In the distant Holy City......

An impromptu meeting is underway.

Ma Dong, who was promoted to the position of the chief financial officer of the Holy City as the chairman of the Star Stone Company, many adults of the Senate Council, and the leaders of the major family forces in the Holy City gathered together.

The atmosphere in the conference room at this time seemed to be a little tense and quite tense.

The finances of the Holy City have been very tight recently, and the taxes on the Star Alliance's side have reached the limit that the Earth civilization can bear, and the previous two years were still able to cope with the long accumulation, but this year, it ......

"It's only been three years since he joined the Star Alliance, and the finances of the Holy City have already reached the point where they can't make ends meet!" Patriarch Karen stared at Ma Dong, as a member of the Senate, one of the most powerful Holy Mentors in the Holy City, and the patriarch of one of the oldest families in the Holy City, Hebwei Cullen has always been the leader of this kind of meeting occasion, and at this time, he was in full swing: "Joining the Star Alliance has not brought us a leap forward, but because of the heavy taxes that have scarred us, is this the result that everyone wants?"

"I would suggest that we cut all the options that can be used for our own Star Alliance benefits, including the annual immigration application and citizenship rationing, etc., which is quite a burden for us!

"This time, I seconded Karen, most of the lower civilizations need a long buffer period to join the Star Alliance. "The one who spoke was another elder of high moral character, who was usually known for his impartiality in the Holy City, and even he seconded it, which almost represented the opinion of the vast majority of people:" The heritage of the earth's civilization is still too little, if you want to develop in the Star Alliance, you can't become a fat man in this bite, you can try any way you want, and in the end you will only be dragged down by multiple lines, we should still concentrate on the local development of the Holy City and the earth, use resources in this area, join the Star Alliance, more benefits for us, for the time being, it can only be some information and knowledge exchanges, make good use of this, I think it is enough for the current earth. ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

There was a chorus of seconding the discussion all around, and Aunt Xue and Wang Zhanfeng's brows furrowed slightly.

Only part of the Star Alliance's taxes are mandatory, but there are still a considerable part of them that can be chosen by the major civilizations, such as maintaining the annual immigration quota to the Earth Realm, such as maintaining the annual citizenship application, etc., the price of these is quite high, after all, the Earth Boundary is such a big place, and the entire Fifth Dimension and tens of thousands of civilizations want to drill there, so should the Star Alliance give the Earth the 100 places every year for free? The Holy City's investment in this part is almost worth the tax of a fourth-level civilization for an entire year.

At the beginning, the patriarchs gritted their teeth and insisted on this part of the annual expenditure, because they wanted to take shortcuts, hoping that the experience of the earth could help the earth cultivate some super strong, but the effect was obviously not good, except for Wang Chong, who gave a vague information some time ago, others used to be either slaves or coolies, not to mention it, it was difficult to even survive, which was equivalent to spending a lot of money to make meaningless investments. Coupled with the increasing burden on the Holy City, reducing this part of the expenditure has long been on the agenda, and the call is high.

"I disagree. Ma Dong stood up: "If we don't enter the Divine Realm, just retaining only one Star Covenant identity, it seems that we can reduce a lot of expenses, but in fact, it will kill the chicken and take the eggs! It will only delay our plan to integrate into the Star Covenant indefinitely, and once we announce that we will give up the immigration investment now, it will be tantamount to cutting off all the previous immigrants! As earthlings, they will immediately lose their legal status in the Divine Domain, is this going to kill them?!"

"Ma Dong, pay attention to your words! Those who go to the Divine Realm are the best talents among our earthlings, and many of them are the descendants of all of you present, and absolutely no one wants them to die!" An elder scolded: "But is it because of this, that the entire civilization is dragged to be buried together? The strong man broke his wrist and made this decision, I believe that all of you present are much more uncomfortable than you, the guy who makes a rocket!"

Ma Dong's own situation is actually quite controversial, to be precise, what he did has always been the focus of controversy, and there are probably not a few people who want to kill him.

