They provided intelligence and supplies to the rebels, and also colluded with and contacted other rebel groups in other districts who were also plotting an uprising.
If the government were to suppress the rebellion directly by force, it would inevitably provoke a frenzied attack from political rivals who covet the position of head of state. With those people secretly instigating the rebellion, the thirty-nine countries would inevitably develop a pessimistic notion that if one of them were to fall, the other would be vulnerable.
Especially the classic rhetoric—"What is happening in Falling Moon City today is what we will be tomorrow!"
Therefore, one must never reveal one's true greed when waging war; even if it involves massacring a city, there must be a plausible excuse.
“Times have changed. Resource extraction in Falling Moon City can be completely replaced by machinery. The residents and rebels who could cause trouble at any time have become stumbling blocks to the Alliance’s development.” The leader stared intently into his son’s eyes and said softly, “The art of rulership is to maintain a balance.”
The wealth of the thirty-nine kingdoms brought people an unparalleled happy life, but idleness breeds trouble and thought breeds change.
To prevent those who are easily satisfied from having too much time to think about and cause trouble, the alliance headquarters must provide appropriate guidance.
This is the meaning and value of reality shows.
Only through comparison can people develop a sense of contentment, become complacent, and enjoy their current situation. Incidentally, this also exposes the baseness and selfishness of the sinners, inspiring hatred and condemnation. With a common enemy, the alliance of thirty-nine nations can become even more stable!
The city of Falling Moon and its garrison must be cleared out.
But their enemies cannot be the alliance, much less us. Since Qin Xiaoyao was chosen, we have been promoting her extensively in Luoyue City and providing them with more food and resources than in previous years, letting them enjoy the immense benefits of having a big star.
Now everyone in Luoyue City is deeply grateful to Qin Xiaoyao and looks forward to next year's selection even more.
This was a glimmer of hope—it misled the criminals into believing that life would get better and better, and that after hardship they would finally see the light.
after……"
Gu Deqiang smiled and continued, "A stark contrast breeds deeper hatred and despair!"
A happy life is hard-won, but it's all Qin Xiaoyao's fault. She knew she was representing Luoyue City, so why couldn't she perform well and earn more rewards? Why did she cause so many deaths and make the audience misunderstand Luoyue City?
She is the source of all the tragedies in Falling Moon City—the most deserving sinner!
The audience, filled with righteous indignation, voted in judgment, indulging in the thrill of being high above, righteous and awe-inspiring, deciding life and death. We, in accordance with public opinion, punished the despicable criminals of Falling Moon City—a win-win situation.
"No, child, you're still too hasty." The leader shook his head, feeling even more disappointed in his only son. He sighed and said quietly, "The despicable actions of Qin Xiaoyao shouldn't implicate the entire city. Otherwise, this hatred will still fall on our heads."
Qin Xiaoyao aroused public outrage, and the Alliance headquarters ordered the revocation of the reward; and cut off supplies for three years as punishment, and symbolically increased moral education.
This is not an exaggeration at all; in fact, one could say that we are very lenient towards the descendants of war criminals.
But with supplies withheld for three years, what will the rebels, who have been waiting for their chance to act, do?
They will seize the opportunity I've given them, unite with those impulsive residents who have fallen from the beautiful moment into despair, and carry out even greater destruction!
The deployment of troops to guard the area at that time would seem perfectly logical to the people of the thirty-nine countries.
All we need to do is promote the Alliance Headquarters' tolerant policy to the residents of Falling Moon City, while condoning and allowing the stationed troops to run rampant and slaughter, and even pretending to kill a few guys associated with the rebels as a 'warning'.
Even if the criminals harbor resentment, they will only vent their discontent on the garrison.
"If Moonfall City can be successfully destroyed, we can mine more resources mechanically, save on supplies needed to feed hundreds of thousands of people, and the Thirty-Nine Kingdoms will be richer and more united, making our alliance army invincible!"
Only now did Gu Deqiang fully understand the significance of his father's strong support for promoting reality shows, and he felt quite impressed.
Using reality shows to deflect attention from various conflicts with minimal effort.
The people of thirty-nine nations were content with entertainment to the point of death and willingly enslaved;
The destruction of Falling Moon City, the most difficult city to manage among the twelve districts, serves as a warning to the other eleven districts.
