The birth of the online game "Magic Ability" brought changes to Prandal that were much greater than what Tang En and the others had imagined.
Because the mental state was accelerated in the game, the time ratio was lengthened, causing the sensory time to increase by several times. This allowed many people with active minds to find other ways to use the game.
For example, learning in the game — because the system elf in the game could access the data in the artificial soul quantum computer, and the computer could obtain a large amount of knowledge from the magical network, they had a learning environment that was several times better than the real world.
Studying here for five days was equivalent to only one day in the real world. Of course, they wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Then, the students finally found the best place to copy homework, and that was in this game!
As long as they logged into the game and added each other as friends, then entered the game, they could open a room and enter the same arena. At the same time, they could turn off the spectator mode. Then, as long as they did not fight each other in the game, they could drag it out until the end of the battle. During this process, the space would be absolutely private, and they could copy each other's homework without any worries …
Then there were the Heaven's Enlighteners.
When people discovered that ordinary people could learn how to use spells in this game, the other Prophets also discovered the wonderful use of this game — it was to train the mind and practice combat skills!
For many Heaven's Enlighteners, the toughness of their bodies was very easy to temper. After all, the Prandal wilderness was very dangerous with all kinds of magic beasts. If they weren't careful, their lives would be in danger at any time. Thus, those who could survive there wouldn't have weak bodies.
However, the tempering of the mind was different.
There were too many Heaven's Enlighteners who were physically strong but mentally weak. The reason they couldn't break through was because their mental growth couldn't keep up with their physical growth.
What was even more troublesome was that it wasn't that easy to train one's spirit. One had to use a harsh environment, live like an ascetic monk, and unwavering willpower to pressure oneself.
Therefore, it was very difficult to break through and become a strong person in both physical and mental aspects. The boundary of the Gold Rank did not exist for such people. They could at least advance to the Master Level.
For most people, it was too difficult to find a safe place to train their mental strength.
That was until they discovered the game "Mana" …
What the f * ck, they were high to the max!
In the game, the time ratio had been extended by several times. One day could be used as five days. The growth rate was five times faster than the average person!
In the game, players could personally experience the casting process of various spells and accidentally master the casting ability of a few spells. Their dream of breaking through the limits of their professions had been realized early on!
In the game, one could also experience the feeling of being bombarded by various spells. Through the mental pain and stimulation, one could temper one's spirit and rapidly become stronger!
In the game, since the players were fighting for themselves, they would be bombarded with all kinds of spells. Therefore, they could experience all kinds of chaotic spells and learn very important experiences. They could also prepare for all kinds of unexpected situations. In the future, when they encountered similar situations, they wouldn't panic, and their survival rate would greatly increase!
The proficiency gained from practicing combat skills in the game could be directly transferred to real life!
…
All in all, these people realized that there were many things that could be done in this game, and there were even more benefits that could be brought to reality!
Since that was the case, why didn't they support this game?
The fanatical pursuit of the Prophets caused society to pay more attention to the game "Mana". More and more ordinary people knew about the existence of this game. The Tang Internet Cafe, the Artificial Soul Quantum Computer, the Mana Network, and other new things that were already very popular became even more popular. They were deeply embedded in the hearts of every Prandal.
Everyone was crazy and obsessed with the game "Mana". Some people even began to worry that the popularity of this game would affect production in real life. While all kinds of reflections were born, something even more shocking happened. Princess Aurelia actually made an official announcement on behalf of the Tang En Majesty!
The Imperial Family of the Irus Empire announced that they would support the development of this game in all aspects. They even asked every citizen to play "Mana" on a regular basis!
This was ridiculous!
Many old ministers were so angry that they almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. They angrily shouted that this was a reversal of history. They even ignored the obstruction and went to the Imperial Palace to personally raise their opinions!
However, Aurelia turned a blind eye to their attitudes. She continued to release those regulations and even further promoted the further development of the Mana Network, expanded the popularity of the Tang Internet Cafe, and lowered the price of the Artificial Soul Quantum Computer so that it could be popularized. This was clearly to promote the popularization of "Mana" to the end.
Just as these people were lamenting that if this went on for a long time, the country would no longer be a country, other new regulations that made everyone's jaws drop were also released.
First, in order to bring a better public security environment to all citizens, a population registration system would be implemented from today onwards. All residents (including newborns) would be forced to register a crystal identity card. The crystal identity card would be bound to the person. At the same time, the crystal identity card would come with a personal Internet access pass, a Mana mobile phone communication card, a personal bank card, and many other functions. It would become a must-have item when going out in the future.
