Chapter 706 A Special Trade Fair
"This reward is exactly what I wanted."
Chu Yang couldn't help but grin, revealing his large, white teeth.
They are currently on the run and what they need most is funding that can be investigated.
This anonymous account can help him obtain large sums of money while ensuring sufficient security.
Not long after, Chu Yang discovered that he was able to leave his private space.
The scene then reappeared in a public library.
At the same time, not long after, Miss Hugh also appeared in the public space.
When Chu Yang forgot about it, he noticed that Miss Xiu's expression was also one of great surprise and delight; she had clearly obtained the potion recipe she had been dreaming of.
But upon closer inspection, one can even detect a hint of inner conflict in Miss Hugh's eyes.
After tasting it, Chu Yang was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It turns out that on the previous floor, Miss Hugh obtained the name of a key ingredient in the potion recipe for the sheriff sequence she wanted to pursue next.
Among the rewards she received, she obtained the complete potion recipe.
This means that part of the rewards she received overlapped between the two occasions, which naturally made Miss Hugh very conflicted, and she even felt that she had lost out.
Chu Yang comforted him, somewhat amused, "If it weren't for the maze space, you probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the recipe in a short time. What's there to worry about?"
Miss Hugh then looked as if she had just realized something, and then secretly scolded herself with some shame.
Following the normal procedure, it would be very difficult for her to obtain the potion recipe in a short period of time.
Now, the three of them have acquired invaluable knowledge so easily while carrying out their mission.
She really couldn't keep thinking about things so unsatisfactorily.
Mr. Abdu, who had just finished talking with Chu Yang and his companion and was about to run away, couldn't help but approach with a serious expression.
"Thank you both for your help this time. I will transfer the payment to Manhattan according to the contract, and he will pay you accordingly."
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded nonchalantly, after all, he and Miss Xiu had already received their payment in advance.
Moreover, having obtained that anonymous bill earlier, he had no need to obtain new funds from Mr. Abdul.
He always felt that this Mr. Abdul didn't seem so simple, and he didn't want to get too entangled with this guy.
"Mr. Abdul, may we choose to enter the labyrinth space again next time? Of course, we will probably need to use the portal you left in the school."
Although that door did not belong exclusively to Mr. Abdul, he found it many years ago.
Without knowing anything about this guy, it's essential to give him a heads-up beforehand, have a friendly conversation, and ask for his assistance.
In this situation, Mr. Abdul nodded meaningfully and said with a smile, "Of course, I would very much welcome you to come here again."
"We can become sworn brothers again next time. According to the information we have, the difficulty of the crisis will continue to increase from the 6th level onwards."
Mr. Abdul said this, and he also understood the meaning behind Chu Yang's words: their exploration could only end here.
In fact, if Chu Yang and his companion hadn't wanted to stop here, he would have liked to continue exploring.
At worst, he'll die on the next floor; he can just come back in a month.
However, without the help of Chu Yang and the other person, it would have been an insurmountable difficulty for him to pass the next level.
Therefore, he had no need to continue to the next level to be tortured.
In fact, Chu Yang had considered continuing to the next level.
At the entrance to the next level that we can see so far, there is a stone tablet inscribed with Fergus's secret language.
There are several special rules listed above.
What Chu Yang found most unacceptable was that if he died during the trial once he entered the sixth level, he would also die in real life.
He would never try to find hope of survival here unless he encountered an absolute crisis.
Since this labyrinthine secret realm was entirely created by Emperor Roselle, that ancient person who also traveled from the modern era.
That guy went crazy in the later stages, but his abilities were incredibly powerful.
No matter how terrifying the truth that guy was hiding deep in the maze, Chu Yang was not surprised at all.
He didn't need to gamble on what kind of foreshadowing a powerful madman might lay.
Of course, it's also possible that the sign is deliberately designed to scare away newcomers.
However, he didn't need to risk his life to try and verify it.
The sign even stated that if one were to enter the next level, all extraordinary abilities would be suppressed to the training stage or below.
With the help of his pure white eyes, he could be considered to have indirectly enhanced his abilities.
However, these are things we'll need to consider when we enter the 6th floor again.
After Chu Yang explained the contents of Ferguson's secret message to the two of them, Miss Hugh, who was standing to the side, also insisted on leaving.
He had not yet succeeded in avenging his father and family, so there was no way he would easily put himself in danger here.
"Since you all want to leave, let me take you back. I want to stay here and continue to study the matter of private space."
