A bunch of bad guys? By afternoon, Yang Bo understood that this Space Button was still in its early stages. It could only store specific things. Like this mecha button—it could only store that particular mecha and nothing else.
It was said that the mecha was made from special Energy Metal and paired with the Energy Stone inside the Space Button. Dimensional Modification Company had not revealed much else, since it was confidential. Plenty of people had seen it, but visits required reservations. Yang Bo had failed to get one, and there were no openings for the next several days either.
Moreover, the applications for this Space Technology were still extremely limited. Third Generation Mecha could barely use it, while more advanced models involved composite materials and biomaterials, areas where no breakthrough had yet been made.
Dimensional Modification Company's stock price surged wildly. Many called it a major breakthrough in spatial utilization, but others worried it would worsen security risks. If a criminal organization suddenly released a mecha in the middle of a busy city, that would be quite a spectacle.
Some experts even claimed that this technology had to be regulated by the Alliance, or its spread would be extremely dangerous.
Seeing this, Yang Bo seemed to see those shameless people back on Earth. Whenever someone else had something good, they wanted to snatch it for themselves.
He had done nothing all day except watch the excitement. When he arrived at the exhibition hall that night, he found it filthy.
"Doesn't seem all that special?" Yang Bo snapped his fingers and carefully examined the Blade Mecha before him. During the day, the massive mecha had been demonstrated being put away and taken out.
Yang Bo got to work. Unlike usual, there were many more mecha police outside the exhibition hall tonight, because media outlets had swarmed in from all over.
Cleaning was much harder today. Perhaps because there were so many people around, Yang Bo felt that the other mechas looked better. The Blade Mecha was just average.
After finishing the cleaning, Yang Bo read the introduction himself. It was definitely black technology—so black it could not get any blacker.
After work, he went home. Yang Bo would not touch those mechas. He had no desire to become famous. Better to keep a low profile and grow stronger.
Over the next several days, the matter continued to ferment. At night, private spaceships could be seen descending one after another, trailing streaks of light.
Aside from watching the excitement on the first day, Yang Bo continued his Sonic Attack training afterward. One day, after waking from a nap, he decided to visit the other high-tech exhibition halls. He had managed to book a time slot, and admission was free with a reservation.
However, the exhibition hall he was responsible for had been fully booked until the end of the exhibition.
Dome Entertainment City was a massive structure six hundred meters in diameter and more than five hundred meters tall. It was the best all-around concert venue on the entire planet.
The entertainment city contained all kinds of luxury goods and all sorts of fun attractions. Yang Bo had never had a chance to enter before.
That was because he had once been a pig, living off the Alliance's free benefits. If people like that entered or left high-end venues, they would be attacked by the opposition party to the Ruling Party. It was somewhat like those policies where households classified as impoverished were not allowed to own cars.
Now that Yang Bo was no longer a pig, he could enter freely. Still, he preferred looking at things like mechas. Luxury goods were not his thing.
He entered an exhibition hall displaying all kinds of mecha components. Batteries, Antimatter Batteries—they looked like the rectangular suitcases from Earth. Their shapes could be customized, and they could provide abundant power continuously. It was said that they could last for three hundred years, making them ideal for extraterrestrial Mining Robot mechas.
Laser Swords, seven or eight meters long!
A new generation of optical computers! After making a full round, Yang Bo felt completely lost. He had no idea what those figures represented. His education was not up to the task.
After entering Dome Entertainment City, Yang Bo wandered around, enjoying the natural, gentle breeze. It came from the building's ventilation system.
"Tsk, tsk." There was a shop selling Bionic Robots. Wealthy people could buy their children a companion, while single men could buy themselves a partner. It was protected by Alliance law, even more outrageous than America's hundred-plus genders.
Precisely because the Alliance used a federal parliamentary system, it had enacted many bizarre policies and laws.
"Hm?" Yang Bo reached the center of Dome Entertainment City and looked down at the scenery below. Suddenly, a person on the floor beneath him gave him an odd feeling.
The person was a middle-aged man with golden hair. He looked handsome, but Yang Bo felt that he was somehow fake.
"Disguise?" Yang Bo frowned slightly. He had encountered this feeling before.
The man seemed to be looking outside, perhaps gazing up at the starry sky. Then he suddenly turned around and looked at his surroundings. At that moment, there were people everywhere, packed densely together.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The man's action surprised the staff here, and one of them approached to ask.
"Thank you, but no." The man answered with a smile, giving off a sunny impression.
Yang Bo had already left. But not long after, he spotted another blond middle-aged man who gave him the same dangerous and artificial feeling. This man was also an older handsome man.
"Are those two together?" For no apparent reason, Yang Bo had the feeling that the man from before and this man were companions.
These guys shouldn't be after me, should they? Yang Bo muttered inwardly, then left Dome Entertainment City.
It was getting late, and Yang Bo prepared to return to his residential community. There were more people on the streets now, and the community itself had become much busier as well, because many tourists had come to rent apartments here.
Damn it, they can't really be after me, can they? A young man named Red Hair casually glanced at Yang Bo, and Yang Bo immediately sensed that something was wrong.
This Red Hair guy was with the people Yang Bo had seen in Dome Entertainment City. His walk, smile, movements, and demeanor all looked fake from start to finish.
Red Hair glanced at Yang Bo and muttered inwardly, Someone is actually willing to pay a high price to capture this kind of trash? Do they really think us Red Earl are scrap collectors? I'll capture this guy first and see what's so special about him.
Red Hair left the community gate and looked toward Dome Entertainment City in the distance with a smile. That place would be his stage. Watching the people passing by, Red Hair revealed a charming smile.
"I wonder if these people will regret coming here once they learn what is about to happen. I'm really looking forward to the helpless, despairing expressions in their lamb-like eyes." With that charming smile, Red Hair walked toward Dome Entertainment City.
Yang Bo returned home with an unpleasant expression. Although he was not entirely certain that they were after him, he had to be cautious.
Do I need to run? Too bad I only have resident status, otherwise I'd buy a ticket and leave immediately. Yang Bo frowned slightly.
"Move?"
"Not a good idea. Anzhi Clean Company has a powerful background. Private places might not necessarily be safe. Gene Evolvers are too abnormal—who knows what abilities they might have?"
"What should I do?"
"What should I do? Call the police?"
Just then, Liu Zhijie called.
"Yang Bo, come to the company. There's something good," Liu Zhijie said directly.
