Doctor, I'm really strong!

It reminded her of the lily from before. Speaking of which, in Terra, the monsters don't seem to be the kind she understood. Tengu are a type of monster in Tripoli. Is it a classification issue caused by different worlds?
Lightning truly admired, and even longed for, the community.
The reason is simple: this country showed her the possibility of prosperity and development. She once promised the people a dream, but it is still difficult for a dream to become a reality. However, the community has made it possible to turn the dream into an ideal and the ideal into reality.
More importantly, the management of a community is the management of people from one another.
It's not a divine contract between Liyue, but a contract between people, a system that allows people to live well even without gods.
It's truly incredible. In Teyvat, no matter how a country's gods govern, their transcendent status inevitably has a huge impact on that country, and this impact is irreversible. Once the god who governs the country has a problem, the entire country will collapse.
When people make mistakes, at least someone stops them, but when God makes a mistake, who will stop God?
Some fanatical believers even think that God is infallible, thus launching blind xenophobic movements and causing even bigger problems. This has happened in the history of various countries, the only difference being the scale and degree of impact.
The simplest example is the Inazuma Three Commissioners system. Under Raiden Shin's rule, this system was very efficient and a model of rule by man. However, if something were to happen to her and a suitable successor could not be found, the three commissioners would start fighting each other. Power is exclusive, but no one wants to have less power, resulting in serious internal struggles.
Raiden once tried to let go and allow Inazuma to operate under the management of Sanbō, but a bunch of problems arose in less than six months, and he had to abandon the project hastily in the end.
Because these small problems will soon ignite more conflicts. The core of this system is to have a superior who can convince people. As the Thunder General, no one has any objections. But if he becomes an ordinary person, none of the Three Commanders will submit to anyone else.
Humans are a species with a very high ceiling and a very low floor. If General Raiden had continued to ignore things and let the entire Inazuma clan fight amongst themselves, they would eventually have been able to develop a suitable system, but the sacrifices would have been enormous, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This is something Lei Dian really doesn't want to see, but she can't find a specialized training institution to reform the system.
Therefore, Liu Jiuli's greatest help does not come from his own strength, but from the wisdom of his ancestors over five thousand years.
In the course of five thousand years, what kind of troubles haven't our ancestors encountered? What you're playing now is just what our ancestors left over. The so-called political wisdom of the West is nothing but low-class schemes and tricks. Our ancestors' real trump card was the open strategy of leveraging the general trend of the world.
For example, the current competition between the community and its neighboring countries in all areas is out in the open. Except for the military, everything else is in motion. It may seem like there are no swords or shadows, but it is more terrifying than nuclear weapons.
After all, nuclear weapons can't change other people's minds, but propaganda can.
If used properly, it can even cause a country to first reform and then disintegrate. Yes, Big Brother, I'm talking about you.
For feudal monarchs, this was like a sword hanging over their necks, and it was getting closer and closer.
Some people just don't realize it. They are indulging in the prosperity created by the community, living a life of decadence, thinking that the war is over and that peace will last for a long time to come. They believe that the nobles and capitalists will still call the shots here.
There are intelligent people, but they cannot change the general trend.
On this issue, Raiden from Teyvat is not on the same side as the old beneficiaries of Terra. What she wants is not a static country; the dream she promises her people is a future and hope.
Therefore, the Northern Shogunate of the Eastern Kingdom is actually taking a covert approach to gradually move closer to the community.
I wonder if the person in the community has noticed.
Section 272: A Small Town, Visitors from Both Sides
(Fourth update! Where are everyone's rewards? Hand them over quickly!)
"Is this Syracuse?"
SilverAsh looked at the city before him and felt that his brain was not quite up to the task.
Their route to the community happened to pass through Syracuse, so they saw many local Syracuse sights along the way, including but not limited to: street fights, free duels, battle royale tournaments, and gang wars.
In a country where gangs serve as the basic level of governance, it's quite normal to see such a vibrant and competitive scene.
However, as they moved closer to the community, the urban landscape changed. The overall impression was that the city was safer and the streets were cleaner. Although the buildings were still in the traditional Syracuse style, they looked refreshing.
