Eternal Night

Chapter 395 Please Recharge

(PS: I forgot to post it on time.)
Wu Xianxiao walked excitedly towards the town of the Land of Redemption, but not long after entering the town, his brisk steps became heavy.

The mourning hall, paper money, mass, mourning...

In the battle when Chu Minghao was rescued, a total of more than 10,600 humans entered Gaia. When Wu Xianxiao returned to Gaia, the number of people who returned was counted to be about 1,100.

The death toll and missing rate in battle reached almost nine-tenths!
Everyone knows that if you go missing on the weekend, it would be better to pray that you die in battle. At least if you die in battle, you will only feel a brief pain. If you go missing but not dead... that would be truly terrifying.

Therefore, all those who did not return were treated as those who died in battle. The government registered them and initiated national sacrifices. If they had relatives or descendants, they would be given corresponding treatment and support.

At the same time, if these people have friends or relatives who have woken up, they will naturally offer sacrifices and mourn for the dead. Now the total number of Gaia humans is only about 300,000 to 400,000, and nearly 9,000 people have died in battle. This death ratio is already very high, so Wu Xianxiao can see various forms of religious sacrifices and commemorations from time to time along the way, which makes him feel heavy-hearted.

In any era, any civilization, and any race, as long as it is the type that is moving forward as a whole, there will be no shortage of people who carry heavy burdens and move forward. Their existence supports the backbone of this race and this civilization, and is also the bottom line for the sinking of this race and this civilization.

Commemorating them, giving honor and remembrance to these people who carried the heavy burden forward, rather than deconstructing and slandering them, is the attitude and behavior that an upward civilization and race should have. Otherwise, this civilization and race will inevitably decline and fall.

Wu Xianxiao walked through the street with a solemn mood. The people around him naturally discovered this new presidential candidate, the second super brain in the human government, and the undisputed first hero of President Chu Minghao's rescue plan. More than a thousand people were able to return this time, and Wu Xianxiao can be said to have made great contributions.

Everyone who saw him stood silently, saluted him, and continued their activities only after he walked away.

Wu Xianxiao felt like sitting on pins and needles, and immediately ran quickly into Gao Changgong's guild building. At the same time, he saw that a shop next to Gao Changgong's guild building had been sold and was currently being renovated. The name on the sign was just two words... Company.

(Are you so brave? Just call it a company?)

Wu Xianxiao was thinking about all these things. When he entered the room, he saw Gao Changgong walking out in a hurry. He kept talking to the people beside him. Then he saw Wu Xianxiao and said to him, "I have something to do first. You can do whatever you want here. By the way, Hao Cheng is back alive. The time flow rate of her weekend scene is abnormal. She was confirmed to return from the weekend yesterday."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, that's good... No, why did you mention Hao Cheng to me so emphatically?"

Gao Changgong did not answer and left in a hurry, which made Wu Xunxun speechless.

The entire guild building was filled with people rushing about. If Wu Xianxiao had not confirmed that this was the Extraordinary Guild Building, just by looking at the state of the staff here, he would have thought that he had run into some securities company.

It's not just Gao Changgong and his subordinates who are so busy, but the entire Land of Redemption, the City of Redemption, and all Gaia humans are busy now.

When the Land of Redemption was first acquired, Chu Minghao relied on this achievement, plus his previous achievement in upgrading the main brain, and his status as a presidential candidate of the previous generation, to directly obtain the authority of the current president from the main brain. Since then, the Land of Redemption has actually entered a stage of great development.

As far as Wu Xianxiao knew, before Chu Minghao became president, if one wanted to awaken sleeping maintenance personnel or citizens, one had to set up a shelter in order to get a awakening quota, which was what Wu Xianxiao jokingly called drawing cards.

However, the efficiency of such awakening is very low, and it is very susceptible to the pollution sources, parasites, twisted curses, etc. that have appeared on Gaia, which may lead to a situation similar to that when Wu Xianxiao was awakened.

After Chu Minghao obtained the title of president, he could awaken the Gaia humans through large-scale points. At the same time, their awakening location was directly located in the land of salvation, so they would not have to suffer from the pollution on Gaia. The only drawback was that it required a large number of points to awaken them. However, as a unified government of mankind, it itself was part of the underlying program architecture of the main brain. Even if the main brain was upgraded and more points options were added, it was still easier for the human government to obtain points than an individual.

So far, individuals can only obtain points through the main brain missions in the dream world, and the amount of points obtained from each mission is not large. A few hundred or so is already a good gain.

