I can find treasures in my dreams.

Under Sun Ya's arrangement, Ms. Leilani checked into a luxury hotel in the city center of Yangyan.

The hotel's facilities were very advanced and intelligent, which broadened the lady's horizons.

such as:

Upon entering the suite's living room, the smart home assistant immediately prompted: "Dear Madam, please be sure to tell me if you have any preferences."

"In the future, when you stay at any of the hotels under the Oriental Hotel Group, the room will be configured according to your personal preferences."

"For example, if you like to drink warm water at 42 degrees Celsius, you can drink warm water at 42 degrees Celsius whenever you enter the guest room."

Ms. Leilani instantly realized that the hotel industry in Great Xia was already a generation ahead of the rest of the world.

For example:
The hotel is equipped with a dedicated bartending robot, and guests staying in the presidential suite can enjoy unlimited complimentary drinks made by the robot.

This includes cocktails, as well as Da Xia's signature milk tea.

Ms. Leilani witnessed the robot performing acrobatics, tossing the mixing cups through the air in a spectacular display.

The robot quickly prepared a colorful and layered milk tea and handed it to the lady.

Ms. Leilani took the cup, took a sip, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

She couldn't help but add, "It seems like bartenders all over the world are about to lose their jobs!"

Sun Ya smiled and said, "Sometimes technological advancements inevitably bring some side effects."

Ms. Leilani could see very clearly that no matter how big the cup was, or how many times it tumbled in the air, the robot could always catch it steadily.

She didn't think an ordinary bartender could do that.

Perhaps a person with superpowers could do that, but a person with superpowers can get good treatment wherever they go, so why would they want to work as a bartender?
Another example:
When it was time for dinner, Ms. Leilani declined the welcome dinner that Sun Ya had booked.

She sat in the hotel's buffet restaurant, watching through a large transparent glass window as robot chefs prepared Xia dishes in an acrobatic manner.

Ms. Leilani turned to look at Sun Ya and laughed, "You people of Great Xia are really something. Not only did you eliminate the bartenders, you even wiped out the chef profession as well."

Sun Ya responded with a very clever remark: "We sincerely hope that everyone can sit here and enjoy watching the robot chefs cook, instead of standing in the kitchen sweating profusely."

Ms. Leilani asked, "But what about the jobs that have been eliminated? People need jobs!"

Instead of answering directly, Sun Ya asked a question: "Madam, have you noticed that there are many staff members at the hotel front desk?"

Ms. Leilani seemed thoughtful.

She had been to many luxury hotels, where there were usually only three or four people at the front desk, but this hotel had a full six people at the front desk.

At the time, she was puzzled as to why the hotel still had so many human employees when the Great Xia had already entered an intelligent society.

Sun Ya then replied, "Da Xia did eliminate a lot of jobs, but these jobs were all heavy physical labor and also had a certain degree of danger."

"This kind of work only continuously consumes human inspiration and creativity, rather than stimulating them, and it cannot bring about social progress. We do not think such work is of much significance."

"If someone needs a job, we can create some easier positions, like a hotel receptionist."

"The hotel's front desk staff only need to work four hours a day, and the rest of the time they can enjoy life to the fullest or do whatever they want."

"We believe that this is the meaning of life: to experience, to enjoy, and to realize one's self-worth, rather than being constantly consumed by repetitive, high-intensity labor and eventually suffering from serious illnesses, which is a waste of life."

Ms. Leilani was stunned by these words.

Sun Ya casually gave an example: "I've seen news reports that the chef robot you see now was developed by a group of young people in their twenties and thirties."

"Their achievements have completely liberated tens of millions of chefs. Even if only one-tenth of these people can engage in innovative work, that would still amount to millions of engineers or R&D personnel."

"If Daxia had not achieved full automation, some members of the team developing the chef robot might still be working as chefs in restaurants, facing a sweltering stove all day long."

Ms. Leilani was convinced: "That makes a lot of sense!"

Sun Ya continued, "Jobs like hotel front desk staff can actually be completely replaced by intelligent systems, but they still exist. These types of jobs are defined as welfare positions in Daxia."