What changes is not the physical body, but the spirit and vitality.
Upon reaching the border city, it became a completely unfamiliar place.
Koja, a mobile city, was originally an obscure border city in Syracuse with a population of only 30,000. But now its total population has exceeded 500,000, expanding tenfold to the size of a bustling large mobile city.
It is said that there will be further expansion, making it a city full of opportunities. Many Syracuse families have come here to invest.
But the local mayor was well aware that his current position was not due to the families in Syracuse, but rather to the community standing behind him. Because of the community, those powerful figures in Syracuse had to treat him with respect and obey the law here.
Otherwise, such a prosperous city would have been fought to the death by a group of powerful families long ago.
Koga's current economic system basically relies on import and export trade to operate. Without the goods of the community, the city has no value.
Smart people always know how to choose sides. The mayor of Coga seems to have received the Italian script, and his move was precise and decisive.
The police system in Koga is now under the control of the Community, the city's garrison is also the Community's Red Army, and the Community holds absolute control of more than 50% of the economic entities. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the Community's overseas Lungmen.
The person in charge of managing this area is a professional, the former "Rat King of Longmen" - Lin Gerui.
It matches my major.
After all, this is not a city of the community. Even if the mayor and high-ranking officials of Koga take sides, the community cannot directly bring it under its control. Therefore, it adopts a management method similar to a special administrative region, allowing the region's economy to operate according to local traditions. In other words, gang-based economies exist here.
However, they have to register with the police station before they can do anything, otherwise they'll be suppressed. When the iron fist of the community comes down, no one will dare to plead for them.
As for the future, if Koga becomes part of the community, then all gangs will disappear. The community has its own grassroots management organization, and if you have any complaints, you will be physically eliminated.
What SilverAsh sees now is Koga, a bustling modern metropolis supported by the community.
After learning about the actual situation in the city, SilverAsh gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Community.
"Have they already managed to spread their influence to this extent?"
At this moment, the messenger said, "I have heard that neighboring countries have similar mobile cities, or border trade cities built by the community, all of which are comparable in scale to Koga. It is truly unimaginable how much financial and material resources they have."
Horn Peak continued, "The local prices are very cheap, and ordinary people can afford them. There are no beggars or homeless people in the city. I heard they have all been taken away. The community is recruiting, and they treat infected people and ordinary people the same."
SilverAsh: "Treat everyone equally, huh? Not surprising, after all, it's a country that provides cheap and effective drugs to the infected."
At this point, SilverAsh recalled the Oripathy cure his sister had taken. It was incredibly effective and very cheap, with the packaging stating "Made by the Commonwealth People." In contrast, a similarly effective drug in Colombia cost one million LMD per box.
Let alone ordinary people, even people with tens of millions in assets can't afford it.
As for the prices of other goods, just look at the prices of the same goods in Sherag; those middlemen are making a killing.
Thinking about this, SilverAsh felt increasingly compelled to establish trade relations with the Community, but...
The ideology and political system of the community are far too avant-garde for the snowy realm, and problems are bound to arise. When introducing them, could we perhaps be more selective and prevent dangerous elements from entering?
What SilverAsh and the others didn't know was that in the hotel where they were staying, right next door, were guests from Victoria, whose target was also the Community.
The King of Carrion, the Blood Lord, and the Shapeshifter, as well as Manfred, who represents Theresis.
Unfortunately, the Sarkaz royal court's status is not recognized internationally, so this is the only way they can enter the community.
"You can see it all, it's incredibly prosperous, and Kazdel is just ahead. I'm really looking forward to it."
The King of Carrion was filled with anticipation for the journey ahead, especially as they were about to enter the homeland of the Sarkaz, the former royal court—Kazdel.
“These are just children’s toys. I’m more interested in what the community’s army is like.”
The bloodthirsty and warlike Blood Demon Lord said this while scraping his nails.
The shapeshifter looked out the window, lost in thought, its eyes filled with anticipation.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Manfred got up and walked to the door. When he opened it, two police officers in uniform were standing there.
