Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.
Until he fell into a terrifying w...
The weirdness of the City of Comfort is so warm and friendly.
So friendly that humans are flattered and even doubt their authenticity.
Especially for those human adventurers who have just escaped from other terrible cities, everything in this city is too good.
This made them suspicious and they always felt that this was a strange conspiracy of the city, but at the same time they couldn't help but really hope that there was such a place that could accept them and let them rest in peace without having to worry about fighting all day long.
Wu Xiangwang and the others also received a group of greasy nuts that were strangely lined up and delivered by some kind of hamsters.
Wu Xiangwang looked at the plump and fresh nuts in his hand and smelled the unique sweet fragrance of the nuts, and was sure that these fruits were really being given away for free. Moreover, these strangely sent nuts were indeed fresh nuts that could be eaten, not poisoned or rotten food.
Some of the people who received the nuts smiled and thanked the group of hamsters in a strange way, then stuffed the nuts into their mouths and ate them with a crunch. It was obvious that they had lived in the City of Bliss for a long time.
Most of the new adventurers looked hesitant while holding the egg-sized nuts, and finally accepted the nuts without eating them.
"Don't worry, everyone. I've heard that the monsters in the City of Bliss are truly friendly to humans! Furthermore, the monsters in this city aren't menacing, but rather cute and beautiful. It's truly a place perfect for us humans to live in for the long term."
"Anyway, I've been living here for half a year now. I no longer have the same fear I used to have when I went through the city. I can earn enough money every day by completing simple tasks in the city, and I can finally eat and sleep well."
Wu Xiangwang looked over and saw that it was Jin Richeng who had spoken. He was holding a large nut in his hand, his face filled with exaggerated joy. "I know everyone still doubts the strangeness of this city, but believe me, time reveals people's true nature, and it's really good to discover these strange things over time."
"If you stay in this city for a while, you'll understand. Just like this nut in my hand, whether it's poisonous or not, and whether it tastes good or not, wouldn't you know if you just eat it?"
Having said this, Jin Richeng stuffed the pointed end of the big nut into his mouth, crunched it, and then began to chew it with satisfaction.
Many adventurers who had just entered the city at the task panel looked at Jin Richeng who was eating large nuts with a relaxed and contented look on his face. Many of them were moved by his appearance and words.
After all, if a human being can say such words and have such a relaxed and natural posture, perhaps this City of Bliss really is an ideal paradise?
When the adventurers relaxed, Jin Richeng was also quickly attracting and inviting them to stay in his hotel.
Soon he came to Wu Xiangwang and his companions' electric tricycle, and the moment his eyes met Wu Xiangwang's, Jin Richeng's eyes lit up again.
"Nice to meet you again, beautiful lady! We're destined to be together! Are all those in the car your companions? It's getting late today, so let's go to my hotel and stay overnight. I'll treat you all to a barbecue buffet for dinner!"
Wu Xiangwang looked at Jin Richeng and gave him a polite fake smile, then nodded to everyone in the car and accepted his invitation.
After all, everyone had already discussed it outside the city. They must have a place to stay tonight. Since someone has invited them, they can stay there. If there are any problems, they can leave at that time.
At least considering the strange attitude of the City of Bliss towards them now, there will not be any major danger within two or three days.
So Wu Xiangwang and the other twelve followed Jin Richeng to his pastoral-style family hotel.
In addition to Wu Xiangwang and his group, there were two other electric tricycles and five or six human adventurers pushing carts following him.
This time, Jin Richeng led away at least thirty adventurers who had just entered the city.
When leaving, Wu Xiangwang saw through the car window that other human mutual helpers living in the city were welcoming those who had just entered the city. They were all extremely enthusiastic and invited the newcomers as if they were... competing for a living treasure.
Wu Xiangwang frowned and didn't allow himself to think about it any further.
About ten minutes later, Wu Xiangwang felt the electric car stop, and Wu Xingyun's voice, filled with envy and admiration, rang in his ears:
"Wow, this villa of his is so huge. It feels even bigger than the old Czech house!"
"This place is more than just bigger than Old Czech's house. How can Old Czech's shabby house and yard compare to this exquisite little villa with a rural idyllic style?"
Shang Chong complained, “Look, there are flowers and vegetables planted in this yard, but the old Czech’s yard is just dirt!”
Wu Xiangwang also opened his eyes and looked at Jin Richeng's home. He couldn't help but sigh at the vastness and strangeness of this strange world. The achievements of Carnival were great enough before, and now this City of Peace and Happiness was probably even bigger than Carnival City.
After all, even humans can have such a good and spacious living space.
Tsk, I feel more and more that I can’t leave this place once I come here.
"Everyone, we're at my house! Haha, don't be shy, come in! We're all compatriots from Earth, and we're all family, so don't be polite to me!"
Jin Richeng stood in the yard with a smile and greeted the more than 30 people who followed him.
While he was speaking, a little fox girl with a big furry tail, pointed ears, and a pretty and charming face mysteriously popped out of the house.
"Brother Chengcheng, you're back!"
"Huhu has prepared a feast!"
"There are fish and shrimp, fragrant marinated grilled meat, lots of fresh grass and leaves, and, and, and, sweet and sour fruits and juices!!"
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Jin Richeng walked up to the beautiful and charming big-tailed fox girl and rubbed her head and ears.
"That's awesome, thank you."
The fox girl's strange big tail swung happily: "I like Chengcheng! I am willing to do anything for Chengcheng~"
When the little fox girl said the last sentence strangely, a glimmer of greed and desire flashed in the fox's eyes.
Jin Richeng's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered. "I like Huhu too! Okay, the guests are all here. You go in and help set the table. Since there are so many people here today, we can eat directly in the living room."
