“The way to leave?” Everyone looked at Lu Yu in astonishment.
However, they soon both showed expressions of surprise and delight.
If Lu Yu received such news, they wouldn’t have to worry at all.
You can go out anytime you want.
Hailong urged anxiously, “Quick, tell me, what’s the news?”
Lu Yu said, “In the past two days, from what I’ve heard from others, beast tides have erupted in this city more than ten times. Perhaps all these people subconsciously believe are real are merely memories bestowed upon them by so-called deities. Yet the battle between Stone City and the beast tides has never truly ended. Maybe this is the way to leave.”
A thought stirred in everyone’s heart: “Are you saying we should end this war?”
“This is just my guess,” Lu Yu said with a shake of his head and a sigh. “I can’t be sure whether it’s true or not.”
Yansen said seriously, “This city is extremely ancient; judging by its scale, it has existed for countless years. But this doesn’t look like the result of merely ten beast tide outbreaks. I suspect these ten beast tides correspond to the number of times humans have entered here.”
The King of Reincarnation said, “That means no one passed through; in the end, they all remained here.”
“This is just a guess,” said Luyu. “This mysterious space wouldn’t give us an easy task, leaving only the hardest challenges for us. Therefore, I think it’s safe to assume that the way to leave will be difficult. Ending this war isn’t the only challenge in this space. The city lord of Stone City is a mystery, and the Great Beast King of the beast tide is another. Replacing either of these two or perhaps killing one of them might also be the way to leave.”
Lu Yu suddenly realized, “Perhaps Luo Mo became the lord because he saw something and wanted to challenge step by step.”
The Black Dragon King said, “Yesterday, the Violent King mentioned possibly leaving the city. Perhaps it had noticed something as well, and might be entering the mountains to challenge the Great Beast King.”
Hailong said seriously, “No matter which one is the way to leave. None of these three methods will be too simple.”
“That’s right. Without thorough preparation, recklessly challenging will only lead to failure,” Regal King Zun said seriously. “It seems we’ll have to stay here for quite a while.”
“Many things in this city are of unknown origin, but their qualities are quite good. If possible, we should try to search around; we might gain some unexpected treasures. This space definitely holds more than just challenges—it must contain some invaluable treasures that don’t exist in the real world. If we can obtain one or two of them, the boost to our strength goes without saying.”
Everyone turned their gaze toward Lu Yu together.
When it comes to improvement, who at Lu Yu has the most obvious enhancing strength, even without a crown.
It’s not Wang Zun, nor is it Wang.
Even his Ren skill alone was enough to hold his own against eleven Wangzun-level opponents.
The power of the “King Without a Crown” is truly becoming stronger and more terrifying as he progresses.
Everyone made a new agreement that, unless there was an unexpected situation, they would gather here once every day.
After confirming their feelings for each other, everyone parted ways.
In this city as vast as a country, shops stand side by side.
Even if everyone wanted to visit all of them, it would take at least three years.
Lu Yu received a message on the seventh day after entering the space.
A Wangzun with fifth-level authority challenged the Killing Battlefield but failed and died within.
The deceased King Zun was a powerful figure who resurrected as a heavily armored warrior.
Lu Yu finally realized that on the battlefield of slaughter, there were only two choices: to pass through or to die.
This is a city with an extremely rigid hierarchy, where authority plays a far greater role than one might imagine.
Level ten clearance is like heaven. And with level nine clearance, excluding myself, there are only three people.
The power of these three men in this world was immense; they could command almost a fifth of the city’s strength with just a single sentence.
If a master craftsman like Da Bing has a task, as soon as the word spreads, more than half of the city’s lords would likely be willing to lend a hand.
This is where the power and strength lie.
Of course, Level 9 clearance allows for much more than just these actions.
Lu Yu walked into a shop and asked, “Boss, what is the most valuable and best item you have here?”
This is a prop shop that not only sells Star Gems but also various rare and precious items.
Lu Yu stayed in this area for two days before he finally found out about this store.
