The city built at the bottom of the volcano was very weird. Wei Huo and the others felt that this was a city that exceeded their understanding. They had never thought that a city could be built like this.
Xiao Liang said, "The world is filled with many unknowns. Discovering these unknowns is a very interesting thing. The premise is that one is strong enough to not die while discovering the unknowns."
The others agreed. Wei Huo said, "If the magma is replaced with a river and the black ship is replaced with an ordinary ship, it will look like Venice."
Xiao Liang nodded in agreement.
Lu Qiqi asked Wei Huo, "What is Venice like?"
Wei Huo introduced it to Lu Qiqi carefully. "Venice is a city built on water. People can only rely on boats to travel. The scenery there is very good."
Lu Qiqi asked, "Have you been there?"
Wei Huo shook his head. "No, it's a pity that Venice might have disappeared in the long river of history. Its story has probably disappeared as well. I'm afraid not many people know about its existence."
Time was an extremely terrifying method that could obliterate everything.
Everyone continued touring the city. They were actively searching for the city's library, but unfortunately, they did not see a bookstore after wandering around for a long time, let alone a library.
The golden armor said, "In such a high-temperature environment, Atlanteans should not use books to record their knowledge."
The Prime Minister Black Dragon said, "However, no matter which civilization it is, it should record its knowledge in some medium for others to learn. Otherwise, this civilization would not be able to be passed down."
Xiao Liang sighed. "The technology level of this city is too high. So far, we haven't even found the entrance to these houses. How can we enter?"
Lu Qiqi said domineeringly, "Capture an Atlantean and ask him."
As soon as she said that, the Prime Minister Black Dragon attacked and grabbed a busy Atlantean by the side of the road. The group of people hid in a deserted place and surrounded the Atlantean.
The Atlantean was stunned. What was he doing?
He asked loudly, "Do you know who I am?"
Everyone was a little surprised. Could it be that they had caught a big shot?
The Atlantean added, "Let me tell you, I will lose 300,000 Magma Coins for every minute you delay me. You can't afford it. You'd better let me go before I get angry!"
The golden armor asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
The Atlantean was a little surprised by the talking armor, but he still said confidently, "How dare you kill me? Alright, come and kill me. I'm very valuable. If you kill me, you'll have to pay at least 150 million Magma Coins. "
The Atlantean could not stop talking about money, which made everyone curious.
Wei Huo took a step forward and asked roughly, "Do you want money or your life?"
The Atlantean screamed, "You … You are robbers. Let me tell you, you can kill me, but it's impossible for you to take my money!"
Xiao Liang said curiously, "The values of these Atlanteans seem different from ours!"
The Atlantean frowned. "Don't pretend to be crazy. You've already triggered three economic laws. You'd better let me go and give me financial compensation. Otherwise, I'll sue you!"
Lu Qiqi said domineeringly, "This is too slow. Search his soul directly!"
Wei Huo said, "Let me."
His aura of nirvanic extermination drilled into the Atlantean's head. Soon, Wei Huo read the Atlantean's knowledge one by one.
After searching for knowledge, the Atlantean fainted. Wei Huo's methods were brilliant. The Atlantean was not harmed. Everyone put the Atlantean aside and continued moving forward.
Wei Huo organized the knowledge carefully, compressed it, and transmitted it to the others' brains through Divine Sense transmission. The others were also Legendary creatures. They quickly decompressed the compressed package and read the knowledge inside. Wei Huo nodded and said, "That's right.
After reading a portion, Xiao Liang said in shock, "I see. This underwater world is actually a world that only talks about money. All Atlanteans only respect one thing — money!"
Wei Huo said, "I can only say that money is the highest standard they pursue. Although they also have laws and morals, both serve the first order."
The golden armor looked at the black boat coming and going in the magma flow and said, "No wonder they're in such a hurry. They're all in a hurry to earn money!"
They checked the Atlantean's memories carefully. Xiao Liang said, "No wonder we couldn't find a library. There's no library here. There's only a knowledge store. There's a fee to obtain knowledge."
Wei Huo looked around and said, "I didn't expect that I would have to pay for everything here. I have to pay for walking, breathing, and even sleeping." Wei Huo looked around and said, "I didn't expect that everything here would cost money.
This city was very weird. The ruler had set the rules. In this city, one had to pay for everything. One had to eat, drink, sleep, and even breathe air.
Every Atlantean had a chip implanted in the back of their necks. This chip was very high-tech, and the Atlanteans could not take it out with their own abilities. No matter what the Atlanteans did, the chip would send the information to the terminal.
Every Atlantean would be bound to an account after 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 every time they breathed and took a step.
This confirmed the saying: You can't do anything without money.
Of course, the Atlanteans could also choose to leave the city and head to some cities with cheaper fees. However, unless the Atlanteans did not live in the city, they would have to pay for everything they did.
It was no wonder that the Atlantean had been so anxious. He had to charge a fee for every word he said. He would lose a lot of money if he was stopped by five people for no reason.
"What a weird city," the Prime Minister Black Dragon said. "As long as one is strong enough, one can get whatever they want. Why work so hard for the ruler of the city to earn money?"
He was right. No matter how hard ordinary people worked, they were actually making money for the ruler of the city, because they had to pay for everything they did. However, they could not leave the city, because they could only make more money in the city.
This was an unavoidable cycle. Unless one had great strength like Wei Huo and the others, one could naturally transcend everything.