Second, the agricultural tax would be completely abolished. Many industries related to the national economy, such as agriculture and the production industry, would be subsidized to support farmers to expand their production and increase their income.
Third, the compulsory military service would be fully implemented. Any adult over the age of 18 who was not studying in school would have to serve in the military for two years and receive military training. If they were studying in an academy, the compulsory military service could be postponed, but they could not escape their obligations.
Fourth, the country would respect the privacy and freedom of citizens. However, in the event of an emergency, the country would implement wartime control and military management, and all citizens would have to unconditionally obey the arrangements of the government. They would accept the government's call and work together to protect their homeland.
Fifth, the current aristocratic system would be completely abolished. From today onwards, everyone in Prandal would be equal. Everyone would have to respect each other's identities and jobs. People who sat in luxurious halls were not nobler than people who worked in the fields. Currently, all the privileges of those who had obtained the title of nobility would be removed. They would only retain the honorary title of nobility. Furthermore, from this moment onwards, the Empire would no longer create new noble identities. Only different honorary titles would be granted to outstanding citizens. The title of nobility would only be an honorary identity. It would not have any real power or privilege. Currently, all the private soldiers of the nobility would be taken over by the country and integrated into the military management. The principle of survival of the fittest would be adhered to. Those who did not meet the requirements would be eliminated and returned to their original countries.
Sixth, a competitive system would be implemented for civil servants of the country. All the citizens who met the requirements could participate in the training of academies and then participate in the competitive recruitment. Those who were capable would be promoted, and those who were not would be relegated. Civil servants of the country were jobs that served the people. They were prepared for those who had dreams and ambitions and wanted to build a better home with everyone. It was a very hard job. Those who only wanted to seek personal gains with the power in their hands should get lost as soon as possible. (These are the original words of the Tang En Majesty. They are not to be deleted.)
Seventh, the concept of territory and the identity of lord would be abolished. Instead, they would be replaced by "province" and "governor". They would be the "head of a province" …
After the announcements were made, the whole country was shocked. Not only was the Irus Empire shocked, even the Ryan Empire was shocked.
This step wasn't too big of a step, but it was simply too big of a step!
"Absurd! This is truly absurd! "
Some of the great nobles of the Irus Empire were so angry that their faces and necks were red. Alinx and a few other nobles gathered in the garden and roared, "We even supported the revolution of the reformists! This is basically taking away our lives as well! "
"Population registration system? It sounds nice to say that it's for better security, but it's actually to monitor the speech of every citizen, right?! After the registration of the identity crystal card, all the capital flows will be bound to the identity crystal card. It's too easy for that guy to know the flow of capital! Wouldn't all our wealth be exposed right under his nose?! "
"There's also the complete abolition of the agricultural tax! This is simply a crazy idea! If we don't collect taxes from the untouchables at the bottom, where will we get the income?! How can we support such a big family with subsidies? How can we live such a decent life?! "
"Third, what's the difference between this and us recruiting the untouchables as militias?"
"Fourth, is this to send us to our deaths at the front line at a time of danger?! We pay so much tax every year. Can't those soldiers protect us?! "
"The fifth one is even more absurd! It's not just taking our money, it's taking our lives! We can still make money without it, but if we are no longer nobles and no longer have privileges, what do we have?! He even wants to take away our private soldiers! "
A nobleman held the teacup with trembling hands. The tea spilled out, but he still pretended to be calm. "Don't complain. You haven't seen the sixth one yet. Even the personnel of the government agencies are facing elimination. We just lost our privileges. At least our lives haven't become worse. At least we still have land, plantations, and farm income …"
The next day, the imperial family issued a new decree.
All land under the heavens belonged to the king, and all the people on the shores of the land were the king's subjects!
Since ancient times, land had been the property of His Majesty the Emperor. Even if it was land that had been given out, His Majesty the Emperor had the right to take it back at any time. Today, the Tang En Majesty announced to the world that he would take back all the land that had been given out and allow all farmers to use the land free of charge! This meant that from today onwards, all the land in the Empire would only be used by the citizens. They would not have the right to transfer or buy or sell the land!
This move was completely targeted at the great nobles who had farmlands!
As soon as this decree came out, the entire Prandal was in an uproar!
