Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 1017

[Chapter 1015 Medicine]

“There are more than eighty years left…”

Walking out of the life bank, Chloe looked at Aaron as if looking at a gold mine, with unspeakable envy in her tone: “In other words, at least you Being able to live a hundred years is such a long life…”

“Isn’t there anyone among you who lives a long life?”

Aaron asked casually.

Chloe’s expression instantly turned gloomy: “No…many people died soon after losing their jobs because their accounts ran out of time…My parents, they, they also chose to use up the remaining balance in their accounts after they were laid off. The balance was transferred to me…”

“Sorry…”

Aaron sighed and turned to other questions: “Can you access the Metaverse from anywhere in the world?”

“Of course!”

Jason answered matter-of-factly! , just like it is normal for people to eat and drink.

“So…except for a few natural persons, almost all human beings have opened accounts in the Life Bank, and time can be traded…then wouldn’t those bank executives and directors…can live a long time?”

Aaron suddenly thought of a question .

.

The life limit of this world seems to have been bypassed!

“Yeah! Those aristocratic lords in the uptown area can generally live for hundreds of years…” Wilson nodded vigorously, with unspeakable envy on his face: “As for the Life Bank of the Leviathan giant, it is said that the directors do not have They are old and dead, and they have been living since the establishment of the bank. They call themselves “immortals”! “But we prefer to call them vampires!”

“That’s very appropriate!”

Aaron nodded and went to the Cyber Group’s virtual store in the metaverse. visit.

Various mechanical prostheses are sold here, such as the very popular mechanical arm – Labor Type 3!

Without it, you wouldn’t even be qualified to move bricks at the construction site!

“If I want to buy it, how do I trade it?”

Aaron pointed to a robotic arm.

The beautiful woman wearing shop assistant clothes replied with a sweet voice: “Our company provides free door-to-door service for physical goods. As long as you are in a certain city, we can deliver it… If it is just skills, as long as your chip is suitable, sir, we will deliver it immediately.” It can be transmitted!”

Aaron always felt that this woman looked familiar, and she seemed to have the same skin as the female bank employee.

I just don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl in reality.

He came to the virtual skills area and took a casual look:

[Driving (Universal): Elementary]

[Price: 100 days! ]

…

…

A variety of dazzling skills and knowledge… emit an alluring light.

It just takes time! Enough time! ! You can buy the corresponding module, inject it into the chip, and learn it instantly!

Aaron glanced around with interest, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

“Missing…basic subjects!”

“Even if a person learns to fly a spaceship by downloading modules from a chip, he only knows it but does not know why… If this continues, all those trained will be technicians, and all scientific research capabilities will be exhausted. It’s over!”

“In addition, in the metaverse of virtual reality, you can enjoy any food, beautiful women, and satisfy all human desires… This is no longer a mental narcotic at the level of nipple music, but a spiritual atomic bomb!”

Aaron sighed! , pressed the glasses.

This is the exit procedure he set up.

The next moment, he returned to the airship car in reality, and countless yellow sand flew towards him.

“Brother Aaron!”

Next to them, the thin Arthur and the ugly Wilson shouted excitedly: “You will be our brothers from now on!”

The balances in their accounts are all in single digits!

How can you compare with such a wealthy person?

If Life Bank accounts weren’t directly tied to personal brainwaves, they might even have stolen Aaron’s heart!

Uh…

Aaron looked on coldly, feeling that these four people would not rob him, and were generally considered good people.

‘Even if the account is unique and bound, there are always ways to rob…’

Aaron put his right hand on the car door and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At dusk, the outline of a huge city appeared in front of Aaron’s eyes.

The first is a black spot that suddenly appears on the horizon.

Then… the black spot grew bigger and bigger, towering like a mountain. It was a city made of countless steel bars, cement and metal.

Red, green, blue, yellow…neon lights of various colors began to shine brilliantly before it got dark.

The various colors play together, completely tearing apart the darkness, causing terrible light pollution even during the day.

