Chapter 637: Yu Yuan's Bold Idea, the Latest Issue of Global News

Inside the Civilization Clock Tower.

Carmen, Alpha, and the others all turned their eyes to Yu Yuan, who sat quietly at the head of the table.

Just a moment earlier Yu Yuan had been outlining the Alliance of Nations' next plans.

Halfway through his explanation, he suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"

Then he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Everyone knew the leader was dealing with something special and needed to handle it urgently.

Among them, only Mona seemed to sense a faint trace of something related to faith, but it was extremely weak.

After a long while, Yu Yuan opened his eyes again, a faint curl appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He activated the Virtual Light Screen, glanced at the faintly glowing Tactics: Diverting Disaster Eastward, dispelled the faith aura, and sent a message to Greenfield.

Yu Yuan Shelter: The bait has been set. The Snake of Rebirth may take action soon. Be cautious.

Greenfield replied quickly.

Greenfield Cruise Ship: Don't worry, I'm ready.

Yu Yuan closed the Virtual Light Screen and refocused on the meeting.

"Where were we?"

"Leader, we were discussing placement for the female prisoners."

Carmen glanced at his Notebook and reminded him.

Yu Yuan nodded and continued:

"What are your suggestions?"

"My suggestion is to have the civilization members form families as soon as possible. That would not only stabilize internal cohesion and increase recognition, it would also address the population issue," Carmen said.

Zhou Yuan nodded silently as well.

"The Giant Tree World's breeding and planting still need a lot of hands. These jobs aren't dangerous. We can assign all the women there, and the job placements are straightforward."

"Maybe we can organize an internal meet-and-greet, where men and women interested in forming families can talk. It's best if they can form families on their own..." Others voiced their opinions too.

Soon Yu Yuan made his decision.

"Alright! The meet-and-greet and collective wedding must be grand. This is the first wedding since our civilization was formed, and it's the first sign of reconnecting with civilization since the world entered the wasteland era. We must show everyone hope for the future.

Zhou Yuan will be responsible for building collective housing in the Giant Tree World. Each room must be no less than 100 square meters. Any successfully formed family will receive a free home..."

Everyone recorded Yu Yuan's arrangements.

But Yu Yuan had another idea quietly forming in his mind.

He recalled a thought that had flashed through his head while talking with Dale before.

He considered combining the shelter's Mammal Breeding Room facility with these housing units.

Mammal Breeding Room Level 1

Quality: Rare

Functions:

1) Mammal vitality greatly increased, disease resistance significantly enhanced, and satisfaction with the current environment greatly improved.

2) Mammal pregnancy rate +60%, birthing difficulty -60%; embryo vitality greatly increased, gestation period shortened by 40%; chance for embryo count +1, small chance to produce an outstanding individual embryo.

3) Can monitor animals' status information in pens, and compatibility with other mammals when cohabitated is greatly increased.

(Kind reminder: Do not mix natural predators in with other animals, or you will end up with nothing.)

——————

Humans are mammals as well, that much was indisputable.

Yu Yuan would not let the facility's population-boosting effects go unused.

More importantly, the facility could be upgraded further.

"Hmm~~ that's settled!"

After that, Yu Yuan and the others continued to discuss the next steps and assignments.

In fact, the overall plan could mostly proceed as previously arranged.

At most, a few tasks needed supplementation.

The one major change would likely be the relocation of the biological research institute.

Namely, Jiu Feng and his team's research site—Yu Yuan intended to move it from Johnck Zoo to the Morphis Civilization Relic.

With the Alliance of Nations' development, both Yu Yuan and Jiu Feng had long noticed the limitations of Johnck Zoo's underground laboratory.

Not only was the site physically limited, but experimental equipment and personnel division were also constrained.

Previously Jiu Feng had intended to seriously discuss these issues with Yu Yuan.

Now, however, a ready solution had presented itself.

After consideration, Yu Yuan decided to keep that Morphis Civilization Relic anchored in the Void, outside the Star Tracks.

He abandoned the idea of drawing it near the Green Forest World.

After all, pulling a civilization relic would create some disturbance and might attract unwanted attention.

Another factor was the Morphis relic's special nature.

All things considered, Yu Yuan felt that establishing contact with the relic via a Transmission Portal was the safest approach.

When the meeting ended, everyone left the Civilization Clock Tower.

Yu Yuan returned to the shelter and walked into the Hidden Library.

Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi were fully freed as well.

While he was exploring the civilization relic, the Hidden Library received another update of the Global News Weekly.

Two new intelligence cards refreshed on the display stand.

One Silver-tier, one Bronze-tier.

Yu Yuan purchased them immediately.

Intelligence Card — Secret Aura (Silver-tier)

Intelligence Card — Tactics (Bronze-tier)

Not bad. Secret Aura could be used in mystic or spirituality-related rituals or actions to increase success rate and effect.

The Tactics card would significantly raise the success rate of Tactics abilities.

But Yu Yuan's main focus remained the Global News Weekly.

He opened the paper and found three news items.

The first article concerned the Mechanical Vanguard Society.

Yu Yuan skimmed it quickly and his eyes brightened.

"Hmm? The Mechanical Vanguard Society's outpost came under a strange attack, crude oil spurted from the ground?"

"It succeeded, and those oil creatures move so fast!"

When Yu Yuan had encountered the oil creatures in Fuel Town and snatched the civilization shards polluted by black energy, he had activated the Tactics: Diverting Disaster Eastward, deliberately guiding the oil creatures' attention toward the Terra Continent where the Mechanical Vanguard Society was based.

He'd only been doing a test at the time, hoping merely that the oil creatures wouldn't interfere with Green Forest City.

Now it seemed the effect of Diverting Disaster Eastward had far exceeded his expectations!

"Not bad!"

He had no time to bother with the oil creatures and the Mechanical Vanguard Society.

Let those two tear each other apart—perfect.

In a good mood, Yu Yuan moved on to the next article.

He didn't expect it to be about the Myriad Nations Bathhouse.

— The Pilgrims' Rest

The cult's grand master Roberts, having repeatedly heard rumors about the Myriad Nations Bathhouse from travelers, finally tracked it down. With only a handful of church elites left, he entered the bathhouse.

Their tense, exhausted bodies and minds finally found sufficient relaxation.

He marveled at the bathhouse's luxury and service, and could not help but pray inwardly.

"Respected stern father, your faithful followers are still waiting for your return... When can we end this journey that seems to have no end..."
