Today’s first update: Chapter 318~ Today is the anniversary of my grandpa’s death, so I updated it early, and there will be two more updates tonight!
…
"Auntie, here are two teleportation scrolls to Olympus City, and two return scrolls to Yanhuang City, thank you!"
At the door of the store, Sikong Ting showed what he thought was a "charming" smile and said to the potbellied store aunt.
The shop aunt who was eating melon seeds made a move. After looking around, she finally confirmed that Sikong Ting was talking to her.
He immediately said with a slightly ferocious look on his face: "Who are you calling aunt?"
"You...you..." Sikong Ting took two steps back, really frightened.
"fart!"
"Olympus City teleportation scroll, right? Two C-level spiritual stones, and I can only sell you one, the Yanhuang City return scroll, one D-level spiritual stone per piece, how much does it cost?"
Sikong Ting swallowed and said, "Isn't it just one C-level spiritual stone... And when did the purchase limit come to a halt?"
"If I wish, can you take care of it?" the store aunt said with her nostrils pointing to the sky.
Sikong Ting was not angry and was about to argue with the store aunt, but Xu Kun behind him quickly grabbed him.
"Little sister!"
The store aunt was startled, looked Xu Kun up and down, couldn't help but licked the corner of her mouth and said, "What a handsome little brother, are you calling me?"
Xu Kun held back his nausea, showed a professional fake smile and said: "Of course, do you think there is any other young lady here besides you?"
"Hehehe..." The store aunt covered her mouth and snickered, but her short carrot fingers couldn't block the bloody mouth.
"Whatever you want, little brother, I'll give you a discount!"
"Two teleportation scrolls to Olympus City, plus ten return scrolls to Yanhuang City, do you think that's OK?"
"Of course, just give me two C-level spiritual stones in total!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Xu Kun said, took out two C-level spiritual stones and handed them over.
The shop aunt immediately took out a stack of scrolls, paid the money with one hand, and delivered the goods with the other hand, but she quietly touched Xu Kun's little hand.
Xu Kun was immediately frightened so much that goosebumps stood up on his skin.
Mom, I want to go home, this aunt wants to eat people!
"Brother, please come back next time. In addition to buying all kinds of things, you can also learn sewing skills~"
The store aunt had cunning shoulders, and her oily suspender skirt slid down, revealing her pride.
As he spoke, he also cast a flirtatious look at Xu Kun. Xu Kun, who was used to seeing beauties, felt his stomach start to turn upside down!
She was so frightened that her legs tightened, and she quickly said perfunctorily: "Okay, young lady, I'll give you a chance next time. I have something else to do now, so I'll go and do it first!"
"Goodbye, little brother~Trojan~"
"Let's go!" Xu Kun pulled Sikong Ting and left without looking back.
[Ding, your actions make the store aunt feel good about you, and the store aunt’s friendliness towards you reaches Friendly! 】
Sikong Ting, who was being pulled by Xu Kun, said with resentment on his face: "There is still such a thing. To sell something, you have to wait for someone to buy it? Am I not handsome?"
Hmm~ How should I put it? The childish Sikong Ting looks like the little boy next door. Obviously the store aunt won’t like him. Xu Kun, who has a very handsome appearance, is naturally the type to kill both young and old. How could he not? Love!
Xu Kun sighed and said: "When you are in the world, you can't help yourself!"
With that said, he handed one of the teleportation scrolls from Olympus City to Sikong Ting. The two tore open the scroll, and the power in it enveloped the two of them. After a lot of spinning, they reappeared, already standing on a tower. Among the completely different cities in Yanhuang City!
"We are the same human race. Is the cultural environment so different?" Xu Kun was a little surprised when he came into contact with the architectural style outside the Jiangnan base city for the first time.
The buildings here are generally taller, often supported by huge pillars.
Many towering buildings, as the terrain changes, extend from low to high, all the way to the center. You can see the towering temple reaching into the clouds from a very far away, and the surrounding buildings look like they were built to protect the center!
Sikong Ting smiled. As a direct descendant of the Sikong family, he obviously has richer knowledge in this area.
"The architectural style of Olympus City was built according to the Homeric civilization thousands of years ago!"
"The base cities in the Mediterranean, which are both human beings but worship the King of the Gods, maintain a high degree of autonomy. Even when Master Tianyan was in power, he only had the right to make major decisions. Specific affairs in the major base cities were still left to local personnel. Those who are responsible, outsiders are not allowed to interfere!”
"Similarly, this city of Olympus was also built by the ancestors of this part of the human race in a traditional style, adapting to local conditions. The materials used for construction here are mostly stones and wood, and the architectural style is a beam and column system!"
