Chapter 51 Strange Town
Chapter 51 Strange Town
One day and a few hours later, the duo had finally arrived at Wenji Town.
Everything looked pretty ordinary so far.
It was just that along the way, while observing the busy streets, they kept hearing strange conversations that made him confused.
Eh?
Were they so old that they couldn't understand what these youngsters of nowadays were fascinated about?
"Nianzu. What do you think?"
"Hmm. I think they might be talking about some important people in the town. Didn't you hear how they spoke about someone called Senior Johnny Cage? Or someone called Kratos? Even though it's a strange name, I think it might be some powerful person."
Tsongai nodded wisely: "Yes! I think you're right! It's just that I've never heard of a powerful person called Johnny Cage. Or do you think it's someone from Bailong or Yanging Province?"
Nianzu thinned his lips with a grim expression: "I hope not. You and I know we can't handle the people from those provinces. Our strength is nowhere near theirs."
"So then, what do we do?"
"Tsongai. For now, we need to investigate things calmly. After all, he might be overthinking things. All we need to do is find my disciples, and the rest is history. As for those strange names we heard, we can ask about them from my disciples after we find them."
"Hmhm. Sounds like a plan."
With that, they all headed towards the Inn that Bho Su said he was staying in.
Sure enough, they didn't find anyone there.
seeing this, they wasted no time and immediately started searching for the Gaming Hall, per Bho Su's note.
And after asking around, they finally found themselves standing before the Gaming Hall.
On the way, they once again heard disturbing facts that gave them bad impressions of the Hall.
.
Nianzu in particular, frowned upon such news.
'How could there be a place that made people have breakthroughs within days?... It must be fake'. He thought.
One should know that he, Grand Elder Nianzu, was already at the 7th Dan of the Spirit Realm and was 745 years old.
He knew he had more experience than many.
And even when he began his cultivation journey all those years back, he spent years breaking through from 1st Dan to 2nd Dan within the True Qi Realm.
So how could it be that easy?
Now, he heard people say that they shed through mortal bones and broke through to 1st Dan, which was okay.
But how is it possible that they were almost breaking through to 2nd Dan of the True Qi realm in such a short period?
Yes!
Breaking through to 1st and 2nd Dan were the easiest steps in cultivation, as people could do so in a year or 2.
So how was it possible that they could do this in a few days?
This was for sure a scam!
And when he finally revealed the real colors of these con-people to everyone else, he would make sure to beat the Hall owner black and blue.
Hmph!!
How dare he lie and lead the cultivators astray?
As a good person, how could he let such a criminal exist to continue destroying the lives of others?
(***Dear Elder Nianzu, isn't it just your pride that is hurt? Why are you making it sound like you're so righteous?)
---------
Standing outside the Store, they quietly looked at the signboard, feeling more enraged again.
Tsongai's lips twitched: "Old Nianzu. I'm glad that you brought me here. Or I would've never known that such a shameless place existed. Their prices are even higher than the Gravity room in the sect. Are they trying to say that what they offer is better than our sect? Are they looking down on us? Preposterous!"
Nianzu squinted his eyes coldly while observing those going in and coming out: "Something isn't right. These people are acting too happy for getting scammed."
"Heh. What do they know? They have never been anywhere big. So they most likely believe the bastard who put these rules up."
"Hmmm. You're right! No matter how I look at it, it's impossible for this tiny building to have anything that could beat the Profound Sect. So it's most likely a scam."
With that, the duo slowly entered the Gaming Hall, hoping to catch these con-people's tricks.
But what they saw left them with grim expressions.
They scrutinized their surroundings in shock
They hated to admit it, but the Space array formations used here were far superior and felt stronger, giving a deep wave of reference to those who gazed upon it.
F***!
Wasn't this reversal too fast?
"You there. How do we play these games?"
Chu Che looked at them casually: "You can play using your membership card."
Membership card?
What was that?
Sigh... Chu Che quickly showed them a place for collecting maps.
And so, they went to the Registration Hall, did everything that needed to be done, and returned.
This time, their attitudes were seemingly calmer and less cold than before.
Chu Che looked at them in confusion.
What changed?
.
Nonetheless, no matter how calm their expressions were, they still felt like this whole thing was a scam.
Sure. They were impressed with the map and space magic. But there was no such device that could push one into breaking through faster... unless one was under a lot of pressure when fighting an enemy or went into a Gravity room to adjust pressure settings.
Nianzu looked at Chu Che curiously: "Do you have Gravity rooms here?"
"No."
"Then, is there a hidden arena somewhere we don't know about?"
"Nope. Why would there be one?"
Nianzu looked at Chu Che and somehow found him not pleasing to the eyes: 'What a cheeky little brat,' he thought.
"Then, can you guarantee I'll enjoy whatever game you have here?"
"Yup!"
"Heh. Fine kid. We'll see what you can offer. But if you can't impress us, then this hall of yours will be at risk."
Chu Che paused before smiling mysteriously.
"Even if all the cultivators and the elders in the Cagnan Continent come together, no one can touch this building. Gentlemen…This is my final warning to you. Let this be the last time you threaten me as the Park owner. That said, do enjoy your game."
