Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 123 - 119 Fallen Dragon Star City
Chapter 123: Chapter 119 Fallen Dragon Star City
About three hours later, Wang Xu had already entered the atmosphere of Fallen Dragon Star, undergoing scanning checks by the planet.
Soon, the Bailan docked at the landing field, and two Void Level guards in black combat uniforms, holding thermal weapons, approached.
"Please show your Identity Card," one of the guards said.
Identity Card?
Wang Xu was stunned; he didn’t have any Identity Card.
The guard saw Wang Xu standing there in a daze and frowned, saying again, "Please show your Identity Card."
"Master, the Identity Card is in the Central Control Room!" Celestial Spirit’s voice reached Wang Xu’s ears, and Wang Xu immediately said to the guard, "The Identity Card is in the warship, I need to go back and get it."
Wang Xu then returned to the Central Control Room, where a palm-sized transparent Crystal Card flew towards him.
"Master, this is a blank Identity Card left by the previous owner, you only need to drop a drop of blood on it," Celestial Spirit said.
Wang Xu realized, letting a drop of blood fall on the transparent Crystal Card. Soon, the card glowed, and his image and portrait appeared on it, granting him a genuine Identity Card.
"Here is my Identity Card." After handing over the Crystal Card, the two soldiers scanned it with a special device, found no anomalies, and let him pass.
...
Fallen Dragon Star City is the central capital city of Fallen Dragon Star, surpassing human civilization’s industrial design with advanced architectural innovation. Wang Xu walked along the bustling streets, brushing shoulders with many cosmic warriors, casting curious glances around, observing the city.
In the capital city, no one is allowed to fly.
In the sky, spherical objects made of special stone hover, constantly absorbing cosmic energy.
A massive U-shaped building stands on the artificial lake, like a sharp horn bursting from the ground, giving an intense visual impact.
The skyscrapers of the Fallen Dragon Capital City differ from those of humans, resembling computer cases, with a heavy mechanical feel; every element is precisely calculated and processed, appearing as mechanical objects.
The roads look like electronic circuits, orderly and neat, with hovering cars gliding above. From afar, they resemble subway tracks on the ground, ensuring maximum safety.
"It’s amazing." Even though Wang Xu had been through many storms, he couldn’t help but marvel at the advanced technological capital of Fallen Dragon Star.
On both sides of the street are various splendid shops and stores.
In front of a shop selling Mechanical Cards, two mechanical cards transform through a converter, forming two fierce steel beasts locked in combat. Many children of different appearances, skin colors, and transformed bodies gather at the shop entrance, cheering for their virtual pets.
In the shop selling Warrior Armor, cosmic martial artists come and go, with various weapons displayed. The artists can take them down and enter the Cultivation Room to try them out. If satisfied, they can pay with their Cosmic Bank Crystal Card and take the weapon with them immediately.
Clothing, jewelry, restaurants, and shops are all complete, even Void Level cosmic martial artists browse and purchase items they fancy.
For these cosmic martial artists, clothing and food are long unnecessary; they only spend on these for pleasure.
"Golden Treasure Restaurant." Wang Xu arrived at a lavish restaurant, strolling right in.
He casually found a seat and sat down. Looking down, he saw that the dining table was an electronic screen with all functions available.
With limited cash and only a few hundred units of Cosmic Crystal left, Wang Xu picked a few cheap dishes and pressed confirm.
After just about ten minutes.
"Sir, here are the dishes you ordered, please enjoy." A beautiful waitress pushed a dining cart over and placed a selection of appetizing dishes on the table.
"Wait." After serving the dishes, the waitress bowed and turned to leave, but Wang Xu stopped her.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" the waitress asked.
"I wanted to ask, is there any place here to earn Cosmic Crystals?" Wang Xu inquired.
The waitress smiled sweetly, "Sir, that question is too broad for me to answer, but being a Void Level martial artist, joining the ’Mercenary Martial Arts Hall’ would be a good choice."
Wang Xu’s eyes lit up. Right, the Cosmic Bank was one of the three major forces, releasing various tasks. Completing the tasks would earn him Cosmic Crystals immediately.
"Thank you." Wang Xu thanked the waitress with a smile.
The waitress was briefly stunned, then bowed and left. From her surprised expression, it was evident how surprising it was for a Void Level individual to thank her, a mere Star Level waitress.
In the cruel cosmos, laws have vanished; the strong make all the rules, while the weak only need to obey. The realm level has become an insurmountable chasm for everyone. Crossing over would mean reaching another world, where one can completely overlook the weaker of lower class.
Wang Xu delightedly enjoyed his afternoon sunlight lunch. It’s undeniable that these dishes, though cheap, were of superior quality, leaving Wang Xu wanting more even after finishing them.