"To date, the government and numerous enterprises in Daxia have created more than 3.1 million welfare jobs, enabling hundreds of millions of Daxia people to live a dignified and high-quality life."

Ms. Leilani asked another question: "Isn't Daxia worried about raising too many lazy people?"

Sun Ya smiled and said, "Laziness is human nature. Great Xia allows lazy people to exist, but we also encourage individual hard work."

Ms. Leilani thought about it and realized that there was no contradiction in her statement.

Lazy people can certainly live well in Daxia, but they won't be very wealthy. To live a wealthy life, they still need to rely on their own efforts.

In a country as large as Daxia, there are always plenty of people willing to strive and create more value for themselves and society.

Furthermore, lazy people have more time to have and raise children, and with more lazy people, the birth rate increases accordingly.

The woman then commented: "Of all the countries on Azure Star, only Great Xia is a true civilization."

The implication is that other countries cannot be considered civilized.

Sun Ya simply smiled and didn't reply.

She glanced at the robot chef and subtly changed the subject: "Madam, you can order now."

She reached out and pressed on the glass tabletop.

The electronic menu appeared immediately, with each dish accompanied by a picture that looked and smelled delicious.

Before the menu appears, it's really hard to tell that this is actually a screen.

Ms. Leilani paused for a moment, then said, "I think I saw something like this in a science fiction movie before."

The woman added, "It's a science fiction movie produced by the Federation. Sure enough, the Federation is responsible for the concept, and Great Xia is responsible for its realization."

She had lost count of how many "first times" this was.

Sun Ya smiled, pursing her lips.

It was nine o'clock at night.

Ms. Leilani took an incredibly intelligent bath in the tub, then sat by the floor-to-ceiling window in her bathrobe, watching the magnificent holographic projection show. She felt that today was the most fantastical day of her life.

The woman took a small sip of her drink and murmured softly, "If only I could settle down in Bactria."

But she immediately shook her head: "I still have to fight for more benefits for the Yi and Xia people, so I can't leave the Shenmu Islands during this term at least."

the next day.

Under Sun Ya's arrangement, Ms. Leilani spent a whole day touring Yangyan City and experiencing the local customs and culture of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this woman's eyes, Daxia is a magical land where the past, present, and future intertwine. She feels that Daxia's architecture perfectly embodies this.

Since Yangyan City was a new city, she saw many residential areas with ancient Xia-style buildings, carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, which looked extremely beautiful.

Many buildings are connected by skywalks, which range from tens of meters to hundreds of meters in length, resembling rainbows spanning the sky.

Despite their antique appearance, each of these communities is a state-of-the-art smart community.

Take taking a bus as an example.

If residents take a smart vehicle home, the vehicle will drive into the underground parking area and arrive directly below the building. The elevator will automatically descend to the basement level, so residents will not have to wait for the elevator.

In addition to being intelligent, it is also exceptionally safe.

The antique-looking spider robot patrols the community 24/7.

She genuinely felt that this was a perfect fusion of classic and technological elements.

In front of Sun Ya, Ms. Leilani said seriously, "I think that classical Xia architecture is the highest aesthetic art, and it will definitely become popular all over the world."

Sun Ya smiled in response: "I think so too."

On the planet Canglan today, only the Great Xia culture is a dominant culture, while the cultures of other countries are all weak cultures.

The export of dominant culture to weaker culture is an inevitable historical trend, and she has no doubt about this.

*
On the third day.

The main event is finally here.

Because Mr. Lingya himself said that he wanted to "give a public demonstration to the whole world", the time was set for 10:00 a.m.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a car carrying Ms. Leilani and others drove straight towards the north of Yangyan City.

This was the first time in recent days that Ms. Leilani had seen a real human driver instead of a vehicle without a steering wheel or brakes, so much so that she glanced at it curiously several times.

The woman quickly realized that a vehicle driven by a human driver was indeed not as stable as an intelligent vehicle.

She had only been sitting for a few minutes when she fully understood why the Great Xia Dynasty had enacted laws prohibiting unauthorized drivers from operating vehicles.

