The people at the top nodded and slapped themselves on the head, while the people at the bottom ran until they broke their legs.
After confirming that the Sunlight Festival would be held in two places, a group of three to four thousand people started running around the two places. Countless gold coins and resources were poured into this bottomless pit. Several thousand square meters and hundreds of temporary shops were hastily renovated and put into operation.
Overtime, overtime, and overtime. The white-collar workers of companies, government workers, merchants and servants of the Chamber of Commerce, and even the workers who were busy building factories, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people fell into the hell of working overtime day and night.
All in all, everyone was in a good mood, even though the timetable was so tight that they wouldn't be able to finish it even if they jumped off a building.
But when they thought about the generous bonuses after the festival, the possibility of earning several times more during the festival, and the promotion promised by their superiors, they were naturally filled with endless motivation.
In fact, even the ordinary citizens were in a good mood these days. The passersby on the streets seemed to be in a good mood as well … Impressions might be wrong, but statistics wouldn't lie. Novodonia's consumption income in all areas, especially in the lifestyle, entertainment, and luxury goods categories, increased by more than 10% compared to the previous month.
The increase in consumption undoubtedly meant that many people were spending money … Although this seemed like nonsense, only when the citizens had expectations for their future would they have a more active desire to spend money.
Simply put, only when the citizens felt that they would have more money in the future and live a better life would they dare to spend money. In fact, they even dared to use their future funds to spend money.
This was quite rare. After all, Vila Nova Dônia had just gone through a war and was on the verge of destruction. Under normal circumstances, the citizens should be in a state of panic.
At this time, prices should be rising, merchants would be speculating, the real estate market would be collapsing, and the citizens would be desperately collecting resources for war and survival. However, the recent increase in real estate sales had spurred the entire economy, and the entertainment industry had also taken advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. This undoubtedly showed that the majority of the citizens were very confident in Vila Nova Dônia.
It had to be said that even the most picky board of directors had to praise the Game Church for their recent work.
"Have you heard? More than 90% of the new cities will have to go through an Evil God's trial. Only after passing it will there be a future. Only 30% of the new cities will be able to pass it. We have successfully passed it, and our future development will be very peaceful. "
"Didn't you read the news today? Many of the big shots from Aishi are paying attention to us now. They should be investing in us soon as well … How snobbish. So the news about 'those who haven't passed the test aren't worth investing in' is actually true. "
"Haha, you didn't take it seriously when it was absolutely true. Then, you didn't take it seriously when they said that the house prices were going to increase … I gritted my teeth and paid the down payment. It increased by 20% in a month."
How to minimize the instability of the people's hearts caused by the disaster? First of all, they had to advertise that "the disaster is there, and it will definitely happen." Then, they had to advertise that they had done a good job during the disaster. It would be best to commend a few heroes, and at the same time, remind them of the beautiful future after the disaster.
In the end, it was to throw out more news to divert the public's attention.
Staring at sad things will only make you sadder and won't make things better.
The more you think about the reasons for your misfortune, the more you will tear open the wounds of your misfortune. Not only will people bleed, but they will also become more and more dissatisfied with their current lives, causing them to worry about their actions.
They would think about how they were going to survive this month if they lost their wallet. The more careful they were, the more difficult it would be to survive in the future. At this time, if they received news that their salary would be increased next month, or they would be compensated several times the amount they lost, or they would be promoted, then they would naturally be distracted by their busy work.
This wasn't a difficult piece of news to think about. It was just that nobody expected the Game Church to do such a good job.
Several dozen pieces of official information were released at the same time. The official information was all true, but the specific details were somewhat "inappropriate."
They said that the threat of an Evil God would definitely occur, and that more than 90% of the Aishi cities would pass the test … Of course, this was true. However, this was only from the perspective of history. More than 90% of Aishi cities would encounter some sort of trouble related to an Evil God. However, less than 10% of Aishi cities would encounter an Evil God's incarnation right from the start.
Would the upcoming developments be smooth? Of course, the development of Vila Nova Dônia had always been smooth. However, since the Evil Gods had their eyes on them, the fact that there would be endless fun to be had was selectively forgotten by "Absolute Reality".
Even though it was supposed to be a hellish start to the story, it was selectively packaged into a perfect start to the story of bravery. The power of selective advertising made all the Aishi People feel somewhat incredulous.
However, if that was all, it wouldn't have been so effective.
This was a development that even Rorschach himself didn't expect. The news of the Sunlight Festival greatly boosted the spirits of the Seymour people in Dounia. It was as if they were injected with stimulants.
Everyone in the streets was talking about the upcoming Sunlight Festival. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Many Seymour merchants appeared in the market. Many merchants registered their businesses and bought shops. Many local laborers and white-collar workers gritted their teeth and took loans to buy their own houses, forcefully raising the prices of the houses.
The reason? Rorschach didn't understand at first. After all, he wasn't a Seymour. He didn't understand the significance of the Sunlight Festival to the Seymour people. It was just like how it was difficult to explain the significance of the Lunar New Year to a foreigner. If the person he was explaining it to was from another planet, then it was impossible to explain it.
For the Seymour people of modern times, the Sunlight Festival wasn't just an annual festival. It represented that their race had finally defeated the Thunder God and obtained the right to live a normal life in the Thunder God … In a sense, the time they could move freely was equivalent to their lifespan being doubled.
The Sunlight Festival had always been a traditional festival for the Seymour people in Cape Town. It was envied by the Seymour people in the wastelands and was seen as a symbol of advanced culture by some young people. Now, it was finally Vila Nova Dônia's turn. From the perspective of the Seymour people in the wastelands, didn't this mean that Vila Nova Dônia would replace Cape Town's position … Putting the symbolic significance aside, for the majority of the Seymour people, the significance of the Sunlight Festival was more important.
"I told you that the Aishi People are the same as us. Dounia City is also our city."
"Since the two cities are holding a festival together, their relationship will definitely improve. It's impossible for both sides to fight."
"Heh, this is the official recognition of the friendship between the two sides. This is just the beginning. Cape Town and Vila Nova Dônia will stand together on all levels."
Each rumor was more legendary and optimistic than the last. This time, there was no manipulation from the Church of Game. It was purely the citizens of Seymour who had put their hopes for the future into a 'deep analysis', forcefully analyzing the development and peace process of the next thirty years from a festival.
At this time, probably no one would have thought that the fight for the right to hold the Sunlight Festival was just a small trick used by someone to divert attention.
But perhaps the person behind it didn't expect that this small trick would cause such a huge uproar.
"… The total population of the city during the festival is expected to exceed 2.1 million people. It's more than 50% over the design limit. All the hotels and guest rooms are already overloaded. If we don't resolve this quickly, our first Sunlight Festival will be over. "
