Chapter 228 Deep Virtual Reality 55
"Ah, this wasn't a fight with alien creatures, it was a fight with people in the dungeon arena. Although my opponent was fast and strong, I still won!"
Not only can you improve yourself, but you can also earn a considerable amount of money.
"What exactly is the underground city?" Nobody likes to talk about this topic, and she couldn't find any relevant information online. Since Zhan Lin had brought it up, she naturally had to find out.
The two were already quite familiar with each other, so Zhan Lin didn't hide anything. She wasn't surprised that Xie Ning didn't understand, as a large number of young people were unaware of the existence of the underground city, which was considered a gray area.
The underground city was a small outpost built long ago to mine energy. Later, as the population increased, the living space on the surface became increasingly cramped. As a result, some people who could not make a living fled to the underground city in search of survival. They included the poor and criminals.
After years of operation, the underground city had become enormous, with complex architecture, chaos, and violence, making it difficult to manage. Therefore, the Federation abandoned it.
As long as the dungeons don't interfere with the administration above, the Federation will turn a blind eye and ignore them.
Most importantly, the black market is also involved. The existence of such trading venues often indicates that they are backed by powerful forces, so the Federation is even less likely to interfere.
The rebels are hiding in the underground city, Xie Ning thought to himself as he disassembled his prosthetic leg and listened to Zhan Lin talk about the underground city.
Zhan Lin's background was not good. She came from an underground city. After her parents died, she was adopted by her aunt, who worked as a nurse in a hospital. When she was eighteen, her aunt died in an accident, leaving behind this house and some insurance money.
But that's only enough to cover her college tuition; she'll have to earn the rest herself through part-time jobs.
However, jobs were too hard to find, so she went back into the dungeon and fought in the arena to earn prize money. Later, when her life improved, she would only fight occasionally, but more often to improve her skills than for money.
The virtual training room and the sparring sessions inside the Security Bureau were too easy. Only a life-or-death duel on the verge of death could unleash her deeper potential. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to join the task force at such a young age as an ordinary person.
A mediocre life is one way of living; she simply wanted to stand higher and see scenery she had never seen before.
Xie Ning turned her head and smiled, "Everyone has their own desired life. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Even if you disappear from this world tomorrow, living a wonderful and happy life today without regrets is also a kind of fulfillment."
"right!"
"Okay, I don't have any suitable materials right now regarding the overheating issue you mentioned. I'll revise it for you in a few days. I've increased the flexibility now, so you'll need to set aside a day to readjust."
Xie Ning helped Zhan Lin install the prosthetic leg before carrying the metal toolbox back to the apartment.
"It's so late outside now, why don't you stay here for the night before leaving?" There were no new tenants after Xie Ning left, so the room where Xie Ning used to live was still empty.
"No need, I still need to process the data when I get back, Dr. Ji needs it tomorrow." So today's time was squeezed out, but fortunately there is artificial intelligence, so data analysis is not too troublesome.
"Then I'll take you!"
It's still quite chaotic here. Although Xie Ning has used the virtual practice room a few times, Zhan Lin still thinks Xie Ning is a weakling. After all, researchers like him look weak, and he might get robbed by some thugs as soon as he steps out the door.
