Silence, deafening.
After Su Luo asked the question, both Shu Li, who was wearing a bathrobe, and Yang Zijin, whose brain had gone blank, looked at Su Luo with serious expressions.
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
Shouldn't people ask confidential questions about these kinds of developments? Shouldn't they ask who the founder of the Spark Society is, and what kind of cunning person the city lord of Bailing City is? This, this, this...
Thinking of this, Yang Zijin also looked at Shu Li with great curiosity.
In his memory, when he first met Shu Li, he was dressed like this: unkempt, with a stubble beard, looking like a middle-aged man, which is why he was called Brother Shu.
However, during one mission, she appeared as a young and beautiful girl. At the time, Yang Zijing didn't pay much attention, guessing that it was because the mission required the use of a technique similar to changing clothes. After all, before the apocalypse, many human women possessed such amazing beauty skills as makeup.
But now...
Could it be that Brother Shu isn't actually Brother Shu, but Sister Shu?!
Noticing Yang Zijing's gaze, Shu Li was furious. She usually thought Yang Zijing was quite smart, so why did he let her down at this crucial moment? What's with that inquisitive look in your eyes? Don't you know perfectly well whether he's a man or a woman?
Yang Zijin: I... I don't know, don't slander my innocence!
Seeing the interaction between the two, Su Luo smiled and found it hilarious.
"Alright, it's a personal question. If you don't want to answer, that's fine."
"I'd like to ask, what kind of place is this 'Golden Cave' you mentioned?"
This place name was already well-known in Red Leaf City. After all, that young master Hong seemed to be closely related to the Golden Cave, and Shu Li had just said that he had just come out of the Golden Cave. The Golden Cave, the Golden Cave, just from the name, it sounds like a place where you have to spend money.
"Ahem." Realizing they'd been teased by Su Luo, Shu Li coughed awkwardly a few times, but there was nothing she could do. After all, on Human Nine Stars, with that kind of strength, who would dare to touch her?!
"The Golden Cave, as the name suggests, is a place where you spend money. It's a membership-based place where you swipe your card to enter and exit. For every yuan of ghost money you spend inside, you earn one point. The more points you have, the more services you can enjoy and the higher the floors you can access."
As she spoke, Shu Li took a few steps forward and came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the entire Bailing main city. She pointed to a magnificent, brightly lit golden building not far away and said, "That is the Golden Cave."
"The entire exterior of the building is covered with gold leaf, exuding wealth and luxury. At the very top is a complete luminous pearl, ensuring that the main city of Bailing shines brightly even under the dark night sky."
Looking at the high-rise buildings not far away, even Su Luo sighed inwardly. He had to admit that it was indeed a characteristic of Bailing Main City.
The power of money.
"What level of membership are you?"
"Me?" Upon hearing this, Shu Li pointed to herself, then took out a silver card with a hint of gold from her pocket and slowly said, "It's just a platinum card, nothing special."
"However, a platinum card requires spending at least a million ghost money. When you first become a member, you get a slightly transparent white card. Once you spend more than 200,000, the white card will turn pure white and become a silver card, and then a platinum card."
"Above that are the top-tier cards: two million, five million, ten million, fifty million, one hundred million, one billion, five billion, and ten billion."
"The Golden Cave card can only be used by the cardholder and can only be used to purchase services within the Golden Cave. Moreover, the legendary top-tier card, which is said to be worth over 10 billion, requires not only money but also a certain status to apply for."
"According to my information, only five of those top-tier cards have been issued to the public in the entire Bailing City."
"Released to the public?" Grasping the key words, Su Luo repeated them, as if asking Shu Li to explain further if he could.
"Yes, that's right. The external distribution refers to all the families in the Abyss, while the internal distribution is almost exclusively to the city lords of the major cities and the royal families above the monsters."
“Those strange creatures don’t need to apply; the Golden Cave should have provided each of them with a specific top-tier card.”
I see.
Su Luo nodded. As expected, in Bailing City, money is power. Only those with billions of dollars are qualified to apply for a special top-tier card, and there are even thresholds. If your identity is not good enough, no matter how much money you spend, it won't work... right?
It's not that the more money you spend, the higher your status. You've already spent 10 billion, how could you not have status and position? Without status and position, you wouldn't have 10 billion to spend, except for someone like Su Luo, who is a bug in the system.
As for that young master Hong, is it highly likely that his family owns a top-tier card, one of the five publicly issued cards?
Just as Su Luo was deep in thought, an alarm suddenly went off in his mind and his body issued a danger warning. His five senses, enhanced by the system, detected the danger!
"careful!"
Su Luo suddenly pressed Yang Zijin, who was closest to her, forward, and made her fall to the ground. The next second, with a loud bang, the entire French window shattered into glass shards, just like in a pre-apocalyptic movie, and the shards fell to the ground.
Although Shu Li was far away, she reacted quickly and fell down after seeing Su Luo's actions, thus escaping unharmed.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Shu Li stood up, swaying as she covered her head. She looked at the room with its floor-to-ceiling windows wide open, completely unobstructed. At that moment, a helicopter approached from afar, heading towards the hotel room that had lost its floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Wasn't it said that this hotel could withstand a seven-star attack?" Su Luo frowned. Sure enough, these things were unreliable in critical moments.
“That was not just a seven-star domain, but a special type of domain.”
"On the Seven Stars, [Resonance]."
Shu Li quickly found the answer in her mind, "As far as I know, this domain is exclusively for humans, so why would it suddenly appear here, and even..." and even attack Su Luo?
Wait, there's a place where they might have the ability to drive them to attack Su Luo.
Night.
Could it be that someone posted a bounty on Su Luo's name on the dark web of the supernatural?
Thinking of this, Shu Li looked at Su Luo and asked, "Which important figure in Bailing City have you offended recently?"
"A great monster?" Su Luo thought for a moment. He had only just arrived in Bailing City and hadn't seen any great monsters yet. How could he possibly offend one?
but……
"There are no great monsters, but I did provoke a monster named Young Master Hong. I heard he's from Bailing City."
Shu Li's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again after hearing the name "Young Master Hong".
flood?
Is it the Hong he knows?
Good heavens, no wonder he's the owner of the Nine Stars Upper Domain. He always faces tough opponents in one-on-one fights, and his ability to cause trouble is no less than that of the protagonists in those novels before the apocalypse.
"That young master Hong, the Hong family he represents, is the family behind one of the five top-tier Golden Cave cards that were issued to the public!"
