Page 8 Mega Metropolis
Jinhuang City is the largest, most prosperous and most important huge metropolis in the eastern part of the Guandu area, it is an important business circle in the eastern part of the Guandu area, and it can be regarded as the financial center of the Guandu area in a certain way.
Standing on the edge of the city and looking up, you can see the buildings that cannot be seen, the towering skyscrapers and the tightly attached apartments and commercial buildings are crammed here, and this is a real concrete jungle.
In fact, the history of Jinhuang City is very short, don't look at it covers a vast area of buildings, but the real history of the establishment is less than a century, when the people from the south invaded Guancheng, Jinhuang City was just a commercial and prosperous 6-way transportation hub. However, the people of Semu took a fancy to the geographical location and transportation conditions of this place, and made great efforts to build it. At one time, the city was a stronghold for conquerors and colonists to boast of their might and a huge fortress to protect their rule.
After the Semu people were driven out of the city, due to its superior geographical location and perfect infrastructure, Jinhuang City was regarded as the capital for a period of time and became the center of government. However, with the successive defeats of the Sekijo regime, which participated in the two world wars, the city was also attacked by the victors, and it was decadent for a while. Therefore, after the establishment of the regional alliance, it lost its political function and completely transformed into a commercial city.
The manufacturing and light industries here are very good, and the commercial activities and financial activities are even more prosperous, as long as it is a little famous, companies and groups will choose to build their headquarters in the high-end business district of Jinhuang City. In the midst of these magnificent buildings, in the heart of the city, surrounded by all the exquisite buildings, a world-famous and massive building is the undisputed focal point - the headquarters of the Schiruff company.
No matter where you are in the city, you can look up and see this beautiful man-made wonder.
Even at the entrance of the city, Merlin could see this amazing building, glowing golden in the sun.
"What is the purpose of your entry into the city...... "Sitting behind heavy special glass, the guard is talking dryly, asking over and over the purpose of each person who wants to enter the Golden City, and checking the identification they provide—magnetic cards or illustrated books. Unlike ordinary small cities, you need to have a valid ID and a special pass to enter Jinhuang City. Officially, this policy is called household registration management.
"Learn." Merlin looked at the guard, as if he felt a little pity for him.
"Studying?" The guard, who had been staring at the computer screen, raised his head and gave Merlin a puzzled look, "Are you here to go to school or something else?" ”
"Go to the Golden Pavilion to study." Merlin said lightly.
The guard gasped and looked at Merlin with a frightened expression, as if he were a monster who had chosen to devour people. Even the people in line behind Merlin behaved like this, hurriedly stepping back and keeping their distance from Merlin, and then staring at Merlin with wide eyes.
Merlin really didn't expect such a simple sentence to have such magic, or power.
"Really?" The guard, however, seemed a little calmer, swallowing his spit, and asked in disbelief.
"Do you need any proof?" Merlin was amazed. He didn't remember that there was such a rule.
The guard nodded.
Merlin rolled his eyes, took out a small bottle of fatigue-relieving juice from his waist bag and put it in the palm of his hand, then smiled slightly, and the vial in his hand disappeared and immediately appeared in front of the guard's computer desk.
"Drink it, it can relieve fatigue and moisten your throat." Merlin said to the guard who was completely stunned when he saw this scene, and was rubbing his eyes fiercely.
At the same time, a large blank space immediately appeared beside Merlin, and the people in line behind him changed lines in fright, and the two columns beside him were also emptied in an instant. People looked at Merlin with fear and awe, perhaps mixed with a little disgust.
The guards immediately worked with all their might, and in a short time gave out a pass to Merlin.
After taking the pass and swiping it on the huge machine at the inspection office, Merlin stepped into the golden city in the eyes of a crowd of people.
[I never knew that there was such a benefit as a capable person. After taking a few steps, Merlin suddenly stopped and turned around to scan the crowd, and after watching them tremble a little with his gaze, he smiled, and smiled very comfortably.
For the first time in his life, he felt the benefits of strength.

