Chapter 646 - Cinderclast Dimension (2/2)
The closer he got, the more daunting the fortress became. He subconsciously slowed down his hover car and became more vigilant.
Liu Hui was stopped in front of the fortress. Guarding the gate was a C-tier ability user.
He was Qin Feng’s new subordinate newly recruited from Dusan—Yuan Xiaoguang.
“The fee to enter is 5 million. The lowest tier allowed is C5.” Yuan Xiaoguang was spirited when he finally saw a visitor. He had been sent to guard the gate the day before. It was a temporary placement, as his job here was to deliver the message and deter new visitors. He was a little upset when he did not get to flex his muscles at anyone on the first day.
Liu Hui was a little unhappy when he heard about the rule. “I am just one sub-tier lower. I am a C4-tier gunner. Could you please let me through?”
“One sub-tier makes all the difference. But if you are confident enough and think of yourself as highly as a prodigy, then I won’t mind letting you in,” Yuan Xiaoguang said.
Liu Hui’s purpose was to gather information so he did not insist on entering. Instead, he began to chat with Yuan Xiaoguang.
Yuan Xiaoguang was bored too so he did not mind the company.
“What’s Governor Qin’s purpose of building this place? I heard that there’s already a tunnel activated inside. What will he do with it?”
“It’s not something you should worry about now. Only B-tiers would be allowed to enter the tunnel.”
“For free?”
“Of course not! The fee would be 100 billion,” Yuan Xiaoguang answered carefreely.
Liu Hui was almost choked by his own saliva. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Are you kidding me? How much did you say?”
“100 billion. Do you think it’s a lot?” Yuan Xiaoguang raised his eyebrow. “As you know, the crystal core of a Cinderclast Golem is worth 30 billion in the market. Killing 4 golems will break even the fee. Now tell me again, do you think the price is too much for a B-tier?”
Liu Hui was speechless. Indeed, it seemed to be worth it for a B-tier.
However, there was something important missing in this seemingly “flawless” calculation.
“How about the risk? The place must be full of Cinderclast Golems, with lava everywhere. Who knows what other danger might be lurking in there? It would be a waste if the B-tier couldn’t kill a single golem in the end!”
Yuan Xiaoguang snorted, “Then it would be their own fault. These past few days, President Qin has entered and returned safely three times. The number of power cores he brought back could already be lumped into a small hill. If others can’t do it, then it simply means they are incapable.”
Liu Hui’s head was spinning now. He was getting too much mind-boggling information at one go—the extravagant price of the ticket and the small hill of power cores Qin Feng had gathered in three days.
“Why are you asking anyway? Not that you can enter the dimension. You would be cooked before even setting foot in the dimension.”
“That’s right. Not that I am here to get access to the portal.” Liu Hui finally remembered his scouting purpose.
“How about this, I will pay you 5 million and you let me go in to take a look. I don’t have the money to enter the tunnel anyway.”
Yuan Xiaoguang thought about it and nodded. “Fair enough. Go in then.”
“Thanks, bro!”
Liu Hui paid the money and entered the fortress. He realized there was nothing unique inside the fortress, except for the two giant pillars at the center square used to activate the tunnel. Beside the two pillars was listed the rules for those who wish to access it.
