The contribution points system is just beginning to be piloted; there is still a long way to go.
According to the Special Affairs Bureau’s predetermined plan, contribution points will gradually replace cash in the future.
The financial system of human society is originally designed to reintegrate existing resources, achieve equivalent value and profit circulation, and help people make optimal decisions regarding resource allocation in uncertain environnts.
Now, urban towers can be self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
The supercomputer controlling the Skynet System can already achieve optimal resource utilization.
Thus, the financial system seems less important.
The ergence of the contribution points system will have profound implications.
Foreign news programs, while envious of the city towers project, criticize the city towers for infringing on human rights.
They claim that the city towers are filled with surveillance; residents must constantly report their location, and any resistance is seen as rebellion against the collective.
Such an environnt is a complete rewrite of "Animal Farm."
In the twenty-first century, it seems utterly ridiculous.
Western civilians, influenced deeply by conspiracy theories, believe even the rumor that 5G infrastructures control human minds.
Not to ntion the belief that the Special Affairs Bureau injects electronic chips into the back of the necks of people.
For a ti, the rumors that "Big Brother has returned" were rampant in Western society.
However, this is no big deal.
After the Mirage Dragon mutation, the isolationism in the East beca more pronounced.
Previously, there was still so communication and collaboration with the Global Occult Coalition and other official organizations.
Now they completely ignore the West’s so-called criticisms.
Are you kidding?
The Killing Ga can mutate at any ti,
Star Gates connecting to alien worlds have appeared,
Preserving human social order and maintaining the seed of civilization is most important.
Who has the ti to explain what "human rights" are and what "freedom" is?
No matter how Western dia portrays and criticizes, they talk to themselves.
The Eastern city towers plan continues to be steadily carried out.
The second phase of the city towers plan will cover most of the original second-tier cities.
To relocate populations from densely populated eastern coastal areas to more inland regions.
In addition, many cities in the second-phase projects will have large portions located underground.
Clearly, this is to develop strategic depth—there truly exists Star Gates to other worlds on Earth.
War and turmoil are inevitable.
Coastal areas are no longer as safe as they once were,
even the surface is not as safe as before.
For ordinary citizens, they move into city towers, accept unified managent, use city facilities, and enjoy equitable treatnt.
Compared to before, they don’t have to worry as much about food, clothing, shelter, travel, education, and dical issues—
The school district system is blurred, AI teachers are introduced, unified exams are held everywhere, with a unified score threshold.
Hospitals also adopt intelligent machinery and even robotic doctors.
The national happiness index has undoubtedly risen.
Even if there is anxiety and unease about the future, ordinary people cannot do much.
As for Transcendents,
Their attitude towards city towers is quite complex.
On one hand, the ergence of city towers can effectively reduce casualties caused by mutations, and the relatives of Transcendents have beco much safer.
On the other hand,
Although city towers use new building materials, and so load-bearing walls, beams, columns, and ceiling structures can withstand the full force of Level 15 players.
Transcendents still have too many ans to cause damage to the city itself and its inhabitants.
In the first-phase city towers projects, aside from the Special Affairs Bureau staff, civilian Transcendents find it hard to apply for residency.
Moreover, even after moving in, they are subject to strict surveillance at all tis,
even having to wear uniforms provided by the Special Affairs Bureau, which can monitor physical functions and spirit energy value changes.
After Yin City’s city towers officially announced the completion, many residents from Yin City’s urban district moved in, and the streets beca noticeably quieter.
Li Ang refused Xing Hechou’s invitation to visit the city towers, which relieved the Special Affairs Bureau greatly.
However, Chaichai is very interested in touring the city towers; she and Wang Congshan and Liu Wu Dai visited the city towers and returned to show off to Li Ang that she got the honorary citizen chip.
(So Transcendents refuse or cannot accept chip injections, and for them, the Special Affairs Bureau provides USB drives or cards with chips to replace the neck chips.)
"It’s really much quieter."
Li Ang walked alone on the streets of Yin City’s urban district, the widespread mutation triggered by the Sibi King greatly accelerated the relocation efforts of the Special Affairs Bureau regarding city towers.
The neighborhood where he used to live, all the residents have moved away.
The streets only have a few pedestrians and the Special Affairs Bureau’s patrol vehicles.
In stark contrast to a few months ago, the bustling city scene was filled with throngs of people.
"Didn’t expect everything to change so quickly."
Li Ang walked along the path he often took to school, passing by the entrance of the Experintal Middle School,
finding the school gates tightly closed, with no longer the sound of morning reading and recitation—students at the Experintal Middle School have moved into city towers with their parents.
Li Ang stopped at the school entrance, reflecting as he gazed at the evergreen landscape trees planted outside the school fences.
mories of him scaling the wall to enter the school flashed through his mind, feeling like it was a lifeti ago.
Buzz—
The Divine Power Connection abruptly trembled, Li Ang furrowed his brows slightly.
As Lord of Flesh and the Swamp, he could sense the call from followers through the Divine Power Connection.
Just like the vibration of a spider web,
The higher the energy level and the more devout the faith of followers, the clearer their call to him becos.
"A ssage from Cerberus..."
Cerberus, a Bug Nest Tyrant-type Brainworm, had previously appeared in the Lost World, responsible for interrogating Ju Tianfu.
After the conclusion of the portal world war in the Lost World, Li Ang sent Cerberus to the Portal World to station on the island,
serving as one of the main Brainworms responsible for the operation of the Bug Nest in the Portal World.
Li Ang thought for a mont, stepping on the invisible steps of the Cloud Ascending Ladder, leaping up, pulling out the Colt Revolver, and shooting towards the external sea of Yin City.
Then, using the Bullet Teleportation Technique, he instantly flashed to Yin City’s external sea.
Finally, he uses divine power to shield the surroundings, preventing information leakage.
After making preparations,
Li Ang then opened the Divine Power Connection and asked Cerberus, far in the Portal World, "What’s up?"
Due to Li Ang’s previous special orders, when the Bug Nest Brainworm communicates, it only prays briefly to the great creator before getting to the point.
Cerberus directly conveyed the key information through the Divine Power Connection to Li Ang.
"The Bug Nest Scout Soldier Bees in the Portal World have discovered signs of an intelligent civilization in the sea?"
