Chapter 549: Chapter 549: City of Dreams

As the thirteen of them stepped into the Teleportation Array, bursts of Teleportation Light flared, and they were instantly transported to the City of Dreams.

’So this is the City of Dreams. Just as I thought, the number of sub-humans here far exceeds that in the Qianyuan Republic’s cities in the Erosion Realm.’

Shu Feng walked through the streets of the City of Dreams, seeing many different races of sub-humans and taking in the exotic atmosphere.

Those sub-humans were slaves the Jiasen Republic had purchased from the Andoras World, along with their descendants.

Sub-human slaves from the Andoras World were very cheap. A beautiful young woman from the Dogman Race could generally be acquired for about one Gold Coin.

If that same beautiful Dogman Race female slave were transported to the City of Dreams and auctioned off, she could easily fetch a sky-high price of over fifty Gold Coins, yielding a fifty-fold profit.

This was the exorbitant profit that came with inter-Otherworld trade. Many of the Jiasen Republic’s major financial groups had grown by relying on this trade to amass immense fortunes.

Of course, Otherworld trade was not so simple. The Erosion Realm was fraught with danger, and a single misstep could lead to total annihilation. It wasn’t uncommon for entire caravans from the Jiasen Republic’s major financial groups to be wiped out by monsters in the Erosion Realm, suffering devastating losses from which they could never recover.

Lena used a Sound Transmission Secret Technique to say to Kapis, "Kapis, why did you let this stranger join us? The Erosion Realm is a lawless place. What if he’s a bad guy?"

Kapis smiled and sent back, "Don’t worry, Lena! My Ability is danger perception. This handsome guy feels like a good person to me."

Lena replied, "If your Ability says so, I’ll drop it. But next time, don’t bring strangers into our group. It’s too dangerous."

Kapis chuckled. "Got it, Lena!"

Shu Feng glanced at Kapis. ’So naive. There are countless Secret Techniques that can distort danger perception. She really is just a sheltered young lady.’

Shu Feng’s Spirit was a terrifying 12,700, so he had no trouble overhearing the girls’ private conversation.

The four of them took a luxury bus to the exit of the City of Dreams.

A huge caravan had already gathered at the city’s exit, consisting of about three hundred people, a mix of Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicles and Extraordinary Carriages.

The Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicles, worth billions, would turn into scrap metal the moment they entered the Andoras World. They were therefore used only as escape vehicles for important personnel. For true, large-scale Otherworld trade, Extraordinary Carriages were still necessary.

"Ankalei!"

As soon as Kapis approached the caravan, she enthusiastically called out to a tall, handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in formal attire, his hair neatly combed.

"Kapis, you’ve arrived!"

Ankalei smiled and walked over, his gaze landing on Shu Feng. "And this is?"

Kapis said, "This is Wu Ren, a new friend we met on the road. He’s also planning to adventure in the Andoras World."

Ankalei smiled faintly. "Mr. Wu Ren, our caravan doesn’t normally accept outsiders. However, since you’re a friend of Kapis, you’re an exception. Still, our journey to the Andoras World incurs costs. If you wish to travel with us, you must pay a fee of thirty million Jiasen dollars. In exchange, of course, we will ensure your safety."

One Jiasen dollar could be exchanged for ten Qianyuan, so thirty million Jiasen dollars was equivalent to three hundred million Qianyuan—by no means a small sum. Ankalei didn’t mind making a profit off Shu Feng.

Shu Feng said, "No problem. Can I use a card?"

"Of course," said Ankalei.

After paying the fee, Shu Feng officially became a member of the massive caravan.

The five of them chatted for a while. Zhu Li was very warm toward Ankalei, clearly infatuated with him. Ankalei, however, showered Lena with attention. Lena, for her part, merely treated him with polite courtesy, obviously not interested in him that way. Kapis was also friendly with Ankalei but kept him at an arm’s length, like a friend.

After a bit more small talk, Ankalei took his leave.

Shu Feng asked, "Kapis, Ankalei is handsome and rich. How come you don’t seem very interested in him?"

"Ankalei is the first-in-line heir to the Liszt Clan, a Ninth-level Financial Group. His wife is destined to be someone from a tenth-level or eighth-level financial group. Falling for him is a dead end. I’m not that foolish."

"Only a little fool like Zhu Li would be silly enough to fall for Ankalei and dream of marrying into the Liszt Clan. Too bad her family is only a First-level Financial Group. There’s no way she could ever marry him," Kapis gossiped candidly.

For Kapis and the other two beauties to be able to adventure in the Andoras World, they all had to have extraordinary backgrounds, hailing from the major financial groups of the Jiasen Republic.

But there was a clear hierarchy among these financial groups. For a woman from a First-level Financial Group to marry the first-in-line heir of a Ninth-level Financial Group was a pipe dream, unless she possessed the kind of kingdom-toppling, peerless beauty.

After leaving the three women, Ankalei boarded a stretch luxury Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicle.

The interior of the vehicle was spacious, elegant, and luxurious, equipped with all sorts of modern amenities like a television, a refrigerator, and air conditioning.

A middle-aged man in a black Mage Robe stood savoring a glass of red wine, his gaze fixed on the scene outside through the vehicle’s one-way window.

The moment Ankalei entered the Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicle, he bowed to the middle-aged man and said respectfully, "Master Meida!"

The middle-aged man in the black Mage Robe was none other than Master Meida, a Spirit Saint Level Skill Mage. Even an heir to a Ninth-level Financial Group like Ankalei had to bow his head before him.

Master Meida suddenly sighed. "Those three beauties from just now were quite something."

Ankalei smiled faintly. "Zhu Li is from a First-level Financial Group, Kapis is from a second-level financial group, and Lena is from a Level 4 financial group. If they were to disappear in the Erosion Realm, it wouldn’t cause any trouble."

Although Ankalei had taken a slight fancy to Lena, he was always surrounded by beautiful women. He certainly wouldn’t offend Master Meida over a single girl.

Since Master Meida had spoken up, he had obviously taken an interest in the three young women. Ankalei simply played along, laying out their backgrounds for him.

If Zhu Li and the other two were to disappear in the Jiasen Republic, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar. Even a Ninth-level Financial Group like the Liszt Clan would have to pay a steep price to cover it up. But in the Erosion Realm, where even Spirit Saints could be killed, it was perfectly normal for a few naive, sheltered heiresses from financial groups to simply vanish.