Huge cities and towering buildings always give Merlin a sense of oppression.
It was his first time in Jinhuang, but it was not the first time he had been to such an advanced megacity, he had followed his grandfather to Edo, the residence of the old regime that had long since collapsed, to the rainbow full of flowers and books, to the perfect fusion of classical and modern, and he had even been to the giant city of silicon beryllium made of pure metal in the most brutal area of the Ouray region. But no matter which mega city it is, Merlin will feel uncomfortable.
The wind blows uncomfortably because of the partition of the buildings, the air is filled with the mixed smell of a big city, the roar of engines and motors fills the ears, and the faces are hurried and indifferent.
The people who live here are more like parts on a huge machine, sleek and cold, they only care about themselves and like to complain, and they never seem to be satisfied and happy.
Walking through the bustling streets, Merlin could clearly feel the negative feelings released by the hurried passers-by and the tremendous pressure they put on themselves.
This heaviness and depression are contagious, and after a while of walking, Merlin felt that his mood had become much worse.
Seeing that it was already close to noon, Merlin decided to go and eat something to fill his stomach to change his mood affected by the towering buildings and dull passers-by, and then continue to search for the location of the Golden Hall.
With that in mind, Merlin strolled to an elegantly decorated western restaurant on the side of the road.
After ordering the meal, the bored Merlin took out his computer to read the news and started the waiting time.
A headline immediately caught Merlin's attention, "The Guandu Alliance Prepares for a New Special Police Force", a simple title that allowed Merlin to fully read**, especially after Hua Lan personally experienced the scene of the evil party of the Rocket Corps suppressing the police force with advanced heavy firepower, he was even more concerned about the news in this regard.
Judging from the content of this news similar to an announcement, the alliance is indeed about to make a new round of action, and this huge machine is a little reluctant but still turning.
According to the news, the Guandu Alliance plans to deploy new special police units in important cities, transportation hubs, and special areas with relatively small numbers and relatively streamlined but stronger combat effectiveness. These paramilitary SWAT units, known as "special duty units", are responsible for dealing with serious crimes, hostage rescue, counterterrorism, VIP protection, facility protection, search, conducting special operations, and providing emergency medical care in disasters – in fact, to combat the armed evil organization Rocket Corps.
It has been learned that the newly established special duty unit will be directly composed of selected professional military personnel, who will be equipped with all kinds of state-of-the-art vehicles, equipment, and armaments, and will rush to the front line of protecting the lives and safety of the people in Guandu......
The rest of the text is almost all nonsense such as singing praises of merit or flaunting the combat effectiveness and advanced equipment of these special duty units that have just been inaugurated. Oh, by the way, the article also mentions that the police will expand the SWAT team and the number of police officers, and also calls on aspiring young people to apply for the police force, etc.
[In the face of the rocket corps with light and heavy firepower and professional armed personnel and the madman of the Ideal Country who suddenly returned, it is indeed insufficient to rely on the original strength. Merlin scanned the news at a glance, "The league really needs more people to deal with the successive challenges. But what can these special police officers do to help? They might be able to fight the Rocket Legion, but it's still reluctant to deal with the madmen of the Ideal Country, right? 】
Merlin took a sip of the white water in her glass.
[Or is it more symbolic?] Purely to appease the population? Merlin let the warm white water linger between his lips and teeth for a moment before swallowing it, [I think the alliance should recruit those young trainers who are idle at home, although there are the most middle and high-level ordinary people among them, but there are also many elites - like the golden girl I met before - if it makes this group of new generations who are somewhat dissatisfied with the alliance become possible enemies in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to gather them under their wings. Even if they are not recruited to supplement their combat strength, but only to appease and resettle them, I think it is much more cost-effective than the establishment of these so-called special police units. 】
While Merlin was thinking nonsense, the meal he ordered was also renewed. After packing up his computer, Merlin decided that it would be more practical to calm his stomach than worry about the Alliance.

A golden hall shrouded in a light mist.
This huge, extravagant building sits on the edge of the old northeastern part of the city, and there are no other buildings in a radius of nearly a kilometer or so around it - even the city is a little oppressive and uneasy - only verdant lawns, neat shrubs, and tall trees adorn the neighborhood.
Only on the west side of the gorgeous gym is a dilapidated and pitiful dojo in contrast, stubbornly resisting the supreme pressure from the Golden Dojo in the corner.
Different people have different definitions and aspirations for this ability.
For the powerful, this is a palace for the powerful who gather in Guandu and even the world, and it is a holy place for them to exercise their strength and gain true knowledge in their dreams.
For the trainers who are collecting badges to participate in the regional convention, there are many terrifying legends floating in this seemingly ordinary Quadrangle Gym, except for a few Leng Touqing who are not afraid of death and masters who are very confident in their own strength, few trainers really dare to come here to challenge.
For scholars who study the human body, the so-called Golden Yellow Pavilion is more like a natural "sample bank", which gathers many mutated human individuals (or materials) with wonderful powers waiting for them to dissect, realize, slice, and slice open the brain...... But unfortunately, an irresistible force has prevented their ambitions and wild dreams from being realized. Therefore, they can only bite handkerchiefs in the distant research institute, twist the corners of their clothes, and look at this place with greedy eyes through the window.
And when Merlin came here, many people were in the eye. Some are the eyes of thieves hidden in the shadows, some are the cunning reflections behind the lenses in the laboratory, and some are a powerful blue light in the depths of the hall.
Merlin shuddered, "This place is really perverted. He muttered a word and walked towards the Golden Yellow Dao Pavilion, the apprehension in his heart was really indescribable.

Well, the question from the last issue was so simple, right? The answer is the stone of water~~
But then why are there so few book friends who answer such simple questions...... (Lost) Also, the book review area has been so deserted recently~~~ (more lost)
Finally, there is a weak question in this issue: as we all know, Golden City is one of the few places in the game where there are two dojos, so apart from the ability of the Golden Dojo, what are the attributes of the poor dojo next to it?
