Chapter 178 - Whos Not Afraid? (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The dog had always been the most loyal friend of man. It had been like this since ancient times. Even in ancient times, people who lived in different continents had never interacted with each other. However, humans had built a friendly relationship with dogs in unison.
Some dogs were used to guard the door, while others were used to feed sheep. Some of them were used to pulling sleds.
Even though the dogs became huge 500 years later, they were still friends with humans. They still remembered humans and were willing to serve them. Such behavior was not rare.
At that moment, Wei Huo saw a kitten’s head emerge from the Border Collie’s dense fur. It yawned comfortably and stopped trembling under its warm fur.
Upon seeing this scene, one could not help but feel that cats were really fickle. At times, they were docile and cute, sometimes they were fierce and domineering, but they were occasionally also lazy.
Wei Huo walked over and the kitten changed appearance. It jumped in front of Wei Huo and rubbed its paws against his trousers. “Meow…”
The Border Collie lowered its head and Wei Huo stroked it.
The young girl was very surprised. The Border Collie was usually very arrogant. It was impossible for it to lower its head in front of humans, nor was it like other dogs who liked to quarrel.
Wei Huo said, “I… reared a dog a long time ago.”
The girl was silent for a while. She did not ask what had happened. They were not familiar with each other, and judging from Wei Huo’s expression, it seemed like things had not gone well.
Wei Huo had raised a small white dog in high school. It had been a small Chinese field dog that had cost 30 yuan at the dog market. However, it had been stolen in Year Three. At the time, Wei Huo had been very sad. He had also cursed the thief, but it had been of no use.
Wei Huo thought about it. The pet market was a huge market. It could even be expanded into markets like pet hospitals, pet graveyards, pet parks, and pet arenas. If one punished a dog stealer and perfected the Pet Law, the pet market could do whatever it wanted and increase the country’s financial income and job openings. It could promote harmony between humans and animals and build a peaceful society… He was digressing.
Wei Huo asked the young lady about the situation of the super city. He had already guessed that the three super cities in the Dragon-Soaring Continent had probably been built by three humans at the Legendary stage.
By listening to the girl’s words, Wei Huo learned that her name was Su Xiaoyu and that the ruler of the steel fortress was a man named Ma Tengyun.
This person was known as the Savior. It was because of his appearance that the people in this area had been able to survive. It was said that he was a powerful mutant himself, but no one had seen him attack. There were over 300 mutants under his command. His Soaring Cloud City had a population of 100,000. The city followed the rule of the law and had policemen, merchants, and farmers. Of course, there were also many players.
In addition, the Soaring Cloud City brough benefits to the other camps in the surrounding area. Because the Soaring Cloud City was so powerful, the surrounding camps had chosen to rely on it. Many merchants would only go to the Soaring Cloud City to trade. Many geniuses and mutants would only choose to head to the Soaring Cloud City.
If Ma Tengyun1 called himself king, all the nearby human camps would probably respond.
Wei Huo learned a lot about Soaring Cloud City from Su Xiaoyu. Su Xiaoyu asked him a lot as well, especially about the coffin. Besides Su Xiaoyu, everyone else in her team was also curious. Why had they brought a coffin along?
The sky gradually turned dark as everyone gathered around the bonfire. Someone asked Wei Huo, “Little Brother, how long have you been a traveling merchant?”
Wei Huo replied, “I’ve been staying in the Naga camp for the past few years. I was a traveling merchant five years ago.”
Everyone was shocked. A young man in his twenties exclaimed, “Did you come to this world more than five years ago? Are you from the Marginalized Alliance?”
