CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 16: MARK CURRENCY
The New World testing has been ongoing for over a year.
With the clearing of the Dead Sea, old human cities that had been buried under dust have gradually reemerged, and thanks to the effect of the Death Light film, they are all perfectly preserved.
Based on these ready-made detailed templates, the subsequent city scanning and replication processes have become swift.
It’s noteworthy that rulers have started investigating nearby cities, with many relocating their settlements there.
Because old human cities—even small counties and towns—had high levels of city planning completion, with roads, drainage, waste management, and the electrical grid ready to access and use; they are incomparable to the basic infrastructure of the Wasteland era.
The key is that the city’s construction is mature, allowing one to move in with just a package, and every household even has furniture.
A large number of new humans have happily begun relocation immediately.
Having obtained the cities of their ancestors, these regions that first completed large-scale relocation have shown astonishing development speeds right away.
Since the electrical grid had long been established, they could integrate with the Electric Cat System to the fullest.
The surrounding roads on-site allowed various vehicles to transport people and goods at high speeds.
Ready-made pipelines and facilities for water supply networks, drainage and flood control, and sewage treatment only required simple replacements to continue their use. This made city water supply very convenient, saved a lot of related time, and maximized the efficient use of water resources...
Numerous conveniences have immediately made these regions stand out amidst their surroundings, with the city’s living standards launching a dimension-reducing attack on areas of the same level, quickly starting a population siphon.
After tasting the sweetness, all sides flocked in droves, moving into old human cities, even leading to scenarios where several regions shared one large city.
Only a very few Wasteland cities with extremely high construction levels only treated old human cities as satellite towns, moving some residents in while maintaining the original site without migrating the main body.
The large-scale clearing and relocation of the Dead Sea primarily took place on the East Continent. This is where the company headquarters is located, and since all regions were very supportive, the demolition work was easier to coordinate, whereas the Western Continent lagged behind once again due to conservatism.
Seeing the East Continent getting rich, all the Governors and sea lords rushed over, requesting to also start relocation.
However, all this had already been handed over to the demolition office director, Cao Dayuan, and Zhou Yi mainly just performed the final audits and signing.
Based on these circumstances.
More than two-thirds of the Asian Continent from the old human era has reemerged, so over there in the New World, they first used the China Region, where the company is located, as a model to complete a panoramic replication.
The long-time spokesperson for the company, Crab Boss (Dragon), hurried back to the company this day, arriving at 3101.
"Chairman, this is a great opportunity! This is a huge chance for the absorption side of consciousness!"
It said enthusiastically: "Chairman, the Concept Life forms hold the New World in very high regard and are gradually transitioning from the consciousness side to permanent life over here."
"According to my investigation, at least one-fifth of the Concept Life forms have entered the New World, with a total exceeding 1000."
Zhou Yi said, "So the total number of Concept Life forms is 5000?"
"According to the data from the Dream Demon side, the active Concept Life forms in the world, that is the truly frequently used Concept Consciousness bodies in this world, number about 5000-8000."
Crab Boss said, "The meaning within these Concept Life forms’ consciousness supports 99% of the everyday thinking and communication of humans and Guangna Species."
"The part of the Concept Life forms that are eliminated or forgotten will eventually decompose in slumber, or merge with other Concept Life forms, replaced by new ones."
Zhou Yi understood.
Concept Life forms, as the name suggests, point out the genesis and characteristics of this special form of life.
They are consciousness entities condensed by material life to describe the world, which can be simply understood as specific words or even memes.
Old concepts are continually being changed, forgotten, or even destroyed, while new concepts keep being generated, and only some core concepts remain active in the world.
Like [Hot Pot], which was all the rage in the old human era.
However, during the Wasteland era, it came to a halt and fell into long-term slumber.
Zhou Yi previously wanted to look for it, but the Night God said it was very weak and in a long-term slumber. This is actually a euphemism for dying out, but Concept Life forms themselves are special, and if the environment is right, they can revive.
Only [Fire God], [Fear], [Death], such old legendary figures, remain prevalent across generations, unaffected by the comings and goings of newcomers.
Pulling back his thoughts, Zhou Yi asked again: "Concept Life forms coming to the New World on vacation is nice; it seems you did a lot of promotion."
"This is indeed my job."
Crab Boss humbly said, "But Chairman, they’re not just here for a vacation, they’re here for long-term living. Initially, they came because there was no Great Holy Spirit to bind them here, allowing direct contact with every consciousness body to spread their marks and expand their influence and concepts."
"But now, it’s mainly because the mark market is very prosperous."
"Mark market?"
Zhou Yi was confused: "Marks can also be traded?"
"It’s not possible on the Great Holy Spirit side."
Crab Boss explained: "Because marks are essentially the consciousness altars of Concept Life forms. Take the Fire God for example, if someone invests their Consciousness Fragments into its mark, they can obtain Consciousness Fragments about fire."
"But in the New World, because of the emergence of special new human-style Concept Life forms, their style is very flexible and changeable. To compete with traditional Concept Life forms in spreading marks, they’ve thought of many methods."
