After autumn, Vila Nova Dônia's morning started at three or four o 'clock in the morning.
The annual thunder season had arrived once again. The outer layer of the city was translucent and flashing with explosive lightning. The first ray of sunlight covered the entire city in a layer of golden yellow, but it also brought a lot of vitality.
Probably due to the long-term shroud of the Demon Fog, and the fact that the planet's rotation and rotation time were not calculated, there was always a slight difference between the normal astronomical time and the daily time that people used.
After a year of reincarnation, the sun that was supposed to be at seven or eight o 'clock came at three or four o' clock. The result was that the entire city had to adjust to the time difference.
"The board of directors has signed this year's Order No. 7. The new schedule is online. This time, the thunder season will be adjusted to four and a half hours. Today is the first day of the trial operation. After four days, it will be fully implemented. Citizens, please don't get your work time wrong and cause unnecessary trouble …"
The broadcast balloon in the sky above the city broadcast the latest announcement. People were eating breakfast leisurely in their houses and hurrying out. The pedestrians on the streets cursed and sped up their pace.
It was already four o 'clock. Four and a half hours? Wouldn't that be eight o 'clock? It was already time to go to work.
Perhaps according to the usual practice, people who were late to the trial operation wouldn't have their wages deducted. However, the daily workload was still there. Going to work late meant going home late, and meals and shuttle buses wouldn't wait for people.
After the initial chaos and uneasiness, Vila Nova Dônia had already entered the normal operating stage.
A city, as a modern population gathering place, shared two most important things.
The first was to provide people with the necessities of life, entertainment, and enjoyment. The second was to provide people with opportunities to work, resources to consume, and the value of life.
Compared to ordinary cities, the citizens of Vila Nova Dônia weren't much different. They would still rush to get on the bus, complain while going to work or school. Then, on the weekends, they would group together for entertainment, go to bars, and relax in the suburbs.
However, the most obvious difference was probably the unique holy emblem pinned on their chests.
This represented not only their faith, but also their belonging. They were employees of the church's factory, students of the school, reporters of the newspaper, and so on.
There might be some businesses that did not belong to them, but it would definitely not exceed 10%.
This was especially true for the twenty large churches with twenty board of directors. They were like large capital enterprises in the era of trust. They had various monopolies and semi-monopolies, and countless employees served them for life.
The chaos and panic from not too long ago had already passed. The panic amidst the chaos had now become the topic of conversation among the citizens.
Talking about those chaotic days was like discussing a sudden carnival, discussing those churches and companies that had withdrawn from the Holy Church. It was like laughing at idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly … Just one week ago, they were all worried and worried about their future, and were all thinking about their own paths of retreat and escape. But now …
"… Will the newcomers be the Oak Sons church or the griffins? Or both? "
This was the most eye-catching hot news recently. The seats of the twenty directors had to be filled, and the original shares had to find new owners.
The news of the vacancy had just been leaked, and someone had already taken the initiative to come knocking on the door. However, the person who joined this time was somewhat unusual.
Just from his name alone, it was obvious that he was from the Oak Sons of the Nature Faction. He was one of the strongest level seven churches in the Nature Faction.
Griffins was from the New God Church in the Auland Empire. Not only was he also a level seven veteran, it was said that he had countless connections with the royalty. He could be considered a "seed" of the Auland Empire.
Both of them were probably stronger than the current two pillars of Vila Nova Dônia, the Eagle Crown and the Radiance Scroll. In terms of background and background, they weren't even on the same level.
Now that Vila Nova Dônia's two-sided era was about to end, and a three-sided and multi-sided era was about to begin.
Their offers to purchase their shares had already been placed on the twenty-member board of directors several times. However, the Eagle Crown and the Radiance Scroll had rejected them every time. It was obvious that they didn't want such a powerful competitor to suddenly appear, nor did they want a new veteran to appear.
However, such good news had already spread like wildfire. "Individual investors" always liked to see the choices of the veteran leaders, and often viewed them as the weather vane. Previously, the withdrawal of small and medium-sized churches from the market had already caused panic. Now that there was a super veteran leader entering the market, it was naturally viewed as good news.
The news of the two major churches wanting to enter the market had already spread everywhere, and it had become the hottest news of the day, as well as powerful evidence to clear up the negative news.
In the end, the moment this news came out, not only did the trading of goods and shares in the market increase, even the morale of the ordinary citizens improved significantly, even though this had nothing to do with their daily lives.
The only ones who were unhappy were the top five members of the board of directors. They didn't want others to compete with them for the future position of Novodonia's Divine Faction.
However, it was obvious that obstructing them was meaningless. What would come would come. The rise of a new faction was a process of elimination. Once someone withdrew, there would naturally be others who would enter. This was especially so when the management of this city was still a rare joint-stock company.
"Even if you hold onto the original shares of those who withdrew, or even split them privately, it doesn't mean much. Can't they purchase the shares of the other smaller churches at a premium price? "
This was the process of elimination that Rorschach expected. The big fish would eat the small fish, and the small fish would eat the shrimps. In the end, only the big fish that could hold up the waves, or the new generation of fish that grew step by step would be left.
As for whether the Nature Faction and Auland faction's decision to enter the market had anything to do with the Game Church and Rorschach … Actually, even Rorschach himself didn't know.
During his "vacation" from Novodonia, he had indeed sold quite a lot of information, such as the proof of Titan's existence. As for whether or not the buyers were these two churches, even he himself didn't know.
"The facts have already proven that the two extremes are too unstable. When they came to an agreement and established the Divine Faction, we were unable to resist at all. Thus, we need more major churches to enter the market and muddy the waters."
The weak had their own way of survival, and the small and medium-sized factions could only survive in the cracks. Rorschach and Lori were still working hard in their own ways.
