Chapter 252 In Perfect City, even breathing is charged
"No, no, no."
On a huge metal platform.
Michelle shook her head and explained: "People who absorb compound 42 will neither have any physiological pleasure nor will they be physiologically dependent on it."
"The great thing about Compound 42 is that it enables the absorber to become omniscient and omnipotent in a short period of time."
"That feeling of knowing everything and controlling everything is the real reason why the absorber can't stop."
Is it omniscient and omnipotent?
The moment he heard the four words "Omniscience and Almighty", Xie Shen directly thought of Li Xiu, who could still restrain himself from being tempted by the chair after sitting on the "Omniscience and Almighty Chair".
——The reason why Li Xiu was not tempted by the chair was just because his willpower was strong enough.
If it were another experimenter, he would have lost his mind and could no longer get rid of the control of the chair due to the influence of the omniscient and omnipotent chair.
In other words.
The feeling of omniscience and omnipotence is like some drugs to be addictive.
Mental addiction.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen couldn't help but complain to Michelle: "If the effect of compound 42 is just to make people feel happy and addicted to it, then the official city of Perfect City, why don't you directly define this thing as a contraband?"
"It's very simple." Michel replied: "Because the original purpose of the official development of Compound 42 was not to make people feel good, but to help the indigenous people develop superpowers."
"Help the indigenous people develop superpowers??"
Xie Shen suddenly said when he heard this: "So those people under your command have superpowers because they took compound 42?"
"Not bad." Michelle nodded and said, "In fact, those who took compound 42 do not really have superpowers."
"They just temporarily gained the ability to absorb and control the power of the law."
"For example, Eugene, a man in the cloak who was killed by you before."
Michel gave an example: "The power of the law he masters is the law of the power."
"In this way, outsiders seem to have become superpowers such as flying, super power, super speed, etc."
"And Eugene's boyfriend, Tony Vogt, a red-haired fire-controlling man."
"As you can see: the power of the laws he masters is the law of flame, so he has the ability to generate and control flames."
"Of course."
Michelle finally added: "Although Compound 42 can control the power of laws, it looks like it has gained superpowers."
"But because this level of control is very low, let alone a monk in the God Transformation Stage, the takers may be unable to defeat even the Nascent Soul and the Golden Pill monk."
"So our Perfect City people have always regarded compound 42 as a pastime."
"The most is the most, that is, when sent to other planets, it is for local indigenous people to use it."
"After the combat effectiveness of the indigenous people is improved, can they help manage the planet, right?"
While Xie Shen was talking to Michelle, he saw a wave of extremely strong power of law suddenly surged out from the giant metal platform.
These powers of laws wrapped them all together.
The next second, Xie Shen felt that the scenery around him was twisting.
The sky is spinning.
When everything returned to peace, Xie Shenfang realized that he had been teleported to a reception hall.
I could only hear a burst of electronic synthesizers in the hall.
[Awareness recognition is in progress, please wait]
【Soul is being checked. 】
【Verification is completed. 】
[Dear Mr. Michelle Bright, welcome to the Perfect City. 】
[It is detected that your account balance is only 8701 points left, please recharge as soon as possible! 】
Ah this
After hearing the electronic synthesized sound, Xie Shen subconsciously glanced at Michelle beside him.
He frowned.
"Didn't you say before that you have more than 100,000 points in your account?"
"Why is it actually only a little over 8,000?"
"That." Michelle said embarrassedly, "I was afraid that you would kill me at that time, so I pretended to be a big-tailed wolf and reported an inflated number."
In the hall.
Michelle was talking when he heard the electronic synthesizer again.
【Cargo identification is underway.】
[Dear Mr. Michelle Bright, you have to pay 4,200 points when you detect that the living body you carry has a late stage of the God Transformation Cultivation. 】
【Is it deducted directly from the account? 】
"Yes!"
Michelle responded without hesitation.
at the same time.
Xie Shen also discovered a very interesting place.
——Although he has always shown himself as his own body after coming to the secret world, the system of Perfect City has not yet detected his true cultivation.
Perfect City misjudged Xie Shen as a "late-stage cultivator of the God Transformation".
This seems to be a point that can be exploited
Xie Shen was making a small plan, and suddenly a metal ring flew over on the wall of the reception hall.
This metal ring contains extremely strong power of laws, which is the official circle of laws used to restrict the actions of monks in the God Transformation Stage.
Seeing that there was a circle of laws flying over, Michel hurriedly urged Xie Shen to remind him: "Why are you still standing there? Put it on quickly."
The latter put the ring on his wrist as he said.
