“What does Tianhai City want to do with the points?”

“Exchange them for materials, attract civilian powerhouses, and request military support… Although the country will lead the attack and mobilize troops to protect China, this is a huge crisis. Even if China can save everyone, they will still prioritize which areas to attack first. No one wants to die or be sacrificed, so they need to save themselves.

?

“The local government of Tianhai City can assign tasks. If they have enough points, they can allow idle civilian powerhouses to gather in Tianhai City, and they can request for the state to allocate a large amount of resources to support them. As for the military, this is too demanding for them. It is almost impossible to change the national strategy with the efforts of Tianhai City alone.”

After listening to Qin Ya’s explanation, Lin Yao understood that the points were almost omnipotent in dangerous times, and there were too many things that could be achieved with points. Other than big cities like Shanghai, Shangjing, and Chengdu, almost all other cities needed points.

Lin Yao nodded and pondered this briefly before he asked quietly through sound transmission, “How many points are needed for a place in Tianhai City’s safety zone? How about a place in Ninghai City? How many points are needed for a place in the safety zone?”

There was nothing unusual. While Qin Ya and Qin Xue were talking to each other, a voice spoke in Lin Yao’s ears.

“The demand for places in the safety zone varies depending on the situation. Normally, one can stay in the safety zone for only a little money. When there is chaos but the city is not at risk of being destroyed, the price is about 1,000 points. This is the case for Ninghai City. The situation in Tianhai City is special. They are already at war, and their points have been expanded five times, which is 5,000 points. Of course, if they have special talents worthy of the country’s attention or have made contributions to the country, the points can be deducted or even be free. The value of points is equivalent to meritorious service.”

“5,000 points for meritorious service? That is very cheap!”

“Cheap?”

Lin Yao was surprised, and Qin Ya was even more surprised. She could no longer maintain her usual indifferent expression. After a while, a voice rang out in Lin Yao’s ears.

“Mr. Lin Yao, 5,000 points of meritorious service is not cheap at all. This can be exchanged for a gold resource in the military. Do you still think it is cheap?”

“A gold resource? It is not that expensive either.”

“Then what if a warlord must go through many life-and-death struggles before he can exchange points for one place?”

This remark silenced Lin Yao. Only then did he realize that not everyone was like him.

Even Lin Yao had to put in hard work. He patrolled Ninghai City for a night with the help of his ability to distinguish between good and evil and he also had the privilege of being young and thus earning high merits. However, in the end, he only earned about 5,000 points in one night.

He had gained many points when dealing with the mirror space, but he had encountered it by accident.

“It might be expensive to accumulate 5,000 points of meritorious service, but this is still within my limits. It is cheaper for Ninghai City, which only requires 1,000 points.”

Now that he was reminded of Ninghai City, Lin Yao hurriedly asked Qin Ya about the situation there.

“How is the situation in Ninghai City?”

When she was asked about this, Qin Ya looked sullen.

“I have asked people to inquire about their situation. Ninghai City is not under the jurisdiction of Shanghai. Therefore, there is no plan to open up the roads to Ninghai City. The Xinghai Prefecture is the one obliged to help Ninghai City. However, these days, Xinghai City has been mainly concerned about connecting and maintaining the roads toward major prefectures and protecting important property assets. It is difficult to take care of all ordinary cities within the territory.”

Lin Yao frowned upon hearing her words, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that even if he was among the senior officials in the Xinghai Prefecture, he would not focus his energy on Ninghai City, which lacked any special characteristics, especially while the country was in chaos.

Yan Yu’er noticed Lin Yao’s upset expression and hurried to share the news she had heard.

“Ah Yao, the situation is not that bad. Although the roads cannot be connected and the army cannot launch a large-scale attack right away, special warfare teams composed mainly of titled warlords and supplemented by gold warlords render help throughout the country. Those with spatial abilities can send quick support if they have the coordinates.”

“Special warfare teams? People with spatial abilities?”

At this point, Lin Yao could not help but sigh. This was why once people with spatial abilities were discovered, they would receive targeted training and grooming.

‘They have strategic value to the country. They could render help to various places quickly, regardless of the obstacles in the terrain.

‘What should I plant as my next sacred tree? Should it be the Ancient Tree of Life or the Spatial Tree? Although the Ancient Tree of Life grows up and gains the ability to stabilize space, and I can also gain spatial talent as a result, this talent is mainly related to stabilizing space. I have to learn by myself if I want to travel through space. It takes up too much time.’

While thinking about it, Lin Yao heard Qin Ya’s retort to Yan Yu’er.

“The situation is not as good as you think. There are people with spatial talents, and there are indeed special warfare teams, but there are too few people with spatial talents. Xinghai Prefecture is not that strong. The special warfare teams mainly defend important resource cities. They will render help to ordinary cities, but it will inevitably take a longer time. That’s why Tianhai City…”

Qin Ya did not finish her sentence, but everyone present turned gloomy.

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Lin Yao put aside his worries for now and clapped his hands. “Well, ladies, the situation is not the worst. There are people with spatial abilities, and we have special warfare teams as well. As long as we are not particularly unlucky, our city will not be destroyed. As long as it is not destroyed, the safety zone will be the safest fortress, and it is even safer than where we are now.”

While speaking of this, Lin Yao looked very confident and proud. “As for me, although I can’t save the city from what is going to happen in the future, I can still kill freaks so that our loved ones can enter the safety zone.”

He sounded arrogant, but before they had time to feel disgusted, a loud roar echoed in the surroundings.

Roar!

It was a majestic roar that set off a strong gust of wind, causing the women to cover their eyes and press down their skirts. When everything calmed down, the girls saw a majestic warlion that was one to two stories high appear under Lin Yao. Lin Yao was propped on its head, looking very magnificent.

The girls looked up at the handsome figure standing high in the sky, and their hearts trembled slightly.

That was the person they depended on in this life, and he was the one that they would take care of for the rest of their lives and who would also take care of them in this lifetime.

The girls stared at the figure, and the confident remarks that he had made just now echoed in their ears. Moments ago, they had been fearful due to the chaotic changes in the world, but they had incredibly calmed down. Yan Yu’er and Qin Xue even smiled again.

“The world is indeed dangerous, but I still have Ah Yao. I am already in a much better situation than others.”

“Ah Yao will definitely save my parents.”

“It was great to meet Ah Yao.”

Lin Yao was the leader, so when he looked confident and assured, those who followed him would naturally not panic.

Right now, Lin Yao’s confidence rubbed off on the girls, and they no longer felt helpless. They believed that if they were with Lin Yao, they could clear away all the obstacles in front of them.

The girls looked at Lin Yao in admiration, and Qin Ya was the only one who maintained her usual expression.

However, her fists were clenched tightly.

While looking at Lin Yao, who was propped up by the Golden Warlion, Qin Ya sensed a change in him.

It was not a change for better or worse, but a change in his intrinsic nature.

In the past, although Lin Yao had pulled off many brilliant achievements, he used to only be a genius in Qin Ya’s eyes, as well as someone who would be powerful in the future.

The latter was someone people would follow and invest in. However, as a strong, career-minded woman, Qin Ya was prideful and believed she could succeed without relying on others.

She believed so and had been doing so. Even now, she had not changed her mind.

However, her thoughts might not have changed, but her opinion of Lin Yao had changed.

‘Compared to the person who chased after power and wealth in the past, right now, Lin Yao is no longer someone who chases after power. He’s more like a hero who takes people to the light when danger strikes!’
