South District

The geographical location of Infinite City is a centrally Fractal Diagram structure. At the very center is a towering tower, of unknown height, called the High Tower of Tower of Babylon. Surrounding this High Tower is a modern community known as the Residential Area.

In the four cardinal directions of the community, there are four huge Garbage Dump, each nearly the size of a city. These four Garbage Dump are the original source of materials for Infinite City.

The vast land of Infinite City today was transformed from the original Garbage Dump that absorbed and processed garbage from other worlds, and the original inhabitants of Infinite City were all born from here.

Before arriving here, Feng Xue thought it was just a larger, more powerful ordinary Landfill Area, but when he actually stepped into the South Landfill Area, he realized how limited his imagination was.

Unlike ordinary Landfill Area, this place doesn't have high walls or Giant Egg. Instead, it has a very complex and exaggerated multi-layered structure. After passing through some kind of barrier, you can see a huge, towering mountain with a jumble of colors, which looks like it's made of countless piles of garbage.

Around this "mountain," countless ring roads and bizarre buildings form a cluster of buildings that don't look very sturdy. These buildings utilize space to a new level, so that even though this Landfill Area is not much larger than other Landfill Area, it can house dozens or even hundreds of times more people.

Between these buildings and the ring road, all kinds of Transportation Tool travel back and forth. Occasionally, you can see flying equipment of all sizes that can take off and land vertically and hover in the air. If it weren't for the map on the work badge showing that this place is called "South City Garbage Disposal Center", Feng Xue would even doubt whether she had bypassed the so-called four major Landfill Area and come to the legendary Residential Area.

If a typical Landfill Area is like a third-tier village or town, then this Landfill Area is undoubtedly a mega-city with a dense population like Tokyo.

"This is really a bit punk..." Looking at the city, which looks like a "youthful version of a Dyson sphere" built around a mountain, I couldn't help but exclaim.

Feng Xue, who had stored most of the Phantom Object in the "Sealed Golden Cabinet" outside the city before even entering, was now dressed only in a Scavenger Set, perfectly embodying the principle of keeping his wealth hidden. However, he soon realized that he seemed to have done something foolish, because after walking onto the lower streets, he discovered that almost everyone passing by had one or two Phantom Object on them, except for the children...

Etc!

Child?!

Feng Xue's eyes widened suddenly; this was the first time he had ever seen a child in Infinite City!

Although, in theory, unruly children can be considered the world's trash, at least during the several days he passed through Garbage Day, he didn't see any children at all.

If we follow normal mortality patterns, this ratio is clearly abnormal. Either Infinite City only sends children to the four primitive Landfill Area, or...

These children were born in the Infinite City.

Does Mu, the creature of Infinite City, also have reproductive capabilities?

Thinking about this issue, Feng Xue first considered her own actions of supporting the Gynomorphic Filter," confirming that she still had such desires. Then she remembered that Old Li had mentioned something like " the Landlord's Silly Son Experience Life " before.

At the time, he thought it was just a common metaphor, but now it seems that it might really refer to the descendants of a powerful figure in the Residential Area.

That makes sense, though. According to Old Li, Infinite City has been around for decades. Let alone one or two generations, the third generation is probably old enough to be running errands by now. As for why there are no children in the other Landfill Area, just think about the mortality rate and you'll understand.

Shaking off the distracting thoughts in her mind, Feng Xue walked along, pondering whether she should retrieve the Phantom Object, but ultimately decided to gather some information first.

Logically speaking, a city with such a punk vibe shouldn't lack [Novice Instructor], and everything should be much easier once you find them.

Unfortunately, after entering the Landfill Area, Feng Xue hasn't encountered anyone who has approached her.

After a moment's thought, he simply took out his employee ID and dialed Old Li's number directly.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, judging by the time, you should be in South District, right? Hmm, maybe Xishan District?"

Old Li's lazy voice came from the employee ID card, Feng Xue felt a moment of embarrassment at being seen through, but she still said:

"This place isn't quite what I expected. I thought I'd run into some Novice Guide as soon as I walked in!"

"I'm also wondering why you didn't just ask someone locally. I initially thought you were trying to save on intelligence fees."

Old Li muttered a joke, then, as if he had thought of something, said helplessly:

"Hey, you didn't hide the Phantom Object and come into the city dressed in work clothes, did you?"

"Um, is something wrong?" Feng Xue seemed to have guessed something, and Old Li was even more direct:

"It's partly my fault, but even if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me unless you saw it with your own eyes, right? Anyway, the four major Landfill Area are different from the outer Landfill Area. Here, Phantom Object are standard equipment. If you don't bring any Phantom Object, people will think you're a poor wretch who runs to the four major Landfill Area without knowing anything, and even the Novice Guide won't bother doing business with you."

"So realistic? Hmm, like how wearing gold and silver in a small village makes you an easy target for thieves, while wearing cheap clothes in a big city makes you look down upon?" Feng Xue genuinely hadn't expected such a huge difference between these so-called four major Landfill Area and ordinary Landfill Area. Old Li chuckled softly upon hearing this.

"What you said isn't wrong, but the main reason is probably the sense of crisis. The ordinary Landfill Area are stricter in checking for Phantom Object, mainly because the managers who have been sent down are relatively poor and not very strong. If someone has one or two powerful Phantom Object, they could very well squeeze out the other person's position. Although the Residential Area will soon have a stronger person take back the managerial authority, the person who lost their position will definitely not be able to get such a good job again. And those who can be managers in the four major Landfill Area are considered experts in the Residential Area, and one or two Phantom Object cannot make up for the gap."

At this point, Old Li abruptly First Turn his tone, speaking in a much more serious manner than before:

"Besides, in the four Landfill Area, Phantom Object are not just about wealth and power, but also necessities for survival. You may have noticed that the Landfill Area you are in has no walls. This is not because Omen don't attack Landfill Area, but because there are more Omen in the Garbage Mountain than in the wild. Without Phantom Object for protection, you don't even have the right to scavenge."
