Sky Ecology

There were also many extremely bizarre rules that left people utterly bewildered.

For example:

In the Fire Zone, only one gender of androids is allowed to exist at the same time.

Androids are prohibited from establishing social relationships beyond work with 14 people under any circumstances.

Androids are forbidden from saying "Drink more hot water," "It’s cold, remember to wear more clothes," "The moon is beautiful tonight," or "Let’s go see the sea" to the opposite sex; violators will be convicted of sexual harassment.

In non-public settings, androids are prohibited from communicating in any non-verbal manner, and their speaking volume must exceed 30 decibels.

Androids must exceed 50mg of morphine in a single injection for pain relief.

The stools at the Skyline terminal must be locked up.

She could tolerate the previous ones, but Akabane Tsubaki's expression became as odd as could be when she saw this last rule.

The chairs at the terminal must be locked—why is there such a bizarre rule?

Sky-Father is just too nonsensical.

Someone was chasing them again from a distance; Xu Xiaoyou looked at these rules and made her plan.

"Let's go."

In the airships hovering over the city, the league host happened to switch the screen to the running girls.

Tang Xin's face appeared on countless screens, and a man grabbed his microphone, his passionate voice echoing over the city:

"Look, look who it is—it's our universal superstar, Miss Tang Xin!"

"Her popularity surged instead of fading after the 'Starry Singer' incident, and her album, 'Flight Vision,' has sold a total of 4.05 billion copies across the universe, making it the only 'diamond album' on the Nebula Music Chart."

"How many people have listened to her radio station in the dead of night seeking solace for their souls?"

"Although she is now a world-class urban legend known as the 'Starry Singer,' this does not stop countless people from still adoring her."

"For instance, I, honored to be invited as the host of this league," the man's lips curled up, "Ince Bronc, am still a fanatic admirer of Miss Tang!"

": She's so pretty. 999999"

": Going crazy for Little Blue Bird! 730426"

": I didn't expect to see Miss Tang in the league again; I thought I'd never see her again, sob... What exactly did Miss Tang go through...?"

The total number of people in the official main livestream exceeded twenty million.

Even with the bullet screen filter function turned on, the exploding comments still densely packed the entire screen, with various donation effects dazzling the eyes.

": Hey, hey, is no one curious why she's appearing at Light-Chaser Garden?"

": A world-class urban legend just openly participating in the Oasis league—no matter how you think about it, there's something wrong!"

": ^ What's so strange about that? Dark Gold Rose is practically a walking world-class urban legend trap; isn't Abyssal White Flower by her side too?"

"They're talking about you, female star," Angelina glanced at Tang Xin.

"Big Sister Tang really is popular," Akabane Tsubaki remembered a time when the streets and alleys of Red Heaven were covered with promotional posters of the blue-haired girl.

"Stop it," Tang Xin turned her head away.

If the girl was previously only slightly famous on the Star of Art and had remained lukewarm across the universe, her fame only truly began to roar after the 'Starry Singer' incident, instantly making her a household name throughout the universe.

People began to spontaneously learn about and promote her story.

The single 'Eden Bird' from the album 'Flight Vision' alone had exceeded one hundred billion clicks in a single day, and its popularity remained high even today.

The five of them ran into a magnificent curved building, ignoring the exclamations of the reception androids at the front desk and quickly dashing toward the elevators.

The pursuers behind them were blocked outside the elevator doors at the very last second, their faces filled with frustration.

The waiting process was a bit long; Xu Xiaoyou directly jammed her dagger into the elevator's operation controller, ensuring that the elevator could not be intercepted before reaching the top floor.

Skyline City is divided into three layers.

The bottom-most layer is actually no longer suitable for human habitation.

The miasma released by energy plants has transformed that place into something like a primeval forest.

The second layer is the road surface in the true sense, with a greenery area exceeding 90%; only pedestrians are allowed to pass through on foot, and most of the public facilities are tourist attractions like aquariums, parks, and botanical gardens.

What is closely related to the daily lives of the androids is the third layer.

Giant buildings are connected by floating stations; whether for entertainment, work, or life, the internal facilities are fully equipped, encompassing everything from the birth to the death of android citizens, forming a unique 'sky ecology'.

The ground area of some giant buildings exceeds a football field, while their tops extend into the heavens.

When viewed from afar at night, they look like sky-propping pillars hanging upside down from the clouds, emitting a shimmering cold glow.

Some androids never truly set foot on the ground until they close their eyes forever.

Skyline City's transportation network extends in all directions; once they reach the top floor, they can call a land-air vehicle.

Xu Xiaoyou casually opened her own livestream and changed the title to—'Light-Chaser Garden Tournament Live'.

Immediately, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded in, instantly pushing the livestream's popularity to the top spot below the main stream.

": Dark Gold Rose boss! 64457]"

": Finally waited for you~ 7758"

": My Queen, I adore you. 3205"

": It's so great to be able to see Dark Gold Rose boss at such a close distance; it is an absolute honor."

There were too many donation effects and comments floating by; Xu Xiaoyou couldn't keep up and decisively turned on the streamlined mode.

Comments involving the disclosure of tournament content would be automatically blocked, so participants didn't need to worry about that.

Light-Chaser Garden needed a large amount of development capital, and the tips from the livestream were a very considerable income.

": Good, good, good, they're all beautiful girls; quite easy on the eyes."

": Wow, is that the young lady from the Order Court? Isn't it a bit of a foul for official personnel to participate in a Visiting Battle by Overstepping Authority?"

": ^ Does anyone still think the Order Court can do whatever they want in Oasis? Their exercise of power is also subject to restrictions."

": There's also the little family head of the Chi family."

": The mascot is so cute."

Some comments noticed Angelina leaning into the corner.

": Yo, isn't this Abyssal White Flower, Miss Dark Gold Rose's most obedient dog?"

Angelina clicked her tongue inwardly; if she were given a superpower at this moment, she only wanted to be able to hit people through the internet and then kill everyone she didn't like.

": ... Why is Little Blue Bird only grade 2?"

": I've noticed that except for the configuration, the starting team of Light-Chaser Garden is quite luxurious."

"Can you turn off the comments?" Bai Youyou asked calmly.

Xu Xiaoyou turned around and found that the four of them were all silently looking at her.

She began to weigh the terrifying consequences she would face if she didn't do so.

It was a pity; these comments were actually quite interesting.

To be able to leave the elevator room alive, Xu Xiaoyou could only reluctantly part with them and turned off the comments.

Soon the elevator reached the top floor; as the doors opened, white light shone through the gap, and the azure sky was right before their eyes.

After confirming there were no enemies lying in ambush nearby, they finally stepped out.

The roar of land-air vehicle engines drifted faintly in the wind.

Only then did they discover two figures standing not far away.

One wore a silk top hat, and the other had a boisterous smile; they seemed to have been waiting there for them for a long time.
