Chapter 18: The World in 10,000 Years
Lu Yu subconsciously thought that Bai Yuyao's family's transportation might be some top luxury car......
But when he saw the behemoth in front of him, a huge flying machine, he still realized that it was poverty that limited his imagination.
There are two Chinese "hummingbirds" written on it, which seem to be the name or model of this aircraft?
Lu Yu followed Bai Yuyao into the plane.
After a while, the aircraft began to start.
The screen in the cabin shows the current altitude, speed, and distance from the destination.
According to the introduction of the little rich woman, the target of this flight is Anle City, the largest city in Qingzhou.
As the distance continues to approach.
After a while, Lu Yu saw a steel forest outside the window.
The towers rise and fall, one after another, continuously.
Between the buildings, the hovering train quickly shuttles through the tracks above the city.
Large, brightly coloured electronic screens are embedded in tall buildings, and one advertisement after another is constantly changing.
Occasionally, an airship floats by, with a huge advertising banner behind it.
It reads impressively - [Qianqiu Pavilion Martial Arts Chain Training Base, several great martial arts level existences teach in person, and the grandmaster level sits at the headquarters of Qianqiu Pavilion, which is the best choice for you to enter the road of martial arts. γ
Next to a high-rise building, there is a holographic projection with a height of several hundred meters, and she is the image of a pure and lovely girl, she reads the lines in a seductive tone: "Xuanwu Mansion, the top private martial arts university in the Federation, I am a freshman Wen Shuting, I am waiting for you to come to Xuanwu Mansion, walk on the road of martial arts with me, and grow together." β
Lu Yu quietly looked at these advertisements.
Today's weather is good, and the light is abundant, but those advertisements and holographic projections are still very clear.
The aircraft slowly landed on the roof of a building.
Bai Yuyao jumped off the flying machine, turned around and waved at Lu Yu: "Let's go!" β
Lu Yu followed.
Following behind Bai Yuyao, Lu Yu observed the world curiously, looking at all kinds of people of all kinds.
There are quite a few people, like cyberpunk works, who are fitted with mechanical prostheses with a metallic sheen on their bodies.
However, these people, after seeing Lu Yu and Bai Yuyao, all showed envious eyes.
Heroic Spirit, Soul Master, a pure human being who has embarked on the path of a warrior.
These are things they can't reach.
As if noticing that Lu Yu was very curious about what was in front of him, Bai Yuyao leaned over to Lu Yu and whispered to him: "More than a hundred years ago, before the revival of aura, it was very popular to install mechanical prosthetics. β
"At that time, the more mechanical prosthetics a person could fit, the more powerful a person was."
"At the same time, there is a difference in rank between these mechanical prosthetics, there are military and civilian, and there are many types and grades of these two categories."
"At that time, many people who pursued strength would install as many mechanical prostheses as possible within the limits of the body's rejection reaction."
"The most powerful of them all, the consciousness has been transformed, the last 1% of the physical tissue of the brain has been abandoned, and it has become a 100% prosthetic modified existence."
"Later, the aura gradually recovered, and a new path appeared, and people were able to contract with the heroic spirits of the long river of history, and with their help, embark on the path of martial arts."
"At that time, this path was not favored by the mainstream, there were ridicule, there were suppression, and there were even a lot of armed conflicts."
"Those original martial arts pioneers could only secretly accumulate strength, until the appearance of the first martial arts master, the pattern of the world began to change."
"At that time, there was a popular program in the Federation, called TCC Unlimited Martial Arts Conference, which was broadcast live worldwide once a year, and the ratings were the first in the Federation."
"That year, there was a grandmaster-level martial artist whose prosthetic body was modified to 0%, and he participated in this unlimited fighting tournament, and he defeated one prosthetic modifier after another."
"His appearance caused a lot of controversy, and many people protested at the time, demanding that he withdraw from the competition, saying that the Unrestricted Martial Arts Conference was specially held for prosthetic modders."
"However, for the sake of ratings, the organizers still kept him, and in fact, that year's Unrestricted Martial Arts Conference was indeed the most watched one."
"There were no accidents, the Grandmaster Warrior made it all the way to the finals, and on the final stage, he casually tore apart the defending champion of the previous edition, the 100% prosthetic modder."
"That is, from that moment on, the era of spirit masters and warriors has come."
