I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chen Yang and Huang Aotian searched among rows of filing cabinets for potentially useful information.

Suddenly, Chen Yang's gaze fell on a small, out-of-place booklet, sandwiched between a pile of heavy file boxes, its yellow side cover already covered in dust.

He reached out and pulled out the booklet, casually brushing off the dust.

The cover reads "Work Notes".

Chen Yang flipped through the first few pages and found that the contents were quite detailed. It seemed to be the daily work notes of a scientific researcher, filled with experimental progress, data analysis, and some personal insights.

It seems to be something important. Chen Yang thought to himself.

He put the booklet in his pocket, intending to read it carefully after he left.

Just as he was about to continue searching for the Ascended's files, Huang Aotian called out softly from behind him: "Chen Yang, there's something here."

Chen Yang walked over, and Huang Aotian pointed to a row of neatly arranged filing cabinets. The file numbers were clearly marked, and the files of ascendants from batch 950 to batch 1000 were prominently displayed.

Chen Yang and Huang Aotian exchanged a glance: "These should be what we're looking for."

Huang Aotian pulled out a box labeled "First Batch of Ascended Files" and gently placed it on the ground to open it.

The box contained a thick stack of documents.

Each person's information was condensed onto a single sheet of paper.

The top sheet of paper had a familiar name written on it—Zhao Changming.

The two looked down and examined the paper closely. They saw that Zhao Changming's information was marked in great detail, including his personal talents, plant abilities, interpersonal relationships, and even the smallest details before his ascension. It was as if his past had been completely dissected.

Huang Aotian couldn't help but sigh, "This piece of paper is really ruthless; it has exposed everyone's secrets."

As they continued reading, the two discovered that the "whereabouts" section at the bottom of the document was blank for Zhao Changming.

"strangeness."

Huang Aotian muttered to himself as he flipped through the files of Zhao Changming's teammates.

The first twenty files are all of team members who ascended at the same time as Zhao Changming.

Of these, only three people had their "whereabouts" field blank, while the others were all marked as "Wangcheng District 18".

Scrolling further, it was discovered that for almost all the ascendants, the subsequent 'destination' in their files was uniformly marked as 'sent to the front lines of the Southern Military Region'.

Huang Aotian stroked his chin in confusion: "Going to the front lines of the Southern Military Region should be the destination for the vast majority of us. Why are the top twenty people different from us? What kind of place is this Wangcheng Eighteenth District?"

Chen Yang said, "If you don't have any clues, don't worry about it. Let's find Liu Yan's file first."

He then turned and browsed among the other filing shelves: "Let me see if there's any other useful information."

This archive room is extremely large, with so much stored material that it's impossible to look at it all.

After all, Chen Yang's goal was to go to human territory, but he was completely clueless about the current situation of the human camp.

Now the opportunity is ripe, and he is ready to gather more information about human territory.

At the same time, the sound of a little girl's giggles came from the other side.

Chen Yang glanced over and saw that Pike was playing games with the little girl.

The water ghost was expressionless, and its blue-glowing eyes were ferocious enough, but the little girl was not afraid at all. Instead, she was amused by Pike's knife tricks and couldn't stop laughing.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, surprised that these two guys could actually get along so well.

That's good, at least it keeps this little girl calm.

He looked away and began browsing the file shelves again.

The shelves are mostly filled with files of military soldiers and records of various plants.

After scanning through rows of useless files, Chen Yang's gaze was drawn to a file box labeled "Overview of the Eighteen Districts of the Royal City".

He took the file box off and opened it gently.

Inside were stacks of detailed documents; the paper was slightly worn, but still well-preserved.

"This kind of thing must be quite important," Chen Yang muttered to himself.

He sat cross-legged on the floor, opened the top document, and began to study it quietly.

The information is extremely detailed, describing the overall layout of human territory.

Today, the main settlement of native humans is a huge city called "Royal City".

This city occupies a vast area, its size comparable to that of a miniature country.

The inhabitants of the royal city are all native humans of pure blood.

The information specifically emphasizes that ascendants are not allowed to live in the royal city.

To address the issue of habitat for powerful ascendants, several satellite cities were established around the royal city.

These satellite cities are exclusively for Ascended to live in, and have expanded from just a few to eighteen today.

They surround the royal city, forming a "stars surrounding the moon" pattern.

As time went by, the earliest ascendants had children and multiplied in the satellite cities, which gradually grew in size and number.

However, as the number of Ascended people expanded and the population grew, land in the satellite cities became scarce and could not accommodate the unlimited growth of Ascended people.

As a result, some of the descendants of the Ascended were gradually driven out of the satellite cities.

Those who were expelled had no choice but to establish their own small communities outside the city.

Chen Yang thought of Hemu Town.

That remote border town was probably founded by the Ascended and their descendants who were expelled from the satellite city hundreds of years ago.

He flipped through a few pages and saw some more specific records.

Today, the eighteen satellite cities of the capital each have their own unique characteristics.

Each city was ruled by a major power.

These forces are powerful and have deep foundations. It can be said that the power of these eighteen satellite cities is the last and strongest line of defense for human territory.

Zhao Changming's seventeen teammates were assigned to the eighteenth satellite city of the royal city, also known as the eighteenth district of the royal city.

This city was the last to be built and also has the most emerging forces.

"The Eighteen Districts of the Royal City".

Chen Yang read it aloud and wrote down all the information.
