Chapter 1482 New Order
Of course, victory in the war was definitely a good thing
Dragon City’s overall appearance today was many times more prosperous, bright, and powerful than what Meng Chao had seen in his doomsday nightmare.
However, it was also true that some superhumans, who could not keep up with the trend of the times yet possessed lethal force, had feelings of loss, complaint, pain, and even resentment.
According to Ai Lei, many middle-and low-level superhumans had gathered in the forums recently. They liked to tell stories about the Earth era and the Song dynasty.
Of course, these superhumans did not suddenly develop a strong interest in the “strong iron-blooded Song.” They merely used the Song dynasty’s emphasis on literature to suppress martial arts, and the “Donghua Gate to sing the name of a good man.” In the end, they disintegrated and turned into ashes in an extremely humiliating way to use the ancient times to satirize the present.

And the Monster War that lasted for decades still left an indelible double wound on the bodies and minds of these extraordinary warriors of the combat system.
Even though the authorities bore most of the medical expenses.
But the pain was something that they had to bear on their own after all.
In the dead of night, in each of the crisscrossed scars on their bodies, there was the piercing pain of tens of thousands of ants.
And every time they closed their eyes, images of their comrades being torn to pieces by the monsters would appear in their minds.
All of them reminded them that they would never be able to return to normal society and return to the peaceful lives of ordinary people.
In fact, similar social phenomena were common after all the wars on Earth.
After the war ended, a large number of veterans who were proficient in killing skills and suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome returned to normal society.
It was like a wild boar that had grown tusks and manes in the mountains. It was ferocious and had even tasted the taste of flesh and blood. How could it adapt to being locked in a pig pen again?
In addition, there were bound to be various problems in the transition from a wartime economic system to a peaceful economic system.
Some people would try to find all kinds of loopholes and use their power to wantonly plunder the war dividends.
Some people would be at a loss and find that they had become superfluous, untimely, and even unwelcome.
Some People’s jobs would be shattered overnight.
Some people would dig up mountains of gold and silver for no reason and miraculously rise to become an overlord in a way that no one knew.
Therefore, after the end of all the wars, it was always the time when order was the most chaotic and public security was the worst.
The problem of Dragon City, however, was more serious than that of any victorious country on Earth after the war.
After all, Dragon City was not like the victorious country on Earth. For the time being, it could not find a broad external market and almost unlimited cheap labor to export surplus force and productivity.
And the stealth and destructiveness of the extraordinary fighters were far better than that of an ordinary veteran who was proficient in killing techniques, but without guns, 90% of his combat strength was disabled.

Those who could successfully transform from an expert who killed the sword-halberd demon pig to a pig-raising king were, in the end, a very small minority.
If everyone could transform into a pig-raising king, who would sell so many domesticated sword-halberd demon pigs to? How could they eat all of them?
Most of the extraordinary people in the combat department who were not good enough or good enough would prefer to return to their old jobs, using swords and iron fists, rather than working as company employees, heavy manual laborers, or pig-raising kings, in exchange for a bowl of money, dignity, and freedom to eat.
Fortunately, in this great era where the winds and clouds were changing, the old and the new were changing, and the atmosphere was moving, Dragon City had plenty of opportunities and conflicts.
If there were contradictions, they needed people to resolve them.
And the most direct and effective way to resolve contradictions had always been absolute violence.
Only low-end commercial wars played the role of hacking, commercial espionage, option traps, and shareholder pressure.
High-end commercial wars had always been a one-time deal in the literal sense.
“The war between humans and monsters has already ended. Now it’s a war between humans.”
Ai Lei told Meng Chao that in order to fight for the war dividends and to re-establish the new post-war order in Dragon City, the intensity of the compet.i.tion between the humble and wealthy families, between the wealthy and wealthy families, and even between the various factions within the wealthy families.., had increased by an order of magnitude compared to the past.
This piece of SH * t in the Red Creek Creek Creek project was very likely the embodiment of the intensification of the internal strife within the universal group.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the Lair’s cancer was removed, but the depth and breadth of Dragon City’s underground world seemed to have expanded tenfold overnight. The so-called “underground order” had a completely different meaning from the past.
A large number of people who had been stationed in the wilderness and the jungle for a long time spent every day between the fangs and claws of the monsters. They could eat the internal organs of the monsters without changing their expressions, and they could even sleep with one eye open, the extraordinary fighters who could cut the throat of the monsters while sleepwalking swarmed into the underground world of Dragon City.
They were not well-known in the underground world.
But they were a hundred times more professional and ruthless than the former Lair gang.
In the Lair’s gang, except for Golden Tooth’s boss and a few other powerhouses, most of the gang members were thieves making a living
These superhumans with a combat system were definitely a group of well-trained bandits.
In order to control the new order after the war, the major clans had become more direct in their infiltration of the underground world.
Many of the powerful figures in the underground world were very likely from the nine great cultivation families. They were just changing their appearance and using a fake name.
