"Excuse me, I want to know how to find the friend who came before me." Wang Zhong was still worried about Grai and the others. The Holy City had sent a total of 156 people over the past two years, but now, there were only 30 or so people with accurate information. There was no news from Aiolos, Mu Zi, Grai, and the others. In the Star Alliance, there was no convenient communication method like the Skylink.
The elf girl looked at Wang Zhong with a mocking look on her face. "This isn't the missing people's finding center. Think about how you're going to survive." After saying that, she ignored them.
Wang Zhong shook his head. It seemed that the people of the Star Alliance were rather unfriendly. However, this was within his expectations. He had done his homework before this. Although Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea were very impressive, he had never enjoyed such treatment since he was young. Thus, he was rather familiar with the lives of the lower class.
When they walked out of the teleportation field, everyone's emotions were somewhat complicated. The lofty Heavenly Soul experts seemed to have suddenly sensed the feeling of being at the bottom when they arrived here. They could sense that the future would be filled with difficulties. However, after all, they were over ten Heavenly Souls. No matter how strong they were, as long as they could survive the minor Heavenly Calamity, it proved that their dao hearts were firm. Very quickly, they suppressed the depression and unhappiness in their hearts.
Outside the transmission array was a large road paved with blue crystals. It extended and twisted, leading to a bizarre and dazzling region in the distance. Unlike some of the illusions in the Hyperdimension, everything here was real. In fact, there were even some masters who had created these illusions.
The Star Alliance possessed the most powerful cultivation resources, including technological civilizations. As the highest-leveled machinery civilization in the Fifth Dimension, they were only a level-7 civilization in the Star Alliance. They were a metal civilization. Simply put, they had the qualifications to enter the Star Alliance after climbing to the peak of the technological tree. In the Star Alliance, level-7 and level-8 civilizations were considered nobles. However, it was a pity that the Machinery race could not cultivate and could only exist as the core strength of the Star Alliance. Of course, their special characteristics were an indispensable part of the Star Alliance. The Machinery race was a civilization that maintained the Star Alliance. Legend had it that one of the 22 level-9 civilizations that had disappeared should be a machinery civilization. They could cultivate the Machinery Heart, but that was a special case and had not appeared for tens of thousands of years.
Everything in sight — the snails that were dozens of meters tall, the flying objects, the humming aircraft, and the shops that looked like chimneys with flames — subverted everyone's recognition. All kinds of noisy languages entered their ears and were converted into languages that humans could understand. Everyone felt like they were Granny Liu who had entered a grand view garden.
"I didn't expect us to really become country bumpkins." Wales smiled and said, "Since the Star Alliance has made no arrangements for us, what are your plans now?"
"For us, cultivation is the first priority. Let's find a way to adapt to the environment here and overcome the gravity here." A young Heavenly Soul said, "I feel that my legs are as heavy as lead, and I can't absorb the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. If I can't adapt to this, I can't cultivate."
This was the truth. Everyone had a foundation in cultivation. In this kind of gravitational environment, even if they did not cultivate for the time being, as long as their bodies could slowly adapt to the environment, they felt that their bodies would definitely become stronger by several levels. Their bodies would become stronger, and their endurance would naturally become stronger. Slowly, they would be able to absorb the extremely rich spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. This was the first step for everyone to take. However, this would probably require a large amount of time. With just the dozen or so Star Coins in their pockets, it was obvious that they would not be able to last until then. Would it really be like what the toad had said? A bunch of Heavenly Soul experts would go and work?
"Hey! You guys! "A rude voice rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw a group of humanoid creatures surrounding the crystal road. They looked similar to humans, but some of them had horns on their heads, and some of them had red skin. Without exception, they were all abnormally tall and were at least three meters tall. The leader's entire body was red, and his muscles were abnormally sturdy. He waved at everyone and shouted, "New immigrants? Do you want to find a job? Come here, come here! "
It was difficult for a man to be rich, but it was difficult for a man to be poor. When the 10 or so Heavenly Souls walked out of the transmission area, they had already understood this. They were not too resistant to work. Furthermore, the other party had taken the initiative. It was not wrong to understand the situation.
