nThe city built at the bottom of the volcano was very weird. Wei Huo and the others thought that this was a city that surpassed their understanding. They had never thought that a city could be built like this.

nXiao Liang said, “The world is filled with many unknown things. Finding these unknown things is very interesting. The premise is that if one is strong enough, one cannot die when discovering the unknown.”

nThe others agreed. Wei Huo said, “If we replaced the magma with a river and the black ship with an ordinary ship, it would look like Venice.”

nXiao Liang nodded in agreement.

nLu Qiqi asked Wei Huo, “What’s Venice like?”

nWei Huo gave Lu Qiqi a detailed description. “Venice is a city built on water. People can only rely on boats when they travel. The scenery there is very nice.”

nLu Qiqi asked, “Have you been there?”

nWei Huo shook his head. “No. Unfortunately, Venice might have disappeared in the long river of history. Its story might have disappeared as well. Not many people know about its existence.”

nTime was a terrifying means that could destroy everything.

nEveryone continued touring the city. They were actively searching for the city’s library. Unfortunately, they did not even see a bookstore after wandering around for a long time, let alone a library.

nThe golden armor said, “In such high temperatures, the Atlanteans shouldn’t use books to record knowledge.”

nThe Prime Minister said, “However, any civilization should record their knowledge in a medium others can use to learn. Otherwise, the civilization will not be passed down.”

nXiao Liang sighed. “The technology level of this city is too high. So far, we haven’t even found the entrance to these houses. How should we enter?”

nLu Qiqi said domineeringly, “Catch an Atlantean and ask them.”

nAs soon as she said that, the Prime Minister Black Dragon attacked. He grabbed a busy-looking Atlantean by the side of the road. The group hid in an empty place and surrounded the Atlantean.

nThe Atlantean was confused. What was he doing there?

nHe asked loudly, “Do you know who I am?”

nEveryone was a little surprised. Could they have caught a big shot?

nThe Atlantean added, “Listen to me, every minute you delay me will cost 300,000 Magma Coins. You can’t afford it. You better let me go before I get angry!”

nThe golden armor asked curiously, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”

nThe Atlantean was a little surprised by the talking armor, yet he still said confidently, “You would dare kill me? Alright, come and kill me. I’m very valuable. If you kill me, you will have to pay at least 150 million Magma Coins.”

nEveryone was curious about the fact that this Atlantean kept talking about money.

nWei Huo took a step forward and asked roughly, “Do you want money or your life?”

nThe Atlantean exclaimed, “You… You guys are robbers! I’m telling you, you can kill me, but it’s impossible for you to have my money!”

nXiao Liang said curiously, “The values of the Atlanteans seem to be different from ours!”

nThe Atlantean frowned. “Don’t act crazy. You’ve triggered three economic laws. You’d better let me go and give me financial compensation. Otherwise, I’ll sue you!”

nLu Qiqi said domineeringly, “That’s too slow. Search his soul!”

nWei Huo said, “Let me do it.”

nHis aura of nirvanic extermination had already drilled the male Atlantean’s head. Soon, Wei Huo had access to his knowledge.

nAfter he searched through all the knowledge, the Atlantean fainted. Wei Huo’s method was brilliant. The Atlantean had not been harmed. Everyone set the Atlantean aside and continued moving forward.

nWei Huo sorted out the knowledge carefully and compressed it. He then transmitted it to the other people’s brains through Divine Sense transmission. The others were also Legendary creatures. They quickly uncompressed the compressed information and read the knowledge inside.

nAfter reading a portion of it, Xiao Liang said in shock, “I see. This underwater world is actually a world that values money. All Atlanteans only worship one thing—money!”

nWei Huo said, “It can be said that money is the highest standard they pursue. Although they also have laws and morals, they are slaves to money.”

nThe golden armor looked at the black boat flowing in the magma and said, “No wonder they were in such a hurry. They were in a hurry to earn money!”

nThey checked the memories of the Atlantean carefully. Xiao Liang said, “No wonder we couldn’t find a library. There’s no library here. There’s only a knowledge sales center. One has to pay to obtain knowledge.”

nWei Huo looked around and said, “I didn’t expect to be charged for everything I do here. I even have to pay for walking, breathing, and sleeping.”

nThis city was very weird. The ruler had set these rules. In this city, no matter what one did, one had to pay. One had to eat, drink, pee, walk, sleep, and even breathe by paying.

nA chip was implanted behind each Atlantean’s neck. The chip’s technological content was very high, and the Atlanteans could not retrieve it with their own ability. No matter what the Atlanteans did, the chip would send a message to the terminal.

nEvery Atlantean would be connected to an account since they were born. All the money they earned would be stored in this account. However, because they were bound to the account, the corresponding fees would be deducted for every breath and every step they took.

nIt was indeed true that one could not do anything without money.

nOf course, the Atlanteans could choose to leave the city and head to other cheaper cities. However, unless they did not want to live in this city, they would have to pay for everything they did.

nIt was no wonder that the Atlantean was so anxious. Every word he said cost him a fee. If he was stopped by five people for no reason, he would lose a lot of money.

n“What a weird city,” the Prime Minister said. “As long as one is strong enough, one can have whatever one wants. Why work so hard to earn money for the ruler of the city?”

nHe was right. No matter how hard ordinary people worked, they were actually earning money for the city’s ruler, as they had to pay no matter what they did. However, they could not leave this city because they could earn more money there.

nThis was a cycle one could not escape from. However, if one wanted to possess powerful strength like Wei Huo and the others, one could naturally transcend everything.

nWei Huo said, “It seems like we can’t buy a ship. If we want one, we can only snatch it.”