"Is Mr. Blood Demon here?" (The name registered by the Blood Demon Lord) Manfred asked in return, "What can I do for you?"
One of the officers said, "This gentleman is suspected of indecent assault against a woman. Please come with us."
Manfred was stunned and instinctively turned to look at the Blood Lord. Was this guy really that good?
No, that's not it. It's just that the Blood Demon Lord got hungry at night and went out to find food. As a result, he sucked the blood of several girls until they developed acute anemia. And he himself is too clueless about how to hide himself. He committed the crime under the camera, so isn't he just asking to be found out?
Koga's police system is on par with the Community. You, Blood Lord, are not the Joker, and this is not Gotham.
But, how should I put it, for the mighty Blood Demon Lord to be accused of molesting a woman and then arrested and detained... this kind of thing...
"Are you going to arrest me?"
The Blood Demon Lord stood up with a smile, but the surrounding air became noticeably thicker, and there was even a bloody smell.
Manfred quickly said, "My Lord, this won't do!"
The Blood Demon Lord sneered, "What, you think I can't defeat these two insects?"
At that moment, the two policemen rushed out the door without saying a word and disappeared.
"That's it?" The Blood Demon Lord looked at him as if he were watching trash being rolled out of the house.
Manfred sighed. Well, at least no one was killed.
Unbeknownst to them, the two police officers immediately dialed headquarters after leaving.
"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Patrol Team 114. We have discovered a superhuman committing a crime. The target is extremely dangerous and has a serious tendency towards violence. Requesting backup, requesting backup."
"Headquarters received. Reinforcements will arrive within ten minutes."
Chapter 273: You guys are the ones who started this trouble!
(Update delivered, (~ ̄▽ ̄)~)
Terra has extraordinary beings, namely Originium Arts users.
These people may be trained sorcerers or self-taught individuals, but regardless of their background, the day they master Originium Arts, they have already distanced themselves from ordinary people and become extraordinary.
That's how humans are. When they are different from others in some way, they feel good about themselves and think they are the only protagonist in the world. Little do they know that the reason may be that they are having a mental breakdown.
If one surpasses ordinary people on a physical level in the real world, then it's normal for them to inflate to the point of taking off from the spot.
In terms of actual operation, Originium Arts still rely on Originium as the starting energy. Therefore, even extraordinary individuals are not so extraordinary that they can defy fate on their own, unless they are extremely rare exceptions who can resonate with the Originium energy in the surrounding environment through their own energy, thereby exerting a magic-like effect.
Governments around the world tend to be laissez-faire when it comes to these talented individuals.
Since the lowly commoners will die from all sorts of suffering anyway, and they can accept dying from various man-made disasters, they can naturally accept being trampled to death like ants by superhumans.
For example, in Letania, tower sorcerers, who are considered extraordinary, can turn ordinary people into their experimental subjects.
For example, in the Eastern Kingdom, warriors with extraordinary abilities can test their swords on ordinary people.
Similar situations exist in other countries, varying only in degree and number of people. In short, the treatment of extraordinary individuals inevitably surpasses that of ordinary people; this is an unspoken rule.
However, Liu Jiuli felt this was unacceptable, so he established a legal system. Any extraordinary individual who dared to act like Zhang San within the community's territory would be made clear by the people's police and the people's army that even outlaws only have one life.
This has happened many times before. As long as someone breaks the law, they should be punished accordingly. If you dare to defy the state's violent authorities, child, you are very brave. Be careful in your next life.
In short, extraordinary individuals do not enjoy any privileges in the community unless they make contributions. In that case, they can enjoy corresponding treatment based on their contributions. This is the equality of the community, the equality of people in terms of power and responsibility.
The confidence to do this stemmed from the strong combat effectiveness of the Red Army, which Liu Jiuli had personally trained. However, the strength of individual Red Army soldiers relied on equipment, which required maintenance, upkeep, upgrades, and modifications. Therefore, for a single soldier to maintain strong individual combat effectiveness, he had to rely on the logistics system built by the state, with comprehensive dependence from industry to the military. This meant that individuals who had gained great strength could not surpass the collective and therefore did not have the right to bargain with the collective.
