“Who knows… Anyway, it was like this when I arrived.” Kent shrugged.
Mark also looked dumbfounded. It seems being a local, he had long been used to the existence of gangs and had never considered this issue.
Fars shook his head slightly and clicked his tongue:
“Make you study well, but you just don’t. Now you don’t know, do you? This part has been mentioned in the books.”
Fars waggled his fingers as he boasted:
“We Alchemists value One Qi, Two Directions, Three States, and Four Elements.
“One Qi represents the Qi of nature, meaning all alchemy materials, alchemy runes, and alchemy formulas can ultimately be traced back to nature.
“Two Directions refer to the movements of ascent and descent. Approaching chaos is rising, and returning to order is falling.”
“Three States represent the ascending state, stable state, and descending state, symbolizing the state of things.
“Four Elements is self-explanatory, nothing more than fire, wind, earth, and water – the four basic elements.”
“Your security company corresponds to the descending state of returning to order, while gangs represent the ascending state pursuing chaos. If both of you are considered as a whole, your antagonistic relationship would be the stable state.”
“Of course, the sages in the Alchemy Cathedral know that gangs are not a good thing. But you see, they value these principles. They believe that the coexistence of the three states is the most perfect state.”
“That’s why there’s a situation where you guys and the gangs are opposed to each other, and neither can really do anything about the other. Think about it, every time things get really bad between you, isn’t it the Alchemy Cathedral that sends people to mediate?”
Kent sneered at the boastful Fars:
“Where are you showing off again? What’s the use of all this dry theory? In the end, you still need me to help you out.”
Mark on the side, clutching his head with furrowed brows, looked like he was trying to grow a brain:
“Ah… it’s so complicated. It seems I’m not cut out for studying. I might as well try my luck in the ruins of the ancient dynasty. Boss, please take me with you next time you enter the ruins.”
Noland Lee glanced around at the other team members, and they all looked as if they were listening to a heavenly book, gazing blankly at Fars…
As expected, the Federation’s high literacy rate doesn’t mean that ordinary people have a high level of scholarship.
Locals in the Federation may be able to read and write, but understanding the profound alchemy theories is not as fun as pulling a trigger or fighting with others.
Fars pretended not to hear Kent’s mockery, shook his head, and said with self-indulgence:
“Say what you want about me, Kent. Anywvay, after the Spray Powder Day ends this time, don’t expect me to come out of the lab. Even if you beg me to help you identify things, I won’t bother.”
“Then don’t expect me to help you fight next time…”
“Help or don’t help-NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
The closer to Union City, the more lively the atmosphere within the team.
After a day and night of a long journey, the exhausted faces of the team members began to show smiles of relief from their burdens.
Watching Kent and the others bicker, Noland Lee couldn’t help but laugh to himself.
As they approached the City Gate, the car slowed down.
The city’s land plots are divided into fan-shaped areas around the central Great Rift, and the city gates connected to these areas are guarded by the holders of the plots.
Iron Thorn Shield is a subsidiary of the Golden Commerce Guild.
The Golden Commerce Guild holds Sector 7 in the Lower Town.
Correspondingly, Cave Door 7 on the wall is guarded by Iron Thorn Shield Security Firm.
Noland Lee finally understood how the clean Identity Cards came about…
It turned out they were issued by the security company and gangs themselves…
Who printed clean Identity Cards and who got the clean Identity Cards were all controlled by the higher-ups in the security company and gangs, they knew everything clearly.
If there were clean Identity Cards appearing on the black market, the higher-ups of the gang would find out who sold them in no time.
Those who sold them couldn’t escape, and those who printed them didn’t bother for such money.
This was probably the reason why there were no clean Identity Cards on the black market.
With Kent, the security captain, Noland Lee passed the inspection without any trouble and entered Sector 7 controlled by the Golden Commerce Guild.
As they went through the bustling streets, smelling the haze in the air, and seeing ordinary people wearing work clothes, trench coats, and dresses, Noland Lee felt as though he had returned to urban life.
The buildings in the city were not very tall, with none exceeding five stories, Dut stanamg tignt1Y against tne roaas createcl a sense or overcrowding.
There were sewage drains, manhole covers, and street lights for nighttime illumination – everything was incredibly reminiscent of his pre-crossing modern life environment.
However, there were no powerlines, power poles, or transformers.
The lighting here came from alchemy lamps. Built-in glowing alchemy runes steadily transformed the energy from coal into light and waste gases.
Similar alchemy household items included alchemy stoves, alchemy washing machines, and alchemy water kettles, and so on.
They all operated with alchemy arrays.
Comparing the products of alchemy civilization with those of information civilization, Noland Lee thought they each had their strengths and weaknesses.
As Noland Lee was swaying his head left and right, immersed in observing the alchemy society, the team stopped in front of a grand building.
Kent shouted as he got out of the car:
“Alright, mates, mission accomplished! As usual, those who need to rest, rest; those who need to go to the hospital, go. Tonight, we’ll meet at ‘Money and Good Dreams.’ I’ll bring the remuneration to the celebration dinner; it won’t be short of yours… Mark, you take care of the corpses and Spoils of War with your team. I’m going to report the task completion and talk to the boss. Fars, you can go to the alchemy workshop by yourself..”
