The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 225 - 137 Persuading a Man to Become a Witch, XXXX_2

Chapter 225: Chapter 137 Persuading a Man to Become a Witch, XXXX_2

He guessed that it was probably because he was the only experimental subject who had survived the experiment and was observed that he was granted this qualification.

But no matter what, at the very least he had indeed become that lucky one, the sole survivor in their entire region, and he even gained the special access to the network that the ordinary residents here did not have!

"And who knows, maybe it’s even better than drifting at sea on a boat..."

Having gone through a life-and-death crisis, even if he had numerous ambitions, he had become quiet and had started to feel at ease with his surroundings.

The Insect Clan that brought him here had vanished without a trace, and now he could only choose to enter this gigantic tree-made city.

"Is this the Lower City District?

Aside from the extremely high vegetation coverage rate, it’s almost like a modern town here, isn’t it..."

He didn’t find much information about the Lower City District on the network, after all, the network he accessed was only the witches’ from the Upper City District, with essentially no interaction with the Lower City District.

As a result, his original notion of the Lower City District was that of a slum-like, decrepit, dank, and decaying place.

But even though this Lower City District was located at the bottom of the giant tree forest, there was no smell of rotting earth particular to forests; instead, there was an unexpectedly fresh scent.

Furthermore, the buildings here were neatly constructed of bricks and stones, and the roads were paved with concrete, looking clean and tidy.

With various plants clinging to them, it even had the appeal of the green cities that those real estate businesspeople boasted about.

Rows of houses built up around the roots of those giant trees, under the lights, looked quite distinctive.

Whereas, above in the giant trees of the Upper City District, compared to the Lower City District, it was much more bustling, and the style gradually shifted towards fantasy.

All kinds of natural vine pathways suspended in mid-air, witches still busily flying through the trees, light balls embedded with a magic style, and plants that were likewise omnipresent.

The most eye-catching were the two massive buildings still under construction between the giant trees, but due to the angle of looking up and the progress of construction, he couldn’t discern their actual shapes, only continuously admiring the magic of this city in his heart.

However, he also knew that all of that belonged to the Upper City District and had nothing to do with him, a newly arrived resident of the Lower City District.

"Are you the ’Golden Ship’?"

The man was still basking in the long-lost atmosphere of returning to human society when he heard someone call out his Lord’s name. Looking toward the source of the voice, he saw a man in light blue overalls with short hair.

The outer jacket was not buttoned up, boldly revealing the casual clothes inside, with a print of a white-haired anime loli on them.

To think that he could see anime-style clothing in this world, if he wasn’t mistaken, this image...

"Ha, isn’t this nice? This is a design my son came up with by himself! Even the witches from the Upper City District wanted to spend money to place a custom order for it!

Ahaha, forgot you guys are new here, come with me first, just now the Insect Clan personally came over, asking me to arrange housing for you, get you settled down.

Come on, you can ask me any questions on the way."

"Does this Lower City District have any curfew system? Why does it seem like there are no people seen at night?"

The Golden Ship didn’t hesitate to ask his most pressing question right away.

The network he connected to didn’t provide much information about the Lower City District, so naturally, there was no description of any potential laws.

However, he also suspected that this was a matter of his own access privileges since such a large network was very obviously under the direct control of the ruler of this territory; it was not likely to contain only the partial information that he accessed so far.

"Of course not, it’s just that it’s already nighttime, everyone is at dinner time, and besides, all sorts of shops and pubs are just starting to prepare. Naturally, there will be very few people on the streets at night.

By the way, have you guys eaten dinner?

I can take you to a restaurant in the Lower City District first, my treat."

The man was very forthright, it seemed like the confidence he talked about earlier due to the witches from the Upper City District making custom orders for him.

But to treat...

This city actually has a currency system?

The Golden Ship immediately raised his concerns, to which the man replied,

"That is something that only appeared in recent days, all working Lords will be paid salaries, which you can use to buy things in the official stores operated by the Insect Clan.

As for the restaurants and pubs I mentioned just now, they are also newly established recently, it was the witches from the Upper City District who initiated it, and we followed to set them up, adding a bit of liveliness to life."

However, compared with the Upper City District, what we sell here are just some ordinary tools and some specialty signature foods; we don’t have those fine goods from the Upper City District..."

"Upper City District ah..."

Just as Golden Ship was about to sigh, he heard the man coaxing him with a hint of enticement:

"You don’t need to be envious. The method of joining the Upper City District is written in the Lower City District’s covenant, which you can see tomorrow at the city hall. Let me give you a brief rundown.

The way to join the Upper City District is very simple: just formally apply to become a witch..."

"Become a witch?! But I, I am..."

Golden Ship’s eyes widened in surprise, but the man seemed to have anticipated his reaction.

"Don’t be surprised; this is a privilege granted by our Lord. Just by applying, you can be perfectly transformed into a witch, possessing all of a witch’s traits, including their magical abilities and the legendary Swarm Network.

And the only cost is becoming a witch. How about it, want to consider it?

What about your companion here?"

The man looked on, grinning, as if enjoying a show, waiting for Golden Ship’s decision.

"This, this..."

Golden Ship was conflicted for a moment, as he clearly understood what so-called ’cost’ meant, but when it came to what he knew about the Upper City District and the witches from the network, he was actually quite tempted.

And I have two bodies; maybe I could use one to experience it first...

Even so...

Golden Ship kept searching for reasons in his mind to persuade himself.

And the man watched with interest as Golden Ship struggled internally.

After several tens of seconds, Golden Ship himself said he wanted to think it over, but the companion following him immediately agreed, with an even bigger smile on his face.

After bringing Golden Ship for a full meal at the restaurant and sending him back to his newly arranged accommodations, the man did not return to his own home but instead went to the city hall and entered a secretive room.

"Miss Shang Ji, I’ve completed my task..."

"Mm, you’ve done well. You can bring your child here tomorrow, and he will get educational opportunities equivalent to those of a witch, for one year.

After one year if he possesses enough Talent, he can continue his studies; but if he lacks Talent...

We won’t actively push for it, but if he voluntarily chooses to become a witch during this period, we will not stop him.

However, Councilman Hong, with your status, if you are willing, you can also come to study..."

This man, who had guided Golden Ship and acted as the Lord’s agent, was Councilman Hong from the Sanctuary in White Poplar City, who had been responsible for managing the Lower City District ever since the founding of Eternal Life City.

His dutiful work over this period had relieved Miss Shang Ji from calculating every move, and she began to regard him as a human colleague under Bai Yi’s leadership.

"Of course, of course, I understand...

But I’ll pass. I know I’m not cut out for this. As long as my son can make something of himself, I’ll be content...

Miss Shang Ji, I’ll be going then..."

With that said, Shang Ji did not attempt to persuade him further.

Watching Councilman Hong leave, Shang Ji murmured to herself:

"If it weren’t for the master’s experiment involving souls, which cannot be easily interfered with through the Swarm Network, why would it need to be this troublesome...

Well, now that the task is done, I should report the results to the master..."

After sending a message through the Swarm Network, Shang Ji deftly opened the window beside her and, using the Sky Control Technique, left the municipal building situated in the Lower City District.
