Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 693 Divine Spirit Management Bureau
The New World has officially deployed more than 150 Evil Brain Motors across the five regions of the Development Alliance.

Today, the projection equipment of the Evil Brain Motor is much more sophisticated and mature than when Zhou Yi first used it. It still retains its arcade-like control panel, requiring the use of joysticks and buttons, but all kinds of complex commands have been greatly simplified and optimized.

Zhou Yi tried out the latest third-generation evil brain motor.

After powering on.

An option is displayed on the screen.

On the left is the Holy Spirit, and on the right is the New World.

These are also the two consciousness-side regions that can be logged into at present.

Zhou Yi moved the joystick to the right and pressed it.

A scroll slowly unfolds on the screen, displaying a new world map with China at its core, marking every province and city.

These are all initial regions that you can choose to log in to.

Choosing different city resident statuses also has different effects and advantages.

The evil brain also provides textual guidance on this.

[Chongqing]: Local housing prices are relatively low, with an average price of 1.2 yuan/㎡.

[Tianjin]: A low-cost education destination, with Nankai University and Tianjin University accounting for over 30% of local students.

[Shanghai]: It has a large number of high-paying jobs and is home to one of the three major new cryptocurrency exchanges.

……

The situation in Shanghai is quite easy to understand.

In the old human era, the Shanghai Stock Exchange was located there, and the city's size and positioning resulted in many job opportunities.

But the other two Zhou Yis didn't quite understand.

He asked Yagami, "Does the new world need houses? How will education be implemented there?"

"Of course."

Night God sat next to Zhou Yi and said earnestly, "The new world is a human social and geographical space that replicates the old human era. In it, everything must conform to the existing natural laws and social rules."

"Without a house, there is nowhere to live. There is no such thing as homelessness in the new world, but you will be forcibly logged out. If you do not have a place to settle down, whether you are renting or buying a house, you will be kicked out after 12 hours and you will not be able to log in again until 12 hours later."

"The time of the new world is consistent with that of the real world."

"And let's talk about school education. Move over, let me take over."

Before Zhou Yi could move aside, she squeezed through.

As Yagami manipulated the joystick, the Evil Brain Motor first disconnected and then restarted, and the character she was controlling changed to resemble her.

"Let's go to Tianjin first."

In the new world, as long as one has the necessary permissions, one can travel between two cities in an instant.

After arriving in Tianjin.

Yagami located the location and arrived at the gate of a university.

Above the main gate are four golden characters that read "Nankai University". Next to the electronic roadblock is a stainless steel sign that reads "Vehicles from outside the university must have a permit to enter the campus. Taxis are prohibited from entering the campus".

She pointed to a notice board next to her.

There you'll find this year's college entrance examination notice, as well as the school's admission regulations.

Many people were watching, and because of Noshin's administrator privileges, he could see directly that most of the onlookers were identified as New Humans.

It seems they really want to enroll.

While the new generation may not understand universities, they are definitely pragmatists; they won't do anything useless.

Zhou Yi immediately thought, "Is it for employment in the New World?"

"Correct."

Yagami, standing nearby, said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, who would want to go through all that trouble, studying and taking exams? Because if you can get university student status here, many high-level positions become easy to obtain. It's actually a new way for the world to select talent through education."

"Of course, due to differences in education levels, the new humans cannot have the same level of basic knowledge as the old humans. Therefore, the electromechanical life forms have compiled test papers based on the current situation. Different cities also have different requirements. Currently, the test papers are divided into two versions, A and B, referencing the college entrance examination method of the old humans."

"However, cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin use their own entrance exam papers, which is an advantage for them. Therefore, the chances of getting into these two good schools in Tianjin are much greater than in other places."

"The only requirement is that candidates must initially select Tianjin to be eligible to take the exam in Tianjin."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

Good guy.

Humans in the wasteland era are about to embark on a hellish college entrance exam challenge.

We are currently in a period of high returns, but as time goes on, the competition will become increasingly fierce.

Aside from a complete replica of the interior of the new world.

The external device's "evil brain motor" has also undergone a comprehensive upgrade.

Originally, this device could only be used by one person at a time.

However, as the treacherous insects enter the stage of complete domestication, each evil brain can simultaneously connect to 1000 consciousness entities, carrying them into the new world and launching their activities.

So although only 150 evil brain motors were deployed, they are essentially more like wireless terminals, covering every area and supporting 15 people to use them at the same time.

The extension unit was manufactured by the Legal Front's electromechanical factory, and based on an enhanced controller, it was equipped with a special gemstone chip.

This chip can be recognized and connected by the evil brain motor, thus allowing entry into a new world.

The underlying technology is actually the projection technology by which celestial beings use gemstone fiber fragments to act on substitutes and life carriers.

Anyone who knows how to use the enhanced controller (which is the computer of this era) can bind their identity and log in to the new world.

Because a pure lottery system is used, the supporting equipment is currently being distributed free of charge.

The influx of these 15 new humans was only the first batch. The second batch, with 20 places, was deployed to the Heavenly Kingdom. The third batch consisted of 10 places allocated to various regions of the Western Continent.