Countless aerostats, planes, and even aeroplanes driven by old men were like dense bees, flying in and out around the hive.

When he got closer to the ‘city that never sleeps’, Aaron felt something was wrong.

The high-rise buildings he saw before were indeed there, but only in the center of the city that never sleeps.

Outside the city center, there is an area ten times that…

“Is this a slum?”

Aaron looked at the low and dilapidated shacks, with various pipes and wires directly exposed, and some even It was a three-no house made of waste cardboard, and I couldn’t help but be silent.

Originally, he thought that in such a developed world, he would see a city as full of science fiction as in the Metaverse!

Now it seems that such a city does exist, but only in the upper city!

The slums in Xiacheng District still remain the same mess and even darkness that have remained unchanged for thousands of years!

“Welcome to the city that never sleeps, the city whose light never ends!”

The old man parked his car outside a dilapidated garbage dump and shouted loudly.

Aaron looked over and saw in a shack not far away, a beautiful woman with a mountainous chest, chasing a skinny man: “Dare you prostitute for nothing? Let me see if I don’t beat your lower body to pieces!”

No! In the distance, several sneaky guys who look like gang members are collecting protection money from several children…

Further away, there are occasional explosions and the sound of gunshots…

“It’s really…a very dynamic city.”

Aaron sighed.

“All cities are like this. If you want a safe environment and a beautiful community… it’s easy, go uptown!”

Jason put his arm around Aaron’s shoulders: “But brother, you barely have enough money. But your identity will definitely make it difficult… You are a gangster in the Evernight City! Do you want to apply for a household registration? I know someone who can give you a 20% discount!”

“Don’t listen to Jason, he can know someone!” The old man stopped! It’s a good car. He scoffed and said, “Why don’t you let me find a reliable middleman for you? It only costs a small amount of intermediary fees…”

As he said this, he rubbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand.

Aaron understood immediately, pressed the virtual glasses, and transferred them to the old man for 30 days. At the same time, he also paid Jason the cost of the glasses equipment.

“The boss is awesome! Is there anything else I need to serve?”

Jason showed a pleasant smile: “The old man is still smart. This trip is equivalent to a full trip. Everyone can have at least seven days! I want to take a vacation, I want to take a half-day vacation, No, one day!”

Chloe rolled her eyes: “Jason, don’t throw your money into the virtual reality game, you will die!”

She looked at Aaron again and suggested seriously: “Actually, the city never sleeps. Household registration is of no use…the most important thing here is noble status! Without noble status, you can’t enter the upper city, and you will be beaten to death by those iron-headed guards!”

Aaron

heard a new one. noun.

“It’s a person who has lost everything and sold himself to the Cyber Corporation. After transformation, 90% of the organs in the body have been replaced, leaving only a head wrapped in an iron shell…”

The old man knocked A creepy smile appeared on his head: “If you lift the skulls of those guards, you will see a brain in a glass petri dish…”

“Living in the slums does not require any identity, you only need to have Money… and money can be transferred and traded through the virtual reality network…”

Chloe finally gave a piece of advice: “Be careful of those gangs, they are like scavenging hyenas.”

Aaron was keenly aware of these descriptions. I noticed some differences.

‘The interests of the top management of the Evernight City and the three Leviathan giants are not consistent…’

‘Indeed, the Life Bank pursues the highest profits and wishes that all natural people around the world would connect to the Gaia network and digitize their life spans… The mere nobles of the Evernight City, at best, are The local tycoons in a small area cannot compare with world-class giants such as Gaia Network, Life Bank, and Cyber Group…’

He thought for a moment, looked at Chloe, and smiled: “You are very honest. Miss…then, I want to hire you again.”

“Hire…me?” Chloe pointed to herself, slightly wary: “What do you want to do…I tell you, my robot hand is very powerful… …”

“Chloe, you are a good person. I have just arrived in this city and would like you to find me a safe, quiet room, water and food… Of course, I will not be without your agency. With protection fees.”

Aaron said what he thought no matter what Chloe thought.

He does need a ‘guide’.

