As the trade center of the entire west coast, the City of Progress shoulders the responsibility of linking the east and west continents.
Economic prosperity has led to the development of the entire city, including steam locomotives, tinted glass, electric lights, muskets...
These rare gadgets are unique to the City of Progress.
In the center of the city, land is at a premium and there are many high-rise buildings. An extremely wealthy company has sole proprietorship of an entire office building for office use.
A huge plaque hangs high——The Heavenly Thieves Alliance!
A world-class underground organization operates in such a grand manner, which shows the inclusiveness of the progressive city.

The general manager frowned and said, "Hasn't Mo Du sent back the news yet?"
"The last message from Tongxincao: 'Bruce has been rescued and the fruit is in hand.' After that, no news was sent back."
"The security of the Great Glacier is so tight that even Qian Huan Ji Mo Du can be captured."
Human Resources Department: "If we redeem them, the company's liquidity will be tight."
Sales Department: "Two misses in a row... If this kind of news spreads, it will be a devastating blow to the company's credibility. I'm afraid it will lose many high-end customers..."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said sadly: "In fact, as long as you pay part of the ransom of the two, you can hire a good killer. Not to mention saving a lot of money, the reputation of the Thieves Alliance can also be preserved."
"It makes sense, I agree!"
"This is a good move..."
"It would be even more perfect if we could recover the Rainbow Fruit by the way."
"The Thief Alliance specializes in infiltration and infiltration. It would be better if we outsource this kind of thing."
The general manager muttered: "I already have a candidate in mind, and I will handle this matter myself."
Champs Elysees Hotel.
The top gold-selling cave in the City of Progress is specially tailored for minorities.
Just staying for one night will consume several years of ordinary people's income. If you order some services...
Arriving at the largest presidential suite, the voices of laughter were noisy and wanton.
On a huge 20-square-meter waterbed, a fat man was hugging him from left to right. The scene was very inappropriate for children.
As soon as he saw the general manager walking in, the fat man picked up three tall bottles of tequila between his fingers, raised his head and said it all.
The general manager's brows jumped when he saw it. It was 750 ml of fortified liquor. Even if he drank half of the bottle, he would be unconscious. This guy actually drank three bottles in one go and still looked normal.
"Mr. Haru, how does it feel to be in a progressive city?"
The fat man smacked his mouth, the taste of the drink was so refreshing that he didn't even bother to answer.
"The Champs Elysees hotel is not cheap, is it? How much money does Mr. Haru have to spend?"
As soon as he heard about the cost, the fat man finally cheered up and slowly stood up from the bed.
The towering mountain of meat lay in front of him, and its mere shadow completely enveloped the general manager.
Seeing the fat man's unsmiling expression, his fear continued to rise.
The general manager shouted with all his strength: "I have a big deal here!"
Haru's lips curled up: "It turned out to be a gift. You should have told me earlier."
"Kill two people for me and bring back a few things. I'll pay you... 200,000 beli!"
"Don't bother me next time for such a small business! Get out!"
"No, no, no, three hundred thousand...five hundred thousand!"
The general manager gritted his teeth and said: "1 million!"
"Hey, please take a seat. This price means you are a distinguished guest. What would you like to drink? I'll buy it."
General manager:……
This Haru is very important. According to rumors, he was born on the roof of the world.
He is the strongest warrior of the Kurk tribe, and is respected by the tribe as...
The reincarnation of Shakti and Indra!
In the entire City of Progress, I have never seen anyone who can withstand a single move in Haru's hands.
The general manager couldn't hide his smile. If Haru is there, even Xifeng will never be his opponent!

…
Zhang Wei continued to obtain information from Mo Du, and the price was just a meal.
According to Mo Du, the Ice Hell Plain where the Great Glacier is located is in the "courtyard" and is a bridge between the human world and the food world.
The human world is prosperous, with a population of tens of billions and numerous countries.
The currency used is called Bailey, which is a round metal currency with great purchasing power.
For example, ordinary rice and flour grains only require one-sixteenth of the pele, and the meat of chickens, ducks and other poultry is about one-quarter of the pele per kilogram.
Ingredients with capture level are expensive.
Taking Garonne tiger bones as an example, the price per kilogram is as high as 30 beli, which is nearly a hundred times the price of ordinary food ingredients. One Garonne tiger has 500 kilograms of bones.
Zhang Wei vaguely remembered that the daily wage of laborers was 7 beli, which was already an extremely high salary.
The average migrant worker only has about 4 beli.
After obtaining the power of transformation, Zhang Weiqin practiced more.
Since the skill itself is based on the ‘food disappear’ that Zhang Wei has mastered, it is much easier to learn if you have some basics.
Different from the forced suppression of food, the art of transformation pays more attention to precise control, even the texture, color, spots and wrinkles of the skin are included.
According to Mo Du, advanced people can even induce hair growth.
In the deserted dormitory, Zhang Wei was tall and straight for a while, short and stooped for a while, and he was having a great time playing.
After Zhang Wei's experiments, the minimum height can be as low as about 1.55 meters, and it can expand to 3.5 meters if you let go of all your strength.
The size limit depends on the technology on the one hand, and the total amount of energy in the body on the other hand.
The more energy it is, the harder it is to become smaller, and the less energy it is, the harder it is to become larger.
As for Jiro, the master of acupuncture, a small amount of energy release can turn him into a giant, and releasing all the energy has the effect of rejuvenating people.
Of course, Zhang Wei's own skills are still far behind.
On the desk, there are more than a dozen books, all of which Zhang Wei took from the library that day.
Compared with the art of transformation, martial arts progress is very slow due to lack of practical practice.
"If you want to practice martial arts, you must sneak out of the glacier."
Zhang Wei was able to cut through a glacier a few months ago, but now he can't even imagine it.
Considering the current security force, digging tunnels is the most stable method.
Fortunately, the solid frozen soil and ice were like tofu in front of Zhang Wei, so digging with bare hands was effortless.
The excavated ice soil is stored directly in the collection hall. The space in the collection hall is enough anyway.
After digging nearly a hundred meters deep, the soil in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Wei fell straight out.
"I'll do it!"
"There is a cave under the big glacier?"
At this time, Zhang Wei was in a long and narrow cavity, and bursts of fluorescent reflections allowed Zhang Wei to see the entire space clearly.
The temperature here is also much warmer, almost above freezing.
"Look at the stalactites and stalagmites here. This should be a naturally formed cave. As for the fluorescence, it should be some luminous moss."
"The humidity is very heavy, and there is water flowing in the low-lying areas..."
"Is this the underground river of the Great Glacier?"