At this moment, Xie Shen, who was wearing a bracelet, heard an electronic synthesizer sound from the hall again.
【Dear Mr. Michelle Bright. 】
[The goods you carry, the monk in the God Transformation Stage number 0326, has been entered into the system. 】
[The subsequent points on your account will be consumed at a rate of 100 o'clock per day. 】
[Please keep the balance in your account sufficient at all times! 】
100 points per day? ?
The system prompts only Xie Shen was confused when he heard it.
At that moment, I couldn't help but ask Michelle: "The system just said that 4,200 points should be equivalent to the tax you paid for me when you brought me into the country."
"This is not difficult to understand."
"But what does it mean to consume 100 points every day after that?"
"Brother, you don't know anything." Michelle replied with a wry smile: "In Perfect City, including air, everything costs money."
"So from the moment we entered Perfect City, every breath we have to pay a certain fee to Perfect City official."
"In terms of conversion, the people at the bottom of the Perfect City account, including me, need to pay a breathing fee of 50 points to Perfect City every day."
"As for outsiders like you."
Michelle spread her hands and said, "You heard it just now. As the person in charge of taking you into Perfect City, I need to pay you a breathing fee of 100 points per day."
Good guy.
Xie Shen couldn't figure it out.
"Is it really necessary for the official city of Perfection to collect such heavy taxes?"
"After all, even monks like me who never care about the development of science and technology can be seen at a glance."
"With Perfect City's current technological level, even if more than 80% of the people in the entire city do not work, the city can still operate normally."
"Isn't it?"
"Is it necessary for Perfect City to force you guys, the lower class, to be so cruel?"
"The official is just to make you work harder?"
When the two talked here, Li Xiu's voice suddenly sounded in Xie Shen's combat power detector.
He said, "If I guess correctly, nearly 95% of the wealth in Perfect City should have been concentrated in the hands of a certain organization, a company, or even a certain person."
"The remaining 5% of the wealth is divided equally to others in the city, including Michelle."
"Even."
Li Xiu continued: "It is very likely that there are still quite a lot of people, not only without assets, but are still in debt." "It's just a city where private ownership has developed to its extreme."
Is it private ownership?
Xie Shen subconsciously looked at Michelle when he heard this.
The latter smiled bitterly again and nodded, "Mr. Li Xiu's analysis is correct at all."
"Ninety-ninety percent of the wealth in Perfect City is indeed concentrated in the hands of a certain person."
"And people are selfish and have selfish intentions."
"Imagine."
Michel asked Xie Shen back, "If the wealth of the entire city is concentrated in your hands, would you be willing to share all of this wealth with others for free?"
"Take a step back, even if you are willing to share, can you guarantee that everyone will be willing to share?"
"As long as the person with wealth has such a little selfish desire."
"Then it's completely reasonable to charge a breathing fee."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
OK
After all, it was nothing to do with me. After Xie Shen asked roughly and understood the situation, he no longer continued to worry about this matter.
He turned to Li Xiu and asked, "By the way, we, Bisuwu, weren't we invaded by the agent? The matter was resolved so quickly?"
"How is that possible?" Li Xiu said calmly: "Since Su Xing is trying to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of the God Transformation and cannot pull away, I urgently dispatched Deng Bin, who is in seclusion, to the front line to sit in front of our current forces on earth, and we are in a stalemate with the power of the agents, and no one can do anything to anyone."
Is this a stalemate?
Xie Shenluo was surprised and said, "We have become so strong without realizing it?"
"Just sending a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage can fight with the surrogate practitioners. Are the two sides equal? "
"You have to analyze the problem based on the actual situation." Li Xiuchong and Xie Shen explained: "First of all, when we fought with the agents, our main battlefield was within our five-galaxy of the Bisu system."
"So we are playing at home this time."
"We have a great advantage in all aspects such as material mobilization and subsequent military reinforcements."
"Not to mention, we are still the defensive side this time, and we are backed by a galaxy-level flesh-and-blooded spiritual light array."
"In this situation where we occupy the right time, place, and people, we are still stalemate with the agents."
"This is enough to prove that the strength of the agent is far beyond ours."
"Since the strength of the agent is far stronger than that of us, Xie Shen asked Li Xiu, "Then are you not in a hurry at this moment?"
"It's useless to be anxious."
Li Xiu said calmly: "At present, many scientific research projects in my laboratory have encountered bottlenecks."
"Unless you can get technology related to the power of the law from the Perfect City to make up for my technical shortcomings."
"Otherwise, the strength of our earth will be difficult to make rapid progress in a short period of time."
"In view of this, I will focus my attention on you."
It's not just intentional or unintentional.
