Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 510 Starting from the Cyber ​​Apocalypse

"World Four has been completely wiped out."

In the shared space.

After the seed program was launched.

In the fourth world, Li Zhongren encountered a crisis and immediately activated the rapid response system.

Currently, with the help of the rapid reaction force led by Li Huoying, a counterattack has been launched.

Li Zhongren of World No. 4 has returned to his slumber within the outer shell of the body.
"You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

"Okay."

Li Huoying shrugged.

"We encountered a superhero from another world? Or rather, Homelander. He had some power, but not much. We've already taken care of him."

"OK, then, activate Seed World Five."

The cyberpunk world, in its very essence, does not exist.

If the level of technology is advanced enough, then the role of the lower class as laborers will no longer be a necessity. Eventually, the phenomenon of the ultimate producer may occur, where all the world's resources are concentrated in the hands of a single person or group. This person or group will use these resources to complete the final leap in civilization and become a higher-level civilization, instead of remaining in the same place and playing house with the powerless lower class.

And the goal is to make the cyberpunk world conform to the rules.

But there must be a prerequisite.

In other words, the world's technology was once very advanced, but in the war that gave birth to the final producers, no one won, and all forces suffered devastating blows, resulting in the loss and regression of technology, talent, equipment, and the like.

A post-apocalyptic era, relying on legacy technology, has transformed into a distorted civilization.

Only then could a cyberpunk world, where corporations control everything, be created.

Because this country was destroyed, and the era of corporations reigning supreme began.

A company, as a profit-driven organization, will not easily develop projects that are not profitable.

The United States in the past can clearly prove everything. Some of their industries were extremely advanced, but many others were very backward. Was it because they lacked the ability?

No, it's that I don't want to.

Because there is no profit to be made, and it may even result in the loss of current benefits.

Therefore, these companies themselves are the biggest obstacle to development.

The upper class possesses absolute power, yet they cannot exist without the labor force at the bottom.

This ultimately led to the distortion of technology.

This became the so-called cyberpunk world.

Wealth and poverty, order and chaos—everything, in the final analysis, must serve the company's interests.

Li Zhongren stood on the rooftop, looking into the distance.

A luxurious town, the most luxurious place, like a metropolis, yet all around the town are ruins, garbage dumps, and slums.

This is the post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world he described.

The civilization of this world was built on the ruins after World War III.

Some technologies are so advanced that they have no equal, such as prosthetic bodies, and even superpowers.

However, the lack of many technologies has led to an unstable foundation.

The inability of people in this world to cope with the post-apocalyptic world and the terrible environmental pollution outside the city has made this post-apocalyptic world resemble a lame giant.

They can only struggle in the mud.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with him.

After all, he had only been in this world for a few hours.

His soul had been drifting in the void for countless years before finally descending into this world with the help of the shared space.

They even rebuilt his body.

This is thanks to Li Zhongren's gains in World No. 4.

Thus, starting with him, the cheat for sharing space could come with a physical body.

In this way, he wouldn't have to live in someone else's body; after all, there's no place like home.

Of course, the trade-off is that integrating into this world will be a bit more difficult.

However, for him, who possesses power, this is not a problem.

Especially in this post-apocalyptic era, there is no household registration system at all. People like him are at most called outsiders or people from afar.

"Whoosh~"

Li Zhongren jumped lightly.

He jumped straight off the roof.

The moment it landed, it hovered in place, and then the airflow around its body impacted the ground, forming a huge tail that blew in all directions.

Fortunately, the town's architecture was almost entirely haphazard, with various buildings overlapping each other, and since it was nighttime, no one noticed him.

This was his cheat code: the superhuman-like being he defeated at the end of World Four.

The entire power system was dug out by the divine tree and then transferred to him.

how to say.

He has almost everything that Superman has.

Superman doesn't have it, but it does.

For example, it's not afraid of stones or anything like that.

As time goes by, he can continuously grow stronger and stronger by basking in the sun.
All I can say is that Li Zhongren of World Four was very decisive, calling for support immediately. Otherwise, there would have been no way to deal with this thing. At the same time, the Central Plains Dynasty of World Four was also very lucky. If it weren't for his counterpart from that world, the entire world would probably have ended up being ruled by this guy.
Of course, to be honest, it feels really cool to be Superman.

Li Zhongren took a deep breath. There was a strange, sweet smell in the air. But it wasn't the air itself that smelled sweet. In the distance, a few people who looked like thugs were smoking something, and the smell was coming from them. It was obvious that it wasn't anything good.

Then, Li Zhongren looked around.

It can only be said that it perfectly matches his stereotypical image of a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world.

Neon lights, dense buildings, graffiti everywhere, wandering people, and flying vehicles occasionally streaking across the sky.
And
acid rain
As a superhuman from a parallel world, Li Zhongren's senses, including intuition, far surpass those of humans.

Therefore, he could easily analyze that the raindrops falling when the sky suddenly became overcast and it suddenly started raining were acid rain.

The reason is simple: it's still the lingering effects of World War III.
"Everything is pretty bad, but for some reason, I like it."

Li Zhongren thought this to himself, but quickly gave his answer.

This world is a world of exploitation.

Most people hate this kind of world because they are the ones being exploited, but what if you are the exploiter?

Li Zhongren knew very well that he didn't know how strong he was, but in this world, he was strong enough to protect himself. Not many people could exploit him. To a certain extent, he could even go without beef in this world. Naturally, the beastly nature hidden in his heart would be revealed.

You'll naturally feel that the world is great.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

He is a human being.

In his past life, he had seen similar posts: What would you do if you became a superman without any weaknesses?

