Li Xia stretched, pulled over a recliner, and was about to continue reading and relax.

The smart device then beeped again.

Upon opening it, I immediately perked up.

The heading above clearly read "Head of Yuanxu".

The content states: "Upon assessment, the submitted evidence is true and of great significance to the reported matters."

According to the reward and punishment mechanism of the meta-leader, you will receive special rewards.

Please select two items from the following list.

Then came a series of lists.

Li Xia glanced at it and found that it included a wide variety of things, including the world's nine wings' proudest products and technologies.

But he lost interest in many things after just a glance. For example, what would he need an eco-farm for? Or what would he need a motorized motorcycle for? Wouldn't it be faster than a motorcycle?

What other androids are there, with customizable appearances and tailored to individual needs? What kind of android can keep up with the things in the halls of power?

As for smart devices, energy guns, and defensive gear, they are even less necessary.

Li Xia carefully searched the list, and the three little ones followed suit. Finally, their eyes fell on one item at the same time.

The Ring of Divine Preparation: (Blank)

It can hold a certain number of rule fragments and activate the power of the rules through the bracelet.

Note: Users must possess strength above the first critical point, and the bracelet cannot withstand too much rule power.

This is only an auxiliary device; overuse may lead to activation risks.

"There's one more thing, which one should we choose?"

After flipping through the list, Aowu found that apart from this thing, there was nothing else worth redeeming.

Li Xia chuckled, then checked "Divine Preparation Ring × 2" on the box and clicked submit.

After a few seconds, a notification popped up on the screen again: The submitted application has been approved and the goods will be picked up soon.

"Holy crap, this works!" Xiao Long exclaimed in disbelief.

"Why not? There's no limit on the number."

A short while later, a small transport plane landed silently in front of us.

A figure carrying a box and completely encased in armor walked up, knocked on the door to verify his identity, placed the box in Li Xia's hands, and then silently turned around, boarded the transport plane, and disappeared into the sky.

"This efficiency is inhuman..."

Li Xia placed the box on the table and opened it while rubbing his hands together.

Two beautiful, bracelet-like objects lay quietly inside the alloy box.

Li Xia picked up the bracelet and discovered that it was composed of a peculiar metal and polymer material, with dense and regular patterns on it.

It looks just like a circuit board at first glance, but its pattern is much more complex than that of a circuit board.

A notification from the Hall of Light also popped up.

Previously, it was just a brief introduction given by the leader of the Primal Order, but this time it was the equipment panel provided by the Hall of Light.

【The Ring of Divine Preparation】

[Grade: Pale Gold]

【Category: Jewelry - Exterior Clothing】

[Origin: Extreme Evil, Primal World, Dark Beast World]

【Durability: 200/220】

[Equipment Requirements: 60 points in Physique, 60 points in Intelligence, 60 points in Spirit, and Willpower rank greater than 4]

Divine Equipment: Can contain low-level rule fragments, and its contained power can be invoked through the bracelet.

Activation: When you equip this bracelet, you can resonate emotionally with it. When the resonance intensity reaches a certain level, the bracelet will be activated.

At this point, multiple checks will be performed. If the check fails to meet the rules for possession within the bracelet, the wearer will be occupied, and the apostle will be considered dead.

[Introduction: A gadget that attempts to transform intangible rules into concrete forms for control.]

While convenient, it also carries certain risks. If you lack the confidence to handle it, then leave it far away.

What are "lower rule fragments"?

He had obtained fragments before, but this "fragment" sounded like a very small amount.

Li Xia looked at the bracelet, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

However, its specific function is similar to what is shown: it contains rules, and after equipping it, you can use these rules to assist yourself.

This rule has some significance. Although an avatar can accommodate rules, based on the information I have gathered, an avatar should only be able to accommodate one rule at a time.

These two bracelets are like an expansion, even if they're just fragments, they should still be useful, right?

In addition, there is a bit of danger.

Looking at the activated line, Li Xia noticed that it seemed somewhat similar to the second critical point that Cang Lan and the others had told him about.

In other words, when the divine armor is activated and the emotional connection reaches a critical point, it will be overwhelmed by the rules inherent within it.

Invisible rules, tangible form... the body is controlled by the rules...

Li Xia, who was watching from below, fell into deep thought.

He suddenly remembered that both the tuner and the team members following behind him seemed to be wearing rings on their hands.

And the number varies. Some are like tuners, with five rings on each arm, for a total of ten rings. Doesn't that mean they can borrow the power of ten rules?

