In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

Thomas emotionally recounted his turbulent and degenerate first half of life.

Wang Jixuan played the part of a qualified listener.

For Daoist Wang, Thomas's story, though not very interesting, could enhance his understanding of the mortal world as long as he focused on the lives of ordinary people.

The handmade car drove into the forty-ninth level along the winding, bumpy road, proactively avoiding the confrontation zone between the Blackfire Gang and the Wanli Gold Gang, and smoothly entered Wanli Gold's territory.

Just as the Blackfire Gang's controlled area has the nickname "City of Rebirth," Wanli Gold's territory also has a unique name.

【Emerald Manor】.

This is a large farm that provides brewing materials.

The size of Emerald Manor is similar to that of the City of Rebirth, with white greenhouses for planting crops everywhere. The main residential area is compressed into a narrow area, creating a peculiar scene of a 'container forest'.

Wang Jixuan suddenly heard the joyful screams of children.

He looked out through the car window;

Children were playing and frolicking in the maze-like 'container forest.' Many container houses had energy-saving lamps lit in front of them, and adults were sewing and mending under the lights.

Emerald Manor is the area in the lower city with the most lighting and electricity consumption, second only to the City of Joy.

In addition to fermenting alcoholic beverages and supplying vegetables and fruits to the upper city, Wanli Gold's third-largest business is handmade sewing. Forty percent of the clothes and hats in the entire lower city originate from this container forest.

Including the green sweatshirts of their rivals, the Blackfire Gang.

Wang Jixuan could also see many people drinking and chatting in groups on platforms, and many armed men and women patrolling everywhere.

His attention was quickly drawn to those greenhouses.

In his perception, the spiritual energy there…

Was very pure!

The amount of spiritual energy was also slightly higher!

Was it because there were more plants?

This accidental discovery added a bit of eagerness to Wang Jixuan's heart.

Facts proved that his luck today was quite good.

The agent who brought him here, 'Goat Butt' Thomas, finally stopped his self-narration and sighs, pointed to a continuous area of greenhouses, and said in a hoarse voice:

"We'll go there in a while."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I haven't told anyone else my story, except for my driver… Just now, you made me re-examine my life."

"As a reward, I will introduce you to my adoptive mother. That's my former home. She is the most respected elder in the Wanli Gold Gang."

"Okay, I'll be honest with you."

"Because your uncle is a powerful person, I planned this from the beginning: to arrange for you to come to my old home, hoping that you can get along well with my younger brothers and sisters, and that you can provide them with a little favor when they need help in the future."

"Wait a moment, I need to change my style, otherwise that eccentric old lady will hit my sexy butt with her broom."

Thomas began to wipe his face and remove his makeup.

"Thank you," Wang Jixuan said softly.

Daoist Wang had listened to stories all the way and felt somewhat emotional.

Thomas is this guy's 'stage name' to make it easier for him to do business in the City of Joy. This guy also has a rather poetic real name, Hua Queyue, which is now rarely used.

It's all about a sense of contrast.

Thomas 'claims' to be sexually conservative and has a secret girlfriend. His usual flamboyant attire, way of speaking, and style of doing things are all to enhance the recognition of him by different groups of people.

What he does — bringing people from the middle city to settle in the lower city, and bringing people from the lower city to settle in the middle city — requires connections the most.

A few minutes later.

Thomas wiped off his eye makeup, foundation, and bright red lipstick, put on a black shirt, skillfully applied sticky hair gel to his hands, and quickly grabbed his original rooster-comb-shaped hair into a smooth six-four split hairstyle.

A charming middle-aged uncle in his forties with a healthy physique quickly appeared before Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang: The transformation techniques in this world don't even require casting spells and chanting incantations!

"How is it?"

Thomas deliberately used a bubbly voice:

"Could I be a cover model? Actually, my first job in the City of Joy was as a window model, you know."

Wang Jixuan squeezed out a smile: "What are we going to do next?"

"Come with me, put away those unrestrained expressions, and… try to be calm inside and make yourself look like an intellectual."

Thomas rubbed his nose:

"My adoptive mother has a bad temper and hates layabouts. Don't tell her why you were forced to come to the lower city, she hates murderers the most."

"Just say that you offended some people with backgrounds in the middle city, and they want to kill you. Your uncle arranged for you to come down here to hide for a while, that's enough."

"Understood?"

"Probably."

"Get out of the car and wait for me for a while. I'll take care of things and ask them to take care of you more in the future."

Thomas changed into a pair of ordinary sneakers, pushed open the car door, and got out.

A warm shout immediately came from the side: "Brother Hua! Long time no see!"

"Hahahaha! Long time no see!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you bring anyone over here. Do you have another peanut that can be squeezed for oil this time?"

"This time is different. His uncle is in charge of logistics on the eleventh level and is very powerful… Don't tell anyone about this, especially not my old lady."

