North Mountain Area Yan Country Office
Inside a camp dormitory, a total of twenty people, including Feng Xue, were standing in front of a door. Twelve soldiers, in pairs, were making physical contact with Wu according to a pre-arranged plan.
Feng Xue, meanwhile, grabbed one of the Wu's wrists and began giving it instructions in the pre-arranged order.
Due to trust issues, Feng Xue was neither the first nor the last to enter. Only after three groups of soldiers entered the door did Feng Xue signal that the group she was holding could begin.
As the door opened, Feng Xue returned to the incredibly comfortable environment of Infinite City.
At this moment, he was standing outside the gate, with corpses lying all over the ground in front of him, while the few soldiers were still fighting against other surging enemies.
These small organizations, reduced to mere gatekeepers, possessed no powerful items, let alone advanced weapons like those that ignored defenses. Facing soldiers with considerable skill in using the Golden Bell Shield technique, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
However, as the battle continued and the number of enemies around them increased, all twelve soldiers eventually entered the Infinite City.
Seeing the swarm of Wu, the soldiers immediately engaged in battle, while Feng Xue directly released her Hermit Authority, and the [Supernatural Tale Nemesis] Power was actively released, with a strong pressure spreading outwards like Conqueror's Haki.
"Hmph!" A furious shout suddenly rang out, and the pale yellow bandage stabbed towards Feng Xue. However, how could Feng Xue, who could directly see the elements of Phantom Object, not notice the bright, Supernatural Tale Fire in the crowd? Before the bandage got close, the yellow clothes behind her moved without wind, rolled back the bandage and pulled hard.
The Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls technique was used to immediately pull out the Weird Tale that had been dragged into the fray. Feng Xue reached forward with one hand and precisely grabbed the other's neck. Looking at the Weird Tale wrapped in bandages, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a gentle yet frightening tone:
"Give me some face, okay?"
"Stop! Stop it, all of you!"
To survive in the four major Landfill Area, one must either be extremely strong or extremely cunning. This [Mummy] was no exception. After realizing that he was not on the same level as Feng Xue, he immediately and decisively admitted defeat and gave orders to his underlings who were engaged in battle.
"Very well, then Door Pusher this door open?" Feng Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, while the mummy frowned and asked:
"Brother, isn't this against the rules?"
"See these soldiers? Let me tell you, they're all from the Real Worlder. You should know what Infinite City values most right now, right? It's about making a fortune quietly, or standing firm to the end. Think it through carefully, or rather, are you willing to be a lackey of Hundred Tales?"
"Gulp..." The Mummy Weird Tale swallowed hard, glanced at the soldiers who could easily overpower his elite underlings, and then, considering the recent situation in Infinite City, finally nodded and said:
"Bingxing, go and bring the Door Pusher!"
"That's right." Feng Xue casually pulled out a piece of paper, turned around, and waved to the Yan soldiers.
"Wang Xin, right? You come and talk to him. After you've reached an agreement, I'll have it notarized, and my task will be complete."
"Thank you very much." As the leader of this mission, Wang Xin thanked Feng Xue before walking up to the mummy and starting to bargain with him.
What Yan Kingdom wants to do is very simple, no different from countries like Colombia, Victoria, and Ursus: to establish an office in Infinite City and maintain at least one relatively stable gate.
Although it's a bizarre Weird Tale that everyone in Yan Kingdom knows martial arts, the higher-ups would never bet everything on this one Weird Tale, nor would they become complacent because of a slight first-mover advantage.
As countries like Colombia and Victoria begin exploring the Supernatural Tale World, the appearance of Weird Tale or Magical Item, such as "martial arts nemesis," is a disaster for Yan Kingdom.
As for Feng Xue, he was naturally happy to see this happen. Firstly, no Weird Tale could be more widespread than the idea that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts," so it wouldn't threaten his position. Secondly, even if it did happen, for Feng Xue, Weird Tale Tag as "a person of Yan Kingdom," the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks.
If in the future the people of Yan can come up with things like "all people of Yan are cultivators" or "all people of Yan are Esper," Feng Xue will naturally be happy to join the ranks of those who follow supernatural Weird Tale, so that she can have superpowers and successfully cultivate without putting in any effort.
The mummy was clearly not some grand Weird Tale, nor was he a particularly brilliant or ambitious individual. He was quickly swayed by Wang Xin's persuasive tactics. After a series of empty promises and future prospects, they finalized a rather lenient contract. Feng Xue was not surprised by this, or rather, it was precisely to avoid this situation that he had asked Chen Xiyao to act as the intermediary.
Using the Oath Keeper's [contract] power to notarize the agreement between the two parties, Feng Xue waited another day until the messenger returned to the real world with the video data to report before he left the North Mountain District.
Back at the Tower of Babel, Feng Xue checked the "graveyard," carefully putting away the cards such as Kuli Bo, Physical Clone, and the Sealed Golden Cabinet, and then rearranged her equipment before heading up the stairs to challenge the guards.
For him now, the intensity of the guards was nothing. After easily dealing with the guards on floors 11-20, he finally stepped onto the residential area on the eleventh floor.
Structurally, there is no significant difference between this place and the first level of the Tower of Babel. The distribution of villas, road infrastructure, and even the goods sold in the shops are all similar. If there is any difference, it is that the villas are more bizarre in style.
Whether it was intentional to prevent challengers from guessing his system, or simply because this type of accommodation suited his personal aesthetic, Feng Xue didn't care too much. He casually chose a villa that looked like it was built entirely of bones, and walked up to it, gently knocking on the door—
However, the homeowner did not act as expected.
"Homeowner not detected. Initiating the Descent Rule. Failure to arrive within five minutes is considered a forfeit of the challenge, and the challenger automatically gains Residence Right..."
Unexpected yet logical information flowed into Feng Xue's mind as the challenge space unfolded, causing him to involuntarily pray that the other party would descend naked, just like the previous Big-Breasted Girl.
However, his expression changed slightly after he saw the situation in the challenge space.
To be precise, he couldn't see the challenge space clearly, because there was absolutely no light in the challenge space. Only the protective shield that protected both sides before the battle emitted a faint light, allowing him to barely see the outside world.
The water, or rather, the deep-sea environment where even sunlight cannot reach.
"That's a pretty ruthless tactic. If an average challenger couldn't handle the water pressure, they'd probably be done for."
Feng Xue inwardly grumbled, but without saying a word, she directly covered the squeeze bottle with the Orca Authority, waiting for the countdown to near its end...
Didn't you mention this when you challenged the vampire big-breasted girl before? The houses will be moved together, and you can even take them with you if you lose a fight. Old Li's shipping container might even be a villa he hid using his powers.
Only the Tower of Babel can connect to another world, so even if Old Li's villa has a preserved door, it cannot be used without the Residence Right.
P. S.: I actually posted the previous chapter this afternoon, but it got stuck in the review process. I revised it several times, but it was blocked. I had to contact the editor to get it back... I don't know what went wrong.
