Chapter 555: 364. Beating someone along the internet cable

Shapudian.

Eastern City, World Gate.

Yang Fan, embodying the form of Mr. Ghost, floated two meters above the ground.

Gentle flame ripples surrounded him, continuously appearing and disappearing, making him appear exceptionally mysterious and powerful.

Upon closer observation, it seemed as if a blazing sphere was suspended within the flame ripples.

This was one of the small techniques Yang Fan had learned from the Relic of the Stars.

It was also Mr. X’s typical ability—the Eye of the World.

However, Mr. X’s Eye of the World was centered around the Satellite Star Power, capable of observing every corner of the globe.

The Eye of the World he mastered was centered around the World Power, with an observation range of slightly over two hundred kilometers.

Yang Fan seemed to be observing the World Gate, but in reality, he was using a World Eye to watch the daily life of ordinary Shapudian families.

Since the establishment of Eastern City, Shapudian people from surrounding areas began to gather towards Eastern City spontaneously.

Now, the Shapudian population in Eastern City has exceeded six million.

Before the Age of Calamity, Shapudian’s total population was just over 85 million. After two years in the Age of Calamity, the population decreased to 72 million. If not for Great Xia’s influence entering Shapudian, more Shapudian people would have died.

The Shapudian people in Eastern City are equivalent to one-twelfth of the country’s total population.

This outcome was deliberately controlled by Great Xia.

Because Eastern City was designated as a special administrative region, Shapudian people without residential permits could not settle in Eastern City.

In the view of Shapudian people, Eastern City possesses an abundant supply of resources and exceptional safety, akin to a paradise.

A large number of Shapudian people cannot obtain residential permits, so they move to towns surrounding the "paradise," forming a "residential belt encircling Eastern City."

This is a typical "siphon effect" of developed areas attracting population from less developed areas.

According to rough statistics, the population in this residential belt is no less than eight million.

The gathering of population inevitably brought chaos, with frequent occurrences of various felonies.

Out of consideration for stability, Eastern City took the opportunity to include this residential belt within its management scope, soon significantly improving the area’s security.

Additionally, combined with Shapudian Capital Glory City under Great Xia’s control and surrounding regions, the Shapudian population directly managed by Great Xia has already exceeded 35 million, accounting for half of the country’s total population.

At this moment.

Through the Eye of the World, Yang Fan saw two Shapudian children sitting on an electric blanket, earnestly learning Xia Language from a video on their phone.

A voice emitted from the video: "Great Xia has a glorious civilization with a 5,000-year long history!"

The two children recited together: "Great Xia has a glorious civilization with a 5,000-year long history!"

Despite the absence of parental supervision, they studied diligently.

This is because as long as they pass the Level 4 Xia Language exam, their family can gain more quotas in Great Xia Business Communication, the most direct economic incentive.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment.

The Eye of the World flickered, and the scene before him immediately changed.

This was a house undergoing renovation.

Workers in protective suits carried equipment, spraying a layer of liquid onto the wall, which began to foam upon contact with air and formed a thick insulation layer within seconds.

The homeowner’s family watched the renovation, expressing joy: "Thank you, Great Xia!"

The wife nodded repeatedly: "With Xia People here, our lives have improved significantly."

Once the spraying was complete, just adding another layer of insulation board would conclude the simple renovation.

The house’s insulation performance will greatly improve, allowing the family to safely endure the long cold disaster without being awakened by the cold at midnight.

The renovation costs were covered by a low-interest loan applied by the homeowner from Great Xia Bank.

Great Xia not only provided funds but also offered low-cost renovations, hence the family’s gratitude.

After a few seconds.

The Eye of the Satellite trembled slightly and disintegrated.

Yang Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at a few soldiers not far away.

They were adjusting a set of high-definition video conferencing equipment.

Soon.

A major stepped forward, raised his hand in salute, and said: "Mr. Ghost, everything is ready!"

Yang Fan nodded: "Then let us begin."

The major immediately responded: "Yes!"

The 100-inch screen immediately lit up, displaying hundreds of squares.

Each square contained a silhouette.

This was the global emergency network meeting hosted by Great Xia, with each silhouette representing a country’s delegate.

Yang Fan glanced at the number in the lower right corner of the screen—359.

This number represented the countries attending the meeting.

Before the Age of Calamity, there were 398 countries on Canglan Star.

Now, 39 have vanished, nearly one-tenth.

Among them, 16 were island nations where either all citizens died or fled their homes for the mainland, putting the countries in a "dissolved" state.

Additionally, 23 countries experienced a total collapse of national order, with even leaders fleeing, leaving no effective governing body.

The voice of Great Xia’s representative, Yu Changlong, came from the television: "Everyone, we have specially invited a distinguished guest for this meeting."

Yu Changlong deliberately paused, raising his tone: "Mr. Ghost!"

As soon as the words fell.

There was noticeable commotion in the network meeting room, faces reflecting surprise.

All attendees’ focus locked onto the figure radiating flame ripples.
