Chapter 2963: Eilraun Sub-network Goes Online

At present, Xia Duo has not yet determined the final scale of the Research Center; this requires waiting for the projected revenue data of the Computing Power Pool to be calculated before a decision can be made.

One certainly cannot pre-order an ultra-large-scale research team now, only to find that even the peak revenue of the Computing Power Pool cannot support it; wouldn't that be too ridiculous?

Of course, this is an extreme situation, but under normal circumstances, he would also consider the possibility of the Psionic Network Research Center investing additional funds.

Every country has its own ideas, and Xia Duo has his own as well; it is best to make all kinds of preparations—one cannot let the Computing Power Pool drag down the Research Center, nor can one let the Computing Power Pool become a tool for various countries to amass wealth; he still wants to use this to accomplish some real things.

……

Two days later, the Yierlan Sub-network successfully "went online"; the initial scale was only five thousand, the same as Akaola, but this is a signal—an important signal for various countries to accelerate the construction of sub-networks.

In addition, the issue of charging for the Computing Power Pool is also being studied urgently.

In these two days, another major event occurred—Elves have begun to flee the Northland, or rather, Demon Descendants and their normal Elf family members, under the pressure of the impending comprehensive testing, have directly chosen to run away.

It is called comprehensive testing, but as of now, only Yierlan and Keman have started, and the efficiency is not high; the reason for this is, on one hand, that testing indeed takes time, and the initial lack of preparation makes it take even longer.

On the other hand, and this is a very critical point, the Alliance does not want to put too much pressure on the Demon Descendants, lest they be driven to desperate measures, hoping that everything will pass smoothly.

……

Or perhaps, follow the Darkness Society for one last frantic revelry before death?

Because it was very slow, when changing the Identity Card, we were distributed seven Blue Gold Coins of the same style; there is no need to envy others for that.

But tracing the source of this series of events, it actually did not just happen within these one or two days; as early as when the two high-ranking families fled in Keman, there were signs, it just only concentrated and erupted recently.

But now, the situation has changed; some Demon Descendants have started to run away, and this will also give a signal to other Demon Descendants: do they choose to stay in the Northland, counting on the Alliance to keep its word, and never have their cases reopened in the future?

Consequently, one Blue Gold Coin after another, distinct from the gold of the past, began to spread rapidly across the plaza; those who touched a Blue Gold Coin seemed to have had good luck, and those who hadn't touched one, while a bit depressed, wouldn't be depressed for too long.

Xia Ling.

This is not a good signal.

At the same time, after careful consideration, Xia Duo decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the comprehensive testing to carry out the replacement of the Territory's new currency and the replacement of new Identity Cards.

At the same time, the Clerk at the table next to them also called out a new name; hearing their own name, Xiuyi and the other five villagers from Xinba Village immediately stepped forward to the front of the table.

At the replacement point in the corner of the plaza, three or four tables were lined up in a row; behind each table sat a Security Officer, a Magic Affairs Officer, and a Clerk from the Household Registration Department.

Delaying for a few days is mainly considering that there are too many things to do in the Territory in July, so staggering it slightly now is better; secondly, it is to find an excuse for the comprehensive testing.

The place to change the new Identity Card is at Code Plaza, while the place to change the new currency is at the Government Hall.

Rather than pinning one's hopes on others, it is better to control one's own destiny.

Anyone sitting here for half a day would feel numb, but duty-bound, that Security Officer still quickly took the old identity document handed over by Xiuyi, checked it briefly, and said, "Pass."

But only the Code Plaza side proceeds in order by village; the Government Hall side, however, is first-come, first-served; any resident—including prospective residents—can bring Gold Coins to queue up there to exchange for the new-style 1-unit Blue Gold Coin.

Although, as of now, the Northland Alliance's reputation in the eyes of the common people is still not bad, even Elves and Demon Descendants know that counting on others is not as good as counting on oneself.

If possible, it would be best to establish a model as soon as possible, so that the remaining Demon Descendants can see the Alliance's attitude clearly; although the effect of doing so might not be much, the difference between doing it and not doing it is still very large.

Of course, no one would refuse this; on one hand, one or two Gold Coins is not a large sum of money, and even if they were lost, it would be no big deal; on the other hand, it is because everyone queuing around is from the same village, so it is embarrassing to refuse, or perhaps it is even an intentional show-off—such an easy opportunity to stand out is hard to come by usually.

"Xiuyi!"

Code Plaza was bustling with people; the residents who received the notice came to the plaza by village. Today, they were notified of two things: one is to change to new Identity Cards, and the other is that the Territory is changing to new currency.

"It's Xinba Village's turn now; come over the moment I call your name, don't waste everyone's time!"

The one who just called out was one of the Clerks; after finishing, he immediately sat down and called out the next name while checking the register on the table:

Considering the residents' level of acceptance, the exchange currently opened by the Territory only has 1-unit Blue Gold Coins; only after 1-unit Blue Gold Coins are fully popularized will other denominations of Blue Gold Coins be opened.

Consequently, a chain reaction appeared, and incidents of Demon Descendants fleeing occurred one after another in various countries.

A Gold Coin is not a very large amount of funds in today's Xia Ling; when someone showed the Blue Gold Coin they had just exchanged from the Government Hall, people would occasionally ask to pass it around.

After Xia Duo's Territory received the Blood Collection Magic Tool, he immediately arranged for the Tower of Time Mages to cooperate with Laidun to organize all residents to undergo testing.

Then he casually threw Xiuyi's old Identity Card into the wooden box behind him.

Or should one seize the time to run away before being tested?

The Northland Alliance even specifically convened a plenary meeting for this, and Xia Duo also attended to participate in the discussion, but after much discussion, it was nothing more than strengthening border management while reiterating the Alliance's principles for handling Demon Descendants (those without a criminal record will not be pursued).

This method of pacifying people's hearts and dividing factions was effective at the beginning; although the Demon Descendants hidden among normal Elves did not take the initiative to report their identities to the Alliance, they did not cause any bad incidents either.

Against such a background, Netheril finally distributed to each territory the Blood Collection Magic Tool, the Imprint Spell, and the Da Fan Wei Zhen Ce Fa Shu designed based on this encrypted imprint for comprehensive testing.

……

Now, the people queuing in the plaza, some got up early after receiving the notice, went to the Government Hall to exchange some new currency first, and only then came to the plaza to queue for the new Identity Card.

So he hurriedly moved his extended arm to the right by a foot, just right in front of the Security Officer; this Security Officer didn't mind Xiuyi's mistake.

Being stared at by countless eyes from behind, Xiuyi inevitably felt a bit nervous, subconsciously handing the old Identity Card he was holding in his hand to the Clerk; only after being stopped by the other's gaze did he realize he had done a stupid thing.

To this end, the Alliance also publicly issued a notice, clearly stating that as long as one had not participated in vicious incidents before, even if Demon Bloodline was detected, the Alliance would not pursue it.
