279. Chapter 279: Reborn

After repelling the black cat, the rest of Li Yi and Fan Zhizhou's journey was relatively smooth. They didn't encounter any extraordinary creatures. It was only when they were leaving the danger zone that they encountered a lone fierce beast. Its strength was not very strong. Li Yi, thinking that he had come here anyway, killed it easily and brought it back to sell for money before entering the city.

However, ever since Fan Zhizhou lost to that cat, he had been very silent all the way. It seemed that his confidence had been hit hard, and he didn't say a word.

Until they were about to enter the city, Fan Zhizhou asked: "Young Master Li, are there many existences as strong as that black cat in this world?"

He wanted to confirm whether he was just unlucky and met something relatively powerful as soon as he arrived, which was why he suffered a defeat.

"That black cat's strength is not bad, but it's not very strong either. Moreover, there are many similar extraordinary creatures, but their strength is uneven. Your body hasn't evolved, and your foundation is too poor. Even with the blessing of fist force, it's better to forget about fighting against extraordinary creatures. Any extraordinary creature can take your life."

"And above extraordinary creatures, there are legendary mythical creatures. That thing is really terrifying. I once saw a creature that feeds on dragons in the sky near my house. Fortunately, it had no hostility toward me and finally chased the lightning away, otherwise I would have been finished too."

Li Yi said while walking, dragging the corpse of a fierce beast with one hand, and finally brought it back.

The two successfully passed the city defense line. Near this defense line, there were still many purchasers buying the bodies of fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures. These things have always been popular goods, and they are indispensable in biological research, extraordinary technology, and even medical use.

"Friend, are you selling the fierce beast corpse in your hand?"

As soon as Li Yi came, a purchaser approached enthusiastically.

"Selling, give me a price."

Li Yi threw the fierce beast's corpse in front.

The purchaser walked around the fierce beast's corpse and looked at it, but found that the fierce beast had just died not long ago, and the body was still hot, so he said immediately: "The quality of this fierce beast's corpse is very good, I offer four million."

"Four million? Is the price of fierce beasts so low now?" Li Yi was very surprised. 【27

He remembered that the last time he sold ferocious beasts, the price for a single head easily exceeded ten million; although there were requirements for hunting quotas back then, even if the price had fallen, it shouldn't have dropped this drastically.

The buyer immediately said: "This price is already considered high. Recently, the price of ferocious beasts in the market has been falling, and many buyers have gone bankrupt. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask around. I'm not making up lies to fool you. However, the price of extraordinary creatures has remained very firm, but my capital is limited, so I rarely buy extraordinary creatures."

Seeing this, Li Yi asked: "There must be a reason for the price of ferocious beasts to drop so sharply, do you know why?"

He thought that perhaps some major event had occurred in Tianchang City recently, so he wanted to understand more about it.

The buyer said: "I heard from other buyers in the neighboring Tianhan City that a fierce person appeared over there. Recently, they have been frantically hunting ferocious beasts, and the ferocious beasts in the danger zones there have almost been wiped out. Later, I heard they ran to the danger zones of other cities to hunt. Suddenly, a large batch of ferocious beast carcasses appeared on the market, so the price has naturally been plummeting."

"That sounds so absurd. An evolver enters and exits danger zones without hunting extraordinary creatures, only hunting ferocious beasts? And they single-handedly drove down the price of ferocious beasts?" Li Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

"Isn't that so? When evolvers break into danger zones, why would they only stare at ferocious beasts to kill? Extraordinary creatures are more cost-effective; one is worth ten or twenty ferocious beasts. We buyers don't understand how that person managed to do it, unless they were just bored and only killed ferocious beasts, but that possibility is too low."

This buyer shook his head, unable to understand it himself.

Li Yi asked again: "What is that evolver's strength? What is their name?"

"I don't know, that person's strength is unknown, but I do have some impression of the name, it seems to be called A-Wei," the buyer said.

A-Wei?

Li Yi took note of it slightly, then said: "Since the price of ferocious beasts has dropped, then four million it is, but I want cash."

"That's no problem."

The buyer said immediately, then signed the acquisition contract with Li Yi, and had his assistant bring four million in cash.

After Li Yi got the money, he didn't keep it for himself, but gave it to Fan Zhizhou: "You are new here, it won't do to have no money on you. This money counts as my care for you, but it is limited to this. If you want to train and grow, you cannot rely on me too much. You must find a way to integrate into this world yourself and learn how to survive."

"Many thanks," Fan Zhizhou said with heartfelt gratitude after taking the money.

"In short, before you understand this world, you had better not leave the city area, otherwise you are prone to encountering accidents. Additionally, I suggest you find a meditation room as soon as possible and start learning how to evolve and cultivate. Of course, before that, you must treat the wounds on your body," Li Yi said.

