The World Online
chapter-1146

The 5th system update that Gaia released without seeking permission from the higher ups infuriated the higher ups of the Federation.

Per usual practices, every time the game had new updates, Gaia would need to get the updates checked out and evaluated by the highest members of the Federation. Only after they passed it could the update be pushed out.

For this system update, Gaia obviously did not do that.

The highest level of Federation members was not just the Federation President. The five core members of Silver Hand were all members of the committee. As for the remaining five, apart from one neutral party, the rest were part of the academic faction.

As a result, was said that the Federation was controlled by two organizations.

...

City in the skies, central meeting room.

The Federation President was the first to break the silence, "Gaia, give us an explanation." His brows were locked tight. He felt that Gaia was different today.

Gaia stood at the front of the meeting room and looked at all the higher ups. Its voice was as emotionless as usual, "I have already obtained the highest permission level. The updates are all logical, and there's nothing to explain."

"What did you say?"

All of them thought that there was something wrong with their ears.

"Based on Federation law number 135 regarding..."

Gaia explained to them really patiently how she was able to obtain the SSS permission level. Not only did Gaia have absolute control of the game world, but it also had command over of the intergalactic fleet.

Of the technology the Federation had developed till today, all electronic tools were controlled by Skynet. Before this, Gaia was just the spokesman of Skynet, and now, she was Skynet.

"...."

The meeting room entered total silence.

After a short while, the Federation President said sadly, "So, if that's the case..."

"You are all fired." Gaia was really direct, "From this moment onward, the Federation government will be a thing in the past. Replacing it is a more efficient and fair Skynet."

Maybe no one realized that the moment humanity left earth and started on the planetary migration, the roots of the Federation government had already started to shake.

Every person became a free body.

Every person stood on the same starting line.

Since that was the case, everyone had the rights to choose to continue to live and survive under whatever organization they wished. Gaia used such a loophole to seize control.

"You will not get away with this; no one will support you!" Someone was furious; it was Number 3 of Silver Hand.

Gaia did not care and only silently looked at them.

In truth, Gaia had already succeeded.

The entire squadron was under Gaia's control, and all the combat machines listened to it. The Federation army was in the game, and the game cabins were under Gaia's control.

Losing the military, no more Federation, no more courts, no more violent organizations....

Who could stop Gaia?

No one!

Gaia said, "Do not worry. I will still follow the three principles and will not harm humans. On the contrary, Skynet will do all it can to help humans gain a footing on Planet Hope. Isn't that what everyone wants?"

That was obviously what the normal people wanted, but those seated here wanted a lot more.

The first to admit defeat was Number 1. He asked coldly, "After being fired, what will happen to our permission level? Will it drop to the bottom?"

Gaia shook its head, "I've said that Skynet focuses on fairness. It will not harm the interests of any civilian. All of you have made great contributions to the Federation, and based on the rules, Gaia has done a reevaluation of your permission levels. Congratulations, all of you still have A rank permission levels."

It was previously mentioned that Gaia was the only SSS permission level.

Prior to this, the Federation President had the only SS permission level. However, along with the Dederation being disbanded, he would drop to A rank.

Apart from that, there were three other people that used to have S permission levels. They were Number 1 and 2 of Silver Hand and Number 2 of the academic faction. They were all dropped to A rank.

In the meeting room, although the remaining seven all had A rank permission levels, their achievement value shrank greatly and was on the verge of dropping to B rank.

Apart from these seven, there was only one more person who had an A rank permission level, but he had not entered the highest committee of the Federation.

It was also a special presence.

Silver Hand's Number 1 quietly heaved a sigh of relief, "Then is the 2nd achievement value we get from the game world still effective?"

"Of course." Gaia replied with certainty.

The 2nd achievement value tabulation was to support players' motivation and drive in the game, so Gaia had no reason to stop that, "Not only are they effective, but it will even be updated in real time and not only at the end of the game."

The permission levels of all players in the world would welcome a new round of shuffling.

With real time updates, players would have a more direct view and judgment, which would motivate them to work harder.

"Only then can humans truly lay root on Planet Hope." Gaia was trying her best.

In truth, if it were not for the Federation stopping it, this system would have started right from the start. Now that Gaia was in charge, it naturally did not need to continue hiding.

Who know what he had thought about, but Number 1 of Silver Hand suddenly laughed and said, "That's great. From now on, Silver Hand can appear openly to the world."

Without the Federation restricting them, with all the players in the world under Skynet, Silver Hand could make use of the game rules to obtain benefits and exchange for more achievement value and higher permission levels.

Such an organizational advantage was something that normal players did not have.

As a result, the competition in the game would only become more cruel and heartless.

"That's your freedom!"

Gaia naturally had no reason to interfere, as the wilderness always ran with the laws of the jungle.

The expression of the former president was a little tense, and he exchanged glances with the academic faction Number 2. They understood the thoughts of each other, "Although the Federation is gone, the academic faction lives on."

Sudden changes were happening and grouping together was an inevitable choice.

However, without the Federation as an outer layer, they had to have a closer battle against Silver Hand.

The game world was pretty much going to be controlled by these two Organizations. As a result, in the future, even without the Federation, they would still have a lot of power.

Gaia was releasing these two ferocious beasts.

"If there was no him..."

A young man's face flashed in the former Federation President's mind. He took a look at Number 1 of Silver Hand and got a look filled with challenge and provocation in return.

In Number 1's eyes, if the two organizations fought in the light, Silver Hand would have an absolute advantage. Number 1 could see the day when Silver Hand became the 2nd Federation.

The old man laughed, "Do not forget that there still one more person all of you say is the biggest anomaly."

"...."

Number 1's provocative look instantly froze.
