Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 593: Newly Arrived

"Fortunately, it's not too much of a pitfall!"

After reading this information, Li Wei had a slight understanding in his heart.

Old Vere should have long ago determined that he would definitely be able to obtain the Entry Pass. And with this Ghost-Head Pass, his chances of not being exposed would be lowered by a lot again.

At this time, Li Wei looked at the seemingly still bustling and lively interior of the city, and then looked at the scattered residential houses, pedestrians, and street vendors outside the city. As expected, he sensed a few extremely concealed gazes.

Thus, he first nodded in greeting towards those two gate-guarding old and young Soldiers, and then turned back. Because very obviously, the outside here was the true Neutral City.

No, it was this seemingly unremarkable city gate guarded by this old and young pair that was the Neutral City.

Whether it was the residential houses outside, or the pedestrians, including those street vendors—all of them, just like Li Wei, were outsiders, subordinate to various different organizations.

If he hadn't walked this circle previously, he probably wouldn't have thought of this layer.

Haha, very thrilling ah. Who knows how many Samsara Travelers, Contractors, and members of other organizations there are in this place? Three to five hundred, or two to three thousand?

It truly was A Gathering of Sages!No, it couldn't be said like this. Because this Channel was exactly the Channel frequently used by Samsara Travelers and Contractors. Li Wei was like a little sheep entering a wolf's den.

As these thoughts flashed through his heart, Li Wei casually came before a street vendor who had set up a stall. This position was relatively good. And previously, quite a few "Farmers" had lingered here. Including right now, there were two people there. Obviously, this fellow had some good goods in his hands, to the extent that it made people linger and forget to leave.

This street vendor similarly had the appearance of a Farmer: wearing Straw Sandals, wearing a Straw Hat, and having a set of Coarse Cloth Garb on his body. The whole person looked dark and silent, without any distinguishing features. If one didn't know the inside story, who could have thought that this honest-looking farmer uncle was actually a powerful existence of at least Tier 4 Legend, or even Fifth-tier Epic?

And that kind of Straw Sandals, Straw Hat, and Coarse Cloth Garb also contained some unknown power, unexpectedly able to conceal everyone's aura and strength tightly and solidly.

Put this way, even if Li Wei had started strolling around randomly here from the beginning, there was a high probability he wouldn't have spilled the beans either.

At this time, that stall owner raised his head and shot a glance at Li Wei. It was unknown what he did, but anyway, the Ghost-Head Token in Li Wei's hand vibrated slightly, seemingly sensing something.

The next second, a few lines of information floated up before his eyes.

[The vendor of unknown identity has opened exhibition mode to you. You can now see the items he truly wishes to sell. Explanation: His trading mode prioritizes bartering, with additional requirements: Gear that can increase Sanity, or potions that can resist Fifth-Tier Blood Plague, or Source Ore that can enhance Chaotic Titles. Does not accept Nightmare Gold Coins, Reincarnation Coins, Apostle Coins, or Renegade Coins. But can accept Neanderthal Gold Coins, Fairy Coins, Elf Coins, Succubus Coins, and Goblin Coins.]

[He displays the following goods to you:]

[A: A Gatling Heavy Machine Gun of unknown origin. Preliminarily judged to be of Six-Star Quality, and has undergone unknown Enchantment. The advantage of this item lies in that it has a small Spatial Array embedded within, with ninety million rounds of ammunition built-in. Therefore, it is euphemistically called infinite ammunition. And before the ammunition is exhausted, the Spatial Array embedded in this weapon will self-destruct at a suitable time, in order to avoid post-sales problems appearing.]

[B: A Cape of unknown origin. Preliminarily judged to be of Six-Star Quality, suspected to be made from a Burial Shroud. It is tainted with the cursed blood of an unknown creature. Every time it is equipped, Collective Sanity -5 points. But at the same time, one can transform into an undead form, unable to be harmed by any physical attacks below Six-Star. Especially towards a Ranger's Resonance Arrow of All Fates, it is an almost 100% exemption from damage. Even for an Origin Arrow, it can only deal 20% damage to it. But if it encounters a holily enhanced weapon of Seven-Star or above, it will be completely countered.]

[C: A Dragon Egg infected by Sixth-Tier Blood Plague that is already unable to hatch. But the magical bloodline origin of a Frost Dragon can still be unearthed from within it. Provided you can find a Level 4 Mage Tower, and the master of the Mage Tower is willing to help you.]

[D: An unyielding Soul. Originated from the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. His name is Orleans, a Fifth-Order Ranger. Not long ago, he was ambushed and hunted down by a temporarily allied team of Samsara Travelers, Contractors, and Renegades.]

[E: An ancient, somewhat damaged Cursed Wand. Preliminarily judged to be of Seven-Star quality, suspected to be an Origin Wand used by Ancient Mages. But it already has some functional loss, and is now corrupted by complex, evil power.]

Good Heavens, this brother is actually a big shot!

Li Wei very much wanted to purchase that unhatchable Dragon Egg. Just by feeling, he knew this thing was very beneficial for Adai's advancement. Perhaps he could comprehend some more Ice Magic. But he also didn't dare act rashly, because he certainly didn't have any Gear that could increase Sanity. And the Anti-Blood Plague Potion prepared for him by Second Aunt, he still needed to keep for his own use.

As for Neanderthal Gold Coins, he was afraid of leaking his whereabouts.

So after pretending to look for a while, Li Wei still turned his head and left.

Next, he successively strolled around in front of other street vendors. There were truly many good things, but there wasn't a single one he could purchase. Fortunately, this also wouldn't arouse suspicion, because people wandering randomly like him were similarly many.