Why would the rebels rise up in rebellion? Isn't it just to gain some benefits? As long as they are content with enjoying themselves and act as representatives of federal governance, everything will naturally be in balance and everyone will be happy!
Once the old generation of rebels becomes the dragon, another new generation of rebels will naturally overthrow them. At that time, it will just be a new round of negotiations with some new tactics and conditions.
The lesson learned from Fallen Moon City will make them realize that the Federation will never fall, and a head-on confrontation will only lead to utter destruction.
Human nature is greedy; once they get what they want, they naturally become tools...
Gu Deqiang finished his cigarette and casually threw the butt into the ashtray. Watching the rising pale blue smoke, he asked, "Father, is the Federation's selection of stars in District Twelve supposed to exclude those bloodlines that were originally granted fiefdoms?"
“That’s right.” The other person nodded thoughtfully and said, “Demons are not just legends, I’m very certain of that. But how to summon them remains a mystery after years of research.”
We cannot trace the bloodlines of those who were exiled, but new technologies can predict and identify people's blood and DNA, and only those whose values pass the test will be absolutely safe to be selected.
To be honest, Falling Moon City is a real headache.
For four consecutive years, not a single 18-year-old boy or girl passed the review!
They all possess criminal genes such as 'violence,' 'despicable,' and 'cruelty.' In other words, these people would become murderers if provoked. Who knows if they might summon demons in their anger and despair?
Qin Xiaoyao is a good example; her genetic predictions are perfect, indicating she is a harmless child.
With just a little medication to control her condition, and the added boost of a professional actor's performance, she will become our perfect pawn.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting on a tall bookshelf and tilting his head to read those history books, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Criminal gene prediction?"
It sounds quite sophisticated, and the assessment of Qin Xiaoyao seems accurate. After all, in her previous life, she was manipulated like a pawn, ultimately meeting a tragic end…
But who can blame her for being an unreasonable chosen one, and for being reborn in such an unreasonable way that she summoned a demon?
Now that we've learned some of the world's background through the father-son conversation, it's time to make a plan.
Jiang Chen glanced at his almost depleted mana bar, spread his wings, and returned to the cell where Qin Xiaoyao was imprisoned. The father and son began discussing and researching things like summoning demons, which was so boring it made one sleepy.
Killing people like in the original storyline is pointless. Even if a head of state dies, there will still be his political enemies and the entanglements of interests among the thirty-nine countries.
If the overall environment doesn't change, the residents of District 12, who have been exploited and brainwashed through cultural courses for so long, will once again become slaves after a brief period of freedom. Since the mission world's setting is one of universal entertainment to the death, why not go with the flow and create a national star for them!
Qin Xiaoyao attracts attention in front of the camera, thwarting the Federation's plan to destroy Falling Moon City and causing trouble for the old man;
Behind the scenes, I need to find a reliable ally to overthrow the alliance's rule, and then... of course, I'll farm, build infrastructure, and develop a utopian world!
"Host, you're back!" The fluffy little thing really liked its host's new look this time: a fair and handsome face, a tall and perfect figure, and a pair of huge, super cool, jet-black wings.
Real wings that can flap and fly!
"These wings are several meters long when they spread out, they're so cool!" It gently stroked the top-quality wings, its deep blue eyes sparkling with pink hearts. "Is the host on the script cover? After all, the ending this time was amazing, the best supporting actor even reaped the protagonist's soul!"
Hehe... The other auxiliary systems on the forum are so envious of our good luck! We didn't have to do anything, we just rampaged through everything and survived to the finale. How awesome is that!
Jiang Chen: (ー_ー)!!
You take care of the squeaking, and I'll take care of the indiscriminate killing?
The key is that this mission world can still be saved. Wouldn't killing everyone, good or bad, just benefit the other alliances?
Imagine the world's largest confederation collapsing. What would happen after the protagonist's story ends? It would inevitably lead to war, partition, and another fierce battle for control of the land that was bombed and ravaged by blood in the story.
Fighting and killing will set a bad example for children.
"I went to the game design center and then took a stroll around the federal headquarters. In conclusion, none of the unexpected events that happened to Qin Xiaoyao in the reality show were actually unexpected."
She wasn't that annoying; it was just something the production team deliberately created for the sake of the show.
The "Gaga indiscriminate slaughter" was just a backup plan. Since the worst outcome would be a complete wipeout following the script, it's better to do something more interesting.
