Chen Ping agreed with Gabriel's analysis and replied, "That's right, let's take this opportunity to explore it properly." He then skillfully maneuvered the small and agile yacht, weaving nimbly among the many ships. Compared to the large ships that had to wait in line according to port regulations, they were able to approach their destination much more conveniently.
Upon arriving at the port, the two disembarked first, while Chen Ping calmly stowed the yacht and, together with Gabriel, followed the bustling crowd into the port area.
Although the port wasn't piled high with goods, it was teeming with people of all races, showcasing the island's inclusive nature. Among the crowds were elegant elves and pure mermaids, as well as robust orcs, hardworking dwarves, and wild barbarians—a diverse array of races.
At a glance, one can identify at least a dozen different species of organisms.
Following the crowd, the two soon arrived at the magnificent city gate, above which were prominently carved three characters—"Paradise City." Chen Ping stared at it for a moment, muttering, "Paradise City... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before. Let me think, where was it mentioned..."
Gabriel, who was standing to the side, looked around with interest before turning to Chen Ping and replying, "Paradise City is indeed quite famous. You probably heard about it from other people's casual conversations."
What makes this city unique is its own island compass, but these compasses are extremely expensive. It's said that the starting price on the market is 100,000 Origin Gold Coins, and even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy one—truly a priceless treasure.
After listening to Gabriel's further explanation, Chen Ping's mind suddenly cleared: "So that's how it is. The operator behind Paradise City is actually Treasure Island. I remember when Black General and Handsome Brother visited the Heart of God Island last time, Handsome Brother did mention some interesting stories about his work in Paradise City, but I didn't ask in detail at the time. It turns out that he is involved in managing such a commercially valuable place with an annual revenue of hundreds of billions of Origin Gold Coins. He is truly richer than a country."
Gabriel then went on to describe in detail the various wondrous facilities inside Paradise City and their generous reward system, which supposedly even offered the possibility of winning rare treasures such as the Creation Artifact and the Creation Godhood.
Chen Ping nodded, confirming his impression of Paradise City. He replied, "That makes sense. No wonder it sounded familiar. Paradise City really is Brother Xiaosai's territory. However, it's less like going to work and more like he's ruling a region with extraordinary influence."
When Gabriel heard Chen Ping mention Black General, she showed a surprised expression: "Black General? You mean that egg-shaped strongman who is all black? So you know him too! Black General is a top-tier existence among the Egg Clan. He is not only the prime minister of the black market, but his strength has also reached the peak level of the Creator God. He is a great figure who is famous all over the world."
I have heard of his legendary deeds in heaven. When he first showed his talent, he suppressed all the forces in the core sea area.
Legend has it that once, a mid-stage Creator God attempted to renege on a debt in the black market. The Black General personally intervened, not only extracting the God's divine essence but also using his divine power, blood, and bones as collateral, leaving only his soul. Such swift and decisive action was astonishing.
After hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but gasp, utterly astonished by Black General's strength and domineering style. He then thought of Handsome Guy and wondered, "If Black General has already reached the peak of the Creator God realm, what about Handsome Guy's strength? Could he also be a Creator God-level expert?"
Chen Ping couldn't help but ask, "Gabriel, do you know Handsome Bro? Hei Dashuai's younger brother."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded. It seemed to make sense. After all, "Handsome Guy" had only recently acquired this name. During the newbie period, "Handsome Guy" was still a numbered name.
After thinking it over, Chen Ping glanced at the length of the line. There were still more than ten people short of their turn. Chen Ping told Gabriel to keep an eye out, and then he started searching in his personal space. He remembered that Brother Xiaosai had also given him a token.
Black Commander gave him a black market token, and it seems that Handsome Bro also gave him a token related to Paradise City.
Before long, Chen Ping found the token among the relatively sparse items in his personal space. It was a golden token with the magnificent city gate of Paradise City exquisitely engraved on the front. This made Chen Ping's heart stir, confirming that this token had a close connection with Paradise City.
When he flipped the token over, he couldn't help but chuckle. There was a smooth, white egg-shaped pattern printed on it, clearly a humorous image of the dashing guy, which contrasted sharply with the style of the black-clad general.
Although the black token given by the Black Commander only vaguely shows a few striking white front teeth patterns if you don't look closely, the two brothers' personalized marks are still very impressive.
After examining it for a few moments, Chen Ping put the token away and then waited with Gabriel.
......
The group moved quickly and soon arrived at Chen Ping and Gabriel. There, a tricolor egg-shaped ticket seller stared at Chen Ping and Gabriel with wide eyes and a notebook in her hands.
He then asked, "Are you two together?"
Chen Ping and Gabriel nodded upon hearing this.
The ticket seller swayed slightly, then made a mark on his notebook before continuing to ask, "Well, have you prepared the tickets yet? Or are you buying them now? But we only have 3-day tickets left. The 7-day, 21-day, and 30-day tickets are sold out. The 3-day tickets are only available because they are unlimited."
As the ticket seller spoke, he pulled out two tokens, similar to the ones that the dashing guy had given to Chen Ping, but these tokens were bronze, with a city gate on one side and the number 3 on the other.
Seeing this, Chen Ping took out the token from the dashing guy and handed it over.
The egg seller gasped upon seeing it, nearly bursting the eggshell, and exclaimed in surprise, "Gold, a golden token?" Turning it over, he hissed, "The city lord?!"
The ticket seller couldn't help but glance at Chen Ping. This unassuming fellow actually possessed a token given by the city lord? A VIP.
The ticket seller quickly handed the token back to Chen Ping and then respectfully said, "Distinguished guests, please. This golden token grants you access to all attractions in the amusement park at a 30% discount."
