[Death]

[Death by Electric Shock; Death by Toxin; Euthanasia; Death by Steel Blade]

Inside the back door of the gold store, Li Yang, sitting on a chair, flipped through the wristwatch he held. It only had three menus: [Remind], [Punish], and [Death].

Each category contained several functions. Li Yang looked at them one by one, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes again. He hadn't expected that this small steel ring could integrate so many functions.

"A Slavery Collar specifically customized for slaves..."

Li Yang pondered inwardly, gaining new insights into this world.

Since such a thing existed, it proved that... slavery might already be a prevalent thing in this world.

And judging from the panicked expression of the man who had been fitted with the Slavery Collar, becoming a slave was probably not something easily accepted.

'How cruel...'

Li Yang's heart stirred. He then thought for a moment and focused on the first function menu on the watch, [Remind], specifically on [Brainwave Information Communication].

It seemed the information technology in this world had already reached the level of easily communicating with people using brainwaves...

Looking at the wristwatch, Li Yang also considered whether or not to make contact with this suddenly appearing 'slave'.

"How good these two tubes of potion are is entirely based on what the two people I traded with told me. What the truth is, I don't know."

"Moreover, whether it's these two tubes of potion or the 'High-Tech Table' obtained earlier, someone needs to identify and explain them to me."

Even if these two tubes of Genetic Potion were real, there was still a question that had to be considered: this potion was certainly made based on the genes of humans in this world. As someone from another world, could he use it?

Although on the surface, in language, and in culture, everything was the same, genes were something where a slight difference could lead to a huge error.

What if it was a divine potion for evolution for the people of this world, but a fatal poison for him? That would be terrible.

Therefore, having a way to test and determine if he could use it was also very important.

And how to find such a method? Having a native-born person from this world do it, even a vagrant, would be better than him, who only had a superficial understanding of this world and was from another.

And... a slave controlled by a collar seemed to be able to guarantee a certain level of safety.

Considering this, Li Yang tentatively pressed the first [Brainwave Information Communication]. The next moment, the wristwatch quickly tightened on Li Yang's arm, and at the same time, an inexplicable sense of mental linkage appeared in his mind.

Realizing that all focused thoughts at this moment would be converted into information and transmitted to the man wearing the Slavery Collar's mind, Li Yang stopped the various thoughts that were emerging in his heart and tentatively asked, "Can you hear me?"

[I can hear you, I can hear you. I'm truly wronged, sir. I swear it was only because my weapon was damaged and my only means of transportation was out of fuel that I had no way to go to the base to buy food to eat, causing me to unintentionally encounter your trade while waiting here for adventurers to exchange food.]

"I don't want to know about your affairs. Do you have companions, and what kind of help can you provide me? This is what I want to know."

Li Yang frowned, using his thoughts to interrupt the other party's voice and directly inputting his own ideas.

[Sir, I... I have a woman in my residence. She understands basic electronic communication engineering. If you have some gadgets that encounter small problems, she can help you repair them.]

The brainwave information transmitted from the other side was still full of helplessness and fear. After hearing Li Yang's words, he quickly restrained his thoughts and transmitted brainwaves to him, saying.

"Oh? You understand this? Then what is this?"

At this time, Li Yang, who was initially getting used to brainwave communication, had slowly grasped the techniques for using this method. He thought of the image of the 'High-Tech Table' he had moved home earlier, transmitted it to the other party as if sending a picture on a phone, and suddenly asked silently.

[This... this seems to be the latest generation of professional computing power device developed before the apocalypse. I heard its computing power is very strong, but I didn't pay attention to the specifics. However, my woman might know something. Before the apocalypse, she liked to study these things the most.]

[As you know, sir... after the apocalypse, people like me who are struggling to eat don't have the energy to research these things, so... but I can ask her for you right away.]

An uncertain voice came from the communicator. Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he nodded silently. "Do you have a way to contact her?"

[I have a brainwave communicator with me.]

"Since that's the case, then ask."

After Li Yang finished speaking, he quietly waited for the man's reply. With a slight movement of his eyes, he had already reactivated the drone and was controlling it to fly to the floor where the man was located to monitor him.

Before long, the drone arrived, and the figure of the thin man sitting on the rooftop immediately appeared on the screen. He saw the other party placing a fingernail-sized object on his temple, and a light screen actually appeared out of thin air in front of his brain, showing the figure of a woman, like a video call.

Before Li Yang could look more, the light screen disappeared. The man, leaning against the protruding wall on the rooftop, rubbed his neck and sent Li Yang a brainwave communication.

[Sir, my wife just checked. This is indeed the most advanced computing equipment from fifteen years ago, but it is now very outdated. The commonly used computing equipment has iterated ten times, and currently, besides city ruins, this type of equipment cannot be found on the market at all. Its computing power only reached three hundred quadrillion calculations per second.]

Only three hundred quadrillion calculations per second?

...Is this thing a computer?

Oh no, compared to Earth... it's a Supercomputing Platform!

A hint of brilliance appeared in Li Yang's eyes, and his heart rate quickened slightly. He knew those tables weren't simple, but he didn't expect... that they were Supercomputing Platforms this small!

Even the top Supercomputing Platforms on Earth weren't that powerful, were they?

"Do you know how to use it?"

With his heart rate quickening, Li Yang controlled this feeling and calmly continued to transmit information to the other side.

[My woman knows how to operate it, I don't.]

A wry smile appeared on the face of the man on the screen. Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, have her prepare a detailed usage document for me. Also, have her bring me a... Radiation Contamination Detector."

[Yes, Master. However, my Mobile Exoskeleton Armor was damaged by the previous Master and is somewhat malfunctioning. Please allow me to have her come here and bring the items for you.]

The sound of the automatic brainwave conversion reached his ears. Li Yang hummed in affirmation and, using the drone's perspective, watched the man continue to use the metal-plate-like communicator to contact the woman from before.

This world seems to have experienced severe nuclear contamination. Even the contamination in this city has only been reduced to a very low level, which means there's still nuclear contamination...

Could it be... on me?

A flash of worry crossed his mind. Li Yang then thought of the pile of 'High-Tech Tables', or rather... Single-Desk Sized Supercomputers, that he had moved to the residential building.

If each one of that large pile was contaminated, then gathered together...

On the other hand, the exoskeleton armor the other party mentioned only slightly piqued Li Yang's interest.

In a world like this, having exoskeleton armor didn't seem that strange