Going a step further, a chilling thought suddenly surfaced in Li Xia's mind: were the tuners and those people really human?

Is it the body of rules after the Divine Ring has been fully activated?

Chapter 24 Methods for Breaking Through the Second Round Critical Point

Li Xia noticed that the whole world seemed to have suddenly become calm.

Nothing happened, nothing went wrong, everything was quiet as if nothing had ever occurred.

After receiving the information from Julia, the leader of the Yuanxu sect did not take any further action.

The three hunters from the Hunter's Guild waited in fear at headquarters for questioning from the leader of the Primordial Order, unable to eat or drink.

He was distracted every day, but as he waited and waited, he still didn't contact them.

They were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Therefore, when Li Xia was wandering around the back alley, he discovered that these three people actually had the leisure to act as supervisors in the back alley.

That's a significant difference.

"Yo, Darkflame!"

Canglan waved hello, then stood with his hands behind his back, watching with a smug look as an extremely simple tenement building rose from the ground.

These tenement buildings are not unique to one world. If the goal is to save resources and achieve the highest living density, then tenement buildings are almost a must.

"Look, this is our newly prepared residential area!"

Pointing to the seven-story tenement building, An Ye said with a sense of pride:

"Next, we're going to fill the entire back alley with these kinds of buildings!"

Although tenement buildings are cramped, crowded, and poorly soundproofed, they have all sorts of drawbacks.

But for homeless people, what's the difference between this and a mansion?

"Give it away for free? Where does your funding come from?"

Li Xia raised an eyebrow, her question hitting the nail on the head.

Azure's face stiffened, and he shook his head:

"These buildings serve as a verification measure; Jinzi, Emerald, and I each contributed our own funds..."

He hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Jin Zi wants to arrange it for everyone, but that's impossible."

She had a deep affection for the back alley and most wanted to see it improve.

Azure beckoned Li Xia to head towards the Hunter's Guild, and whispered:

"The problem now is that many migrants have no survival skills at all; their minds have become numb."

Having lost the ability to learn, they can only huddle in their shacks every day waiting for food to be distributed.

In a sense, they are no different from domesticated livestock...

That's true. Many things can only be learned in childhood, such as language. If you miss this stage, it becomes very difficult to learn them later.

Living a muddled and aimless life until adulthood is truly a waste of life.

"So our idea is to let these people live like this, and to ensure that their living supplies are distributed on time."

If they have offspring, they are taken away and sent to the welfare home run by the Hunter's Guild.

They will be raised in intensive care units and taught survival skills.

Azure described his plan, knowing that the current back alley was built on whose foundation it was, without Dark Flame and his fearsome reputation.

Who knows what kind of obstacles the back alley incident might cause?

"As for the homeless who are unwilling to rot here, we will open up their right to live in the building and provide loans with almost no interest."

The stay can be long, with the first year of free accommodation and training in survival skills.

Azure pointed to this vast land, her eyes seemingly shining, and said with great interest:

“This kind of building will save a lot of land, and I want to open a factory on the vacated land.”

For example, dense cellar factories using hydroponics, or factories that produce simple clothing and utensils.

It can even make some less-than-smart home appliances and furniture...

Li Xia looked at this titled hunter who had already reached the pinnacle of the world, watching him eloquently explain his plan to pull these people living in the mud out of their misery.

He really loves back alleys.

No matter how the world changes, there always seem to be some people who never give up hope.

"...That's pretty much it. As long as we can set up factories and let them receive their wages, even if it's just a little, we can get this system running slowly."

Once you do the first step well, things will gradually get better and better!

Darkflame, what do you think?

"That's good, keep up the good work."

Li Xia nodded with his hands behind his back.

"I have a request...it might be difficult..."

As the two passed by the newly built kindergarten, Li Xia was surprised to hear laughter for the first time in the back alley area.

It wasn't the kind of arrogant laughter, nor was it the kind of laughter with other meanings.

It was just that kind of pure, happy laughter, without anything mixed up with it.

It was a group of children playing on a roughly leveled piece of land, with only simple play equipment around them.

The laughter seemed to have a unique attraction, and the surrounding refugees rushed out of their shacks, raising their heads for the first time to peek into their dilapidated shelters.

They craned their necks and strained to look in this direction.

They didn't try to get closer; they just stood there silently, watching without moving.

Round and round it went, and something indescribable seemed to have appeared on his numb face.

As the laughter echoed far and wide, more and more people stood silently listening to it.
