Chapter 0318: Ticket controversy

Today's first update: Chapter 318~ Today is my grandpa's death anniversary, I updated early, and there will be two more updates in the evening!

...

"Auntie, give me two teleportation scrolls to Olympus City, and two return scrolls to Yanhuang City, thank you!"

At the door of the store, Sikong Ting showed a self-proclaimed "charming" smile and said to the paunchy store auntie.

The store auntie, who was eating melon seeds, paused, looked around, and then confirmed that Sikong Ting was talking to her.

Immediately, with a slightly ferocious look on her face, she said: "Who are you calling auntie?"

"You...you..." Sikong Ting took two steps back, really scared.

"Bullshit!"

"Olympus City Teleportation Scroll, right? Two C-level Spirit Stones, and I can only sell you one. Yanhuang City Return Scroll, one D-level Spirit Stone per scroll, how much?"

Sikong Ting swallowed his saliva and said, "Isn't it one C-level Spirit Stone per scroll... And when did the purchase limit come?"

"I am willing, what do you care?" The shop aunt said with her nose up.

Sikong Ting was indignant and was about to argue with the shop aunt, but Xu Kun behind him quickly grabbed him.

"Miss sister!"

The shop aunt was startled, looked Xu Kun up and down, and couldn't help licking the corner of her mouth and said, "What a handsome little brother, are you calling me?"

Xu Kun resisted the nausea and showed a professional fake smile and said, "Of course, do you see any other little sister here besides you?"

"Hehehe..." The shop aunt covered her mouth and laughed, but her carrot-like short fingers could not block that bloody mouth at all.

"What do you want, little brother? I'll give you a discount!"

"Two teleportation scrolls to Olympus City, plus ten return scrolls to Yanhuang City, do you think it's okay?"

"Of course, just give me two C-level spirit stones in total!"

"Thank you, little sister!" Xu Kun said, and took out two C-level spirit stones and handed them over.

The shop aunt immediately took out a stack of scrolls, handed over the money with one hand and the goods with the other, but quietly touched Xu Kun's little hand.

Xu Kun was immediately scared and got goose bumps.

Mom, I want to go home, this aunt is going to eat me!

"Little brother, please come again next time. In addition to buying all kinds of things here, you can also learn sewing skills~"

The shop aunt's shoulders were cunning, and her greasy suspender skirt slid down, revealing her self-proclaimed pride.

While talking, she also flirted with Xu Kun. Xu Kun, who was used to seeing beautiful women, felt his stomach churning!

He was so scared that his legs were clamped together, and he quickly said perfunctorily: "Okay, little sister, there will be a chance next time. I have something to do now, so I'll go first!"

"Goodbye, little brother~ Trojan~"

"Go, go, go!" Xu Kun pulled Sikong Ting and left without looking back.

[Ding, your actions have made the store aunt feel good about you. The store aunt's friendliness towards you has reached friendly! ]

Sikong Ting, who was pulled by Xu Kun, said with resentment: "There is such a thing. You have to look at people's dishes when selling things? Am I not handsome?"

Well~ How to say it, the childish Sikong Ting looks like a boy next door. Obviously, the store aunt doesn't like him. Xu Kun, who has a great appearance, is naturally the type that can kill both young and old. How can she not love him!

Xu Kun sighed and said, "When you are in the Jianghu, you can't help yourself!"

As he said that, he handed one of the teleportation scrolls of Olympus City to Sikong Ting. The two tore open the scroll, and the power in it engulfed them. After a dizzy spin, they reappeared in a city that was completely different from the Yanhuang City!

"We are both human beings, but the cultural environment is so different?" It was the first time that Xu Kun came into contact with the architectural style outside the Jiangnan Base City, and he was a little surprised.

The buildings here are generally tall, and they are often supported by huge pillars.

Many towering buildings, with the changes in the terrain, extend from low to high, all the way to the center. The towering temples that can be seen from a very far distance, and the surrounding buildings are all like they were built to protect the center!

Sikong Ting smiled. As a direct descendant of the Sikong family, he obviously has more knowledge in this regard.

"The architectural style of Olympus City was built in accordance with the Homeric civilization thousands of years ago!"

"Although they are all human races, the Mediterranean base cities that worship the king of gods maintain a high degree of autonomy. Even when Lord Tianyan was in power, he only had the power to make decisions on major matters. The specific affairs of the major base cities were still handled by local personnel, and outsiders were not allowed to interfere!"

