Chapter 1833: Martial Emperor City
The Martial Emperor City was full of all kinds of people, including humans and demons.
In the Martial Emperor City, Venerables were everywhere, and only a small number of explorers were there. The reason for the existence of explorers was that very few of them were Heavenly Talents nurtured by certain forces, and most were the descendants of the residents of the Martial Emperor City. There were humans, sea demons, and even mermen here.
In fact, after a series of unknown nurturing, these explorers were mainly responsible for the operation of the entire city after they became Venerables.
At this time, Han Fei saw a human woman wearing a kind of uniform. There was a “Martial” mark on her arm, and on her waist, there was a tag similar to the star token of the Scattered Stars Island.
Han Fei guessed that the token was used to identify people because everyone here had one.
This woman looked calm and ordinary, the kind that couldn’t be found in the crowd. However, her strength had already reached the peak of the Venerable realm.
When Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan landed, the woman had already stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Captain Han Fei, because you made a big deal in the Martial Emperor City, the city specially sent me to lead you into the city.”
Han Fei raised his eyebrows. “A big deal?”
Han Fei didn’t ask further. He had already guessed what the deal was.
Therefore, Han Fei just nodded slightly and said, “Then lead the way!”
The woman said, “Please follow me. Let’s walk into the city. During this period, I’ll explain some rules of the Martial Emperor City that need to be abided by.”
Han Fei was walking on the sandstone road with cracking sounds.
Han Fei stepped on it on purpose, because it had been a long time since he walked on solid ground, especially in a place that looked like a primitive island. In some places, there were even muddy roads with waterholes.
The woman said, “It’s not recommended to fly in the Martial Emperor City most of the time. You can walk with the Great Dao of s.p.a.ce. However, we don’t absolutely forbid flying. If you encounter special circ.u.mstances and need to hurry up, you can fly. Of course, this is all monitored by the strong masters of the Martial Emperor City…”
They chatted on the side of the road as they walked towards the distant city.
The woman explained the rules of the Martial Emperor City skillfully.
First of all, perception was forbidden to use in the Martial Emperor City. If one scanned a person with his perception, it was fine if it happened once or twice, but if it happened too many times, he could complain to the managers of the Martial Emperor City.
Secondly, the Martial Emperor City encouraged everyone to speak out instead of using voice transmission. In order to ensure that the contents of the conversation wouldn’t be overheard, everyone who entered the Martial Emperor City would be issued an ident.i.ty card. If speaking required privacy, they could secretly activate their ident.i.ty cards. If it wasn’t very private, everyone could directly speak out.
Also, the Martial Emperor City refused discrimination. Discrimination was a sin. Any race was born equal. If anyone commited discrimination in the Martial Emperor City, they would be ruthlessly driven away. The result was very likely that they were dismembered on the sea.
In the Martial Emperor City, there was no specific currency. If there was, ultra-quality spiritual stones were used as currency. Everything could be converted into ultra-quality spiritual stones.
Of course, things like Chaotic Qi could also be used as currency. However, generally no one would use it.
This was because this was a paradise for thugs. “Venerables everywhere” was one of the characteristics of the Martial Emperor City.
It was inevitable that there would be occasional conflicts between the strong. Even so, private battles were forbidden. Once they were discovered, they would be severely punished! If the situation was serious, they would at least be expelled from the Martial Emperor City or even killed on the spot.
Therefore, if there were enemies in the Martial Emperor City, they would either leave the Martial Emperor City and resolve it themselves or go to the arena to fight to the death.
After briefly introducing the basic situation of the Martial Emperor City, the woman said, “Generally speaking, every day you stay in the Martial Emperor City, you have to pay 100 ultra-quality spiritual stones. However, the Martial Emperor City has a rule that anyone who spends more than a million spiritual stones in the Martial Emperor City can pay ten times less. Those who spend more than ten million spiritual stones here will be exempted from the stay fee, and they can even settle down in the Martial Emperor City. Of course, only five people can be exempted from the stay fee. If you want more people to be exempted, you’ll have to spend more money…”
Chirp chirp ~
On the way, Han Fei saw birds and beasts of the Sky Clan flying past and was quite gratified. It seemed that the Sky Clan could still fly here. On the roadside, gra.s.s and wildflowers were scattered randomly.
Xia Xiaochan said, “They’re just ordinary flowers and plants without any special power.”
