Chapter 25 Olympia City
The star gate is in the middle of the fortress hall, and rooms are opened up on the walls around the hall. There are more than fifty floors in total, like several connected buildings.
Ji Xinghuo climbed to one of the floors and walked into a bank.
"Hello."
The clerk behind the counter greeted politely, "What service do you need, sir?"
“I want to withdraw cash.”
After Ji Xinghuo finished speaking, he entered his bank account number into the machine at the counter, and successfully logged in to his account by swiping his face and fingerprint.
As electronic devices cannot be used in the Star Realm, there is naturally no online payment.
But there are strong transaction needs.
So paper money, which has been eliminated for many years on earth, has become useful again. Before people enter the star realm, they will take out a sum of cash and carry it with them.
“Mr. Ji, how much do you want to withdraw?” The clerk took a look at Ji Xinghuo’s account information.
Ji Xinghuo replied: "One million."
"Please wait."
The bank clerk was not too surprised. Most of the aliens traveling between the earth and the star realm were very rich. Transactions ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions, and tens of millions occasionally occurred. There was nothing surprising about a mere million in cash. , encountered almost every day.
Ji Xinghuo waited patiently.
At this time, the bank information has been received on the mobile phone and one million has been withdrawn.
He looked at the balance and had an indescribable feeling.
That day, I received a gift of 10 million Asian dollars from Xia Qingyu. The championship prize for the Sheye Cup was more than 180,000 yuan. There was also a reward for killing Ji Zongbang. Adding his original savings, the total deposit reached more than 10.5 million yuan.
Honestly a multi-millionaire!
If you are an ordinary person, you can live happily for a lifetime.
But after buying the life spirit seed, he transferred another 700,000 to Lu Yunhai, and now withdrew 1 million in cash. In the blink of an eye, the deposit dropped to six figures.
"I have only been a multimillionaire for three days..." Ji Xinghuo sighed inwardly.
Soon, the bank clerk pushed a large pile of cash out from behind the counter, "Mr. Ji, your cash is ready, please count it."
Ji Xinghuo counted quickly.
According to his own requirements, 800,000 of the one million cash has a face value of 10,000 Asian dollars, 100,000 has a face value of 1,000 Asian dollars, 80,000 has a face value of 100 Asian dollars, and the remaining 20,000 has a face value of 50 Asian dollars and 10 Asian dollars. Yes, the bright red banknotes were bundled together and weighed several kilograms.
The bank very thoughtfully gave me a backpack, which just fit all the money into it.
Ji Xinghuo carried his backpack and returned to the Star Gate Hall.
He walked up an "entry channel", took a number, queued up, and moved behind the queue.
It is now past two o'clock in the morning, which is not the peak period for the Star Gate's traffic. The team moved forward very quickly. It approached the Star Gate in five minutes, and there were less than ten people left in front.
When Ji Xinghuo was about to arrive, he took out his mobile phone and entered his mailbox, and set up a scheduled sending of the emails and videos he had edited before.
A few hours later, when the brothers and sisters wake up, they will receive emails and know that they have entered the astral realm.
"it's your turn."
The people in front disappeared one by one, and finally it was Ji Xinghuo's turn.
The Astra Militarum soldier responsible for guarding this passage took a look at Ji Xinghuo and saw that he was dressed in casual clothes. Except for the bow bag on his back and the backpack he was carrying, he didn't look like he was going to fight at all. He could tell at a glance that he was entering for the first time. A newbie in the astral world, and alone.
The soldier frowned and shook his head secretly.
However, he didn't say anything to stop him. He checked Ji Xinghuo's identity again and waved to let him go.
Ji Xinghuo stepped onto the ring platform step by step. The star gate was already close at hand. Every time he took a step closer to it, the world around him became more distorted.
When he was only one step away from the star gate, looking around, he saw that the space he was in had been distorted to the extreme.
Can't hear sounds and can't see other people.
The whole world became quiet, as if I was the only one left, and there was only darkness in front of me.
Ji Xinghuo could only continue to walk forward, groping forward, and his hands seemed to touch something. At this moment, his feet were weightless, and the sky was spinning. His limbs subconsciously wanted to grab at random, but before he could act, he felt the earth again.
My eyes lit up.
Sight, hearing, smell, all perceptions are back.
Ji Xinghuo found himself standing in an open square. The ground was paved with flat rocks, and behind him was the dark star gate.
However, the star gate here is larger, and its diameter is obviously much larger than that of the Chaka Star Gate, with a visual estimate of more than fifty meters.
The astral realm at this time is daytime.
Ji Xinghuo looked up and saw that the sky was cloudless.
A golden sun hangs in the western sky. It is two or three times larger than the sun on the earth, but its light is not blazing. The sunspots on the surface of the sun are visible to the naked eye, which is very oppressive. It is facing the star every moment. The world radiates warm sunshine.
Surrounding the square is a huge city, but unlike modern cities on Earth, the buildings in the city are not high, with few exceeding ten floors.
The largest building in the city is the city wall, which is more than 100 meters high and has no end at a glance.
