"Where do we go now?" After coming out of college, Alice asked, she didn't know that Shen Chao was going to stay here for a few days. Or whatever.

"Now, we're going to buy some art......" Shen Chao took Alice's hand and said with a smile, obviously not planning to reveal the mystery in advance. Alice didn't ask any more questions. Under the leadership of Lao Feng, they drove to the 798 Art District. It was originally the site of the industrial zone of the imperial capital in the early days of the Republic.

There are a large number of abandoned factories here, which were abandoned by the city during the deindustrialization of the imperial capital in the 8th and 90s, and became a worthless abandoned area. Later, grassroots artists who were gradually driven out of the city's housing prices gradually moved here and began to create art, and due to the unique geographical environment and population composition here, it became an artist distribution center. And it soon became the center of modern culture and art in the imperial capital.

Today, the 798 Art District is the largest and highest level of art creation in the country. Despite this, Shen Chao's purpose here is not to appreciate the so-called modern art here, although this may be the area with the strongest artistic atmosphere in the Celestial Empire, but he has another very pragmatic purpose here.

"Now you can tell what we're here for, right?" After Alice got out of the car, she asked with her hands around Shen Chao's neck from behind.

"Okay, I'll confess, we're here to buy training equipment...... Shen Chao explained why they're here. There are a large number of professional artists, sculptors, and art laborers...... It is possible to order some training equipment that cannot be made quickly and in large quantities elsewhere.

And the training equipment that Shen Chao said is something similar to dummies, and they will need to use a lot of dummies in the next stage of training. The reason why he doesn't buy ready-made car accident simulation dummies is because the next world they're going to is filled with alien races of all kinds. Humans are just one of the enemies they may encounter most familiarly. The world of Mass Effect is filled with alien races that are vastly different from humans.

In terms of size, the vast majority of alien sapient races in the world of Mass Effect walk upright on two legs. It's the same as humans. But beyond that, the differences between these alien races and humans are so great that many of the tactics that work well against humans are of limited effect on these strange creatures. They need to carry out some targeted training in advance based on the known information to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy.

It is a sad fact that humans are not the most intelligent race in the world of Mass Effect. That honor belongs to another human-like intelligent race in the galaxy: the Asare. This race is very similar in size to humans. Or rather, very similar to human women. Each Asari has a considerable amount of creature abilities, and with simple training, can manipulate a certain amount of dù's dark energy as freely as if they were using their limbs.

The Asari are also the longest-lived race in the galaxy, with an average natural death age of 1,000 years. Far more than most other intelligent races. On the Mass Effect World Threat Table formulated by Shen Chao, the Asari are ranked first. Although in the game's setting, the Asarei are known for their diplomacy and love of peace. Asare's most well-known move was undoubtedly the formation of the Citadel Council, which established the basic political structure of the various races in the galaxy.

The Council of the Citadel has indirectly saved the human race, which was absolutely vulnerable in the Touareg War. But just as there are two sides to everything, the various crimes and intrigues of the galaxy are never too far from the Asare. This race, which is widely believed to be all female, has a strong ability to adapt and survive, and steadily controls the political pattern and direction of the entire Mass Effect galaxy. …,

The Krogan are at the other extreme, they are tall and extremely strong, although they don't have the Asare's ability talent, and biological abilities are very rare among the Krogan people. The proportion is not as high as in humans. But their physique makes up for this shortcoming. It is very common for Krogan people to reach or even more than 2 meters tall. The body is as strong as a hill. They look a bit like giant bipedal walking lizards.

The biggest difference with large lizards is that their tails have long been significantly degenerated. The vitality of this intelligent race is extremely tenacious. Their race is far more numerical than all other races, and their lifespan is comparable to that of the Asare. Not only is it powerful, but it also has a strong ability to recover from the body. Whether it is a lost body lì or a strict zhòng's injury, it can be quickly recovered. It is the undisputed first warrior race in the galaxy.

Then there's the Touareg, a race that has the most direct connection to humans in the Mass Effect world. Because the first way humanity came into contact with the alien intelligent race was by war with them. Humanity calls it the First Contact War! The brief interstellar war was modest in scale, and it ended quickly with the mediation of the Citadel Council, led by the Asare.