"Let's go and take a look."
When he saw everyone walk over, the red-skinned man introduced them. The job was very simple. They were porters from the Starship Company. They were mainly responsible for helping to load and unload the goods. They had also taken out relatively complete procedures and signed contracts.
The Star Alliance contract was a necessary procedure for some transactions in the Star Alliance. Everyone looked at it carefully for a while but did not find any loopholes in the contract. After all, they had official immigrant status. It was basically impossible for them to be captured as slaves. However, the salary was too low. Other than food and lodging, they were only paid two Star Coins every month.
"Even new immigrants should have heard of the Starship Company!" The red-skinned man was very confident. He smiled and said, "It is one of the 10 economic pillars of the Star Alliance. It is regular and stable! I'm only telling you so much because you are new immigrants. Don't think that this bit of pay is low, but it is safe! If you want to go to those who shout 100 Star Coins a month, nine out of ten of them are liars. There is no room for discussion if they scam you. Even if they sell you, you will still help them count their money!
"Furthermore, the Starship Company's office is in Area C28. Although that area is rather remote, it is far from the Heavenly River. The gravity and spiritual pressure there are also relatively low. It is more suitable for weak-looking immigrants like you to adapt to it. This will be very helpful for you."
The Starship Company was mainly engaged in the transportation industry. They transported people and goods. They were said to be able to spread the transportation network to every corner of the Fifth Dimension. They were powerful. This was a golden signboard. Furthermore, among the trading partners in the Holy City over the past two years, the Starship Company was one of the more reliable ones. Relatively speaking, their transactions were rather fair. They had a rather good reputation among the higher-ups in the Holy City. They were reliable and safe.
As for the salary being too low … This group of people had never thought that they would really be porters for the rest of their lives. However, this was just a temporary transition. They would adapt to the environment in the divine territory. Food and lodging were provided, and they did not have to worry about survival for the time being. Salary was not within their consideration for now. On the contrary, just like what the red-skinned man had said, if the salary was really high, everyone would feel that there was a scam involved.
This group of Heavenly Souls was rather straightforward. The contract was written very clearly in black and white, and it was also stamped with the three-dimensional seal of the Starship Company. There was no scam. The others very quickly made a decision. Although a few of them had other thoughts, when they considered that they would be able to take care of each other if they stayed together, they did not insist. Only Wang Zhong remained.
"I'm not going. I'm going to look for someone." Wang Zhong looked at the information that the Patriarch Society had given him. It recorded over 30 people who were still in contact with him until last year. Grai was among them. Furthermore, he was in this region — — the Catanlyke District. When translated into human language, it meant 'dressing up and walking at night'.
The red-skinned man looked at him with a faint smile. "Little fellow, don't think that it's easy to make a living here. The Starship Company does not recruit people often. Typically, we will not look for weak races like you. You're not going? If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one. "
Wang Zhong did not comment. He simply smiled and bade farewell to everyone. "If there's a chance, I will go to the Starship Company branch in the Ryan District to look for you."
"Alright! Then, Wang Zhong, be careful. When you find a place to stay, get someone to bring us a message. Everyone should keep in contact. We are all from the Holy City. Regardless of what happens, we have to work together, "said Zhang Guangbei, who was the oldest among the dozen or so people.
He came from Uncle Zhang's family and was already 36 years old this year. He was somewhat related to Uncle Zhang and had heard Uncle Zhang's advice. Although he did not take it seriously, there was no harm in being polite.
"Brother Guangbei, Brother Karun, and everyone else, take care!"
"Take care!"
