Book 4 Chapter 25.1 - To Pay
Sunlight in the new era was always extrely montary. In the blink of an eye, the gap between the clouds full of radiation was closed, and the dreamlike sunlight and the warmth it brought simultaneously disappeared.
The winds beca strong again.
Helen tightened her chinese jacket again, lowered her head, and walked towards the cold winds. The brilliant smile of a goddess disappeared from her face, in its place a chanical coldness, as if that smile had never appeared in the first place.
Just like that, she walked through two blocks alone in the frigid wind, passing so ruins that were purposely left untouched before standing in front of a rather disorderly street. The main the of this street was still ruins, but it was full of all types of shacks and simplistic housing. The four or five storey buildings at the corner of the street clearly had over a hundred years of history, belonging to the ‘big shots’ of this slum area. Only, the n that were laying about in twos of three, as well as the sewage and trash everywhere made one completely forget about the precious historical significance of this area.
This was already the edge of Dragon City. In Dragon City’s official map, this area actually didn’t belong to Dragon City. Those that lived here mostly did work at the very lowest levels of society, including cleaning up trash, transporting corpses, and other things. They attached themselves to the influential officials of Dragon City for survival. In the eyes of pure-blooded nobles, they undoubtedly lived in hell, but in the eyes of those from the wilderness, this was a hundred percent heaven.
Helen fixed her hair slightly, and then she walked into this slum area, passing many wolf-like vicious n’s faces as she headed towards the depths of this region. Even though she was dressed quite simply, her appearance was neat and clean, and neatness was the most fundantal difference from the things in this region. When faced with this type of outsider woman, those n who were idling their ti away and filled with energy surprisingly didn’t reveal any greed or desires, nor would they be overwheld with fear after learning of her true identity. Instead, as soon as they saw her appear, they would automatically move to the sides, opening up the best path. Only when her rear figure disappeared into the distance would their perfectly straight bodies relax a bit.
Helen walked to a four floored apartnt building, made her way past an entrance that only had half of its remaining structure left, and then headed up a narrow and pitch-black set of stairs. Two strong, obese black males were currently heading down those stairs, and when they saw Helen, they were first shocked, and then they imdiately stuck their bodies close to the walls, doing their best to provide Helen with room to ascend the narrow wooden staircase. They smiled towards Helen, not minding that she didn’t show any reaction, as if their belief that she saw their smiles alone was enough.
What overflowed from these two’s eyes, was respect.
Helen knocked on the fourth floor door, and then she pushed it open, walking inside. This was a small apartnt with two bedrooms, inside of which was an old-fashioned intelligence system, as well as large amounts of books and mory units. Within this sea of books and mory units, a delicate young lady was currently working frantically in front of the intelligence system’s light screen. The speed at which the data on the light screen refreshed definitely couldn’t be considered fast, but for ordinary people, it was already not sothing they could handle. The young lady’s expression was tense and concentrated. Due to the excessive consumption of ntal strength, the veins on both sides of her neck were quickly throbbing.
Helen gave the young lady’s current state a look, imdiately understanding that her stamina was close to beyond what she could handle. As such, she said, “You can get so rest now.”
The young lady suddenly relaxed, her body imdiately being covered with sweat. She turned around, and then with a sowhat weak smile, she greeted, “Older sis Helen, you ca!”
Helen gave the data on the light screen a look and said, “Sally, it seems like you’ve already prepared everything.”
This young lady was precisely Sally.
When Su and Madeline fled, Sally didn’t leave Dragon City, insteads choosing to stay behind. This young lady who lost her inco and protector knew how difficult life would be from here on out, but she still had a dream that hadn’t been achieved. Before her dream was realized, she definitely couldn’t leave Dragon City. Sally had long set her resolution to pay with her body, because when she first arrived in Dragon City, it was always her body that she used to exchange for her dream.
The day after Su left Dragon City, Helen found Sally and prepared this place for her, as well as offered her work. The work couldn’t be considered too exhausting, and the inco was quite decent as well. The young lady who lived frugally used all of her savings on books that recorded knowledge and mory units. anwhile, Helen would co see her once every weekend, as well as inject so genetic modification dications. These dications could only slightly increase the body’s functions, but it substantially increased the mind’s activity. Sally didn’t have talent in battle, but she was quite smart, and she had a rarely seen perseverance, and that was why the dications Helen offered were exceedingly effective. After several injections, Sally went from being a normal smart girl to an ability user with ten tis the IQ and data processing speed of an ordinary person. Even though her brain was far from being comparable to a high level ability user who truly opened up their intelligence, for her, it was already an opportunity she couldn’t even dream of.
Helen produced a small syringe that was less than ten centiters long, removed the seal on the needle, and then said, “This is the final injection.”
Sally sat in front of Helen, reached out her weak arm, and allowed Helen to inject it into her skin.
