I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1898 - 1891: I’ll Help You Make Some Money

"Grilled sausage?" Donak looked at Zhang Menglong, bewildered, "What’s that?"

"You’ll find out then!" Zhang Menglong said, "It’s a delicacy beyond your imagination!"

"Delicacy? Food?" Donak’s expression suddenly turned somewhat disappointed. Food wasn’t considered valuable throughout the Endless Land because it’s not a necessity; how could it help them earn money?

...

Luosai Fortress City is very far from their survival team. The direction they headed was not towards Luosai Fortress City but to a teleportation point.

For the convenience of travel between all cities and survival teams in the Endless Land, all Fortress Cities have expended tremendous manpower and resources to establish Teleportation Arrays at various locations, evenly distributed throughout the Endless Land.

For this grand project, the Array Masters of the Endless Land spent millions of years completing it, and it could almost be called a miracle project.

Due to the abundance of energy in the Endless Land, these formations do not require energy supplements, relying entirely on the free-floating energy in the air for self-maintenance; repairs are only necessary when severely damaged.

After flying about two hours, they reached the nearest Teleportation Array to Luosai Fortress City. From a distance, it looked like a golden pillar standing between heaven and earth, with torrents of energy from the ground pointing towards the sky.

Apart from the two of them, there seemed to be others coming from different directions; everyone greeted each other and then walked into the power of the Teleportation Array.

With a powerful tearing force, the two were quickly pushed out from another location by another force. Zhang Menglong was a bit stunned when he looked up.

Until now, he had been to numerous battlefields, seen many cities and fortresses, but had never seen a gigantic entity like this city before.

The walls of Luosai Fortress City alone exceeded ten thousand meters in height; Zhang Menglong stood only a few hundred meters away from it, the visual impact of such a giant made him momentarily forget to walk.

"Spectacular, isn’t it?" Donak patted Zhang Menglong’s shoulder, "I felt the same way the first time I came here; do you know why its walls are built so high?"

Zhang Menglong shook his head.

"Because near the area where Luosai Fortress City is built, there’s a nest of giant Phantom Profound Beasts," Donak said, "Energy creatures thousands to tens of thousands of meters high periodically assault Luosai Fortress City. If the walls aren’t high enough, the city couldn’t withstand the external assaults."

"Ten thousand-meter Phantom Profound Beast?" Zhang Menglong had only seen giant Phantom Profound Beasts in his most primal universe and had never seen such large creatures in the three worlds of this Main World.

"These city walls aren’t just high," Donak added, "They’re also two to three thousand meters thick. To gather enough materials, the city’s creators spared no effort. To be honest, whatever luxury they enjoy now, they earned through their past hard work."

"Let’s go!" Donak nudged Zhang Menglong, "There’s more intriguing stuff inside, though we can stay at most for three days. The entry fee is based on the entrant’s Life Levels. My realm reached Dao Realm, so I can freely enter and exit for free, but you, being only Divine Cultivator Ninth Grade, need to pay one Level Five Crystal Core per day."

"However, each Dao Realm Martial Artist can bring 10 people for free, so this time, you won’t need to."

Dao Realm experts are respected everywhere; there’s even a dedicated passage. Zhang Menglong followed Donak through the VIP passage into the city.

"Oh my!"

The city’s interior gave Zhang Menglong the first impression of being impregnable. From roads to buildings, everything shimmered with a metallic sheen, clearly made of extremely strong metal materials.

"It’s a type of high-strength memory metal," Donak said, "Even after deformation, it can return to its original shape under certain conditions. This city’s area is too vast; spatial displacements occur 3-5 times a year, each causing some degree of damage to the city. Without this material to construct the city, it would be quite problematic."

"True," Zhang Menglong followed Donak, "What are we buying this time?"

"I need to purchase 150,000 Soul Shard Suppressors. The rest includes some energy supplements, healing medicine, and some miscellaneous items," Donak said, "There are various ways to purchase other things, but Soul Shard Suppressors are exclusively controlled by all Fortress City Lords."

Walking along, Zhang Menglong saw a bustling urban scene, though it was accompanied by some messiness.

"The city’s population is quite large?"

"Very large," Donak replied, "After all, no one wants to live unsteadily. Luosai Fortress City’s area is about ten times that of a typical Ninth Grade Empire, but the population is about 50 times that of a Ninth Grade Empire, making real estate prices here exceptionally high."

"How expensive?"

"For a 100-year lease, even in the ordinary outer areas, the price per square meter reaches 500 Ninth Grade Crystal Cores. Even with space-folding technology, a house’s land area needs to be 5-10 square meters, and thousands of Ninth Grade Crystal Cores—a Divine Cultivator Peak Martial Artist would find it quite difficult to gather."

"Indeed," Zhang Menglong smiled bitterly, "It might take years or even more than a decade to buy a small house here."

"But Dao Realm Martial Artists like us have preferential policies; as long as we live in the Fortress City, there’s free housing. However, we’re required to act during spatial displacement events and Phantom Profound Beast sieges."

"Let’s go, ahead is where Soul Shard Suppressors are sold," Donak pointed at the massive building in front of him, "There are hundreds of such sales points in the city, but they’re all under the unified management of the City Lord."

"Security’s very tight," Gou Dan told Zhang Menglong, there were actually hundreds of Dao Realm experts within the building, highlighting the importance of these Soul Shard Suppressors.

"Mr. Donak," a person welcomed them as they entered the building, "How many Soul Shard Suppressors are you looking to buy this time?"

"I need 150,000 doses." Donak greeted him like an old friend.

"This is the account manager here," Donak explained, "I usually deal with him; after working together for a while, I get some internal discounts, saving around ten Ninth Grade Crystal Cores."

"Why bring a young friend today?" The account manager smiled, "Is it to broaden your horizons in the city?"

"Yes," Donak nodded, "We’ll explore outside for a bit first."

"Standard procedure, give me three hours."

"Alright!"

Handing over the Crystal Cores, Donak took Zhang Menglong out of the trading post.

"Brother, is there a place where we can freely set up stalls?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yes," Donak pointed ahead, "There’s a free market there. With a management fee, you can sell anything you want, except contraband. Planning to buy something?"

"No," Zhang Menglong patted his pocket, "Didn’t I say, let’s first go earn some money; we’ll sell grilled sausages now!"
