Business at selling snacks was not very good. Almost no one was interested. Wei Huo had planned on leaving, but Chen Xuanyue stopped.
"I feel the power of delicacies," Chen Xuanyue said to a bag of frozen spicy strips.
Soon, Chen Xuanyue took a fancy to a bag of potato chips. She said, "This delicacy is restless. It seems like it wants to be eaten by me."
Wei Huo suddenly felt that coming to the mall had been a mistake. There was a lot of food in the mall, and some restaurants had been set up.
"Why does it look so depressed? Has it been too long since anyone paid attention to it?" Chen Xuanyue looked at a bottle of Coke.
Wei Huo was speechless.
Wei Huo found a deserted place and released Wei Sha. He then told her, "Take the foodie around here. Buy her whatever she wants to eat, but ask her to find precious and rare goods." Wei Sha nodded and said, "Wei Sha said," That's right.
Wei Sha nodded and went shopping with Chen Xuanyue.
Wei Huo got the roc to pull the coffin into the backyard of the shop in Maple Leaf Camp. The shop was huge, and there was a small backyard behind it. Dogs and self-exploding sheep were resting there.
Then, Wei Huo told Su Xiaoyu, "Are there any administrative areas in District C7?"
He was curious about the way the city was managed.
Su Xiaoyu was a little suspicious. She shot a young man a look, and the young man left immediately.
Then, Su Xiaoyu led Wei Huo to the administrative center of District C7. They left the market and walked into the residential area. The houses were right next to each other, and only one path was left. Many people chose to plant a few pots of flowers in front of their houses. Sometimes, they could even see a bicycle parked at the door.
These were probably the results of living there for a long time.
Not far ahead, Wei Huo saw an old man and a group of children. The old man was sitting on a stone block and telling a story. The children were listening attentively without blinking.
The oldest child was only eight years old. They had all grown up in the Soaring Cloud City. There were no computers or cell phones there. Their favorite entertainment was listening to others tell stories, playing mud, and having water fights.
The old man began to talk about his experiences. The group of children were extremely serious, afraid that they would miss a single detail. This was because the old man was too good at bragging.
"I was originally an Epic-ranked super expert, but 30 years ago, I was besieged by 15 Epic-ranked monsters the size of small mountains. I risked my life to kill them all, but my cultivation was crippled and I became like this."
This person was even better at bragging than Wei Huo. He had actually dared to say that he was an Epic-ranked expert 30 years ago. Humans had still been in a time halt 30 years ago.
Wei Huo walked closer and heard the old man boasting shamelessly. "I've already lived for 160 years and have a heaven-defying cultivation technique. I was rare at 30 and Epic-ranked at 80. I've lived my entire life and killed countless demons. If not for that, there would not have been so many Epic-ranked demons attacking me. However, the human race's combat power is unparalleled. I still killed them.
After saying that, the old man sighed, causing the children's eyes to light up.
"Grandpa, can you teach me that cultivation technique?" The old man seemed to have been waiting for this sentence. He stroked his beard and looked like an expert.
The old man seemed to be waiting for these words. He stroked his beard, and with the demeanor of an expert, he said, "My biggest regret in this life is that I don't have a successor. This technique of mine is incomparably heaven-defying, and extremely difficult to cultivate. But I see that you and I are fated, so I will pass this technique to you. Let's see which one of you can cultivate it.
If you can master it, the Great Dao will be within reach! "The old man bragged so much that Wei Huo and Su Xiaoyu could not help but stop watching.
Wei Huo asked, "Does this person often brag here?"
Su Xiaoyu shook her head. "This is my first time seeing this person."
The old man blushed when he saw an adult approaching. He said, "Come and wait here at this time tomorrow. I'll pass the technique to you. Let's see who has the most outstanding talent and can inherit my legacy. Remember to bring a bowl of white flour before coming again."
Wei Huo was speechless. He had already seen someone coming, yet he was still bragging. Besides, the last sentence was the main point.
A child was about to kneel on the ground and acknowledge him as his master when the old man quickly stopped him. "You're not my disciple yet. You have to pass my test tomorrow. Don't forget to bring a bowl of white flour and a vegetable tomorrow."
Su Xiaoyu said, "They are all people who followed City Lord Ma Soaring Cloud in the early years. That's why they can stay here permanently without spending a single cent. If the people outside the city do not have special abilities or are not mutants, they will have to pay 30,000 silver taels to become residents of the Soaring Cloud City."
Wei Huo nodded. "That's right. This is an incentive."
Su Xiaoyu added, "However, the atmosphere in the Soaring Cloud City is really different from the other camps outside. Due to the protection of the armored walls, they live very safely in the Soaring Cloud City. Every time I enter the Soaring Cloud City, my heart relaxes. That's why many people are fighting to enter this place."
Wei Huo asked, "But you still chose to stay in the Maple Leaf Camp."
Su Xiaoyu smiled and did not reply. The Maple Leaf Camp had done her a great favor. If she left, the caravan of the Maple Leaf Camp would not be able to continue.
She continued leading Wei Huo to the administrative center. 30 minutes later, they arrived at the high wall separating Area B and Area C. There was a two-story building under the high wall. It occupied a huge area, and there were four guards at the door. Wei Huo nodded.
The four guards were not wearing combat uniforms. They were only wearing guard uniforms and holding police submachine guns in their hands. When they saw Wei Huo and Su Xiaoyu, they immediately walked forward.
"Who are you? This is an important place. If there is nothing important, unrelated people are not allowed to enter. "
Su Xiaoyu took out a black pass. When the four guards saw it, they immediately made way for her.
Wei Huo was a little curious. He asked, "What is this black card?"
Su Xiaoyu explained, "This is a mutant's pass. We can go places ordinary people can't go, but not everywhere."
The Soaring Cloud City took special care of mutants. This was a method of roping them in. The two of them walked into the administrative center.
The buildings inside were arranged in the shape of three. The person in the innermost building had the greatest authority. He was responsible for conveying orders from the higher-ups of Area B. The person in the middle building had medium authority. He was responsible for dispatching and receiving documents. It was like a comprehensive office and a hub. The outermost building was in charge of managing the affairs of Area C7.
The outermost building was in charge of managing the affairs of Area C7. As soon as he walked into the building, Wei Huo heard a voice coming from a conference room. "We are in charge of administration. We have to treat ourselves as an umbrella. Only by shielding the people from the wind and rain will the people lift us up high." Wei Huo nodded.
Wei Huo was a little surprised. He said, "That's right."
If an administrator really had such an awareness, Area C7 would have been well-managed and the people would have been living and working in peace.
