Super Gene Hunting Ground

The people of the City of Hope were initially taken aback by Yang Xiao’s words, then erupted in enthusiastic applause, shouting loudly:

"Good!"

"We should indeed punish those bad people from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, they’ve cost us so much over the years."

"Hooray for Lord Yang!"

"Long live Lord Yang!"

...

The crowd’s cheers were earth-shattering.

Yang Xiao waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

The crowd immediately fell silent, as quiet as a lark.

Yang Xiao rose into the air, about five meters off the ground, and stood in mid-air, speaking loudly:

"Brothers and sisters, fellow compatriots, today our City of Hope survives and we have defeated the Alliance Army of the Eight-clawed Lady and others, thanks to the efforts of all of us.

Here, as the City Lord, I, Yang Xiao, want to thank everyone,

I announce that all those who died in today’s battle, their families will receive a consolation fund of one thousand crystal disks, and their entire families will henceforth be exempt from city protection fees,

For families with children, the City of Hope will take care of them until they turn 18!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with emotion, with some people moved to tears.

On the Central Continent, it is rare for a City Lord to cherish the lives of ordinary citizens and respect them as Yang Xiao does.

Yang Xiao continued:

"From today onwards, the management fees for all city inhabitants are waived for three years. After three years, fees will be collected at a discounted rate, aiming only to cover the basic operational costs of the city. We will collect as little as possible."

"Yay!"

"Long live Lord Yang!"

The crowd cheered loudly, as many knelt around the square, followed by men, women, old, and young all kneeling, bowing with excitement to Yang Xiao.

"Thank you, Lord Yang!"

"Lord Yang is a good person!"

"Long live Lord Yang!"

...

The news quickly spread throughout the city, with women, children, and elderly all cheering enthusiastically.

Suonan, Elder Ma, and the two Deputy City Lords, along with the about six thousand captured guards, were dumbfoundedly watching Yang Xiao and the citizens of the City of Hope.

The shock in the hearts of Suonan, Elder Ma, and the others was extraordinary. Yang Xiao’s continuous people-friendly policies had completely won over the hearts of these citizens, no wonder the citizens and guards fought so desperately just now.

It could be said they fought for themselves rather than for Yang Xiao.

The six thousand captured guards were inwardly filled with envy and jealousy.

Damn it, why didn’t we encounter such a good City Lord?

Yang Xiao waved to everyone, and they quieted down once more.

Yang Xiao turned to the captured guards and said:

"Brothers from Shuize City, Firebird City, and Cold Wind Valley, we have met each other through fighting, from today on, these three cities will belong to me, Yang Xiao; do you wish to follow me?"

The guards were just now enviously eyeing the citizens of the City of Hope, but upon hearing Yang Xiao’s words, they immediately replied in unison:

"We do!"

"Lord Yang, we are willing to follow you."

"Good!"

Yang Xiao nodded, he didn’t even bother to look at Suonan and the two Deputy City Lords, as the current situation was completely under his control.

"I announce that from today, Cold Wind Valley, Shuize City, and Firebird City belong to me. I will first waive the protection fee for all city citizens for three months, and after three months, I’ll introduce a new system. I, Yang Xiao, promise to ensure that all of you and your families and kin will live and work in peace and happiness!"

Among the seven thousand captured guards, only over a thousand were from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, most came from the three cities.

Upon hearing this, they were very happy and bowed to Yang Xiao together:

"Thank you, Lord Yang!"

"We are willing to follow Lord Yang to the death."

Suonan and the two Deputy City Lords sighed inwardly at this scene, knowing these people would no longer follow them.

Yang Xiao continued saying:

"I am aware that your daily necessities in these three cities are mostly bought from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, which has long monopolized the supply of goods with its organizational advantage, pricing them at more than ten times the outside cost,

Starting today, I encourage you to form your own trade caravans to purchase goods outside, and all shops and vendors involved in commerce are exempt from transaction taxes,

Do you know, the current price of daily necessities in the City of Hope is about half of what it used to be, just by this, you can save a lot of money and improve your families’ lives."

"Lord Yang, really?"

Someone asked excitedly.

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

"You can visit the market in the City of Hope and see the current prices for yourselves, how could I deceive you?"

"Lord Yang, if I leave the guard team to form a goods transportation team, would you agree?"

"Agree, why wouldn’t I? If you can transport goods here at a favorable price, it’s a great service for all the citizens, just as important as guarding the city,

Of course, from the Central Continent to other cities, the journey is long and the demon beasts are numerous; all risks are your own."

Among the crowd, some captured guards were already beginning to discuss forming trade caravans.

Watching this situation, Elder Ma felt a bitter taste in his heart.

Yang Xiao continued:

"I once told the citizens of the City of Hope that our city will grow to house five million people in the future; our city is still expanding,

In the future, if you wish to immigrate to the City of Hope, you are welcome, and if you want to stay in your original city, that’s fine too,

I will establish three Primary Level Genetic Evolution Schools in Shuize City, Firebird City, and Cold Wind Valley, allowing your children to receive genetic evolution training from a young age,

When they are older, they can come to the Genetic Training Academy in the City of Hope for higher-level training,

And of course, all students will be trained for free!"

Hearing this, the captured guards from the three cities cheered loudly.

Someone knelt down.

"Thank you, Lord Yang!"

"Thank you, Lord Yang!"

In the end, all the captured guards knelt down.

Yang Xiao realized that whether on Earth, the Purple Origin Star, or the Witch Star, Dwarf Star, all parents valued their children’s education equally.

Children are the hope and future of a family, a nation, a country, and a planet.

Any policies that focus on children ultimately gain the support of the people.

Yang Xiao could not immediately move everyone to the City of Hope; the best way to control citizens of other cities is to have their children come to the City of Hope to study and train.

These children are akin to hostages.

In the future, when they grow up and work in the City of Hope, even if their parents remain in other cities temporarily, they will certainly support Yang Xiao’s rule.
