In such a large city, everyone had their own position. That job was the prerequisite for supporting one's family, but it was also the way to realize one's life goals.
Disregarding these overly empty philosophies, at the very least, the choices made by each New God's Church differed greatly.
The twenty board members were the core of this city. However, these twenty companions sitting at the same table differed greatly in terms of their goals and work.
Although the top few Churches occupied a large portion of the city, had permanent members on the board of directors, and even had businesses in the city, their core goals weren't in the city at all.
They weren't interested in the beliefs of the locals, nor were they interested in the distribution of businesses in the city. They weren't even interested in the Thunderstrike Stones. What attracted them was the scenery of the no man's land covered in thunderclouds.
Titan, or rather, the clue to the Supreme Throne of Ansorenne, was the only reason that attracted these big shots to this "remote and desolate place."
Naturally, their people wandered the wastelands every day, often entering and exiting the no man's land. They brought back many things, but it was impossible for them to share their gains and information with other Churches.
In a sense, the train line plan that changed the entire wastelands' ecology was only a tool for the creators to facilitate their own land reclamation plans.
How was their progress? Did they have any gains? Not to mention outsiders like the Game Church, even the local leaders of these large Churches might not know.
The rotating City Lords and current board members of these large Churches were only second-or third-rate members in their own Churches. They might be working hard to manage their own businesses, but the upper echelons of the Churches would only focus on the gains under the thunderclouds.
Perhaps in the eyes of the true core members, even the insufferably arrogant board members of Vila Nova Dônia were only chefs, cleaners, hotel owners, and NPCs who provided them with logistics and a place to rest.
Rorschach had also seen these descenders who dared to enter the no man's land. After all, they had to regularly rest and take turns to be on duty. However, whether it was in terms of personal strength or equipment, it was impossible to calculate. It was as if everything was hidden in the dark. This was the result of the huge difference in strength.
"Sword of the East" and "Servant of the Plague" were quite famous, and there were also a few famous people on the Calamity Rankings and Legendary Hero Rankings. However, Rorschach and the others were from a completely different world. They basically didn't interact with each other.
In order to increase the sales of the magazine, Rorschach became a tabloid reporter a few times, but before he had the chance to get close, he was directly rejected.
Searching for and exploring the mysteries under the thunderclouds was the core interest of the top few families on the board of directors. Their branches in Novodonia were just logistics bases for the expedition team.
Such a church was basically a level six church or above. In the entire Vila Nova Dônia, there were only five or six of them.
Starting from the sixth to seventh place in terms of overall strength (not a ranking based on shares), there was no expedition team at all.
They worked hard to manage their own businesses, expand their faith, and increase the power of their Gods … The safety and development of Vila Nova Dônia was their common interest. Their businesses were the foundation of everything. They placed the greatest importance on the development of this city. However, this was also where the internal conflicts were the fiercest.
Business, service, warriors, exploration, miners, news, and so on. They were competing in every domain. Although it seemed like a joke to be the city lord right now, once everything stabilized, the position of city lord would be something that they would definitely fight for.
And this still wasn't their core goal.
All of Vila Nova Dônia was gradually closing in and forming a new faction with the Seymour people at its core … A God system was being formed. What they wanted to fight for the most was probably the central position of the future God system, which would be the God King of that God system.
Most of the dead city lords were members of the Seymour Church. The assassins had also been personally killed by the Seymour Church.
Although the Seymour Church was the seed of discord, it was also the source of vitality and the main force in developing new lands. The other side of competition for everything was that it greatly promoted consumption and improvement.
Of course, the Game Church … wasn't one of them.
No matter how fast Lori improved, it was still too early to consider forming her own God system.
The Game Church, which was a Level 3 Church, wasn't qualified to participate in this competition. The weakest of these Churches was Level 4, and there were even two that were close to Level 5.
At Level 3 and above, Level wasn't a problem anymore. Even within the same Level, there was a huge difference in strength.
After all, the 20-member Board of Directors was the core of this city. These mid-level competitors were naturally the main force in all aspects. Even the Game Church, which was at the bottom of the list, had its own way of life.
In reality, these small Churches were the most numerous in the new city. It was just that the Game Church was considered one of the best among them.
They controlled one or two industries and specialized in certain projects. In certain areas, they were more competitive than other large Churches. For example, the Game Church was at the forefront of the entire city when it came to news, media, and toys.
Although it wasn't a big one, it still had a place in this system. If it really became a divine system, Loli might even have additional divine positions such as "news," "news dissemination," "toys," "entertainment," and so on.
The big fish had their own dreams, and the small fish had their own way of survival. With different goals, the way they did things was naturally different.
This time, it involved the internal affairs and power struggle of Cape Town. The Aishi People also took action.
The big fish naturally didn't care about it. Most of the small fish didn't even hear about it. Only the mid-level backbone, the ambitious people who wanted to go one step further, had already taken action.
If they could get the support of Cape Town's government, their resources and wealth would be expanded. The spread of their faith would receive official support. Newborns could even be baptized and obtain a new God in the city. As long as the city wasn't destroyed, it was basically impossible for them to fall.
Benefits brought about ambition and ambitious people.
Today's Cape Town was open to traffic. It was convenient, but it was even more chaotic.
A large city with millions of people, after decades of repeated maintenance, the inner city, outer city, farm area, trade area, and serf area clearly existed without accurate map markings. The order amidst the chaos was probably something only the locals could get used to.
All the big shots were managing their own territories, but there was no limit to the flow of people in their mansions.
"Is this the sixth?"
When Rorschach visited the big shots of Cape Town, he received warning and threatening looks from people who were indeed from his hometown.
He closed the interview notes in his hand, smiled, and shook his record sheet, pretending that he was just conducting an interview as a reporter.