Lu Yu listened to this story quietly, and gradually learned more about Bai Yuyao's era.
Later, Bai Yuyao told some stories since the beginning of the Imperial Spirit Martial Arts era.
In the past 100 years, how many talented people, like carp crossing the river, have rushed to emerge.
One martial arts school after another has been created, as if a hundred flowers are blooming, competing with each other.
This is an incomparably brilliant era.
Soul Master, Warrior, Remnant Party Modifier of the Old Era, Mechanical Warrior who embraces martial arts, Unpopular Pharmacist, Mind Power Person, etc.
More than 100 years ago, natural persons who have not undergone prosthetic modifications were easily discriminated against and targeted in society.
After all, there were too few natural people at that time, and they were rare.
And today, although the prosthetic modifiers are still the majority, natural talents are the envy of everyone.
After all, in the absence of a contract heroic spirit and no martial arts talent, it is possible to go through the prosthetic modification, whether it is the prosthetic modifier school or the mechanic school.
So even though it's the age of the spirits.
But there are still a lot of prosthetic modifiers on the street.
"Although the prosthetic modification has a quick effect, quick installation, and good results, once the flesh and blood are changed, there is no way to take the path of martial arts." Bai Yuyao explained to Lu Yu seriously: "Once a martial artist installs a prosthetic body, when he reaches the realm of forging bones, the martial arts will be completely blocked, and he will not be able to continue cultivating. β
Later, a few people visited a lot of shops, shopping and eating along the way, but there was also a sense of dating.
Bai Yuyao couldn't help but think so, and secretly glanced at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's face was as usual, and he looked at everything around him curiously at the moment, like a rat in the countryside entering the city for the first time.
"Do you want to buy anything?" Bai Yuyao suddenly asked.
"If I can, I want to ask for some more spirit stones to cultivate." Lu Yu thought for a while, but still spoke.
"Okay." Bai Yuyao nodded, and then walked into a spirit stone specialty store.
This Lingshi store should be a chain store, the name is Wuyi Pavilion Lingshi Monopoly, and there is a 017 store mark on the back.
In the store, all kinds of spirit stones are sealed in glass cabinets, and beautiful clerks in uniform are introducing the origin and purity of these spirit stones to customers.
Lu Yu glanced around briefly.
The grades of spirit stones are roughly divided into - spirit sand, low-grade spirit stones, medium spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.
The price also varies greatly with the grade.
The guests who came and went saw the most were those spiritual sand and low-grade spirit stones.
These prices range from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
The price of medium spirit stones is hundreds of thousands at every turn.
This is clearly not something that the ordinary class can afford.
Although Lu Yu didn't know what the purchasing power of the federal currency was in this era, just by the fact that there were no people in the Middle-grade Spirit Stone Zone, he could roughly guess that the price was probably very high.
The price of a high-grade spirit stone is even higher, even if it is the smallest high-grade spirit stone, it starts at a million, not to mention those that are larger and the best spirit stones.
On the other hand, there are few such treasures in the container, only a few scattered ones, which seem to be placed here as a faΓ§ade.
After all, martial artists who can afford to buy high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones will not come to this kind of store to buy them at all, they usually have their own special channels.
Bai Yuyao walked to the counter of the high-grade spirit stones and the best spirit stones, and waved her hand casually: "Pack all these for me." β
"Understood." The clerk didn't hesitate to pack these into a small box.
The total number is three high-grade spirit stones, and one small piece of top-grade spirit stones!
After taking these, Bai Yuyao didn't pay, turned around and left.
The clerk bowed and said, "You walk slowly." β
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, did you have the process of paying just now? Or has it already been paid?
Out of the store, Bai Yuyao explained in a low voice: "This spirit stone sales chain store is wholly owned by my family, and this spirit stone store is also under my name." β
"So?" Lu Yu was suddenly, no wonder those clerks looked at Bai Yuyao differently, I thought it was a regular customer, but I didn't expect it to be the boss!
He glanced up.
"Wouldn't all the shops here be yours?"
"Not really, but ......"
"But?"
"This building is our house, though."
ββ¦β¦β
The little rich woman deserves to be a little rich woman!
Looking at the spirit stones in his hand, Lu Yu estimated that at least before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there was no problem with his cultivation, and he could even separate some spirit stones to specialize in martial arts, transform qi and blood, and make his combat power go further!
