Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 599 - 464 Enjoy!_2

Endless thoughts tangled in his mind like a ball of yarn, Bai E suddenly thought of the most precise possibility—

Perhaps the demons "saw" his characteristic of being a player who descended into being a character in the game, and they wanted to trace his origin, thus finding a way to invade the "real world."

"..."

Isn't that special enough?

It just required some time to verify.

Bai E shook his head indifferently, "Never mind, I'll deal with the demon when I meet it next time."

Whether it was because of the special nature of Black Street or because of his uniqueness, time would naturally reveal all.

After all, as his status in the city rose, the map of his activities would not be limited to just the line between Black Street and the military camp.

The possibility of coming into contact with more things had increased substantially.

Like tonight...

Weslin had made plans with him to visit the inner city, saying he wanted to experience the local customs and culture, and later he would take him to mix in the inner city.

"Do whatever you want; it's your own business," Yue Ying said helplessly.

The demons' homeland was in a higher dimensional space, where they could infiltrate humanity recklessly, yet humans couldn't do anything against them.

"I don't have other matters, but I still need to accompany Weslin to the inner city tonight."

Yue Ying's face was expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with her, she lightly responded, "Got it."

Watching Bai E's departing figure, Yue Ying's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her face full of confusion.

She felt that Bai E obviously had some guesses but he didn't state them explicitly.

Did he have some reservations?

...

Bai E changed into a suit that Weslin had prepared for him.

According to him, the individuals he was about to meet were all high-ranking figures in the city, and since the destination leaned toward entertainment, wearing a serious military uniform would be somewhat out of place.

The suit fitted Bai E perfectly, his figure tall and straight, his features strong and handsome.

Weslin, who had also changed into a suit, was impressed when he saw Bai E.

Good-looking but not enough to outshine himself, with a strong presence and even physical prowess—what could be better than such a partner and bodyguard?

The key was his unwavering loyalty; even if he left the military camp in the future, he would have to lure this guy away to stay by his side.

"Let's go to the inner city," Weslin took the lead, taking Bai E to his private car and darted toward the city.

The city lights had just come on, and the scenery of the inner city didn't seem as bustling as the metropolises Bai E knew from his original world.

The dim lights barely illuminated the long streets, the road sides desolate, the facilities old and worn.

Busy figures could be seen everywhere along the roadside.

However, at the sight of Weslin's car, they all instinctively maintained a certain distance.

In this city, some people were simply untouchable for the ordinary folk.

No matter how harsh the apocalypse, humans still had to live.

Labor, exchange, resources—these were the eternal social forms of humanity.

"After so many years of city development, the surface space just isn't enough; many people live deep underground," Weslin said while driving, educating the Bai E sitting beside him on the co-pilot's seat with some common knowledge of the inner city, "The place we're going to is underground, to give you a bit of an eye-opener."

Weslin truly wanted to keep Bai E's absolute combat power by his side, so he began to try luring him firmly onto his own chariot with things all humans liked.

The only inviolable command in the Artificial Human's genes was "for the sake of humanity."

But apart from that, their bodies, identical to those of natural humans, allowed them to fall in love with various pleasures just like natural humans.

Only when they shared similar hobbies and secrets could he truly establish a closer and more intimate relationship with himself in his heart.

Bai E's eyes watched the bright lights outside the window without making a sound.

He was well aware of Weslin's intentions, but he also wanted to take a closer look at the scenery within the city.

After all, he was always destined to take over at least 51% control of the city. Naturally, he needed to understand every aspect of it.

The car traveled down the spiraling road, passing through at least three checkpoints, but Weslin's car bore a special emblem, and none of the checkpoints required them to stop for inspection.

"The city's top indulgences are all in its lowest layer, the most chaotic and craziest place. Of course, for us, it's all about pleasure," Weslin's lips curved slightly, enjoying the various gazes that lingered on the vehicle as it passed by.

The pursuit of a city lord's successor wasn't much; power was something his father had told him to strive for—at least to the extent that he didn't appear so wasteful as to be disrespected.

Only genuine pleasure is the fun life should have.

Life is short and living in these dark times, he didn't think humanity could shine again... at least not in his generation.

For himself, it was enough just to play.

The lower they went, the more turbid the air seemed, and the temperature rose slightly.

Through hundreds of years of development, a city that could not expand outward had to dig downward.

Geothermal heat and the difficulty in circulating air created the harsh environment of the lower levels.

The steel avenue emitted the smell of machine oil, which entered the car through the cycling system and was somewhat pungent.

Apart from the "important people" coming down from the upper levels for fun, the physical bottom dwellers of the city were simultaneously at the lowest rung of political status.

The military's recruitment was actually aimed at these poor people. Only those with no hope for the future would risk their necks, attempting to win a future through military exploits. Their status in the barracks was not much different from that of artificial humans.

Yet, precisely because of this, these people were the ones more eager to distance themselves from artificial humans.

Only by securing the artificial humans at the very bottom could they feel that they were not truly the lowest class.

And now, under the watchful gaze of those greedy yet repressed eyes, Weslin's car's taillights traveled along the city's bottom layer's only steel avenue to its end.

At the end of this avenue was a gigantic building adorned with colorful neon lights.

The spacious circular plaza was even slightly larger than the military camp's drill ground, with its fountains' bases emitting a golden glow and statues of holy goddesses so white and immaculate.

Pleasant music wafted across the entire plaza, where passersby were all well-dressed elite members of the city's upper echelons.

The darker and more hopeless the times, the more people needed excessive pleasures to numb their senses.

This intoxicating, opulent atmosphere far surpassed anything Bai E had seen or imagined in his most extravagant dreams before crossing over to this world, enticing one to linger and completely lose themselves.

Bai E slightly furrowed his brow, feeling subconsciously uncomfortable.

In such an effete place, wouldn't it draw the attention of demons?

As the car passed a certain boundary by the plaza, Bai E distinctly felt an odd sensation sweep over him.

Looking back, he realized he had just gone through some kind of Spiritual Energy check.

Seeing the look on Bai E's face, Weslin chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Not quite comfortable with the atmosphere here?"

A battle-hardened general might feel out of place in this hedonistic environment on their first visit.

But no one would reject pleasure; Weslin believed it was a basic human instinct to pursue it.

Bai E admitted, "A bit... But what puzzles me more is how such a place doesn't attract the attention of demons?"

In a place so rife with desires, Bai E found it hard not to associate it with the dens of demons.

"Do you know how many seasoned executioners from Arbitration Place are watching over this area? Not to mention that a lot of money was spent here to inscribe an Array that filters out demonic temptations. Moreover, demons don't corrupt the real world so easily; it's not easy for them to penetrate the core of our human world unless there's deliberate sacrificial conduct. Don't worry, this place is absolutely safe."

With a "zizz" sound, Weslin steadied the car and patted Bai E's shoulder, his face beaming with a smile, "Come on, indulge, relax once in a while. You need to learn to take it easy. This is our kingdom!"
