"Announcement: Players in Huayi Kingdom with a level of 10 or higher, who meet relevant attribute requirements, can collect assessment level forms at their local government household registration department. Specific details are as follows..."
The next day, a joint announcement from the Ministry of Defense and the Political Affairs Council stirred up a storm in Huayi Kingdom! Countless players began to flock to local government departments.
At this time, the number of 'Tiandao' players in Huayi Kingdom had reached 1.9 billion, accounting for 95% of the total population, and the number of players who had reached level 10 or higher was as high as 1.76 billion!
Such a massive base was also a significant test of the government departments' efficiency. For this reason, local governments were working overtime every day to compile data.
Although players meeting the attribute requirements were rare, local governments were still compiling data for everyone, regardless of whether they met the requirements or not.
The benefits of this approach were the collection of extensive data on the population's activities in 'Tiandao,' the discovery of talented individuals, and the maintenance of social stability through supervision and management.
The Dragon Palace Building now received no less than two to three million confirmed assessment applications daily. The Wudao Pagoda in Fengle Village could only process about a million people a day. Combined with the military and police personnel and local teams who had remained, the entire Fengle Village was crowded.
To alleviate the congestion, the expert groups in Fengle Village had specifically constructed hundreds of apartment buildings, all for rent, and all connected to the Refining Spirit Pagoda and Wudao Pagoda.
"It's a pity that one has to reach level thirty-five to open national borders. Otherwise, we could have made a fortune from these foreign visitors," Ye Yun said with a hint of regret, looking at the prosperity of the village.
"Wait a minute..." Ye Yun suddenly thought of Joel and Manlin, the two foreigners. How did they get to Fengle Village? With this question in mind, Ye Yun re-entered the instance, as there were simply too many people.
The three squares of the Secret Realm Instance, Wudao Pagoda, and Refining Spirit Pagoda were now utterly crowded.
As for Wang Chen's development, Ye Yun had thrown a trillion gold coins at him! Apart from improving his talent, the remaining three hundred billion gold coins were all used to purchase attribute points. Of course, all of this was contingent on Wang Chen signing the 'Tiandao Contract' with Ye Yun.
The 'Divine City Revival' quest had no further prompts since returning from the Mountain Sea Realm. Ye Yun didn't know if it was due to insufficient level or some other reason, but it had simply disappeared from Ye Yun's quest panel.
"Fuck! Are our intelligence personnel eating shit? Why did we only find out about such a major event when the official announcement was made?" In the Pentagon building in the United States, an angry voice echoed from the President's office. Several assistants stood at the door, trembling.
"Mr. President, I believe we need to request Huayi Kingdom to release relevant information. After all, the game is virtual; how can it be so connected to reality?" Similarly, a man looked at President Jorlanden, who was pacing around the office in a fit of rage, while sitting on the sofa.
He was the new Secretary of Defense of the United States, Telxun, a world-renowned arms dealer!
"Telxun, make arrangements. At two in the afternoon, summon the head of the task force for a meeting! Huayi Kingdom has now opened up to its citizens, which means they will soon be able to manifest their strength on a national scale. At that time, their overall quality and combat power will far surpass ours!" Jorlanden, after a considerable while, calmed down and returned to his presidential seat before speaking.
"Also, control the export of grain a bit. I don't know what Huayi Kingdom is thinking; they've suddenly increased grain imports by 200%! Their grain reserves now exceed 50% of the world's total!"
They naturally didn't know that Huayi Kingdom was purchasing so much grain because of a single sentence from Ye Yun. Thus, Huayi Kingdom's grain imports were like an opened floodgate; they would acquire any available stock.
"Mr. President, you don't need to worry too much. After all, according to their annex, there are attribute requirements to manifest strength. I believe the number of people in Huayi Kingdom who can meet these requirements will not exceed five percent," Telxun said, trying to comfort his old friend.
Task Force Captain's Exclusive Office.
"Get lost! Get lost! How could they do this! Did all our more than two hundred billion gold coins go to waste?" Mia Luo stormed into the office, her anger intensifying as she looked at Tygus, who was sitting in the captain's chair.
The task force captain was no longer her; it had been replaced by Tygus. His uncle, the Secretary of Defense, had been removed from his position due to the recent loss of over a dozen military bases. If Mia Luo hadn't used the task force's gold to strengthen herself earlier, she would likely have been kicked out of the task force by now.
"Darling, there's no need to get angry about this. It wasn't us who decided to purchase that information in the first place, and it wasn't our money that was spent," Tygus said, standing up and embracing Mia Luo's lovely figure.
"Even so, I'm still very angry. I always feel like I've been left behind," Mia Luo said, not appeased by Tygus's comfort.
"Haha, here, let me show you the results of my efforts these past few days." Tygus turned and handed a document on his desk to Mia Luo.
"Regarding the integration of the Eastern Pact Nations' 'Tiandao' team and the 'Polar Bear' team, the concept of forming the 'Dragon Slayer Legion'." Mia Luo's eyes widened as she looked at Tygus. She thought she had been radical enough, but she didn't expect this guy to be even more proactive than her.
"Heh heh, when the Polar Bears came over last time, their captain gave us a secret letter," Tygus said with a faint smile.
...
India, Sakura Country, Britain, Delburg, and over a dozen other countries gnashed their teeth as they looked at the notices posted high on the websites of the Ministry of Defense and the Political Affairs Council, but more than that, they felt a profound sense of helplessness.
This was because the information only stated that in-game strength could be manifested in the real world once a certain level was reached, but it did not provide specific details.
However, these were not enough to make them give up any opportunity to suppress Huayi Kingdom. After all, they had their big brother, the United States, leading the way.
While various countries were hotly discussing Huayi Kingdom's internal notification, a news report emerged from the British Empire.
"Is Huayi Kingdom's Dragon Palace crazy? They spent 430 billion US dollars just to acquire 'Tiandao's' Julin Machine?"
"Britain's nutrient solution production machine was acquired at an inflated price by Huayi Kingdom, making Britain a large profit!"
...
However, these news items were drowned out amidst the countless reports mixed with Huayi Kingdom's notification.
The politicians and commoners of various countries were now more concerned about whether there was any way to enter Huayi Kingdom's 'Tiandao' and manifest their strength in advance.
After all, they didn't know when their own countries would appear with a Wudao Pagoda.
As for substantive suppression, they dared not do so at present, because Huayi Kingdom's domestic news was constantly broadcasting the situations of players who had manifested their strength from 'Tiandao.' It could be said that in these past few days, Huayi Kingdom's martial artist population was increasing by millions every day!
