Chapter 367
Chapter 367: New World – Yuncheng
“Diamond-level flying machines are terrifyingly powerful!” Luo Sheng marveled inwardly.
This flying machine hadn’t even launched any active attacks, yet its passive defense alone had caused massive casualties.
A large number of invading creatures were rebounded, killing themselves in the process. They turned into cards as they fell to the ground, only to be shattered by their companions.
From cards to powder.
Luo Sheng felt a pang of regret just talking about it.
So many gold and silver cards, if sold on the black market, could probably fetch several thousand Card Coins.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t go down to retrieve them.
Because the level of dimensional contamination before him was too high.
The guardians protecting the world fragments were at least Platinum level, with some even reaching Full Star Platinum.
The other minor creatures were also Gold level and above.
Even the weakest ones were no less than Silver 7-star.
Yuchi Xueyao looked at the scene below and muttered, “It seems this Fate Realm has grown stronger again.”
Fate Realm was the name of this otherworld dimension.
A dimension belonging to a world of magic.
Luo Sheng asked, “If this place keeps getting stronger, hasn’t the Alliance sent anyone to eliminate it?”
Yuchi Xueyao shook her head, “The threat isn’t significant. It’s too far from any city, and no one is willing to subjugate it.”
Luo Sheng surveyed the massive Fate Realm dimension, feeling a sense of regret.
If the Alliance were to develop it, they could probably harvest a large number of high-level cards, potentially causing card inflation.
Of course, Luo Sheng suddenly thought of Acoley, who also belonged to a magic world. If she could obtain a world fragment, Acoley might have a chance to become an Epic level card.
Luo Sheng was now quite obsessed with Epic level cards.
After all, Epic level cards were incredibly powerful.
Killing across levels wasn’t just a dream.
At this moment, Yuchi Xueyao piloted the flying machine, quickly passing through the Fate Realm. Numerous invading creatures attacked the flying machine.
Luo Sheng even saw a Platinum level giant dragon.
It breathed out fierce flames.
Unfortunately, it was killed by the flying machine’s rebound effect.
Finally, it turned into a card and fell to the ground. Luo Sheng had just missed out on a Platinum level card.
But even with a hundred times more courage, he wouldn’t dare go outside to pick it up now.
Suddenly, the flying machine shook violently. Massive wind currents swept in continuously, and lightning flashed incessantly, turning the night into day.
Yuchi Xueyao had managed to avoid most of the otherworld dimensions they’d encountered before.
But this Fate Realm was impossible to bypass; its range was simply too vast.
Luo Sheng looked at the distant scenery, seeing almost a black line stretching to the end, covering at least a 500-kilometer radius of this otherworld dimension’s territory.
Fortunately, the flying machine’s speed wasn’t slow.
Yuchi Xueyao took about 5 minutes to pass through the Fate Realm. The flying machine reached a top speed of Mach 5, making the scenery before them look like a time tunnel.
After she broke out of the Fate Realm, the flying machine’s speed gradually decreased.
Luo Sheng guessed that the consumption of spiritual power was enormous during high-speed flight.
The straight-line distance from Pingcheng to Yuncheng was no more than 1,000 kilometers.
At Mach 3 speed, it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to arrive.
But Yuchi Xueyao had to fly for nearly an hour because there were many otherworld dimensions along the way.
To travel safely, they had to avoid these dimensions, which meant taking a longer route.
Everyone arrived in Yuncheng with some thrills but no danger.
Then, Luo Sheng saw the outline of Yuncheng in the distance. It was truly a giant city.
In the center of Yuncheng, one could see a CBD area with numerous skyscrapers standing tall, gleaming in the sunlight.
The rest was filled with dense streets bustling with people and prosperous commercial districts, which were common features of every city.
However, while Yuncheng was prosperous, the city’s outskirts were surrounded by towering walls, similar to the high walls in Attack on Titan, reaching a height of over 100 meters.
It looked much more heavily defended than Pingcheng, several orders of magnitude higher.
Luo Sheng gazed at the expanse of Yuncheng, which seemed almost endless, with no visible boundaries.
Seeing Luo Sheng’s inexperienced look, Yuchi Xueyao explained, “Yuncheng is home to over 10 million people.”
Luo Sheng understood what Yuchi Xueyao was saying.
She was trying to introduce the big city to this country bumpkin.
