Chapter 228: Tu You Enters the City
“Mm, after obtaining the gold, Dr. Li reported the news, hoping to gain the attention of the Imperial Family and conduct a large-scale search for the gold to put it into use. But what they didn’t expect was that instead of researchers, the Imperial Legion arrived.”
Upon hearing this, Sai Yue instantly understood, and she sneered, “This is what they call the Imperial Family and power!”
Zuo Xue Feng looked up at her and sighed, “After the Imperial Family snatched the gold, they declared A City had rebelled and massacred the entire city. My mercenary group and I were on a mission at the time and weren’t in the city, so we thought we’d escape. Who would have thought that news of me possessing the Golden Sword would leak, and I’ve been hunted ever since. My brothers are all gone, leaving only me.”
As Zuo Xue Feng spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red. Sang Chu hadn’t expected that a mere bit of gold would cause such a huge incident.
“Big Brother Zuo, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this thing to cause such trouble.”
Zuo Xue Feng shook his head, “It’s not your fault. Without you, we would have already died at the hands of the monsters. In the end, it’s the people in power in the Imperial Family who are utterly corrupt.”
“Then do you want revenge?”
Zuo Xue Feng said with a wry smile, “The place we are currently in is the lowest level of the planet. To enter the Imperial Capital Star, we need to perform a space jump and then board a warship that travels between the Star Rivers. Forget about revenge; we don’t even have the qualification to enter a city right now.”
Tu You also said to Sang Chu: 【A Chu, not only can Zuo Xue Feng not go to the Imperial Capital Star, but you can’t either. The Imperial Capital Star is not connected to a station, and ticket holders cannot arbitrarily enter worlds without a station; it’s against the law. At best, it’s just the revocation of the ticket holder’s travel rights, and at worst, they will be executed. 】
【That serious? 】
Tu You: 【Of course. There have been examples of this before. A master from a Cultivation World, thinking he was a savior, used his resources to confront the Imperial Power of a world. The location of the Imperial Power had no station. He didn’t listen to advice and directly broke into the Imperial Capital, single-handedly overthrowing the entire Imperial Dynasty. Then, he was struck by lightning and died. The fall of the Imperial Dynasty led to the collapse of the entire world’s order.
Haven’t you noticed? All locations of Imperial Power are not allowed to have stations. Even if the boarding point in the Magic World is in Rose City, it’s only in a small town or manor a distance away from the Imperial Power, and there are station keepers stationed there. This is to prevent similar incidents of ticket holders subverting the regime from happening again. 】
Sang Chu thought for a while. It seemed to be the case. Ever since entering the vicinity of Rose City, only Sai Yue and the others could move freely.
As soon as she entered Rose City, she was drawn to Rose Manor. She hadn’t even explored Rose City, let alone the Imperial Capital of Rose City. There was still a long distance from Rose City to the Imperial Capital.
Seeing Sang Chu remain silent, Tu You comforted her: 【Don’t you still have cards? You can contract Zuo Xue Feng as a Card Slave and bring him back to the Apocalypse. That way, he can also survive, and you won’t feel so guilty. At least you can save one person. 】
【He can also become a Card Slave? 】
Tu You: 【Yes, as long as he is willing, there’s no problem. 】
【Then I’ll think about it. He said outsiders can’t enter the city. Can you help me go in and find some House Building Machines? We’ll wait for you outside. 】
Upon hearing this, Tu You became energetic, her large ears perked up high: 【Hehe, then you wait for me here, I’ll be right back! 】
【Mm, try to get as many as possible. 】
Tu You’s two ears flapped, and she excitedly rushed out. Zuo Xue Feng looked at Sang Chu, who was silent, and thought she was blaming herself, so he comforted her, “Actually, this matter is not your fault at all. You, don’t blame yourself.”
“Big Brother Zuo, do you want to leave this world?”
“Wh-what do you mean?”
Sang Chu sat down beside him and handed him a cup of water, “Drink some water first, and I’ll explain it to you slowly.”
Xi Rui glanced at Sang Chu and said, “A Chu, you guys chat here, I’ll continue hunting. Since we can’t enter the city, I’ll hunt more things to bring back to eat.”
Sang Chu: “Living ones too.”
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
“Mm, be careful.”
Xi Rui left with her longbow. Zuo Xue Feng looked at her, a girl, and couldn’t help but say, “A Chu, she’s alone…”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother Zuo, Xi Rui’s combat power is very strong, she’ll be fine. As for you, do you want to leave this world?”
“I, I don’t understand what you mean?”
Sang Chu took out a card and winked at Sai Yue. Sai Yue, understanding instantly, entered the card. Zuo Xue Feng was dumbfounded, “This, this…”
Sang Chu: “This is a card. As long as you want to leave this world, I can put you into the world of the card and take you away. It’s just that my world is a bit different from where you grew up.”
“Leave?”
Sang Chu: “Mm, I’m not from this world. The first time you met me, it was also my first time in this world, so I don’t understand many things here. To avoid others discovering my strangeness, I lied about having amnesia. I’m sorry for deceiving you.”
He recognized every one of these words, but when combined, they made little sense to him.
“The other world you mentioned, is it another space? Is it the space outside all the planets where Zuo Xue Feng and the others are located? （）”
Sang Chu paused for a moment and smiled, “You can understand it that way too.”
Having received the answer, Zuo Xue Feng fell silent. In fact, leaving with Sang Chu was the best option. His city was gone, and there was no place for him to survive on Guang Star. If he stayed in the wilderness, he would die.
But, did he really have to leave his homeland?
Sensing his hesitation, Sang Chu didn’t pressure him for an immediate decision. “Big Brother Zuo, since we can’t enter the city, we’ll stay in the wilderness for a while. You can rest well and take your time to consider. There are about half a month left before I return to my world. If you’ve made up your mind by then, tell me.”
Zuo Xue Feng nodded, “Okay, thank you for saving me.”
“You’re welcome. Then you should rest well here.”
Sang Chu and Sai Yue left his room. Sai Yue looked at the closed door and said, “Master, he’s just an ordinary person. Do you want to take him back to the Apocalypse?”
“If he wants to, I will take him away. Without him, I would have died when I first arrived in this world.”
Sai Yue: “Then we can only hope he can figure it out. The growth rate of plants and animals in this world is too fast. If this continues, this world will sooner or later become a world of flora and fauna.”
Sang Chu had also noticed this time that the plants and animals were significantly larger than when she had last visited. Tall trees now reached straight into the clouds.
The fact that the Monster Transformation World has a station means that, like the Apocalypse, it is a problematic world.
Perhaps the destruction of A City was a premonition.
The Monster Transformation World would fall and become a world solely of monsters. If the gold she left behind had been put into use directly instead of being taken away by the people of the Imperial Capital Star, the monsters in this world wouldn’t be so rampant.
Indeed, it is people who cause the world to perish.
