Chapter 833: 832. Cultivation
The approaching Hovering Car was battered and belching black smoke, its body covered in colorful graffiti, unmistakably a gang’s vehicle.
It carried four burly n with leering smiles, their bodies covered in grotesque, ugly cybernetic enhancents with screws and wires exposed.
These were the lowest street thugs of the Heaven Origin Realm, utterly unqualified to even appear before Lu Yao, yet they scared Mark and Morris half to death!
Morris imdiately shouted, “Mark! Get your smart toy to fire!”
But Mark was incredibly rational; he instantly realized that both the Hovering Car and the burly n’s chanical enhancers were technologically far superior to Blue Star!
They stood no chance of resisting.
Having spent over a decade in the Star Alliance Country, robberies were a common occurrence, and Mark knew very well what to do now.
He imdiately knelt down with his hands on his head, placing his valuables beside him, showing no intention of resisting.
By the ti he had done all this, the four burly n had already surrounded them.
Their teeth were yellow, and they reeked of a foul mix of gear oil and sweaty acid, grinning salaciously:
“Where did these two lambs co from? Perfect for a payday for us brothers!”
“Unmodified! They’d fetch a good price at the slave market!”
Their arrogant and disdainful deanor deeply agitated Morris!
Ever since that incident, faced with ridicule from all over Blue Star, and even contempt from his closest kin, he had developed severe psychological issues.
These burly n overlapped with those who mocked him, and Morris suddenly exploded with disobedience, picking up a rifle and roaring as he fired wildly:
“Vermin-like trash! Dare to look down on ! Die, all of you!”
His determination was palpable, but alas, it posed no threat.
The rifle bullets were easily blocked by the cybernetic enhancers and subdermal armor, further infuriating the thieves.
“Where did this idiot co from, trying to disgust us grandpas with such a toy!”
One particularly bulky thug, whose hands had been modified into cannon barrels, suddenly fired a blue plasma beam, instantly lting Morris’s rifle with a sizzling sound.
Morris’s hands were severely burnt, and he knelt down on the ground, crying out in agony.
But the real ordeal was just beginning!
The burly man approached, sneering:
“Idiot!”
As he spoke, Morris’s entire face was covered by a shadow!
For a mont, Morris forgot the intense pain and panicked, “What are you doing! Stop…stop!!!”
His cries echoed through the skies, and the robbers enjoyed it imnsely, ultimately taking all of Morris’s organs and freezing them.
Mark, lying nearby, was sweating profusely, quietly praying for himself.
After a long while, the burly man walked over and said to him:
“You were sensible, saved us old folks so effort, and got off a bit easier. Let’s go~”
Then, a group escorted Mark to “Secret Blood City.”
Witnessing this super-massive cyber-tropolis with his own eyes, and seeing the streets filled with cybernetically modified people… Mark’s eyes went wide, and all his fear vanished without a trace!
“This is my promised land!”
For Mark, this bustling yet decayed city offered cutting-edge technology and limitless possibilities.
At this mont, he was fearless!
Even if it ant having most of his organs harvested and replaced with cheap prosthetics to serve as a slave laborer, he didn’t care and instead sought every ans to assimilate here.
Although his arrival was recent, Mark had firmly rembered a phrase—flesh is weak, only machinery can ascend!
Unlike this duo’s tragic situation, Xia Country had a well-established “newbie tutorial” phase, which was gradually getting on the right track.
Wang Guowei beca an official disciple under the “General Commander of the Kanto Civil Self-Defense Forces,” Tang Juwu; the other elites were nominal disciples, only qualifying for full discipleship after Organ Refining.
With Martial Artists of the No-Leak Realm instructing them, there should be no problems going forward.
Li Lei, Sanna, and others, leveraging their extensive scientific knowledge and managerial experience, rapidly made a na for themselves in the market district.
There was already an administrator from the Innate Realm who saw potential in them, teaching them martial arts during his spare ti to lessen his own burdens.
In this manner, through their various connections, a hundred “Chosen” were embarking on this magical journey in their own ways.
So tried to steal the “Iron Battle Suits,” only to be shredded by defensive lasers;
so, sensing the opportunity early, were bitten by a mysterious little spider, turning into mindless spider monsters;
The participants experienced a mix of joy and sorrow, effort and reward, and even… death.
But as long as they lived, they would surely bring back the essence of another civilization.
It was predictable that Blue Star would not remain stagnant; sparks of thought were bound to clash violently.
All these events were watched by Lu Yao, who honestly grew more and more excited about the future of Blue Star, eager to see what a world with a proliferation of competing ideas would look like.
Simultaneously, Lu Yao gradually improved his self-created “Myriad Realms Paradise” based on the perforrs’ actions.
“Live broadcast capability added, this is simple, just mimic telecommunications signals.”
“Marketplace function is also online, I need to set up so treasures to stabilize the platform.”
At that mont, Lu Yao was operating a light screen that prominently displayed the “Marketplace of All Realms.”
In Lu Yao’s vision, this would be a multi-functional shopping website that would allow users to set up their own shops to sell or auction various goods and services from myriad universes.
Furthermore, the marketplace also offered an “enhancent” feature where users could pay to beco stronger, including a series of powerful cultivation techniques and treasures that Lu Yao was about to list.
Of course, none of this was free; the marketplace had a unified currency called “Space-Ti Vouchers.”
Users had to submit various treasures, cultivation techniques, and exotic items to earn these vouchers.
And upgrading their “Star Level” as users would also cost “Space-Ti Vouchers.”
Lu Yao even considered offering a “loan service”… but then decided against it, leaving it as it was for now.
As he was imrsed and unable to pull himself away, Qin Yingying suddenly ca with her sister to bid farewell.
As a leader and a cornerstone for many, she couldn’t afford to be lost in love.
After spending several days together, the young girl’s spirited face had gained a hint of charm; she crisply said:
“I’ve been out for so days, I should go back and take a look now, leaving soon~”
Lu Yao nodded, “Anyway, I’ve set up the pathway, we can et anyti.”
Qin Yingying smiled, “Yes, but you’re so busy, just don’t find annoying~”
“How could I?” Lu Yao embraced the tall young woman and sent her through the “Pathways to All Realms” back to the Yan Huang Realm.
After the sisters left, Lu Yao enthusiastically returned to his work.
At this mont, he had forgotten the benefits the “Myriad Realms Paradise” could bring; he simply found it fun and interesting.
At his level, it was indeed rare to find such interesting things.
