Frostplate Federation's new economic policy is being broadcast on the news. Scholars and experts in the empire express their disbelief at Dai Weilin's high degree of control. They believe that Dai Weilin is resisting a 'non-existent crisis'. A large amount of technology is invested in production, and countless people are unemployed every day. However, the unemployed people are taken away by the army almost immediately and sent to Underground City's construction projects.

This forced work-for-relief approach is unthinkable in the eyes of the empire. They don't understand Dai Weilin's purpose, but Li Aoz knows the reason very well.

"Malefic Calamity is falling."

Malefic Calamity is not a simple layer of gas. It will continuously block Azure Planet and prevent Azure Planet from discharging energy. The waste heat generated by the nuclear fusion reactor will eventually accumulate inside the planet, catalyzing the growth of Entropy Lord.

This is why even though geothermal resources are abundant, high-level officials are still willing to live on the ground. They knew of Mr. Entropy's existence and did not dare or want to get too close.

But Dai Weilin can't control that much. He is a pragmatic person. Although developing Underground City will be closer to Mr. Entropy, it can save most people for up to ten years. Maybe in these ten years, mankind can defeat Malefic Calamity and find hope.

This is also true. Before the star bombing operation in the previous life started, the easiest people to evacuate were the residents of Underground City. The spacecraft directly started the drag engine and dug away the people and facilities. Millions of people could be taken away at once. However, the scattered Outland People were not so lucky. Many Outland People did not know the existence of Lord Entropy until their death.

What Dai Weilin did is right. It can keep the fire, continue hope, and also give Li Aoz more fault tolerance.

"Speaking of which, my "White Frost Gold Bones" mission has not been completed yet. Now I can try to advance it."

That Li Ren - let's call it that, it appeared too timely this time, not only helping me to grasp the dynamics of Azure Planet in time, but also giving me more opportunities to make breakthroughs.

Although I don't know how that guy came into being, and what connection he has with the former main god of the [Dominator] system—Morphedria, Li Aoz at least has a direction to investigate.

Uncover the secrets of Star Abyss and "Star Abyss".

After making the plan, Li Aoz put one hand on his chest and secretly promised, "Isaac Maxim, a hero of the country and a good son of the family. Since your body has been recruited by me, I will fulfill your long-cherished wish for you. From now on, your family is my family."

The predecessor of 'Li Aoz' didn't have any long-cherished wishes, and his relationship with his family was not good. Li Aoz didn't feel anything, and he didn't care much about even being forced to fuse with Rio's body.

But now, as a player, recruiting the body of a good family member, for Li Aoz, who has already regarded himself as a member of Star Abyss, he must be extremely kind and righteous.

Only in this way can he be worthy of the people and things he has experienced along the way, and worthy of his conscience.

"Come on, first of all, ask the family."

Li Aoz dialed the landline at home. Although it was still a working day, the call was connected quickly.

"Hello, this is Mark Sim's family,"

A middle-aged woman said naggingly:

"If you are looking for Franz, he is still driving a tractor in the fields. If you are looking for Lena, I am Lena..."

Li Aoz switched to pretender mode, and Isaac's true and sincere personality immediately called out softly:

"Mom, it's me, I'm retired."

Hearing this voice, the woman was stunned and randomly ecstatic:

"This voice - Isaac! My baby, why is your voice so dumb? Oh my God, you used to be a choir member in our village. Are you okay? Did you get a ticket? I heard that you were before We also went to provide earthquake relief, and my mother was very worried. Why didn't you call Li Ren at home at that time? This child is really worrying. I said that I should have given birth to a girl at that time, and now it is time to give birth to a grandson..."

Mother's nagging made 'Isaac''s nose sore. His eyes were red and he said with a smile:

"Nothing happened to me. I'm fine. I'm on my way home now. You sound like you're doing well. How are the others?"

"I have sent a message to your father and brother. They are very happy." Mother said, her tone suddenly dropped. "It's a pity that you didn't catch up with Susanna..."

"What's wrong little sister?"

"A hereditary disease in the family. She didn't survive it and passed away this summer."

Lena said it and smiled again:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When you come back, I will take you to see Susanna. We are always stuck in the sorrow of the deceased and stagnant. That is not what our relatives want to see."

"I understand, Mom." 'Isaac' nodded. "I'll be home tomorrow night. The high-speed train is very fast. We are still taking the Old Era undersea tunnel. I will show you the starfish fossils I took later. I brought you all souvenirs and some health supplements."

"What souvenirs do you want? How many times have I told you, don't spend money indiscriminately." Lena complained, "Your father and I are getting along well, why are we still in good health?"

"Mom, I have money now. With the three-year subsidy for the compulsory military service, plus the bonus for my disaster relief work, I have the tuition for Asimov and I to go to college, and we have the money to renovate the farm. When I graduate and find a job, I can move our family to the imperial capital!"

"You kid, go ahead and live in the imperial capital. When will you find an honest and kind girl to come back to, I will consider you capable."

The mother and son chatted for a long time, and the roar of the tractor and the meowing of the cat could be heard in the distance. After a while, 'Isaac' opened the video call and looked at the three members of the family gathered together. His eyes immediately became moist, and he waved to his relatives and smiled stupidly, as if he was welcoming or saying goodbye.

After hanging up the phone, Li Aoz transferred the notes stored in the forum through the ontology and began to learn university knowledge. Fortunately, although the two bodies have different [intelligence] attributes, they share the same IQ. Li Aoz was not restricted by these thresholds. Although it was not easy to learn, he finally broke the shackles.

"It works!"

Although Li Aoz never intends to enter the [Fine Arts] department, it is always right to learn technology.

"My guess is indeed correct. Although the main body and the trumpet cannot share attributes, their wisdom, knowledge, and experience are the same. They can use each other. Although this body cannot actually learn extraordinary knowledge, it can appreciate the content of the knowledge."

In a sense, this is also because Li Aoz himself is both an NPC and a player.

[Will players without Recognition Filter experience this feeling?]

Li Aoz did a little calculation.

Due to differences in planetary gravity and magic rules, time passes much slower in White Candle Star than in Azure Planet. He took fifteen days off, which allowed him to stay at Azure Planet for almost four months and twelve days.

If you make good use of this little time, it will not only be enough for you to catch up with your study progress.

"This bug is so subtle."

Li Aoz touched his chin.

In fact, he can often rely on this method in the future, not only to catch up with the progress, but also to tutor directly here.

Not only is it a plug-in, this is simply worse than the nature of a plug-in.

"It seems like time is on my side."
