Chapter 1048: Chapter 821: Growing Vegetables in the Sky_2

If the Domination Movement had been established eight years earlier, I probably would have joined them right after being dismissed. Xu Yang thought to himself. They indeed set their target on rallying those who are discontent in the corporate world.

It seems that the remnants of the Black Fire Innovation forces also drifted towards the Domination Movement, providing them with enterprise-level military guidance and training services.

"The company’s security department lacks interest in tracking these ’Domination Movements’," Lila said.

"Because they haven’t yet had the capacity to launch attacks on the truly giant corporations, their current offensives are limited to striking at small and medium-sized enterprises... instead forming a scenario of lower and middle levels opposing each other, which the conglomerates are happy to see, as it in no way affects their secure position..." Xu Yang pondered.

The Domination Movement continues to expand its influence, with branches appearing in the Taixi Continent, West Coast, Near East, Jialong Slope, and the Taiya Archipelago.

Their slogan is highly appealing to those living in poverty and suffering, and they organize "battle plans" through encrypted channels. If someone performs meritoriously in combat, they are immediately promoted within the organization, gaining more support—it’s an organization that grows as rapidly as a virus.

Xu Yang flipped through another report.

The so-called "Blackstone Market" is a company that almost monopolizes underground transactions and black market trade, operating within unknown concealed communication and trading networks.

Mercenary organizations, information thieves, and digital criminals all conduct their trades through the Blackstone Market. Over time, the Blackstone Market has become a leading force in the underworld, with its own armed forces being exceptionally skilled.

The world is really changing day by day. Xu Yang thought. Old forces retreat, and new challengers take the stage. Fortunately, they are currently only active overseas, while the Northern Archipelago remains stable and peaceful, presenting a rare scene of prosperity.

As for himself, today he only had the thought of farming. Complex plans and great missions could take a break; Xu Yang also needed rest.

"Oh oh!"

"Victory!" The children’s shouts echoed in their house.

Xu Yang and Lila went over to check, finding them watching the extreme baseball game in the Northern Archipelago.

Sports once fell silent due to the abuse of artificial intelligence and implants, but in recent years, new rules emerged and advanced implant leagues have been established.

This time, there was no dispute over installing implants or not, because every player was a super remodeled human sponsored all over.

The entire baseball field was fortified, the stands were crowded, and the audience cheered as baseball players ran at a speed of 25 meters per second, sprinting like phantoms in the field, easily refreshing the limits of humanity from the old era. The sports achievements that humans of the old era struggled to reach seemed like childish challenge records to these implant-enhanced individuals.

Every strike became a contest between pitchers and catchers with nerve reflex implants; personal experience differences became trivial before the technical gap of implants, and even subjective slow-time implants became standard.

Humans were no longer athletes but carriers of advanced implants!

They might as well just let invincible robots take over; selecting human players by force was only to satisfy the psychological needs of human spectators. Xu Yang felt uneasy about it.

If synthetics have their own needs in the future, then sports competitions would truly become performance contests for machines, not stuck as they are now in an intermediate state.

Even though Xu Yang had his criticisms, the revived sports league still garnered much attention.

"Just whoosh—" Xu Cheng stood up and gestured with his short arms, "The ball is coming our way!"

Xu Cheng was now excited, becoming increasingly interested in new things, with different preferences every day.

"It flew up into the clouds, almost hit us, and I saw our ship captured on camera! Right above the stadium!" Bubble exclaimed excitedly.

Speaking of implants, Xu Yang thought of visiting Nidelaide.

"...You really should go see Nidelaide; he adopted a ’special witch’ this year," Lila reminded him.

A special witch? Xu Yang was intrigued.

The Divine Radiance was extremely fast; they headed to Nidelaide’s new factory in the Shangjing Industrial Park. Xu Yang saw Nidelaide and his assistant Vierre in the office.

"Wow, fake people and fake hands everywhere," Xu Cheng glanced around curiously, touching this and that.

Bubble followed Vierre to make tea.

Nidelaide eagerly showcased some of his new designs to Xu Yang. He had inherited Cui Junyou’s resources and status, and his influence within the Nestor Corporation continued to rise.

"More and more people are getting implants; by this year, 75% of people have undergone human modification, and only a quarter of ’primitive humans’ remain," Nidelaide announced happily.

He displayed some new kits about to hit the market, maintaining very low prices as always, aiming to allow everyone to benefit from the convenience of modification.

"Memory Enhancement Chip": Significantly boosts memory capacity, allowing everything seen and heard within 30 seconds after activation to be stored completely in the chip’s fast memory, retrievable anytime and anywhere.

"Reality Enhanced Retina": Replaced retinal receptors allowing real-time scanning when looking at anything, displaying additional information about the target item before your eyes. When looking at people, it can quickly detect if they’re carrying sharp objects or weapons.

"Subcutaneous Health Tracking Kit": Monitors heart rate, blood pressure, diseases, etc., with the highest precision and update rate, running daily health checks. It also tracks the installer’s physical condition. If shot, beaten, or in a car accident, it immediately contacts the installer’s designated security package and sends information to the nearest security and emergency units, requesting timely rescue support, potentially saving lives when necessary.

"Feels... not as good as wearable smart devices, like smart bracelets," Xu Yang held a conservative attitude.

"Mr. Xu, you yourself are the biggest beneficiary of implants," Nidelaide reminded.

"I did it for work needs, but most people, ordinary people, are just forced to upgrade themselves because they can’t find jobs without intelligence enhancement or memory enhancement, and can’t participate in sports without power and reflex enhancement. I think this is more of a social issue; people could originally rely on their innate abilities and knowledge to secure their place, but now it’s become that without modification, they can’t even find work, let alone gain a foothold... it’s quite strange," Xu Yang shook his head.

Bubble and Xu Cheng chatted happily as they walked to the side, having seemingly met a new friend.

Xu Yang glanced over and saw a young little witch playing on the ground.

That back...

He knew it all too well. Xu Yang went over to check the girl Nidelaide had adopted, that particularly young witch. He felt a sense of disorientation.

As if due to fluctuations in the world line, some secondary impacts occurred.

Should it not be this way? Xu Yang knew this little witch adopted by Nidelaide and everything about her, including the effects of the Law of Recovery, yet he felt he shouldn’t be seeing her at this moment. Should she have died? But... Xu Yang couldn’t quite explain.

"What’s wrong?" Nidelaide asked in confusion, "This child? Yes, she’s a bit odd. Vierre and I always wanted a child, but felt adoption was more appropriate. After filling out the paperwork, she ended up with us."

"...Since you’ve adopted her, treat her well, make her kinder and more rational," Xu Yang advised.

"Of course, she caused some trouble before, but thankfully Commissioner Lu coordinated with Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing to capture her," Nidelaide looked towards the little witch.

Bubble and Xu Cheng didn’t know her yet, playing with her, though her active era was long before Xu Cheng and Bubble.

This little witch tottered towards a toy rubber duck, reaching out to it.

"Forever Mireya," she said.
