After walking along the main road for over a kilometer, Lin Huang and Bloody saw the third alley on their right. They then turned around and walked in.
The alley was so narrow that it could only fit one person at a time.
Lin Huang and Bloody walked in front of each other. The deeper they went, the darker it got.
They finally saw a dark signboard when they were up to 100 meters in. The words' Secret Loft 'were written in dark red.
Lin Huang lifted his head to look. The small building with the signboard only had two floors. It did not look big. Based on what he saw, the usable area of each floor would not exceed 80 square meters at most.
The small building soon matched the one in his memory. Lin Huang was sure that he was in the right place.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Huang pushed the door open and entered.
Bloody followed closely behind him and stepped into the small building.
Lin Huang was a little surprised to see what he saw after entering the small building.
The small building that looked less than 80 square meters from the outside had no end in sight.
"What an awesome space folding technique. That's amazing!" Although he had seen this in his memory, Lin Huang could not help but exclaim when he saw the real thing.
The area that was initially less than 80 square meters expanded at least a hundred times. The small building that looked like it only had two floors had at least ten floors inside. Each floor was taller than the two-story building combined.
The entire building was crowded with people. There were also many stalls selling all sorts of items.
In reality, the Secret Loft did not just sell information. The small building that looked inconspicuous from the outside was one of the few biggest trading markets in the Central Shelter.
"It's quite crowded. Do you want to walk around?" Bloody turned her head to look at Lin Huang.
"Let's get down to business first. We'll have time to walk around later," Lin Huang said and turned around to walk to the spiral staircase on the left.
Although it was called a spiral staircase, it was actually a flying beetle. The scales on its back opened halfway and served as a staircase, sending everyone to the level they wanted.
The flying beetle was a multi-legged bug beast with a tiny brain. Its head looked a little like a centipede's, which was a little scary. However, it was actually docile. As long as they weren't provoked, they wouldn't attack other creatures.
Although it was a double mutated monster, its intelligence was not high. One could even say that it was the lowest among the double mutated monsters.
Because they were docile and easy to feed, they especially liked to chase their own tails and did not resist other people climbing on their bodies. Therefore, in the world of monsters, they were often used as elevators.
However, the horseshoe beetles themselves were never tired of it. They felt that other people climbing onto their bodies were playing with them, so they did not reject this kind of work at all.
Lin Huang and Bloody arrived on the 12th floor of the Secret Loft Tower in just over ten seconds while standing on the scale of the flying beetle.
The 12th floor of the Secret Loft specialized in selling all kinds of information.
A female succubus with a voluptuous body approached Lin Huang and Bloody as soon as they arrived.
This succubus looked 70% like a human. Its skin was fair and translucent, and its body was translucent. She was dressed in white muslin, and there was a thin layer of white mist surrounding her body, making her look ethereal.
The succubus glanced at Bloody and shifted her gaze back to Lin Huang. She asked, "Are the both of you together, sirs?" Her voice sounded ethereal, completely different from the sound of a human's vocal cords.
"Yes, we're together." Lin Huang nodded.
"That's great. There's only secret room No. 13 that's empty at the moment. I'll bring both of you there." The succubus turned around without touching the ground as soon as she was done speaking and led the duo to the empty secret room.
A moment later, the three of them arrived at room No. 13. The succubus stopped walking.
"Please come in, sirs."
Lin Huang nodded and flicked out a Divine Stone. He then pushed the door open with Bloody.
The succubus was stunned for a moment as she took the Divine Stone. "Is this … a Divine Stone?"
The Secret Loft did not force the waiters to tip. However, most of the customers who were generous or had a higher status would tip.
The succubus had been working in the Secret Loft for more than ten years and had received tips at least hundreds of times. However, it was her first time receiving a Divine Stone in her life.
One must know that a low-grade demigod relic usually cost 100 to 300 Divine Stones.
It might be nothing to those above demigod level, but it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money to an immortal-level succubus. It was almost equivalent to three years of her salary working in the Secret Loft.
However, Lin Huang had no idea about that. All he knew was that the masked monster and the rest would tip the waiters whenever they came to the Secret Loft in his memory.
However, the basic currency used in the virtual zone was different from the gravel world and the great world. They used a type of energy crystal that was produced in the virtual zone. It was called the White Crystal.
Lin Huang did not have such a thing, but he was embarrassed not to tip the waiters, so he gave the waiters a Divine Stone instead.
After all, the Divine Stone that contained Divine Power could be used in the virtual zone and the great world. It was a hard currency.
Lin Huang had no idea that the succubus had misunderstood him as a tycoon. Even if he knew, he would not care.
Lin Huang and Bloody could not help but look around as they entered Secret Loft No. 13.
Apart from a counter and a black-robed man who sat behind the counter, there was nothing else in the room.
The black-robed man was covered in a black robe and wore a white faceless mask. Nobody could tell what he looked like at all. On the white mask, there were only four small holes where the four eyes should be. The rest of the mask was a blank slate.
Two high stools appeared out of thin air before the counter as soon as Lin Huang and Bloody walked in.
The black-robed man only asked calmly after the duo sat down, "What would you like to know?"
The voice sounded like it came from far away instead of right in front of them.
Lin Huang was used to this world where there were more monsters than humans, so he was not surprised.
"I'd like information about the ruins and sites that have been opened in the past 1,000 years. It's best if it's detailed information. The more detailed, the better," Bloody, who was sitting next to him, said directly before Lin Huang could speak.
The black-robed man turned his head to look at Bloody in slight surprise. He thought Lin Huang would be the leader of the deal.
However, he was only surprised for a moment and offered directly, "30,000 Divine Stones."
"That expensive?" Bloody raised her brow.
"A few of them are related to the Three Sovereigns, so it's inevitable that it'll be a little more expensive," the black-robed man explained simply.
"Is the information detailed?" Lin Huang asked.
"Everything that should be included. If not, it's information that shouldn't be included, "the black-robed man said while staring at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang and Bloody looked at each other. Lin Huang then turned his head and nodded at the black-robed man. "Sure."
"The second piece of information is the way to leave the virtual zone. It must be a feasible way, and the more detailed, the better. "Bloody suggested the second deal.
The black-robed man offered very quickly this time. "One million Divine Stones."
"Are you asking for too much?" Lin Huang frowned slightly when he heard the offer.
"Sir, don't panic. Let me finish," the black-robed man said calmly.
"In reality, everyone knows the way to leave the virtual zone. Such information is worthless. I'm taking one million Divine Stones from you because we, the Secret Loft, can help you contact the person who can send you guys out.
"One million Divine Stones is just a referral fee to meet the person to let you guys meet her. However, it's not within our jurisdiction to decide what kind of price she wants to pay to send you guys out. Whether you guys can make a deal with her in the end has nothing to do with us.
"Of course, if you guys don't want to go through our referral, we can provide you with the information. Just treat it as a gift for the first piece of information. It's free. "
Lin Huang and Bloody looked at each other again and began discussing secretly through voice transmission.
The black-robed man did not rush them and waited patiently for the duo's answer.
Approximately two to three minutes later, Lin Huang finally turned his head and looked at the black-robed man. "One million it is. Let's make the deal!"