Many netizens' answers were hilarious.

Day 1, I am Superman.

The next day, fucked someone
On the third day, I did not eat beef.
There are many similar answers.

This is human nature. The history of the Central Plains dynasties over the past five thousand years is enough to prove that unrestrained power will inevitably breed unrestrained and arbitrary behavior.

However, many netizens' responses were heartwarming.

Whether it's true or not, at least he thought about it that way.

The same applies to oneself.

Although he had no sense of belonging to this world and was a stranger in a foreign land, we are all human beings after all. Why should we bully ordinary people who are trying their best to live?
He even thought he would become a chivalrous knight-errant.

"Tsk, tsk."

"What a hero!" Stepping out of the dark alley, Li Zhongren's vision suddenly opened up.

Neon lights are flashing and the lights are bright.

"Hey buddy, wanna go have some fun?"

The call girls, sheltering from the rain under one side of the eaves, looked at Li Zhongren and waved to him with smiles.

Li Zhongren simply smiled at the other person and continued walking forward.

He could understand; in fact, with the abilities of this body, he could easily learn some basic memory functions.

For example, language.

With super hearing coverage, a large number of samples are collected to match the behavior of the other party.

Soon, he learned the language of this world.

Or rather, it's the language of this city.

It's similar to English, but also somewhat different.

Moreover, looking around, some shops even had square-like characters on their facades.

But that's normal. It's obvious that this is just a parallel world similar to the real world.

chip seller
Selling medicine.
Weapon seller
Selling prosthetic bodies
Along the neon-lit street, Li Zhongren glanced at the shops on either side. Although most of the items here were of little use to him, he still found them fascinating. After all, this was the first time he had ever seen such things in both his past and present lives.

Finally, he stopped in front of a food shop; he hadn't eaten in a long time.

This is a roadside shop.

It has an open-plan structure, but each shop has its own storefront.

There is a raised platform and a sewer at the entrance, and the acid rain outside flows away along the sewer.

"Welcome! What would you like to eat?"

The shop owner was a long-haired man who looked to be in his thirties.

Wearing an apron, they were skewering meat, and a sign on the wall said they were open 24 hours.

"Is there a menu?"

"Yes, here."

Li Zhongren sat down at the bar.

Across from the bar, the owner was grilling skewers, the aroma of meat wafting into his nostrils. It felt good, wonderful, and comforting.
"Twenty meat skewers, a dozen of these, a Flaming Beer, and a bowl of ramen, please."

"Okay, customer, that'll be three hundred and forty-two coins in total."

"Give."

Li Zhongren took out cash from his pocket.

He got this from those thugs. In this post-cyber world, electronic transactions are possible, but cash has never disappeared. After all, for gangster transactions, cash is still safer.

Behind the bar, a television was playing a program from this world. It looked like a TV series, and although it was disjointed, Li Zhongren was completely engrossed in it. After all, he had been lonely for too long, and everything he watched made him happy.

"Customer, your food."

About fifteen minutes later, ramen, grilled skewers, and beer were delivered to him.

Li Zhongren picked up a skewer and took a big bite.

"It's vegetarian meat."

Vegetarian meat is meat made from artificial ingredients.

"Haha, customer."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner smiled.

"If it's meat, the cash you need to pay will probably increase by a zero."

"Too."

In the post-apocalyptic era, the outside environment is extremely harsh, and most humans live in crowded cities. Farming is almost a luxury. As a result, real meat, real grain, and real vegetables that ordinary people used to be able to eat have long become luxuries.

Nowadays, most people eat industrially synthesized food.

Of course, it tastes pretty good, but it can't compare to real meat.

"Do you have any real meat here?"

"No, customer."

The boss shrugged.

"It's too expensive, not many people will buy it, and if we can't sell it, we'll lose a fortune."

"Yes... the beer tastes good."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out in the street.

It appears to be a fight between two groups.

Li Zhongren ate his kebabs while watching the people on the street calmly looking for cover. Some of them even had mobile phones or other tools with them.

He seemed quite indifferent.

The owner behind the bar is one of them.

They're still there, chained up.

"By the way, aren't you scared?"

"This is how it is every day in Dogtown."

The owner said with a smile, then patted the oven in front of him.

"This thing is bulletproof. I'm the safest person here if I stay hidden and don't move. But you, sir, are really something. You're sitting here without moving at all, not afraid at all. You must be an adventurer."

"Ah."

Li Zhongren did not deny it.

Adventurers are essentially mercenaries or similar roles in this world.

Doing missions, traveling to different cities, or even exploring the wilderness.

Ordinary firearms are useless against skilled adventurers.

Is there a place here to accept missions?

"A mission."

"This area is Wakako's territory. You have to go through her to accept any adventure quests here. If you want to accept a quest, you can go find Wakako. She is in the largest pachinko shop. She is easy to find."

"Thank you."

After having his first meal after being reborn, Li Zhongren left the shop and continued his stroll.

The sky grew increasingly gloomy.

The sky is no longer visible.

However, aside from the high penetrability of neon lights, they actually give people a hazy feeling.

"This is it."

Li Zhongren searched and arrived at the pachinko shop mentioned by the shop owner. It was a huge shop filled with pachinko machines and tables. Clearly, although it was called a pachinko shop, it was actually a casino.

"welcome."

At the doorway, a beautiful woman dressed in a similar kimono bowed and spoke.

"I am an adventurer, and I want to take on a quest."

The saying goes, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake." Li Zhongren wanted to be a chivalrous hero, but he didn't want to be someone else's pawn. So, the first thing he needed to do was to gain a deeper understanding of the world.

For example, start by becoming an adventurer.
