Chapter 1358: Who Can Blame Me for Being Outstanding?
Qin Yi said, "But I've searched everywhere below, and I couldn't find a single gold coin."
Yue Liuzhi laughed, "Every Tower Master is as rich as a nation. With such massive resources, would you be foolish enough to keep them by your side?"
Qin Yi instinctively nodded, thinking it made sense.
"So where do you keep your resources?"
"Sin City Bank."
Qin Yi was surprised and curiously asked, "What's Sin City Bank?"
Yue Liuzhi looked at Qin Yi as if he were an idiot, "You don't even know what a bank is?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Nonsense, of course I know. It's just that I've been in Sin City for a while now and never heard of any Sin City Bank."
Yue Liuzhi said, "The influence of Sin City Bank is vast, its power spans the entire Northern and Southern Central State. Even the Sword Sect and my Netherworld Hall have to be wary of it. After all, we all have our money in their hands. In this era, whoever controls resources and money is the boss."
Qin Yi nodded slightly. With massive resources and money at their fingertips, they can cultivate more powerful individuals and expand rapidly.
Yue Liuzhi said, "Sin City Bank only recognizes money, not people. It doesn't matter who you are or where the money came from. As long as you dare to deposit it, they dare to accept it. Moreover, whenever and wherever you go, you can withdraw every penny, plus considerable interest."
"Only recognizes money, not people?" Qin Yi frowned, "So if I kill Jiang Chao and Xu Jin, can I take their assets?"
"Of course you can. This is an agreement between the Sin Tower and Sin City Bank. If you win a challenge, the current Tower Master will inherit everything from the previous one, including resources, money, womenโbasically everything belonging to the former Tower Master becomes yours.
Sin City Bank will investigate. As long as it's confirmed that you won the challenge, they will transfer everything from the former Tower Master to you without a hitch."
Qin Yi's eyes lit up, "Is there really such a good thing? Thanks for letting me know. Otherwise, I would have thought I came for nothing, really frustrating."
"Weren't you here to rescue Miss Xiaoxi?"
Qin Yi laughed, "Rescuing Xiaoxi is just a side task. The main point is to make money."
Yue Liuzhi: "..."
Just then, several figures emerged from the depths of the third floor, each holding a dish in their hands.
Qin Yi swept his Divine Thought over them but couldn't discover how these people appeared. The strangest thing was that they were all ordinary people.
These people said nothing, arrived at the table, placed the dishes in order, and then turned to leave.
Qin Yi locked his Divine Thought onto them, watching as they walked into the darkness and then... then walked right through the wall.
"What the...?" Qin Yi's eyes widened.
That was a stone wall several meters thick, yet they walked right through it, how? ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆโฏ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธ๐ฐ๐
Yue Liuzhi said, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"
Qin Yi shook his head, "No, I saw the people serving the dishes walk through the wall. Are they human or ghost?"
Yue Liuzhi was stunned, turned back to look, only to see pitch-black darkness, completely impenetrable to the naked eye. Then, with a shocked expression, he looked at Qin Yi, "You can see?"
Qin Yi didn't hide it, nodding slightly, "I've always had extraordinary vision, known as the Thousand-mile Eye."
Yue Liuzhi was full of amazement, "No wonder you have such cultivation at a young age. Indeed, extraordinary people have extraordinary attributes. Actually, that's not a wall, but an array creating visual deception."
This time, it was Qin Yi's turn to be shocked. He naturally wasn't bad with array techniques, yet he didn't see through it.
"Let's eat, stop studying these things. Ahead of you are several grueling battles."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks without hesitation, and ate heartily.
Once he was almost done eating, Qin Yi lifted his head to look at Yue Liuzhi, "Aren't you eating?"
Yue Liuzhi's mouth twitched a few times. "You're only thinking of me now when there's only leftovers left?" He shook his head, "I ate just before you came up."
Qin Yi made an 'oh' sound, then bowed his head to continue eating.
Yue Liuzhi said, "Qin Yi, my young friend, there's something I hesitate to speak about."
"If you don't know, then don't say it."
Yue Liuzhi's mouth twitched, "Do you usually talk to people like this?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Qin Yi looked up.
Yue Liuzhi said, "A conversation should have back-and-forth, that's what makes it a conversation. You're just killing the conversation, how is it a chat?"
Qin Yi smiled, "No choice, they usually accommodate me. Who could blame my excellence? They can't beat me in a fight or outwit me."
Yue Liuzhi: "..."
It was the first time he met someone so shameless, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words. He had to admit Qin Yi was outstanding, but saying it himself was a bit too much.
"I'll be straightforward then. I advise you to retreat from the Sin Tower after rescuing Xiaoxi from the fourth floor."
Qin Yi looked up at him, "Why?"
"Because the higher you go, the stronger the Cultivation of the Tower Masters. Qin Yi, you're the most terrifying young person I've ever met. You've come as far as the fourth floor, destined to make a name in the Northern and Southern Central State. Stop right here, I don't want anything to happen to you."
Qin Yi gave him a strange look, "If a pretty girl said that to me, I'd think she's in love with me. But you're telling me you don't want anything to happen to me, it's oddly awkward?"
Yue Liuzhi was speechless, shaking his head helplessly, "I'm serious. Xu Jin is from the Sword Sect, but he's only the Tower Master of the second floor. Ahead, on the fourth, fifth, and seventh floors, all the Tower Masters are from the Sword Sect. They're not Xu Jin; their Cultivation is unfathomable. How terrifying, even I don't know."
"Qin Yi, you're still young, with a promising future and infinite possibilities. Stop at the fourth floor. With your talent, come back in ten years, and you'll surely directly challenge the seventh floor, maybe even the master behind the Sin Tower."
Qin Yi was taken aback, "The master behind the Sin Tower?"
"That's right, the world only knows the Sin Tower has seven Tower Masters. But they don't know the origin of the Sin Tower; there is someone behind it. People say Sin City has no lord, but the master behind the Sin Tower is the lord of Sin City. Think about it, here dwell all the wicked and ruthless people. If these people were subdued, that would be a terrifying force.
But no one has ever claimed Sin City. The Sword Sect has tried, the Netherworld Hall has tried, but they all failed. The reason is that Sin City already has a master, someone whom even the Sword Sect and Netherworld Hall dread. Currently, the seven Tower Masters in the Sin Tower include four people from the Sword Sect, two from my Netherworld Hall, and one from Sin City's lord.
Whether it's the Sword Sect or my Netherworld Hall, each Tower Master's existence is approved by the lord of Sin City."
Qin Yi was shocked, hearing about this for the first time. Before coming to Sin City, he'd heard it was masterless, and he had considered taking control. After all, Sin City spans the Northern and Southern Central State; if controlled, it would balance the power of the Sword Sect and Netherworld Hall.
