(Thanks to the Kunlun Sword's bloodshed and the support from the two Alliance Leaders, East Flow will be updated for the Alliance Leaders later)
Mingjing City is built centered around Mingjing Palace, comprising a total of ten concentric zones.
The classic planning of one ring after another also deprives Mingjing City of unique urban character.
However, Mingjing City currently has over three hundred million people and is one of the largest ten cities in East Continent.
The sprawling city scale and developed economy also fill Mingjing City with vitality and vigor.
As for city style or character, what is that?
The people of Mingjing City prefer to talk about money; having money ans having taste, style, and charisma.
Without money, one has nothing.
The frenzied pursuit of money seems to be deeply ingrained in the very nature of this ga-city.
So even call Mingjing City the City of Money.
Gao Xuan stands on a skyscraper's one hundred and twentieth floor, surveying the surroundings; everywhere are dazzling neon signs and virtual images, making the city appear extravagant yet chaotic.
Not far away, on the closed ring road, magnetic levitation rapid transit cars speed orderly back and forth. Robotic police are diligently directing traffic and handling various issues.
On the street below, people dressed in an assortnt of bizarre outfits wander freely, shouting unintelligible remarks.
The existence of intelligent machinery has phased out most low-level manual labor.
Ordinary people must exert twelve tis the effort to obtain a job.
Especially in a super tropolis like Mingjing City, competition is fiercely intense. Everyone bears imnse pressure.
Conversely, due to this pressure, everyone indulges excessively. At night, Mingjing City exudes a scent of lavish debauchery.
The pervasive lighting makes the entire tropolis sparkle, illuminating the night sky with a dark red hue.
Gao Xuan sees a special flying ship responsible for security patrol silently skimming overhead, trailing a long gray-white vapor.
Looking further up, you can even see the space fortress arranged in outer space near Pegasus Star.
From this vantage point, the space fortress resembles a particularly bright star, shining with a mysterious, bright dark blue glow.
"The view here is quite nice..."
Gao Xuan is quite satisfied with the fully transparent rooftop of the one hundred and twentieth floor; Xu Yin surely is wealthy, even a casual apartnt includes a rooftop observation deck.
On the rooftop, there's also a small swimming pool, twenty ters long and nine ters wide. The all-transparent glass pool adds a touch of natural serenity to the rooftop.
Yun Qingshang doesn't feel much about these; she just feels the city is too big, too vast.
Standing in the jungle made of steel and concrete, she feels very insecure.
Yun Qingshang still prefers the primal simplicity of the White Dragon Mountains.
"You seem not to like Mingjing City much."
Although Yun Qingshang shows no expression, Gao Xuan can read her subtle emotional changes.
Gao Xuan says, "Ultimately, humans are social animals, they must live with their kind. You're soone who doesn't like getting close to people, and that's an issue with your evolutionary path. It's actually a disease..."
Yun Qingshang pauses in silence and then says, "I saw a news report a few days ago about a 3.3-magnitude earthquake in the Beikun Icefield of Beiyang Province."
"Hahahaha..."
Gao Xuan laughs, "That's my nuclear bomb, triggered by them. Those unlucky kids."
Beikun Base is very large, and in order to eradicate all traces, Gao Xuan placed two low-yield nuclear bombs there.
These were weapons secretly held at Beikun Base, Zhou Lang's hidden treasure.
Gao Xuan set it up cleverly; as soon as soone intrudes into Beikun Base, the nuclear bombs explode.
Since this happened a few days ago, it proves the Blood God Association has discovered there's a problem at Beikun Base.
Gao Xuan knows Pegasus Star's Blood God Association well; despite being sly and cunning, even with the base destroyed, they lack the ability to find him.
He's planning to lay low for a while, and when he frees up ti, he'll slowly deal with the Blood God Association.
The Blood God Association is not only his enemy but also humanity's enemy.
The Human Alliance is very loosely ford. The true core of the Alliance consists of thousands of interstellar corporations.
Because these companies have strong interests, the Human Alliance barely holds together.
It could be said that humanity is entirely ruled by capital!
Fundantally, the Blood God Association is a huge company that spares nothing for profit.
But the Blood God Association completely disregards any rules, using extre ans for profit, turning into a terrifyingly twisted monstrosity.
Finally, in pursuit of profit, the Blood God Association turned against humanity, leading directly to humanity's extinction.
Just like Wang Hong'en's betrayal, it was actually instigated by the Blood God Association.
For personal and public reasons, Gao Xuan is determined to eradicate the Blood God Association.
Therefore, the more Blood God mbers die, the happier Gao Xuan is.
Yun Qingshang clearly struggles to understand Gao Xuan's thoughts; she hesitates to speak but ends up saying nothing.
"I know you have doubts."
Gao Xuan says calmly, "But you have to trust , everything I do has a reason."
Yun Qingshang pauses, then seriously says, "I trust you."
Gao Xuan pats Yun Qingshang's shoulder, "Young lady, you have good judgent and wisdom. I have high hopes for you."
He reassuringly adds, "Don't worry, following is the right path."
Yun Qingshang lowers her gaze slightly, thinking to herself, "Compared to you, right or wrong doesn't matter."
"Don't trouble yourself with the organization's matters."
Gao Xuan doesn't want to talk about these matters either; the issues with the Blood God Association are too complex and overwhelming.
He says, "Let's focus on making so money first. Do you have any ideas?"
Yun Qingshang also thinks it's the right thing to do; after all, borrowed money always needs to be repaid. Gao Xuan also needs to take her to university, and tuition and living expenses are quite a cost.
She thinks for a mont and says, "I saw a martial arts gym downstairs, I could work as a trainer."
As a Fifth-Level Source Power expert, Yun Qingshang would be more than sufficient to work as a coach at a small martial arts gym, which would also utilize her strengths.
"You don't like talking to people, being a coach requires constant interaction, it's troubleso. That's not suitable for you. I would be more appropriate."
Gao Xuan imdiately rejects Yun Qingshang's idea, saying, "I have a job that's quick to make money and suits you perfectly."
Yun Qingshang silently looks at Gao Xuan, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
"Why can't you cooperate by asking, give a little sense of accomplishnt."
Gao Xuan sighs in mild resignation and says, "It's being an assassin. How about it, it's your forte, right?"
Yun Qingshang frowns slightly; though trained as an assassin from a young age and unafraid to kill, she doesn't enjoy killing.
Gao Xuan suggesting she beco an assassin makes her sowhat resistant.
"Look at your little expression, there's so unwillingness after all..."
Gao Xuan says, "There are two oldest professions in humanity: selling laughter and selling life. Hmm, they are working people. Do you disdain working people? Working people are the most glorious!"
Yun Qingshang looks at Gao Xuan without speaking, yet her aning is clear: you can make up whatever.
"Alright, being an assassin is a bit la. Let's be assassins instead."
Gao Xuan smiles saying, "Being assassins has a much higher status; there's no problem with that, right?"