Fluffy dumpling: o(^?x?^)o
Is that interesting?
Host, don't you just want to eat and drink for free and win without lifting a finger?
"So... what should we do?" It tilted its head and stroked its host's wing again, then leaned its head against it and said softly, "Anyway, I'll follow my host's orders!"
Jiang Chen snapped his fingers. "I'm bound to her by the soul contract, so why not start by reversing Qin Xiaoyao's reputation?"
Without further ado, he took out the laptop he had "bought" along the way and asked the fluffy dumpling to help him connect to the mission world network. As soon as he opened the webpage, he was shocked by the demon system.
It's all entertainment news coming at you!
Famous singer Lin Yuan was proposed to.
"New stills of Best Actor Bai Xiaobing reveal his hand double"
"18th-tier celebrity cheats on wife, award-winning actress gets caught in the crossfire"
"The competition among the top ten recognized ratings queens is fierce; Liang Mi is suspected of buying fans to inflate her viewership data..."
…………
Jiang Chen flipped through more than a dozen pages, but apart from entertainment news and various fan wars, he couldn't find a single piece of social news.
"What a distorted world of entertainment to the death." The fluffy little thing perched on its host's shoulder, rubbing against his wings vigorously, and muttered, "The reality shows produced by the Federation Headquarters are the most popular!"
The internet is flooded with terrifying trailers for the next episode of the reality show, and the comment sections have long been overrun by controlled comments.
"Wang He is one of the guests! I love him so much, the production team is amazing!"
"Waaaaah~ My brother Liu Yihong is finally going to participate in a supernatural event! I can't wait to see his performance!"
"My goodness, don't be too happy yet, there's still the wicked Qin Xiaoyao here this time!"
Don't forget how she killed her pet cat, Katie!
Such a cute, beautiful, and intelligent cat, and she smothered it to death!
People who abuse and kill animals are unforgivable! In my opinion, the lives of innocent cats are more precious than Qin Xiaoyao, who has inferior genes flowing in her veins. The fact that the program team didn't put her in a trial is utterly disgusting!
"That's right, she even deliberately set fire to people's houses! If it weren't for the production team cleaning up the mess, what would have happened to those poor people whose houses were burned down?"
"I'm so sad! My favorite couple is completely ruined because of this scheming woman!"
"Coach, coach! My handsome coach lost his precious life to save a lowly criminal. And that bastard Qin Xiaoyao doesn't even feel a little bit of remorse!"
"I'm so angry! Why didn't the program team put Qin Xiaoyao on trial? Treating the descendants of war criminals with such leniency is an insult to the fallen martyrs!"
"That's right! Sinners don't deserve to live! Their vile and inferior genes don't deserve to waste air!"
"Hey, can you guys wake up? This isn't the first or second time that reality shows have been exposed as scripted, so how come there are still so many brainless fanatics? Qin Xiaoyao is an actress, you know. Does she deserve to die just because she played a scheming, wicked woman according to the show's requirements? The ones who deserve to die are the show's production team who deliberately create trouble for the sake of ratings!"
"But it's a fact that she smothered her pet cat Katie to death!"
"Don't forget she's a criminal, chosen from the descendants of war criminals. Her family is definitely under the control of the production team. If she doesn't obey, she'll have to bear the consequences. Would you dare to resist?"
"Whether there's a script or not is still debatable. Every time you shout about having a script, have you produced any evidence? If you have evidence, then you stupid dog can bark again! If you don't have evidence, then shut your stinking mouth that's trying to whitewash this bastard!"
"With Wang He as the team leader, I feel like this paranormal show is going to be a sure thing. He's the epitome of invincibility; that Liu Yihong guy isn't even worthy of carrying my brother's shoes."
"Pah! Liu Yihong is the real rising star, Wang He is long past his prime!"
"Outdated? The person upstairs is really underestimating Wang He's fans. We're old, not dead, and we're richer than ever! If you don't believe me, go look at the support rankings. When has Wang He ever not had the highest sales?"
…………
The little white cat licked its paws and frowned. "Host, this is really asking the impossible. Qin Xiaoyao's reputation is too bad. It's very difficult for me to reverse her bad reputation on my own! Besides, the reality show has various camera angles that can be viewed by paying members, and after looking at it, I really..."
It scratched its left foot and right foot, looking worried. "This is much more troublesome than just killing indiscriminately."
