Chapter 93

The Western He Continent does not use copper coins, but gold and silver are natural currencies just like in the Dongsheng Continent.

By three of the five most powerful political groups in the West:

The United Kingdom of Britannia, the Black Teuton Noble Alliance, and the Gaul Empire joined with the New God Yesaya Church to jointly establish the 'White Eagle Bank'.

The Eagle Yuan issued is the strongest hard currency, and it is unimpeded even on the sea.

Among the Eagle Yuans, the five types minted from silver—the small Eagle Yuan, half Eagle Yuan, Eagle Yuan, five Eagle Yuan, and large Eagle Yuan—belong to the general currency for daily circulation;

The three types minted from gold—the small golden Eagle, golden Eagle, and large golden Eagle—are generally transaction currencies used when doing business;

The 'Pure White Eagle' minted from mithril is the silver-standard currency used only for big deals.

The smallest denomination, the small Eagle Yuan, is worth about half a qian of Ming Song silver, which is five copper coins.

This small amount of money, even when used as a tip, is truly not much.

But just to find a favorite dining spot, it cannot be considered stingy.

Weiwei picked up the small Eagle Yuan and put it in his pocket.

He led Zhang Gui to a dining table by the window.

It was not dinner time now; they were eating afternoon tea, a custom passed down by Western He nobles.

Zhang Gui followed the local customs, ordered three huge cake towers and ten pots of brown sugar milk tea, and began to enjoy them one mouthful at a time.

As he ate, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and a strong wind began to blow outside.

A woman with a charming appearance, a tall figure, dressed in Western-style men's casual wear, and aged in her late twenties to early thirties,

pushed the door open and walked into the restaurant.

She pulled a slender, embossed leather wallet from her pocket, fished out an Eagle Yuan, and pressed it onto Weiwei's tray.

She opened her mouth and asked: "Is that Oriental High Mountain Duke surnamed Zhang here?"

"Ms. Salisa, Lord Zhang is highly valued by the Emperor he serves.

He has inherited the military rank of his mother's clan and is now called General Caiyang."

Weiwei corrected her with a smile, then led Salisa to Zhang Gui's presence very attentively.

Zhang Gui shrugged in a very Western way,

"Ms. Salisa, you are a few minutes late for our agreed time.

But it doesn't matter, please sit down quickly.

We still have plenty of time to think about how to help me... um, um, um."

Salisa frowned and sat directly opposite Zhang Gui,

"Don't make it sound so ambiguous, Mr. Zhang.

Weiwei has been a receptionist at 'Taste of the Sea' for three years and has seen too many people like you who want to mix into the circle of big businessmen..."

Just then, in the howling wind and rain, the upper half of a corpse with a head flew by with the wind and 'slapped' against the crystal-clear crystal window.

A pair of wide-open dead eyes stared fixedly at Zhang Gui, slowly sliding down.

Leaving a thick bloodstain on the floor-to-ceiling window.

It was then washed clean by the heavy rain, as if nothing had happened.

This scene made Weiwei, who had not yet mastered supernatural powers, turn slightly pale.

However, all Western He people who have lived on the islands of the Outer Wild Ocean for more than ten days will inevitably get used to death slowly.

After all, the towns here look normal, but in reality, they are all paradises for adventurers.

On the contrary, Zhang Gui was not quite used to this experience of eating cake and drinking milk tea in a so-called high-end restaurant, preparing to enjoy a leisurely afternoon with a beauty,

only to be disturbed by half a corpse with a head.

Although he had been hanging around the Western He sphere of influence on Giant Serpent Head Island for a few months,

he had always deliberately avoided chaotic areas like slave warehouses, markets, and slums.

Plus, he never spent the night in Western He cities.

Every time he came, he wouldn't stay long, so he hadn't encountered any shocking events.

"Oh, Duke Zhang, it seems that your demon god bloodline originating from the mountains did not bring enough courage."

Salisa smiled slightly without changing her expression.

Afterwards, she alertly did not continue to stay by the window, but pulled Zhang Gui to crouch down and quickly moved to a position blocked by a wall.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just stunned.

What is this situation, suddenly..."

Before he could finish speaking, more corpses arrived with the wind and hit the windows of 'Taste of the Sea'.

Then a large wave of corpse tides arrived, and the 'slap, slap, slap' sounds were endless.

Before long, the outer walls of the restaurant were plastered with thick meat paste, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were shattered.

Rainwater and storms broke into the restaurant.

Sweeping up tables and chairs along with vases, fresh flowers, and oil paintings on the walls, ravaging them wantonly.

At this time, Zhang Gui, who had recovered from his astonishment, had regained his calm.

He quietly mobilized his divine authority to sense what had happened to Civilization Pioneer City.

As a result, he discovered that on the pier, countless walruses, sea lions, and seals were waving their fat bodies, launching a desperate charge against humans.

In the locations of the slave warehouses and markets, iron doors were opening one by one.

Thousands of Nan Chi slaves seemed to have been transformed from humans into zombies.

They were using the city as a restaurant and their enemies as food, enjoying the final gluttonous feast of their lives.

But apart from these situations that could be observed with the naked eye, Zhang Gui was surprised to find that he could not detect any hostile targets.

And in his view, this situation only had two possibilities.

One is that the countless marine amphibious animals attacking the human city and the thousands of Nan Chi slaves suddenly turning into zombies and eating people are all some kind of unknowable natural phenomenon.

Second, there is a powerhouse whose power level exceeds 'Territorial Divine Authority' who is an enemy of Civilization Pioneer City.

And just as the second conjecture surfaced in his mind, Zhang Gui felt a shiver all over and hurriedly dispersed his divine power.

He said he inherited multiple supreme god-demon bloodlines, and catching stars and grabbing the moon in the future would be a trivial matter.

But in fact, the strongest cultivator he had seen with his own eyes was only a fifth-rank 'Bing-Superior'.

He hadn't even seen anyone who had broken into the Yi category.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of abilities the mythical-level powerhouses who suppressed the Jia category and ascended to the 'Heavenly Position' in reality could master.

Facing unknowable powerhouses, hiding one's own specialness as much as possible is the smartest approach.

At this time, a raging fire flashed faintly in the direction of the port.

It is truly hard to imagine a fire breaking out in a torrential downpour.

However, according to Zhang Gui's current thoughts, no matter what strange things happen, it is better to remain still than to move.

But the thoughts of Salisa beside him were exactly the opposite.

Seeing the fire in the storm, her eyes widened, and she suddenly grabbed Zhang Gui's arm and ran into the rain together.

"Ms. Salisa, what do you want to do?"

"Save your life!

Listen, kid, Civilization Pioneer City is in big trouble now.

And according to my experience, the more you hide at this time, the faster you die.

On the contrary, running to places with many people and then fighting for survival probability is the smartest approach."

Salisa explained while pulling Zhang Gui and running wildly:

"The most serious supernatural attack in Civilization Pioneer City in the last hundred years only killed 12 percent of the total population.

It's two and a half times safer than getting the pneumonic plague."

While speaking, the rainwater that drenched her and poured into her mouth rolled rapidly on the surface of Salisa's body, gathering and deforming.

Finally, it turned into four huge water wings, flapping suddenly.

In an instant, Salisa flew up with Zhang Gui.

Her speed increased sharply in mid-air, and she passed through the streets like an afterimage, landing in the center of the port area.