But Luo Sheng had already seen skyscrapers and super cities in his previous life, so this was normal to him.
However, there was one thing he couldn’t quite understand, “With so many people gathered together, wouldn’t it cause massive casualties if an otherworld dimension suddenly appeared?”
Luo Sheng recalled the scene when the Ghostly otherworld dimension descended upon Donghua Minxiang.
Many people were inexplicably drawn into the otherworld dimension and met a tragic end. According to official statistics, the number of civilians who died due to the descent of the Ghostly realm reached 1,000.
Now, with so many people gathered in Yuncheng, if even a small otherworld dimension appeared, tens of thousands of people would likely be wiped out instantly.
Yuchi Xueyao casually replied, “You can rest assured about that. Yuncheng’s thick walls contain some devices that prevent otherworld dimensions from appearing within the city.”
Luo Sheng was incredulous after hearing this.
Pingcheng indeed had such devices.
However, they were only located in the center of Pingcheng, like in the Card Tower and the area around the City Lord’s office.
The idea of Yuncheng using them on such a large scale seemed incredibly extravagant and unbelievable.
He had heard that these devices were quite expensive.
Yuchi Xueyao didn’t fly the aircraft directly into the city because Yuncheng’s airspace was a no-fly zone.
Even though she was an Obsidian level powerhouse, she still had to abide by this regulation.
Yuchi Xueyao parked the flying machine outside the city gate, then summoned a jeep to take them all to the front gate of Shenghui Card University.
Then she said to Luo Sheng, “Shenghui University doesn’t arrange dormitories for new students during the summer vacation. You’ll need to find a place to stay nearby. Of course, you’re not short on money now.
I suggest you go to Mingzhu District on East University Street. The houses there are spacious and bright, with room for many people. Moreover, many teachers live there, so it’s safer.”
Yuchi Xueyao took out a card and added, “Take my card. They’ll give you a discount when renting a house.”
After saying this, Yuchi Xueyao left without looking back.
She seemed to be in a great hurry, probably caught up in some urgent matter.
Luo Sheng had no choice but to take the card she gave him and, along with Xu Yourong and Xu Xiaoqin, head to the housing complex in Mingzhu District that she had mentioned.
It turned out to be a hillside villa.
A small hill was covered with numerous villas of various shapes and styles. There were European-style houses, Chinese-style palaces, Gothic churches, and even Arabian-style cube houses. Several fortresses and research centers could also be seen.
In short, houses of all styles could be found.
Xu Yourong explained from the side, “These should all be built using cards.”
“They’re not going to give us land and let us build houses manually, are they?” Luo Sheng wondered aloud.
Then they found the person in charge of this place.
A mature woman.
She warmly welcomed them and said, “What kind of style do you need? We only rent large, medium, and small plots of land here.”
Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be exactly as he had imagined. He asked, “Do we need to build the houses ourselves using cards?”
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll provide a large number of building cards. Once you’ve made your choice, we’ll send people to do it. It won’t take more than an hour to complete.”
“What about the price?”
“The rent for large, medium, and small plots is 100, 60, and 20 Card Coins per month respectively,” the mature woman said enthusiastically.
Luo Sheng was stunned after hearing this.
The price was outrageous.
Seeing that he thought it was expensive, the mature woman smiled and introduced further, “We’re in a prime location. Shenghui University is just outside, and it’s less than 3 kilometers to the Card Tower.
Moreover, we have Platinum level Card Masters for protection here, so there’s no problem with security. You can even build transmission channels in the villa, which can access the otherworld training areas set up in the suburbs.”
“Otherworld training areas?”
Luo Sheng had never heard of such a thing.
And they could even build transmission channels at home.
Seeing his confused look, the mature woman said, “You’ve just come from outside, right? It’s normal that you don’t know about the otherworld training areas.
They were established by the Yuncheng Card Alliance, a combat area in an otherworld dimension specifically provided for Card Masters to train, fight, and earn rewards.
Each entry into an otherworld training area requires one Card Coin, but if you rent our land, you don’t need to pay. Of course, you need at least a medium-sized plot to enjoy this benefit.”
Luo Sheng listened to her introduction.
After hesitating for a moment, he handed the card to the mature woman.
“Oh, so you were referred by Sister Yuchi Xueyao. We can give you a discount,” the mature woman said again.