"Wow! Why would someone like that come to our slum?"

"They also have enemies, and this poor egg was framed and can only come here to avoid the limelight…"

Wang Jixuan got out of the car and saw Thomas chatting with seven or eight men and women under the street lamp.

More Wanli Gold gang members were rushing towards this side, surrounding Thomas and talking, and taking cigarettes from Thomas's hand.

The driver uncle opened the trunk and took out two foam boxes.

"Brother Zhou, come and give me a hand."

"Okay," Wang Jixuan took a box and found that it contained bags of edible flour.

The staple food of the fortress is starch sticks, which are not made from this wheat flour. Flour is a relatively expensive item in the lower city.

Wang Jixuan and the driver waited for more than ten minutes before Thomas finally finished the cigarette distribution and small talk.

This guy walked over with a beaming face, patted Wang Jixuan on the shoulder forcefully, turned on a pocket flashlight, and set off towards the greenhouse area in front.

The closer he got to these greenhouses, the stronger Wang Jixuan's feeling became.

The spiritual energy here was indeed purer.

Unexpectedly, he had accidentally found a good place for cultivation!

These greenhouses were arranged very closely. Each greenhouse was a standard ten meters long and three meters wide. Each greenhouse contained a family, and those who could live here were families of Wanli Gold gang members.

Thomas introduced Wang Jixuan while shining a light on the road:

"The formula soil that can grow crops is Wanli Gold's top-secret technology."

"Don't underestimate these seemingly common soils. Each household's greenhouse has a fixed quota of formula soil that can be allocated each year."

"Correspondingly, each greenhouse must produce enough crops each year, mainly grapes for winemaking and vegetables for the upper city. If the specified quantity is not reached, the family will lose the right to plant the following year."

"Taking care of plants is the easiest job in the lower city."

"If they can make the yield higher, then the extra yield can get some rewards."

"For fairness, harvesting is carried out uniformly by the Wanli Gold Gang. If it is found that the growers are stealing, they will permanently lose the right to plant and will be severely beaten."

Wang Jixuan said, "It sounds pretty good actually."

"In terms of environment, you made the wisest choice by choosing Wanli Gold, but as an agent, I must say that the possibility of making a name for yourself here is relatively low unless you go and fight the Blackfire Gang."

As he spoke, Thomas cleared his throat and straightened his back unconsciously. He looked at the three-story wooden building that stood out from the crowd behind the greenhouse area and took a light breath.

The wooden building was somewhat old and had been standing here for some years.

The news of Thomas's return had been transmitted here in advance. Seven or eight children, ranging in age from three to twelve or thirteen, were squeezed under a yellowed door light at the entrance, looking expectantly towards this side.

"Brother Hua!"

A little girl shouted with surprise.

"Hahahaha!"

Accompanied by laughter, Thomas opened his arms and rushed over, the flashlight shaking constantly.

The eight children greeted him at the same time, like a group of little magpies chirping.

Wang Jixuan had listened to Thomas's nagging all the way. In addition to learning about Thomas's bumpy, violent, and erotic personal growth stories, he had also heard Thomas mention the 'adoptive mother's wooden house' many times.

These children were adopted by that old lady.

The reason why they were able to draw out an area here, create a small courtyard, plant some anti-darkness fruit trees in the yard, and grow some simple vegetables was actually because of Thomas—after Old Thomas became a prominent figure in the lower city, he fully repaid the adoptive mother who raised him.

Wang Jixuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little touched.

This is the emotion of mortals…

Hmm?

Wang Jixuan frowned inadvertently and looked at the figure that had newly appeared under the door light.

It was a gray-haired old woman, looking to be in her sixties or seventies, wearing a light-colored floral long dress and a brown sweater jacket. She was currently leaning against the door frame, watching her adopted sons and daughters playing and making noise in front of the door with a smile.

In the lower city, it was very rare for an elderly person to live to this age, but this was not the reason why Wang Jixuan frowned.

Perhaps because Wang Jixuan's gaze suddenly became a little sharp, the old woman looked up.

Using the light cast by the nearby shed, she clearly saw Wang Jixuan's disguised appearance as 'Zhou Tiantian'.

She said with a dark face, "Xiaohua! You little rascal! You're finally bringing your business here to me!"

"Mom! This young man is different!"

Thomas approached with a smile, opening his arms as if to ask for a hug, but the old lady feigned a kick, forcing him back.

"Your health is still so good," Thomas exclaimed, secretly beckoning to Wang Jixuan and the driver.

Wang Jixuan's expression had returned to his usual smile as he moved forward with the foam box in his arms, carefully sensing as he closed the distance.

That's right.

This old woman was surrounded by a mottled and chaotic wisp of Qi.

The Qi of Wen Heisen, the Black Fire Gang's third-in-command and a D-level Esper.
