Qin Xiao transmigrated into a world where dimensional secret realms had merged. It was an alternate urban world where the entire populace made contracts with beasts. After turning 18, everyone woul...
The capital city, the capital of Huawu Kingdom.
The entire capital city is said to be built on the site of the previous capital, with a long history and an antique charm.
For Qin Xiao, his first impression of the capital was that it was huge, extremely huge!
Compared to most cities that are surrounded by walls and protected by security perimeters, this is a significant improvement.
The size of the capital city truly exceeds the comprehension of ordinary human beings.
Such a vast land, in order to protect it from the invasion of strange beasts and safeguard all its people, naturally required a very ingenious design.
This includes the establishment of defensive positions, the garrison posts, and the defense areas of civilian land reclamation groups—all of which are the result of numerous adjustments and countless reinforcements.
The capital city is divided into three districts, roughly by size, based on a huge circle.
The largest area is used for residential purposes, and the price varies greatly depending on its distance from the center. For example, moving just 100 meters closer to the center can result in a price difference of one or two times.
A medium-sized area was used for production, equipment, and factory construction, and most of the people in the capital worked here.
The smaller section is the college district, lined with official institutions and universities of all sizes.
What makes the capital city even more distinctive is not its urban district divisions, but rather its horizontal division into 49 ring roads.
In the first 35 ring zones, every kilometer, a city rail system will be built horizontally to allow people to move between different areas.
Whether for work, school, or leisure, people will take a vehicle on the nearest ring road to go to other areas.
The further out the loop goes, the greater the Ling Rail mileage and the more stations along the way.
Stepping out of the teleportation portal, Qin Xiao and Ye Qinghuan stood on the huge portal and followed the flow of people into the bustling square in front of them.
Banners were everywhere, such as "Welcome to Huawu Technology College" and "Welcome to the Imperial Capital Psionic Research College," making it dazzling to look at.
"Brother Xiao, are we going straight to the academy?"
Ye Qinghuan still had her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a tank top and a sheer top on top, and hot pants on the bottom. Her long legs were dazzlingly white in the sunlight.
In just a short while, at least a hundred young people, their adolescent hormones surging, glanced over here.
Qin Xiao, wearing sunglasses, raised his hand, tapped his bracelet, and dialed Lu Chengxiao's video call.
It rang for about half a minute before the other end answered.
Lu Chengxiao stared sleepily at the screen, looking unkempt. "Hey, that bastard, messed up my... Qin, Qin Xiao?"
Qin Xiao's face darkened. "It's me, so all my talk last night was for nothing? Are you still not awake?"
Lu Chengxiao sat up, the blanket slipped off, and the loose ties of his disheveled pajamas were half-open.
"Hey! Hey! You guys are here so early?"
"It's still early? It's already 11 a.m.!"
Qin Xiao was speechless. This girl was really unreliable. It seemed he would have to keep her from making the purchase request.
Lu Chengxiao stuck out his tongue, jumped up, grabbed his clothes to take them off, and then came to his senses.
"Hey, you guys find a cool place and wait for me for half an hour, I'll be right there!"
Qin Xiao turned off the video, his face expressionless.
If the capital city weren't so complicated, and if Huawu Yuling Academy weren't so large, he would have gone there himself long ago.
Ye Qinghuan and I arrived at a coffee shop in a corner of the square. We pushed open the door, went inside, enjoyed the air conditioning, and ordered two cups of special spirit bean coffee.
Two cups of Lingdou coffee cost 880.
Living in the capital is not easy.
Taking a sip, it seems not much different from ordinary coffee, with almost no spiritual energy.
Moreover, the cup was pitifully small, not even half the size of Qin Xiao's palm.
"Waiter, get me a new beer glass and pour me ten glasses."
Qin Xiao called over a waiter and said softly.
Although the sound wasn't loud, three or five customers around, who all looked relaxed and nonchalant, turned to look.
There was a hint of disdain in their eyes, but no one dared to cause trouble.
They ignored Qin Xiao's disdain, because unlike the feigned relaxation of these people, he was genuinely relaxed.
Except for the sphincter muscles, the rest of my body is relaxed.
After all, I just enjoyed a relaxing massage with double stimulation yesterday.
While chatting casually with Ye Qinghuan, Qin Xiao idly drank his coffee.
Soon, the bracelet beeped.
"Junior, junior, where are you?"
"Qingshe Handmade Coffee Shop is located in the southeast corner of this square."
Qin Xiao replied, and soon, at the end of the communication, the shop door was pushed open.
Lu Chengxiao walked in fully armed, wearing a hat and a sun-protective curtain over his face.
Qin Xiao was speechless. "Hey senior, is this really necessary? With your Platinum-level strength, are you afraid of this little bit of sun?"
Lu Chengxiao rolled his eyes dramatically. "Just because I'm not afraid of getting sunburned doesn't mean I'm willing to get sunburned. Come on, let's report to the station."
The three of them left without hesitation and were out of the coffee shop in the blink of an eye.
Inside the shop, several customers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Platinum level?
Could he be a top student from Huawu Yuling Academy?
Lu Chengxiao led Qin Xiao toward an official department. Qin Xiao looked at the road sign and was somewhat puzzled.
Where are we going?
Lu Chengxiao glanced at him and gave an irrelevant answer.
Do you have a flying mount?
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Yes, there is. What's wrong?"
Lu Chengxiao smiled and said, "This ring road only stops at the horizontal level, so you have to keep stopping and starting. With the sun so strong, I'm too lazy to walk."
"Just get a permit, then you can ride beasts. Flying beasts would be even better, but I don't have any, so I'll just ride yours."
As Lu Chengxiao spoke, he led the way into a blue and white tenement building.
Beast Taming Department Transportation Security Bureau?
What kind of department is this?
Qin Xiao followed them inside, showed his college entrance examination number, and had his iris and fingerprints checked. Soon, a pass was issued.
"Wow, this is incredibly efficient!" Ye Qinghuan exclaimed.
Lu Chengxiao smiled and said, "These are just jokes in the capital. You never know what powerful figures are behind the people you come into contact with. It's best to do things quickly and efficiently to save trouble."
As he walked out of the Beast Taming Department, both Lu Chengxiao and Ye Qinghuan looked at him.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then summoned Youyou. Jingjing's situation was rather special, since she was an official reward from the Beast Taming Hall, so it was better to avoid trouble.
With a long, drawn-out cry, Youyou suddenly grew to tens of meters in size and hovered high in the sky. Qin Xiao and the other two stood on Youyou's back.
Qin Xiao's bracelet was linked to his pass, so he didn't have to worry about it being suddenly attacked and knocked off.
Soon, following Lu Chengxiao's directions...
Qin Xiao and his two companions exited the teleportation portal at Fukang Road in the 31st Ring Road of the production area.
Take a direct flight to the 5th Ring Road area of the college district, to the registration point of Huawu Yuling Academy.
Below, a few dozen people were coming and going, and rows of small sunshades were set up.
A jumble of strange and unusual beasts sat on one side, some even putting on a show.
"What are they doing?"
Qin Xiao was somewhat curious.
Lu Chengxiao glanced at it, revealing three parts embarrassment, one part disdain, and five parts disgust.
"These idiots are recruiting for this weird club."
