I can travel to the past and the future
Chapter 40: Strange
"Huh? There are three more rules?" Hu Tu was taken aback. "And it has to be the main city, hahaha."
He and Qin Xue were both quite curious, and Qiao Yuan was also watching, but Yan Baobao was the only one who wasn't interested.
[The first rule of the main city: Credit system, starting with 100 points. Various negative impacts, such as being detained by Embers, being wanted, fined, publicly criticized by schools or companies, or being reported with confirmed facts, will lower your credit score depending on the severity of the event.]
Similarly, in schools, companies, and other organizations, one can improve their credit score through any legal means, such as academics, assignments, work, challenges, and competitions.
[If your credit score is below 60, you will be sent to a non-police zone in the fourth major city.]
[When your credit score is above 260, you can travel to the third main city (except for admitted students)]
[Working in the main city and visiting certain buildings or locations, such as the Noble Opera House, charity dinners, members-only restaurants, high-level federal departments, the Ascended Society, the Time Watch Bureau, and the Mega Corporation Competition, all require a certain amount of credit.]
The purpose of the credit system is to select the best and strongest individuals, but maintaining a normal credit score will not affect life in the main city.
[Specific credit guidelines can be viewed by copying the biometric DNA code and projecting it onto the retina or other devices.]
The voice of the black-haired, high-nosed Eastern woman, along with the words appearing on the projector next to her, gradually made Qiao Yuan understand. At that moment, they all reached out and placed their hands on the conference table to copy data.
"What is this?" Qiao Yuan was quickly stunned.
Hu Tu and Qin Xue exchanged glances, their eyes revealing surprise and intense astonishment.
This credit score data, to be precise, is not information, but a program.
And this is not a third-party program, but their native program based on biological DNA code!
To put it simply, it already exists; every federal citizen has a credit history from birth.
But the people outside the city were castrated at birth, so now it's like they've been made up for.
The sole purpose of this program is to synchronize and refresh your credit score in real time, allowing you to view it on your retina at any time, and also display it on your wrist!
The blue numbers resemble veins.
According to the holographic woman's explanation, he finally understood that this transformation was driven by the bioelectricity of human cells and combined with the sublimation of the magic potion, truly applying biotechnology.
That's awesome!
In addition to credit visibility, the fully-fledged biological DNA code can now connect to all biotechnology within the main city, including health testing, blood analysis, and intelligent binding.
And most importantly, it can trigger the unique high-altitude fall detection system in the main city.
Simply put, if you fall off the edge of a floating structure, you will be pulled in by a gravity device below the structure, preventing you from falling to your death.
But it seems you have to pay for a membership to access it.
Hu Tu, seemingly lost in thought, spoke up: "So, you mean? Anyone whose credit score is visible under the skin of their wrist is an Ascended Being?"
Qin Xue said with great interest, "It should be. The data mentioned the catalysis of the magic potion."
"Wow, this is so cool. If the stats are really high, it'll probably look really cool, hehe." Hu Tu was already starting to imagine what might happen next.
At that time, Yan Baobao also made a copy, which was rare for her to be on the same starting line as them.
But Qiao Yuan knew very well that Bao Bao would soon widen the gap and leave everyone else in the dust.
With that thought in mind, his thoughts turned to capturing Caesar. Tsk tsk, wouldn't that cause a huge profit?
There's also the entrance exam for Galaxy University tomorrow, and his top ranking will inevitably be linked to his credit score, but it's estimated that he won't get a chance.
He suddenly developed a liking for this credit score.
That's interesting, very interesting.
Going forward, by cooperating with him to seize the initiative and leveraging his all-knowing abilities, catching up with the baby will be a breeze.
At that moment, the holographic woman continued speaking:
[Second Rule for Main Cities: It is recommended to choose safe areas within the major cities whenever possible. If you enter non-safe areas, you will not be held responsible for any consequences.]
[The Third Rule of the Main City: Smuggling and trade with those outside the city are strictly prohibited, as is assisting with illegal border crossings, even for your own parents. Violators will face a minimum sentence of three years imprisonment, up to and including the death penalty.]
Qiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, not too surprised. The differences between the main city and the outside world had long been solidified. Fortunately, he had no parents, so he didn't need to care about these things.
Hu Tu and Qin Xue will need to adapt, which is somewhat expected, but they still have something to worry about.
The baby remained silent throughout, simply gazing at the magnificent and vast main city...
No, Qiao Yuan glanced at her and realized that the baby's eyes were looking at a bright and distant space, far beyond the main city, a vast and boundless universe.
He cared more about the main city, because the area outside the city where he used to live was just too awful.
The second rule of the main city just mentioned non-police areas and police areas. He remembered that when he asked Hu Tu to help him investigate the Rodel Assassin Hotel, it was mentioned that it was in a non-police area.
Qiao Yuan simply asked a question.
The holographic woman then smiled and said, "As the name suggests, non-police zones are places without order. They are mainly concentrated in the fourth main city, accounting for no more than 15% of the total area. The third main city you are going to has a very small proportion of non-police zones, no more than 10%."
He finally understood.
Hu Tu then asked, "Are the four main cities divided entirely according to altitude?"
"That's right, the fourth main city occupies four to five thousand meters, the third main city starts at six thousand meters, and the second main city begins at ten thousand meters..."
Hu Tu gasped in shock: "Holy crap, the second main city is already 10,000 meters? So the rumors about the main city being 20,000 meters are true."
Qiao Yuan also remembered that his homeroom teacher once mentioned that the higher up you go in Silvermoon City, the lower the density of the floating buildings becomes, and they gradually become scattered.