It was said that only level-9 civilizations could directly enter this place. Other civilizations had to reach a certain level of strength or have a special identity before they could enter. The Heavenly River flowed from the Heaven. There was no doubt that the Heaven had the best resources. At the same time, there were only a few tens of millions of people. Meanwhile, in the Land, which was about the same size, there were hundreds of millions of civilizations. Even the rules of the Star Alliance were a little chaotic due to the impact of countless civilizations. Various races lived together. With the Heavenly River in the center of the entire underground region as the center, there were hundreds of large and small regions surrounding the Heavenly River. The closer one was to the Heavenly River, the denser the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth was. The density of people living there was also very high. Every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and the density of people living there decreased as they moved further away from the Heavenly River.
The closer one was to the Heavenly River, the denser the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. Hundreds of large and small regions surrounded the Heavenly River. The closer one was to the Heavenly River, the denser the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. The closer one was to the Heavenly River, the denser the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. The denser the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth was.
The Catanlyke District was located in the middle, and the middle was the place where the competition was the most intense. Various races mingled here. After all, this was a place that connected the previous to the next. The composite civilizations also created a mixture of buildings. There were steel buildings that were hundreds of stories tall, and there were massive transparent bridges that flew across the sky. They emitted the aura of various highly developed civilizations. However, there were also strange and primitive treehouses. When Wang Zhong walked into the Catanlyke District, he saw a massive treehouse that was 40 to 50 meters tall standing beside a steel building. It was actually alive, and the branches were decorated with colorful lights. It waved at everyone who walked into this area. "Welcome to the Famous Tree House. We provide the best accommodation. The Famous Tree House will serve you wholeheartedly!"
He felt that the energy of this thing was probably a level-9 existence on Earth … However, it was actually a hotel here! Wang Zhong was speechless. What kind of feeling did it feel like to live in the body of a living tree person? He looked at it curiously. The price was slightly comical. The cheapest affordable room for one night cost 10 Star Coins …
Alright, in any case, he just wanted to take a look. The poor did not have the right to seek novelty. Lao Wang was filled with interest towards this world that was said to be a gathering place for the top races in the Fifth Dimension. He was not disappointed. In fact, it exceeded his expectations.
The divine territory was also divided into day and night, but there was no sun or moon. The natural source of light in the entire divine territory came from the Heavenly River. Furthermore, the Heavenly River would have a slow flow period of over 10 hours every day. During this period, the Heavenly River would not emit any light. This was the so-called night.
At that moment, it was already night time. However, since it was known as a city that dressed up for night travel, the Catanlyke District was still very lively at night. According to the address provided by the Patriarch Society, Wang Zhong went to an alchemy shop on Causeway Street. It was said that Grai worked here. Grai was not a pampered person, but Wang Zhong was still slightly expectant. It had been over two years. He did not know how Grai had changed. With his intelligence, it should be very easy for him to adapt to this kind of environment.
"What? Looking for someone? What Grai? " The boss was a merman with a long beard. He was fat and wore a triangular hat. When he heard that Wang Zhong was looking for someone, his initial enthusiasm instantly turned into impatience. "There is no such person! Get lost! "
This was a very unfriendly attitude, but Wang Zhong was slightly used to it. The appearance of humans was very similar to the four level-9 civilizations in the Star Alliance. They were called celestials, and civilizations that were similar to them were called celestialoids. However, this was not very helpful to humans. Simply speaking, it was like humans seeing a monkey that looked very much like a human. Perhaps they would be interested in placing it at the door to welcome guests and act cool, but it was useless.
Wang Zhong's attitude was very good. He had come here to look for Grai. When he saw that the other party was not a race with a particularly violent temper, he patiently asked. The merman boss was probably worried that Wang Zhong's constant pestering would affect his business. In the end, he said, "I can change eight workers here every month. Who the hell would remember that Grai you mentioned! Even if I did, it was at least a few months ago. I have no impression of him at all! Where did he go? How would I know where the untouchables that I chased away went? Hmph, you barbarians from low-leveled civilizations have no brains or strength. You might be begging somewhere in the Catanlyke District! Alright, alright. I have said what I need to say. Hurry up and get lost. If you don't, I will get someone to throw you out! "
At the end of the street, Wang Zhong took a deep breath and looked at this flourishing and extremely fantastical world. It was as if his dream had been reflected into reality, but there was not a single trace of humanity. The situation was worse than what the Patriarch Society had said. What he saw now was an orderly side. In such a complicated settlement of civilizations, Wang Zhong was definitely not careful. There was only order and no chaos.
