Those who reincarnate must die.

As the space shuttle used a special device to pass through the plasma window and slowly landed at the designated airport, this space voyage came to an end.

Zhang Lang, Ye Peng, and Le Xinyi also disembarked from the plane and went through customs. While going through customs, the staff gave each of them a small electronic device with lenses on it. The design reminded Zhang Lang of the external assistive brain he had once carried in Dream City...

"This is an augmented reality device!" Yue Xinyi explained to Zhang Lang, "Many facilities in Sky City utilize augmented reality technology, and you need this to interact with them..."

"Augmented reality?" Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow; this was a new concept for him.

"In other words, it adds extra information to the existing physical objects!" Ye Peng explained. "You'll see once you wear it!"

Zhang Lang put on the device and looked around through the lenses. He found that everything was the same as before. However, when he focused his attention, the system would capture his gaze and an information bar would pop up on the thing he was looking at, with some corresponding basic information appearing.

For example, the table: made of wood, originating from the land of exile, manufactured six years ago, and made of Qing redwood, etc.

In addition to information, it can also connect with mobile phones, directly linking to Sky City and even regional networks.

What's even more impressive is that many places in Sky City are designed with virtual objects. Without the glasses, it just looks like an ordinary table. But with the glasses on, you might see a virtual cartoon character singing and dancing, or even communicating with you and answering your questions.

Even more extreme, some have virtual physical stores. While they appear as empty spaces without the glasses, putting them on creates a remarkably realistic shop. You can enter, browse items, and even negotiate prices with the shop owner, just like shopping in a real store. After selecting your items, the shop owner, located on the other end of the internet, will pack and ship them to the address you provided. If you don't want to see this particular shop, you can even switch to other types of shops from the same location!

After the person distributing the glasses explained the effects of this virtual augmentation technology, even first-time visitors from Earth would find it amazing, let alone a country bumpkin like Zhang Lang who came from the steam age.

Once outside the airport, the streets and buildings appear ordinary to the naked eye, but as soon as you put on augmented reality glasses, they instantly become dazzling and vibrant!

Giant virtual idols dance and sing in the sky above the shopping mall, celebrity endorsements play in a three-dimensional format, neon lights flash and colors are dazzling... Many people are even followed by an adorable virtual pet. These little guys do not have a physical body, they only exist in the virtual network, but they are smarter and cuter than real pets, making them irresistible.

"Is this... the technology of the future?" Zhang Lang exclaimed in amazement!

"It won't be long before this technology is widespread across the globe!" Le Xinyi laughed. "I heard that Yunzhou's airport is already introducing small space shuttles. Maybe next year when we come to Sky City again, we won't need to take those bulky space shuttles; we can just ride the smaller ones, saving a lot of money and time!"

"Times are changing, and technology is advancing!" Ye Peng added, "Sky City focuses on electronic network technology, while Elysium City specializes in human enhancement and genetic engineering... I've heard they've already developed technology that grants humans special abilities; calling it a city of superhumans wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"There are places like this?" Zhang Lang exclaimed upon hearing this, "You really should get out and about; it broadens your horizons!"

As they were chatting, a tall, middle-aged man in the distance waved to them. Le Xinyi and Ye Peng smiled as soon as they saw him, dragging their suitcases over. Le Xinyi called the man "Third Uncle," while Ye Peng called him "Third Uncle." Clearly, this was their relative in Sky City.

Zhang Lang followed behind, pulling his luggage. He didn't have much to bring. He couldn't wear most of the clothes Zhang Lang had left behind. His clothes had self-cleaning and self-repairing functions; if he took them off and hung them overnight, they would be clean and new the next day. So he basically only brought his wallet, ID, a few pairs of underwear and socks, toiletries, and other small items.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with his third uncle, the two introduced Zhang Lang to him, falsely claiming that he was their classmate and had come to visit.

The third uncle's name was Ye Songyang. He was Le Xinyi's maternal uncle and Ye Peng's paternal uncle. He treated the two children as his own and naturally welcomed their classmates. So he drove the three of them to his residence.

Along the way, Uncle Ye displayed his gossipy elder style, asking about Le Xinyi and Ye Peng's school life and subtly inquiring about Zhang Lang's relationship with the two of them... especially his relationship with Le Xinyi...

Although he was with Ye Peng, the fact that his niece brought a male classmate home made this older man, as an elder, start to speculate. Zhang Lang's quiet and reserved nature was also interpreted by this man as shyness, seeing him as a timid and reserved tall man…

"By the way, Third Uncle!" Le Xinyi changed the subject, "Xiao Fei is in high school this year, right?"

