Chapter 1021: The Dusty Realm of Union Society
As the saying goes, wanting to taste the flavor, this 1v2 bed competition has finally come to a close.
Sister Bai, under my fervent persuasion, has realized the essence of Life Clone, and that cognitive barrier, as thin as a window paper, was ultimately easily pierced.
Leaving Sister Bai with an unforgettable experience seems to have unveiled a new way of play for her.
However, the bed competition is merely an embellishment of life.
Returning to the daily routine I am familiar with, there are still many things worth pursuing waiting for me to realize.
For example, the skills related to Life Clone and consciousness cultivation, which concern the “revival” of my friend Ling Yi and the transactions with the consciousness of the Main World.
Another example is the Primordial Great Fool Dream Transformation Technique, which relates to the opening of the Fool Dream Life Sequence.
And then there is the Witch Union Society and the academy wars, which are key to the reconstruction of the order in the Main World.
As long as the Extraordinary Academy stands, the reconstruction of social order in the Main World is just a joke. If it collapses, the so-called academy war triggering family wars will become the ignition of the chain reaction for reorganizing the order in the Main World.
The reason I am so focused on the Witch Union Society now is mainly to allow the Life Clone experiment to access infinite magic power.
The commotion regarding the experiment of infinite magic power is quite immense, and the Witch Academy must talk about it repeatedly; Principal Mei has to have daily discussions with me.
So, it can only be done elsewhere.
For instance… some of the reserved members in the Zero Special Operations Sequence are quite suitable over in the Dayrock World.
The reason many members of the Operations Sequence are still left is to exert extraordinary suppression. After all, if the Extraordinary Academy collapses, it won’t be a joke when chaos ensues.
Without sufficient extraordinary combat power to suppress, it can escalate in moments.
At this moment, the Union Society is still holding a regular meeting to discuss some matters, mainly figuring out how to digest the Dayrock World they have conquered.
There, a Wanlian Main Network Tree has already been planted, so the academy hopes to treat it as a pilot for promoting extraordinary power, with the root system network as the core to construct an extraordinary industry.
They plan to collaborate with some families there, suppress others, grant qualifications for knowledge, and standardize the promotion of extraordinary power.
This whole set of operations is actually very similar to the model in the Expanding Realm, and once this model is rolled out, it signifies another major significance!
Legal possession of extraordinary resources!
Heaven knows how enticing this statement is for a family.
For matters at the inano level, it has little to do with the Extraordinary Academy; what the Witch Academy needs are obedient, non-disruptive families.
Currently, the Union Society within the Witch Academy is continuing to contemplate other matters.
The Witch Union Society plunders the academy wars, attacking and claiming academy resources for the Union Society, merging Earth into Witch Earth, with the families taking over the frameworks and industries of the opposing side.
This shows that the current Union Society has preliminarily explored a feasible path.
However, this path is based on the Witch Academy actively promoting open extraordinary power and necessitating continuous expansion and invasion.
To sustain the academy wars, the Witch Academy’s attitude towards other extraordinary academies is becoming increasingly targeted.
Moreover, the project regarding witch battleships has also made progress.
Within the Witch Academy, there are plenty of places to build strategic equipment like floating battleships.
However… there are no students with construction experience or accumulation related to this in the Witch Academy.
Even… they don’t even know how to design battleship blueprints.
But there really are no shortcuts to take.
It’s just a battleship; many extraordinary witches have seen it, but the battleships extraordinary witches have seen can sail in the void!
This technology accumulation for battleships is absolutely a waste in this world; it’s just about guiding students to build one that can fly, adding some defense and attack capabilities, and that’s more than enough.
So, within the Witch Academy, some elective courses are now adding theories and practical construction related to witch battleships…
As for how long it will take to build a battleship that can fly to the skies… that is uncertain.
At this moment, at the Baking House Society’s base.
“Cleveland, report on the recent situation of the Union Society; just mention some important matters, and you can handle the trivial ones yourselves,” I said.
Recently, Cleveland has temporarily participated in many meetings of the Union Society on my behalf.
