The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 595 - 464: A World with Open-Price Tags (Part 3)
[Effect: Credit level increase rate increased by 15%, all exchange items in the mall require 15% less credit level and money.]
"So many titles, and it only adds up to 15%?" Vishdair pouted a bit discontentedly, "It's basically an 85% discount, that's too little..."
"Hahaha Harlow! The system is above!"
Harlow screamed dramatically, with his eyes turning red: "It's actually 15%!"
"Miss Vishdair, do you know that the title [Mayor of Coastal City] alone would result in this figure?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Under Harlow's shout, everyone realized the substantial value of this 15%.
Lin Guang thought for a moment and clicked on the credit level leaderboard in the software.
[First place: Sui]
[Credit Level: 7872]
Lisa, her face still with a hint of baby fat adorableness, leaned on Lin Guang's arm: "This person's level is so high."
Lin Guang casually patted her on the ear and nodded.
Such a presence must also possess titles not inferior to his.
Even counting with a 15% discount, it seems Sui is not far from obtaining the qualifications for the contract system.
Of course, it can't be calculated this simply.
It is said the higher the credit level, the harder it is to improve, especially in "making money," where breakthroughs are hard to come by, forcing people to focus on "reputation."
That's why, in a place like Coastal City where money seems almost divine, it's common to hear news about billionaires donating hundreds of billions to bounty Demon Race outside of realms or comforting families of sacrificed soldiers.
Or in other words, it is precisely because of the omnipresent rules here that the "money-can-work-wonders" saying emerged, attracting countless outsiders, making it one of the most prosperous international metropolises on Blue Star.
This might... also be a kind of experiment by Great Xia.
"Harlow, Harlow—"
Harlow suddenly projected a map in the air, with a small dot of light flashing, representing their current location: "We are about to enter the city area from the military zone."
"Champion Lin Guang, are you going to the Sky Arena immediately, head to Longteng University for reporting, or do you want to take a stroll around the city to see the sights?"
Looking at the three girls beside him.
Although they didn't say anything, seeing their sparkling eyes, Lin Guang naturally couldn't ignore...they were also curious about this place.
"Let's take a stroll and enjoy the scenery first."
"Harlow! Then I will elevate the altitude and prepare to enter the city area!"
...
The speed of the Hanhai-7 is more like conducting a short low-altitude flight rather than driving a car.
It didn't take long for the group to traverse the massive city wall at the edge of the city area, silently merging into the aerial traffic flow above the city.
The group gazed out at the scenery with a bit of wonder.
At this moment, they seemed to be in a futuristic city constructed with steel, glass, and light.
Perhaps to cover as much population as possible within the rules, Coastal City's urban depth is enormous, with high-rises everywhere, appearing extremely three-dimensional.
Although there is good lighting on the ground, preventing any shadows from blocking the sunlight, ground transportation alone is clearly inadequate for buildings reaching nearly a thousand meters tall.
Almost every building has docking platforms and entrances located on the upper floors.
Vehicles and various types of flying Spirit Beasts of different shapes shuttle around them, forming a mesmerizing three-dimensional transportation network.
These vehicles and Spirit Beasts do not fly haphazardly but move along a complex yet orderly three-dimensional track guided by beams of light from an unknown source, divided by size and speed into different lanes.
These light tracks layered and crossed amid the city's skyscrapers, appearing quite breathtaking.
This Harlow is evidently an expert driver, maneuvering the vehicle freely through the flow, introducing the four to landmark buildings and finding the best vantage points, offering a broadened perspective.
Despite having already watched videos online, witnessing this magnificent scene in person still stirred emotions.
It's no wonder many say Coastal City's other name is "Cyber City."
Lin Guang, new to this place and not yet having specific experiences, couldn't quite articulate whether he would like or adapt to it.
But in summation...
It indeed matches Tianmu's description.
This city is an anomaly even within the whole of Great Xia.
Will the upcoming time be spent here?
His [Greed Monarchy], it sounds quite fitting with the rules here.
"..."
Lin Guang couldn't help but put his hand on his chest.
For some reason, his Heart of Terra and True Intent suddenly seemed a bit excited, thumping rapidly.
Since even his instincts and nature seemed to be telling him this, the upcoming life was bound to be grand...
Lin Guang licked his lips, took a chilled bottle of mineral water from Vishdair, opened the cap, and took a sip.
Just at that moment—
Boom.
A not-so-loud, even a fairly soft sound occurred.
Yet, in this instant, all four of them stiffened, especially Vishdair, who was most sensitive to this type of noise, immediately recognized what it was.
It was an explosion sound.
And along with this explosive sound and flame, even the sturdy dome of the top hovercar Lin Guang was riding trembled slightly.
With the car's soundproofing, being able to hear it meant the sound outside must have been deafening.
Then came the dense crackling sound.
He instinctively looked towards the direction from which the noise came, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Hundreds of meters diagonally behind him in the air, a flamboyantly painted deep blue hover pickup was performing what could be termed as crazy maneuvers, sometimes floating like a falling leaf and other times cutting through the airflow like a sharp blade, weaving through dense flashes.
Of course, such a scene wasn't much for Lin Guang, who'd weathered storms and waves.
What truly shocked him...
Was someone he knew... or rather, someone he was aware of.
A girl with red side ponytail, possessing a remarkably beautiful face.
At this moment, she was half sticking her body out of the car window, holding a spiritual artifact akin to a submachine gun, firing frantically at the rear.
Above her head was a dazzling angelic halo like an incandescent light, and behind her were a few half-transparent, tattered wings resembling cicada wings.
[Species]: Law-Seeking Angel (Kurokawa Zasetsu/Remyu)
[Origin]: Terra Continent
[Potential]: Purple Legend
[Status]: Holy Beast Blessing
[Attribute]: Light
At this moment.
Despite having walked through life and death crises multiple times and experienced storms and waves, seeing this scene and the panel fed back from the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence slapped onto his face.
Even he, while drinking, couldn't remain calm, choked by taking in a sudden breath.
Was this the reason his Heart of Terra suddenly leapt up?!
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough—"
"Harlow! Harlow!! I'm about to short-circuit!!"