When AI evolves to a certain level, it will indeed be more proficient than humans in certain skills.

Not long after.

The vehicle entered an underground tunnel.

Ms. Leilani had long ago discovered that the underground tunnels in Great Xia City were unusually numerous.

Sun Ya mentioned some data: "To date, Yangyan City has built more than 1400 tunnels, with a total length of more than 1.5 kilometers."

"In comparison, the total length of ground roads in Yangyan City is 3.2 kilometers."

"That is to say, the total length of underground roads is almost half that of surface roads."

This is truly astonishing engineering capability.

Ms. Leilani could hardly believe that the people of Daxia had dug such a long network of tunnels underground in Yangyan City, which had been established less than a year ago.

Sun Ya also said, "In the future, Yangyan City will build more underground tunnels, eventually forming a huge underground highway network."

Ms. Leilani found it hard to understand why the Bactrians were so obsessed with digging tunnels.

Sun Ya told her, "Underground tunnel networks have many benefits. They can greatly improve traffic efficiency and, in turn, logistics efficiency."

"In case of an emergency, such as a sudden attack by primal monsters, the underground tunnel network is a natural sanctuary."

"The 2500 million residents of Yangyan City can be transferred underground as quickly as possible to await the arrival of rescue forces."

Ms. Leilani was once again shocked by the way the Great Xia people did things.

She deeply realized that Great Xia was truly trying every means to protect the safety of all its citizens.

For a mere city, tens of thousands of kilometers of tunnels have to be built. What a huge cost that must have been.

Such a thing is simply unimaginable in the Federation.

at this time.

Ms. Leilani hesitated for a moment before asking, "This city is called Yangyan City, but I've noticed that almost no one here seems to have seen Yangyan Mountain. Has this mountain been hidden by the Great Xia?"

She had been wanting to ask this question for the past two days, but Sun Ya seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.

Sun Ya smiled slightly and asked instead of answering, "Madam, do you remember the first thing I said to you?"

Ms. Leilani had a good memory; after only a moment's thought, she remembered: "You said 'Welcome to the City of Supernatural Powers, Yangyan City'."

She suddenly noticed the wording in the sentence: "I heard that Yangyan Mountain allows the people of Daxia to awaken a superpower called Yangyan, but that's not enough to make Yangyan City the capital of superpowers, is it?"

Sun Ya smiled and said something that shocked her greatly: "Because the probability of residents of Yangyan City awakening superpowers is twice the national average of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is also the place with the highest probability of awakening superpowers in the world."

"According to the latest statistics, the ratio of people in the Great Xia who awaken superpowers is one in 9200, while the ratio in Yangyan City is as high as one in 4550."

Ms. Leilani gasped.

She suddenly understood why the Great Xia Dynasty hadn't released this shocking news.

The reason is simple: once this news spreads, people all over the world will probably fight tooth and nail to live in Yangyan City.

She also figured out another question: why did the Great Xia people hide Yangyan Mountain?

Ms. Leilani pressed further, "Is this unusually high probability related to Yangyan Mountain?"

Sun Ya nodded and said, "Of course!"

She did not hide the information: "After the Great Xia first obtained Yangyan Mountain, not long after, someone awakened the Yangyan ability, and we did not find any other abnormalities."

"It wasn't until Yangyan City was upgraded to a directly administered city and the higher-ups began to migrate here on a large scale that we gradually discovered that the probability of ordinary people in Yangyan City awakening supernatural abilities was unusually high."

"Upon hearing the news, Mr. Lingya came here to conduct an investigation and ultimately confirmed that Yangyan Mountain would subtly influence the souls of surrounding life forms, thereby increasing the probability of awakening supernatural abilities."

"Mr. Lingya also gave this phenomenon a name, 'Soul Radiation.' After discovering this, Great Xia began to strictly screen the residents of Yangyan City."

Ms. Leilani exclaimed in amazement, "I feel that Yangyan Mountain is a sacred mountain."

Sun Ya smiled and said, "I think so too." (End of this chapter)
