer brooch on her chest.

"We're short-staffed on the inside, come with me quickly!"

So the two of them had no choice but to follow her into the inner area.

Halfway there, I suddenly heard a cheerful shout!

"Caesar! Caesar!"

Yumilia's petite figure trotted up to him.
Today she was wearing a light blue dress and a sun hat. As she ran, her dress fluttered, making her look like a flower in the crowd.

"Aren't you supposed to be at work today?" Caesar asked, surprised that Yumilia was there.

"I took the day off today, just to come and see how you're working, Caesar!" Yumilia said excitedly, looking Caesar up and down, then added with some disappointment:

"Huh? Weren't we supposed to wear a special uniform?"

"Where did you hear that from?" Caesar asked helplessly.

He pointed to the two people beside him and said, "They are my classmates from school, and they are here with me to do volunteer work."

"Oh, hello, hello." Yumilia greeted Tess and Leon repeatedly.

Hello, Auntie?

Leon and Tess both used the name uncertainly.

"Alright, Mom, I have to go now. You can look around by yourself. Oh, by the way, there are free samples of small cakes in the ethnic specialty exhibition area over there," Caesar said.

"Really? Hmm, then I'll come see you again later. Goodbye!"

Yumilia waved to him and ran off happily.

Leon and Tess exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat strange.

They couldn't quite understand how this elf, who looked and acted just like a little girl, could raise a child like Caesar.
