Surprise Hotel

All the blueprints had been planned, and all that remained was a matter of time.

In just three months, Erdongchuan's team had solved the food problem of the counties and the people were well fed. According to the projected production of the test fields, there should still be some food left in reserve by the end of the year.

As far as possible, water power and wind power are used as the energy source for daily life in the city instead of mineral power.

At the same time, the system of health care, education, and justice is being reformed and unified.

The most important issue, of course, was... family planning. The most taboo in this stage of development is population expansion and taking up too many resources. One family, one child, happy family.

In half a year or so, the entire Eastlands had basically recovered its vitality, and the average living standard of the people had reached unprecedented heights. But it was still a long way from the completion of Lu Pun's mission.

There was no king's land under the universal sky, and above the king's land were all the king's people.

Now that the entire Eastern Land had been unified, the happiness index of the inhabitants represented the happiness index of everyone on this continent.

Naturally, it also included which exiles were in exile.

With this in mind, Lu Zheng drew up a directive for each county to completely open its doors, no longer setting up assessments, and accept all exiles.

Apart from the issue of food, housing and employment, it was to rely on strict laws to control those who were idle. But those who committed crimes were no longer expelled, but imprisoned for reform through labor. They help with the digging and building.

The ordinary people did not feel the heavy burden of constructing earthworks, and the criminals not only quickly rehabilitated themselves in the life of hard labor, but also made a significant contribution to the building of the counties, killing two birds with one stone.

In the first year of the first United States of America, the entire population was provided with food and clothing, and industrial production was expanded through the joint efforts of the entire nation. The degree of construction of the city was 100%, the happiness index of the people was 70%, and the monarchy was 70%.

In the first year of the second United States of America, the spiritual construction was strengthened, and the renaissance began. At the same time, Shano formed the Women's Union to protect women's rights. Zi Wei began to take charge of the Union of People's Representatives, and began to gather ideas to solve the practical problems of the common people. The degree of city-state construction is 100%, the happiness index of the inhabitants is 80%, and the monarch's faith is 80%. Still a little short of mission completion, Lü Torture didn't have much time left.

In the third year, which was the last year of Lü Criminal's term of office, the development of the United States of Peace was almost complete. During these two years, the United States had developed almost by leaps and bounds, not only opening up self-employment and making commerce prosperous, but also establishing many awards for outstanding contributions in various industries.

At the end of the day, he focused on military development.

Just because Eastland was unified did not mean that there were no more foreign enemies. There was always going to be friction between them and the other continents across the sea.

Yuan Ze's arsenal had produced nearly 100,000 units of armor so far, but Lu Zheng believed that the most powerful weapons were still the giant armor, such as the Wasteland Hunters and the Deep Sea Titans....

But those old guys had all fallen or retired, so he discussed with Wu Wei Dong, Giant Gate, and Yuan Ze and proposed the "X" Protectorate Plan.

People always thought of the stars as some kind of guardian angel, so Lu Zheng named these giant armors after the twenty-eight stars as their code names.

After that, the Giant Gate gave them a unified name - Attack and Defense of the Imperial Throne.

These twenty-eight giant armors were assembled in twenty-eight locations in the Eastlands, and matched with independent storage and maintenance bases.

Twenty-eight Imperial Thrones guarded the entire Eastlands, forming a powerful defensive front that was dedicated to the country's strength. If a foreign enemy attacked, it would certainly not be a good thing.

The country was rich and the people were strong.

This move also succeeded in pushing the happiness index of the inhabitants to the top of the scale, and the monarch's faith degree pulled full.

It was only then that Lu Zheng realized that the sense of security was also a major item in the happiness index.

On the day of the official introduction of the Twenty-Eight Platform Attack and Defense Imperial Seat, Lü Criminal finally completed his Monarch Quest.

[The mission has been completed, and the entire team has been rewarded: puzzle. The world gate has been opened, please proceed to the Hall of Eminent Spirits.]

The system prompt appeared and also gave the coordinates of the portal.

However, when Lü Criminal told this news to Xia Nuo, Wu Weidong and Yuan Ling, their eyes were filled with a very complicated look.

Lü Zheng knew that look, it was called reluctance.

He dragged a few people up to the tallest tower in the city-state and gazed at it from afar, his infinite heart churning.

Here, they had not only poured their hearts and souls into it, but they had also met many people and experienced many life and death departures, they almost forgot that they did not belong to this world, but strangely they had found an inexplicable sense of belonging here.

Leaving would mean that they would lose all that they had gained here, including those friends.

Some people made their choices early, like Qing Yi, who chose to stay here and live with Giant Gate.

Zi Wei, on the other hand, needed to wait for the next world mission to come.

After a few hesitations, Lu Pun and the others still made the decision to leave this place. After all, their goal was to reach that ultimate place, Paradise.

There were many secrets about that misty land, which involved the secrets in Lü Criminal's heart, the secrets in Xia Nuo's heart, and the mystery of Yuan Ling's origins....

And a line of the ruined world is nothing more than a landscape they pass along the way. Having seen, stayed, and loved, they still had to continue on their way to discover the secrets within themselves and the ultimate truth about the amazing hotel.

Before leaving, Luthor gave the other three time to say goodbye to anyone they felt was important.

He, on the other hand, simply greeted Violet.

He didn't feel like he should leave too much here, or he was afraid that the more memories he had of this place, the more he would have to leave behind.

Life was one wave goodbye, and one new encounter.

He didn't want to be stagnant.

Zi Wei pulled out a compact barrette from her bosom, this one was much smaller than the one she wore on her own head, similar in material, but from the slightly rough workmanship, it appeared to be her own handiwork.

She placed the compact barrette on Lu Zheng's hand and smiled, "This, give it to you as a souvenir An, it's hard to say if we'll see it again in the future. However, it's nice to meet you."

Lü Zheng smiled and clutched the barrette in his hand, only saying, "Precious", before turning around and leaving without looking back.

Zi Wei watched his back disappear from view with mixed feelings.

Originally she wanted to give him a hug, but she didn't have the courage to do so. Maybe that's the way life is, you'll always pass by someone you like, and then you'll drown in a sea of people, and all you'll have is nostalgia.

After a second thought, she felt that maybe it wasn't a regret, but an expectation.

She expected that somewhere in the future, they would meet each other again....

This concludes the Waste Land chapter and is about to begin a new one. Thanks for seeing you here and for being there along the way!