With the influx of a large number of new humans and light-based species from the wasteland era, the trading market in the new world has become more active than ever before.

Many newcomers work in the new world to earn high salaries, which they then cash out in the real world.

Another group is keenly aware of the importance of real estate. They purchase properties in cities for both living and long-term investment, hoping for stable long-term appreciation. This is because more and more people will enter the market, and the new world will continue to develop and expand.

Those with more assets and budgets are targeting the new cryptocurrency market.

They converted their assets into new currency and invested in promising concept life forms.

A very small number of people are starting to try to become conceptual beings, learning to create new currencies, and beginning to manage themselves as the greatest carrier of value.

Ultimately, at the pinnacle of life forms in the new world, is conceptual life.

Create new currency in advance to serve as your own fiat currency. If you develop it well, it will be a powerful leveraged asset, and selling it can quickly complete your initial capital accumulation.

Major capital groups such as Yinshang Company and Shenwei Company have already begun to buy up new coins at low prices, purchasing them from holders of large quantities of these coins. With a whole basket of new coins, if even one of them rises in price in the future, the returns will be substantial.

Therefore, managing your own personal life is the guarantee of stable long-term income and the potential for sudden wealth.

Based on.

More and more groups and individuals are intentionally creating deities, pushing the concept of life back to the altar, and using various methods to make it sacred, sublime, and great, promoting the new currency they hold, and attracting more buyers and holders.

Of course, everyone is there for profit.

about this point.

Zhou Yi also devised targeted strategies.

To ensure stability, the existing conceptual life forms are constantly increasing, and it is necessary to ensure that they do not disrupt the new world order, and there is a relevant governing body.

Zhou Yi established the "Divine Spirit Management Bureau" within the company, with Juemingzi, a light core-level electromechanical life form, serving as its first director.

Long ago, during their first meeting and conversation, the Night God complained that the Church of the Night was finding it increasingly difficult to operate, and that he was the only conceptual being still walking in the name of the gods.

At that time, Zhou Yi suggested that she package herself in a way similar to that of idols. Later, the church introduced beautiful goddesses and priestesses, which gained more popularity among the people. Furthermore, the church strengthened and solidified its appeal through the spiritual sustenance provided by the offering of prayer tickets.

Zhou Yi then had the idea of ​​setting up a "deity-making department" in the company.

Because the concept of life itself, which ascends to godhood, is not a transcendent power, but rather the result of years of cultivation, it is revered as a god by people.

However, it was soon discovered that this lacked the necessary foundation and conditions. First, the number of conceptual life forms was too small; let alone packaging them, finding them was difficult.

Moreover, they each have their own problems with their personalities.

Take, for example, the few people Zhou Yi came into contact with.

Aside from the music, the karaoke king exudes a childlike innocence and naiveté. Its ability to easily plunge someone into a background music hell is something it has mastered only after a long period of practice.

The Earth God is taciturn and not good with words, keeping everything to himself. He had been frequently bullied by the Lord of the Dead Sea and the Paradise of Heaven, but he always endured it silently, a style that is naturally unlikable.

Dragon is a wanted criminal by the celestial beings.

The mechanical and electrical administrator, a former prisoner, has now become an inseparable part of the Dong family's shelter.

……

Compared to these conceptual beings, Yagami is practically the perfect idol: lively and cheerful, patiently listening, gentle to others, and even helping believers solve their life difficulties.

The Church of the Night reigns supreme, and its divine name resounds throughout the land—a well-deserved title.

Times are changing.

The old-fashioned, aloof deities no longer gain the people's approval.

To become a god of this era, one needs to be idolized and have distinctive characteristics, and learn to adapt to the times.

For these reasons.

Zhou Yi's idea for the God-Making Department became a scrapped proposal.

But the flourishing of the new world not only attracted a large number of conceptual life forms, but also created new conceptual life forms.

This scrapped proposal can be reused with a few modifications.

Zhou Yi made many adjustments, which led to the establishment of the Divine Spirit Management Bureau.

This department has a specific jurisdiction over the gods in the New World.

Deity has been officially recognized as a profession. Anyone who wants to issue new currency must register as a legitimate deity in the new world and assume the responsibilities and obligations of a deity.

Zhou Yi specially invited all kinds of new and old concept beings to a meeting in the New World, and informed and answered them in person.

The most frequently asked question is naturally, "What should a deity do?"

Mr. Krabs, as the company's spokesperson, responded, "The primary duty of the gods is, of course, to be responsible for the people who hold their new currency."

"They hold the concept token currency and are our core supporters. The deity needs to regularly disclose information to all new coin holders, in both quarterly and annual reports, introducing relevant data on the new coins issued during that period, providing risk warnings, and ensuring proper information disclosure."

The concept of life [money] says: "It sounds more like a relationship between a company and its shareholders?"

His image was that of a man wearing gold sunglasses, smoking a cigar, wearing a large white fur coat, with a large gold chain around his neck and gemstone rings on his fingers. This image reminded Zhou Yi of some rappers.

