Li Zongmeng immediately summoned Qiu Man and asked him to investigate the thoughts of the survivors in each base.
In the capital, because they often come into contact with Li Sikai, they all speak of space ability users with gratitude.
Of course, this was also partly due to Li Sikai providing a lot of fruits and vegetables to help the survivors.
In other places, because they were far away and there was no news of spatial ability users on television, they didn't enjoy any extra benefits. So many people knew about it, but didn't feel anything deeply about it. Over time, they forgot about it, and naturally, they couldn't collect any faith points.
What Qiu Man didn't know was that many people at the base outside were now doubting the authenticity of the space-manipulation ability users. After all, no one had actually been inside, and it was difficult to prove the existence of such a thing as a space based solely on a video.
What if it was just an official ploy to fool them? After all, there was nothing else besides a press conference.
There was no relief, and no other superhumans.
Besides, it's summer, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a piece of land and create that kind of scene. The so-called white fog around you is either edited with video software, or it's from a laboratory, or the edge of a greenhouse.
Unless there is other evidence to prove that it is real, or you can create a patch of green for us in the dead of winter.
However, they only dared to say these things secretly, not daring to let the guards know. After all, having incorrect thoughts was a deadly matter; it was fine for them to gossip among themselves, but if it were taken to a major level, they would be finished.
It was because of this mindset, coupled with the fact that the whole country was hibernating, that Qiu Man was unable to obtain the complete news.
So Li Sikai had a wry smile on his face, looking quite helpless.
General Li was at a loss; this faith value required genuine sincerity. Insincerity was simply unacceptable.
Qiu Man thought for a moment and suggested, "Either rebroadcast the press conference or distribute relief food."
Without hesitation, General Li said, "The former is possible, but the latter is impossible. The food in Xiao Kai's space should be saved for critical moments. We're not even at our wits' end yet, and if we start providing relief now, I'm afraid it will create dependency among them."
Qiu Man nodded, realizing he had given a bad idea.
"Alright, have someone go to Xiao Kai's space to shoot some new videos and broadcast them at noon and in the evening."
Qiu Man's eyes lit up. He took out his phone and said eagerly and obsequiously, "Why bother looking for someone else? I can go myself!"
He hadn't been inside for a long time and missed the warm environment and the fruit he could eat as much as he wanted.
Li Zongmeng glanced at Qiu Man before nodding, "Go in, and remember to bring me a watermelon when you come out."
Li Sikai suppressed a laugh and helped Qiu Man inside before saying, "Just tell me what you want to eat, there's no need for someone else to do it for you!"
"I forget when I'm busy." General Li waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay, I just treat myself to something nice every now and then."
Qiu Man, inside the space, was like a fish in water, instantly letting loose. First, he picked a bunch of fruit from the tree and ate until he was half full, then he took the eggs cooked by the guard and ate until his belly was round, and finally he slowly took out his phone and took a lot of videos.
There are images of the overall spatial layout, images of some plant details, and images of guardians harvesting or sowing seeds.
In short, we took a lot of photos, and two hours later, we finally shouted to the sky with satisfaction, "Xiao Kai, I'm done, you can let me out now."
But at that moment, Li Sikai was fast asleep.
Qiu Man had been inside for so long that he had forgotten about it. Besides, there were always so many people in the space, making a lot of noise every day, so he cut off the connection, otherwise his brain would definitely explode.
So no matter how much Qiu Man shouted for fifteen minutes, Li Sikai remained unmoved. Finally, Qiu Man got tired and joined everyone in pulling up radishes until the entire acre was pulled up and replanted before he was released from the space.
He smeared mud on his hands, then wiped it on his forehead, making his face a mess. Looking at Li Sikai's exhausted face, he asked, "Why did it take you so long to release me?"
Li Sikai smiled sheepishly, "I was a little tired, so I went to rest and didn't hear you." If he hadn't subconsciously checked the space after waking up, he could have left the person inside for days.
Qiu said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I just spent some time farming in there. It's just that I haven't done this in a long time, and I feel like my stamina isn't keeping up."
"Then you can go in and take a look around when you have time." Li Sikai smiled and looked at the sky outside the window: "It's getting dark, time to get off work, the snow is heavy outside."
Qiu Man nodded: "Then you should go back and rest too."
The new video about the space was released to the canteens of various bases three days later. It included narration and cut out anything that was out of place.
The video sparked a viewing frenzy as soon as it was played. Everyone stared longingly at the green plants appearing on the television screen, but after their initial enviousness, they returned to reality, because outside it was freezing cold and it was definitely not spring.
Sigh, so what if there's someone with superpowers? They're not from our area, so we can't benefit from their abilities.
Moreover, those who suspected the officials of fabricating the story became even more convinced of their suspicions because they discovered that the video was not smooth at all.
They firmly believe that the video has been synthesized or edited, and what the league showed them was only what the other side wanted them to see.
Therefore, Li Zongmengguan never expected that after the space was made public, the increase in faith value would actually decrease instead of increase.
Everyone found it unbelievable. It took more than half a month of investigation to learn about the thoughts of some people at the bottom of society.
The bigwigs were extremely troubled and racked their brains for a solution.
Finally, Li Sikai said, "How about we tell them that the space needs to be upgraded with faith points?" He hadn't said anything before because he was worried that revealing his weakness would hinder him, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to announce it.
"I think we need to explain the stakes clearly, to let them know that only by upgrading the space can they produce more food. And the space upgrade is related to their beliefs. In short, it's about their thoughts and their own interests," Qiu Man added.
After some thought, General Li agreed to the proposal. However, the effect was minimal and completely failed to meet expectations.
Adding information afterward will arouse suspicion among many people. They will question your motives and wonder why you didn't explain it from the beginning.
Li Sikai had already guessed this outcome, so he wasn't too sad.
He relied on the small amount of faith points he gained each day, accumulating them little by little. Finally, at the end of December, he broke through the level three barrier.
The space expanded to tens of thousands of acres in one fell swoop, and a small mountain also appeared.
Upon investigation, it was found that there were many wild medicinal herbs on the mountain, and they all appeared to be quite old.
Li Sikai was overjoyed and immediately shared the good news with his uncle.
