Chapter 1359 - 1343: Someone from Home Has Arrived
Yang Xiao glanced at the Citizen Hall entrance, inserted the ten-meter-long giant sword into the ground at the door, and walked in slowly.
The hall inside was simple, approximately four to five hundred square meters, with a central table and an old man leaning slumberly in his chair.
It seemed that the fierce battle that had occurred on Wealth Avenue had nothing to do with him at all.
Yang Xiao scanned the hall, not a single guard in sight.
"Ahem,"
Yang Xiao cleared his throat softly, walked toward the old man in the center of the hall, and stood in front of the table.
The old man continued leaning in his chair, snoring evenly.
Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, gently tapped the table with his hand,
"Knock, knock, knock,"
The old man still did not react.
Damn, is this old man just here for the free meal?
So, Yang Xiao heavily slapped the table with his hand,
"Bang!"
The old man, who was sleeping, suddenly shook his body, sat straight up, and shouted loudly even before opening his eyes,
"Who? What’s the matter?"
Once he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Xiao standing in front of him.
Yang Xiao smiled slightly,
"Senior, I’d like to buy an Identity Card for Death Castle."
The old man glanced at Yang Xiao, yawned, seeming not fully awake, and said casually,
"Ten thousand Crystal Disks."
Yang Xiao nodded, took out a package from his Space Ring, poured out a pile of Crystal Disks, glanced over them, and used the Spiritual Power Technique to control the Crystal Disks on the table to float in midair.
In the blink of an eye, a heap of crystal-clear little disks piled in midair.
Yang Xiao put away the money bag and swept the remaining Crystal Disks on the table into the bag, then controlled the heap of Crystal Disks in midair to slowly descend onto the table.
"Senior, here, ten thousand Crystal Disks."
The old man looked at Yang Xiao with some surprise and said casually,
"Young man, your Spiritual Power Technique is quite good,
that you can control ten thousand Crystal Disks to float isn’t special, but to use spiritual power to instantly count ten thousand Crystal Disks, now that’s your unique skill."
The old man talked while pulling open a drawer under the table, swept the Crystal Disks from the tabletop into it, then took out a white Jade Token and tossed it to Yang Xiao.
"Kid, drop a drop of blood on the Jade Token, from now on this Identity Jade is your exclusive token, even if someone snatches it, it’s useless for them."
Yang Xiao nodded, used his nail to break his finger, and dropped a bit of blood onto the Jade Token.
As soon as the blood touched the Jade Token, it was instantly absorbed, the token emitted a faint glow, then disappeared.
According to the old man’s explanation, the Jade Token should hang around the neck, and no one in the city would pursue him any longer, and entering and exiting Death Castle wouldn’t require any entry fee in the future.
Yang Xiao hung the token around his neck, glanced at the old man, and couldn’t help asking,
"Senior, how did you not count those Crystal Disks? How do you know there are ten thousand Crystal Disks and aren’t afraid I gave you less?"
The old man looked at Yang Xiao, chuckled, and said,
"Kid, do you know how many years I’ve been sitting here?"
Without waiting for Yang Xiao to respond, the old man answered himself,
"I’ve been sitting here for fifty whole years, fifty years, do you know what that means? Every first-time visitor to the city runs here to pay me ten thousand Crystal Coins,
I’m extremely familiar with the area covered by ten thousand Crystal Disks, how high they stack,
so when you pile ten thousand Crystal Disks in front of me, just a glance tells me if it’s right, the error wouldn’t exceed ten Crystal Disks."
The old man spoke with a face full of pride.
Yang Xiao was stunned, instantly understanding.
It’s just like the oil seller, nothing but skillful practice.
It’s like those who sell meat in the markets; after a long time, if you ask them to cut a pound of meat, it’s usually quite close.
Yang Xiao touched the Identity Jade hanging around his neck and turned to walk out.
"Hey, young fellow, this side."
The old man called out, pointing with his finger at a door behind him.
Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment.
The old man explained,
"The Death Street ahead is the main road for first-time visitors to Death Castle; after paying here, you can only exit through the door behind me, you can’t return to the Death Street."
"Oh, I still have a sword outside, I’ll go get it."
"Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you go through the front door and come back, you’ll have to pay again, ten thousand Crystal Disks; think clearly for yourself."
Yang Xiao froze for a moment, turned and walked to the large door behind the old man, opened it, and walked out.
The old man immediately leaned back in his chair, snoring again, as if his life consisted only of collecting money and sleeping.
Yang Xiao walked out of the Citizen Hall, immediately feeling like he had entered a different world.
The streets here were wide, shops lined up, throngs of people everywhere, presenting a bustling scene, completely different from the atmosphere of the previous Death Avenue,
Yang Xiao found himself almost back in the Earth Village of Purple Origin Star.
Yang Xiao looked back at the closed door behind him, the other side of the door held bloody battles, while this side was a world of peace.
Yang Xiao strolled on the street for a while, found a restaurant, and ordered a few dishes to eat casually.
According to Yang Xiao’s plan, the next step was to find the Witch Star contact in Death Castle.
When Yang Xiao settled the bill, he inquired with the restaurant owner,
"Boss, how do I get to Bone Street?"
The boss glanced at Yang Xiao, stood at the restaurant’s entrance, and pointed ahead,
