Chapter 524: Chapter 525 Awkward
Over the next ten days or so, besides cultivating the Genetic Transformation Technique, Yang Xiao spent the rest of the time walking around. With the Transmission Array, it was very convenient to shuttle between various cities.
Yang Xiao visited all the cities, staying in each city for a day, chatting with Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, Huang Wen, and others, planning the development of the local cities.
The main cities had already utilized power generation equipment, restoring simple electricity and water supplies to meet the most basic needs of life.
The libraries of Kongming Academy and Xianan University held a large number of books, and after discussing with everyone, Yang Xiao decided that education should be gradually restored to at least carry on the knowledge of human civilization.
Those ordinary Genetic Evolvers, unable to achieve significant successes in Genetic Evolution, started turning to studying.
Yang Xiao and Xia Luo decided to select a group of ordinary Evolvers from each city to enter Nanmu City, self-study at Kongming Academy and Xianan University, and organized former university students to serve as teachers for organized learning.
Especially the students of engineering disciplines, they were encouraged to systematically organize study of modern industrial science and technology knowledge to leave some foundation for the future development of humanity.
As for what kind of technological seeds could ultimately be left behind, Yang Xiao did not have high hopes; for him, it was a matter of doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.
The modern scientific and technological civilization of humans and the mystical civilization of the mysterious planet did not conflict, each had its advantages and disadvantages, perhaps the future Earth would be a world where both civilizations coexist.
Now that the survivors were all young people, Yang Xiao also considered the issue of human reproduction.
"Young people who want to be together, should just be together, and follow the pre-apocalypse norms to form families, practice monogamy, and the logistics department in each city could specifically assign people to be responsible for registering married couples.
If there are children born, the city’s logistics should provide necessary resources for upbringing, encouraging childbirth, maybe we could hang banners in the city, like: ’For the future of humanity, let’s get married!’"
When Yang Xiao said this, it amuses everyone.
The day before going to Wentian City, Xia Luo, Gong Yu, and other people gathered in Nanmu City to see Yang Xiao off.
The next day, Yang Xiao went to Gu Bo’s Genetic Store, where Gu Bo handed him a Jade Token for the conference and opened a special transmission channel for him. Yang Xiao entered the Transmission Array, pressed the "Wentian City" in the ring of light, a flash of light appeared, and Yang Xiao disappeared.
After the apocalypse, Yang Xiao had been to Wentian City several times and was quite familiar with Gu Beifeng, the King of Wentian City.
This time, stepping out of the Transmission Array, right in front of him was the International Hotel of Wentian City.
Yang Xiao had heard from Gu Beifeng that this place was occupied by a mysterious organization, and normally others were not allowed in, similar to the Financial Building in Magic City.
Near the Transmission Array, there stood two gorgeous women, which suddenly brought Yang Xiao’s thoughts back to the last training session in Magic City, recalling the woman labeled number 25.
He wondered if he would see the number 25 woman again this time?
Yang Xiao suddenly felt a bit of expectation and excitement.
Seeing Yang Xiao walking out of the Transmission Array, the two women nodded slightly to him, and one of them asked:
"Are you here to attend the conference?"
"Yes."
"Please show your conference invitation Jade Token."
Yang Xiao took out the Jade Token given by Gu Bo and handed it to one of the women. The woman took the Jade Token, gently pressed it in her palm, a light appeared, and Yang Xiao’s identity information appeared on the Jade Token.
After verifying the information, one of the women said:
"Please follow me."
As she spoke, she headed towards the nearby International Hotel.
There were four Iron Tower Warriors near the square of the Transmission Array, and at the entrance to the hotel, besides the two Iron Tower Warriors, there was also a middle-aged man in black.
The woman escorted Yang Xiao to the entrance, handed the Jade Token to the black-clothed middle-aged man, who reverified the information in the Jade Token, glanced at Yang Xiao, and said:
"Are you Yang Xiao?"
"It is I."
The man in black said indifferently:
"Just broke through to Enhanced Gene Advanced?"
Yang Xiao was taken aback; it seemed that Gu Bo had already updated all his information in a timely manner. Nodding and smiling, he said:
"Right, I heard that all the attendees of the conference are King Level Evolvers, so I hurriedly pooled resources for a breakthrough, didn’t want to embarrass myself too much."
The man in black coldly glanced at Yang Xiao and said:
"Heh, even if you’ve temporarily broken through to Enhanced Gene Advanced, the result will be the same. I don’t know what Gu Bo sees in you, insisting on strongly recommending you to attend the conference. Alright, go into the hotel; someone inside will take care of you."
Yang Xiao: "..."
Damn, I got ridiculed even before stepping in the door, looking down on me?
Yang Xiao, not wanting to bother, suppressed his temper and took out his Jade Token.
The man in black waved his hand to the two Iron Tower Warriors guarding the entrance, and they opened the great doors.
Yang Xiao stepped through the entrance, and the two Iron Tower Warriors immediately closed the doors behind him.
The interior of the Wentian City’s International Hotel was as luxuriously decorated as before the apocalypse, glittering with gold and luster, though the lobby was empty except for the two Iron Tower Warriors and two glamorous women.
One of the women approached, asked a few simple questions, and then led Yang Xiao into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Yang Xiao glanced at the nameplate in front of the woman, which read the number "368," so he asked:
"Is woman number 25 here?"
The woman blinked, looked up at Yang Xiao warily, and replied coolly:
"We don’t have a number 25 here."
Yang Xiao persisted:
"Do you know number 25 from Magic City?"
"I don’t know her."
The woman said coldly.
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and the woman led Yang Xiao out of the elevator, directly to the entrance of a hall where two Iron Tower Warriors and two glamorous women also stood.
The woman told Yang Xiao:
"You can go in by yourself."
After speaking, she turned and left.
Yang Xiao walked to the entrance, took out his Identity Jade Token for verification, and one of the women opened the door, gesturing that Yang Xiao could enter by himself.
"Damn, no sense of service at all, nothing like the warmth last time in Magic City. It seems the service industry in Wentian City needs improvement."
Yang Xiao cursed inwardly as he walked into the hall.
When the doors opened and Yang Xiao entered the hall, he was momentarily stunned.
The hall was a buffet restaurant, and at the moment, dozens of people were dining there, all lifting their heads to look towards the entrance. Seeing it was Yang Xiao, many were taken aback.
Yang Xiao casually glanced around and recognized most of the faces, but their expressions seemed rather cold, not very enthusiastic.
Yang Xiao raised his hand and said:
"Hello everyone, long time no see!"
Embarrasingly for Yang Xiao, not many responded to his greeting; only two people nodded at him.
Yang Xiao’s smile froze; this was really too awkward.