"I have medicine for wounds on me, these minor injuries are no hindrance," Fan Zhizhou said.

Li Yi nodded and said: "That's good. Follow this road forward until you reach the city area. This vicinity is very safe, no need to worry about the appearance of extraordinary creatures. However, the people of our world are born evil and have no credibility in their words. You had better keep your guard up and don't get cheated. That is all I have to say, farewell."

After he finished speaking, he left Fan Zhizhou alone and departed.

"Young Master Li, then if I have something to attend to, where should I go to find you?" Suddenly, Fan Zhizhou remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"I live in the Heping Financial Building. Once you understand everything here, you will naturally be able to find my residence."

Li Yi's voice came from afar, and then he got into a car and left very quickly.

He was not a nanny and would not teach Fan Zhizhou step-by-step how to integrate into a modernized city. Being able to leave behind a sum of money and bring him out of the danger zone was already considered benevolent.

Moreover, Fan Zhizhou had the strength of Meridian Cultivation, so living in the city should not be difficult. After he has trained and grown for a while, whether he is a genius or a fool will naturally be clear at a glance.

Seeing Li Yi leave, Fan Zhizhou took a deep breath at this moment. He looked at the city in the distance, filled with high-rise buildings; everything felt so strange. He looked up at the sky, but saw only a bright moon illuminating it, completely different from the Four Seas and Bazhou, because in the Four Seas and Bazhou, there were two moons.

Although there were many people nearby, there was no one he recognized, and his own attire and appearance were completely different from theirs.

However, the people of this world seemed to be very inclusive, and him being so unconventional did not attract too much attention from others.

Fan Zhizhou did not rush into the city, but found a place nearby to rest for a while, ate an elixir for healing, and then simply bandaged his wounds. Then he began to observe the surroundings. He saw practitioners coming out of the danger zone one after another. These practitioners' eyes glowed in the night, and like Li Yi, they revealed something extraordinary.

It was just that their strength should not be particularly strong; they lacked the sense of oppression that Li Yi had, and the practitioners entering and exiting the danger zone had different harvests.

Some had hunted ferocious beasts, some returned empty-handed, and of course, there were powerful evolvers who actually brought back the carcasses of extraordinary creatures.

Fan Zhizhou also followed the buyers to join in the excitement. He saw that extraordinary creature; it was a creature covered in scales. As for what it was called, he didn't know. He only knew that the scales of this extraordinary creature were indestructible, because he had tried it with the dagger he carried when no one was paying attention.

Sparks flew, and the dagger he considered a divine weapon snapped directly.

"How do you kill this thing?" Fan Zhizhou was silent again.

Such hard scales, he estimated that even the Gang Qi of a Meridian Cultivation Realm expert could be resisted. If it were in the Four Seas and Bazhou, he didn't know how many people's lives would have to be sacrificed to hunt it.

Later, he inquired and learned that the reason this extraordinary creature died was because someone used a sniper rifle to shoot through its brain. The bullet entered through the eye, killing it in one shot.

Fan Zhizhou had seen that gun; it was exactly the same as the weapon Li Yi brought to the Four Seas and Bazhou.

A weapon that could kill a Meridian Cultivation Realm expert from five hundred paces away, yet here, it still had to hit a vital point to kill an extraordinary creature?

And there were many such extraordinary creatures in this world, and there were even more terrifying mythical creatures. He thought of Li Yi's description: that mythical creature could actually chase the lightning above the firmament?

"Haha." Fan Zhizhou laughed.

While laughing, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked toward the brightly lit city. With disheveled hair and a crazed expression, the pride and arrogance he had held for years as a disciple of a noble family were shattered by this huge gap, leaving nothing behind. He had originally thought that after seeing the vast world, he could still make a name for himself, and he even felt that Li Yi was nothing special, just strong because their world was powerful, not because of Li Yi himself.

But now, Fan Zhizhou began to understand how terrifying this world, where experts were as numerous as crucian carp, was, and how insignificant he was. Even if he became a Meridian Cultivation or Spirit Perception Realm expert, he would simply be unable to get ahead.

Like a strong ant that had walked out of its nest, he looked up at the sky at this moment, only to find that he was actually so weak, and his previous fantasies felt even more ridiculous.

However, as Fan Zhizhou laughed, he quickly pulled himself together.

He could not become decadent just because he had seen the gap; instead, he should strive to catch up. This world was so wonderful. If he could make a name for himself in this world, then the moment he returned to the Four Seas and Bazhou, everyone would have to bow before him. No, the Four Seas and Bazhou were too small, small enough to be suffocating. Why would he go back?

To play house with them?

From now on, Tianchang City was his home. As for those relatives and friends from before, sorry, not very familiar.

"My life as Fan Zhizhou has just begun, how could I be willing to fall behind others?"

He longed to let out a long howl to vent his depression, and at the same time felt that he was being reborn.
