The process of Cape Exchange taking over Dream City was not entirely smooth.
The rules of Dream City were broken, attracting covetous forces from the surrounding areas. Fortunately, Changsheng intervened, using his overwhelming strength to instantly take down ten people, completely deterring those who wanted a share of the spoils but hadn't contributed.
Dream City, Moon Goddess Temple.
The Moon Goddess Temple is the center of the entire Dream Chaser City. After the Moon Goddess disappeared, it became the temporary office of the Xintian Gang.
Weng Xintian held up his ultra-thin laptop, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
The experience gained from taking over the Cape Trading Market was almost entirely useless in Dream City.
The Cape Trading Market is small, with almost no permanent residents. Its assets consist of fixed income such as rent, entrance fees, and transaction fees. Other businesses are also easy to manage from scratch.
However, Dream City is very large, with many native residents and their businesses, and the re-registration process alone is a headache.
The most difficult issue is how to resettle and treat the indigenous people.
Many indigenous people are non-evolved; following their original life trajectory, they would die around their thirties or forties due to accumulated radiation. Or, like Hei Niu, they would become disabled early, gradually lose their ability to work, and then die.
The Xintian Gang could, like the Moon Goddess, simply turn a blind eye to such things, concoct a new story to deceive the city's residents, and steal the fruits of their labor.
But immortality is not allowed.
She hoped that the citizens under her rule could at least be spared the effects of radiation and live a relatively stable life.
Chang Sheng initially opposed Xia Chuhe's proposal to take over Dream City and split it 50/50 between the two families. However, she reluctantly agreed because the members of the Xintian Gang were all happy to accept it.
Since you've started, you should do it well. Pretending to be a good person for so long, Changsheng seems to have truly become a soft-hearted god.
In order to achieve the goal of immortality, Weng Xintian is calculating how much resources and money he needs to invest to build an underground city similar to a base, so that the city's residents can live a relatively free and selective life.
Xia Chuhe had read the memoirs of the West District Chief and had already pointed out the official industrial bases and properties of Dream City to Weng Xintian.
However, a large portion of the city's residents used to make a living by scavenging, hunting, extorting outsiders, and engaging in illegal activities, and the jobs provided by official industries were insufficient to support everyone.
After much calculation, Weng Xintian could only come to one conclusion: the revenue from the trading market had to be used to subsidize Dream City in order to barely keep it running.
Fortunately, the soil quality in some parts of Dream City is good. After overcoming the difficult initial period, there is hope that the city can break even or even make a profit in the future.
Weng Xintian quickly drafted a plan for development, urban planning, and work-for-relief programs, and then assigned tasks according to their categories. Of course, Xia Chuhe and others also had to contribute a portion of the initial investment, which came from the profits they were entitled to from the Cape Trading Market.
Xia Chuhe and others had no objection to this.
After inspecting the properties of Dream Chaser City, Xia Chuhe specifically sought out Weng Xintian: "What are your plans to do with the official properties of Dream Chaser City?"
Weng Xintian: "Part of it is still operated by the citizens of Dream City. Taking over the whole would easily arouse the resistance of the citizens."
Xia Chuhe: "I'll recommend someone to you. See if you can use him."
The person Xia Chuhe recommended was Xingxing.
The Xintian Gang directly assigned Xingxing to the position of breeder, where she could start by breeding devil worms.
Xingxing's steadfastness, meticulousness, and intelligence left a deep impression on the team leader. She even decided that once the industries in Dream City were stable in the future, she could recommend Xingxing to become the person in charge of a certain industry.
At the same time, the Xintian Gang members efficiently completed the city planning work and posted job advertisements.
Xingxing immediately signed her older brother up. Although her brother wasn't very bright, he was strong and obedient, so he was perfect for doing manual labor.
Under the guise of recruitment, Xintian Gang directly promoted the new currency in Dream City, using it as wages. The new currency could be used to purchase food and basic necessities in official shops.
With Xingxing and her older brother's salaries, Xingxing's family of five could barely make ends meet.
However, there is still a long way to go before we can buy medicine for the black girl and repay the food donations from our benefactors.
...
Of all the things in Dream City, what surprised Weng Xintian the most was the high-quality soil. The wheatgrass that couldn't grow well in the trading market was thriving in Dream City.
Weng Xintian urgently added rabbit farms to the city's planning, planning to raise a large number of rabbits near the wheat field in the future.
What's even more surprising is that the team leader recommended a person in charge of the hayfield—Xingxing's older sister, Chengmu.
Chengmu was also picked up by Heiniu from the garbage dump. She has been disabled since childhood, missing half of her lower leg and several fingers.
Strange things happened on the first night that Xingxing bought fresh food with her wages.
Thanks to Xia Chuhe's generosity, the Xintian Gang was able to secretly provide benefits to outstanding employees, allowing them to buy eggs and wheat at lower prices.
Thinking that she could improve her family's meals, Xingxing gritted her teeth and bought five eggs and two pounds of wheat.
Because the eldest brother and Xingxing work very hard, the younger sister is young, and Heiniu is not in good health, Chengmu is mostly responsible for cooking.
Xingxing added a few words: "These are eggs, just boil them in water for about ten minutes. This is wheat, you can steam wheat rice."
Chengmu rarely saw such novel food. As she carefully picked out a handful of wheat rice, she said enviously, "I wish I could go to work too, but unfortunately, with this body, I can't do anything."
Chengmu put the wheat into the water, and the green wheat sprouts swayed in the water.
The wheat sprouts looked alive, but didn't seem like they were edible...
“Uh, Xingmei, Xiaomai… is this normal?” Chengmu asked.
Xingxing peeked out and noticed something was wrong. She remembered that when she first bought the wheat, it didn't have any sprouts.
The stars were afraid that the food would mutate, so they dared not eat it directly.
By the time I went to work the next day, the malt had grown to the length of my palm.
Xingxing took the malt to the head of the breeding team and asked him. The head was overjoyed and asked her, "Where did you get it? Was it the batch we sold to you yesterday? How did you grow it?"
After Xingxing told the captain about her family situation, the captain immediately located Chengmu and conducted a special test with her. He discovered that Chengmu had the ability to catalyze plant growth.
The existence of costs directly gives a huge boost to rabbit farming plans.
Plant lots of wheat straw and raise fat rabbits—it'll be just around the corner!
At the same time, this incident also served as a reminder to Weng Xintian—Dream City had previously only focused on pursuing beauty, and many evolved beings had been neglected, without even having the opportunity to become aware of their own special abilities.
The immediate priority is to screen the citizens of Dream City and identify other evolved beings.
The increase in evolved beings can greatly improve production efficiency, increase production channels, and reduce the pressure on city construction.
The screening, conducted over just two days, provided significant assistance to Dream City and changed the destinies of many individuals.
