Chapter 83: Lein Island Defence
"This gate is so big..." Axel muttered to himself.
The exit gate of the Teleportation Hub area was indeed enormous, reaching a height of 25 meters, and its thick pillars were one meter wide, made of metallic black iron.
"What's up with those guards? Their aura is so strong."
"Aren't Tier-2 soldiers not supposed to have such strong auras?"
"Yeah, and their guns look very strange too."
Axel's friends behind him also marveled at the grandeur of the exit gate of the Teleportation Hub area. On both sides of the gate pillars, there were two teams of soldiers, each consisting of three people.
Axel and his group continued walking and eventually passed through the exit gate calmly.
Just as they passed through the gate, they were unaware that a wave of energy passed through their bodies without them realizing it.
Axel's group was now outside the Teleportation Hub area, greeted by the advanced appearance of Life City.
The buildings were mostly constructed with strong clear glass, and floating vehicles zoomed quickly above the black asphalt, with colorful lights at the road edges. Traffic signs continuously displaying beautiful animations added a unique charm to the streets.
Pedestrians on floating disks occasionally glided over the sidewalks, and large aircraft passed through the sky every few moments. Axel and his friends felt like villagers visiting the city for the first time.
"I made the right choice by attending university here. With the level of technology and power displayed by Life City, I'm sure I will achieve my greatest creation," Axel declared firmly in his heart. He opened his current status panel.
His gaze scanned through all his attributes and status. His beautiful eyes finally stopped on the talent line, where it was written "Creator SS."
"Hehe..." Axel laughed happily in his heart, a small smile appearing on his face.
"Twuzz... Twuzz..."
"Axel, come on, the city bus is here," said the girl with curly brown hair.
A three-story bus without wheels stopped right in front of Axel's group. On the front top of the bus was a round ball with mechanical eyes and a mouth. The round ball could rotate 360 degrees, its large metallic eyes continuously scanning the roadside. This round ball was the driver of the driverless city bus.
"Let's go..."
Axel and his group immediately boarded the bus and looked for empty seats to sit.
"Welcome to city bus #Patimura. We will depart in 10 seconds."
"Please hold on and keep the bus area clean."
"8...
7...
3...
2...
1"
"Shahh..."
The three-story bus moved very quickly, and within seconds, it was far down the road.

Underground room, right below the main City Hall of Life City.
Far underground beneath the City Hall of Life City, there was a 10-story building, with each floor having an area of over 500 square meters. Each floor was connected by stairs crossing between the floors, but there was also a large elevator that served as the main transportation between floors.
In one of the rooms on the 7th floor, there was a room labeled "Teleportation Hub Monitoring Division #1" on the door.
Inside the room, there were two people with silver helmets sitting with their eyes closed. The silver helmets had several black rods that seemed to be electrically charged.
"North Gate, Axel level 1%."
"North Gate, Olivia level 7%."
...
The two people with helmets on their heads reported several sentences every few moments. Afterward, the officer on duty not far from them recorded all the information on the holographic computer in front of them.
The information reported by the two helmeted individuals was the danger level they sensed when people passed through one of the four main gates at each Teleportation Hub.
Such monitoring did not only occur at Teleportation Hub #1 in Life City. Teleportation Hubs in Laras and Old Man Haikal's city also did the same.
Outsiders might think they could carry out a surprise attack right when they teleported to Lein's island. Fortunately, no one had ever attempted such a foolish action since the establishment of Lein's island. If they did, with the full surveillance of Life City from the moment they exited the portal and passed through the gate, they would be frozen and detained before causing any disturbances.
In fact, monitoring was not only happening on Lein's side, but on the other side of the portals from other rulers connected to the portals on Lein's island, there were also officers monitoring, though not as strictly and not directly.
Monitoring from the teleportation portal side was just one of the defense fortifications of Lein's island.
If someone wanted to launch a direct attack from the island, it was even more impossible because of the layered security, starting from patrol teams monitoring areas within a 10 km radius, 60 small fortresses at a distance of 100 km, 4 main fortresses within a 10 km distance, a transparent shield with a defense point of more than 10,000,000, and hundreds of long-range defense towers that would welcome them with open arms if they dared to attack.

Bamboo Classroom #100A, 18th Floor, New Life University
The classroom atmosphere was very peaceful at the moment, as a middle-aged woman was explaining physics material at the front of the class.
The woman at the front was drawing a coordinate line and forming a symmetric curve, then she created a bar diagram within the area of the symmetric curve.
"With this formula," she said with a smile, "we can understand how potential energy changes in a gravitational field."
The students were paying close attention, some of them taking notes in their books.
