After watching the middle-aged vendor place all the books on the bookshelf as if they were treasures, he immediately plopped down in a chair and began to take out his token and examine it.
As soon as Chen Zhou entered the house, he plopped down and began to think about what to do next.
Chen Zhou has never been a good planner; he has gotten to where he is today entirely by taking things one step at a time. But now, Chen Zhou believes that if he doesn't plan, the road ahead will become increasingly difficult.
The first issue is the teleportation portal. If Chen Zhou doesn't plan carefully, he could very well lose his life inside. Therefore, Chen Zhou must think long-term. His first thought is that he must understand the teleportation portal in order to develop a corresponding countermeasure.
Those in the Advanced Alliance all entered the ninth level from the tenth level, so their understanding of the eighth level was practically a blank slate.
The people who know the most about the eighth level are undoubtedly the forces of the ninth level, namely the ninth-level army. Chen Zhou regretted not asking more about the teleportation path back then, but then he thought better of it and decided not to ask, because Zhuo Miaoyan didn't seem very willing to answer him.
Because she was afraid that if she continued to answer, it would reveal her worries about Wo Wan.
Chen Zhou had actually figured it all out.
Wo Wan had a good relationship with the Ninth-Level Army and many friends, which is why they cared so much about her. They even deliberately concealed the danger of the teleportation channel when Chen Zhou inquired about it, only finding out after Chen Zhou pressed them further.
However, for some reason, Chen Zhou was not worried about Wo Wan's current situation at all. Chen Zhou believed that this small difficulty would not be a problem for Wo Wan. Moreover, Wo Wan was backed by the Ninth Layer Army. People who knew so much about the Eighth Layer must have some special methods, given their understanding of the teleportation channel.
So the biggest problem now is that he needs to go find Zhuo Miaoyan again to understand the teleportation channel so that Chen Zhou can make plans accordingly.
Furthermore, Chen Zhou wanted to enter the teleportation channel as soon as possible. Although he would have to rely entirely on himself once inside, he still wanted to search for Wo Wan's whereabouts. Perhaps Wo Wan was stuck inside? There was always a chance.
"When do you think it would be a good time for me to go find Zhuo Miaoyan?" Chen Zhou turned to the middle-aged vendor next to him and asked.
The middle-aged merchant had never felt so comfortable since entering Shanghai. He lay sprawled on a large chair, limbs outstretched, seemingly about to drift off to sleep. Fortunately, Chen Zhou's words pulled him out of his reverie.
"It's best if you don't go looking for it for a while," the middle-aged vendor said directly, stating his opinion.
Chen Zhou's original plan was to go look for it tomorrow. Why did this middle-aged merchant say not to look for it during this period of time?
"Why?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.
“That woman, as the leader of the ninth-level army, was defeated by you, and you alone were able to defeat their entire army. This must have been a huge blow to her. If you go now, she definitely won't give you a friendly look. But if you wait a while, until this matter has passed, and everyone forgets, she will forget about it and naturally won't have so many grievances against you. Moreover, I think the woman you're looking for is quite important to her, and she will definitely help you find her,” the middle-aged merchant analyzed.
Hearing the middle-aged vendor's analysis, Chen Zhou nodded silently, as if what he said made some sense.
"So what should I do during this time?" Chen Zhou asked directly, asking how long this period of time would actually last.
"For now, you should just stay with me and create magic coins, and explore the shops in the Magic City together! There are lots of good things there, which might be useful to you, and might even be very helpful in entering the teleportation portal," the middle-aged merchant tempted Chen Zhou.
The middle-aged merchant's proudest skill was creating magic coins; he could double the magic coins. According to what Chen Zhou had learned from the middle-aged merchant, this merchant could double the magic coins, which simply meant he could create magic coins.
This skill can be described as extremely powerful.
To be honest, Chen Zhou was also very eager to learn, and immediately said, "You want to teach me?"
Chen Zhou looked at the middle-aged vendor with utmost sincerity. The vendor, who was lying comfortably, glanced at Chen Zhou and said directly, "Dream on."
Seeing the middle-aged vendor's reaction, Chen Zhou didn't persist in pestering him. After all, such things couldn't be forced. It might be someone else's livelihood, and it could even save the middle-aged vendor's life in a critical moment. If Chen Zhou learned it now, it would definitely have an impact on the middle-aged vendor.
"Don't misunderstand, the reason I'm not teaching you isn't for any other reason. It's because although this loophole isn't big, if multiple people discover it, it's very likely to be discovered in Shanghai. Right now, only I discovered this loophole, and only I'm using it, so it's very difficult for Shanghai to find out. If I teach you, the risk of us both being discovered using this loophole together increases significantly. If Shanghai finds out about this, neither of us will have a good ending," the middle-aged vendor said immediately, seeing Chen Zhou's somewhat disappointed expression.
Chen Zhou didn't know what the punishment would be, but he figured it would be severe. Even the rules of the ten-level battle arena, if broken, would result in immediate death. Creating magic coins was clearly even more egregious; not only would it cost him his life, but there would likely be other, even more serious punishments.
Chen Zhou couldn't think of any other punishment more severe than losing his life.