"Similarly, this Olympus City was also built by the ancestors of this part of the human race in accordance with the traditional style. According to local conditions, the materials used for construction here are mostly stone and wood, and the architectural style is a beam-column system!"

Xu Kun nodded and learned humbly.

After briefly appreciating the architectural style of Olympus City, Xu Kun downloaded a local map. According to the instructions on the map, the two went to the location of the Thunder Swamp!

"Roar, so many people!" Sikong Ting said in surprise.

The Thunder Swamp Secret Realm is located in a large forest in the center of the city. When the two arrived, there was already constant noise here.

"As the most symbolic secret realm in Olympus City, it is naturally more popular, but most people are not qualified to enter this secret realm!" Xu Kun said with a smile.

The fact is the same as he said. Although there are so many people here, most of them are looking for a team on the periphery!

This group of people basically cannot meet the three conditions for entering the Thunder Swamp. They want to hug their thighs and find an idle lightning powerhouse to hang out in the secret realm!

But it's not that easy!

I passed by the crowd of people looking for thighs and went inside. I found that the people who had already formed a team actually still needed to queue up.

"Do we have to queue up to enter the secret realm?" Xu Kun looked at Sikong Ting and asked.

Sikong Ting shook his head: "I've never heard of it. Isn't there an unlimited number of teams in the secret realm?"

"Let's go over and have a look!"

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the two follow the team forward.

After a while, I heard a conflict in front.

Xu Kun habitually used his metal bracelet to translate the other person's language.

"Why do you have to pay the entrance fee to enter the secret realm? There has never been such a rule!"

"My rules are rules. If you don't want to pay the ticket price, then leave, or meet another condition!"

"Fuck your grandma, is your other condition reasonable? We have just entered the tenth level, who has time to learn other life skills!"

"Then get out!"

"Damn it, do you know who I am? I am..."

"I don't care who you are, this order was given by Caesar himself. No matter how powerful your family is, can it be as powerful as Caesar?"

The person who spoke immediately blushed: "But the ticket fee is too expensive!"

"It's too expensive. That's easy. Go ask your family for it!"

…

"Ticket fee?" Sikong Ting was stunned.

This is really a knife in the ass, it opened my eyes!

The secret realms left by the ancestors of the human race, such as Thunder Swamp, have always been the common resources of the human race. As long as they meet the entry requirements, they can enter freely. If there is a fee, it will only be partially obtained after the trialists have gained something in the secret realm. The attribute spirit is dedicated to the secret realm opener!

I have never heard of, or even heard of, anyone who has to pay the entrance fee before entering the secret realm!

Absolutely ridiculous!

And it seems that the ticket fee to enter the Thunder Swamp is not cheap. Some of the trialists who met the entry requirements were repelled by the high ticket fee!

The people responsible for collecting ticket fees have high status and strength. The key is that they have the endorsement of a big boss behind them, so they can be confident!

The few who wanted to use their family background to force them to let go were all shocked by the unity!

Some people said angrily: "The worst I can do is not clean Thunder Swamp anymore, it will be the same if I change to a secret realm, bah, what the hell!"

The team responsible for collecting admission fees smiled and said: "Boy, listen carefully. From today on, not only Thunder Swamp will charge admission fees, but all secret areas in Olympus City will have dedicated people to charge fees, and each one will charge admission fees." The entrance fee to the secret realm is the same. If you don’t pay here, it will be the same elsewhere!”

The man who cursed immediately showed an angry look, but his elbow couldn't twist his thigh, so he could only swallow his anger!

Seeing this, the rest of the people who could afford the entrance fee held their noses and paid for it. That person was right. If you want to visit the thunder-type secret realm, Thunder Swamp is definitely the first choice!

Not to mention that other secret places are not as good as Thunder Swamp, and the entrance fee is the same, so there is no need to waste your time!

Complaints abounded, and those who could afford the ticket fees went in. Those who couldn't afford the sky-high ticket fees had no choice but to leave, probably trying to find a way to go to other main cities to explore secret realms!

Xu Kun and Sikong Ting at the back of the team did not speak. Through observation, they also discovered that the so-called ticket fee actually required a B-level spiritual stone!

For these trialists who have just entered level 10 and level 0, it is indeed a sky-high price.

"Boss, we..."

"Pay the fee obediently. After all, this is not our Chinese clan's territory!" Xu Kun said calmly.

Sikong Ting nodded. This fee was nothing to the two of them.

Soon, it was their turn.

