Kaidan Game Train: A Chapter 1956: The Future Is Created by You

Chapter 1956: Chapter 1956: The Future Is Created by You

The Resistance Army mbers dared not approach the city center, so they got off the vehicle in advance. However, this did not have any impact on Xu Huo, since players from the Outer Zone could enter the Eastern District without needing a license or identity card. The ga might directly teleport them to the Eastern District, and there’s nothing the Eastern District can do about it; they certainly can’t go to war with the ever-flowing players from the Outer Zone.

Therefore, he didn’t need to change his appearance or alter his identity information. As long as the players in the Eastern District could recognize him as a player, it was fine.

So, when the vehicle passed a designated player duty point, Xu Huo nodded at the people inside from a distance.

The players from the Eastern District exhibited the sa kind of indifference. They didn’t even show friendliness; instead, their gazes following Xu Huo seed eager to chase him down for a fight.

This was inconsequential.

The city center was much livelier, with various places along the streets equipped with Agor Corporation’s promotional screens, displaying the words "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Agor Corporation."

The vehicle stopped in a bustling area, where enthusiastic citizens boarded to distribute small flags and pamphlets. "Just five days to go until the 50th anniversary of Agor Corporation. There will be celebration events across the city, with 20% off on food, clothing, and accommodations. You’re welco to shop in-store, plus there’s a lottery supported by Agor Corporation. The grand prize includes a tour of the headquarters and a chance to work at Agor!"

Few paid attention to the earlier part, but the last note about the lottery piqued the interest of the city’s outskirts residents on board, who hurriedly grabbed the pamphlets.

"Can every store hold a lottery?" soone queried, "How many spots are there?"

The staff distributing the pamphlets responded with excitent and pride, "Every store has one spot! This is Agor Corporation’s gift to us small businesses as a free subsidy!"

"It would be fantastic if we could be lucky enough to work at Agor Corporation!" The people on the bus discussed animatedly, "Even if we can’t work there, it’s worth visiting. I’ve never been inside Agor Corporation’s building!"

"You must be out of the loop; Agor Corporation opens to visitors periodically, but you must have lived in the Eastern District for five years to apply. If selected, Agor Corporation will cover all costs and provide several days of play passes, allowing free access to all affiliated entertainnt venues!"

This related to the welfare of ordinary citizens, and those who had lived in the Eastern District for years diligently promoted the contributions of Agor Corporation to the city to fellow passengers.

"The future of Yuquan City, created by you!" A massive human silhouette projected over the square ahead, uttering the governnt’s long-standing slogan as the mayor, representing the city governnt’s highest authority, addressed the crowd.

In this bustling atmosphere, many chose to get off the vehicle.

Xu Huo also disembarked.

Now, businesses in the city center were gearing up for the anniversary celebration. Replacing humans, flying devices, and robots were busily traversing the streets. Not only did the shop facades need redecoration, but the green plants scattered throughout the city also had to be replaced.

This city was dotted with mutant plants everywhere.

Unable to fully expand the Spiritual World, Xu Huo had to rely on Spatial Power to understand his surroundings. Although this wasn’t as convenient as Psychic Power, it was sufficient to locate players active nearby.

These freely wandering players could be locals from the Eastern District or players from the Outer Zone who had lost their ga-given identities. These individuals weren’t the main participants in the events between the Eastern District and the Resistance Army. Still, players passing the level could easily hide among the crowd with the ga’s assistance if they didn’t overtly reveal their identities.

While keeping an ear to the surrounding commotion, Xu Huo logged into a mobile Collection of Information Terminal in a mall, browsing for recent hot news in the Eastern District.

The Agor Corporation’s anniversary celebration was most extensively promoted. Since it was a significant day, the Municipal Governnt coordinated by implenting asures to reduce the costs of daily necessities like water and electricity and took the opportunity to launch an additional pre-player training session.

This pre-player training session took place once each year at the start throughout the entire Eastern District. Any family with children could register to participate, and these children were grood as players. Like in other economically developed zones, they received Evolution Potions and various supplents to nourish their bodies. If evolutionary features manifested one day, they might naturally beco players.

There was no worry for those who did not evolve naturally; the Municipal Governnt would assess the children’s various indicators to determine their suitability for evolution and decide whether to inject Evolver’s Blood. Although there was a certain failure rate, it had significantly reduced due to advanced technology, encouraging ordinary citizens to take this risk.

Moreover, children who could not ultimately beco players had other options. After all, society could not run entirely on players. They could work for the Municipal Governnt and Agor Corporation, handling tasks that players were unwilling to do and robots couldn’t accomplish, changing their living conditions in the process.

Because of the need for players, the Municipal Governnt encouraged childbirth, offering families financial and educational support alongside psychological counseling to prevent any ntal changes during child-rearing from affecting the children.

From this perspective, the Eastern District placed considerable importance on new births.

Additionally, the Eastern District had introduced artificial wombs, allowing won who didn’t wish to personally bear children to use technology to give birth to the next generation. Of course, the cost was exceedingly high.

Yet, in terms of the Eastern District’s total population, newborns weren’t nurous.

The Collection of Information Terminal contained publicly available statistics on the number of newborns over the years provided by educators. Xu Huo followed the posts to find related papers discussing the persistently high miscarriage rate in the Eastern District. Many won experienced natural miscarriages after conceiving, and the strengthening of both parents did not reduce this miscarriage rate. The conclusion reached was that environntal changes had resulted in this unique genetic self-screening, with naturally miscarried children being naturally screened out.

The papers also provided specific experintal data, focusing on tests conducted using mutated animals. It confird that most naturally born children were exceptionally robust or inherently carried a mutated gene, allowing them to bypass natural screening, while a few who neither had gene mutations nor were weak managed to be born due to sheer luck.

Xu Huo found the laboratory conducting this study and discovered that both it and the experts who authored the papers were under Agor Corporation’s banner. Subsequently, he reviewed the registered hospitals in the city and found that virtually all licensed hospitals were operated by Agor Corporation, with private clinics prohibited.

Monopolizing healthcare wasn’t surprising, as many zones implented corresponding asures to effectively control population numbers and players, but the persistently high miscarriage rate in the Eastern District was notably unusual. Despite the harsh living conditions in the Western District making it difficult for children naturally conceived by unhealthy parents to survive, so small clinics’ common tasks were not to diagnose or prescribe dication but to perform abortions for those unable to raise their children.

Searching through past governnt decrees, no policies limiting population growth were found; there had always been encouragent to increase birthrates.

But the accessible decrees were all post-Eastern and Western District divisions. According to so insights revealed within the ga, this division was forced, and since then, the governnt has been largely under Agor Corporation’s control. Prior data would be impossible to access on public platforms.