This is the largest shop within hundreds of miles. Someone once sold materials for crafting star artifacts here.
A clerk glanced at Lu Yu, and seeing that he was not dressed extravagantly nor exuded the arrogant aura typical of the wealthy, couldn’t help but wear a disdainful expression as he said, “Sir, whatever you desire, we have it here.”
“So?” Lu Yu detected the disdain in the clerk’s tone, but it didn’t surprise him much.
Because he wasn’t wearing armor worth a fortune or carrying a top-tier star weapon, he indeed didn’t look like a wealthy person.
“Sir, our shop is the largest one within hundreds of miles. You can find whatever you’re looking for right here. Not long ago, we even sold materials for crafting star artifacts. If you’re interested, you can place an order with us.”
The fellow knew that Lu Yu couldn’t afford it, so he deliberately said those words, hoping to make Lu Yu back down.
He has met people like this too many times to count.
He doesn’t have much money at all, yet he still insists on putting on airs here.
Without using starmetal materials, a single Grade-3000 triple-attribute star weapon would be enough to silence all these people.
The fellow deliberately mentioned the material of the Star Artifact, hoping to shut the man up and make him leave quietly.
Lu Yu glanced at the伙计 and asked, “Do you have Dragonfruit?”
The伙计 was taken aback, clearly not expecting Lu Yu to ask for such a thing.
“Do you?” Lu Yu asked again with a smile.
“No,” the waiter hesitated for a moment before replying.
Lu Yu continued to ask, “What about the Poison Dragon’s Soul?”
The fellow’s face twitched a couple of times, and in the end, he shook his head again.
Lu Yu asked again, “Do you have a King-level mutated Star Spirit Pearl?”
“You, you’re here to cause trouble?” The young man jumped up, pointing at Lu Yu with clenched teeth and said, “Don’t even mention that what you’re talking about doesn’t belong to us, even the entire Stone City wouldn’t have anything like that.”
“No, don’t say that everything is for sale. Your behavior will affect the business of this shop. Do you think there’s anything else that could catch my eye if it weren’t for these?”
A faint sneer flickered across the young man’s lips as he puffed out his chest and said, “We don’t have those. However, we do have the main ingredients for star artifacts—one set costs at least one hundred billion. Can you even afford that?”
“What’s the point of just talking? You haven’t even mentioned the main ingredient yet, so how can you casually ask for a price of one billion?”
“Have you heard of the Starlight Grass?” The man was convinced that Lu Yu was just looking for trouble, so he didn’t believe at all that Lu Yu would know what the Starlight Grass was.
Lu Yu said, “If it’s of the highest quality, I’ll pay one hundred billion. But if you bring me something of ordinary quality, it’s worthless in my eyes.”
“You show me the money, and I’ll get it for you right away,” said the shop assistant, eyeing Lu Yu impatiently. “If you can’t come up with the cash, then scram.”
“I can see you’re not the one making decisions here. Go get your boss,” Lu Yu said, not wanting to waste time arguing with a mere employee.
This space is truly fascinating.
Everyone’s personality and attitude are different.
If it weren’t for the fact that I had just come in from outside not long ago, I would have truly believed this was the real world.
For something worth one hundred billion, it’s already quite good if one of his partners knows about it.
I’m afraid he doesn’t have the authority to take it out either.
Lu Yu stepped past the clerk and walked into the store.
“This gentleman, we don’t welcome troublemakers here,” the waiter said rudely, stepping forward to block Lu Yu’s way.
“I don’t want to waste my time here with you.”
Lu Yu waved his hand and pushed the伙计 aside, then walked into the store and shouted loudly, “Boss, I heard you have Starlight Grass here. Bring it out and show me.”
There were quite a few people in the store.
Some were companions, others were buyers, but upon hearing the name “Starlight Grass,” they all looked up and stopped what they were doing.
