Chapter 135: News of Night Star City
The lord of Luo City is naturally surnamed Luo, and the fact that he can build a castle not far from Sword City shows his great strength. A castle cannot be developed solely by the lord's strong power, many related policies must be implemented perfectly, and being able to make Luo City as a whole strong, indicates that the management system is quite standardized.
Because of the management system, Ye Chen and others got into some trouble. The unconscious Hua Feng wanted to go back, and as someone who was not used to abandoning his companions, Ye Chen naturally would not refuse Hua Feng's request.
At that time, I didn't think it would be so troublesome. It wasn't until I was walking on the road that I thought about my own identity as a vagrant. What kind of person is a vagrant? That's someone who has been cancelled from credit cards, an existence not recognized by the city.
When Ye Chen told Wu Hen about this matter, Wu Hen was shocked. He didn't expect that Ye Chen would be a drifter. Drifters were either extremely cruel or timid and weak, but Ye Chen had neither of these qualities.
Wu Hen furrowed his brow, he had a credit card and was from Los Angeles, so there shouldn't be any issues. Huafeng and Mudo also wouldn't have any problems, even if the two of them were unconscious, as long as they had a credit card it would be fine.
"Where are you from?" Wu Hen asked with a furrowed brow.
"The Night Star City." Ye Chen thought of the city he was in, his expression a mixture of gloom and melancholy. He should have been with the city, but for the sake of his little sister, Ye Chen chose to flee from the war. Although he didn't show it, deep down, he felt a profound sense of regret. A warrior should die on the battlefield, defending his home and country, yet he had become a deserter!
"That Night Star City occupied by the demon beast?" Wuhen asked with an unusual expression.
"En." Yedu nodded slightly dejectedly and murmured a sound of agreement. He didn't notice Wujin's unusual expression.
"Too good!" Wu Hen said with a loud laugh.
"What's so funny?" Looking at Wu Hen's big smile, Ye Chen's mood was somewhat irritated. Was it that funny that his own city was broken through by the demon beast? Or was it that funny that he became a wanderer? His eyes stared at Wu Hen with some malice.
"Cough, cough..." Seeing Ye Chen's murderous gaze, Wu Hen realized something was off and quickly cleared his throat, "Sorry, I wasn't laughing at you!" He then asked in surprise, "Don't you know what happened?"
Ye Chen was inexplicably asked by Mo Yan with no trace, "What's up?"
"When the Night City was breached, many people escaped, including the famous Mingyue of the Ming family, Huaxingming of the Hua family, and Chenxi of the Chen family... These people showed great prowess in battle against the demonic beasts, especially Mingyue, who wielded a long whip with divine skill, as if she were a celestial maiden descended to earth, effortlessly slaying the demonic beasts with subtle yet deadly precision." As he spoke of Mingyue, Wuhuo's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his words spilled out in fervent admiration.
"Alright, alright, what's next?" Ye Chen listened to Wu Hen's account of the events in Night Star City, perking up his ears and listening intently. Ye Chen knew that the city had been breached, but he didn't care if anyone had escaped or not. What he cared about was only his birthplace. The city being breached also shattered his sense of belonging. However, upon hearing Ming Yue's name, Ye Chen felt a familiar sensation. That clever woman should have escaped this disaster as well, after all, she still had that black leather book.
"A guy who doesn't understand romance." Wu Hen rolled his eyes and continued, "Not just Ming Yue, but many others have also shown extraordinary strength in this disaster. Even I am envious. Night Star City actually has so many talented people, including some younger than me with greater strength. Maybe that's why the heavens are jealous, leading to those demonic beasts attacking the city."
Seeing the murderous glint in Ye Chen's eyes again, Wu Hen smiled wryly. This was originally a true story, and he had only added some embellishments and wild imagination. Was he really that angry? It was uncalled for.
However, under Ye Chen's gaze, Wu Hen still decided to speak the truth, "Well, those young men didn't deal with top-level demon beasts. Demon beasts above level 7 were handled by specialized personnel. In that battle at Night Star City, the losses were severe, and most of the high-ranking strongmen were killed or wounded. The demon beasts also suffered heavy losses. But these peers showed extraordinary abilities, killing their way out of the encirclement and escaping from the ascension."
He paused for a moment and continued, "These young people brought some members of their families to escape the siege of the monster, do you know why I said it was too good? Because many of these people didn't have credit cards either, they were also the vagrants you mentioned."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up in front of him, "You're saying..."
"Yes, as long as they are people from Night Star City, even if they don't have an ID card, vagrants can still enter the city." Wu Hen said affirmatively.
"There are many restrictions, aren't there?" Ye Chen was somewhat excited, but his rationality told him that even if the people of Night Star City could enter Star City, there would be many restrictions. After all, a perfect city's rules couldn't just let someone pretend to be from Night Star City and gain an identity within the city.
"There aren't many, actually. As long as someone from Nightstar City can vouch for it, that's enough. Of course, by 'someone from Nightstar City', I mean those famous people, like Mingyue, Huaxingming, Chen Xi and the others." Wuhen said.
"How difficult would it be if we didn't know these people and they didn't vouch for us, wouldn't that mean we can't enter the city?" Yedu thought for a moment before saying.
"Of course, if you don't know these people, then that's just your bad luck." Wu Hen said with a smile.
Looking at his carefree and smiling appearance, Ye Chen suddenly stopped worrying, "Look at you like that, so you know the person?"
"I'm the one, the future thief, in this world only I don't know others, how can others not know me? In this Luocheng, there's a celebrity from Yexing City, as long as I make a move, I guarantee that person will come out to prove you're from Yexing City, and maybe even help you get a Luocheng ID card." Wuheng Haoqing said with great emotion.
"Alright, stop boasting and get going. Since you know me, hurry up and help me with this." Ye Chen said irritably.
"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, brother, remember that I'm not your underling. Don't always use a commanding tone when speaking to the future thief." Wu Hen said with an unpleasant tone.
"Alright, and don't use that tattered ancient book to threaten me again. Even with the help of Little Panda, the future thief will definitely be able to steal it!" Wu Hen emphasized.
Ye Chen felt a bit suffocated after hearing Wu Hen's words. All along, Ye Chen had been using the secret book in his arms to coerce Wu Hen. If Wu Hen was really not interested in these things, then Ye Chen really didn't know what to do.
"Heh heh, if you hand over the secret manual in your possession, aside from the Taixu Sword Technique, I'll guarantee to help you with this matter!" Wuyin said with a sly smile.
"Do you want the secret recipe? You can only think of a way yourself. If you want to threaten me, there's no door for you to enter. Are you going to help or not? If not, then forget it, I'll just not enter the city." Ye Chen said irritably to Wuheng, although he also wanted to enter the city and get an ID card, which would be much more convenient, but it wouldn't be of great help for entering the Sword City he desired.
"Damn it, have you gotten so used to being a vagabond that you don't even want to enter the city and become a city dweller?" Wuhen cursed loudly.