“Olympia!”
“I finally arrived in Olympia.”
Since the Star Gate opened in 2033, after 18 years of arduous and **** battles, humans on Earth have paid a heavy price to repel the alien invasion, counterattacked the Star Boundary, and finally regained control of the Star Gate.
In 2051, all the countries on earth at that time worked together to build this city around the star gate.
After voting, the city was named "Olympia"!
This is the place where the first Olympic Games were held in human history. The Astral Defense Council, which was still dominant at the time, quoted the slogan "Faster, Higher, Stronger—More United!"
Especially the phrase “more unity” was extremely in line with the common vision of all mankind at that time. So Olympia is also called the "City of Unity".
Although the name seemed ironic more than a century later, countries still used Olympia to call the city.
In the sky, a dozen huge peaks hang hundreds of meters in the air.
“Hanging Mountain!”
Ji Xinghuo saw Xuankong Mountain with his own eyes for the first time.
Each mountain peak has three or four thick chains anchored to the ground. They are huge but sway back and forth in the wind as if they are weightless.
“Huhuhu…”
Ji Xinghuo's breathing suddenly became a little rapid, and a strange feeling rushed straight to his brain with his breathing, but he got used to it after a few seconds.
“Is this the all-spirited air?” He felt very curious.
The "air" of the star realm has a different composition than the air of the earth. So far, scientists have not studied its composition.
What’s even more amazing is that not only humans can breathe this air, but all races that rely on breathing, whether they are natives of the astral world or aliens in the galaxy, can maintain life.
That’s why it’s called “the air of all spirits”.
“Go forward, don’t block others.” The Astra Militarum soldier next to him urged.
Ji Xinghuo quickly stepped forward and followed the crowd outside the square.
Although there are thirteen star gates on the earth, each star gate leads to the same place, which is the city's Star Gate Square. Entering the star realm from different star gates, when you arrive, you will appear in a relatively fixed area.
These thirteen areas are all fan-shaped, surrounding the star gate, and each fan-shaped area corresponds to a star gate on the earth.
The three stargates owned by the Asia-Pacific Community are connected in the transmission area.
In total, it occupies nearly a quarter of the area of the square. Eye-catching red lines are also drawn on the ground of the square. People walking in this area are all citizens of the Asia-Pacific Community.
Most of the urban areas in the extension direction of this area belong to the sphere of influence of the Asia-Pacific Community.
Ji Xinghuo walked to the edge of Star Gate Square and suddenly stopped.
He covered his right eye.
A stinging pain came from his brain, and the aperture in the pupil of his right eye flashed at a high frequency. Fortunately, it was daytime, and he covered his eyes in time so that no one noticed the abnormality.
The interface of Wanxiang Xingpu pops up automatically, and the stinging pain subsides quickly.
Three arrows appear on the periphery of the interface.
"What's this?"
Ji Xinghuo was surprised and looked carefully. The three arrows pointed in different directions and were of different sizes.
One of the arrows is the largest, more than ten times larger than the other two, which is very eye-catching.
He turned his body towards the largest arrow so that it was directly in front of him.
Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo heard a call from afar.
He vaguely sensed an unknown thing, which was closely related to his own existence. As long as he moved in this direction, he would be able to find it.
“Another part of Wanxiang Xingpu?”
"No way!"
Ji Xinghuo was surprised and happy.
He did not forget that the Wanxiang Star Pupil was broken. He thought it would be impossible to encounter it again, but he did not expect that he would find clues as soon as he entered the star realm.
Three arrows represent three broken parts?
He turned around again and found that the locations pointed by the other two arrows seemed to be extremely far away. Even if they were facing in the right direction, nothing could be sensed.
“Are you going to look for it?”
Ji Xinghuo looked at the largest arrow and felt a little hesitant.
People passing by saw him standing motionless on the edge of the square, and they all cast inquiring glances, including some extremely powerful strangers.
“Let’s find a place to stay first.”
Ji Xinghuo habitually took out his mobile phone and wanted to check the time, but found that the phone had been turned off.
The power shoes worn on the feet also lost their power, just like ordinary shoes.
In the star realm, all electronic equipment will fail.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
If you just rely on the scenery you see in front of you, it feels almost the same as on the earth. The air, the earth, the trees, the city, everything is so normal, you can't even imagine that this is another world.
The star realm is very similar to the planets in the Milky Way from a macro perspective. It is difficult to notice the difference when you are in a local part of it.
But its essential rules are completely different from those of the real universe!
Ji Xinghuo quickly left the Star Gate Square. He felt very dangerous here.
In the magnetic field induction, the continuous buildings outside the square are all military camps, where the Astra Militarum of the Asia-Pacific Community is stationed.
Deep in the military camp, there are several very powerful strangers.
"Those humanoid magnetic fields should be legendary aliens!" Ji Xinghuo didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he walked a few blocks in Olympia City and chose a hotel to stay.
After closing the door, Ji Xinghuo looked at the simple room without any electrical appliances and breathed a sigh of relief.