The ‘giant-toothed crocodile’was one of the best.
This black market boss controlled several secret channels.
Today, there were fewer and fewer wild high-level monsters, and only he could get hundreds of rare materials.
In addition, he had a group of desperados under his command, and he also had the support of some wealthy families.
The giant-toothed crocodile soon made its debut. In the past half year, it had been doing well and had almost occupied 10% of the trading volume in Dragon City’s black market.
Meng Chao was a Reaper, so he was naturally no stranger to the black market.
In theory, be it the monster materials or the crystal ores, they were strategic resources that belonged to all citizens.
Even if extraordinaires hunted monsters in the wild, explored the crystal ore veins and obtained large amounts of cultivation resources, they had to register with the transcendental tower and pay a corresponding resource tax. Only then could they legally use these materials and crystals for cultivation.
And this resource tax would be used for the public construction of Dragon City and the welfare of ordinary citizens. It would help the descendants of ordinary people awaken their extraordinary powers and realize the sustainable development of Dragon City.
If extraordinaires needed a cultivation technique, materials, medicine, cultivation equipment, or guidance from a master teacher.
They could also purchase all of them in one stop at the transcendental tower to meet all their needs.
But in actual operations, there were a few problems when trading in the transcendental tower.
First, the high resource tax would greatly increase the transaction cost.
If a h.e.l.lbeast heart worth more than ten million was registered in the transcendental tower to carry out a legitimate transaction, it was very likely that there would be a resource tax of nearly ten million added to it, causing the transaction price to double.
Even transcendents who treated money like dirt were not willing to be the sucker every time. They would take out real money from their own pockets to “Benefit the citizens”.
Secondly, many of the materials had unknown origins. The person who held the materials did not wish for the Beyonder Tower to know how he obtained the materials — did he hunt them personally, or did he obtain them from the corpses of other Beyonders?
Naturally, no one would be foolish enough to report such materials with a pungent smell of blood to the Beyonder Tower. It was even more impossible for them to be traded in the Beyonder Tower.
Thirdly, the source of the materials was clean, but the source of the buyer’s large amount of a.s.sets was unknown. It was impossible to explain where the astronomical sum of money for the materials came from.
Fourthly, many rare materials could not be bought just because they had money. There was often a “Contribution point”restriction.
Only by completing the mission issued by the transcendental tower and obtaining sufficient contribution points could they exchange for them.
As for the missions of the transcendental tower, they were often both dangerous and c.u.mbersome.
For many important figures who had acc.u.mulated a huge amount of wealth and had a high status, they would rather spend more money and spend a few times more than to be like low-level Beyonders who were just starting out, they would obediently carry out the mission, work hard and acc.u.mulate contribution points.
Fifth, many genetic potions were very effective, but their side effects were also very strong. They could not pa.s.s the drug administration’s approval, so they could not be listed in the transcendental tower.
Those combat-type transcendents who were obsessed with strength and did not care about the side effects could only find another way.
It was precisely because there were many restrictions on trading in the transcendental tower.
Many transcendents liked to bypa.s.s the transcendental tower’s supervision and directly trade in monster materials, crystal ores, and genetic potions on the black market.
This was a secret that everyone knew in the circle of transcendents.
And they were qualified to host a large-scale black market.
Of course, they were all people with extraordinary means. They were inextricably linked to the various wealthy families.
Otherwise, where did they get so many goods that even the beyonder tower could not get their hands on?
This was an immeasurable market.
According to Ai Lei, the ‘giant-toothed crocodile’could actually monopolize 10% of Dragon City’s black market’s trading volume.
It was indeed not to be underestimated.
Meng Chao became interested in the giant-toothed crocodile.
He believed that the blood union would be very interested in the underground order of Dragon City and this giant-toothed crocodile.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao glanced at AI lei and said, “You know a lot about the underground world of Dragon City, the ‘tailless monkey’and the ‘giant-toothed crocodile’?”
“Of course!”
Ai Lei suddenly became spirited, “I told you that I’m very useful to you, senior. Although I can’t be of much help in the battle, you should just ask me if you want to know about the family feuds, the secrets of the wealthy families, the corporate scandals, and the changes in the underground world!”
“It’s such a waste for you to fabricate gossip and write about the seven days and seven nights Meng Chao and Lu Siya spent in the jungle,”Meng Chao said expressionlessly.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t want to either!”
Allie said confidently, “In our line of work, who doesn’t want to expose a few shocking cases, expose a few explosive scandals, and make a few truly big news?
“The problem is that it’s too foolish to step into a minefield rashly without strength and support and be blown to pieces before ‘truth and Justice’is discovered?
“Therefore, I can only make it up. No, I can only make it up by interviewing some gossip and digging out the love and hatred between Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
“However, things are different now. Now that I have senior’s legs, which are made of 24-carat pure gold, what do I have to be afraid of? In front of you, of course, I will tell you everything I know