After all, I am very delegated in these matters; I only grasp some details through the information they organize.
“Recently, there have been many internal disagreements within the Union Society, mainly surrounding some issues in the Rock Domain. Since you are not here, they have placed some family interests above the society to debate.”
“Currently, several core society representatives in the Operations Sequence wish for us to withdraw the Zero Operations Sequence from the Rock Domain and hand it over to them for management, claiming that this would better maintain the safety of the Rock Domain.”
“However, some core society members believe that this would cause us to lose many resources and speak out, suggesting that we maintain the status quo and continue to handle matters ourselves.”
“In conclusion, the debate is still ongoing, and no clear conclusion has been reached,” Cleveland summarized.
I nodded, indicating my understanding.
“These disagreements are normal; after all, every family wants to protect their interests. You must remain neutral and cannot be led by the nose, especially being wary of potential scheming and plots,” I reminded her.
“I will,” Cleveland softly replied.
To facilitate communication with families, our Baking House lacks a base of support from any family, which complicates the acceleration of the Dayrock World’s integration into the larger witch family factions.
“I do not agree with this. Not to mention that Dayrock Academy is a domain you personally lead, as a pilot for laying down a Wanlian Main Network Tree, its surrounding institutions are also affiliated to the Elf Academy, and its strategic value is incalculable…”
Cleveland picked some important matters to report to me; I recognized her decisions and did not interfere excessively.
Interests and such should be fought for; otherwise, it just benefits the families.
As for the Baking House becoming one of the eight core societies, many other societies seeking cooperation, and many families eager to take a stand, I am indifferent; I have clearly delegated the authority regarding this to Cleveland to decide.
Keep what is useful and good, and discard what is useless or parasitic.
The Core Realm is destined to get chaotic, while the development of the Baking House mainly lies in the Expanding Realm.
The order in the Expanding Realm is currently developing in line with the expectations of the Witch Academy, slowly aligning with the Ninglan World.
The promotion and integration of non-power are still within an acceptable range.
The reason the Witch Academy dares to promote extraordinary power so vigorously is primarily due to the Witch Race backing it; even if the Main World undergoes a mad rush towards universal extraordinary development, it cannot overcome the control of extraordinary races.
At this time, Cleveland also touched upon a rather interesting topic.
The world represented by the Dayrock Elf Academy is far from the limit of the Witch Academy, nor is it the limit of the Union Society.
After observing the operations of the Witch Academy, other extraordinary academies merely lingered on discussing the Witch Academy’s actions.
Even though each academy only has internal networks, such as the Elf’s natural network, the Wizard Academy’s wizard network, and the Witch Academy’s earth vein network, etc.
These networks do not interconnect, but that does not mean academies cannot communicate with each other.
For example, the vast Internet network of outside society.
As for the agreements signed by the Witch Academy, restricting the disclosure of information to the outside world is, in fact, evaded.
By layering an extraordinary dark web over the Internet of external society, this restriction can be bypassed.
This allows the outside network to communicate between students of various extraordinary academies.
Such operations are basically known to all extraordinary academies; since they do not cross the line, they tacitly accept their existence.
And only a family that controls the Internet in the Main World could collaboratively build such an extraordinary dark web in a core realm.
So… within extraordinary academies, general students really do not come into contact with something like the extraordinary dark web.
Just… for instance, me.
Extraordinary dark web accounts mainly circulate among family members; there are also dark web services available on a street within the black market, and even dark web access can already be built on the phones issued by the academies.
Even though the Witch Academy has fully promoted the Knowledge Seed, it cannot fundamentally replace the phone; many students retain their phones out of safety considerations.
“Currently, due to the performance of our Zero Special Operations Sequence in their first battle, the Union Society is now facing a dilemma,” Cleveland continued to explain some issues regarding the Union Society, which piqued my interest.
“That is, academy battles may not proceed smoothly. The three top academies have jointly declared that if the Witch Academy’s Union Society instigates an unwarranted academy war, they will step in to suppress this evil behavior of the Witch Academy.”
