Jiang Zhan City! Depart!

The passage to the Underground World really was a passage.

Lu Yuan hadn't expected to actually set foot on solid ground inside it—

in the physical sense.

Within the Underground World passage, it was pitch black; without any light, the path was completely invisible.

Relying on the glow of a flashlight, Lu Yuan followed the others from the Fire Fox Team and advanced step by step.

Soon, he saw a light up ahead.

As expected, the light marked the exit of the Underground World passage!

When Lu Yuan arrived and stepped out of the Underground World passage, he couldn't help looking left and right.

The scene he had imagined—swarming monsters, corpses strewn across the wilderness—did not appear.

He focused his eyes and saw that all around him were crowds of people, gathered here.

These people exuded faint traces of Yuan energy; they were all ability users.

"Newest potions! Anyone want to buy the newest potions?"

"Pills! Pills! Anyone want to buy pills?"

"..."

Nearby, someone was shouting loudly.

As the Fire Fox Team emerged from the Underground World passage, some people noticed their presence.

"Disinfectant potions, wholesale price! Ten bottles for only five thousand yuan! Don't miss out, opportunity won't knock twice!"

"Detailed map, only a hundred thousand! Marks all the activity ranges of the ferocious beasts, very accurate. What do you say? Want to buy?"

Those people crowded over one after another, asking the group.

As the captain of the Fire Fox Team, Zhou Wan gave a faint smile, then turned them all down one by one.

At that moment, Huang Hao added a remark: "In Jiang Zhan City, there are plenty of these potion, pill, and map... peddlers. Some of them do have unique channels to get cheaper potions, but these people are a mixed bag. For example, half the pills they sell might be fake. If you're not a veteran, it's hard to tell the difference, and it could end up causing trouble. Newcomers should stay as far away from them as possible."

Lu Yuan nodded, committing Huang Hao's words to memory.

With no more interruptions, Lu Yuan's gaze gradually shifted into the distance.

He discovered

that this was actually a small city, but its style was different from modern construction—it looked more like an ancient city.

At the very edge of the city, high walls were piled up, neat and uniform, airtight, giving a sense of solidity and safety!

On top of the walls, ability users in battle suits, sent by the nation, were stationed here.

When telescopes spotted large groups of ferocious beasts gathering to invade, trying to enter the city, it was time for these ability users to act!

They protected the city, preventing ferocious beasts from passing through the Underground World passage into the real world.

If a high-level ferocious beast was spotted through the telescope, they had to urgently call for reinforcements!

With them guarding every otherworldly passage here, the outside world could enjoy relative stability.

While Lu Yuan was curiously looking around in all directions, Huang Hao sidled up to him and said with a grin, "Lu Yuan, do you know what that building is?"

At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Following Huang Hao's direction, Lu Yuan saw—

a building with a classical atmosphere.

On its door hung a wooden sign, on which were written three large characters: "Moon Gazing Tower."

And at the entrance of the Moon Gazing Tower, two women with heavy makeup, dressed boldly and scantily, stood there, posturing and preening. You didn't need a brain to figure out what they were up to.

Seeing this, Xu Lu couldn't help stamping her foot and frowning as she said, "Huang Hao, it's fine if you're no good yourself, but don't lead the newbie Lu Yuan astray!"

Huang Hao waved his hand and replied carelessly, "Oh, I'm just introducing it. Lu Yuan is so steady, how could I possibly lead him astray!?"

After Lu Yuan answered, "I don't know,"

Huang Hao leaned his mouth close to Lu Yuan's ear and said in a voice low but clear: "That's a place for men to relax. You just have to get it—no need for words! Let me tell you, don't let Brother Hu's fierce appearance fool you, with that double-bladed axe on his back. He's actually a regular over there!"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened instantly, and his expression turned strange as he said, "Really?"

He really couldn't tell.

Huang Hao replied, "Why would I lie to you? When you hunt down ferocious beasts out in the wild, you unconsciously get tainted by their Bloodthirsty Qi, which also puts a lot of pressure on your mind! And letting loose once in a while is a great way to relieve that mental strain!"

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

Even though he agreed with Huang Hao's point, he himself definitely wasn't going.

Lu Yuan suddenly asked, "Doesn't Brother Hu have a wife?"

Wang Hu's appearance put him at least around thirty-five.

And as a social ability user, his salary far exceeded that of an average person, so supporting a family would be fairly simple.

Huang Hao let out a sigh and said, "In our line of work, you never know when you'll end up dead in another world. Could you bear to abandon your wife and children and leave first?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression turned thoughtful.

Huang Hao then chuckled, patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, and said, "Let's not talk about such heavy stuff. Look on the bright side—now that you've just arrived in another world, focus on raising your strength and find yourself a pretty girlfriend at the university. That's better than anything!"