In the Mass Effect galaxy, the interstellar territories of the two races, humans and the Touareg, are closest to each other, due to the increasing frequency of trade and the deepening of cooperation in the political spheres between the two races. The two races, Humans and the Touareg, have been officially allies for many years, but among the people, both races have a lot of hatred for each other.

The Turks are a fully militarized race, and although the average body element is slightly weaker than that of humans entering the interstellar age, due to the fact that all members of society, both men and women, are required to serve in the military for a certain period of time. As a result, the Turkian clan, who are not physically prominent, have the most powerful armies in the galaxy, and their military fleet is almost equal to the number of fleets of the other races combined.

In the game's story, the Touareg fleet is more than ten times larger than the human fleet! This is also the result of the fact that after the first contact war, mankind vigorously developed the construction of the fleet for several decades. Before the first contact battle, the total size of the human fleet was less than one percent of that of the Turks! Such a powerful race was naturally something that Shen Chao had to study carefully.

Then there's the Salare, who are probably the most intelligent race in the Mass Effect world, and this race evolved from reptilian creatures, but in contrast to the Krogans, they have a thin body and look weak. With a pair of big eyes peculiar to their race. It looks a bit like ET.

The endocrine system of the Salarian people works very fast and metabolizes much faster than other races. This leaves them with an average age of only about 40 years, making them the shortest-lived of the most powerful races in the galaxy. But this physiology is not entirely without its benefits, the Salarians learn and think faster than any other known race, and despite their short lifespan, they are the most productive race of scientists and intelligence traffickers in the Mass Effect galaxy.

Their combat prowess is also not as bad as their physique seems. With high-tech weapons and professional training, as well as a disciplined organization, they are also a formidable fighting race. To sum up, humans can only be regarded as one of the five powerful races that barely squeeze into the galaxy.

In addition to the above powerful races, there are also Bataris, Quarians, Wochas, and Wallers in the Mass Effect world...... And so on. They control the star districts of different sizes. Although they are not at the level of a powerful race in the first echelon of the galaxy like humans, they also have their own characteristics. The various races vary greatly in size, physique, and innate abilities. They need to know in advance the characteristics of these races, the range of abilities. …,

They need targeted simulation training. Practice ways to kill these enemies in a variety of conditions so as not to be unprepared in the event of an encounter. Shen Chao took Alice here for a few hours, ordering a large number of full-scale training dolls and sculptures in 14 studios. Nominally, of course, a work of art. These dolls were made into Asares, Krogan, and Touareg...... And so on the alien race looks like. Most of them are action figures.

The studios that received his orders basically thought he was some kind of Mass Effect superfan or some kind of game show exhibitor or something. After collecting the money, I got busy. Shen Chao gave them a deadline of 2 weeks. In total, these studios produce nearly 40 sculptures and action figures of various kinds. The total value is more than 2 million.

Shen Chao and Alice also waited here for half a month, until the case of Li Zhongmou's murder was declared "solved". During this period, a police officer also visited them at the hotel. Because a citizen reported that earlier in the day, a foreign woman who matched Alice's characteristics asked for information about Li Zhongmou.

In this regard, Shen Chao has prepared a full set of confessions for Alice and asked her to memorize them. To the effect that she didn't receive the invitation, she wanted to rush to Li Zhongmou's birthday banquet that day to talk about financing cooperation. This rhetoric, combined with Alice's identity as a foreign businessman and the presence of Shen Chao, the company's CEO, is really impeccable. As a result, the policeman didn't ask any questions, and quickly took his leave. Originally, this was a very unreliable clue, compared to the long list of enemies of the Li family, Alice, an "international friend", was undoubtedly at the bottom.

A few days later, the "murderers" who killed the father and daughter of the Li family were brought to justice! Shen Chao watched the live broadcast in the news, and the police arrested two guys who looked extremely passerby. One high and one low. In terms of height alone, it is more similar to Shen Chao and Alice. They all look like they're 2 or 30 years old. More like a gangster than a professional killer. Needless to say, it is another routine of habitual criminals. The police could not find useful clues, but they were forced by social pressure to solve the case. As a result, all kinds of gangsters with rich criminal records have become sacks of guilt.