"I don't mean that, as the current head of the Holy City's finances, I just want to say that we can still hold on, at least for a few more years without a problem," Ma Dong is no longer the little fat man who used to be in Tianjing who would borrow wine to drown his sorrows, and in the face of the difficulties and anger of many Saint Master-level powerhouses, he just said calmly: "We shouldn't change the original strategic policy because of temporary difficulties, let alone cut off the path of our brothers and sisters in the Divine Domain! I am willing to donate all the property of the Cassadine family......

"Hehe, donate?" Hebwe Cullen sneered, "Your Cassadine family is very rich, but is it enough for the Covenant's taxes for one year?

"The difficulties are only temporary, and this is what our entire civilization is facing, if all of you here can contribute generously......"

"Are you being funny? For the sake of a hopeless dead end, you make everyone pay the price of all their wealth? You yourself are crazy, and you want everyone to go crazy with you!"

"Ma Dong, don't take it for granted!"

There was an uproar in the conference room, so that all the bigwigs present paid out of their own pockets, just to send the children of their own family to be enslaved and bullied in the divine domain?

"It's not a complete dead end! Have you forgotten Wang Chong? He has already established himself in Tianbao Street more than half a year ago, and we have to believe him ......."

"Ma Dong, are you joking?" Hebwei Karen's eyes flashed, not mentioning Wang Chong's fall, mentioning Wang Chong, Hebwei was simply full of anger: "What do you mean to gain a foothold in Tianbao Street? At the beginning, we almost believed it when he came to the mouth, but what turned out to be? It's just that he is lucky to be attached to the command of a demon clan Xudan, and it is not the life of being enslaved, you really think it is his ability?"

The Holy City's control over the intelligence of the Star Alliance is very weak, except for the occasional information through the Star Airlines Company, it is difficult to contact it almost once a year and a half, and there is no way to do it, after all, the earth is not qualified to establish a formal communication channel, and there is no teleportation field dedicated to the earth.

The understanding of Wang Chong, everyone is only limited to the time when Wang Chong has just gained a foothold in Tianbao Street, at that time Wang Chong has delivered a message to the Senate, and because Lao Wang does not want the earthlings to feel that they can do whatever they want on Tianbao Street, so the information is also very vague, and some human beings always have the habit of self-speculation.

"I'll tell you what happened to Wang Chong!" he said coldly: "The genius of my Karen family, Wells Karen, went to Tianbao Street to join him because he listened to the rumors that Wang Chong boasted about, and guess what? Just because of a little thing, he was handed over to the mechanical clan and sent to the Tianhe battlefield to do labor!"

There was an uproar all around.

"I don't believe it. Wang Zhanfeng finally spoke, his voice was extremely cold, and Ma Dong could only argue on the basis of reason, a powerful aura of the Holy Mentor was permeated, Heberway wanted to guide the Senate to change, he had no objection, the current financial problem is indeed a hurdle that the Holy City is difficult to overcome, but in this way, Wang Chong, Wang Zhanfeng knows himself quite well as his adopted son, sacrificing his clansmen to please others?

"Yes, Hebwe, you can't talk nonsense, can you contact Tempo Street? where did you get the news, and why didn't you say it before?"

"Don't doubt it, that's what I heard from the Boers when I traded with them not long ago, and I can provide you with a recording of that time if you need it. Hebwe Karen said coldly: "At that time, it was just for the sake of the overall situation, I didn't say anything about it, the children of my Karen family are not unwilling to make sacrifices for the clan, but since I have talked about this today, since it involves the future decision of the clan, I have to mention it!"

"This Wang Chong, I think his original message was completely fabricated, what can he do in Tianbao Street? It's just to deceive many people to go and use them! Hehe, instead of defending his own people, he uses his own people to fulfill his own reputation and the life and death future of his own people to curry favor with other civilizations, as a step for him to climb, such a person, how dare you dare to shout that we believe him? What do you believe in him? Today he dares to sacrifice one of his own clansmen in order to please other clansmen, and in the future, he will dare to pit the entire clan for his own sake!"

"Is that really the case?"

"Hebwei is not a man of his own words. ”

"How dare this Wang Zhong be like this?!"

"If that's the case, then I suggest that you immediately stop all help to the immigrants in the Divine Domain, and immediately stop all the efforts for the immigrants!"

