Contribution points are currently only in the initial stages of pilot implementation, with a long way to go.

According to the Special Affairs Bureau's planned schedule, contribution points will gradually replace cash in the future.

The financial system of human society was originally intended to re-integrate existing resources, achieve equivalent circulation of value and profit, and help people make optimal decisions regarding resource allocation in uncertain environments.

Now, however, the City Spire is completely self-sufficient.

The supercomputer controlling the Tianwang system can already complete optimal resource utilization,

So the financial system is becoming less important.

The emergence of the contribution point system has far-reaching implications.

Foreign news programs, while expressing envy and jealousy towards the City Spire project, vigorously criticized the City Spire's infringement of human rights.

They claimed that the City Spire was full of surveillance, with residents constantly and passively reporting their location information, and any act of resistance would be considered a rebellion against the collective.

Such a living environment is a complete replica of *Animal Farm*,

Appearing in the twenty-first century, it is simply absurd.

Western society has a deep-seated conspiracy theory complex. Those civilians, poisoned by happy education, even believe the rumors that 5G base stations can control the human brain,

Not to mention the Special Affairs Bureau actually injecting electronic chips into the back of people's necks.

For a time, rumors of "Big Brother is back" were rampant in Western society.

However, none of this is a big deal.

After the Mirage Dragon incident, Eastern isolationism became even more pronounced.

Before, they were still willing to cooperate with the Global Supernatural Alliance and other official organizations,

But now, they completely ignore the so-called accusations from the West.

What a joke.

The Killing Field Game can brew anomalies anytime, anywhere.

Star Gates to other worlds have already appeared.

Maintaining the order of human society and preserving the spark of civilization is the most important thing.

There's no time to explain what "human rights" or "freedom" are.

Regardless of how Western media exaggerates and criticizes, talking to themselves,

The Eastern City Spire project continues to advance steadily.

The second phase of the City Spire project will cover most of the original second-tier cities,

Migrating the densely populated areas of the eastern coast inland.

Moreover, many cities in the second phase of the project will have most of their volume located underground.

Obviously, this is expanding strategic depth—Star Gates to other worlds do exist on Earth.

War and turmoil are inevitable.

Coastal areas are no longer as safe as they used to be.

Even the surface is no longer as safe as it used to be.

For ordinary people, they move into the City Spire, accept unified management, use city facilities, and enjoy fair treatment.

Compared to before, they don't have to worry so much about food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and medical care—

The school district system is blurred, Ai teachers are introduced, and unified exams and score lines are implemented everywhere.

Hospitals also use a large number of intelligent machines, and even mechanized doctors.

The national happiness index has undoubtedly risen.

Even if there is anxiety about the future, ordinary people can't do anything about it.

As for the Transcendents,

Their attitude towards the City Spire is also more complex.

On the one hand, the emergence of the City Spire can effectively reduce casualties caused by anomalies, and the families of Transcendents have become much safer.

On the other hand,

Although the City Spire uses new building materials, and some load-bearing walls, beams, columns, ceilings, and other structures can withstand the full blow of a Level 15 player,

Transcendents still have too many means to cause damage to the city itself and its people.

In the first phase of the City Spire project, in addition to the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau, it is difficult for civilian Transcendents to apply for residency.

And even if they do, they will be under close surveillance at all times,

And even wear a full set of uniforms provided by the Special Affairs Bureau, which can monitor physical functions and changes in spiritual power.

After the official announcement of the completion of the Yin City Spire, many residents in the Yin City urban area moved in, and the streets seemed a lot deserted.

Li Ang refused Xing Hechou's invitation to visit the City Spire, which relieved the Special Affairs Bureau from top to bottom.

However, Chichai was very interested in visiting the City Spire. She and Wang Congshan and Liu Wudai visited the City Spire, and when she came back, she showed off to Li Ang that she had obtained a chip for honorary citizens.

(Some Transcendents are unwilling or unable to accept chip injections, so the Special Affairs Bureau will issue a USB flash drive or card containing the chip to replace the chip behind the neck.)

"It's really a lot deserted."

Li Ang walked alone on the streets of Yin City. The global anomalies caused by Shi Pi Wang greatly promoted the Special Affairs Bureau's relocation action for the City Spire.

The residents of the residential area where he originally lived have all moved away.

There are only a few pedestrians on the street, as well as patrol vehicles from the Special Affairs Bureau.

This is in stark contrast to the bustling metropolis scene of just a few months ago.

"I didn't expect everything to change so quickly."

Li Ang walked on the way to school he used to take, passing by the entrance of Experimental Middle School,

He found the middle school gate closed, and no longer heard the sound of morning reading aloud—the students in Experimental Middle School also moved into the City Spire with their parents.

Li Ang stopped at the gate of the middle school, looking with emotion at the evergreen landscape trees planted outside the school fence.

The scene of him climbing over the wall into the school flashed through his mind, as if it were a lifetime ago.

Buzz—

The Divine Power Link suddenly trembled, and Li Ang frowned slightly.

As the Lord of Flesh and Swamps, he could sense the call of believers to him in the Divine Power Link.

Like the vibration of a spider web,

The higher the energy level and the more devout the believers, the clearer their call to him.

"A message from Kerberos..."

Kerberos is a Cerebrate of the Zerg Overlord type, who appeared in the Lost World before, responsible for interrogating Ju Tianfu.

After the battle for the Gate of the Lost World ended, Kerberos was sent by Li Ang to the Gate World to be stationed on the island,

It is considered one of the Cerebrates mainly responsible for the operation of the Zerg Nest project in the Gate World.

Li Ang thought for a while, stepped on the invisible steps of the Ladder Cloud Steps, jumped up, took out the Colt revolver, and pulled the trigger towards the outer sea of Yin City.

Then he used 【Bullet Teleportation】to instantly teleport to the outer sea of Yin City,

Finally, he used divine power to shield the surroundings, preventing information from leaking,

After preparing the measures,

Li Ang opened the Divine Power Link and asked Kerberos, who was far away in the Gate World, "What's wrong?"

Since Li Ang had specifically ordered before, when communicating, the Zerg Cerebrates would only pray twice in the depths of their hearts to the great Creator, and then get down to business.

Kerberos also directly transmitted the key information to Li Ang through the Divine Power Link.

"Zerg scout bees in the Gate World have discovered signs of intelligent civilization at sea?"
