Chapter 695: Chapter 698 Encounter (1)_1
Everyone first went to find a hotel to settle in, but all the hotels were already overcrowded.
"Are we going to have to camp out again?" Bai Tong scratched her head: "Spare , please. I have not had a bath for two days."
"Sister Bai Tong, there’s a more serious problem." At this mont, Nana suddenly said.
Having spent the past two days with Bai Tong, Nana was no longer as intimidated by her.
However, the girl was still very attached to Yang Gang.
"What’s up?" Bai Tong asked. Her knowledge of the Land of Fallen was naturally less clear than the locals.
Nana thought for a mont, then said: "Have you noticed that the only open area of Illa Town is the presale sites of various hotels, and there aren’t any hotel buildings?"
"Uh, now that you ntion it, that’s true." Bai Tong paused, then asked: "So what?"
"The hotels in Illa Town are within the military base, protected by the military. But this open area has no defenses. If a monster horde attacks, the open area will likely be flattened in an instant." Nana paused, then continued: "What I an is, if we can’t stay in a hotel, camping out in the open area is actually very dangerous."
"Uh, what are the chances? We just arrived and the monster horde attacks."
Nana shook her head, adding: "My father says that each ti a new monster appears, the monsters lingering in the Land of Fallen tend to attack Illa Town for unknown reasons."
"Really?" Bai Tong took a glance around. "The open area seems quite bustling."
"After ten o’clock at night, the military base closes its doors, then this open area, other than the ’wanderers’ who have nowhere else to go, will be practically deserted." At this point, Lucy, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"So, what do we do?"
"Uh, actually, I have an exclusive room in a hotel in Illa Town. If you all don’t mind, we can stay there for the night." Lucy added.
"Can we take a bath there?" Bai Tong asked.
Lucy smiled and nodded: "Yes, but please conserve water. After all, this is a desert, and water is very precious."
"Oh yeah! So, it’s settled then." Bai Tong exclaid excitedly.
"Uh, boss, I won’t go. I’ll stay here to keep watch." Ye Qing spoke up.
Yang Gang nodded: "Thank you for the hard work. Take care of yourself, don’t overdo it."
Ye Qing grinned: "I could say the sa to you, boss."
Yang Gang’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Then, everyone went to Lucy’s place.
It was the top floor of a hotel.
There were three rooms in total. Rooms two and three seed to be occupied.
Lucy’s exclusive room was number one.
The entire layout was similar to the Elizabeth Grand Hotel in Sydney.
Of course, in terms of building quality and luxury, this place could not compete with the Elizabeth Grand Hotel.
This was not a presidential suite with multiple rooms, it was just a small one-bedroom apartnt.
What made Yang Gang both awkward and excited was that the soundproofing of the apartnt was really bad!
Bai Tong was taking a bath in the bathroom and he could hear every sound with crystal-clear clarity.
Yang Gang was even able to tell what Bai Tong’s bathing condition was based on the sounds, he could even guess which part of her body she was washing!
Which hot-blooded man could bear that?
In the end, before Yang Gang could transform into a ’beast’, he decided to take a trip outdoors.
"Oh, I’ll head out to the streets first and buy so drinking water." Yang Gang said.
At this mont, Bai Tong suddenly opened the door of the bathroom and said calmly: "Just buy so dinner on your way back."
Yang Gang’s gaze swept across her, and what a sight of spring it was!
A gulp!
He involuntarily swallowed hard.
"Got it."
He scurried out, embarrassed.
"Hm... Yang Gang is still quite shy." Bai Tong chuckled.
Lucy gave Bai Tong a glance, but didn’t say anything.
Just leaving the hotel, there was a road leading to the open area.
Although this place was in the heart of the military base, it was still separate from the military buildings.
The hotel street had only one road leading outside.
On returning to the open area, Yang Gang had already cooled down.
Yang Gang spotted a departnt store and planned to buy so essential supplies. But upon enquiring about the prices, he almost cursed.
A 500ml bottle of regular mineral water was sold for 200 US dollars, it was downright fucking robbery!
Yang Gang didn’t have much cash on him, and he did not want to use Bai Tong and the others’ money.
In the end, Yang Gang spent 10,000 US dollars and bought 50 bottles of mineral water.
This was almost all his cash.
And he hadn’t even bought any food yet.
Yang Gang pondered for a long ti and finally decided to pawn one third-grade Monster Crystal Core at the pawnshop in town, in exchange for 20,000 US dollars in cash.
Yang Gang had once cursed the pawnshop industry in Hangcheng as heartless. A Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain piece with a market price above 200,000 yuan, but the pawnshop was only willing to lend 50,000 yuan.
But now, Yang Gang sincerely apologized to the pawnshops in Hangcheng.
Because, compared to the pawnshops in Illa Town, the pawnshops in Hangcheng were downright conscientious in the industry!
A third-grade Monster Crystal Core, which would be worth at least one million US dollars in the outside market, was only valued at 20,000 US dollars by the pawnshops in Illa Town!
Even though he was upset about being ripped off, Yang Gang managed to suppress his emotions.
It was very clear that this pawnshop had connections with the military stationed in Illa Town.
Even though he knew this was a scam, he had nothing he could do about it. He didn’t even have his ’Love and World Peace’ that could stand up to the military.
After getting the money, Yang Gang entered a small shop selling stuffed pancakes.
The owner was from Huaxia. Ever since the fifth Monster Descending five years ago, he had been here.
"Owner, how much for these stuffed pancakes?" Yang Gang asked, only then noticing the price list.
My goodness!
A stuffed pancake was 20 US dollars!
Seemingly noticing Yang Gang’s embarrassnt, the owner faintly smiled: "I’ll do 10 dollars each for you, but you can only buy ten. I can’t go any lower because the cost is a little high in the Land of Fallen."
Yang Gang was so moved that he was nearly moved to tears. How good it was to have a fellow countryman!
Without any hesitation, he bought ten stuffed pancakes.
When he returned to Lucy’s apartnt, Bai Tong had finished taking her bath.
She was wrapped in her bathrobe, her body’s fragrance was intoxicating, causing Yang Gang to be distracted.
Regaining his senses, Yang Gang handed out the stuffed pancakes to everyone, saying: "The cost of living here is too high. I’ve bought so stuffed pancakes for tonight’s dinner."
No one was picky and they just started eating the pancakes when they received them.
After finishing their ’dinner’, Lucy got up and said: "There’s still so ti before ten o’clock at night. I think I’ll take a walk in the open area."
As soon as she finished speaking, the small hamster suddenly jumped onto Lucy’s shoulder and squeaked twice.
"It seems like it wants to go with you." Although Yang Gang was still unable to communicate mind to mind with the little hamster, he understood more and more of the hamster’s body language.
"Well, let’s go together then." Lucy smiled. She turned to Bai Tong and said: "Sister Bai Tong, rember that Yang Gang has a girlfriend, don’t take advantage of
being out and ’eat’ him yourself."
Bai Tong chuckled, crossed her legs, and her charm increased by 10 points.
However, she did not say anything.
Lucy then left with the little hamster.

In the open area, at a certain street-side location, there was a high-end music restaurant. Sitting at a table for four by the window were Yang Fei, Gu Ge, Sima Bing, and Xue Chen.