There was a sudden uproar in the conference room, Wang Zhanfeng and Xue Li's faces were ugly, they didn't believe that Wang Zhong would do such a thing, but Heberwei's words were conclusive, I was afraid that it was true, maybe there were some hidden secrets, but at least the surface truth was that they had no way to run. Recently, the opposition to the cessation of the immigration plan has been very high, only the two of them and Ma Dong have been insisting, and there are still a considerable number of people in the Senate who remain neutral about it, but now, looking at the angry crowd in the conference room, no matter how much the three of them obstruct it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the overall situation.

In the midst of the excitement of the crowd, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the conference room.

The bigwigs who are making their own big remarks are all frowning, who dares to knock on the door of the conference room at this time?

Everyone was quiet for a moment, only to see the door opened, and an ordinary senator ran in, with an incredible surprise on his face, completely forgetting that the meeting of many bigwigs present was not at all qualified for him to dare to interrupt.

Heberway was about to scold, but he heard the messenger hurriedly say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Star Covenant has a new appointment! My earth civilization has been promoted by half a level, and I enjoy the treatment of a quasi-fifth-level civilization! The tax has been lowered by ten percentage points every year, the information authority has been raised to the quasi-fifth level, the trading authority has been raised to the quasi-fifth level, and all the expenses of one hundred immigrants have been reduced!"

The originally noisy conference hall suddenly fell silent.

Civilization is upgraded, taxes are lowered, information and trading authority is increased, and immigration expenses are all reduced.

What's going on?

Everyone is dumbfounded, everyone is arguing here about immigration expenses, but now it is directly reduced and reduced, and what a fart?

Level 4 civilizations have to pay a high fee if they want to have the authority to immigrate 100 people per year, while level 5 civilizations can enjoy this benefit for free, of course, if you want to send 2300 per year, then the excess part will still have to pay extra.

As for the enhancement of information trading authority, this is what the earth's civilization urgently needs at present! What is it to join the Star Alliance? Isn't it just to enjoy the public information rights of those fourth-level civilizations and the right to trade fairly with other civilizations? Most of the fourth-level civilization's technology and some open simple cultivation secrets can be directly learned by earthlings, which has made earthlings improve rapidly in science and technology and cultivation in just three years, and now they are directly opening up fifth-level permissions, more high-tech, The more cultivation methods, that is simply the immediate leap of the entire civilization!

Moreover, the reduction of taxes, especially the increase in trading authority, will give the earth more initiative and voice in trading with other civilizations, and the speed of earning resources will be 100 times and 1,000 times faster than it is now! The current financial problem will be solved almost instantaneously!

It's just that the Star Covenant is suddenly having a convulsion? Raising the level of the Earth's civilization for no reason? The Senate didn't even apply for it! And why? Just by virtue of the current position of the Earth civilization at the bottom of the Star Alliance, raising the level of civilization is something that even I dare not dream of!

If it weren't for the fact that the messenger would not dare to lie, it would be impossible for anyone to believe such a ridiculous statement.

Everyone looked at the messenger speechless, only to hear him continue: "The appointment was issued directly from the Heavenly Gate! It is Wang Chong, Lord Domigul of Misobudabi said that it is Wang Chong, our human race has produced a genius, and has been recognized by the Governor of the Tianbei Clan, we have hope!"

Wang Chong, Tianmen, Overseer?!

No matter how closed the news of the earth's civilization is, everyone at least knows the sensitive words of Tianmen, Tianbei Clan, and Overseer.

After only a few seconds of silence in the conference room, the sound of gasping for air appeared quite out of shape on the faces of these usually unfazed bigwigs.

Ma Dong clenched his fists fiercely, but there was a cold smile on his face, "There is no turning back for mankind, everyone here knows that there is only one choice in front of us, either succeed or perish, at this time, there is still a delay, Lord Hebwe, let's go back to the question just now, how did that waste of your family almost destroy Wang Chong and others that were built up with great difficulty, and the credibility of our earthlings ......"

Does it really matter?

In fact, there are no fools present, it's just a different position, to this day, Ma Dong knows the importance of unity, but a black sheep like Heberway must not stay, life has taught him, when it is decided, it is decided.