"Ah! Stop it!" Just as Wang Xu prepared to call for the bill, his ears twitched, catching faint screams from a room on the second floor.
"Is it... the waitress from earlier?" Wang Xu instantly recognized the voice.
At the same time, in the VIP box on the second floor, a rotund, greasy-faced fat young man was forcefully pulling at the waitress. His pig-like greasy lips rubbed chaotically over her body, his hands restlessly wandering everywhere.
Around him, four expressionless Void Level sunglasses-wearing bodyguards paid no mind, apparently indifferent to such scenes.
"Hehe, keep resisting; I love this feeling, hehe!" With a lewd grin, the fat young man grew even more excited, reaching out to tear at the waitress’s clothes.
Thump thump!
An urgent knocking came at the door. Right in his excitement, the fat young man impatiently shouted, "Who is it!"
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit entered. He gave a slight bow, smiled, and said, "Young Master Fu, you’re quite in the mood today. If you don’t mind, I can arrange a separate room for you at the ’Golden Light Building’ for your enjoyment, how about it?"
"Bad luck!" The fat young man knew his background was strong, but the Golden Treasure Restaurant was not to be easily trifled with. Seeing this middle-aged man intervene, he could only curse under his breath, "Let’s go!"
The waitress broke free from the fat young man, her eyes red and teary. Several female waitresses came to console her softly.
"Manager, thank you." The waitress bowed to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man waved with a smile, "Alright, get back to work."
The fat young man, having his mood ruined, walked out of the Golden Treasure Restaurant with displeasure etched on his face. Suddenly, his body stiffened, his eyes widened, and he began trembling uncontrollably before collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
The four Void Level bodyguards were shocked, immediately surrounding the fat young man and guarding the surroundings.
Nearby, a man in a black robe walked past leisurely, a smile inadvertently appearing on his lips. It was Wang Xu.
After Wang Xu advanced to the Void Level, his spiritual consciousness became more powerful. With a mere thought, he nearly destroyed the fat young man’s consciousness. He might be lucky enough to lie in bed for a year or so; otherwise, he could remain in a coma, ending up as a vegetable.
Wang Xu dealt harshly with the likes of the fat young man. Were it not for the prohibition against killing in the Fallen Dragon Capital City, fearing it would attract unwanted attention, Wang Xu might have delivered a fatal blow outright.
...
Following the map of Fallen Dragon Capital City, Wang Xu quickly found the branch of the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall on Fallen Dragon Star.
"No wonder it’s one of the three major forces in the cosmos, even a branch exudes such dominion." Wang Xu exclaimed, looking at the imposing building that rose from the ground like a U-shaped ox horn.
Among the three major forces of the cosmos, the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall had the largest numbers. Any Star Level Martial Artist could join the hall.
But wanting to make a name for oneself in the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall required genuine strength.
Wang Xu stepped into the martial arts hall’s lobby, where electronic screens floated around, displaying various task lists. With interest, one could apply to take on tasks immediately.
"Task Level: One-star, collect three Blood-colored Teeth of Blood-toothed White Wolf, reward: 50 Contribution Points, 100 Cosmic Crystals."
The Blood-toothed White Wolf is a type of Star Giant Beast, with strength at the extreme Star Level. Its blood-colored teeth are the most valuable parts of its body. Each tooth is worth 50 Cosmic Crystals, but the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall only offers 100 Cosmic Crystals, with an additional 50 Cosmic Crystals converted to the hall’s Contribution Points. freeweɓnovel-cøm
"Task Level: Three-star, capture a Steel Hunting Celestial Python, reward: 1000 Contribution Points, 5000 Cosmic Crystals."
The Steel Celestial Python is an Upper Void Level Star Giant Beast. One live Steel Celestial Python can be tamed as a battle pet or implanted with control devices to turn it completely into a slave. In the slave market, a Steel Celestial Python is worth over ten thousand Cosmic Crystals, but in the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall, it only fetches 1000 Contribution Points and 5000 Cosmic Crystals, highlighting the Mercenary Hall’s ruthless money-making tactics.
After browsing for a while, Wang Xu decisively chose two Four-star tasks.
"Task Level: Four-star, collect three pieces of Jade Burning Flame Tiger skin, require 60% completeness, reward: 3000 Contribution Points, 9000 Cosmic Crystals."
"Task Level: Four-star, collect six Jade-toothed Steel Mosquito carcases, reward: 3500 Contribution Points, 12000 Cosmic Crystals."
Both Jade Burning Flame Tiger and Jade-toothed Steel Mosquito are extreme Upper Void Level Star Giant Beasts with nearby habitats, so Wang Xu directly selected these two tasks.
After applying to become a One-star Mercenary, Wang Xu put the two tasks into his Mercenary Card under the suspicious gaze of the staff.
