Where would such a large population come from? Where would such local tyrants exist? Where would oppressed farmers be found?
"I really don't know," Chen Zhou said honestly. Indeed, he was completely clueless about the concept of day and night.
"That's probably because no one has explained it to you yet. The time on the eighth floor is determined by the sky at this moment. If the sun is directly overhead, that's noon. You see, the sun is almost directly overhead now. So it's almost noon. After that, just look to the left or right. If it's to the left, it's still morning; if it's to the right, it's afternoon," Yuan Ziyi explained based on her perspective.
Chen Zhou nodded silently. At this moment, Chen Zhou was also standing from Yuan Ziyi's perspective. Indeed, from her perspective, the sun was just a little to the left of the top of her head, almost reaching its highest point.
So that's how it was determined.
Chen Zhou gained even more knowledge.
"Do you know whether the sun and moon are real or fake?" Chen Zhou asked. He had noticed the sun and moon as soon as he entered the eighth level and had been wanting to ask someone on the eighth level about it for a long time. Now he finally had the opportunity.
But it seems that Yuan Ziyi also came up from the ninth floor, just like him. In fact, she hasn't been in the eighth floor for very long.
Moreover, she has always lived in Ningwuzhuang, so to be honest, she probably wouldn't know such profound things.
As expected, Yuan Ziyi's answer disappointed Chen Zhou.
“I really don’t know. I was also very curious about this at the time, but people like us who were assigned to farm in Ningwuzhuang really don’t have the right to know such profound things,” Yuan Ziyi said.
"So it seems that only those who enter that capital city are qualified to know about such things?" Chen Zhou said slowly.
“But even if you get into the capital, you might not know. Only if you actually enter the organization that holds power in the capital will you have a chance to know these things. But I believe that with your strength, those forces will definitely be vying for you,” Yuan Ziyi said.
Yuan Ziyi had been to the capital once and already knew about its current situation.
Chen Zhou knew nothing about the situation in this capital city.
"What forces? There are many forces in the capital?" Chen Zhou asked casually.
Chen Zhou originally believed that there was only one power in the capital, but he didn't know what that power was.
“Of course not, there are many powerful forces in the capital,” Yuan Ziyi said.
Just as Chen Zhou was about to continue asking Yuan Ziyi about the situation in the capital, the young man arrived with the middle-aged merchant, who was now surrounded by several people.
The only one Chen Zhou recognized was the one with the scarred face.
Chen Zhou didn't recognize the rest.
Afterwards, Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi followed the middle-aged vendor to a place to eat. After having lunch, the vendor dismissed the people around him.
"I'm very relieved to hand over the Advanced Alliance to you now," Chen Zhou said, looking at the middle-aged vendor. At first, Chen Zhou was worried that the vendor wouldn't adapt to the atmosphere, but now it seemed that the vendor was very comfortable.
"Managing things like this is my forte. Although I'm in business, I have some unique experience in managing my subordinates. Leave the Advanced Alliance to me, you don't need to worry about it. When you come back, the Advanced Alliance will definitely be the successfully reorganized Advanced Alliance," the middle-aged merchant replied.
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Now we're about to set off."
The original plan was to leave after breakfast, but he overslept and didn't leave until lunchtime. This was different from Chen Zhou's original plan, and Chen Zhou didn't like it, so he naturally had to leave immediately.
"Okay. I'll take you there?" the middle-aged vendor said.
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "No need. You are now the deputy leader of the Advanced Alliance. What's the point of giving people away?"
"Is there a problem with the deputy leader escorting the leader?" the middle-aged merchant asked with a dry laugh.
"There's a big problem. Even if you become the deputy leader, don't lose your skills. Once I can use demonic energy, I'll still need to go to that Magic City store." Chen Zhou reminded the middle-aged merchant before leaving, meaning that he should prepare the demonic coins in advance.
The middle-aged vendor was taken aback for a moment when he heard Chen Zhou's words, but then immediately replied, "Hahaha, okay."
After a simple farewell, the middle-aged merchant, upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, did not see the two off. Watching them slowly disappear into the crowd, the middle-aged merchant turned around and went about his business. Meeting Chen Zhou had completely changed his life. Would he be able to return to Tianyun Continent to see his wife and children before he died?
The middle-aged merchant wasn't sure if he'd have the chance, but at that moment, he had a strange feeling that Chen Zhou definitely would! He would surely become the Demon Lord and leave this place. Leave this place of trouble.
Although he and I are partners in a sense now, when the time comes, he will hand over everything he owns in Shanghai to me, and then he can leave Shanghai.
The middle-aged vendor thought to himself, but strangely enough, he didn't feel any discomfort afterward.
It seems I've gotten used to this kind of life.
In Shanghai, it's normal for people around you to leave one by one.
