"This... was quite a peaceful town."
As Elizabeth looped her arm through Zhang Chen's and entered Central City of the Sin Source Realm, what filled their ears was unexpectedly the cries of vendors and noisy chatter one would only hear in a marketplace of the human world.
"Something is strange. We still can't determine whether any special individuals have set their sights on us. Let's walk around the city for a while first," Elizabeth reminded him from beside him.
"Mm."
Zhang Chen's pale appearance, combined with Elizabeth at his side, who exuded an air of melancholy, made the pair particularly conspicuous on the streets. However unusual they might have been, no one stared at them for more than three seconds.
The reason was simple. Those capable of living in the Sin Source Realm were all bizarre characters. Moreover, anyone who could enter the city area had surely been acknowledged by Ling. In the eyes of these residents, they posed no threat at all.
"Under Ling's conditions, with the Abyss of Ten Thousand Sins surrounding the city, this peaceful and tranquil scene within the city feels rather out of place."
Elizabeth clung to Zhang Chen's side as people flowed past them. Food and fruit shops, clothing and fabric stores—there was everything one could possibly need. The only difference was that transactions here were conducted through contribution points recorded within the residents' arms.
Merchants exchanged goods for contribution points, while ordinary people could only earn them by working for the Sin Source Realm. Settlements were conducted once every five years. The five hundred residents with the lowest contribution points would be expelled from the Sin Source Realm, while five hundred newcomers would be brought in and given the average contribution value as their starting amount.
"Uncle, Uncle! There's a letter for you!"