However, the image of conceptual life evolves according to people's needs. In other words, in the eyes of most ordinary people, this is what rich people should look like.

"exactly."

Mr. Krabs said, "The holders of the new currency have a direct economic relationship with the gods. We don't get involved in private relationships, but everyone's basic interests need to be protected."

Money took a puff of his cigar and grinned, "Got it. Talking about money actually makes things simpler; that's my specialty."

"You're saying that, besides the issuance of new currency, the divine profession can also have its own exclusive spatial area in the new world?"

The question is raised by the term "plague".

It wore a bird-beak mask and its body was shrouded in a black cloak.

Most people fear and avoid plagues, but after the new coin was issued, quite a few people bought the plague coin without hesitation.

This shows that personal preferences are one thing, but making money is another.

"Correct."

Zhou Yi nodded and personally replied, "This is also something we considered. Gods bear a heavy responsibility, so they also have their own privileges. Registered gods can choose a city to establish their own [Temple], which is their headquarters."

"The temple has three functions."

He raised his finger: "Firstly, as a natural landmark, it can help you promote yourselves, attract more people to join, and expand your influence and conceptual identity."

"Secondly, the temple is a gathering place for new coin holders, with private spaces inside. You can talk and communicate with your supporters, hold team building activities regularly, answer questions, or release the latest internal plans."

"Thirdly, the temple is a public building where the real-time value of the new currency issued by the deity can be seen, along with its exchange rate with other new currencies and the number of holders and the amount of new currency issued. Another crucial part is the new world's rating of the deity."

Many of the conceptual thinkers in the audience became visibly tense.

[Plague] continued, "Mr. Zhou, how is this rating calculated?"

"Rest assured, this rating is based on the deity's credit, scale, and long-term profitability. The Legal Front provides technical support, using data for simulation calculations, so you can be assured of its fairness and impartiality. If you have any objections to your rating, you can consult the relevant rating report and file a challenge or appeal."

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "In the new world, we don't care about your past level or your status in the Great Holy Spirit. All of us gods are starting from the same starting line. Now everyone is an E-level god."

"The rating will be completed for the first time this quarter."

"Just like the city credit rating system in the past, the higher the level, the more choices you have. Each level you upgrade allows you to add one more temple to build in other cities. Level E allows one temple, D allows two, C allows three, B allows four, and A allows five. If you can reach Level S, then you can build a temple in every city."

Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was finally piqued.

"in addition."

Zhou Yi continued to offer bait: "The higher the level of the deity, the more new coins can be issued. In order to stabilize the market, we will control the circulation of various new coins to avoid large devaluations and the bankruptcy of the deity's credit."

"You can check the exact quantity at any time."

"We have also launched an exclusive benefit for the gods."

"For highly rated deities, reaching Grade A, we will provide permanent residency and a deity registration in the new world, officially making them native deities of the new world. In the future, the new world will cover Earth, Mars, and other planets. You can all use our channels to travel to these places or seek fragments of consciousness."

"And the identity of the new world's deity will ensure that you will not be subject to local restrictions."

"In short, the new world will continue to expand, covering more and more planets and increasing the number of life forms."

"So being a god in the new world should be a very promising identity."

As soon as these words came out.

The conceptual life forms were stunned for a moment.

[Money] was the first to react: "Mr. Zhou means... that we can break free from the Great Holy Spirit? Is that... really possible?"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "This is indeed quite troublesome, but it's not impossible."

"We have reached an agreement with the Dream Demon Clan. The Weavers have all agreed to help the conceptual beings migrating from the Great Holy Spirit to the New World complete their departure procedures. However, they will need to pay a departure tax, which is about 50% of all their assets, including material property and fragments of consciousness."

“Those beings who have broken free from the concept of the Great Holy Spirit can re-establish a prototype on the moon to complete their formal migration. They can bring with them 50% of their past memories and fragments of consciousness.”

The conceptual life forms immediately became excited.

"You want to make it public, but your company doesn't say that only public announcement counts!"

"Take a look at the rating details!"

Are there fixed limits on the number of Grade A ratings? Are there time requirements for rating upgrades? Will my residency be revoked if my rating drops?

Various questions were raised.

People spoke more enthusiastically than ever before, and even many conceptual thinkers who had remained silent and detached joined the discussion and consultation.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

This move hit the nail on the head.

The conceptual beings have long suffered under the Great Holy Spirit, for they are all bound to Earth by invisible shackles, unable to move. And behind them, nightmares suck their blood.

The new world offers a significantly expanded range of activity, and with the moon—a place inaccessible to even celestial beings—as its base, and Earth also accessible, it's considered an unrestricted high-ranking foreign visitor.

That's incredibly appealing.

The nightmares agree to the migration of conceptual life forms because they also want to enter the new world; it's a transaction.

The loss of these conceptual beings will indeed be a blow to the Great Holy Spirit. However, conceptual beings can be re-formed, so for the dream demons, all they need to do is find a way to use the Great Holy Spirit to cultivate new beings.

……

With the official launch of the Divine Administration Bureau, temples were erected throughout the city, and divine culture quickly became popular in the new world.