As for being cheated out of money?

For a true ‘immortal’, even a hundred or a thousand years… are just floating clouds.

“I…”

Chloe was still hesitant, but the old man and Jason quickly agreed: “No problem, Chloe is happy to serve sir… As a team, we will also provide support for Chloe.”

The old man straightened his back and acted like a butler: “Dear Mr. Aaron, I have lived in this place for more than forty years. Where is the accommodation the cheapest, where the women are the most beautiful, and where the goods are the best. , the old man knows it!”

“Life… more than forty years?”

Aaron looked at the old man: “You are only in your forties?”

“Of course…” Wilson next to him explained: “In our place, the average person is three years old. You will be fired at the age of fifteen, and the only one who can live to the age of forty is the old man…”

Looking at the old man’s vicissitudes of life, Aaron could only put his hands in his pockets.

Well…you have the final say!

…

A moment later, Aaron, who transformed into a slum boy, came to a neighborhood under the leadership of Jason, Wilson, the old man and other losers.

Although this neighborhood is still very poor, they are all reinforced concrete buildings. Although they are generally only one or two floors, they are still much better than shacks made of waste cardboard.

“Master Aaron, this is called ‘Comet Street’. It is the best and safest place in the slums…”

the old man introduced with emotion: “I know a landlord here. She happens to have a house to rent. Absolutely Big enough and quiet enough to meet your needs!”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Aaron saw a two-story building not far away being blown into the sky. A figure rushed out of the smoke and shouted: “Accept the revenge of nature…disgusting transformation” People! “

Beep! “

Mechas emerged one after another, their smooth lines making them run very fast, holding powerful firearms in their hands.

Especially their heads, which are reinforced layer by layer, like iron skulls.

“Uptown guard!”

Chloe screamed, and with great experience, she led Aaron down and looked for cover.

“Damn it… I met a lunatic from the Forest Society!”

The old man cursed: “All natural people are lunatics! Those who come from the mysterious sect are even crazier!”

After he finished cursing, he saw Aaron next to him and waved his hand quickly: “I’m sorry. …Master Aaron, I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about those idiots from the Forest Club!”

“What Forest Club?”

Aaron looked interested.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why this natural person didn’t know about the forest, Chloe quickly answered: “The Mysterious Sect is just a general name. The believers in it worship various gods from the past. Now they are called the ‘Old Gods’.” Guys from God’s and ‘old days’… their brains are not normal. No, there are still normal people. I’m not talking about Mr. Aaron…”

“I understand, I understand…” Aaron smiled: ” “What then?”

“Among all the mystical sects, the Forest Society is the most radical. They worship an old god named ‘Chrysalis’ or ‘Cocoon’ and believe that excessive exploitation of energy is leading to desertification and environmental degradation. The main culprits of pollution… They have a crazy hatred of all high technologies and will launch attacks, especially against the Cyber Group!”

“So that’s it…” Aaron’s face remained normal: “Although I come from a mysterious sect, my purpose is still relatively peaceful and friendly, and I don’t advocate the use of violence to solve problems.”

A few people just lay there like this, and waited until the chase left, as if nothing had happened. Get up.

According to Jason, just get used to it, get used to it…

Aaron followed the old man and got into a building.

“Black Mansha! Black Mansha! I’m here to introduce business to you!”

the old man shouted carelessly, but there was no response in the empty corridor. The ground was covered with various fast food boxes and empty bottles of nutrient solution.

“No, something happened!”

The old man was very experienced and rushed straight to Black Mansha’s bedroom.

After kicking open the bedroom door, an indescribable smell hit my nose.

Aaron frowned and saw a woman with black curly hair lying on the floor in the bedroom, spreading her legs and half leaning on the foot of the bed.

Her eyes turned white, her face was blank, and her body was incontinent.

It looks like a doll that has been played with.

“No, Black Mansha is sick again. Which one of you brought the medicine?”

Chloe looked at Jason and Wilson anxiously, but saw the two people embarrassingly turning their pockets out, and there was nothing inside…
