Meng Chao was a little stunned. "I heard that it's a relic of a galactic civilization from billions of years ago that we can't understand. It's buried deep under the Other World, and after millions of years of erosion, it gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
"After Dragon City transmigrated, it went through a series of geological changes, and it was only then that it was exposed to the world.
"The Supernatural Tower is a large ancient ruins research center," Meng Chao said.
"The excavation of the ancient ruins stimulated the explosive development of Earth's industry, genetic martial arts, and spirit energy technology. That's why the current Dragon City has so many powerful superhumans and unbelievable black technology!"
"That's right.
This is a place where miracles happen. Everything is possible here. Today, your spirit meridians are damaged, and you will run into some difficulties when you cultivate, but I believe that as technology improves and the area of exploration in the Other World expands, the excavation of the ancient ruins will speed up. We will be able to overcome the difficulties one by one, and you will definitely have the chance to stand at the top of the Supernatural Tower. "
It was only then that Meng Chao understood what Luo Hai meant.
Regardless of whether Luo Hai was sincere or just being polite, he still answered seriously, "Thank you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Luo Hai said with a smile.
"Based on the rules, all newly awakened superhumans have to come here to register. Let's go!"
Luo Hai was familiar with the place, so he brought Meng Chao in through a specialized tunnel.
Once they verified the registration code, scanned their fingerprints, and scanned their retinas, they rode the maglev platform and went up to the fiftieth floor.
Meng Chao had taken elevators before, but he had never taken a sightseeing platform that was suspended on the outside of the building. The side facing the outside was transparent, and he could see the entire city.
The maglev platform was incredibly fast. It practically dragged him by the hair and instantly rose hundreds of meters. It made him feel a little dizzy and fearful.
The door to the maglev platform opened to the sides above the clouds. Behind it was a hall that was dozens of meters tall and as grand as a palace.
Forget about the dazzling decorations, just the fact that such a large space had been wasted like this was enough to make Meng Chao sigh at the power of the Supernatural Tower.
At the center of the hall was a huge pillar that could reach the sky. It rose from the ground and reached the ceiling like the spine of a dragon.
The pillar was hollow, but it also had a lot of branches like a tree. They spread to different rooms and facilities.
Both the giant pillar itself and the branching tubes were full of tiny holes, from which dense spiritual energy was spurting out. It was refreshing and refreshing, and every cell in the room was itching for a try.
Luo Hai told Meng Chao that the pillar stretched from the ancient ruins underground to thousands of meters in the air. It was like a unique "oil well".
It could extract the spirit energy from the depths of the ground in an endless stream and increase it to the entire Supernatural Tower.
The density and purity of the spiritual energy here were ten times higher than that of the outside world. It was the best place for cultivation and research.
If superhumans cultivated here, it would be easier and safer for them to reach the limits of their lives.
If monsters or etherealized plants were sent there to be modified, grafted, or hybridized, it would be easier for them to create brand new species that were beneficial to humans.
Even the success rate of forging, embedding crystals, and carving glyphs here was much higher than in the outside world.
The universities, research centers, and large corporations also had places similar to the Supernatural Tower.
In the end, it wasn't as big as this place, where there were so many exchanges, and where the Spiritual Qi was so dense.
Besides, many of the powerful people in society believed in freedom and did not like to be attached to any force of power.
Hence, once the Supernatural Tower was built, it became the cultivation center of Dragon City, and its status could not be shaken.
"My dad said that this place has everything. Cultivation rooms, medical rooms, recovery rooms, material trading centers, short-term refresher courses, and the mission center of the military station. Regardless of whether it's the services or resources, this place is definitely the best in the city," Luo Hai introduced the place excitedly.
Meng Chao could not understand. Since the Supernatural Tower had everything, and the quality was top-notch, why were there so many training classes and trade fairs in society? Why were there so many secret mission distribution centers on the deep web?
Wouldn't it be easy if everyone came to the Supernatural Tower to cultivate and trade?
"It's simple. Even though the Supernatural Tower has everything, there's an iron rule when you trade here. You're not allowed to use legal currency. You can only use Supernatural Coins. The methods to obtain Supernatural Coins include completing the missions given by the Supernatural Tower, bringing rare monster materials here to trade, researching and publicizing brand new martial arts, technology, and runic glyphs, and so on. It's the same as a second currency system that's independent of the official currency," Luo Hai explained.
"When you go to university, you'll notice that the circle of superhumans will use all sorts of tokens. In fact, they'll use the primitive method of bartering. Their goal is to not have the superhumans' existence impact the normal people's economic system.
"This is the theory of the old principal of Dragon City University, Fang Mocun. He believes that superhumans are ahead of normal people in terms of stamina and intelligence, and they have an advantage in the production and economic activities of society. If everything is measured by money, superhumans will easily crush normal people in all aspects.
"At that time, all the superhumans will be rich, and all the normal people will be poor. The gap between the social strata will be insurmountable, and society will be torn apart. It's not beneficial for Dragon City's colonization in the Other World."
