Chapter 313: The Astonishing Celestial Palace
"Is this the power of psychic abilities?"
Seeing this scene, the girls couldn't help but feel a flutter in their hearts. No wonder there was that peculiar yellow glow circulating above the main base city walls; it turns out the entire wall was constructed with psychic abilities.
Following the steps of the female warriors, the girls walked slowly through the passage within the city walls. What met their eyes was an extremely bustling world.
On the streets, there were girls and women coming and going everywhere, the air filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter. For a moment, An Rushui almost thought she had entered a land of women.
On the streets, there were vibrant scenes of red lanterns and green wine, the faces of girls beaming with smiles. There were various shops of all kinds, girls riding scooters, others driving cars through the streets, and female warriors patrolling in Order military uniforms.
In a trance, it felt as if they had returned to a scene before the apocalypse, and not only that, but it seemed even more prosperous.
At least on the streets, An Rushui saw many items that did not belong to this era: hoverboards, levitating trains, personal wristbands symbolizing Order residents, and various peculiar high-tech buildings and facilities.
An Rushui originally thought that Anqing City was prosperous enough and not much different from before the apocalypse. However, upon entering Order, she understood what true prosperity meant.
"Welcome to Order..."
The leading female warrior extended her arm with a welcoming gesture and a smile.
The women on both sides of the street, upon seeing An Rushui and her group, just casually glanced at them and went about their own business. They had seen this scene too many times.
It was nothing more than selecting outstanding women from the bases and presenting them to the leader. Among these dozens of people, not everyone would be favored by the leader. What's so rare about that?
The showgirls from Anqing City felt like country bumpkins entering the city, both familiar and unfamiliar with their surroundings.
"Welcome to Order, this is Order, the real Order!"
An Rushui muttered these words. This was the final Order of human civilization. She lifted her head, gazing at the celestial palace in the inner city that seemed within arm's reach but also as if it were on the distant horizon. She secretly made up her mind that she must enter there!
"Alright, follow your recommender. They will take you to register, receive a personal wristband, and record your information. After that, you will truly become the private property of the leader!"
"Three days later, I will notify you again!"
An Rushui, somewhat dazed, was led by Meng Fei, following behind her. The two walked on the bustling street, and An Rushui's eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, observing everything.
Everywhere were girls dressed extremely beautifully. Looking around, there was hardly an unattractive face. Even those with average looks were rare. It seemed that in the main base, all women were exceptionally beautiful.
"Meng Fei, are all the girls from the main bases this beautiful?"
Seeing the abundance of attractive women on the streets, An Rushui felt a bit numb. Her pride in her appearance seemed to be diminishing. Although most were not as stunning as her, there were quite a few who were equally impressive or even more so.
"Well, that's not entirely wrong. On one hand, the showgirls selected from the bases every year are the exceptionally beautiful ones. Over time, it becomes the scene you see now. Also, if you become a female warrior, killing zombies enhances your strength, and the improvement in physical fitness will, to some extent, beautify your body, making you more attractive."
Meng Fei touched her own face and then smiled as she spoke.
"And this kind of beautification is vastly different from cosmetic procedures later in life. It originates from genetic changes. The leader doesn't like postnatal beauty treatments, so you'll mostly see female warriors with average looks striving to kill zombies for this reason!"
"Oh, I see..."
"But this also depends on individual perspectives. If you were originally very ugly, the optimization of your appearance through bodily evolution can only make you less ugly. It's impossible to turn someone extremely ugly into a fairy. Moreover, there are limits to this method. I've reached my limit now. Unless granted psychic abilities by the leader, undergo a higher level of life evolution, perhaps appearance can be further enhanced!"
"Don't worry, Meng Fei. You'll definitely have this opportunity. Maybe you could even become a main mother!"
Seeing Meng Fei seeming a bit down, An Rushui quickly comforted her.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Meng Fei smiled at the girl and then the two walked across the street toward a villa not far away.
"Wow, Meng Fei, you actually have a villa in the outer city of the main base!"
An Rushui, surprised, watched as Meng Fei opened the villa's gate. She had thought Meng Fei lived in a regular apartment, not expecting her to have a villa in the outer city. In this highly sought-after main base, it was a place that many women couldn't even dream of entering.
"It's just in the outer city area. The villas in the inner city are the truly expensive ones, mostly ranging in the millions of credits!"
"Tsk, tsk!"
An Rushui shook her head. She probably couldn't afford it even if she sold herself. Order's credits were highly valued; killing an ordinary zombie only earned one credit, and the monthly salary for a squad leader was only twenty thousand credits.
However, Meng Fei didn't reveal the whole story. In fact, with her seniority, being one of the earliest female warriors to join Order, it wasn't impossible for her to buy a house in the inner city area. At that time, Order's population was still small, and inner city housing prices were not expensive.
However, later on, Meng Fei used a large amount of credits on herself, losing the eligibility to buy a house in the inner city.
Because Meng Fei had ambitions. Among the nearly one million girls in Order, all dreamt of climbing into the leader's bed, but how many could actually achieve that goal? Meng Fei was not a naturally stunning, nation-toppling beauty. Although she was already quite beautiful, undoubtedly a goddess in the eyes of ordinary people, among the hundreds of thousands of girls in the main base, she was unremarkable. Moreover, the women here were highly competitive, all climbing desperately for the faint chance to enter the celestial palace.
Meng Fei lacked the kind of stunning appearance that would automatically gain attention, nor did she possess any extraordinary talents in unique sexual techniques. Even when serving as the leader's pet or as a tool for pleasure, others outperformed her. How could she ever enter the celestial palace?
Even with her relentless efforts to kill zombies, her appearance only improved from a B-grade to an A-grade. There was still a considerable gap to reach the flawless S-grade. Not to mention those women with unique charisma bonuses and impeccable looks, who had already surpassed the so-called beauty standards. After all, these evaluations were only reference points. When appearance reached a certain level of beauty, what mattered more was personality, physique, knowledge, status, and so on!
Unfortunately, Meng Fei lacked all these qualities or was not outstanding enough, far from being able to compete with other women. In desperation, she tried various methods, networking, learning various sexual techniques, attempting to surpass others, but all her efforts ended in failure. Even after a few attempts, she was never chosen by the leader.
Meng Fei dared not and could not harbor resentment towards the leader. She was simply unwilling, unwilling to be just an ordinary female warrior. She only desired to serve by the leader's side, even if it meant being just an object of pleasure, a pet, a mother dog, or a sex slave. She would be content with any role.
So, Meng Fei took the initiative to apply for a transfer to other branch bases. Her intention was to use these opportunities to select outstanding showgirls for the leader. If these girls could win the leader's favor, perhaps Meng Fei could also soar to new heights based on her status.
After all, such occurrences were not uncommon in the leader's harem. Sisters with stunning looks unexpectedly caught the leader's attention, received his favor, and moved into the celestial palace. Among her sisters, those who were beautiful often experienced a significant rise in status, some even becoming favored consorts.
Even if not everyone could enter the celestial palace, a substantial promotion in status and becoming a favored goddess who had experienced the leader's favor was highly likely.
Meng Fei believed she had such an opportunity. In terms of appearance, she considered herself above average in the main base, and she was still the cleanest virgin. If An Rushui gained favor and recommended her to the leader, perhaps there was a chance for her too...
