"Ugh!" Christine supported Bexia, who was retching, with a worried look on her face. Even he himself was speechless. He had just gotten used to the motion sickness on the carriage, and now he found himself feeling dizzy from the teleportation portal. But it wasn't entirely his fault. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable in the portal? When they stepped out of the portal, it wasn't just him who had a pale face. He even saw some people fainting. He figured he wasn't the worst off, at least he didn't embarrass himself too much.
"Is this the main city of Inkstar?" Bexia looked at the square where the teleportation portal led them out. The feeling of hundreds of hundred-meter diameter portals on the square was somewhat scattered. The dense crowd was beyond imagination. Just by feeling it, he didn't see a single ordinary person passing by him. He even saw one or two experts surpassing the Extreme level. As a high-ranking magician himself, he felt extremely ordinary.
"Let's go! Let's first understand the situation." Although they had some information about the main city of Mo Xing, it was ultimately useless because it was all obtained through Christine's memory reading, and that half-fish man had never been here.
"From the looks of it, both of you are clearly first-time visitors to our main city of Mo Xing. I grew up here and I don't know if you would need our services. I only charge one lower-ranked magic stone a day, it's very cheap." Bexia was still worried. Unexpectedly, just two steps away, a boy wearing loose clothes walked over. He seemed quite young, probably around twelve or thirteen years old, with a naive expression. He gave off the feeling of a lower-ranked magician.
"Then you can guide us around the main city of Mo Xing and tell us about what we need to pay attention to here!" Bexia asked another question, "What's your name?"
"I'm Zemou. How should I address both of you?" The boy was very happy to receive a job from Bexia. For him, earning one magic stone a day was considered good income.
"I'm Bexia, and this is my lover Christine!"
"Lord Bexia! Lady Christine!"
"Lead the way then! As a first-time visitor, you can first introduce the situation of the main city of Mo Xing to me!" Bexia said to Zemou.
"Of course, my lord! Our main city of Mo Xing is one of the ten major cities in the Crystal Sea World. It is guarded by the sovereign-level powerhouse, Lord Mo Xing, and is ranked high among the main cities in the Crystal Sea World. It spans an area of over 10,000 kilometers and is divided into two levels."
"Two levels?!" Bexia was curious.
"The inner level is the private territory of Lord Mo Xing. In addition to the Lord's Mansion, there are also three elite legions under his command. Each legion is led by a high-level champion-level legion commander, as well as five champion-level commanders. The condition to enter is at least being an advanced cultivator, and you also need to pass a strict selection process..." Zemou's eyes were gleaming as he spoke, looking very yearning. It seemed that this legion was really powerful!
You see, in the Godsend Continent, a champion is a guardian at the national level, an existence transcending power. But in this world, they are just a legion commander, and even a thousand-unit leader is a champion. The difference is just too big.
"And beyond the inner city is the outer city where ordinary people like us live. But even within the outer city, there are different areas. The place we are currently in is actually the outermost region, and privately we call it the Outer Ring. It is located 7,000 kilometers away from the main city of Mobai, and there are no restrictions here. Anyone can live here!"
"But a long time ago, this area 7,000 kilometers away was not considered part of the main city of Mobai. Originally, the distance was only 5,000 kilometers. It's just that over time, the main city gradually expanded to its current size. In the eyes of the gentlemen in the inner city, we in the Outer Ring are nothing but refugees!" At this point, Zemuzi chuckled, and Bexia could see a bitter smile on his face.
Bexia thought that the outer city should be similar to the noble area of the Divine Blessing, and this outer area should be similar to the commoner area.
"But our Outer Ring is actually the most prosperous area. Although we may not be as wealthy as those big shots, we have everything here. There is a wide variety of commercial goods available, and you can buy anything you want!"
"Is that so?" Bexia was quite curious and asked, "Anything can be bought here?"
"Don't underestimate the Outer Ring, sir. It is one of the top trading areas in the entire Crystal Sea world. As long as you have money, you can buy rare equipment, props, even slaves from other worlds. You can even buy dimensional battleships!"
"Oh! Dimensional battleships?!" Bexia showed a slightly curious expression.
"Dimensional battleships are terrifying war weapons! I have seen videos in the shops. With just one shot, they can destroy a large city. Their power is simply earth-shattering!"
"Dimensional battleships are technological objects that are divided into ten levels, from low to high. First-level cosmic technology is equivalent to the level of a champion, second level represents a sovereign, and third level is equivalent to a legendary saint. It is said that dimensional battleships above level six can even kill deities!"
As Zemuzi described it, Bexia's eyes sparkled. Dimensional battleships were indeed powerful. He had been very interested in them before, and now he was even more fascinated, especially knowing that they were powerful enough to slay gods!
But the prices Zemuzi mentioned next made Bexia headache. The amount of Dimension Coins needed for a dimensional battleship was astronomical. Even the lowest level of dimensional battleship required at least five million Dimension Coins. It was estimated that even if all the wealth in the Kingdom of Asman were combined, it would still not be enough to buy one.
In the entire Crystal Sea world, one could count the number of individuals with private battleships on one hand. Even ten sovereigns would find it unbearable to own a dimensional battleship.
As soon as Zemuzi mentioned Dimension Coins, Bexia remembered the Dimensional Universe Network and immediately asked where he could buy a login device.
"Sir, I'm afraid I can't help you with buying a login device for the Dimensional Universe Network. Those are sold in the commercial district of the outer city, and I, as a humble person, don't go there at all!"
"I can't go in?" Bexia asked, "Why not?"
"Only strong individuals like you, sir, or those with status can enter the outer city. People like me can enter too, but we have to pay ten standard energy stones or one Dimension Coin!"
"I see!" Bexia finally understood Zemuzi's meaning. It was simply too costly to enter. He only paid one Magic Stone for a day with Zemuzi as his guide, but entering the outer city would cost him a whole stone. He couldn't afford it, and it would be a loss-making deal for him too!
"No problem, just show me the way. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
"Alright! Sir, please follow me!" Zemugan, upon hearing Bexia's words, happily smiled. It should be noted that he had only been to the outer city area once before and had a deep longing for what lay inside.