“After meeting assessments, if the three top academies unite and stir up disturbances among the affiliated academies around us, the Witch Academy won’t have the capacity to cope with so many enemies; even if Sister Xiao Han personally intervenes, she cannot stop the joint forces of the opposing academies.”
“If they are truly that foolish, then even I cannot help them,” I laughed and shook my head in evaluation, “So, did the meeting come up with any good countermeasures?”
“So far, the meeting has not discussed any good solutions. While many suggestions were raised, ultimately, the identification of the bad individuals within the Witch Academy would leave the Union Society’s actions in a passive position,” Cleveland said while presenting the materials she had organized from the meeting.
“Let me have a look. I will draw over the magical imagery; this is a neatly organized mind map that categorizes many classifications clearly.”
I scanned through these proposals, many of which hoped to incite war at the level of families, then provoke intervention from the academy to escalate the war.
These methods seem familiar to me.
After all, aside from the Extraordinary Academy, this core realm is maintained by a society of ordinary people.
Those things that I have not paid attention to, such as minerals, rare metals, and even food… are critically important to ordinary people!
Once food is locked down, it can indeed spark chaos easily.
This world does not have national regulation; rather, it is each family leading the lifelines of these ordinary people.
All the outrageous maneuvers of families ultimately fall on ordinary households to bear.
In the territory of the Dayrock Academy, I also saw many shocking insights in the materials summarized by Cleveland.
In the territory of the Dayrock Elf Academy, due to geographic issues and food shortages, this small-scale extraordinary academy’s existence, along with people willing to enroll, is solely because the academy provides food.
Yes, merely due to providing food, children from ordinary families are thrown into the academy.
Food is completely not an issue for academies that hold extraordinary powers, especially for extraordinary academies of the elf lineage; even Dayrock Elves can master some of the most basic affinity magic.
Rice and wheat and other crops are not extraordinary plants or extraordinary species; magical ripening has almost no effect, as food’s purpose is merely to fill the stomach.
Based on the varying living standards of people around the world, the plots to incite ordinary people to rebel have even gained recognition from quite a few.
After all, during the player invasion of the Main World, it also caused disturbances in many regions.
This also reflects that the “peaceful” society of the Main World essentially cannot withstand any turmoil; things that players were able to achieve back then, students could also achieve now.
But ultimately, the existence of the extraordinary in the Main World still sees ordinary people as less than human.
“What does Sister Xiao Han think of these proposals?” Cleveland asked softly as she noticed I frowned while reading.
“I think… the proposals are excellent. I am also from the perspective of ordinary people; I didn’t expect that ordinary people in other Earths are living such days—not releasing in silence leads to destruction in silence.” I sighed and said, “So, what do you specifically plan to do?”
“The specific situation is still under discussion; after all, circumstances vary from place to place, but essentially, we need to send students to inspire action.”
“Only to inspire action?”
“At this stage, we can only reach this level; if the effects are ideal, we will naturally intensify our efforts,” Cleveland explained.
“Just inspiring action is insufficient; they also lack strength and… anger! Strength is their courage to resist, and anger is their motivation to resist; otherwise, they will merely be a mob in the end.”
“This point we have certainly discussed, but we cannot provide them with extraordinary strength; even the most basic firearms are difficult to supply, and logistics is even harder,” Cleveland said, her tone somewhat hesitant. “Moreover, the main issue is that not many families are willing to spend a large sum of money on these nearly unrewarded investments for no reason.”
“Are they really that short-sighted?”
“It’s that the benefits cannot be guaranteed; families will not show leniency in the face of interests,” Cleveland added.
“That makes sense… Could the power network extending from the Wanlian Main Network Tree planted in the Dayrock Domain assist them?”
“This… seems plausible.” After pondering, Cleveland began, “Those small extraordinary academies have not blocked the spread of the power network in the new boundaries; given how sensitive the Dayrock Domain is, they also did not have the chance to do so.”
“Then, how to operate this will be up to you; I’m just making a suggestion.”