Xu Kun nodded and studied with an open mind.
After briefly appreciating the architectural style of Olympus City, Xu Kun downloaded a local map. Following the map instructions, the two of them headed to the location of Thunder Swamp!
"Hey, there are so many people!" Sikong Ting said in surprise.
The secret realm of Thunder Swamp is located in a large forest in the center of the city. When the two arrived, there was already a lot of noise here.
"As the most symbolic secret realm in Olympus City, it is naturally more popular, but most people should not be qualified to enter this secret realm!" Xu Kun said with a smile.
The fact is exactly as he said. Even though there are so many people here, most of them are looking for team formation on the periphery!
This group of people basically cannot meet the three conditions for entering the Thunder Swamp. They want to hug their thighs and find an idle lightning powerhouse to hang out in the secret realm!
But it's not that easy!
I passed by the crowd of people looking for thighs and went inside. I found that the people who had already formed a team actually still needed to queue up.
"Do we have to queue up to enter the secret realm?" Xu Kun looked at Sikong Ting and asked.
Sikong Ting shook his head: "I've never heard of it. Isn't there an unlimited number of teams in the secret realm?"
"Let's go over and have a look!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the two follow the team forward.
After a while, I heard a conflict in front.
Xu Kun habitually used his metal bracelet to translate the other person's language.
"Why do you have to pay the entrance fee to enter the secret realm? There has never been such a rule!"
"My rules are rules. If you don't want to pay the ticket price, then leave, or meet another condition!"
"Fuck your grandma, is your other condition reasonable? We have just entered the tenth level, who has time to learn other life skills!"
"Then get out!"
"Damn it, do you know who I am? I am..."
"I don't care who you are, this order was given by Caesar himself. No matter how powerful your family is, can it be as powerful as Caesar?"
The person who spoke immediately blushed: "But the ticket fee is too expensive!"
"It's too expensive. That's easy. Go ask your family for it!"
…
"Ticket fee?" Sikong Ting was stunned.
This is really a knife in the ass, it opened my eyes!
The secret realms left by the ancestors of the human race, such as Thunder Swamp, have always been the common resources of the human race. As long as they meet the entry requirements, they can enter freely. If there is a fee, it will only be partially obtained after the trialists have gained something in the secret realm. The attribute spirit is dedicated to the secret realm opener!
I have never heard of, or even heard of, anyone who has to pay the entrance fee before entering the secret realm!
Absolutely ridiculous!
It seems that the ticket fee to enter the Thunder Swamp is not cheap. Some of the trialists who met the entry requirements were repelled by the high ticket fee!
The people responsible for collecting ticket fees have high status and strength. The key is that they have the endorsement of a big boss behind them, so they can be confident!
The few who wanted to use their family background to force them to let go were all shocked by the unity!
Someone said angrily: "The worst I can do is not clean Thunder Swamp anymore. It's the same thing if I change to a secret realm. Bah, what the hell!"
The team responsible for collecting admission fees smiled and said: "Boy, listen carefully. From today on, not only Thunder Swamp will charge admission fees, but also all the secret places in Olympus City will have dedicated people to collect fees, and each one will charge admission fees." The entrance fee to the secret realm is the same, if you don’t pay here, it will be the same elsewhere!”
The man who cursed immediately showed an angry look, but his elbow couldn't twist his thigh, so he could only swallow his anger!
Seeing this, the rest of the people who could afford the entrance fee held their noses and paid for it. That person was right. If you want to visit the thunder-type secret realm, Thunder Swamp is definitely the first choice!
Not to mention that other secret places are not as good as Thunder Swamp, and the entrance fee is the same, so there is no need to waste your time!
Complaints abounded, and those who could afford the ticket fees went in. Those who couldn't afford the sky-high ticket fees had no choice but to leave, probably trying to find a way to go to other main cities to explore secret realms!
Xu Kun and Sikong Ting at the back of the team did not speak. Through observation, they also discovered that the so-called ticket fee actually required a B-level spiritual stone!
For these trialists who have just entered level 10 and level 0, it is indeed a sky-high price.
"Boss, we..."
"Pay the fee obediently. After all, this is not our Chinese clan's territory!" Xu Kun said calmly.
Sikong Ting nodded. This fee was nothing to the two of them.
Soon, it was their turn.
The person responsible for collecting the ticket fees was a left-behind person similar to Yue Yun from Yanhuang City. The leader looked at the appearance of Xu Kun and the two, and there was a clear difference in appearance from the trialists in Olympus City.