"Yes!" Ye Songyang sighed as he mentioned his son. "That kid is such a worry! I went to great lengths to get him into a top-tier high school in Sky City, but he just won't study. What am I supposed to do? He's nothing like me. When I was in middle school, I was completely focused on my studies, and I felt like I didn't have enough time. But him? All he does is play video games and hang out with his friends. Lately, he's even become obsessed with some kind of superstitious nonsense. He's completely neglecting his studies!"

"How can he compare to you, Third Uncle!" Ye Peng advised, "Back when you were young, Grandpa's business went bankrupt, and the family was quite strapped for cash. You were sensible and knew how to study... Now, you're a senior executive at Tengfei Group, and Sky City has such a great environment. Xiao Fei has such superior conditions, he has no sense of urgency. No matter what, being able to let him have no worries is also an achievement of yours, sir!"

"So, according to you, I should be proud of him for not studying hard?"

"You know what, we should really be proud of ourselves!" Le Xinyi chimed in from the side.

The three chatted and laughed as they drove into a residential area and stopped in front of a detached villa. They got out of the car, retrieved their luggage, and Ye Songyang backed the car into the garage. A dignified middle-aged woman was already waiting at the door; she was Ye Songyang's wife, Chi Na.

"Third Aunt!"

"Third Aunt!"

Le Xinyi and Ye Peng went up to greet them, then turned around and introduced Zhang Lang. Ye Songyang came out of the garage and led the group into the house.

Chi Na had already prepared a table full of dishes to welcome the three of them, but looking at these exquisite dishes, Le Xinyi glanced at Zhang Lang and asked, "Are you sure you can eat your fill?"

The question startled Ye Songyang and his wife. Old Ye glanced at Zhang Lang and said, "This young man is so strong, he must have a big appetite. Why don't you cook a couple more dishes, Chi Na? I remember there's some cooked food in the fridge, cut up a plate!"

"No need, thank you!" Zhang Lang stood up and declined, turning back to Le Xinyi and saying, "That time I... I exercised too much and ate a bit too much... I usually don't eat much..."

"Let's eat!" Ye Songyang started eating quickly, while Ye Peng glanced upstairs and asked, "Where's Xiaofei?"

"He's on vacation now, out hanging out with friends... I think he went to see something, a virtual idol concert!" Ye Songyang picked up a piece of food and shoveled it into his mouth with rice. "This Sky City is like spring all year round. If you ask me, we should cancel winter and summer vacations, let the kids study more, and get them back on track!"

Whenever his youngest son was mentioned, Old Ye couldn't help but complain, while his nephew and niece kept trying to comfort him.

After dinner, Lao Ye led them to their prepared rooms. Ye Peng and Zhang Lang shared a room, while Le Xinyi had her own. Everything was arranged, and it was almost dark.

Although Sky City possesses atmospheric pressure close to that of the Earth's surface due to the enclosed plasma window, its atmosphere is too thin to properly scatter sunlight. Therefore, even when the sun is shining, the sky normally appears as a starry night. However, to cater to people's daily routines, a day-night cycle is still created. Thus, the weather system in Sky City controls both day and night. The blue sky and white clouds during the day are actually an illusion; they disappear at a certain time, revealing the beautiful night sky.

On their first day, Le Xinyi and Ye Peng were bound to chat with the two elders, but Zhang Lang felt a little awkward standing to the side.

He wasn't actually very familiar with the brother and sister; he only came for the gathering of reincarnators. It was difficult for him to pretend to be very familiar with them, and given his quiet and straightforward personality, he would only ruin the atmosphere here.

Therefore, Zhang Lang suggested going out for a walk. Ye Songyang was worried that his classmate might have some accidents in Sky City since he was unfamiliar with the place, so he asked Yue Xinyi or Ye Peng to go with him, but they told him that it would be fine.

Are you kidding me? A man who can fight his way in and out of a swarm of insects seven times wouldn't be kidnapped in Sky City, would he?

Zhang Lang strolled around the nearby residential area alone. The greenery was lovely, the scenery was beautiful, and looking up at the starry sky was refreshing.

As he was strolling along, he saw a young man and woman walking towards him. They looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy was very tall, about 1.85 meters, and behind him was a white girl who was very petite, at most a little over 1.5 meters. The girl's steps were unsteady, her body was light, and she was wearing clothes that were obviously not modern.
