Chapter 1067: Chapter 781: The Rest Is Left for Those Destined

After arriving at Hazy City, Du Gang realized he had overthought things. But as the saying goes, since I’m already here, it wouldn’t be worthwhile to go back immediately. I might as well experience more of this place.

In a world filled with an overwhelming number of Phenomena, where new Phenomena appear daily, Du Gang had never seen anything like it.

"Actually, there aren’t any big problems here anymore. Since you’ve come, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Not to mention anything else, you haven’t seen many places filled with Phenomena, have you?"

Du Gang shook his head: "It’s not that I haven’t seen many, but that I have never seen any. I’ve only heard you talk about how special this place is. It’s a shame that..."

Du Gang expressed some regret, not because he regretted only now coming to such a place, but because he felt it was a pity this world would be doomed a long time after it had been balanced by the Equilibrists.

Moreover, as the environment becomes more powerful, even if Zheng Yichen suppresses the distortions in Hazy City, the sheer number of Phenomena means that some difficult entities are bound to come here. The appearance of beings that have mastered special malevolent arts can bring huge trouble to this place.

This place is doomed never to have long-term peace and stability.

"There’s not much you can do about an Equilibrist, just try to focus on the positives," Zheng Yichen said with a hint of helplessness.

Du Gang shook his head; the strengthening of the environment has its good and bad sides.

The problem is that the strength brought by balance leads to the world’s resources falling behind in intensity.

If the resources for weapons and equipment are not strong enough, the items produced will be inferior. The same goes for cultivation resources. His world has many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which are very effective when made into medicine.

What about Misty City World? The plants are also strengthened by the balance, but this takes much longer than it does for people.

Therefore, even if the cultivation resources are balanced and change quickly, there will still be a period of at least several decades of void in this aspect in this world... As a result, after the Phenomenon invasions, the resistance forces here will be even more passive.

"I need to get going, see you in a bit." Du Gang looked at the arriving rideshare car and hung up the call.

On Zheng Yichen’s end, he scraped his hand over a metal plate, removing the grime, revealing densely packed patterns somewhat akin to an integrated circuit board.

Lilith scanned and said, "BOSS, this item is likely a civilization design schematic."

"Civilization design schematic?" Zheng Yichen tapped the shield-sized metal plate. The material used for this object was impeccable; having been submerged in the lake for so long, it showed no signs of rust after cleaning off the grime.

A testament to its incredible durability and strength.

"The patterns on it can be combined in many ways, each combination is a design for an industrial mother machine. I also scanned related interfaces. With adequate power, we could further decrypt it," she explained.

This object had no energy storage, possibly to prevent it from being tracked or perhaps because it had lain at the bottom of the lake for too long and its energy had completely depleted.

But after Lilith determined its value, this thing...

Zheng Yichen scratched his head, wondering what use it could have for him, especially after Lilith pulled up more than a dozen industrial mother machine designs. He asked, "How advanced is the technology?"

"It’s a bit more advanced than my original world."

"That’s not bad," Zheng Yichen nodded. Lilith’s original world was already impressive in terms of technological development, so if this object’s contained technology surpassed her world, it meant it was even more advanced than Hazy City World.

Once personal strength reaches a certain level, if technology does not rival the level of magic, it can easily be overpowered by individuals with immense combat strength.

However, once the level of technology reaches a certain threshold, the ’technological difference’ between parties starts to matter. With roughly equal strength, technology can provide an additional edge.

After all, with the advancement of technology, soldiers can be easily mass-produced, but cultivating a supremely powerful existence with Immortality Cultivation or Magic is not something that can be done just by making a trip to the production line.

On one side, you can fight ten, but the technological side, with its super strong productivity, can churn out twenty soldiers for you to go and fight with.

I just got in touch with Du Gang, and after that, treasure hunting became less pure. After some random searching and finding some eye-catching items, Du Gang’s call came through.

"Not hunting for treasure anymore?"

Tanshia Firlo still seemed to want more.

"Let’s not look for now. We’ll leave those small fish and shrimps for someone with fate," Zheng Yichen said as he led Tanshia Firlo towards the surface, with Lilith’s projection camouflage support. When they emerged, they didn’t draw any attention and easily blended in with the beach-going crowd.

At this time, the sun was still strong, and among the tourists, Zheng Yichen saw Du Gang with his bronze skin and robust muscles. Wearing a pair of swim trunks, he stood there like a sturdy bronze statue.

Standing there, he attracted not only the gazes of the opposite sex but also those of the same sex. Some fitness enthusiasts couldn’t help but strike up a conversation, wanting to pose and take pictures together.

In everyday situations, Du Gang behaved quite amicably, indulging in photo-taking, well, he was already dressed in swimwear after all.

Looking at North Lake shrouded in mist, Du Gang grinned at the approaching Zheng Yichen and asked, "Is everyone here so brave?"

He refused to believe the people of Hazy City were unaware of Hazy City’s situation. Moreover, the mist here was not light. Even playing by the lake had its risks, yet the number of people doing so was not small at all.

"That’s the characteristic of Hazy City. How else would you handle it? Just go about your day as usual. Anyway, not many people think they will be that unlucky," Zheng Yichen said with a laugh.

Without Lilith’s projection interference, the two gentlemen standing here attracted even more attention.

"Indeed." Du Gang nodded, smilingly declined another photo request. There was no need to waste time here since Zheng Yichen had arrived. He pointed towards a nearby stall and suggested, "Shall we chat over there?"

"Let’s go, let’s go," agreed Zheng Yichen instantly.

Licking her lips, Tanshia Firlo said, "I’m hungry."

"You can have a drink later," Zheng Yichen saw through the small white dragon’s desire right away. He couldn’t possibly let Tanshia Firlo drink alcohol out here, not with so many people around, and the uninformed might even think he was leading a child astray.

The small white dragon immediately showed a disappointed expression.

"This child..." Seeing Tanshia Firlo’s reaction, Du Gang couldn’t help but chuckle, saying nothing more.

Dragons are not humans; if they like to drink, let them drink. Besides, Tanshia Firlo wasn’t causing trouble, so as long as she was obedient, that was fine.

Sitting next to a small stall, Zheng Yichen picked out a good number of barbecues from the menu. While waiting, he also bought some drinks and handed a bottle of milk to Tanshia Firlo.

The small white dragon looked at the beverage in her hands, her expression indifferent and unmoved.

"How was the treasure hunt?" Knowing that Zheng Yichen’s place of living wasn’t subject to environmental pressure, Du Gang skipped the mundane matters and brought up a casual topic for conversation.

Discuss Hazy City’s safety? No need for that anymore.