The little fox girl strangely heard Jin Richeng's words and left reluctantly, wagging her tail. But before leaving, she turned her head and glanced at the thirty or so new warriors standing in the yard, a big smile appearing on her pretty face:
"Welcome to the City of Peace and Happiness! Huhu likes making friends, so you can come play with him anytime!"
Looking at the back of the pretty little fox girl leaving, Shang Chong couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful of Wu Xingyun's mushrooms.
The moldy mushroom immediately moved away his mushroom unhappily. "Why are you pinching my mushroom for no reason?"
Shang Chong sighed, "This is a bit troublesome. The weirdness in this city is too, too scary!"
Wu Xingyun understood what this thorny Dharma King meant and nodded sympathetically: "Not only are they not scary, the scary thing is that they're actually kind of cute!"
When faced with a city full of ferocious and ugly monsters, people can attack without hesitation. However, if faced with monsters like those in the City of Bliss, which look like enlarged cats and dogs, or like orcs or elves cosplay, I am afraid that few people can attack them in the first place.
And perhaps even if they attack, they won't be ruthless or fatal.
The adventurers in the yard had different expressions after hearing what Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun said, but no one spoke any more.
They entered Jin Richeng's Country Villa Hotel one by one, and were then quickly assigned rooms by Jin Richeng who was already waiting in the room.
"My house is not very big, it only has three floors. The second and third floors are both habitable rooms. However, the rooms on the third floor are more comfortable and luxurious than the second floor. The rooms on the third floor have private bathrooms and are divided into three types: double rooms, triple rooms and quadruple rooms.
The toilet and bathroom on the second floor are on both sides of the corridor, and the second floor is occupied by eight-person rooms with bunk beds.”
"A room on the second floor here only costs 5 energy copper coins per person per day. The third floor is a bit more expensive, 50 energy copper coins per person per day."
Although the room on the third floor was obviously different from Jin Richeng's initial offer, Jin Richeng was not lying because he had the room on the second floor.
But how could Wangwang Fairy Man, oh no, Wangwang Fairy Lady, possibly stay in the eight-person room on the second floor? He didn't even consider the four-person or three-person rooms on the third floor. He directly requested a deluxe double room with the best view and decided to stay there.
Little Lajiao was originally still struggling with whether she should live in the same room with Wangwang Brother now that Wangwang Sister has become Wangwang Sister, but now it seems that she doesn't need to think too much about it. She can just live in the four-person room on the third floor with her trusted colleagues in the office.
Just add an extra bed.
Anyway, they slept in the same car all the way, so there was nothing to worry about sleeping in the same room. On the contrary, Xiao Lajiao felt extremely safe surrounded by her colleagues.
When Wu Xiangwang and the others came downstairs with their room keys, Jin Richeng, the strange little fox girl Huhu, and four other adventurers who had arrived in the city before them were already waiting at the big dining table downstairs.
Looking at the full plates on the table, it was obvious that Jin Richeng was not lying. It was a very sumptuous dinner.
"Alright, alright everyone, come sit down! You must be tired after running around for so many days, right? Don't worry, have a good meal tonight, then go upstairs to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. Tomorrow will be a beautiful and peaceful day!"
"I arrived in this city half a year earlier than everyone else, and I'm very familiar with everything in the City of Bliss. If there's anything you don't know, or want to know, you can ask me, and I'll be happy to share everything I know."
"Ah, but before you ask, I want to tell you the most dangerous thing about this city. Everyone must remember this important point carefully."
Jin Richeng's expression suddenly became serious: "Everything is good in the City of Peace. Almost all the monsters are willing to coexist peacefully with humans. The daily tasks in the city are simple and safe, and the rewards are very generous.
But this peaceful city is not entirely peaceful.”
Wu Xiangwang stared at the plate of crystal clear fish fillets in front of him and blinked, then reluctantly looked up and listened to Jin Richeng continue:
"Because there's a Class A wanted criminal named Liusha in the City of Joy! Liusha is one of the very few killers in the City of Joy who are extremely opposed to peaceful coexistence with humans and believe that humans are nothing more than strange food and targets for slaughter.
Because Liusha loves killing, he enjoys wandering around at night or on deserted streets, killing people. He's even a very brutal weirdo himself, and once he gets addicted to killing, he won't hesitate to kill the weirdos of the City of Bliss, just to satisfy his perverted, evil killing pleasure.
"So, I advise everyone not to take on Hero quests if you're not strong enough. But even if you don't take on Hero quests, there's a high chance you'll encounter Him.
Because Liusha particularly enjoys chasing after new adventurers who have just entered the city, toying with them until he's satisfied, then slaughtering and eating them."
"He wanders the City of Bliss every night, choosing his next target to torture and toy with..." Jin Richeng's face darkened as he spoke. "So, there's a good chance you'll see that crazy wanted criminal tonight."
"After all, my hotel has been safe and sound for five consecutive days."
"I always feel a little panicked."
"But don't worry too much, everyone. Our house is protected by an energy barrier. Even if Liusha really comes, as long as you don't let him deceive you or intimidate you into leaving the house, he will just lie by the window and howl at you."
After Jin Richeng finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Actually, putting this aside, the City of Bliss is truly peaceful."
Don’t forget everyone: “…” This really can’t be considered peaceful, right?!
Then, just when everyone was silent, suddenly, a series of piercing, sharp and weird roars came from outside, from far to near and from low to high.
Wu Xiangwang frowned, covered his ears and looked outside the villa's yard.
In just one glance, he saw a strange figure covered with sharp black barbs and holding a huge hammer in its hand...
He looked really scary and crazy as he howled and slapped the energy shield of the villa courtyard outside.
