"Grilled sausage?" Donak looked at Zhang nglong, bewildered, "What’s that?"
"You’ll find out then!" Zhang nglong said, "It’s a delicacy beyond your imagination!"
"Delicacy? Food?" Donak’s expression suddenly turned sowhat disappointed. Food wasn’t considered valuable throughout the Endless Land because it’s not a necessity; how could it help them earn money?
...
Luosai Fortress City is very far from their survival team. The direction they headed was not towards Luosai Fortress City but to a teleportation point.
For the convenience of travel between all cities and survival teams in the Endless Land, all Fortress Cities have expended trendous manpower and resources to establish Teleportation Arrays at various locations, evenly distributed throughout the Endless Land.
For this grand project, the Array Masters of the Endless Land spent millions of years completing it, and it could almost be called a miracle project.
Due to the abundance of energy in the Endless Land, these formations do not require energy supplents, relying entirely on the free-floating energy in the air for self-maintenance; repairs are only necessary when severely damaged.
After flying about two hours, they reached the nearest Teleportation Array to Luosai Fortress City. From a distance, it looked like a golden pillar standing between heaven and earth, with torrents of energy from the ground pointing towards the sky.
Apart from the two of them, there seed to be others coming from different directions; everyone greeted each other and then walked into the power of the Teleportation Array.
With a powerful tearing force, the two were quickly pushed out from another location by another force. Zhang nglong was a bit stunned when he looked up.
Until now, he had been to nurous battlefields, seen many cities and fortresses, but had never seen a gigantic entity like this city before.
The walls of Luosai Fortress City alone exceeded ten thousand ters in height; Zhang nglong stood only a few hundred ters away from it, the visual impact of such a giant made him montarily forget to walk.
"Spectacular, isn’t it?" Donak patted Zhang nglong’s shoulder, "I felt the sa way the first ti I ca here; do you know why its walls are built so high?"
Zhang nglong shook his head.
"Because near the area where Luosai Fortress City is built, there’s a nest of giant Phantom Profound Beasts," Donak said, "Energy creatures thousands to tens of thousands of ters high periodically assault Luosai Fortress City. If the walls aren’t high enough, the city couldn’t withstand the external assaults."
"Ten thousand-ter Phantom Profound Beast?" Zhang nglong had only seen giant Phantom Profound Beasts in his most primal universe and had never seen such large creatures in the three worlds of this Main World.
"These city walls aren’t just high," Donak added, "They’re also two to three thousand ters thick. To gather enough materials, the city’s creators spared no effort. To be honest, whatever luxury they enjoy now, they earned through their past hard work."
"Let’s go!" Donak nudged Zhang nglong, "There’s more intriguing stuff inside, though we can stay at most for three days. The entry fee is based on the entrant’s Life Levels. My realm reached Dao Realm, so I can freely enter and exit for free, but you, being only Divine Cultivator Ninth Grade, need to pay one Level Five Crystal Core per day."
"However, each Dao Realm Martial Artist can bring 10 people for free, so this ti, you won’t need to."
Dao Realm experts are respected everywhere; there’s even a dedicated passage. Zhang nglong followed Donak through the VIP passage into the city.
"Oh my!"
The city’s interior gave Zhang nglong the first impression of being impregnable. From roads to buildings, everything shimred with a tallic sheen, clearly made of extrely strong tal materials.
"It’s a type of high-strength mory tal," Donak said, "Even after deformation, it can return to its original shape under certain conditions. This city’s area is too vast; spatial displacents occur 3-5 tis a year, each causing so degree of damage to the city. Without this material to construct the city, it would be quite problematic."
"True," Zhang nglong followed Donak, "What are we buying this ti?"
"I need to purchase 150,000 Soul Shard Suppressors. The rest includes so energy supplents, healing dicine, and so miscellaneous items," Donak said, "There are various ways to purchase other things, but Soul Shard Suppressors are exclusively controlled by all Fortress City Lords."
Walking along, Zhang nglong saw a bustling urban scene, though it was accompanied by so ssiness.
"The city’s population is quite large?"
"Very large," Donak replied, "After all, no one wants to live unsteadily. Luosai Fortress City’s area is about ten tis that of a typical Ninth Grade Empire, but the population is about 50 tis that of a Ninth Grade Empire, making real estate prices here exceptionally high."
"How expensive?"
"For a 100-year lease, even in the ordinary outer areas, the price per square ter reaches 500 Ninth Grade Crystal Cores. Even with space-folding technology, a house’s land area needs to be 5-10 square ters, and thousands of Ninth Grade Crystal Cores—a Divine Cultivator Peak Martial Artist would find it quite difficult to gather."
"Indeed," Zhang nglong smiled bitterly, "It might take years or even more than a decade to buy a small house here."
"But Dao Realm Martial Artists like us have preferential policies; as long as we live in the Fortress City, there’s free housing. However, we’re required to act during spatial displacent events and Phantom Profound Beast sieges."
"Let’s go, ahead is where Soul Shard Suppressors are sold," Donak pointed at the massive building in front of him, "There are hundreds of such sales points in the city, but they’re all under the unified managent of the City Lord."
"Security’s very tight," Gou Dan told Zhang nglong, there were actually hundreds of Dao Realm experts within the building, highlighting the importance of these Soul Shard Suppressors.
"Mr. Donak," a person welcod them as they entered the building, "How many Soul Shard Suppressors are you looking to buy this ti?"
"I need 150,000 doses." Donak greeted him like an old friend.
"This is the account manager here," Donak explained, "I usually deal with him; after working together for a while, I get so internal discounts, saving around ten Ninth Grade Crystal Cores."
"Why bring a young friend today?" The account manager smiled, "Is it to broaden your horizons in the city?"
"Yes," Donak nodded, "We’ll explore outside for a bit first."
"Standard procedure, give three hours."
"Alright!"
Handing over the Crystal Cores, Donak took Zhang nglong out of the trading post.
"Brother, is there a place where we can freely set up stalls?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Yes," Donak pointed ahead, "There’s a free market there. With a managent fee, you can sell anything you want, except contraband. Planning to buy sothing?"
"No," Zhang nglong patted his pocket, "Didn’t I say, let’s first go earn so money; we’ll sell grilled sausages now!"
