In the central square of the Microverse Fantasy Camp, fires and candles were lit as dusk fell.
The residents of the world exchanged toasts and chatted, but most of their conversations revolved around the Microworld, as it was now their most common topic of conversation.
More than a hundred people were having dinner together, and it was really lively, just like a company annual meeting. However, it wasn't so serious. There were no speeches from leaders, no song and dance performances or hosts, and no year-end bonuses or raffles. Everyone just chatted and ate and drank casually.
The wines and wheat spirits produced this year are of much higher quality than last year, and they taste quite robust. Even the girls who don't usually drink alcohol will have a little fruit wine at this time, while the children, of course, just have some fruit juice or soup.
Of course, when Jing Wu secretly drank wine, the villagers who happened to see it all tacitly ignored it, and Tang Jiaqi even took fruit wine to trick Chen Liu, wanting to see what little Chen Liu would look like when he was drunk.
“I’ve been secretly drinking alcohol to study my state when I’m drunk. The more I drank, the more sober I became. My body is indeed reacting, but my mind is clear. You don’t need to try to get me drunk,” Chen Liu calmly analyzed to Tang Jiaqi.
Xiao Chenliu always manages to leave people speechless.
It was only today, the Lunar New Year, that Chen Liu stopped studying and spent his time eating, drinking, and joining in the fun with the other children, behaving like a real kid.
This year's New Year celebration in the micro-world was attended by all the residents; not a single one was left out. How could anyone miss out on something like this? It wouldn't take up their time; they could just go to bed early.
"I have some good news to share with everyone."
Chen Yang suddenly stood up and addressed everyone.
All eyes of the realm's inhabitants turned to Chen Yang. Even if Chen Yang didn't manage affairs and acted arbitrarily, he was still the realm lord, and his status and position were forever different from those of other realm's inhabitants. He had absolute control over the quotas for the micro-realms.
In the Micro Realm, there is no such thing as a riot. Even if all the people of the realm oppose Chen Yang, Chen Yang can simply kick them all out of the Micro Realm and recruit a new batch.
Therefore, the people of the realm are very fortunate that their realm lord is not a dictator and does not have any particularly great ambitions. Otherwise, the micro-realm would only have degenerated into a tool for making money, and there would be no happy Spring Festival like this now.
Seeing that all the world's inhabitants were focused on him, Chen Yang smiled and said, "I have decided that in the new year, the number of people introduced to the Microworld each month will be increased by two. These two people will be added to the quota for the introduction of world's inhabitants."
"yeah!"
"Long live the Realm Lord!!!"
"May the Lord of the Realm reign for eternity, and unite all the micro-realms."
Cheers immediately erupted among the people.
“However…” Chen Yang added.
All the people looked at him again. They hated people who spoke in a halting manner, not finishing their sentences in one breath. Adding "but" was the most unpleasant thing of all.
“However, our camp is developing faster, and next year we will proactively develop other areas besides the Xindu camp: the Dongqiu Grassland, Xiaoxiyang, the junction of the Tianyin Mountains and the Loess Plateau. These three places need border residents to go there,” Chen Yang said.
The inhabitants breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be such a simple matter. Some people had wanted to go to other places anyway, since the Xindu camp was not challenging enough. Being able to establish a new camp in another place was what many people hoped for, and it was not a difficult problem at all.
Chen Yang smiled as he looked at the overjoyed residents of the border region.
Given the current pace of development in the camp, adding two more people each month wouldn't be unacceptable. However, too many people aren't good for the camp, as constantly adapting to newcomers is exhausting.
Therefore, he chose multi-directional development, which would allow more people to migrate to different parts of the micro-world, so that the resources in each place could be fully utilized.
The campsite must always maintain its central location.
These are some of the ideas that Chen Yang began to have after the appearance of the Four Directions Gate.
Although only three people can pass through the Four Gates each day, with proper planning, it's not impossible for people to travel back and forth normally. A branch camp can currently accommodate at most a dozen people, which is more than enough.
However, in this way, each region should have at least one or two long-time residents, or several more long-time residents should be sent there to help them establish themselves before development can be discussed.
Chen Yang has a lot to consider, but the people of the world don't need to think about so much. With two new slots added every month, their relatives can enter the micro-world sooner, which is great news for them.
Everyone was happier this New Year. The residents were talking about the future of the Microworld, thinking about what changes the Microworld would undergo next year, and how far the camp would develop next year.
The New Year's Eve dinner was truly sumptuous, and everyone enjoyed it immensely. Besides the fine wine and meat, there was an endless supply of snacks and pastries. The baking team, led by Xia Yue, had started preparing several days in advance, baking all sorts of pastries and storing them in the snowy area until today. Every table had a generous selection of pastries and cookies. For the past few days, the two ovens built at the campsite had been burning non-stop, and the small refrigerators had also been constantly being used.
"Lord of the Realm, please put on a show," said a resident who had been in the micro-realm for less than six months.
As soon as he said this, everyone started to jeer and demand that Chen Yang perform a talent.
"Okay, I'll perform one."
Chen Yang didn't refuse at all, and spoke magnanimously, which drew applause from all the people in the realm.
"What are you going to perform?" Li Su'er whispered to Chen Yang. She knew that Chen Yang hadn't prepared any performance.
"Just watch and see," Chen Yang said with a mysterious smile.
Chen Yang walked up to the crowd, tore off a tablecloth, and casually ripped it into several pieces, each about 30 to 40 centimeters wide.
Just as everyone was surprised by Chen Yang's behavior, Chen Yang suddenly jumped up and threw a tablecloth. With a slight breeze in his palm, the tablecloth flew out like a plate and was stepped on by Chen Yang just as he jumped into the air.
Then, Chen Yang jumped again, using the tablecloth as a springboard, and threw out another tablecloth. He was as agile as a bird, spreading his arms and waving them, then tapping his toes to jump to an even higher position.
Chen Yang, who was originally only allowed to perform double jumps, actually did it five times in a row, one step and one jump. Although the distance was getting shorter each time, it still made everyone stare wide-eyed with disbelief at the miraculous scene before them.
After five jumps, Chen Yang finally couldn't jump any higher. The force he could use with his light body technique had reached its limit. The highest he could do with this move when he was bored was five jumps. He was now almost twenty meters off the ground.
Then, Chen Yang landed, and the villagers realized that there was a campfire right below him.
And so, Chen Yang landed. Amidst several exclamations, the flames avoided Chen Yang and danced around him, forming multiple fire dragons that circled around him.
At this moment, it was as if a god had descended from the heavens.