While talking with Xie Shen, Li Xiu did not deliberately avoid Michelle beside him.
So Michelle, who had been listening for a long time, patted her chest and said to Xie Shen: "Brother, after I sold you this time, I can earn a lot of points in one go."
"It's all your credit."
"So to thank you, I am willing to take out some points from my profits to buy technology related to the power of the law."
"Once the technology is obtained, I will definitely deliver it all to Li Xiu as soon as possible."
"Do you think this is OK?"
Li Xiu seemed to have been waiting for Michelle's words.
Seeing that he made a promise, he hurriedly ordered Xie Shen to send a backup combat power detector to Michelle.
besides.
Li Xiu also promised Michel many benefits such as permanent residence in the Lishu 5 galaxy and a planetary starship that can be collected at any time. In addition, Michelle can also come to the Lishu 5 galaxy to seek asylum at any time after she encounters trouble in Perfect City.
Although they were just verbal promises, Michelle, who had achieved these benefits, was still extremely excited.
He said to Xie Shen: "It's not time to go with me now and supply the Tower of Law for the entire Perfect City!"
"Is it going to sell me?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't you just say that you should take me to the nightclub to see you for a long time?"
"Uh" Michelle smiled and said, "After a while, don't we still have to go to the black market to help Li Xiu buy technological drawings related to the power of the law."
"That would cost a lot of points."
"So we won't go to the nightclub for the time being."
"I have to reduce my expenses."
That's true.
Xie Shen nodded and said nothing more, he followed Michelle, through the metal platform teleportation array in the reception hall, after several transfers, he arrived very quickly under a huge tower located in the central area of Perfect City.
——This tall tower is exactly the "Tower of Law" mentioned by Michel, which provides the power of law to the entire city.
From a distance, the Tower of Law is like a huge mushroom, with a slender bottom and a bloated top.
Michelle led Xie Shen into the interior of the tower.
Not long after this, I saw a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who also wore a law bracelet walked towards me with a bowl of tea.
Xie Shen could feel: "The tea contains extremely strong power of laws, and it is likely some laws related to 'dormant'."
Normally, after a cultivator has a level of Golden Elixir or above, he can almost be immune to all poisons.
After having the Nascent Soul stage cultivation, even the poison distributed by the practitioners will be difficult to hurt the slightest.
There is no need to say much when it comes to the God Transformation Period.
At this time, the monks who had the spiritual consciousness could easily expel all the toxins that invaded their bodies with their spiritual consciousness.
But even so.
The cup of tea presented by the female cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage was easily knocked down by even the monks of the God Transformation Stage.
Because what is mixed in this tea is not ordinary poison, but contains the power of the law of drowsiness.
The female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who works in the Tower of Law is obviously a knowledgeable person.
She could see at a glance that Xie Shen had a cultivation level that was no less than Yu the God Transformation Stage, so she bowed to him and said, "Senior, please."
"After drinking this cup of tea, someone will naturally send you to your workplace."
"Only after working for Perfect City for 800 years can you regain your freedom."
"If you have any other things you don't understand, you can also ask them together and then drink this tea."
Before entering the Tower of Law, Xie Shen had already asked Michelle about various relevant details after selling him.
He was clear-headed and immediately responded, "I have no problem."
The female cultivator nodded after hearing this and made a "please" gesture to Xie Shen again.
The latter didn't say much, but just picked up the tea in the cup and decisively drank it all.
After the tea entered his stomach, less than a second or two passed, his sleepy feeling like a tide was carried over by the power of the law and rushed towards Xie Shen's sea of consciousness.
Xie Shen was unwilling to fall asleep and fall into a passive state, so he silently started to use the "Fanli Zhenjie" technique to absorb all the laws of sleep in his body.
While the exercises were being used, he also closed his eyes tightly and used a sleeping method to pretend to be hit, thus deceived the monk in front of him.
…
In this way, I don’t know how long it has passed.
After being moved many times, Xie Shen could only hear an old voice in his ear.
The voice said, "Okay, fellow Taoist."
"The staff in the tower have gone far away, you don't have to continue to install."
"You can hide it from the ordinary people in Perfect City, but you can't hide it from us, the god-transforming cultivators."
"I can tell at a glance that you have never fallen into a coma from beginning to end."
Although Xie Shen pretended to be in a coma, it has been exposed.
But out of caution, he pretended to have been asleep for a long time, and opened his eyes blankly.
He looked around and found that at this moment he was already in a luxuriously decorated room with all kinds of entertainment and living facilities.
There are two other god-transforming monks in this room who also wear the ring of law on their wrists.
The one who just spoke was one of the two monks.
