Those who reincarnate must die.

Zhang Lang followed Jiao Yi as they wandered through the streets of the lower city.

Walking here, Zhang Lang can truly understand why the Lower City is described as an abandoned area.

Crowded, poor, dark, and foul-smelling are the main themes here. People are dressed in rags, pale and emaciated, and live in a toxic environment year after year. This has even caused some people to mutate, developing disgusting tumors and bone protruding from their skin, tormenting them every moment.

Death and disease are commonplace; corpses lie on the ground unattended, left to be torn apart by equally mutated and ugly wild dogs and rats... Of course, the healthy parts and useful organs are mostly taken by sneaky figures first...

Despite being filled with death, everywhere you go, you're surrounded by people, one after another, exuding a stubborn vitality.

Within a few dozen square kilometers, there is a population of nearly 30 million. Driven by instincts etched deep in their genes, everyone hopes to pass on their bloodline before the end of this painful life, pinning their hopes on one of their descendants to escape this sea of ​​suffering...

Of course, for every person who suffers, there is someone who enjoys!

As Zhang Lang passed through a crowded market, he saw a group of masked men with varying degrees of physical alterations overturning stalls that had not paid their "management fees" on time and beating the stall owners indiscriminately.

The mechanical police officers who walked by with guns seemed not to see them at all and did not intervene.

"Although the lower city also has a mechanical police system, there aren't many of them, since there are too many people, and they don't pay taxes..."

Jiao Yi explained:

"The initial mechanical police, like those in the central district, strictly enforced the law. However, they quickly faced resistance from numerous gangs in the lower district, with police systems being compromised and disconnected almost daily. Therefore, the Gongshu Company changed the settings for the lower district's mechanical police system, only intervening in cases of serious bloodshed. And these gangs learned their lesson; in front of the police, they became relatively restrained, at least avoiding killing anyone..."

Gongshu Company is the world's largest robot manufacturer. Zhang Lang learned from the internet that the robot police systems in major cities around the world were all created by this company.

Since arriving in the lower city, Zhang Lang has remained connected to the Tianluo network, but he has disabled the communication function. This is to prevent his superiors from contacting him through Tianluo; it would be difficult to explain if that happened, so he simply turned it off as if it were broken.

Zhang Lang did not intervene in the thugs' evil deeds. This is the nature of the world; the same things happen every day, on every street.

This is not a world worth fighting for justice, and he doesn't yet have the means to do so.

Finally, after crossing streets and passing buildings, witnessing bustling activity, the two arrived at the area managed by Carpunk.

"This is his sphere of influence!"

Jiao Yi turned around and looked at Zhang Lang:

"Honestly, you're really something! Even with the modified breathing filters, people from the Midtown area can't stand the pungent smell of this toxic fumes when they suddenly come down to the Lower Town. I threw up the first time I came down to work, but you didn't even flinch the whole way!"

Zhang Lang glanced at him, too lazy to explain that he hadn't actually done anything to him, and could only vaguely reply, "My sense of smell isn't very good..."

"In the downtown area, this isn't a flaw, it's a blessing!"

Jiao Yi shook his head and sighed, leading him through stacks of GG signs, declining the enthusiastic invitations of extravagantly dressed streetwalkers, and arriving at a bar.

"Just walk through this bar, and inside the building lies the Carpunk stronghold!"

As Jiao Yi introduced the bar, he led Zhang Lang inside, went straight to the bar counter, and greeted the bartender.

"Hi Winston, how have you been lately?"

The bartender, called Winston, glanced at him: "If you could just pay me back the two hundred points you owe me, that would be great..."

"Oh, what's our relationship? Talking about money is just asking for trouble!"

Jiao Yi seemed completely unashamed, and simply continued speaking to himself:

"Let me tell you, I've landed a huge deal this time! See this tall, imposing guy behind me? He's got the connections, he can get his hands on special products. I brought him here to talk to Boss Carpunk. If this works out, forget your two hundred points, I'll treat everyone here to drinks, no problem!"

"So that's why you suddenly showed up. You wanted to see the boss..." Winston rolled his eyes at him. "The boss's been really busy lately. What's up?"

"What can I talk to you about?" Jiao Yi laughed. "Brother, stop fooling around, just let me through..."

"Who's messing with you?" Winston remained unmoved.

Jiao Yi's eyes flickered a few times, but in the end he gritted his teeth, pulled out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket, searched again, and found a few coins: "Winston, this is all I have on me. I'll definitely send the rest over in a few days."

Winston glanced sideways and counted the points: 128.32 in total, still a little over 70 points short. But remembering Jiao Yi's stingy nature, he smiled and said, "Don't do it again!"

After saying that, he placed his hand under the platform and pressed a hidden switch: "Go on, there's Laser Eye inside. How you get past him is up to you!"

"Thanks, bro!"

Jiao Yi laughed and pulled Zhang Lang into the kitchen. They walked through the kitchen and finally arrived at the main hall, where they saw the modified humans playing cards. The one in the lead, with laser eyes, looked up, saw Jiao Yi, and gave him a meaningful smile.

"They actually let you in. Looks like Winston paid you back?"

"Oh dear, what's my relationship with Winston!" Jiao Yi said familiarly. "Brother Laser, is Boss Carpunk busy right now? I'll introduce him to a new Dream Agent; he can get a lot of things that ordinary people can't!"

"Dream Agent?" Laser Eyes sized up Zhang Lang and chuckled, "No mechanical modifications whatsoever, not even an external brain chip. These days, there aren't many pure humans like you..."

"Pure human?" Upon hearing this word, Jiao Yi was clearly taken aback. He remembered that Zhang Lang hadn't worn a breathing mask the whole way and had just been breathing in the poison gas!

"Strictly speaking, I'm not exactly a pure human either..." Zhang Lang said calmly.

"Oh? The latest bio-engineered human?"

Laser Eyes' red pupils widened: "Then you're worth far more than us!"

As he spoke, he showed off his arms, revealing a steel frame and hydraulic rods that replaced muscles.

The cyborgs playing cards around him also stood up.
