Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 115 Mansion
【Name: Enchanting Demon Lipstick】
【Type: Magical Prop Consumable】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Effect: Absolute Command. After applying the lipstick and kissing an intelligent creature, that creature will obey verbal commands】
【Consumption: At least 100 points of spiritual power】
【Cooldown: None】
【Usage Condition: Charisma attribute greater than or equal to 15 points】
【Note: The duration and control effect of the Absolute Command depends on the difference in willpower between the kisser and the kissed. The greater the difference, the longer the duration of control and the stronger the control effect】
【Note: The Enchanting Demon Lipstick can control multiple kissed individuals at once. Either party removing the lipstick mark will break the control】
【Note: Lingering warmth of the lips, saves one person】
"This thing..."
Li Yi looked at the black-gold lipstick that appeared in his inventory, and pondered, "The effect is quite good.
Just one kiss can control other intelligent creatures, and the duration and control effect are also flexible.
Even high-level players can use it.
And there are no major restrictions, such as the kisser and the kissed must be of the same species, must be of different sexes.
Some players who specialize in charm skills should be very interested.
Give it to Mule and see if anyone is willing to buy it."
It's difficult for charm-type transcendents to develop, and their numbers are small, but those who survive and become high-level all have a few tricks up their sleeves, and the price is not a problem.

In the following days, things were calm and there were no major events.
Various organizations continued to deal with the aftermath of the Shi Bi Wang (King Corpse) mutation in an orderly manner, without releasing any new news notifications, as if they had never received a new warning from Shi Bi Wang.
Even on the player forums, no rumors circulated.
The public's attention quickly shifted elsewhere.
First, the first phase of the Special Affairs Bureau's City Tower construction project was officially completed. The tower projects in Yin City and other important cities were delivered, and the occupancy rate and factory relocation rate reached over 80%.
This news occupied the front pages of all domestic and foreign news media in a short period of time.
Yin City's City Tower started construction the earliest and was completed the earliest.
With the full support of the transcendent construction team, the total construction time was less than half a year, which can be called an industrial miracle in human architectural history.
Television reported extensively on the scientific research achievements incorporated into the City Tower project, the diligence and wisdom of the construction workers, and the joy and excitement of the relocated residents.
On short video platforms, there were also life vlogs filmed by relocated residents.
The City Tower is constructed using new building materials.
Depending on the local topography, land conditions,
The shape, volume, and number of floors vary,
With a minimum of three hundred floors and a maximum of six hundred floors,
The total area is equivalent to half of the original city's urban area.
And the space utilization efficiency is extremely high.
Between floors, they are connected by giant elevators and trams—the trams run along the s-shaped aerial track inside the city.
Each floor inside the City Tower is an urban area.
The urban area is fully equipped with residential areas, commercial areas, fire stations, police stations, hospitals, parks, etc.
The average residential area for residents is 100 square meters. Some are apartment buildings, while others are detached houses.
All residences are uniformly equipped with water, electricity, and energy systems. Furniture can be purchased and assembled independently.
All residences are state-owned, and private individuals are not allowed to buy or rent them.
For the original wealthy people, if they want to live in better, larger residences, they need to pay extremely high taxes.
In order to prevent the closed environment of the tower from causing residents to feel depressed,
The ceiling of each floor inside the tower uses projection technology.
Simulating sunlight and cityscapes,
At the same time, the artificial weather regulation system on the city streets can also simulate warm and cold winds, and even rain and snow.
The City Tower is monitored by the Skynet system, and every corner has surveillance cameras embedded in the ceiling.
All surveillance footage will be imported into the Skynet system, and artificial intelligence will be used to screen and investigate.
Throughout the entire process, the employees of the Skynet system only have terminal viewing permissions and no permission to privately transfer them, in order to ensure the privacy of the general residents.
At the same time, all residents in the City Tower need to receive chip injections—the Special Affairs Bureau's medical team will inject an electronic chip into the resident's neck.
The chip can be powered by the energy of human blood flow, and its effective lifespan can reach fifty years.
Each chip is bound to the citizen's identity information.
When citizens travel in the City Tower, take transportation, and enter and exit security checkpoints,
The location information will be uploaded to the Skynet system.
Any unauthorized removal or malicious damage to the chip will be considered a violation, punishable by fines or even criminal detention.
In most City Towers, the industrial and agricultural areas are located in the lower city.
The factories in the industrial area generally use intelligent machinery for production. Human workers are mostly in intellectual positions, responsible for regulating intelligent machinery.
The agricultural area is basically all intelligent machinery.
They work in grid-like hydroponic farms and soil cultivation farms, continuously producing vegetable crops that can be self-sufficient for the entire tower.
As for meat,
There are three ways for City Towers to produce meat products.
The first is traditional breeding farms, raising chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, and sheep.
The second is artificial industrial meat, that is, using soybean protein and harmless food additives to make realistic plant-based meat.
The third is self-proliferating meat—that is, placing animal cells in large rectangular petri dishes, providing cell culture medium, and allowing the cells to proliferate on their own.
Meat chunks are "grown" in the petri dish.
The production efficiency of such self-proliferating meat is much higher than that of traditional breeding.
The required factory area, required personnel, required resources, and pollution emissions are also much lower than traditional breeding.
In terms of taste, it is not much different from ordinary meat.
Sometimes it is even more delicious than real meat.
The design purpose of the City Tower is to preserve the seeds of human civilization in the event of a disaster.
Each City Tower has a complete industrial chain that can produce and sell its own products to meet internal supply needs.
All City Towers have several nuclear power plants, which can provide their own power when external power is cut off.
Since a large number of intelligent machines are used for production and labor in the tower, employment problems are inevitable.
City residents can choose service industries or creative jobs.
Such as entertainment, culture, sports, sales, art, etc.
In theory, the output of the City Tower is completely sufficient for all city residents to live decently and with dignity.
Even if the vast majority of residents no longer work and just live off the fat of the land, they will definitely not be hungry or cold.
However, in order to prevent bad social habits,
The City Tower Construction Committee decided to encourage employment.
They introduced a "contribution point" system. City residents who do not violate regulations and laws each month will have a fixed number of contribution points added to their personal accounts.
Contribution points are prohibited from being transferred privately, but can be used to pay for items instead of cash.
Participating in City Tower service work (such as serving as a tower tram driver, tower tour guide, visiting nursing homes, participating in fire safety drills, etc.) can earn additional contribution points.
Accumulating enough contribution points can also apply for special projects.
Such as transplanting artificial limbs,
Or even obtaining transcendent qualifications.
