MP/Z?sd??M n&]d3?T?i??s??*?#s=: ? > g(o Rj?”O?? While time flowed slowly, Qingyun Company's development progressed rapidly, changing every day.\r

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With the addition of the Qingyun Building and the Feiyun Building, a total of 136 buildings have been constructed, and the population of Qingyun Company has exceeded 100 million, making it a truly behemoth.

Qingyun Company has over 50 million employees; the rest come for tourism and business.

Now, Qingyun Company employees work one day and rest one day.

Unfortunately, Qingyun Company's current development is somewhat distorted; it doesn't need so many employees at all, but these people must be supported. In fact, this is a situation that easily arises when many civilizations develop to a certain stage.

Especially in technological civilizations, as technological power grows stronger and many things become intelligent, less manual labor is needed. However, the growth of a civilization requires the accumulation of a population, so these people must be supported.

This situation will gradually change as civilization develops. As a civilization expands into diverse fields, the more discoveries are made, the greater the demand. Since one person's capacity is limited, more people are needed to accomplish the work.

Just like a flying car, from design to production, from maintenance to modification, every part and every piece of software requires the participation of many people. The production and operation of a massive spaceship requires even more people.

Leaving aside production, just considering navigation, ordinary spaceships are manageable, but warships, these massive war machines, require a large number of civilization's elite to operate. And elites aren't easy to find; they necessitate a massive population!

Once a civilization expands from a planet to interstellar space, its population becomes increasingly insufficient; people are needed everywhere!

In fact, many things are like this: prosperity leads to decline, things reach their extremes and then reverse, and this cycle repeats itself endlessly...

Fortunately, Lin Yun recently discovered another avenue: cultivating rare plants and herbs. Some seeds were purchased from the interstellar trading system and were suitable for Earth's environment, while others were obtained directly from Earth.

Lin Yun tried his best to select projects with short lead times, low labor costs, and high value; manpower was the last thing he needed right now.

This one measure alone will solve the employment problems of tens of millions of people.

The issue of planting locations is currently being addressed, as the need for more and more people will increase in the future.

This is the right path for development.

It should be understood that what will be gained in the future is a large amount of spiritual crystals, not some useless Earth currency.

Qingyun Company produces Qingyun mobile phones, Qingyun cars, and other daily necessities, accumulating a large amount of Earth currency. However, this currency is of little use to Lin Yun; in fact, it causes him to consume a significant amount of spiritual crystals to purchase resources.

If Lin Yun hadn't wanted to control Earth without bloodshed, and hadn't thought that since these items were on Earth anyway, he could collect them whenever he needed them, he probably wouldn't have done it this way.

Lin Yun arranged extensive learning time for his employees, and the results are already evident. Among tens of millions of people, there are always some geniuses. Lin Yun selected suitable individuals and used the Cosmic Trading System to help them quickly learn new knowledge; they have now become elite figures.

Lin Yun instructed them to teach other employees, so that their learning efficiency could improve even faster.

Some others have made great progress in martial arts. It's worth mentioning that some of them had already reached the Martial Artist level before joining Qingyun Company; in fact, several of the strongest had reached the mid-stage Dark Force Martial Artist level.

After investigating, Lin Yun determined that they had joined Qingyun Company not for ulterior motives but genuinely to find work. He then focused on training their martial arts skills. Currently, the strongest among them has reached the early stage of the Transformation Realm, while the rest have reached the peak of the Dark Realm.

Lin Yun wouldn't train them like he did himself, slowly climbing the ranks at the basic level. He would nurture them as quickly as possible, as long as their potential wasn't damaged.

According to his assessment, once humans on Earth reach the Innate Realm, their spiritual power can easily break through to Level 4. At that point, they will not only possess considerable strength but can also assist him in controlling warships at the level of a Level 4 technological civilization.

The number of orphans has now exceeded one million.

Since the battle against the various super-organizations in front of the Qingyun Building, Lin Yun had ordered the robots to conduct a wider search for orphans. There were too many war-torn countries and too many orphans in the world.

One million—and that's only because Lin Yun's transportation speed is limited; otherwise, the number would be much higher.

Currently, the strongest of those orphans has reached the peak of the Ming Jin realm, with over a dozen such orphans. Hundreds have reached the late Ming Jin realm, tens of thousands have reached the mid-Ming Jin realm, and over two hundred thousand have reached the early Ming Jin realm.

This is a terrifying statistic.

The orphans who trained for the longest time reached the peak of the Ming Jin realm from ordinary people in just four months. This is something that many talented martial artists might not be able to achieve even in one or two decades under normal circumstances. Even with Lin Yun's strong support, their martial arts talent cannot be concealed in the slightest.

It must be said that these dozen or so orphans possess exceptional martial arts talent, and Lin Yun has begun to pay close attention to them.

Furthermore, out of a million orphans, over two hundred thousand reached the early stage of the Ming Jin realm. Such a ratio of over five to one in such a short time is truly remarkable.

It's foreseeable that once he distributes these orphans, it won't be long before the Earth reaches a state where everyone is militant.

"Boss, we've received word from back home that they'd like to use the tax-free policy to exchange some high-tech items with us. They say they have decades of experience researching high-tech products, and there are many high-tech items that we might not be able to research as easily as they can. If they develop any usable high-tech products, they'd like to share them with us..."

As Lin Yun was practicing martial arts, a virtual window popped up, and an image of a man in black spoke very respectfully.

"Ignore them!" Lin Yun said, frowning.

He truly couldn't understand how those people could speak to him with such confidence. Even the United States and Tsarist Russia hadn't dared to constantly test him like this. Was it because he was Chinese?

Or perhaps, because I've given in too many times?

Some people, because they give in too many times, are perceived as easy to bully... This happens far too often!

A surge of suppressed anger welled up in Lin Yun's heart again, but he quickly suppressed it again...

"Yesterday, I finally found a level four spiritual item. Now is the time to release the virtual game. That way, we can also solve the problem of a large number of employees' jobs..." After the virtual window disappeared, Lin Yun looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window and said softly.

Virtual games can operate regardless of location or population density, absorbing and refining excess spiritual energy emitted by people worldwide. Furthermore, they allow users to learn various cultivation techniques, accelerating the improvement of their spiritual power.

It is of great significance.

In the future, he could also help Earth enter the cultivation era more quickly.

Regardless of whether Earth's civilization develops towards technological advancement or spiritual cultivation, the physical fitness of humanity must be improved, and spiritual cultivation is essential. This is the trend of development for all civilizations in the universe.
