354: Light of Hope

The first batch of netizens in the base were scrambling to occupy the high ground of community groups. This was somewhat like a group chat, but overall, it was modeled after the old BBS forums.

The reason for establishing such a community was that it would only require a small amount of computing power and servers to operate, not excessively occupying Three's computing power and storage.

"Are you done with work?" Shen Yuan asked.

"No, today I discovered many problems within the base. Although these problems won't have a major impact on the base, I always feel that it's far from the Shelter I envisioned," Tian Ming said, sitting next to Shen Yuan and looking at the busy text messages on the screen.

Shen Yuan comforted him, "Actually, you've already done very well. Reality is reality, and an ideal country is ultimately an ideal country. If it appeared in reality, it couldn't be called an ideal country."

Tian Ming smiled slightly, "What you said makes some sense. How is it? Is the community fun?"

"It's a bit like a BBS forum, but everyone seems very active. Everything in the community is done with real names, and over a hundred thousand people have joined already. It's very lively. I'm the administrator of this forum. Look, in such a short time, there are so many applications to create groups."

Tian Ming glanced over and said, "Have Three issue a community rule: each person can join a maximum of three groups. You, representing the official forum, establish an official service group and recruit a batch of administrators to manage various sections. As for funding, I'll have Three directly allocate it from my investment company."

Shen Yuan said with a giggle, "That's great! I'm a rich woman now, and this feeling is so awesome."

"Do you have any ideas?" Tian Ming asked with interest.

"Currently, many of the groups I've approved are research groups, all created by staff members. The names of the other groups are strange, and I haven't approved them yet. For similar types of groups, only ten are allowed to be established. Aside from official groups, a maximum of 1,000 people can join a group," Shen Yuan said, typing on the keyboard.

"This setting is very reasonable. It can ensure the quality and activity of each group. At the same time, it can also prevent some malicious registration behaviors from occurring," Tian Ming nodded in agreement.

"Husband, I have an idea. We can set up a reward mechanism to encourage good behavior. For example, opinions that align with the values and interests of most people, publishing announcements in the community, or reward tasks, to turn the entire online community into a real-life open-world game," Shen Yuan said with a smile.

Tian Ming scratched Shen Yuan's nose, "You and I thought of the same thing. We can implement this, and I'll leave these matters to you. I'll go rest first; tomorrow, I still need to investigate the Superpower Potion leak. I always feel that this matter is a bit strange."

"Okay, you go rest. I just finished feeding our daughter, you go 'fix' her, she's in the room."

Tian Ming smiled, "Fix what? She can't possibly be tearing up the house, can she?"

"Our bedroom, you'll know when you see it."

Tian Ming walked into the bedroom with a puzzled expression, pushed open the bedroom door, and the sight before him stunned him.

The entire bedroom was in chaos, with clothes, books, toys, and other items scattered everywhere, as if it had been hit by a small tornado.

Xiao Xiao was suspended in the air, using these items as toys, making them fly around. This ability was very familiar to Tian Ming; it was the skill of telekinesis.

Seeing her father, Xiao Xiao smiled and flew towards Tian Ming. Her Nanometer Avatar had already transformed into soft clothing, covering Xiao Xiao's body.

Looking at his daughter's expression, Tian Ming shook his head helplessly. This little one was getting more and more mischievous. With a slight wave of his hand, all the items began to automatically sort themselves back into place.

Now, his telekinetic ability, combined with Three's computing power, was almost omnipotent. Where was each item? Although he couldn't remember, Three would help him remember.

He picked up his daughter, gently patted her back, and softly said, "Little darling, you're so young and you've already unlocked telekinesis. Daddy is really curious, are you an Ability User of all elements like Daddy?"

Tian Ming chuckled self-deprecatingly, because there was only one Creator God, and only one Ability User of all elements. Xiao Xiao's elemental control ability had not yet been displayed, but Tian Ming knew that his daughter was definitely second only to him in existence.

Xiao Xiao reached out and touched Tian Ming's cheek, a crackle of an electric arc, which made Tian Ming feel a bit helpless.

"Alright, stop being naughty. Daddy will take you to sleep." Tian Ming held Xiao Xiao, gently placed her on the bed, then lay beside her, gently patting her back and softly coaxing her to sleep.

Before long, Xiao Xiao closed her eyes, and her breathing became steady, clearly having fallen into a dream. It seemed his daughter was still very considerate of her father.

Looking at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face, Tian Ming nodded with satisfaction, turned over, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a dream as well.

The next morning, they woke up very early. Three had already organized all of Chen Fei's testimony and analyzed the key points.

In the Donghai City area enclosed by the base walls, there was an organization called Hope of Light, located approximately eighty kilometers east of the base's core.

The free market that the Enforcement Team shut down was about ten kilometers from that location. A large group of people gathered there, staying away from the base and the Underground City, refusing to be managed. Chen Fei had been there once, to deliver a package, but he was stopped at the periphery and did not go deep inside.

After reading Three's analysis report, Tian Ming decided to personally investigate the location of the Hope of Light organization. The Superpower Potion might be related to this organization.

According to the information provided by Three, this Hope of Light had not been registered with the Comprehensive Management Department. The personnel inside were unclear, and the Enforcement Bureau had not taken the time to manage the existence of this organization.

Perhaps, because it hadn't caused any impact, the Enforcement Bureau considered this place a purely spontaneous civilian organization. Regardless of the reason, now that it was linked to the Superpower Potion, it was no longer a simple matter.

"Little Yuan, I'm going out!"

"Aren't you going to have some porridge? I cooked some porridge, and it turned out pretty good this time," Shen Yuan said, coming out of the kitchen with a spoon.

"Alright, give me a bowl!"

Shen Yuan giggled, picked up a bowl, and filled it to the brim for him.

"Try it, how does it taste?"

Tian Ming scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and then put it in his mouth.

The porridge had a strange taste. He stirred it twice with his spoon, and a huge century egg floated out.

"Damn it, didn't you even slice the century egg?" Tian Ming said, both annoyed and amused. Shen Yuan's cooking style was indeed unique.

"I thought it would taste better this way. What, is it not good?" Shen Yuan asked.

"Everything you make is delicious!" Tian Ming sat down, took a few bites of pickled vegetables, and quickly finished the porridge in his bowl.

"I'm leaving. Xiao Xiao is still sleeping. Remember to feed her when she wakes up."

"Got it!"
