Chapter 167 Methods of Settling in the Eastern Main City
Below the notice are some specific details regarding the opening process:
[1. There are two ways to join: shelter joining and partnership joining. Click the link below for details.]
Mo Ming clicked on the attached link without hesitation, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
He knew very well that the rules for this opening of entry would directly determine the relationship between all survivors and the Eastern Main City, and most importantly, he had to figure out the entry method, because it was related to the future development direction of his shelter.
The detailed rules that popped up on the interface clearly distinguished the two entry methods, making it almost immediately apparent that the main city's official stance was biased. Mo Ming stared at the screen, his brow furrowed, carefully reading the terms and conditions.
The first type of relocation is shelter relocation – as the name suggests, it involves relocating the entire shelter, its personnel, resources, and land to the main city in the east.
The core of this approach lies in "binding." Once the move-in is completed, the entire shelter, from its operations and development to its daily resource acquisition, will be deeply integrated into the system of the Eastern Main City.
The rules are explained in detail: the main city in the east has been divided into clearly defined areas, including the core urban area, secondary areas, tertiary areas, and peripheral areas.
The shelter uses a combination of factors, including strength, size, and contribution, to determine the specific placement location after a resident moves in. Simply put, the main city will determine the treatment offered based on the shelter's "evaluation score."
The evaluation score is a rating system from 0 to 100. As for how the scores are divided, the official standards have also been provided.
For example, a level 5 shelter with strong combat capabilities and a complete production system will likely have a base score of 90 or higher. Once it meets this condition, it will be eligible to be placed in the second-level area of the main city. The so-called second-level area can be simply understood as the prime area within the "second ring".
This position not only means better resources, but also greater say and management power.
It is worth noting that individual survivors or shelters with a rating of 90 or above, regardless of size, are eligible to be considered for the position of "Regional Manager".
Regional managers are directly responsible for managing the main city's districts and possess some authority to allocate resources; their importance is self-evident. Simply put, regional managers are close to the power core of the eastern main city, and outstanding performance could lead to even greater advancement.
Even more enticing is the official reward policy for the "Blessed Land" in the main city.
According to the rules, all survivors who make significant contributions to the main city can obtain the right to use the Blessed Land. The Blessed Land is a unique secret realm that can provide abundant spiritual energy, rich resources, and even meet the needs of survivors for breakthroughs and growth.
However, these preferential treatments are only for survivors who choose to move into the shelter. In other words, only those who move the entire shelter into it and fully integrate into the Eastern main city system can enjoy these benefits.
The second method is called cooperative entry, but in reality, it is not as attractive as it sounds.
The cooperative entry system is designed for survivors who do not wish to relocate their entire shelter to the main city.
Such individuals only need to bring their combat power and resources to the shelter in their own name, without losing the shelter's independence, but at the same time, they cannot enjoy the preferential policies of the first method.
Survivors who choose to join the cooperative program can freely rent or purchase properties in the Eastern Main City and accept tasks issued by the Main City just like regular residents, earning rewards and resources.
However, aside from this, they receive no additional benefits and have no opportunity to participate in management or enter the blessed land. Compared to the "bound benefits" of entering the shelter, the survivors who enter through cooperation are more like "outsourced personnel," and can only drift outside the main operation system of the main city.
After reviewing the entire set of rules, Mo Ming couldn't help but twitch his lips. The difference in treatment was just too great!
If we compare shelter residents to "full-time employees," who are highly integrated into the main city's operational system and have fixed salaries, resource allocations, and even promotion opportunities, then cooperative residents are essentially "outsourced personnel." Although they have unrestricted freedom, they have no job security whatsoever.
The official attitude of the Eastern Main City is almost obvious—they hope that the survivors will bring their teams and bases to settle in the main city and become a complete part of the main city system, thereby further expanding the overall strength of the main city.
"The official tactics are too obvious. It's almost as if they're saying, 'Don't even think about maintaining independence. You only have a future if you join us.'"
Mo Ming shook his head inwardly. Although the rules clearly listed the advantages and disadvantages, and the two parties seemed to have a "mutually agreeable" cooperative relationship, the true purpose of the main city was already obvious.
The official team clearly hopes to integrate more potential survivor core forces into the main city through such rules, thereby gradually strengthening the main city's dominance.
This rule, on the surface, does not use violent means and even seems fair, but it subtly creates a "boiling frog" situation.
Mo Ming put down the bracelet, his gaze steady, but he had already made up his mind: "It is impossible for me to completely relocate the shelter to the main city and be completely tied to your system."
His consistent strategy is to have multiple entities occupy the same location.
He prefers to send some trusted core members to the main city to maintain connections and resource access through cooperative deployment, while allowing the shelter to maintain a greater degree of independence.
He always understood that if a power hands over its lifeline to another, it will inevitably find itself in a completely passive position when conflicts of interest arise in the future.
While the Eastern capital is powerful, power does not equate to safety, especially for someone like Mo Ming. Entrusting freedom to a group that is not fully trusted is tantamount to tying one's own hands.
Mutual consent? Not a bad approach, but ultimately it has too many limitations. Mo Ming chuckled lightly, "Instead of betting the future entirely on the official system, it's better to find another way."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. The main city seemed to be opening the door to resource sharing, but in reality, it was using benefits to lure survivors to gather together. Mo Ming knew very well that true control did not depend on others, but on the system and strength he had created.
"Choose the benefits and avoid the harms," he muttered to himself, already planning his next move. His goal was to get a share of the profits from the move-in while ensuring the shelter's independence.
Right now, the most important thing is to determine the cooperation and entry plan, so that the pieces can be placed on the chessboard of the main city without being firmly restricted to it.
After all, truly intelligent people never entrust their fate to others.