"Which main city are you from?" the leader asked.
"Coming from Yanhuang City!"
"Chinese clan?"
"right!"
"For the original residents of Olympus City, the entrance fee is one B-level spiritual stone. For you, you need to pay two!"
"Why!" Sikong Ting couldn't bear it anymore.
The other party looked at Sikong Ting indifferently: "If you can't pay, go back to your Yanhuang City!"
Xu Kun stopped Sikong Ting's next words and glanced at the leader indifferently: "If you ask more, the secret realm charges, aren't you afraid of being denounced by the entire human race?"
The other party felt a little uncomfortable with Xu Kun's eyes, so he took a step back and said, "It depends on who gave the order. Do you think they dare to resist?"
The leader pointed his finger at those testers who could not afford the fees and could only leave silently.
"I heard it. What you just said was Caesar. If you are right, he should be a powerful emperor, right?"
"You know and you still ask?"
"But Thunder Swamp is a secret realm left by the King of Gods. Even that Emperor Caesar dares to offend the King of Gods?"
"Hahaha, Chinese people, you asked a very stupid question. Emperor Caesar is the disciple of the King of Gods in Blue Star. Do you think the King of Gods will blame him for this?"
Xu Kun understood that Caesar was just an excuse. The real order was to let Thunder Swamp... Oh no, it was Zeus, the King of Gods, who collected the entrance fee to the secret realm of Olympus City!
But as the Lord of the Human Race, does he need, or rather care about, the mere spiritual stone collected from the ticket fee?
"I understand, but I just heard that besides paying the entrance fee, there is another way to enter Thunder Swamp. Can you tell me what this way is?"
Xu Kun asked calmly.
"This method is not difficult, and even you Chinese people treat everyone equally. That means one of you needs to be able to master the casting technique and show off your casting hammer, so that you can enter!"
"No other requirements?" Xu Kun narrowed his eyes.
"No, but remember, the casting technique you master must be at least E-level!" the leader replied seriously.
A light flashed in Xu Kun's eyes.
"Huaxia tribe, how about you, can you meet this condition? If not, just pay the ticket fee or leave here!"
Xu Kun smiled and said nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to learn the art of casting, but I have the spirit stone, so I will treat it as a filial piety to Lord Caesar!"
With that said, Xu Kun took out two B-level spiritual stones and handed them to the leader.
The leader raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that these two people were so generous.
However, they will not deliberately embarrass those who have paid the entrance fee and will let them go immediately.
After Xu Kun and the two entered the country as the last wave, the other sergeants also gathered around: "Boss, does all the income this time really belong to us?"
"Of course!" With that said, the leader took out some low-level spiritual stone fragments from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
As for the B-level spiritual stones obtained through means similar to "blackmail", they all belong to him!
"The entrance fee is only a small amount. If we can find a target that meets Lord Caesar's requirements, each of us can get a fortune that is enough for a lifetime. Unfortunately, people have entered almost all the time, but the target is still not found, and I don't know what else is there. Did you find anything at the entrance to the secret realm?"
"Boss, it's level 10 and 0. It's simply impossible to master the E-level casting technique. Why would Lord Caesar ask us to find such an impossible target?"
"Shut up, what do you know? Do you and I need to guess what important people do?"
…
Walking into the depths of the forest, Sikong Ting said displeasedly: "Boss, why should you be polite to them? These people are too presumptuous and blatantly use public resources to collect fees. If you ask me, I have to show them some respect!"
As a child of the Sikong family, especially now that he has become the future successor that the Sikong family focuses on training, he does not need to look at the face of Caesar.
Xu Kun was sullen all the way, but after hearing Sikong Ting's words, he stopped.
"Do you think their purpose is to charge money?"
"What if?"
Xu Kun shook his head: "Another way to enter the secret realm without paying a fee is their real purpose!"
"You mean, that Emperor Caesar is looking for someone who can master the E-level casting technique at level 10 and level 0?"
"It's not Caesar the Great, to be precise, it's the King of the Gods!"
Sikong Ting pursed his lips: "Level 10, level 0, who has the time to learn casting skills? And it is impossible to advance to level E casting skills in such a short period of time. I think they just want to charge a fee." , and also deliberately gave a way that is impossible to be free!"
"Who said it's impossible?" Xu Kun raised his eyebrows.
Sikong Ting opened his mouth, but Xu Kun had already stepped inside.
Sikong Ting, who was not stupid, looked at Xu Kun's back as if he had thought of something.
The person they are looking for...is Xu Kun?
"Boss, wait for me!"
