Although the Fia Li People were still very interested in immediately touring all of Shadow City, that was obviously unrealistic. We first had to arrange somewhere for them to stay for the foreseeable future. From the looks of it, these void peddlers had no intention of leaving Shadow City anytime soon. Filis had even started asking me about property prices here...

This tongue-twisting facility was meant for visitors from other worlds with excessively unusual life forms. Visitors from other worlds often couldn't adapt to Shadow City's ecological environment. The ecosystem here was based on Earth standards, and obviously not every race could withstand an oxygen atmosphere and an average temperature of 25°C. You couldn't exactly make them spend every day in Shadow City wearing protective suits or sitting inside Landing Craft, so we built this kind of remodeling center.

It merely granted the recipients certain adaptive functions, usually increasing their cells' tolerance or adding additional material circulation pathways to their bodies. When they decided to leave Shadow City and return home, they could also apply to be changed back. Usually, though, no
