The Ring City was the only megacity in the classical era, with a total population of more than a billion if calculated in terms of urban radiation and participation!

It is in fact a ring of cities, a dozen satellite towns, and hundreds of independent kingdoms. The land included includes mountains and valleys, archipelagos and seas, underground worlds and endless forests, etc., and the actual land utilization rate is not even one percent.

The logistics system of classical times could hardly support a megacity, and the consumption of water and food alone was enough to collapse the supply. That's why Pheren didn't give birth to a big city.

But this is not a problem for the ring city, the strange portal system allows the city to directly enter the interstellar wormhole era. In comparison, trains and planes are all weakly exploded, okay...... Besides, there is the mechanical world (a world made entirely of machines) as a support, and even the robots of artificial intelligence (Mozuka) have them, and the drizzle of trains and planes is mainly used at any cost.

It is said that the bigwigs in the mechanical world are all dead-brained, and if they agree with a person, they will stick to death - after they recognized Penny as the same kind, they spared no effort to support and maintain the city, and they were more concerned about their own affairs!

Even among the magic that circulates around the city, there is an eight-ring magic called Mechanus' Cannon. The effect of this magic is to summon a super cannon from the mechanical world and fire it at the target!

Apocalypse charged, apocalypse strike, on call!

As for whether it's good or not, who really knows who uses it! Anyway, none of the people who have been used so far have survived the artillery fire, so no one can tell what it feels like......

*****

With such a huge megacity still built on a spectacular ring, the first-time hillbilly will definitely be shocked! My heart was full of questions about "why don't the people above fall".

In addition, the bizarre races on the streets, the bizarre performances, the fifteen factions with clear ideas and unbreakable battles, the popular tattoo and joke culture, and so on...... A breath of steelpunk is coming!

People who are new to your land will definitely feel empty-hearted, and they are constantly wondering how to greet people. Will you be beaten up for being too arrogant?

In fact, if you really dig deeper, you will find that the ring city is no different from other places. Maybe the angels upstairs and the demons downstairs, although the appearance is very different, everyone is worried about the things about firewood, rice, oil and salt. No one is holding rock 'n' roll high, and they can't stop...... You've got to eat.

I don't eat and I'm hungry, and I've been high because I've been fed a neuropathy by the mage.

There are no big bosses around the city, but it is not a paradise for anarchists, let alone an outlawed place. Anarchists are still a minority of minorities, even in the Ringtown, where there is really no government.

The ring is too big, and such a huge city needs order! Without an official government, it is natural that gangs of Society B will be spawned to maintain another underground order. When the gangs of Society B expanded to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, it became a joke to rely on loyalty and money to govern. To unite such a large organization, it takes a common idea...... As a result, the gang was transformed into a faction with different philosophies.

Like the Ten Thousand Dead, who thinks that death is the most real; the "Butchers" who pursue absolute justice and are committed to eliminating all inequalities in the universe; There is also the "Harmony Society" dedicated to the peace of the whole universe -

"Harmony is always right", they advocate uniting all like-minded people if they don't...... Then destroy him physically!

It's interesting to listen to it once in a while......

It's definitely not so strict when it comes to the bottom, and the little minions are more concerned about collecting protection fees (collecting taxes), and by the way, they take out the big guy's ideas and brag about it. Just listen, even if you don't agree, I won't be able to harmonize you - for example, Shen Yan, a very discordant guy, listens to it with relish.

*****

"What do you call them?" The two little minions with fingered tigers stopped Shen Yan and asked.

"In the next Shen Nayan, this is my wife." Shen Yan said with a smile. "We want to find a place to live."

"Shen Yan", "Shen Nayan", this is a word game that only Chinese people on the earth understand - put it in the multiverse, names have meanings, these are not two similar names, but two diametrically opposed words - the former said "This is a person surnamed Shen who is used to talking nonsense", and the latter is "This man surnamed Shen doesn't like to talk much".

"New here? The identity registration fee of two gold coins is a little gold, don't fool our brothers with those lead-doped ones. One of the tattooed fellows teased, and the other clumsily took a pen and wrote in a notebook.

Shen Yan casually threw two pure gold gold coins over, and the other party took them and stuffed them into the leather bag without looking at them. The leather bag was marked with the word "charge" in magic text, and it looked quite legitimate.

"As soon as you arrived, you don't have to pay this month's head fee, and you will start paying it from next month. If you don't have a job, find a job to do...... If the business is to collect business tax, the poll tax is exempt, otherwise two gold coins per person per month. After paying the money, if you encounter something, you will find us a harmony meeting, you know? The tattooed face said, "Do you need help finding a house?" I've lived here for decades, and there's no place I'm not familiar with. ”

Instantly completed the role switch from a gangster to a real estate agent.

"This," Shen Yan rubbed his hands and asked hesitantly, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, I have some whimsical ideas, what if the business I do conflicts with the concept of your association?" ”

"Huh-" The two little minions all laughed, "As soon as you pay the money, it's over, what does the concept of our Harmony Society have to do with you ordinary people?" The business of killing people and setting fires in this city can be done in the open, what is your little business? Don't worry, do it boldly! Something happened to find Brother Tiger! ”

The tattooed face patted the little brother's shoulder, "He is Brother Tiger!" ”

Shen Yan...... I seem to have found a comrade who threw the pot to teach.

"Okay, help me find a small building with a yard, preferably with a basement, remote, but not too dangerous." Shen Yan said. Michelle listened with a smile and didn't say a word, respecting the opinion of Shen Yan, the head of the family...... Now is the time when he is psychologically vulnerable.

Although they made their home on the second floor of the sunken cathedral, the place was isolated. Therefore, there are still a few more entrances and exits with sufficient surface residences, anyway, Shen Yan is rich and capricious. After it is arranged, you can enter and exit the cathedral through the portal, and Shen Yan's portal cannot be walked by others, so it could not be safer.

"Haha, I know I know, it's safe enough and remote enough, right? I'll tell you, eight out of ten newcomers are looking for such a house! Coincidentally, our area is full of such houses! ”

In such a place of general insecurity, of course, this is the case everywhere.

"Let's go, I happen to know a few good ones."

The tattooed face took the lead and left, and Shen Yan followed...... Looking at the gangsters of the Harmony Society, he felt that this organization seemed to be a good addition.