Meng Chao thought about it and found that it made sense.
Last time, when he went to the material trade fair with Ning Shewo, one Monster Dragon's Eye was sold for six million.
The rich Extraordinaires did not treat money as money at all.
If it were not for the fact that the Supernatural Tower controlled the economy strictly, inflation would have caused the economy to collapse at any moment.
Even if the economic system worked, superhumans could only earn tens of millions a month, and normal people could only earn a few thousand a month. How could they work together to conquer the Other World?
With that thought in mind, they walked up the spiraling escalator and arrived in front of a tightly shut door.
There was a warning sign of a biohazard and a skull on the airtight door.
Meng Chao did not know the process for new superhumans to clock in, but when he saw Luo Hai's interested gaze, he knew that it was definitely going to be "interesting" inside.
Just as he expected, when the airtight door was opened, the temperature instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Under the dim light, there was a huge transparent container placed on the table.
Soaked in the murky preservative fluid were strange-looking specimens with monstrous and terrifying human shapes.
"Wow …"
Meng Chao gasped in amazement. He drew closer to observe them, and his eyeballs nearly stuck to the deformed organs.
Luo Hai was stunned.
"Aren't you afraid?" The Construction High club president felt complicated emotions.
His father had long since told him about the registration process for new superhumans, and he was mentally prepared for it.
When he saw the deformed specimens, he still suffered a huge mental blow, and he felt like vomiting.
But Meng Chao's eyelashes did not even flutter.
'This boy sure has thick nerves!'
'Should I be afraid?'
Meng Chao was a veteran harvester. He had seen and even touched all sorts of organs. What was there to be afraid of when the specimens were soaked in preservative fluid?
He thought about it. "If I'm not wrong, these are mutated human organs. What's the point of putting them here? Are they trying to scare people?"
"More or less. These are superhumans who accidentally died because they went through spirit energy deviation. When they were alive, they signed documents saying that they were willing to donate their bodies. Of course, there are also plenty of criminals who committed crimes. After they were killed, they were used as trash."
Luo Hao brought out two booklets from the door and handed one to Meng Chao. "The Supernatural Tower uses these deformed organs to warn new superhumans not to be conceited and think that they're amazing just because they broke the shackles of their genes." It's the opposite. At the same time we obtain inhuman power, our life systems become weaker. We're more vulnerable to attacks and bugs. That's why, no matter how strong we become, we have to tread on thin ice and tremble in fear. "
Meng Chao flipped through the booklet and said with a smile, "Interesting. The human life systems here are like cell phone systems. Superhumans are the ones who crack them and obtain the rights to manage or even develop them.
"A normal person's body is like a closed system set up by the manufacturer. It's the best in terms of safety, stability, and ease of use. The only flaw that isn't a flaw is that it doesn't squeeze out the maximum performance of the chips and parts, so its effects aren't good enough.
"As for superhumans, they attack the original system. They infiltrate or even destroy the system to seize higher levels of authority, from the manager's authority to the producer's authority, all the way to the lowest level, the engineer's authority. The higher the authority, the more upgrades they can make to the system and the phone itself.
"But the higher the rights they obtain, the more they crack the system. The more loopholes there are, the more unstable the cell phone will be, and it'll be easier for it to be attacked from the outside. There's also a term here — turning into a brick. It means that if the system fails to crack, the cell phone will turn into a brick."
"That's right. Superhumans have risks. If they're the slightest bit careless, they'll go through spirit energy deviation and easily turn into a brick. In other words, they'll die," Luo Hai said.
"Honestly, death isn't the worst. The worst is when someone uses the loopholes in your system and plants all sorts of viruses and trojan horses in your cell phone. They can steal your information and even control your cell phone. The Other World is filled with all sorts of mysterious powers, and the chances of superhumans being controlled are usually higher than normal people."
"It's written here as well."
Meng Chao pointed at a row of words and read it. "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. When you try to obtain inhuman power, the inhuman world will slowly open up in front of you.
"You will continue moving through the abyss and use inhuman power time and time again. You will be tempted and invaded by the unknown. The mutation of your body will lead to the mutation of your mind, and in the end … you will become like them."
Meng Chao stared at the deformed organs and bone specimens in the preservative fluid.
The specimens that looked like the remains of demons stared at them quietly.
Luo Hai could not help but shudder.
He did not want to stay in the cold specimen room for long, so he dragged Meng Chao to the next room.
It was a small exhibition hall. Photos were pasted all over the place, and there were a lot of items on display. Banging sounds came from the screens on both sides of the hall, and the sounds of intense fighting could be heard.
Meng Chao saw a burning superhuman. He seemed to have the ability to control flames, and he was levitating in the air while laughing loudly.
Then, he was shot down by eight rocket launchers.
Meng Chao took a small booklet with a black cover from the staff member and flipped through a few pages. He noticed that it was a criminal record of superhumans.
