Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 2450: Small but Well-Equipped
The Great City Lord glanced around and nodded, "When you put it like that, it's possible. However, the materials carried by the Saint Emperor must be extraordinary. The construction of this city is definitely not cheap!"
Su Yang chuckled, "In this Land of Chaos, the Saint Emperor is the least scarce. What do these materials matter?"
"What do you guys think, if we moved Bright City away, how much would it be worth?" The Second City Lord's eyes sparkled.
"Don't cause trouble!" Su Yang directly interrupted him, "I'm telling you, don't even think about that city. You all know why we came here. Also, the residents of that city might all be Saint Emperors. If we cause any trouble after entering, we won't even think about running!"
The Second City Lord pouted, although unwilling, he had to admit, there was no flaw in Su Yang's words.
"Let's enter this small city first!" The Great City Lord pointed at the small city ahead, "Let's go in and take a look, maybe we can ask around and get some understanding at least about Bright City. Also, why can't we enter the city for two years, isn't that strange!"
Su Yang nodded; he was quite curious about this question too.
The four of them headed straight for the small city; outside of it, they weren't hindered at all.
Once inside the small city, they found that this place didn't look much different from cities in the outside world. There were various buildings and all kinds of vendors and shops, restaurants for dining, inns for lodging, and places for buying and selling various goods.
"What kind of place is this exactly?" The Second City Lord couldn't help but transmit to Su Yang, "Have we entered a town in the Nine Realms? How come everything is here? Food, lodging, essentials? And there are all these Saint Emperors, but do they need this stuff?"
"Do Saint Emperors need nothing?" Su Yang couldn't help but give him a glare.
The Second City Lord said, "No, Saint Emperors can survive by directly absorbing Spiritual Energy, they don't need food or drink. Also, clothing—what's the point of it? Saint Emperors can conjure a set out of nowhere. And why accommodations? Are Saint Emperors afraid of catching a cold in the wind? What kind of goods are sold here? What's the deal with buying and selling goods?"
"You say it so nicely, then why do you eat so much stuff every day outside?" Su Yang glared, "You can go without food, directly absorb Spiritual Energy. But you eat more than those who can't go without food, what's that about?"
"Uh..." The Second City Lord was a bit embarrassed, "I... it's not that I don't enjoy it, I have no other hobbies but love good food. Even if I'm a Saint Emperor, I shouldn't give up my basic interests, right!"
"You have interests, but other Saint Emperors can't?" Su Yang said, "Others can't enjoy eating?"
"This..." The Second City Lord scratched his head and finally nodded, "You're right, but living here is already so difficult, why bother with those things?"
"Difficulty varies; for those in the branches it's difficult, but for those established in the main part, not necessarily!" The Great City Lord said directly, "And didn't you see earlier? There is such a big main city. That main city is like a dynasty. Those who can live here have overcome basic survival needs. Since survival isn't an issue, a bit of other pursuit is normal!"
"Alright, you're right!" The Second City Lord said, "But where do they get food here? There's nothing here, what do they cook with?"
"Wasn't it clearly stated earlier?" The Third City Lord couldn't help but say, "So many Saint Emperors entered with Personal Space, various Space Artifacts, they have everything in them!"
"..." The Second City Lord was silent for a while before saying, "Then what's the deal with selling clothes?"
"Look closely, they wrote 'armor'!" The Great City Lord said, "I say, can't you look clearly before you speak? It's not regular clothes inside, it's armor. Saint Emperors don't need ordinary clothes, but can you conjure armor?"
"Uh..." The Second City Lord was somewhat desperate, finally saying, "Then what about the accommodations? Are they useful?"
Both the Great City Lord and the Third City Lord looked at Su Yang; they too didn't understand the purpose of the inn.
"There's a strong scent of Spiritual Energy behind the inn." Su Yang said softly, "I suspect it's not just an inn, it's a cultivation ground. Normal Spiritual Sources can't produce such thick Spiritual Energy. There might be a high-level Spiritual Source inside the inn, suitable for cultivation and healing."
"I see!" The three Crystal Skulls suddenly understood, and the Great City Lord sighed, "It really is like a small sparrow with all internal organs complete. It seems the main part's situation is more complex than we imagined!"
Su Yang nodded and said softly, "Looking at the current situation, if we don't have Spiritual Sources in this small city, we probably can't accomplish anything!"
The three Crystal Skulls nodded simultaneously, realizing everything inside was traded with Spiritual Sources. Without them, you really can't do anything.
"We need to take out some Spiritual Sources, otherwise we won't be able to do anything!" Su Yang said softly.
"Take out Spiritual Sources?" The Second City Lord said in surprise, "Boss, if we take out Spiritual Sources, aren't we worried about being robbed?"
"No worries!" Su Yang shook his head, "I noticed people seem much more reserved near the main city, there won't be any Spiritual Source robbery. Otherwise, in this small city, there are so many people acting alone, they also carry plenty of Spiritual Sources, why didn't they get robbed!"
"So in the vicinity of the main city, there are actually rules!" The Great City Lord nodded, "I think so too, otherwise, that inn alone would've long been robbed. Such rich Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Sources must be extraordinary. If there were no rules in the main city, who knows what would have happened!"
"Should we take out some Spiritual Sources?" The Second City Lord looked excitedly at the distant inn, "We could go inside the inn to gather information; that's where the most diverse people are!"
"I think you're focused on the food!" The Great City Lord glared at him, telling Su Yang, "Boss, don't mind him, we need to focus on business!"
"I'm talking about focusing on business!" The Second City Lord said indignantly, "The inn, with so many people and loose tongues, it's the most suitable place, isn't it?"
