The worlds associated with alien phenomena are too diverse, for example, those medieval-type worlds with low technology levels—if the environmental adjustment in such a world is also very "harsh," then there’s no need to consider any follow-up actions in that kind of world.
Even if there are castles or towns near the alien phenomenon, at most, one could acquire some wealth or similar things, but those are exactly what Ahn Seven needs the least. Not to mention wasting time, there’s also the possibility of Alien Phenomenon hunters being left in that world should the phenomenon disappear.
It’s not worth the risk for some antiquated gold and silver treasures.
Then there’s another scenario worth considering, where the world may be technologically backward, but the ’environmental adjustment’ limitations are low. When Ahn Seven’s Alien Phenomenon hunters are investigating, they can feel their bodies being significantly more active than usual, where previously they could only punch through bricks but now can shatter large stones.
That indicates the world has a high strength level. In such worlds, ordinary people are still ordinary, but the results of their training are much more apparent, and minerals and the like are more likely to exhibit extraordinary strength.
In such worlds, there’s a high probability of many special training or cultivation methods, as the advantage lies in the strength level, and naturally talented individuals would develop personal power. With those conditions in that world, it’s like an experiment—certain experiments can only be conducted in specific environments.
The training and cultivation methods brought back by Alien Phenomenon hunters, as well as some special minerals from those worlds, are of great value. Although the items brought back may be weakened to different extents due to environmental adjustment, they remain unique in Hazy City.
For instance, a training method that allowed someone to scale walls and leap over ten meters in their world of origin would only be two-thirds as effective in Hazy City. However, once mastered, if one encounters a world with a similar strength level, they could immediately regain the ability to leap over ten meters.
As for the disparity in military might with the natives... they don’t act arbitrarily.
Normally, our people can only punch through bricks; after going to such a world and being able to punch through slightly bigger stones, that’s okay. But if they can suddenly punch through human-sized boulders, then there’s no need for further discussion. Depending on the situation, they might "steal a dog" on the sly, and if that’s not possible, they’ll just act like ordinary passersby, using gold or silver as hard currency to buy what’s available—after all, it would be a shame to return empty-handed.
If it’s not such an exaggerated ’environmental adjustment,’ then they’ll consider whether to move boldly or to act more normally. Firearms are minimally affected by environmental adjustments, proving very useful in worlds with low limitations. In worlds with high upper limits, people can compress carbon into diamonds with just their hands.
Guns might seem a bit ineffective, but that’s another story when it comes to specially-made weapons.
There’s also a type of world where Alien Phenomenon hunters experience little change in their bodies after arriving, but they can greatly sense the presence of special powers within the environment. These worlds belong to the category with very high energy levels.
Such worlds generally have a lot of special powers. The people or other creatures there might not seem too exceptional in terms of physical strength, nor have minerals of extremely abnormal strength, but the minerals in these worlds may contain vast amounts of energy.
Those involved with alien powers, like mages and Superpower Users, could effortlessly unleash attacks comparable to missile explosions.
In these types of worlds, the main strategy is still ’dog stealing,’ unless the Alien Phenomenon hunters become top-tier or high-end combatants due to environmental adjustment after arriving.
Generally speaking, it’s difficult, as it depends on personal ’aptitude’, but even with high aptitude, one still needs to enhance and discover it, it’s not like changing the environment will immediately place someone at the peak, even if they have trained hard in their own world.
However, worlds differ, and environmental factors determine the efficiency of training, In this world, you could train to be the strongest, but in a higher environment world, you might only be average or even below average, unless that person’s training methods at that intensity level are also the top methods in higher environment worlds.
In that case, after reaching the upper limit in their own world, they will still improve slowly, but in a world with a higher intensity level, they would skyrocket, and there are also some worlds with both high energy levels and intensity levels.
These are the results of Hazy City’s years of research, and because of Environmental Adjustment, they won’t have to deal with situations where heroes from all walks of life need to come together to take down a boss, even after contacting other worlds through alien phenomena and acquiring various special things or cultivation methods.
After mastering those methods, no matter how well one can operate them, it only allows the individual to acquire more skills. The proficient could ignore most firearms, and not die even if their hearts explode, but if hit directly by a missile, they’d still die— if not, then a couple more missiles will do the job.
Technology is the least affected by this Environmental Adjustment, but the power of technological weapons is fixed. In a higher environment world, it’s basically the same level of power, it might fluctuate a little, but not much.
Another impact is that in higher environment worlds, some technologies develop more smoothly and easily, especially in worlds with high energy levels, where developing Energy weapons is easy.
But it doesn’t mean that worlds with lower energy levels can’t develop Energy weapons; it’s just that in such worlds, the power of the developed Energy weapons will be lower, and the research and production conditions more harsh.
Regarding whether technology can break through such influence after reaching a certain high level... well, so far, there is nothing about this in Hazy City’s research records, and Ahn Seven himself hasn’t found any related information either.
In the beginning, some people in Hazy City opted for ’migration’, and as research deepened, there were still those who harbored such thoughts, but not as many as before when every informed person wanted to enter those higher environment worlds.
After migrating, they could indeed enjoy the advantages brought about by the higher environment. But individual aptitude isn’t affected by the environment. A genius in a low environment world is still a genius in a high environment world, or one with an excellent talent, while an ordinary person from a low environment world remains ordinary in a high environment world.
At most, their physical fitness might improve a little, from being able to carry eighty pounds to holding a hundred...
Moreover, it’s difficult to take much in the way of resources when migrating, if you take too much and lack strength, you may easily become a fat sheep in the eyes of the other side.
More importantly, Hazy City has its unique advantages. This is a high-frequency alien phenomenon zone, and it’s uncertain if other worlds associated with alien phenomena have such areas. Hazy City has been researching ways to stably maintain these phenomena, but as of now, there’s no substantial news.
Hazy City is a high-frequency alien phenomenon zone, but it’s not that dangerous here; they are in a lower environment, but not at the bottom, and their technological weapons are quite advanced. They aren’t afraid of high environment beings coming through the alien phenomenon.
Those who insist on crossing over may not have the adaptability, and if they pass out from the pressure of going through the alien phenomenon, then they can capture the opponent without a fight... If high adaptability, high environment powerful beings come to Hazy City, after being adjusted by the environment, they can simply be served with a cannon. In high environment worlds, the fixed power of guns and cannons is not significant, but in lower environment worlds, it’s a different story.