A rather solemn middle-aged man immediately stepped forward with a bow and smiled, saying, “Sir, if you’re looking for Starlight Grass, we happen to have the finest specimen available here.”
“Alright, bring it out. I’ll take it.” Lu Yu waved his hand and said, “And what’s the best thing here? Give me a list—I’d like to see it.”
The man blocking Lu Yu’s way shouted loudly, “Boss, don’t listen to him. He’s just here to cause trouble. I just asked him to show the money first, and he…”
Bang!
A dull thud echoed through the shop, interrupting the clerk’s words.
Lu Yu slapped a small bottle onto the table.
The伙计 was taken aback, and the boss was also stunned.
The boss picked up the small bottle, opened it for a quick look, and then stared at Lu Yu in horror, gripping the small bottle tightly yet very cautiously with both hands.
The fellow pointed at Luyu and said, “If you don’t have money, don’t buy anything. Just take a small bottle—”
Bang!
The boss狠狠slapped one of the waiters across the face, then pointed at several of them and roared angrily, “Throw this guy out! I don’t want this kind of eyeless bastard working here!”
The伙计 (fellow) had not yet recovered from the slap he received when he was seized by several other伙计 (fellows) and carried out of the store.
The boss then bowed to the other customers in the store and said apologetically, “Everyone, I’m very sorry. Something has come up at the shop today, so I must ask you all to leave temporarily.”
The boss spoke up, and the staff immediately began asking the guests to leave.
Many people saw the bottle that Lu Yu had taken a picture of, and they all became very puzzled.
What could possibly be inside that would cause the boss to react so strongly?
After the store was completely emptied, the owner even sent away the staff.
At this moment, the shop was left with only Lu Yu and the shop owner.
At this moment, the boss finally extended his hand and carefully handed the bottle back to Lu Yu. He asked respectfully, “Sir, do you really want that Starlight Grass?”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “If the stardust grass here is the best, then I’m still interested.”
“Don’t worry, this Starlight Grass is definitely the best,” the shopkeeper hurriedly said, rubbing his hands together as he led Lu Yu toward the back of the store.
Lu Yu walked and asked, “Boss, besides the Starlight Grass, do you have anything else good here?”
The boss chuckled and said, “That depends on what you, sir, would like to have, doesn’t it?”
Lu Yu said, “I want the best, and the most unique. As for the money, you don’t need to worry about that.”
The boss suddenly came to a stop, pulling out a stone from his bosom and smiling, “Sir, although the item in your bottle is valuable, it doesn’t mean that you can freely enter my warehouse just with the money in your hand. According to the rules, may I see your authorization?”
Lu Yu has become very proficient in the use of permissions.
This stone has the same capability as the stone tablet and can also test one’s authority.
Level 9 authority truly holds immense power; aside from the City Lord’s Mansion, there are very few places it cannot access.
When Lu Yu’s palm landed on the stone in the boss’s hand, the light emanating from it became blinding and dazzling.
Although Lu Yu’s hand had only touched the stone for a split second, the light emanating from it nearly blinded the boss’s eyes.
“Oh!”
The boss let out a strange cry, and the stone in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
The boss knelt heavily on both knees onto the ground with a thud, and, touching his head to the floor, he trembled as he said, “I didn’t know it was you, sir. Please forgive me.”
The moment the boss thought of that fellow, he felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold.
He felt like dying.
Level nine, level nine!
A person with level-nine authority actually came to his little shop—was this a joke or a dream?
Lu Yu raised his hand to signal the boss to get up and said sternly, “I don’t want anyone to know about my affairs, so you must keep my privileges confidential.”
“No, no, I dare not! I would never let a single word slip out. Whatever the honorable sir values most, please just tell me. I, I won’t take a single coin from you.”
The boss’s voice started to tremble.
“What do you have in this warehouse? Show me first.”
The boss kept nodding and bowing, saying, “Honorable sir, please feel free to take a look. Although my shop might not be the largest in the city, we just received several new items yesterday, and I’m sure you’ll find something to your liking.”
