Chapter 473 Let the People Suffer, and Let Xiao Bear the Blame!

In the third year after Xiao was sealed, his dream world had spread to the entire kingdom, even covering some of the border areas of the surrounding kingdoms.

However, a huge crisis quietly came, because this dream world was so beautiful that most people in the entire kingdom immersed themselves in it day and night and were unwilling to leave.

Many people even gave up the real world directly. In addition to obtaining the necessary living resources, they decided to live in the dream world forever.

The reason is simple: in dreams, they can have everything they want.

In their dreams, they became the supreme gods;

In the real world, they were just cattle and horses oppressed by nobles and bosses.

This huge psychological gap made them unwilling to return to the real world.

For this situation, both the king and the noble lords felt very headache.

Because people gave up real life and chose dreams, a large number of jobs were vacant, the development of the kingdom stagnated,

the kingdom's tax revenue reached an unprecedented freezing point, and the more terrible birth rate of newborns in the kingdom in recent years was only 5% of three years ago.

Obviously, compared with those partners in real life who are full of shortcomings and complain about each other, people are more likely to indulge in the perfect image dolls in dreams.

After all, that is a male god/goddess who is obedient and completely in line with their own sexual preferences.

Therefore, the king and the parliament summoned the top people of the whole country, and even Xiao, who had gradually abandoned the dream world and devoted himself to the magic world, was summoned.

A group of people prepared to discuss together how to deal with the problem of people's excessive obsession with dreams.

After two and a half days of non-stop discussions day and night, everyone finally reached a consensus.

However, this plan is to make the people suffer, and Xiao will bear the blame.

Specifically, it is to increase the cost of entering the dream world so that ordinary people cannot afford to stay in the dream world for a long time, so that they will at least come out to work during the day. Hearing this decision,

Xiao: "I thank your eight generations of ancestors!"

……

……

After the meeting, Xiao issued a notice to all dream residents.

According to the results of the discussion between the kingdom and the council, the dream world is roughly.

1. Starting from 0:00 on May 7, X783, each dream license will no longer provide permanent residence rights, but will be charged continuously in the form of point cards.

Calculated in real world time, one hour requires 100J of point card fees.

This charging price immediately shocked and angered many people.

100J per hour, 2400J per day, 24,000J for ten days, and 72,000J per month.

You know, the healthy labor force at home only earns about 50,000J per month.

They can't meet their dream needs even if they don't eat or drink for a month. This is forcing them to leave the dream.

2. At the same time, various facilities will also adopt a charging system. The regulations are as follows: (click to open...)

When everyone saw the long list of charging regulations, their faces became even gloomier.

It's okay to charge for a point card once, but the services that were originally free now require a second payment to use.

Even many human models and clothes that were once free have begun to charge, which undoubtedly brings greater pressure to those residents with financial difficulties.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After reading the update regulations, some people even began to despair of the world and felt that they could no longer survive in this world.

Fortunately, all the update regulations are directly implanted in the brain and forced to be read, so that they can see the last glimmer of hope.

3. The number of monsters in the public area has been greatly increased, and the plot mode, interactive NPCs, and task templates have been added.

At the same time, the power levels of all dream residents will be reset to zero. Residents can choose to design their own races and abilities in the dream, and can obtain power and magic equipment by killing in the public area to enhance their own power in the dream.

At the same time, the function of exchanging dream currency with real currency is opened, and transactions can be made directly through the dream bank.

In this way, even the lower-class people who don’t have much money can win points by helping the rich to work and fight monsters in the dream world.

Although, in this way, they have directly become the playthings of noble lords and wealthy businessmen, and dreams are no longer their paradise.

But at least, they will not completely lose everything in the dream. As long as they grow a few more livers or have better luck, they can still keep their personal dreams.

After the three-responsibility regulations were updated, countless residents were kicked out of the dream because they had no money to pay for the dream point card.

As soon as these people were kicked out of the dream, they started to make trouble with resentment on their faces. They went to the vicinity of the lord's mansion in groups.

Trying to put pressure on the nobles in various places in this way,

After all, it was written on the notice that after the discussion between the nobles of the kingdom and the magic reviewers,

However, the poor and the poor are incapable of learning magic. Although this world is full of magic elements, it is still only the rich who can afford it.

Just like the Xiao family's fiefdom Harugeon, a town with a population of more than 100,000, only less than 10% of the people can use magic.

The aristocratic magic academy where Xiao is located is not even a noble family. You can't even enter the gate. Magic and power are both gated.

Even magic is not an outcast. In this era of magicians where great power belongs to individuals,

A random magician guard can easily suppress them.

Therefore, all these things that gathered people to cause trouble were severely beaten by the local lords.

Even if he was kicked out of the dreamland by Xiao because he had no money, he went to make trouble and was beaten again.

These guys dared not speak out their anger against their own lord, but they started to attack Xiao, the lord of dreams.

People began to complain one after another, feeling that Xiao had lost his original intention. That was not what he said when he tricked everyone into using Dreamland.

As a result, now that he is rich and has become a council member and a great nobleman, he is exploiting his own people in turn, and he is being exploited more and more.

A large amount of resentment against Xiao began to gather, and all of them were imprinted on their bodies along with Xiao and flowed into their dreams.

Under the wash of huge resentment, almost instantly, the dream world like a fairy tale world immediately turned into a dim hell.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, cracks and lava appeared on the ground, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, the forest turned into a twisted place, overgrown with thorns, and the originally cheerful background music became eerie and terrifying.

Countless resentments turned into nightmares, surging like a tidal wave, and began to wander unscrupulously in the dream world, as if they were about to submerge the entire world.
