"This has nothing to do with you. It's all my own fault." Chen Zhou said to Yuan Ziyi, who was full of apologies. It was true. Just now, he was the one who wanted to take out his token and return it to the old man. He didn't expect that Old Huang was a fraud.
Chen Zhou had followed the old man for so long without noticing this, it seems he was really careless, and carelessness has cost him dearly!
It was all my own carelessness.
Although he lost his battle record and magic coins, Chen Zhou wasn't too upset. These things could be earned back, but if he lost the token, he would truly have nothing left. Chen Zhou was quite fortunate that he hadn't been scammed out of anything else.
It's just some dry data on the tokens; with his current strength, restoring them to their original state would be quite simple. However, Chen Zhou isn't used to challenging others or killing to steal tokens. He's only used to being challenged, playing the fool to outmaneuver others.
"Then what about your battle record and magic coins on your token..." Yuan Ziyi was clearly still somewhat worried about Chen Zhou's battle record on his token.
"It's alright," Chen Zhou said directly, then held up the map in his hand, waved it, and said, "Look! We have a map now..."
In other words, Chen Zhou exchanged his battle record and magic coins for this map, which cost only one magic coin. It seems like he lost out completely, he really lost a lot of money!
Seeing that Yuan Ziyi was still somewhat sad, Chen Zhou didn't say anything more. He simply unfolded the map in front of him, and only then did Chen Zhou get a general idea of the map's overall appearance.
This map is very large, encompassing all the buildings in the entire capital city.
Chen Zhou quickly saw the crossroads they had come from earlier. The three roads at this crossroads led to the city, the residential area, and the management area, respectively.
It was only then that Chen realized that the capital city had actually been divided into three parts!
At this moment, Chen Zhou was not referring to the three regions of the capital city, but rather that these three regions were further divided into three parts, each surrounded by unique fences. It seems that there are probably three factions here, each controlling the capital city and dividing it into three separate areas.
"Judging from this capital city, there are three very powerful forces here. Your Ninth-Level Army wouldn't have such a large force, would it?" Chen Zhou asked casually while looking at the map.
Yuan Ziyi knew nothing about that faction, so she said directly, "I don't know either. I have no information at all. The only information I have is that most of the people in that faction are women."
Chen Zhou thought to himself, "I know that too," and didn't dwell on it. But then he realized that even if the Ninth-Level Army had a lot of influence, they wouldn't establish such a large force in this place, right? If it were such a large and powerful force, why would they be afraid of other forces? Wouldn't it be better to just tell the Ninth-Level Army all the information about this force? In short, such a large force shouldn't have any problem guaranteeing their safety, right?
The fact that this nine-layered army operated so secretly suggests that it's unlikely to be a large, openly operating force. Therefore, Chen Zhou immediately ruled out the three forces.
After removing these three largest factions, there are no more factions on this map, only some shops and stores.
It seems that the other miscellaneous forces will not be shown on this map.
Chen Zhou immediately looked at Yuan Ziyi and asked, "You are more familiar with the capital than I am. Where do you think we should look?"
If Yuan Ziyi knew where to start, she would have taken Chen Zhou there long ago. Obviously, she hadn't found a suitable method yet. Yuan Ziyi said, "I don't have a specific place either. I think we can explore the entire city district first, and then go to our residence."
Upon hearing Yuan Ziyi's words, Chen Zhou immediately agreed, realizing that this was the only option. The two then continued walking forward, their pace slow as they observed both sides and searched for something.
They only stopped when their stomachs started growling.
They were both so engrossed in it that they even forgot they hadn't eaten breakfast.
It's already afternoon.
They haven't had lunch yet.
So now they have to find a place to have a good meal.
However, Chen Zhou's magic coins were already at 0, so he immediately looked at Yuan Ziyi and asked, "How many magic coins do you have left in your token?"
"Having a good meal shouldn't be a problem," Yuan Ziyi said after thinking for a moment. Then the two of them went directly into a restaurant next door, ordered a table full of delicious dishes, and started eating.
Both of them were extremely hungry. Chen Zhou was like someone who hadn't eaten for days. Now that he finally had a meal, he immediately started eating large chunks of food.
Because the two of them ate a lot and ate quickly, Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi finished the food on the table in no time. Just then, Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the restaurant.
"You really saw those two scoundrels go inside?"
The voice coming from outside was clearly that of the man Chen Zhou had just provoked!
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Zhou immediately realized something was wrong. He grabbed Yuan Ziyi's hand and ran into the restaurant. Just then, the people outside came in.
The restaurant owner saw Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi run out the back door and realized that the two hadn't paid their bill. Just as he was about to chase after them, a commotion broke out outside.
"Who told me those two came in? You dare lie to me?" The arrogant man was now causing a huge scene in the restaurant.
"Turn this place upside down! Find those two scoundrels no matter what!"
The restaurant owner was really unlucky. Not only did Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi not pay for their meal, but no matter how he explained it to that person, that person wouldn't listen! And even said that he was protecting that adulterous couple!
After the man searched the entire restaurant, he realized the owner was right; they had escaped through the back door long ago. The two men were speechless, standing dumbfounded inside. The man then led his men and ran out, leaving the restaurant in a mess. No one paid the bill. The owner was heartbroken.