It felt like this place was more like a massively scaled Multiverse Black Market. Bartering was the most popular trading mode here, and moreover taxes wouldn't be collected. But the Gold Coins issued by the Major Organizations themselves had instead become something rotting in the streets here; nobody wanted them.

Going in Circles, Li Wei looked through over a hundred street vendors in one breath. These vendors were not fixed; people would join at any time, and people would finish setting up their stalls at any time. Every moment, a large amount of trading was being generated secretly. The trading volume was extremely large, quite having an appearance of vigorous vitality.

It seemed that regardless of what organization's people they were, they would all try their best to bring out good things here, or try their best to purchase some good things.

There were even some people who, upon discovering good things, would immediately start setting up a stall nearby to conduct designated trading because they didn't have the corresponding Gear to exchange.

In this process, Li Wei's heart was moved at least a hundred times.

Later, his heart was moved so much it became numb.

Such a trading peak continuously lasted for over two hours. Until the sun went down, some people began to disperse. Some people were still setting up stalls, waiting for sellers suitable for themselves. Some people stepped into the city gates in groups of twos and threes. But there were still some people scattered, gathering at the city gates, seemingly waiting for people to form teams.

This place was very interesting ah.

Li Wei himself actually wasn't in a hurry to continue entering the city. Instead, he began to wander around the residential area outside the city. Because he discovered that there were still true natives of the Neutral City here. Because these seemingly ordinary houses, as long as one got close, the Ghost-Head Pass would slightly vibrate, giving the information prompt that this was a private residence and unauthorized entry was forbidden.

But sometimes it would also trigger some task information.

For example—

[Hunt down a Seven-Star Blood Plague Zombie. Disassemble its Magic Core. Requirement: The Magic Core cannot have any damage.]

[Think of a way to purchase one thousand units of Five-Star quality wheat or rice.]

[Deliver a batch of goods to the Yuelai Inn in the city.]

Li Wei hesitated for a long time, ultimately choosing the task that looked safest: namely, delivering goods.

After he accepted the task, a dark and rough-looking Farmer walked out from that room carrying a heavy carrying pole on his shoulder. Placed on one end was a large vat, with the faint fragrance of wine drifting out from inside. On the other end was a large bundle of unknown beast meat.

"Enter the city and walk straight. Don't wander randomly. Follow the Way-Guiding Lantern, and you'll quickly be able to find the Yuelai Inn. The Red Lantern is half the reward; the Proprietress of the inn will give you the other half of the reward."

That Farmer spoke in a low, hoarse voice, and also hung a small Red Lantern on the front of the carrying pole.

Li Wei nodded, not asking anything. Squatting down, he shouldered this load of goods. As a result, Good Heavens, the weight of this load of goods was at least ten tons.

Couldn't other methods be used to contain it?

He was slightly curious in his heart, but Li Wei also didn't ask. Passing through the residential area, he arrived at the city gate. There were only three to five people left here at this time. Seeing him walk over shouldering a carrying pole, they only shot a cold glance, not caring. Or rather, they had all previously accepted tasks similar to this.

At this time, Li Wei walked straight through the city gates and into the small city. Sure enough, as his foot fell, he saw the art style of this place had already ceased to be the situation seen previously. But it was no longer the Blood Plague Swamp either, but another kind of scene. The streets were deserted and cold. Courtyard after courtyard had their main doors tightly locked. High walls stood steeply. No sounds could be heard, but occasionally there would be some hair-raising chewing sounds, or mournful howls, or seductive rhythmic breathing sounds akin to snatching one's soul, transmitting out from those houses and courtyards.

It mainly featured a bizarre atmosphere.

Li Wei walked a few steps, and instantly felt this road was incomparably perilous. It was as if it was a living road, and also like the tongue of a bizarre existence. If he just kept walking down like this, he would inevitably walk into the other party's stomach.

But right at this time, that Red Lantern at the front of the carrying pole suddenly floated up and became larger, radiating light in all directions. Written on it were the four words: Way-Guiding Lantern.

He didn't dare neglect it, closely following this lantern. Sure enough, within the range illuminated by the lantern light, everything was safe and sound. But outside the illumination of the lantern light, that was truly demons and monsters, boundless bizarreness.

But in reality, Li Wei felt that even without this Red Lantern, his Ghost-Head Pass could similarly ensure safety.

So this task to him, was dispensable.

Walking rapidly along this road for an unknown amount of time, a building appeared ahead. Written on it was Yuelai Inn. Suspended high above it were 108 large Red Lanterns. It looked very spectacular, but also very bizarre. Li Wei merely took an extra glance at these large Red Lanterns, and felt his Collective Sanity vibrating, a feeling that it was going to drop.

Because at this moment, what he sensed were no longer large Red Lanterns, but blood-red eyes one by one, opening their mouths and crying loudly. The sound was noisy, unpleasant to hear, making people collapse. Even that Red Lantern that had guided his way previously snapped with a bang and burned up, destroyed.

Fortunately, Li Wei entered the Yuelai Inn in a few steps. All those crying sounds instantly disappeared without a trace.

The interior of the inn was instead extremely normal: the seductive aroma of food, the warm hearth fire. Even the Proprietress selling wine in the shop was exceedingly beautiful and glamorous; especially that pair of eyes—taking an extra glance gave a feeling of Collective Sanity draining away.

Right, at this moment Li Wei was very certain: if he didn't have the enhancement of the Chaos Expansion Card, at this moment his Collective Sanity would absolutely be snatched away by a portion.

This Neutral City was probably only relatively neutral; the weak did not deserve neutrality.
