Chapter 321: The Structure of Windless City
There were quite a lot of people in the restaurant. The first floor was full of people, and each of them looked like no ordinary person.
Of course, those who can come to the Abyss to level up and gain experience need to be at least level 6, so this can be said to be the place with the most powerful people besides Tianguan.
When Zhao Chuandong brought Su Ren in, the originally noisy first floor suddenly became quiet. Everyone put down their chopsticks and bowed to Zhao Chuandong.
"Hello, City Lord Zhao!"
"How come City Lord Zhao has time to eat today ?"
"City Lord Zhao, we still have room here, would you like to come over and eat something together?"
Su Ren tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Chuandong. He didn't expect that he, the city lord, would be so popular among the people here.
It is probably also related to his generous personality.
Zhao Chuandong bowed and smiled:
"Haha, don't worry about me, just eat your own food."
"I brought a friend here to try our specialties."
After Zhao Chuandong finished speaking, he said to Su Ren, "Let's go to the second floor. I have already asked the boss to reserve a private room for us."
"good!"
Suren nodded and followed.
"Hey, who is that kid behind City Lord Zhao? Do you know him? How dare he come to the underground city at this age?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen it."
"Maybe it's some big boss's kid who came to see the world in advance? Didn't you see our City Lord Zhao personally receive him?"
"Forget it, forget it. Let's eat quickly and then go to Ruyifang to gamble."
The decoration on the second floor of the restaurant was much more elegant than that on the first floor. The restaurant was not full and a few tables were empty.
When the people here saw Zhao Chuandong, they also greeted him before continuing to eat.
Zhao Chuandong skillfully took Su Ren into a private room and sat down. Soon a waiter came in with a menu.
"No need to order, just order one of the three specialties, and the rest will be what I normally eat."
"Okay, City Lord Zhao, I'll arrange it for you right away!"
After the waiter left, Zhao Chuandong told the people who followed him to sit down together, then looked at Su Ren and said:
"Are you curious as to why people here don't seem to know you?"
"No, I'm not a famous person. Isn't it normal that they don't know me?"
Zhao Chuandong was surprised when he heard Su Ren's words.
He originally thought that someone like Su Ren, who became famous at a young age, would be somewhat conceited and arrogant.
But judging from Su Ren's performance, he really doesn't care about these things.
"You are indeed different from others!"
After Zhao Chuandong praised him, he continued:
"In fact, in our underground city, we know very little about the outside world."
"Unlike the outside world, where there is internet and signal, information communication basically relies on words. In addition, it is not easy for people who come here to upgrade, so many people stay here for several years."
"If you want to know the information about the outside world, most of it depends on word of mouth from outsiders."
"That's not right. I just told President Wu this morning that I was coming to the dungeon. How did you receive his message so quickly?"
Suren was a little confused.
It’s impossible that Wu Zhengyang had arrived at the abyss before me, right?
"Haha, you're talking about this. Actually, there is a way to quickly send messages, but this method is not used unless it encounters a major event, because it costs too much and ordinary people can't afford it."
Suren nodded.
"One more thing. Although you are powerful, everyone in the city should try to maintain peace."
"As you can see in this abyss, the environment here is somewhat depressing. If people stay in this environment for a long time, the pressure cannot be released and they will become irritable and angry."
“So the people here are actually more emotionally unstable.”
"If they accidentally bump into you, please show some mercy and just teach them a lesson."
"Don't worry, as long as it's not too extreme, I won't kill you."
"Thank you very much, Brother Suren!"
Zhao Chuandong bowed to Su Ren.
It can be seen that he, as the city lord, cares very much about the people in the city. No wonder he is so respected.
"You may be wondering, if they are under so much pressure, why don't they go back outside to recuperate for a while before coming back?"
"In fact, it's mainly a cost issue. The teleportation array here costs tens of millions of dollars each time. Most people are not willing to spend that much money."
“So few people travel back and forth between the two places frequently, and there are not many entertainment venues in the city.”
"Eating, drinking and gambling are the only way to relieve stress here."
"As for prostitution, it is strictly prohibited here. As for the other three things, I won't care."
After hearing this, Su Ren roughly understood the basic structure of this abyss dungeon.
But there are still some things I don't understand. I don't understand why Zhao Chuandong wants to protect them.
After all, they are not related to each other, so there is no need for him, as a city lord, to be so concerned, right?
"City Lord Zhao, if you let them go like this, aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble?"
When Zhao Chuandong his eyes became blank and he seemed to be lost in his memories.
"It has been five years since I took over Windless City. During these five years, as many as 11,237 people have died under the city walls in order to protect Windless City."
"They are all warriors who died to protect Windless City and our Dragon Country from being invaded by monsters from the abyss."
"In my heart, every one of them is a hero."
"After they die, I can't do anything for them except mourning, but when they are still alive, I can at least make them live a little happier, and that's enough."
"As long as they don't get into big trouble, I will do my best to help them and prevent them from suffering too much."
Speaking of this, Zhao Chuandong sighed slightly.
Watching so many lives die in front of him, he was powerless to do anything. No one could understand the pain he felt.
This was the only way he could repay those who were still alive.
Looking at the person in front of him, Su Ren was filled with awe.
The fact that he could clearly remember how many people died showed that he truly felt sorry for those who died.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhao Chuandong forced a smile, looked at Su Ren and said:
"If it doesn't affect your mission this time, I hope you can kill more abyss monsters, brother Su, so that maybe fewer people will die this year."
"Just think of it as me, Zhao Chuandong, begging you."
After Zhao Chuandong finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Su Ren.
"City Lord!"
Seeing this, the people who followed him also hurriedly stood up.
When had they ever seen their city lord begging others like this? They knew it was for their own good.
But they always feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the man in front of him, Su Ren was somewhat moved.
Zhao Chuandong is the person who cares and values his subordinates the most among all the people he has met.
It is truly admirable that he could put aside his status as an 8th-rank professional and the city lord to ask for help from a young man like him.
"Brother Zhao, we are all Dragon people. As long as I can help you, I will never refuse. You don't have to be like this."
"Thank you, Brother Su!"
"If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Hearing Su Ren's call, Zhao Chuandong felt a lot more at ease.
