Chapter 216 235. Gradually recovering body
"Furthermore, the cities above aren't affected by the pollution and troubles of the changing seasons, so the probability of producing Transcendents is much higher than in the lower levels. Unlike in the lower levels, even if a lucky person awakens and becomes a Transcendent, their Transcendent circuits will be tainted by the seasonal fog, and their initial level will not be high, let alone any future."
"The reason Guangming Academy evacuated the lower levels was because they hadn't recruited a single student there in several years."
Xiaoman seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and was talking non-stop.
"When I was a kid, there were promotional videos on TV about the cities above, encouraging kids to work hard to become extraordinary, get chosen, and then go to the upper class to live a good life. Now even those promotional videos are gone."
Xu Zhi nodded his head as he listened. Even though the topic seemed to have strayed a bit, there were still two hours left. Xiaoman would definitely say something useful, right?!
For a long time afterwards, Nurse Xiaoman kept complaining about how the lower class was abandoned and what the higher-ups had done to make the lower class clearly feel the process of abandonment.
Her tone was a little indignant. Perhaps she couldn't understand why they, the lower class, had to bear the trouble of changing seasons instead of the upper class, but still had to be abandoned.
After talking for a while, Xiaoman suddenly realized: "Oh, I think I've gone off topic."
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart, Sister, you finally found out!
But on the surface, he still looked extremely tolerant and said, "It's okay. I really like hearing you say this."
Xiao Man chuckled, "People with the Light attribute like you have good tempers. If it were Zhuang Xu, he would have told me to leave long ago."
Xu Zhi smiled more sincerely.
"Anyway, I haven't been to the upper level, but I heard there are a lot of books there, and you can learn a lot of knowledge. There are also many extraordinary people, and there are also various special extraordinary academies, built by consortiums, city governments and the military, the Guangming Academy, the Tianxin Society, and the Gods Heavy Industry."
Xiaoman lowered her voice slightly when she said the last name.
"Gods Heavy Industry? What is that?" Xu Zhi grasped the key point at the right time.
"That's a place where lunatics gather! It's full of lunatics obsessed with various research. I heard they're working on some pretty outrageous things. Anyway, if anything particularly weird happens, it's most likely the work of Gods Heavy Industry."
Xiaoman's words made Xu Zhi think of the group of fanatics at first, but then he abandoned this idea because Xiaoman's tone sounded more fearful and cautious rather than disgusted and fearful.
If I had to say it, it's probably like the difference between a normal person seeing someone with strange behavior and a normal person seeing a serial killer.
"Does anyone still go to the school they run?"
Xiaoman put down her phone and leaned over to Xu Zhi, whispering, "There are many more! I'll tell you in secret, Zhuang Xu used to study at the Gods Heavy Industry College on the sixth floor!"
"But I heard that he first went to the Tianxin Society's school, and later transferred to the Gods Heavy Industry. It's strange that he didn't stay in such a good place like the Tianxin Society and went to a crazy school."
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Maybe Doctor Zhuang has his own ideas."
Xiaoman shook her head when she heard that. "What can he possibly think? He was expelled from school after all. He must have committed some crime and was driven to the bottom of society to open an underground clinic."
It sounded like there was a story behind it, but Xu Zhi didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he changed the subject: "These things sound very interesting. Is there anything else interesting?"
Xiao Man didn't start the next game. Instead, she put her hand on her chin and thought for a while: "Well, do you know about the city rankings?"
Xu Zhi shook his head.
"Our city ranks very high, basically staying in the top five. The city rankings are held every five years, and each time it happens is a grand event. We at the bottom can also see some of the scenery from the upper echelons and other cities through television broadcasts."
"If you have time, you can rent some videos from that time and watch them. It's too much trouble for me to talk about it!"
"Why do cities have to be ranked?" Xiaoman was too lazy to explain, and Xu Zhi did not ask her further, but asked her a question that she was more concerned about.
Is it similar to the GDP ranking among cities in the federation?
"Because the higher the ranking of a city, the more entrances to the Lost Lands it can occupy." Xiaoman replied as a matter of course.
Something I don't understand appears again.
Seeing Xu Zhi's confused expression, Xiao Man kindly continued to explain, "Although I haven't been there, everyone knows that the Lost Land is a very mysterious place. Most of the attribute cores come from the Lost Land. I heard that there are many extraordinary resources and materials in it. Moreover, I heard that high-level extraordinary people who want to advance must go to the Lost Land!"
"But there are only a few entrances to the Lost Lands, so if you want more extraordinary resources, you need to occupy more entrances."
Wouldn’t the cities with high rankings then become monopolies like a snowball?
I'm afraid these rules were jointly proposed by them.
However, Xiaoman's description reminded Xu Zhi of a place.
Midnight and the forest.
"But the Lost Lands is also very dangerous. I remember about twenty years ago, a very important figure in our city died in the Lost Lands, and the whole city mourned for three days."
"But we, the lower class, don't know who it is. Anyway, these things have little to do with us, and we, the lower class, don't have the qualifications to go to the Lost Land."
Xiaoman's tone was quite indifferent. After all, places like the Lost Land were for the people above to compete for, and she had no chance of being there since she was born.
"Okay, time's up."
She checked the time and ended the small talk.
Xu Zhi, who was immersed in his thoughts, realized belatedly that the intense itching at the beginning had almost dissipated. It seemed that the effect of the medicine had been absorbed by her.
She tried to clench her fists, and then found that she could actually exert a little strength.
It is indeed a strong medicine, and it works quickly.
Not only her hands, but also her broken body and tendons have shown very gratifying progress in repair.
At this rate, the time she could get out of bed would be at least twice as long as she expected.
In addition, some special changes occurred in Xu Zhi.
A look of surprise appeared on her brows because she felt "discomfort" in her throat.
That familiar feeling, as if there was a painless fish bone stuck in your throat.
That was her family member with a very low presence, and the only family member left by her side, no, in her body, except for the little alien species.
Unfortunately, although she sensed the existence of the [Spell], she was unable to use it because the spell used her own extraordinary energy to activate it.
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart. It seemed that restoring his extraordinary energy was imminent.
However, the body's repair process has taken a big step forward. She can ask Zhuang Xu for a bottle of blood coagulant and go home to try to give the little alien some blood to restore its vitality.
You can tell from the update time that I’m really stuck!
