Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 381 - 203: Soul-Collecting Treasure Box

The mention of the information body made Chu Xiu pause for a moment.

His information body had contact with very few people in Abyss City, and he didn’t expect his identity to be exposed so quickly. He wondered how Mountain View Building found out.

"Did Song Lichuan leak the information? It’s possible, but more likely it came from within the Investigation Bureau."

"In any case, it clearly shows the terrifying ability of Mountain View Building to gather intelligence. The reputation of the first dark web organization spread across the globe is well-deserved."

Chu Xiu thought to himself, then nodded promptly to acknowledge it.

Seeing that he was indeed the Dark Night Monarch, the information body immediately became respectful: "Our Advanced member would like to meet you, I wonder if you have time at the moment?"

As the words fell, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

The Advanced member of Mountain View Building wants to meet me?

Chu Xiu had previously learned a little about the structure of Mountain View Building.

From low to high, there are three tiers of assassins: Copper, Silver, and Gold, above which are the members.

And the members are further divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with only those reaching the Heaven and Earth levels being Advanced members.

It’s important to know that Wen Feiyan, who is at King Tier, only holds a Profound Level Mountain Outpost Token, so wouldn’t the Advanced member be...

[Heroic Spirit]!

What business does a person of such status have with him?

Could it be because of Wen Feiyan’s death?

Seeing Chu Xiu’s expression turn somewhat serious, the information body hurriedly said: "Our current director member learned that the assassins in our Mountain View Building caused some trouble for you and wanted to apologize to you personally."

Seeing Chu Xiu seemed a bit puzzled, the information body added with a smile: "We don’t mind telling you a joke, though we are an assassin organization, Mountain View Building believes in making harmony and money."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu did not refuse and followed the information body upstairs.

The upper floor of Mountain View Building wasn’t much different from the first floor. In fact, in Abyss City, all luxurious decorations lose their meanings, as everything gathers here only as data flow.

When everything can be seen through to its essence at a glance, the beauty of things also disappears.

"This is truly a dead-silent world."

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but sigh again. He had only been in Abyss City for a little while and already felt suffocated; this must be how the world looks after being devoured by the Abyss.

Shaking his head to put away his sentimentality, Chu Xiu quickly followed the information body to the top floor of Mountain View Building.

The information body led Chu Xiu to the innermost, spacious room.

At this moment, a giant humanoid tiger was sitting inside.

His whole body was stuffed with data conduction tubes, and Chu Xiu could see a huge amount of data converging inside his body.

"Sir, the Dark Night Monarch has arrived," the information body beside Chu Xiu respectfully greeted.

As the words fell, the towering humanoid tiger raised his head and gave Chu Xiu a glance.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am this year’s director member, ’She Ti’, of Mountain View Building,"

Chu Xiu nodded: "My name is Chen Ce."

He had heard the name She Ti, which is a term representing the zodiac "Tiger" in an ancient chronology method.

It seemed to match the characteristics of the creature before him.

However, in Abyss City, appearances can be freely fabricated by users, making it hard to speculate on what he really looks like.

"So it’s Mr. Chen," She Ti began, his voice deep yet polite, "I invited you here to apologize on behalf of Mountain View Building for the inconvenience our members have caused you."

"This is a small token of appreciation, please accept it."

Saying this, he pushed forward a small crystal, handing it to Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu could clearly feel that as the crystal was handed over, the eyes of the information body standing beside him widened instantly, filled with envy and greed. However, seemingly worried about losing composure, he quickly lowered his eyelids, bowing out of the room while closing the door behind him.

"Boom."

With a slight sound, only Chu Xiu and She Ti remained in the room.

"What is this?" Chu Xiu glanced at the crystal, speaking up to ask.

"This is the only universal currency in Abyss City," She Ti said with a smile.

Chu Xiu lowered his head to take a look, and said lightly: "Currency needs an anchor."

Abyss City, when boiled down, is merely a large anonymous social platform, incapable of involving any material exchange, making it hard to bestow monetary significance.

"Correct," She Ti nodded, "In Abyss City, only information can circulate, so any commission or transaction must be conducted in the real world."

"And how to ensure the authenticity and reliability of transactions?"

She Ti smiled and tapped the table with his index finger: "That’s where Mountain View Building comes in."

"In Abyss City, 85% of transactions and commissions are facilitated by Mountain View Building, a result of our long-term operation and reputation."

"And upon gaining everyone’s trust, we can offer even more Advanced services."

"The item before you is our issued ’Abyss Coin’, which can be straightforwardly exchanged for Huaxia Coins at any of Mountain View Building’s offline branches, without requiring any personal information from the holder, only the unique code contained within the Crystal Coin."

"One Abyss Coin can directly be exchanged for one million Huaxia Coins."

"However, we do not recommend you do so, as it has many broader uses, such as purchasing intelligence, issuing commissions, and more. Some special services can only be bought with Abyss Coins."

"And before you is a total of ten thousand Abyss Coins."