However, he had never seen it, because above four or five thousand meters, it was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and ten thousand meters was like a heavenly palace, unreachable.
Even at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, Huanxizhou is occasionally obscured by fog, limiting visibility.
The holographic woman just mentioned that it takes 260 credits to go to the third main city, so the higher the location, the stricter the credit requirements must be.
Looking at it this way, it's clear that their admission to Galaxy University truly represents a leap in social class.
At this moment, the Ember Floating Vehicle had been granted permission to enter the main city and slowly drove into the Silver Ring.
In the blink of an eye, both cars were submerged in the colorful neon lights of the Fourth Main City, like plunging into an ocean of light, where noise filled the air.
The night scene was much more vibrant than that of Huanxizhou, with people chatting and laughing on the streets, unlike the people outside the city who looked numb and like walking corpses.
Between the floating structures, orange clownfish-like holographic projections, pale blue Kunpengs stretching for kilometers, smiling female celebrities' portraits, or sizzling dancers, layer upon layer, crowd the field of vision, too numerous to take in at a glance.
They are now weaving through a dense stream of floating vehicles, like a school of fish, as if they have entered a dream.
The architectural styles seen in the fourth main city are all very avant-garde, with most buildings using materials such as glass, brass, gold plating, and silver plating for their exterior walls, presenting a strong retro-futuristic atmosphere.
Many areas feature authentic atomic punk style, full of streamlined textures.
Like the hourglass-shaped stadium in front of us, which is more than one kilometer in diameter, the walls are covered with artificial crystals, shimmering with a silvery, fish-scale-like brilliance.
The upper part of the funnel is a lush, open-air football field, with shouts rising and falling, and players sweating it out as the score remains close. There are an estimated tens of thousands of spectators surrounding the field.
The inverted triangle area below is a magnificent public square, where a 100-meter-tall holographic red-haired songstress sings loudly, and pedestrians throng the area.
The towering rooftop garden on the right was also unique. Upon closer inspection, Qiao Yuan realized that it was actually a multi-tiered, simulated natural zoo.
The rolling hills, the reflected pools, and the lush, man-made forests are home to a variety of animals, including monkeys, tigers, leopards, elephants, and rhinoceroses. Groups of visitors peer through the tightly sealed double-layered wire mesh exterior.
There's also a super roller coaster built on the exterior walls of floating buildings, with a drop easily exceeding one kilometer, maximizing the thrill.
Qiao Yuan watched quietly as he followed the target route, slowly moving towards the third main city, which was six thousand meters high, with the Ember Floating Vehicle.
It's so beautiful, absolutely breathtaking.
Even the female captain of the third squad, whose holographic projection was present, was now looking on with longing.
Thanks to the first-stage sublimation, their bodies can now adapt to altitude sickness, but they still need to learn a special high-altitude breathing method under the guidance of the holographic woman to adapt faster.
As Qiao Yuan swallowed, streaks of night light continuously swept past the car window, staining his face and body with various colors.
The vastness of the main city far exceeded his imagination, so there must be countless events and secrets within it. Fantastic, it perfectly matches his abilities.
Oh, by the way, when he was advancing to the first level of sublimation a couple of days ago, he had already entered the past and future four times a day.
The room for maneuver is getting larger and larger.
The next upgrade requires reaching the first-tier Celestial Pioneer [Awakening].
It's still early.
One more performance as a pioneer of destiny is needed to reach the first tier [Lone Wolf].
About an hour and a half later, after hundreds of long traffic jams, they finally arrived at the third main city, which is 6,000 meters high.
At this time, there was a new scan and review, and the floating architectural style here was further improved. Taking advantage of the fusion of Victorian style and modern crystal glass, the intricate details were intertwined with the decadent and luxurious atmosphere of the main body.
But this place was too big, with densely packed, crisscrossing sky streets and floors, and Qiao Yuan couldn't tell where he was at all.
He used GPS to pinpoint the exact location and learned that it was situated on Tiandu Avenue near Guilong Bay in the Sunset District, west of the Third Main City's Fourth Ring Road.
Galaxy University is located in the eastern part of the Sunset District, about 20 kilometers away from here.
They are now heading to the Yujintiandu Branch, which is one kilometer away.
On the way, Hu Tu, who had been lingering in the crowd, gradually came to his senses. He tugged at Hu Tu's sleeve and came to his side, asking suspiciously, "The Rodel Assassin Hotel you wanted to investigate is in a non-police area of the Fourth Main City. It must be very chaotic. Are you sure you want to go?"
Qiao Yuan nodded without hesitation: "I'll go tomorrow after the assessment and class assignments."
He couldn't wait to go.
However, there are still some things to do tonight, such as the dark blue flat tin box about the size of a playing card that Grandma Xu gave me.
You can open it and take a look.
I originally planned to open it as soon as I arrived in the main city, but I was so captivated by the scenery along the way that I almost forgot.
In the past, the attempt to capture Caesar was merely to avoid potential threats. Now, things are different. If successful, the credit score will increase, and the digestion of the Destiny Pioneer's potion will be accelerated, allowing them to advance to the first tier, [Lone Wolf].
All benefits and no harm!
They soon got out of the car in front of the Tiandu Branch, a law enforcement agency located on the top of a building, offering a wide view.
However, it seemed like no one was inside; not a single light was on, and even the main door was closed.
Yan Baobao frowned slightly, and the female captain of the third squad also spoke up in confusion: "Strange, we were in contact during the day, but we haven't been able to reach them just now. Did they go on a mission? Why isn't anyone on duty?"
Qiao Yuan was also quite surprised at this moment. Normally, the Ember Bureau, as a law enforcement agency, is open 24 hours a day. There must be someone on duty or a robot on duty.