The person responsible for collecting the ticket fees was a left-behind person similar to Yue Yun from Yanhuang City. The leader looked at the appearance of Xu Kun and the two, and there was a clear difference in appearance from the trialists in Olympus City.

"Which main city are you from?" the leader asked.

"Coming from Yanhuang City!"

"Chinese clan?"

"right!"

"For the original residents of Olympus City, the entrance fee is one B-level spiritual stone. For you, you need to pay two!"

"Why!" Sikong Ting couldn't bear it anymore.

The other party looked at Sikong Ting indifferently: "If you can't pay, go back to your Yanhuang City!"

Xu Kun stopped Sikong Ting's next words and glanced at the leader indifferently: "If you ask more, aren't you afraid of being denounced by the entire human race if you charge a fee in the secret realm?"

The other party felt a little uncomfortable with Xu Kun's eyes. He took a step back and said, "It depends on who gave the order. Do you think they dare to resist?"

The leader pointed his finger at those testers who could not afford the fees and could only leave silently.

"I heard it. What you just said was Caesar. If you are right, he should be a powerful emperor, right?"

"You know and you still ask?"

"But Thunder Swamp is a secret realm left by the King of Gods. Even that Emperor Caesar dares to offend the King of Gods?"

"Hahaha, Chinese people, you asked a very stupid question. Emperor Caesar is the disciple of the King of Gods in Blue Star. Do you think the King of Gods will blame him for this?"

Xu Kun understood that Caesar was just an excuse. The real order was to let Thunder Swamp... Oh no, it was the King of Gods Zeus who charged the admission fee to the secret realm of Olympus City!

But as the lord of the human race, does he need, or care about the mere spirit stones collected as entrance fees?

"I understand, but I just heard that in addition to paying the entrance fee, there is another way to enter the Thunder Swamp. Can you tell me what this way is?"

Xu Kun asked slowly.

"This method is not difficult, and even if you are Chinese people, you are treated equally. That is, one of you needs to master the casting technique and show your casting hammer, so that you can enter!"

"No other requirements?" Xu Kun narrowed his eyes.

"No, but remember, the casting technique you master must be at least E-level!" The leader answered seriously.

Xu Kun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

"Huaxia people, how about it, can you meet this condition? If not, just pay the ticket fee or leave here!"

Xu Kun smiled and said indifferently: "Sorry, I didn't have time to learn casting, but I have spirit stones, so I'll treat it as a tribute to Lord Caesar!"

As he said, Xu Kun took out two B-level spirit stones and handed them to the leader.

The leader raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the two were so generous.

But for those who paid the ticket fee, they would not deliberately make things difficult and let them go immediately.

After Xu Kun and the other two entered as the last wave, the other soldiers also surrounded them: "Boss, is this income really all ours?"

"Of course!" As he said, the leader took out some low-level spirit stone fragments from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.

As for the B-level spirit stones obtained by means similar to "extortion", they all belonged to him!

"The ticket fee is just a small part. If we can find a target that meets Lord Caesar's requirements, each of us can get enough wealth for a lifetime. Unfortunately, almost everyone has entered, but the target has not been found. I don't know if there are any discoveries at other secret entrances!"

"Boss, 10th level 0, wanting to master E-level casting, this is impossible, why would Lord Caesar let us find such an impossible target?"

"Shut up, what do you know? Do you and I need to guess what the big guys do?"

...

Walking into the depths of the forest, Sikong Ting said unhappily: "Boss, why bother to be polite with them? These people are too presumptuous. They blatantly charge for public resources. If it were me, I would have to teach them a lesson!"

As a child of the Sikong family, especially now that he has become the future successor of the Sikong family, he doesn't need to look at the face of Caesar the Great.

Xu Kun had a gloomy face all the way, and he paused when he heard Sikong Ting's words.

"Do you think their purpose is to charge?"

"What else?"

Xu Kun shook his head: "Another way to enter the secret realm without paying is their real purpose!"

"You mean, that Caesar is looking for someone who can master the E-level casting technique at level 10?"

"Not Caesar, to be precise, it's the king of the gods!"

Sikong Ting pursed his lips: "Level 10, level 0, who has the time to learn casting, and it's even more impossible to advance to E-level casting in such a short time. I think they obviously want to charge, and they deliberately give a way that can't be free!"

"Who said it's impossible?" Xu Kun raised his eyebrows.

Sikong Ting opened his mouth, but Xu Kun had already stepped in.

Sikong Ting, who is not stupid, looked at Xu Kun's back, as if he thought of something.

The person they are looking for... is Xu Kun?

"Boss, wait for me!"
