My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 380 - 191: Farewell, Love for Shadows

"Yiyi, let’s go to the superpower technique sales point. If there’s a superpower technique you need, you can buy it. We’re not short on money," Yang Yuan said softly.

"Mm-hmm," Jiang Yiyi nodded.

In fact, not only was Yang Yuan not short of money, but she herself wasn’t either.

Because earlier in the underground nest, she had acquired a large number of Earth-level Cores and chameleon eggs.

The Alliance Headquarters was very large, and there were also many people.

Perhaps because the pace of life here was too fast, many people came and went in a hurry.

But there were also many who sat paralyzed on the street side, looking ashen, as if they had lost hope in life.

Those people included both the Human Race and other unrecognizable species.

"Big brother, look over there..." Suddenly Jiang Yiyi pointed at a large crossbow on the distant wall.

Yang Yuan looked over with suspicion, then squinted his eyes.

He recognized it; that city defense crossbow was indeed one he had manufactured back when he built the Supreme City.

All those previous city defense crossbows disappeared with the reshaping of the world.

Why would one appear here?

Could it be that the disbandment of Supreme City was related to those at the Alliance Headquarters who controlled authority buildings?

"Did you find your sister Jiayan? Or anyone else you used to know?" Yang Yuan asked in a low voice.

"No," Jiang Yiyi shook her head.

Yang Yuan didn’t press further and strode toward the Superpower Technique Building.

"Make way, everyone in front, move aside..." Suddenly, a reprimanding voice came from behind.

Everyone quickly moved aside. Yang Yuan also pulled Jiang Yiyi to stand aside, watching as a magnetic levitation vehicle swiftly approached and stopped at the Spring Square ahead.

Then they saw a group of disheveled survivors getting off the vehicle, looking bewildered.

The magnetic levitation vehicle was very large, and many people got off, at least twenty or thirty.

Among them, some had horns on their heads, some had scales on their faces, clearly not all from the Human Race.

Upon arriving at the Alliance Headquarters, each looked like a refugee, bewildered and at a loss.

And indeed, they were refugees.

The soldier who brought them loudly said, "Find a place to stay first, whether you decide to join the Alliance Headquarters or enter the survivor camp, it’s up to you. If you ask me, lazy people don’t even deserve to live in this era, wasting our efforts on rescue."

After speaking, he directly drove away.

Immediately, many people nearby who initially felt a bit of sympathy for them scattered upon hearing the soldier’s words.

"Thought they were some poor souls, turns out they’re just a bunch of lazy bums."

"A bunch of parasites. Now that everyone is a player, as long as you’re willing to cut trees or something, you basically won’t worry about food or clothing. Be a little diligent, and you can live quite well."

"Since they’re parasites, why bring them back? Wouldn’t it be better to let them die out there?"

"You don’t know anything. The Empire is bombing everywhere now, with heavy casualties among players. They desperately need fresh blood; these lazy ones are just for breeding."

"Ah, this..."

"There’s a girl over there, quite pretty, wonder if she can be adopted, I can definitely afford it..."

...

Yang Yuan initially felt some sympathy for them, but after hearing the soldier’s words and the whispers from the nearby players, he walked away speechlessly.

Although there might be some misunderstandings or missed opportunities, it’s just like what one of the players nearby said: in this era, even being a woodcutter and chopping trees can ensure a life without worries about food and clothing.

Being a bit diligent allows you to live quite well.

Yet those people ended up like this, leaving one speechless.

On the way to the Superpower Technique Building, Jiang Yiyi frequently glanced at a distant building, her face showing a puzzled and uncertain expression.

"Yiyi, what’s wrong?" Yang Yuan asked with concern.

Jiang Yiyi hesitated for a moment but still shook her head, "Big brother, Yiyi’s fine, I just miss my mom."

Yang Yuan affectionately rubbed the little girl’s head.

Soon, they arrived at the Superpower Technique Building.

Yang Yuan put Jiang Yiyi down and, holding the little girl’s hand, prepared to enter, but was suddenly blocked by an invisible wall.

A message popped up in his vision: "Not a registered member of the Alliance, no access permission, entry prohibited."

Yang Yuan frowned.

At this point, a short-haired girl who had been watching from nearby ran over, smiled, and said, "Sir, haven’t you registered your Alliance identity? For just one hundred new coins, I can help you quickly complete the procedure."

"New coins?" Yang Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Ah, it’s the Alliance’s new currency, it only appeared half a year ago. One ordinary Spirit Monster Core can be exchanged for one new coin. Once you’ve registered your Alliance identity, you can exchange it anywhere," the short-haired girl explained. "It only takes a hundred new coins, very fast."

Just then, more people arrived at the entrance of the Superpower Technique Building and were similarly blocked. Someone stepped forward asking for a hundred new coins.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan immediately said, "Lead the way, I’ll pay you after I’m registered."

"I know, right now, even if you wanted to pay, you couldn’t. Once you’ve registered, you can directly transfer from your account," the girl said. "By the way, I’m A Qiu. How should I address you, sir?"

"Yang Yuan."

Yang Yuan said with curiosity, "You’re not a superpower user?"

"I’m an evolved human with no abilities, but after the world’s reshaping and the game became reality, I chose the profession of ’Guide.’ Now I’m an Alliance service staff, serving all brave survivors and guiding new heroes," A Qiu answered. "By the way, the Empire is rampaging these days, with internal and external strife, and many survivor casualties. The upper ranks have changed the game rules. You must join the Alliance and register for identity verification to enjoy certain benefits."