He was not very worried about the situation of Grai and the others. Regardless of whether it was Grai, Mu Zi, or Aiolos, they were all true experts. It seemed like he would not be able to find them in a short period of time. Next, he had to face this world and how to survive.
He turned around and looked at the arrogant merman boss. His beard was flying everywhere, and he still had a disdainful look in his eyes from afar. One day, he would let all the races in this place know how powerful humans were!
Using an old saying that had been passed down in Tianjing for thousands of years, it was better to be a noble than a noble!
Communication technology was obviously not a problem for the divine territory. There were many ways, but humans did not have the qualifications to participate in this. As a result, the members who entered did not have fixed ways to contact each other. If they wanted to use the "network" in the divine territory, they had to pay a relatively high fee. Typically, civilizations below level-6 would not choose to use it as a whole. Only the wealthier civilizations would choose this option. In the divine territory, resources were concentrated in a small number of groups. As a level-4 civilization, there was no need to even think about the Earth. Furthermore, there were currently no individuals who had the qualifications to participate in this.
Wang Zhong did not have any plans to bite off more than he could chew for now. Like most of the new immigrants, he had to survive first and find a stable place to settle down. When he completely adapted to the gravitational spiritual influence environment here, he would slowly talk about increasing his strength.
He had thought that finding a job would not be particularly difficult. This was also the reason why he had rejected the offer from the Starship Company. If Grai and the others could survive here, there was no reason why he could not. However, after Lao Wang strolled around the Catanlyke District for a few days, he realized that this matter was not that simple.
As a flourishing district, there were many job opportunities in the Catanlyke District. Furthermore, whenever a place needed manpower, they would feel that Wang Zhong was okay at first glance. His appearance as a celestialoid gave him extra points. However, when they saw his identity and information, their attitudes immediately changed greatly. When they actually started working …
Pa pa pa!
The door was closed!
Other than their appearance, humans were completely lacking in terms of physical strength. As for intelligence … How could a level-4 civilization talk about intelligence with them?
Furthermore, pretentious occupations were very popular. Compared to humans, people were more willing to use elves and half-elves. When they boasted, they could even say that they were the same family as the elemental race from a level-9 civilization 80,000 years ago.
Wang Zhong was not picky about other jobs, but as long as it was a technical job, even the most professional airship engineer or alchemist master in the Holy City would only be an apprentice at most. Selling labor? Wang Zhong had not completely adapted to the gravity here. There would not be any problems when he moved normally, but he could not compare to those special races with strong bodies when it came to heavy work.
The service industry … He had thought that in the divine territory, this was an amalgamation of high-leveled civilizations that had led for countless years. Would it be more high-end? In reality, it was the exact opposite. The desires and ambitions here were even greater, and the primitive industries that naturally grew were more developed.
With the appearance of a celestialoid, as long as he did not reveal his identity, he would be looked up to by others. However, the problem was, could he do this job … In a bar with bright lights, Wang Zhong had almost signed a contract. In the end, he saw a fat female toad pressing a tall and slender handsome man who was serving wine onto the sofa. His face was flushed red from the pressure, and his eyes rolled back. His large tongue drooled as he stuck his saliva in. At the same time, he was eating from his bowl and looking at the pot. The female toad even threw a flirtatious glance at Lao Wang in the distance!
The next second, Lao Wang ran away and decisively rejected this job that was the only one that was willing to give him a chance. Damn, this was simply hell. It was even more terrifying than when he had been in Tianjing back then. Back then, he had thought that Ma Dong was worrying for nothing. Now, when he touched the Star Coins in his pocket, he could not help but sigh.
One had to keep a low profile and never act pretentious. There was nothing wrong with not having money!
