This was the first time that he had come to a system main city in the outer regions, so Zhao Fu looked around with interest. This time, Zhao Fu had teleported here by himself and hadn't brought anyone else. If he had brought so many soldiers, he would have been blacklisted by the system main city.
Battle City was a system main city that was much more crude. The buildings were all made of large rocks and didn't have much decoration. Most of the residents wore crude clothes, but they gave off a sense of wildness.
Zhao Fu asked around and found out why this system main city was called Battle City. Normally, system main cities forbade private duels and provided Arenas to settle grievances. Battle City's City Lord had expanded the Arenas by many times and encouraged duels.
The way to obtain City Merit Points here wasn't just through quests; it could also be obtained through the Arena's matches. Moreover, the City Lord would host a gambling session, and the odds would be set according to the strength of both sides. Anyone could place a bet.
As such, there wasn't just one Arena in Battle City but many of them. There were also spectator stands for everyone to watch.
No wonder the people here were so valiant – the Arenas were one of the specialties of this place. Zhao Fu felt quite interested as he walked into one of the Arenas to take a look.
The Arena was a circular structure, and there were rows of chairs made of Iron Wood. At the center was a 100 meter wide cage, within which two people were fighting. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
There were many people here, and it was quite raucous. Everyone was watching the two people fighting in the Arena, and they excitedly yelled.
One of the two people in the Arena had slashed open the other person's stomach with his saber, causing that person's intestines to fall out. The scene was incredibly bloody.
Seeing this bloody scene, the spectators cheered even more excitedly. By now, the other person had already killed the person who had slashed open the other person's stomach and chopped off his head, and he happily yelled to the spectators.
Following this, a person who looked like a referee walked into the Arena and announced his victory. Next, it was time to claim his reward. Those who had bet on this person to win could go to the side to claim their reward. There were also people there who could directly exchange the money to them.
Not only would those who won the duels obtain Merit Points, but they would also receive a lot of Coins as a reward. Due to this, many players entered the Colosseum to fight. There were many types of duels, including indigenous residents, players, Outlanders, and even humans and beasts.
After taking a quick look, Zhao Fu thought to himself for a while before leaving the Arena. He went to the Real Estate Department and used his status to buy 20 properties and prepare to open a restaurant. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
After spending two hours doing all of this, Zhao Fu went to the other three main cities and repeated what he had done here. He then looked at Little Valley's specialties and busied himself until night time. Only then did Zhao Fu return to Qin Village.
After returning to Qin Village, Zhao Fu discussed with a few of his generals and decided to establish a Department of Commerce to manage the business side.
Before, the business side was not part of the internal affairs, and most of the people that Zhao Fu had hired were players and indigenous residents. There were only a few people in charge, but now that the roads had been opened, there had to be a Department of Commerce.
For example, managing restaurants, buying specialties, selling specialties, and buying and selling other products required a lot of people, and there was not a single Department that could not be managed well. As such, Zhao Fu left this to Ba Qing.
After discussing this matter, everyone else left, leaving only Zhao Fu and Ge Nia. Zhao Fu asked Ge Nia to stay because he had something to tell him. Zhao Fu wanted to nurture Ge Nia into a peerless swordsman, someone who could comprehend the way of the sword to the extreme. With a flick of his finger, he could insta-kill a large number of sword saints.
The cruel, bloody, and cold place that Zhao Fu had seen in the Colosseum was quite suitable for Ge Nia. Through continuous duels and killing, he would be able to grasp the way of the sword to the extreme between life and death.
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Fu had a special identity and had many things to take care of, he would have liked to go there to train himself. That sort of cruel place could allow people to quickly grow.
Zhao Fu told Ge Nia about what he had seen today, and he wanted to see what Ge Nia thought about it.
After hearing Zhao Fu's words, Ge Nia didn't think for too long before cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty! I feel that that place is quite suitable for training the way of the sword, and I'm willing to go! "
When he heard this, Zhao Fu once again warned him, "It's incredibly dangerous there, and you'll either die or survive. You need to be mentally prepared!"
Ge Nia earnestly nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu took out an exquisite Silver grade sword from his King's Ring and handed it to Ge Nia as he said, "I'll give this sword to you; I'll prepare some high-grade skills for you later!"
When he heard Zhao Fu's words, Ge Nia felt quite surprised and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. However, this subordinate would like to personally choose a sword. Moreover, Your Majesty doesn't need to prepare too many high-grade skills for me; just a few basic ones will be fine."
When he heard Ge Nia's words, Zhao Fu felt quite surprised, but he could understand. In order to pursue the essence of the way of the sword, one couldn't be too affected by external factors.
Zhao Fu agreed to Ge Nia's request, and he brought Ge Nia to Qin's Armory. Not only were there all sorts of weapons from the region of bones, but there were also all sorts of equipment made from Bronze Concentrate, as well as equipment that had been brought back by the army.
When Ge Nia arrived at the Armory and saw the countless weapons in front of him, he lightly breathed out and closed his eyes as he walked past the weapons. Even after a while, Ge Nia still didn't stop.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu frowned and thought to himself, 'Don't tell me that there isn't a single one of these weapons that Ge Nia likes?'
Ge Nia continued to walk, and just as he was about to reach the end, he suddenly opened his eyes. He stretched out his hand and picked up a sword that was slightly bloodstained and seemed to have not been cleaned.
After picking up the sword, Ge Nia lightly stroked the blade with his fingers, feeling the coldness coming from the blade, and he smiled in satisfaction.
This smile surprised Zhao Fu. After all, Ge Nia had always been like a block of ice, and his expression was always cold. This was the first time Zhao Fu had seen him smile, so he was quite surprised.
After choosing the sword, Ge Nia returned to Zhao Fu's side and respectfully bowed as he said, "Your Majesty! I've made my choice. "
When he heard this, Zhao Fu looked at Ge Nia's sword curiously. He had thought that Ge Nia had chosen a good sword, but it was only a White grade sword. He didn't know when he had obtained it, but there was nothing special about it.
