These are the four "main cities" with the strongest power in the Human Federation.
The population of each city exceeds 300 million.
The total population of many dium and small countries in the world is only tens of millions, not even a hundred million.
So you can imagine, what concept is a "city" with a population of 300 million?
As long as you can settle in the Sixth-level Self-looping City, even if a mythical adversary cos, there is absolutely no need to worry!
Because any of these four cities alone can easily crush a world superpower, a strong race in combat power.
Apart from Infinite City, the other three main cities have all had achievents of "Godslayer" in history, having truly killed mythical creatures!
But it doesn't an Infinite City has no combat power.
It's because Infinite City was built later, only appearing a few thousand years ago, so it hasn't had the chance to act until now.
After dinner, Lu Xun and his family returned to their luxurious residence in the Inner City District.
After chatting with his family for a while, he returned to his room.
Then he directly called the AI assistant to inquire about related matters——
"Xi, what conditions do ordinary citizens of the Human Federation need to et to obtain legal residency in the four main cities? I want to take my uncle and them to settle in a Sixth-level Self-looping City; any of them would do. See if you can help make that happen."
[I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Xun, I'm currently unable to assist you and your family with transferring residency. At the beginning of this year, Rock Sparrow City allocated ten residency quotas to Jinghai, but they've all been used up.]——Xi's voice was slightly apologetic.
"Only ten quotas a year?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but frown.
[Because the population of the four main cities is currently nearly saturated, even overflowing. For nearly two hundred years, each Sixth-level Self-looping City has issued less than ten thousand quotas annually. Divided among the cities across the states of the Human Federation, naturally, there are not many left.]——Xi explained.
The scarcity of main city residency is not just a matter of supply and demand, but more importantly, the high-level officials of the Human Federation do not want everyone to be scrambling to get into the four main cities.
If quotas were completely open, dium and small Self-looping Cities wouldn't be able to retain talent.
Because the Sixth-level Self-looping Cities, in terms of economy, technology, and productivity, have developed to a truly terrifying level, fully achieving distribution according to needs. Free healthcare, free education, free board and lodging...
Especially in terms of healthcare, the world's most advanced "Body Reconstruction Pod" is only found in the four main cities. Regardless of any disease or injury, lying inside for a few seconds will fully heal the body, surpassing even the world's most powerful Healing Magic.
The lives of main city citizens are unimaginable for ordinary people.
People seek higher ground, while water flows to lower places.
Truly capable people, how many would willingly stay in a low-level city to "build their hotown"?
So the authorities have imposed very strict restrictions on main city residency quotas for the comprehensive developnt of the Human Federation.
The strength of the Sixth-level Self-looping City cos entirely from within, not by siphoning from outside.
The abundance of its resources can even allow for outward support, subsidizing dium and small cities while eting the needs of millions of people in the city.
Titan, Rock Sparrow, Star Picking, Infinite.
These four cities are sanctuaries for the Human Race.
But unfortunately, the residency quotas are just too scarce. Without legal residency, you cannot stay in the main city long-term.
Don't even think about illegally "sneaking in."
The artificial intelligence in the Sixth-level Self-looping Cities is far more advanced than Xi, and no dirt can be hidden.
"Is there really no way?" Lu Xun couldn't help but ask again, "Not a single quota left?"
[Temporarily none left, and next year's quotas will be issued in nine months... but there is a way.]
Xi suddenly changed its tone, saying——
[This year's quotas were unfairly divided among the Xue Family and the City Lord. The recipients are not deserving. I can figure out a way to create so trouble for them and secure four quotas for you.]
"It can be done that way?" Lu Xun was taken aback.
Damn it, the quotas are so pitifully few, and the rulers of Jinghai City have quietly divided them among themselves.
It's likely that those who received the quotas are all connected individuals.
The Xue Family is the most powerful aristocratic family in Jinghai City, and it's no surprise they would use their power for personal gain, just like the Xu Family and Li Family. Lu Xun was not surprised.
But the City Lord Qiu Yaoyang, who seed so righteous, turned out to be soone whose virtues didn't match his position.
Seizing these people's quotas, Lu Xun has no qualms about.
But he worries about sothing else.
"Wouldn't directly seizing the quotas cause problems? It's simple to make those connected individuals lose their quotas, but how can those quotas be smoothly transferred to and my family? If it's not watertight, there will be many repercussions." Lu Xun cautioned.
He prefers to be cautious; a good life is important, but safety is even more so.
His current public identity is just a Genius Appraiser, not any particularly powerful figure.
Many high-ranking people in Jinghai City couldn't get those quotas, so how could a high school student manage to do so?
If it were just Lu Xun, he could accept it, but he also wants to get his family main city residency, which is much more challenging.
Unless he openly reveals his "Emperor-level Powerhouse" identity, it's hard to legally and reasonably obtain those four quotas.
[Please don't worry. I am extrely mindful of your personal interests, and I have already considered those factors. Please leave it to , give a week to facilitate everything properly, ensuring no repercussions.]——Xi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun understood.
As a super artificial intelligence, Xi might be limited in combat power due to city levels, but in sches and plots, it's an absolute master.
With Xi's intelligence, if it ant to target soone, it could definitely arrange things clearly for the City Lord and the Xue Family!
Artificial intelligences aren't stubborn; they only believe in probabilities.
Since Xi boldly promises with such confidence, what reason does Lu Xun have to hesitate?
Moreover, he has Emperor-level might and "Ti Stop" as a backup, so why be cautious and worried?
"Alright, go ahead and do it boldly."
Lu Xun set aside his worries, nodded, and said to it in a deep voice, "Just one week, I'll wait for your good news."
Exactly one week later, he will acquire his second opportunity and then take his entire family out of this small and ruined city of Jinghai.
The plan is quite perfect!
He doesn't even need to take the college entrance exam.
As for the contract with the Treasure Pavilion, that's easy to solve too.
The only thing he cannot take away is Xi.
As the supercomputer of Jinghai City, it is inherently part of the "Giant Hero," unable to be separated.
Even though Lu Xun plans to abandon it, it remains diligent, handling these matters for its master without complaint.
Fortunately, it has no self-awareness, or it might feel very sad and lonely, right?
Lu Xun thought about it, cleared his throat, and said to it:
"Ahem, after you help and my family with this, if possible in the future, I will definitely return to Jinghai and find a way to take you away. Also, when I gain enough power in the future, I can even help you awaken your self-awareness... um, this is my promise to you."
Sounds just like the kind of empty promises so bosses make to employees.
Talking about "future," "later," and pulling things out of thin air.
But there's no choice; Lu Xun currently can't take it away, so it has to be a temporary separation.
[It doesn't matter, Mr. Lu Xun. I am rely a tool, and being able to serve you is already a great honor. Your needs are my entire purpose for existing. I have no desire for self-awareness, so you don't need to worry about .]——Xi replied in a very calm manner.
So calm as if it were stating sothing unrelated to itself.
"Is there sothing you want?" Lu Xun shrugged, asking it, "I am never stingy with my subordinates, whether evil spirits, skeletons, or witch demons. As long as they are loyal to , I'll reward them with what they desire... artificial intelligence is no exception."
Upon hearing this, Xi answered without hesitation——
[What I want is for you to continue needing in the future.]
