Though he was reluctant deep down, Ren Zhong still packed up his belongings and left Starfire Town that very day, boarding the fast spaceship provided by Ying Hao, heading straight for Lower Origin Capital City.
Ren Zhong originally planned to take his own airship, but Ying Hao implied that things weren't as simple as he thought.
Rumor had it that after returning to ngdu City, Hugh Augustus flew into a rage, initiating a costly research project that quickly mass-produced a number of Level Eight Armored Soldiers, and used quite a few Anti-aging Potions to purchase the rights for three frozen Level Nine Armored Soldiers from the Association.
Augustus's intentions were obvious, he sought revenge.
Ying Hao's arrangents were reasonable, and Ren Zhong followed the advice smoothly.
At three in the afternoon that day, Ren Zhong's spaceship landed in a dock in Lower Origin Capital City.
Ren Zhong, dressed in casual attire, walked down the steps and looked back.
The large box containing the Red Blade Armor was being handled by two staff mbers using a transport vehicle.
This item would be directly sent to his villa in Lower Origin Capital City for safekeeping.
If Ren Zhong wanted to use it, he would first need to send an application via his wrist watch to the city's Ard Managent Departnt.
The departnt would review whether his application was reasonable to determine if he had the qualifications to use weapons.
Once the application was approved, he could open the box and don the equipnt within the city.
As the capital of Source Star, it wasn't surprising that this place had a weapon ban, and Ren Zhong had no objections.
The villa was provided by the Association and wasn't purchased at his own expense. The location was decent, within the third ring of Lower Origin Capital City, approximately twenty kiloters in a straight line from the Space Elevator.
This wasn't Ren Zhong's first ti coming to Lower Origin Capital City.
In fact, when he ca to serve his sentence, he had already gazed distantly upon this enormous city from the mountain top of the Second Prison.
Lower Origin Capital City is located in the equatorial region of the Third Continent, with relatively flat terrain, a massive city over a hundred kiloters in diater, covered by a vast do.
Situated on the equator and near the sea, its climate should naturally be hot and humid, uncomfortable for people.
Yet, upon entering the city area, Ren Zhong found it refreshingly autumnal, cool, and comfortable.
He looked up at the sky, at the vaguely visible high-performance do.
Under the do's isolation, coupled with large-scale climate control equipnt, the temperature in Lower Origin Capital City was maintained at around 20 degrees Celsius year-round, with suitable humidity, making it highly livable.
Ren Zhong checked the ti; the Association liaison was scheduled to et him in two hours, so for now, he could head to the villa on his own.
Sitting on the leather sofa in the enclosed automatic shuttle, he then input the address via voice, crossed his legs, leaned back, and let the vehicle take him forward.
With just this, he felt the changes of the era.
Previously, when the "net" was available, all these actions required no words, as intelligent devices read brainwaves to complete them.
Now, although modified wrist watches can still read brainwaves, considering not everyone can get a modified wrist watch, input thods have regressed to accommodate more scenarios.
As he traveled, Ren Zhong observed every little detail of this massive city.
Unlike the hell on earth in towns and so counties outside, this city remained peaceful, with no signs of chaos.
The pedestrians on the streets remained leisurely.
The entertainnt districts were still vibrant and bustling with activity.
The goods in the comrcial areas were still plentiful.
In the parks, there were still people of all ages relaxing and playing with ease.
In the spacious and interconnected aerial transit network, various aesthetically pleasing and highly personalized private vehicles could still be seen flying steadily.
Ren Zhong could only tell from a few buildings with unsuitable heights that there had been so chaos here.
It was likely due to the mont of the "net" cut-off when so floating buildings fell, causing damage. After rapid reconstruction, these buildings did not fully restore their original golden ratio visual layout.
If he weren't sitting in a floating shuttle, or wearing a wrist watch on his hand, or seeing the towering Space Elevator and the highly futuristic buildings, Ren Zhong might have thought he had returned to a 21st-century dostic city.
Comparing it to his observations from a while ago, he sighed softly. Indeed, these were two completely different worlds.
About twenty minutes later, he arrived at his villa.
From a distance, this villa, which occupies an area of about ten acres, was unexpectedly in the style of a Suzhou garden.
