Mingjing City is centered around Mingjing Palace, with a total of ten ring areas.

The classic planning of one ring within another also made the Ming capital lack urban characteristics.

However, Mingjing City currently has a population of more than 300 million and is one of the ten largest cities in Dongzhou.

The huge city scale and developed economy also make Mingjing City full of vitality.

As for the city’s style and characteristics, what are they

People in Mingjing City prefer to talk about money, because money means taste, style and temperament.

Without money, you have nothing.

The crazy pursuit of money is probably the character of this megacity deeply rooted in its bones.

Some people also call the Ming capital the capital of money.

Gao Xuan stood on the 120-story building and looked around. There were dazzling neon signs and virtual images everywhere. The city seemed ostentatious, noisy and chaotic.

On the closed ring road not far away, maglev express trains travelled in an orderly manner at high speed. Robot police officers were diligently directing traffic and handling various problems on the road.

On the streets below, people in all kinds of strange costumes wandered around casually, shouting meaningless things.

The existence of intelligent machines has eliminated most low-level manual labor.

Ordinary people have to work very hard if they want to get a job.

Especially in a megacity like Mingjing City, the competition is extremely fierce and everyone is under great pressure.

On the other hand, because of this pressure, everyone indulged themselves. The night in Mingjing City was filled with the smell of luxury, extravagance and debauchery.

The flashing lights everywhere make the whole city shine, illuminating the night sky with a dark red.

Gao Xuan saw a special flying ship responsible for security patrols, passing silently in the sky, dragging a long gray-white air wave behind it.

Looking up further, you can even see the space fortress deployed in outer space of Pegasus.

From this position, the space fortress looks like an extremely bright star, shining with a mysterious and bright deep blue luster.

“The view here is great…”

Gao Xuan was very satisfied with the fully transparent rooftop on the 120th floor. Xu Yin was indeed a rich person, as every house she owned had a rooftop viewing terrace.

There is also a small swimming pool on the rooftop, which is 20 meters long and 9 meters wide. The fully transparent glass swimming pool also adds a touch of natural comfort to the rooftop.

Yun Qingchang didn't feel anything about these things. She just felt that the city in front of her was too big and too vast.

Standing in the jungle built of steel and concrete, she felt very insecure.

Yun Qingchang still prefers the primitiveness, simplicity and honesty of the Bailong Mountains.

"You don't seem to like Mingjing City very much."

Although Yun Qingchang had no expression, Gao Xuan could read her subtle emotional changes.

Gao Xuan said: "Humans are social animals after all, and must live with their own kind. People like you who don't like to get close to people have evolved in the wrong direction. This is actually a disease..."

Yun Qingchang was silent for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I saw a news report saying that a 3.3 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Beikun Icefield in Beiyang Province."

"Ha ha ha ha… "

Gao Xuan laughed: "I was the one who planted the nuclear bomb, and they triggered it. What a bunch of unlucky kids."

The Beikun base is very large. In order to completely destroy all traces, Gao Xuan placed two low-yield nuclear bombs.

This is also a weapon privately stored in the Beikun base, and it is Zhou Lang’s most precious weapon.

Gao Xuan’s setting was very clever. As long as someone broke into the Beikun base, the nuclear bomb would be detonated.

Since it happened a few days ago, it proves that the Blood God Society has already discovered that something went wrong at the Beikun Base.

Gao Xuan knew the Blood God Society of Pegasus very well. Although these guys were insidious and cunning, their base had been destroyed and they still had not been able to find him.

He would lie in wait for a while, and when he had time, he would slowly deal with the Blood God Society.

The Blood God Society is not only his enemy, but also the enemy of all mankind.

The human alliance is a very loose political alliance. The real core of the alliance is thousands of super companies across galaxies.

The Human Alliance is barely able to stay together because of the strong profit demands of these companies.

It can be said that the entire human race is ruled by capital!

Fundamentally, the Blood God Society is a giant corporation that will do whatever it takes to pursue profits.

However, the Blood God Society does not abide by any rules at all. It will do anything for the sake of profit and has turned into a horrible and deformed monster.

In the end, the Blood God will devour the entire human race for his own benefit, directly leading to the extinction of humanity.

Just like Wang Hongen’s rebellion, it was actually the Blood God Society that pushed it behind the scenes.

For both personal and public reasons, Gao Xuan is determined to eradicate the Blood God Society.

Therefore, the more people from the Blood God Society died, the happier Gao Xuan was.

Yun Qingchang obviously found it difficult to understand Gao Xuan's thoughts. She wanted to say something but stopped herself and finally said nothing.

"I know you have questions."

Gao Xuan said calmly: "But you have to believe me, I have my reasons for everything I do."

Yun Qingchang was silent for a moment and then said seriously, "I believe you."

Gao Xuan patted Yun Qingchang on the shoulder and said, "Little girl, you have vision and wisdom. I am optimistic about you."

He then said in a big way: "Don't worry, it's okay to follow me."

Yun Qingchang lowered her eyes slightly, and she said to herself: "Compared to you, right or wrong is not important."

“Don’t worry about the organization.”

Gao Xuan didn't want to talk about this either. The affairs of the Blood God Society were too complicated and too depressing.

He said, "Let's think about making some money first. What do you think?"

Yun Qingchang also felt that this was a serious matter. After all, borrowed money must be repaid. Gao Xuan also had to take her to college, and tuition and living expenses were also a large expense.

She thought for a moment and said, "I saw a martial arts school down there. I could be a coach there."

As a fifth-level source power expert, Yun Qingchang is more than qualified to be a coach in a small martial arts school. This can also bring out her strengths.

"You don't like talking to people. Being a coach requires constant communication, which is very troublesome. This is not suitable for you. It's better for me to go."

Gao Xuan rejected Yun Qingchang's opinion on the spot. He said, "I have a job that makes money quickly and is suitable for you."

Yun Qingchang looked at Gao Xuan quietly, waiting for him to give the answer.

"Why can't you just cooperate and ask, and give me some sense of accomplishment."

Gao Xuan sighed helplessly and said, "Just be a killer. How about that? It's what you are best at, right?"

Yun Qingchang frowned slightly. Although she had received killer training since she was a child and was not afraid of killing, she did not like killing.

Gao Xuan asked her to be a killer, and she was somewhat resistant.

"Looking at your expression, you seem a little reluctant..."

Gao Xuan said: "There are two oldest professions in human history: selling smiles and selling lives. Well, they are all working people. Do you look down on working people? Working people are the most glorious!"

Yun Qingchang looked at Gao Xuan without saying anything, but her meaning was very clear: You can make up whatever you want.

"Well, being a killer is a bit frustrating. Let's just be assassins."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "The assassin's style is very high, so there's no problem with that, right?"
