Chapter 258

Cell Coin for Greed is as important as money is to humans.

In Anku's eyes now, Jiang Xia is a gold mine; with his power combined with my assistance to Oz, we can definitely make a fortune.

Moreover, Alchemical Art practitioners usually have other ways to obtain Cell Coin, so maintaining a good relationship with Jiang Xia is obviously far more important for Yingsi.

However, Jiang Xia has no intention of cooperating with Anku, or rather, in the matter of earning Cell Coin, Anku's role is not that significant.

"President wants to meet you, Jiang Xia." Houteng stared into Jiang Xia's eyes.

Although I didn't expect that the person the President wanted to meet and Oz were the same person, he was simply following orders.

Have you already looked up my information?

Jiang Xia smiled; he had long known that Hongshang Guangsheng would invite him.

Dreamsee Town has already been turned into his own kingdom by Hongshang Guangsheng, and some of his small moves were already discovered by Jiang Xia, though he simply didn't pursue them.

The Hongshang Foundation in Dreamsee Town is like a museum in Fengdu, except the museum is the chief culprit of memory circulation.

Hongshang Guangsheng, however, wants Oz to regain that god-like power, that is, to become a truly infinite-transcending Oz, which can be said to be quite consistent with Jiang Xia's goal.

Hongshang Guangsheng has always believed that Desire can drive human Evolution, and Oz is the key to human Evolution.

That is why he has been obsessed with manufacturing his own Core Coin and accumulating an enormous quantity of Cell Coin.

Jiang Xia also indeed believes this, but the flaws in the coin system are indeed impossible to ignore; however, he will solve this problem.

Jiang Xia threw back three Core Coins to Anku and secured the Oz Driver.

Together with Houteng, the two left one after another, and turned the vending machine beside them into a motorcycle named 'Governed Vendors', heading toward the Hongshang Foundation along the center of the road.

This is a motorcycle invented by Zhenmu Qingren that specifically uses Cell Coin as energy, convenient, efficient, and safe.

To be honest, riding this motorcycle is indeed good; both speed and experience are great.

Jiang Xia pushed the speed to the maximum, frantically accelerating along a road with no one ahead or behind, never slowing down no matter how curved the bends were.

However, as the speed increased, the scenery outside rushed backward ever faster, like time constantly rewinding.

Houteng, left far behind by Jiang Xia, could only accelerate as well; fortunately he had undergone long training, and the performance of such vehicles is top-notch, allowing him to barely keep up with Jiang Xia's rhythm through the bends.

When Houteng was about to feel losing control, Jiang Xia gradually slowed down, showing that he clearly knew the limit at which Houteng could safely control the speed.

"Your physical condition and reflexes are not bad; with more practice you should reach the minimum standard, but now you're still quite far off, not just physically but also in will." Jiang Xia said.

"What standard?" Houteng, slowly approaching from behind, gripped the handlebars tightly with both hands.

"The standard for protecting the world; if you want to protect the world like Oz, you must let your current self grow quickly, or you will miss the opportunity."

Jiang Xia said: "I really look forward to your future performance, but unfortunately you are not qualified in many aspects right now."

Regarding Jiang Xia's evaluation, Houteng obviously didn't take it to heart; what could Oz do anyway?

Core Coin is already a product from 800 years ago; humanity is also constantly undergoing Evolution; as for protecting the world, he will see how it goes.

After a while, they passed through the buildings used to confuse people and arrived at the true headquarters of the Hongshang Foundation.

The building where Hongshang Guangsheng is located is actually not in the city center but rather to the south of it; the high-altitude view here, combined with the ubiquitous metal can robots, is enough for Hongshang Guangsheng to see every battle between Oz and Greed.

The two motorcycles stopped in front of a high-rise building, engines still running; they simply pressed a button on the front, and with the sound of mechanical parts colliding, the motorcycles split from the middle, revealing their undersides and transforming into an automatic vending machine.

Houteng stood in front of the vending machine, astonished; he had seen Jiang Xia's data, which was quite ordinary, so how could he be so familiar with these undisclosed machines?

"I'll take you up; the vending machine will have someone come to collect it, and according to the data you should be visiting this place for the first time."

"If you intrude randomly, it's very likely to trigger an alert."

Houteng saw Jiang Xia and beforehand mentioned the precautions.

"All right, you lead the way." Jiang Xia nodded and followed behind Houteng into the elevator.

The already quiet Houteng stood in the elevator like a mute robot, just blankly staring.

The atmosphere between the two actually fell into a moment of silence.

However, Jiang Xia was indeed busy at the moment and had no time to talk.

Jiang Xia used some of his special abilities to see through the originally solid ground and gradually dug downward.

Until he saw a huge statue of Oz's chest hanging in a dark room, he stopped digging further.

At this moment, although Jiang Xia was in the elevator, his vision had already reached the 27th underground level of this towering building.

Upon seeing the layout of the room, Jiang Xia's first thought was not to look for coins, but to shift his perspective.

He gazed at the ancient documents and abundant books preserved in transparent glass.

These are materials on Desire Coin that Hongshang Guangsheng has been collecting, taking most of his lifetime to obtain.

Of course, Jiang Xia only needs to know a tiny bit of this content to find the corresponding complete original data in the Earth Library.

The entire underground area has been almost hollowed out, with bookshelves surrounding all sides; however, compared to a library, this place is more like an Oz museum for display or appreciation.

As his view drew closer, he passed through the huge Oz disc statue and entered the depths of the pitch-black room.

It is made of special material, capable of resisting various attacks, and has only one entrance.

Tens of thousands of coins are neatly arranged in this room; they should be called millions or even tens of millions.

Even Jiang Xia was surprised when he saw such a terrifying quantity of Cell Coin.

If you throw a Greed in, it's like a mouse entering a grain store, practically enough to overfeed the Greed to the point of bursting.

Even if Anku only has one Core Coin, as long as there is a sufficiently large Desire container capable of absorbing such a massive amount of Cell Coin, there's no need to pursue full resurrection; one could simply wait for the other Greeds to be eliminated and then seize them.

With a chime, the elevator doors opened; Houteng actively pushed open the doors and bowed to Jiang Xia, since Hongshang Guangsheng had invited only Jiang Xia, so he could not enter.

"HappybirthdayOOO!"

Upon seeing Jiang Xia, Hongshang Guangsheng, with an excited expression, presented to him the cake he had personally drawn.