The woman said, “They are ordinary flowers and plants in the first place, but even ordinary flowers and plants are forbidden from being destroyed. If you destroy flowers and plants, you’ll have to compensate. If no one saw it, it’s fine, but the Martial Emperor City pursues nature. Someone once stomped and destroyed a large area of flowers and plants, and he only had two choices. Either re-plant these flowers and plants again, or die.”
Han Fei: “???”
Xia Xiaochan: “???”
The two of them were speechless. There were many rules in the Martial Emperor City.
Han Fei felt that those who didn’t know better would think that they had entered a completely controlled civilized society!
Han Fei asked, “What’s your name?”
The woman said, “Sorry, I don’t have a name. You can call me 3001, which means that I’m the number 3001 service personnel of the Martial Emperor City.”
Xia Xiaochan couldn’t help frowning. “How inconvenient is it without a name? You are already a peak-level Venerable, one of the top existences in the Raging Sea. There are very few people stronger than you.”
The woman said, “In the outside world, I certainly have other code names. But in the Martial Emperor City, I am 3001.”
Obviously, this woman wouldn’t reveal any information except for her code name, so Xia Xiaochan didn’t ask further.
Seeing that they were about to reach the giant magnificent city, Han Fei said, “Since you’re here to welcome us, I guess you aren’t just here to lead the way and explain the Martial Emperor City to me?”
The woman said, “If the two of you are willing, you can go to the intelligence center of the Martial Emperor City to exchange some information with the Martial Emperor City. We value every piece of information and will give a satisfactory price for it.”
Han Fei smiled. “How much did I sell my last intelligence for?”
The woman said, “Twenty million ultra-quality spiritual stones.”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched.
Xia Xiaochan almost gaped in shock. She had been in the Merman Royal Family for more than 20 years and only got ten million ultra-quality spiritual stones, but it was not even as much as the money Han Fei earned from a piece of information?
Xia Xiaochan couldn’t help being a little confused. Had she been locked up for too long and couldn’t keep up with the situation?
Han Fei tried to suppress the shock in his heart and asked with a smile, “Then how much did you sell that information for?”
The woman said, “Sorry, this is a secret of our intelligence center. However, I can tell you the sales on the surface. When I go to pick you up, the total intelligence sales on the surface are 76 million ultra-quality spiritual stones.”
“F*ck…”
Han Fei finally couldn’t hold it anymore.
This number really shocked him. He never expected it to be so easy to make money. Han Fei also didn’t expect that a smart guy like Song Kaiyuan would sell his information at a low price.
As they said, the deal was 76 million on the surface. There must be other big transactions behind it! Wouldn’t they sell it for one or two hundred million?
Han Fei could understand.
“On the surface” meant the number that everyone could guess. Because everyone knew it, there was no need for them to hide it.
However, he had already sold it. This price was completely beyond his expectations.
Han Fei estimated that even if he were here, he might have sold it for only ten million. He couldn’t blame Song Kaiyuan for this.
Han Fei thought for a moment. “Okay, let’s go to the intelligence center.”
A moment later.
The woman took Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan to the gate of the Martial Emperor City.
At the city gate, someone would register.
After registration, a permanent ident.i.ty token would be given. It could be worn on the waist, similar to a star token, but not as many functions as a star token.
At the city gate, there were two advanced Venerables guarding. One was a shrimp soldier of the Hundred Demon Clan, and the other was a Half-Merman.
Han Fei raised his head and looked at the city gate. The gate was more than 200 meters high, and the city wall was more than 600 meters high. This scene was spectacular, but it didn’t surprise Han Fei.
Bada ~
Han Fei raised his head and saw that one or two drops of water would occasionally fall on the limestone on the city wall high above his head.
Han Fei even saw raindrops falling on the shrimp soldier’s head, but he didn’t seem to notice it. Han Fei couldn’t help but think, Is this what natural means?
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan entered the city gate. After pa.s.sing through an invisible barrier, they looked at the door almost at the same time and saw a turtle sleeping. The turtle’s aura was undoubtedly that of a Half-King.
Xia Xiaochan said, “I knew it. There must be a stronger gate-keeper at the city gate.”
The woman said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether there is a gate-keeper or not. With the barrier, even if someone commits a crime and wants to escape, the success rate has been nil.”
Han Fei shrugged. “Okay, let’s continue! Tell me what places in the Martial Emperor City are worth visiting. Oh, or rather, what large trading markets are there in the Martial Emperor City? The kind that can carry out large transactions…”
