Order and Disorder

"Go to Lion City? It's a lawless zone, I wouldn't dare go alone.

In novels, changing maps brings danger but also opportunities, but I only have one life. Wouldn't rashly going to Lion City be seeking death?

According to Samad, Kuala Lumpur is clearly a city of very low importance in Alpha's global governance system. There's absolutely no gene editing technology in this godforsaken place.

The question is, do I have to research this technology in the future?

Why can't I research gene editing technology in the modern timeline and then sell it in the future timeline?

Since the future's theories have advanced to such a profound level, I can personally lead the implementation of these theories in the modern era. Whether it's improving abilities or extending lifespan, the technology can be monetized in both the modern and future timelines simultaneously.

It might not be as easy to monetize in the future timeline, considering Alpha, but it should be easy in the modern timeline.

With the title of a top scientist and sufficient clinical trials, I can keep pushing for the implementation of this technology."

The wealthiest doctor in the modern timeline is Chen Songxiong, who developed anti-cancer drugs. If anti-cancer drugs are like this, let alone gene editing that can extend lifespan.

"There's another problem, and that is this technology is too valuable, I might not be able to keep it.

I don't necessarily have to keep it. I can share the profits with others, as long as I maintain most of the control over the resources I gain in return. I can continue to advance this technology and apply it to myself.

This way, I can also achieve my goal.

Considering this isn't a physical transmigration, I also need to quickly acquire resources in the future timeline, at least a biology laboratory completely under my control.

For such a biology laboratory to do gene editing, I still have to go to Lion City. This means that no matter what, I can't avoid going to Lion City." Chen Yuanguang felt a headache.

No matter what, he would eventually have to go to Lion City to transform himself into a super human.

"But thankfully, this isn't that urgent. I still have time to plan slowly."

"Yuanguang, are you still taking that literature history class?" As usual, Shi Huilan came to find him for dinner in the evening.

The cafeteria here is inside the dormitory building. Each floor has a separate dining area. The food you order is delivered to you at the scheduled time.

The meals Chen Yuanguang and Shi Huilan ordered were clearly different from the free meals provided by the school.

The free meals provided by the school were similar to nutritional paste, and the taste was even worse than the nutritional paste issued by the government.

However, the Chinese food ordered by Chen Yuanguang and Shi Huilan was comparable to the level of a Michelin three-star chef from his previous life. The only thing Chen Yuanguang found regrettable was that the taste of the same dish was exactly the same every time he ate it.

This chef was clearly a machine, not a real person. It wouldn't have the fluctuations in skill that a real person would.

A real Michelin three-star chef's performance fluctuates between 95 and 105 points, while a machine's performance is always 105 points.

This was good, but Chen Yuanguang felt that his old-era thinking hadn't changed. He felt that this lacked soul.

It was like printed text from a printer; some people would feel it was inferior to handwritten text by a real person.

Chen Yuanguang ate and nodded. There were quite a few people in the restaurant, but very few like them sitting at a table together.

Every time Chen Yuanguang came, he thought to himself that the atomization here was much stronger than in the modern timeline. People were spontaneously atomized.

"Yes, I find it quite interesting, and Professor Samad is also very interesting."

Shi Huilan first frowned, then relaxed her brows: "It seems you are indeed very interested in literature history. Taking Samad's class won't help you become a professor, and he's a bit eccentric.

He believes the world he interprets is the real world, one layer deeper. Alpha isn't as sinister as he says. From the bottom up, Alpha has brought order to the entire world, and the lower class has security.

Of course, any form of society has its shortcomings. The order that Samad advocates, the one before the Third World War, would have far more shortcomings than the present.

You just need to play Age of War to experience this.

For most individuals before the Third World War, modern society is simply paradise.

Moreover, if the order before the Third World War was really that good, why doesn't Samad go to Lion City? Lion City is still in a relatively primitive state."

Shi Huilan's stance was diametrically opposed to Samad's, and her disdain was evident.

Chen Yuanguang didn't care who was right or wrong between the two of them. He just found the pouting loli in front of him a little cute. If he hadn't thought of Lin Jia, he would have even reached out to wipe the grain of rice off Shi Huilan's cheek.

If the setting were Tokyo, Shi Huilan could definitely be the female lead in his novels.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuanguang quickly grasped the key point: "Lion City? I also heard Samad mention Lion City today.

Isn't Lion City a no-man's-land? Lion City is very close to us, so why is it basically not mentioned in our general education classes?"

Shi Huilan's eyelashes fluttered: "Why else? Because Lion City is very dangerous, so they try not to mention it there to prevent people from becoming curious.

You should have heard of the concept of cyberpunk if you've studied literary history. That cursed place, Lion City, is now a cyberpunk world. The branches of the mega-corporations there live in debauchery, while the people at the bottom barely survive. To live, they either become experimental subjects for the mega-corporations or harm each other at the bottom.

As a result, the birth rate is low, and it's difficult for normally born infants to grow into adults if they aren't sent to welfare institutions. Including Lion City, the population of these enclaves is entirely maintained by the mega-corporations' artificial womb technology."

After speaking, anger showed in Shi Huilan's beautiful eyes.

Chen Yuanguang asked curiously, "Then why doesn't Alpha take over them?"

Shi Huilan said, "This is a tragic story. It's too long to tell from the beginning, but I can give you a brief overview.

Alpha's takeover requires a public referendum. The first public referendum on this matter undoubtedly failed.

Why did it fail? Because Thailand, controlled by Alpha, opened the Kra Canal, and a large amount of sea transport goes through the Kra Canal instead of the Strait of Malacca. Coupled with Alpha's dimensionality reduction strike on the financial industry, Lion City suddenly fell from a developed country to an underdeveloped region, completely losing its regional advantage.

The Lion City people's dislike of Alpha is due to their interests. After the first few referendums failed, the influence of the mega-corporations slowly infiltrated Lion City, and Lion City gradually became what it is today.

The next referendum is in ten years, and I estimate it won't be much better. That place is too heavily controlled by the mega-corporations.

Mega-corporations have to listen to Alpha elsewhere, but in Lion City, they can do as they please. They clearly don't want to change the status quo."