The government can gain points through the main brain's "assessment" every quarter. It does not need to complete any tasks. The main brain will assess the government's performance, government affairs, inaction, and even corruption every three months, and then issue corresponding points to the human government based on the assessment. The amount is usually around 100,000. At the same time, the larger the scale of the human government, the more points it will get at the same assessment level.

To put it simply, this is the shared points for all mankind that the master brain provides to the human government.

At present, the upgrade level of the main brain is not high. The role of points for individuals is only to host shelters and sign contracts determined by the main brain. The human government has one more thing, which is to use points to awaken Gaia humans on a large scale. However, everyone knows that these points must be good things. After the main brain is upgraded in the future, it may replace credit currency and become the only currency of Gaia humans? It is the points that can awaken Gaia humans. Then, the more Gaia humans managed by the human government, the more points will be obtained in the main brain assessment every quarter. The more points, the more Gaia humans can be awakened. This has become a positive cycle. Therefore, since Chu Minghao became the president of mankind, awakening more Gaia humans, reviving human civilization, and the tone of great development has always been the only core of the human government.

All this came to an abrupt end until Chu Minghao was ambushed and exiled to the weekend. At that time, people were in panic, various forces were fighting for power, and secretly the company and the People's Revolutionary League were eyeing the Land of Redemption, so naturally there was no possibility of further development.

The busyness that Wu Xianxiao saw this time was actually just the return of order, and the core of great development had once again become the consensus of everyone.

Wu Xianxiao had no interest in these things. He rested in the guild's leisure room by himself. It was not until lunch time that Gao Changgong came back from work. He looked at the leisurely Wu Xianxiao and said, "You are a presidential candidate. Is it really okay for you to just slack off like this?"

Wu Xianxiao looked at Gao Changgong with an inexplicable look and said, "No, are you serious? You want me to work as a civil servant?"

Gao Changgong was suddenly speechless.

There are a huge number of people who can be civil servants, and there are many elite talents among them. There are many such people among the sleeping Gaian humans now. The education level in the 29th century can produce such talents in large quantities.

However, not many people can enter the dream world to fight. On the one hand, one must have the courage to die at any time, and on the other hand, opportunity, mind, combat ability, and extraordinary anti-pollution ability are all indispensable.

Wu Xianxiao is the only two super brains of the human government and the top combat force of mankind. Not allowing him to enter the dream world, but instead placing him in the land of salvation as a symbol of a force, or becoming an elite civil servant, is the biggest waste.

Gao Changgong poured a glass of wine and said, "I've been too busy and dizzy. It's actually good to see you so relaxed. It means that we humans haven't encountered any major dangers... Oh, this."

As Gao Changgong spoke, he took out a box from his personal space. He threw the box to Wu Xianxiao and said, "The chairman of the First Singularity Company sent someone to deliver something two days ago. He said it has been solidified. This is the original. You can open the box through the main brain. There is also an instruction manual inside."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately overjoyed. He took the box and looked at it for a few seconds, confirming that there were no cracks in the box. He immediately said, "Mastermind, open the box."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed. Citizen Wu Xianxian owns the contract box. It has been opened."

Before Wu Xianxiao could even think about terms like contract box, he saw the box in front of him disintegrate, revealing the objects inside: a mobile phone and a document.

Wu Xianxiao immediately picked up the phone and took a few glances at it. He couldn't tell what changes had taken place on the phone. It was no different from when he first got it. He then picked up the document and looked through it carefully.

"This phone has been solidified through a number of singularity technologies, serving as the only anchor point for lost time and space in the real world."

"The curing of the phone can last for five years. After five years, it needs to be cured again, or the lost time and space will be opened."

"This lost space and time is in a semi-imaginary state and can only be filled by the essence of the source and the derivative (sublimated body) of the source. Once filled, this lost space and time will be transformed into a fixed-level dream world, which can be determined by the filling amount. The more the filling amount, the higher the base level of the dream world."

"… Corrected. Confirmed that the Mastermind points can be used to fill the lost time and space. Please check the Mastermind for the specific amount."

"Dial this phone number to get in touch with the Lost Spacetime's internal information. Each contact requires the essence or points to be filled. Please check the main brain for the specific cost."

There was not much content on the document. Wu Xianxiao naturally did not understand the professional scientific terms and calculation formulas. He went straight to the explanatory text recorded at the end. In particular, when he saw that points could be used to fill in the blanks and to make calls, he was overjoyed.

Wu Xianxiao immediately picked up the phone and turned it on. Without hesitation, he dialed the number of his home landline. Then the voice of the mastermind came from the phone.

"This mobile phone number is in arrears, please recharge."
