Chapter 304 - Hard To Proceed Without Mone (2/2)
The Atlantean exclaimed, “You… You guys are robbers! I’m telling you, you can kill me, but it’s impossible for you to have my money!”
Xiao Liang said curiously, “The values of the Atlanteans seem to be different from ours!”
The Atlantean frowned. “Don’t act crazy. You’ve triggered three economic laws. You’d better let me go and give me financial compensation. Otherwise, I’ll sue you!”
Lu Qiqi said domineeringly, “That’s too slow. Search his soul!”
Wei Huo said, “Let me do it.”
His aura of nirvanic extermination had already drilled the male Atlantean’s head. Soon, Wei Huo had access to his knowledge.
After he searched through all the knowledge, the Atlantean fainted. Wei Huo’s method was brilliant. The Atlantean had not been harmed. Everyone set the Atlantean aside and continued moving forward.
Wei Huo sorted out the knowledge carefully and compressed it. He then transmitted it to the other people’s brains through Divine Sense transmission. The others were also Legendary creatures. They quickly uncompressed the compressed information and read the knowledge inside.
After reading a portion of it, Xiao Liang said in shock, “I see. This underwater world is actually a world that values money. All Atlanteans only worship one thing—money!”
Wei Huo said, “It can be said that money is the highest standard they pursue. Although they also have laws and morals, they are slaves to money.”
The golden armor looked at the black boat flowing in the magma and said, “No wonder they were in such a hurry. They were in a hurry to earn money!”
They checked the memories of the Atlantean carefully. Xiao Liang said, “No wonder we couldn’t find a library. There’s no library here. There’s only a knowledge sales center. One has to pay to obtain knowledge.”
Wei Huo looked around and said, “I didn’t expect to be charged for everything I do here. I even have to pay for walking, breathing, and sleeping.”
This city was very weird. The ruler had set these rules. In this city, no matter what one did, one had to pay. One had to eat, drink, pee, walk, sleep, and even breathe by paying.
A chip was implanted behind each Atlantean’s neck. The chip’s technological content was very high, and the Atlanteans could not retrieve it with their own ability. No matter what the Atlanteans did, the chip would send a message to the terminal.
Every Atlantean would be connected to an account since 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 for every breath and every step they took.
It was indeed true that one could not do anything without money.
Of course, the Atlanteans could choose to leave the city and head to other cheaper cities. However, unless they did not want to live in this city, they would have to pay for everything they did.
It was no wonder that the Atlantean was so anxious. Every word he said cost him a fee. If he was stopped by five people for no reason, he would lose a lot of money.
“What a weird city,” the Prime Minister said. “As long as one is strong enough, one can have whatever one wants. Why work so hard to earn money for the ruler of the city?”
He was right. No matter how hard ordinary people worked, they were actually earning money for the city’s ruler, as they had to pay no matter what they did. However, they could not leave this city because they could earn more money there.
This was a cycle one could not escape from. However, if one wanted to possess powerful strength like Wei Huo and the others, one could naturally transcend everything.
Wei Huo said, “It seems like we can’t buy a ship. If we want one, we can only snatch it.”