Mr. Abdul did not criticize their decision; instead, he watched them with a smile as they prepared to leave.
He personally walked to a bookshelf in the library, chanted a few spells, and then pulled out several books in a clockwise order.
Then a very bright gate of light appeared in front of the two of them.
Before leaving through the portal, Chu Yang hurriedly asked, "Mr. Abdul, when is the next trade fair held at your tavern?"
After all, the materials he needs for his promotion will be available in that tavern, so he naturally has to pay attention to them.
"The trade fair will proceed as scheduled in three days."
"So you'll probably have to stay here for a few more days."
Mr. Abdu cheerfully introduced to Chu Yang the specific scale of the trade fairs he frequently organized, as well as the number and identities of the attendees.
He didn't put much effort into trade fairs before, but over time, his trade fairs have grown to a certain scale.
When this matter was mentioned, Mr. Abdul naturally became very proud.
Organizing such an underground gathering of extraordinary individuals, and making it a significant event, is not something an ordinary extraordinary individual could accomplish.
That is why Chu Yang has always kept his distance from this Mr. Abdul and never let his guard down easily.
If it weren't for obtaining the main materials needed for the next stage of potion production, he would never have easily participated in this so-called gathering of extraordinary individuals.
According to the information retrieved from his storyline, even Mr. Fool never participated in the Extraordinary Trade Fair organized by Mr. Abdul.
This also caused Chu Yang to lose his precognitive abilities and advantage of knowing the plot in advance.
This was already a risk to some extent for Chu Yang's life philosophy.
"By the way, the Extraordinary Ones Trade Fair is already quite large. Hasn't it attracted any attention from the local church?"
Miss Hugh, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.
This is a port city, and the port is very large.
Within this port city, the power of different religious sects is intertwined.
Logically speaking, an education program of this scale could never truly conceal its true nature.
"Although this port has a very large passenger capacity, the number of people living here year-round is not large, so there are no actual church personnel stationed here."
"At most, there are always some squads of Punishers who only know how to fight and complete missions every day."
"Those guys also need enough extraordinary materials to advance themselves, so they naturally turn a blind eye to the trade fair."
Mr. Abdul said this with great pride and confidence.
This made Chu Yang feel a chill run down his spine once again.
According to Mr. Abdul, this trade fair has probably become a semi-official open trade fair to some extent.
After all, if even members of the Punisher Squad can openly participate, what secrets could this trade fair possibly hold?
But this is good, as it ensures his and Miss Hugh's safety at the trade fair.
Seeing that Chu Yang and his companion seemed very worried about the safety of participating in the transaction, Mr. Abdu emphasized the need for further explanation.
This is because it is a large port city and small town cluster overseas.
This area was also considered a colony of the Kingdom of Backlund.
With a relatively small population, various factions in the city are unwilling to invest too much effort in it.
Of course, this only refers to the city proper, but in the port area, there are quite a few people sent by each side.
However, those people would never easily venture into the city's territory; this was considered an agreement and rule between them and certain local forces.
"Since you're acquaintances in Manhattan, you're not outsiders either. I can tell you that I've also joined a local religious sect."
"I'm also one of the sect's representatives here, so the Punisher Squad and the others naturally won't cause me any trouble."
In the end, Mr. Abdul became more and more cheerful.
He became increasingly unguarded around Chu Yang and Miss Xiu.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Yang's vigilance grew even stronger.
"It seems that Mr. Abdul still has some expectations for the two of us, otherwise why would he be so nice to us?"
After I came into this world, I understood a principle.
Only when one extraordinary being is of sufficient use to the other can the two live in harmony.
Otherwise, in most cases, without the constraints of kinship, many extraordinary individuals would completely turn against each other in the face of sufficient interests, and would be prepared to betray their opponents from the very beginning.
After gathering enough information, Chu Yang left the maze without hesitation through the portal.
He also made up his mind that once he had enough ability to protect himself, he must re-enter this place.
Based on his guess, a very important card is definitely hidden deep within this maze.
That was a blasphemous card created by Emperor Roselle.
That place holds one of the secrets to becoming a god.
Regardless of which path to godhood was recorded on that card, it was extremely important to him.
Even the Fool Klein desperately needs to obtain the contents of the Blasphemy Card.
However, Klein has not yet discovered the existence of the Blasphemy Card.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Yang led Miss Xiu away.
He and Miss Hugh then moved in here as detectives, and for three days they carried out small tasks for the local residents.
In this way, the two are also earning enough money to support themselves.
Although they had already obtained a sum of money from the labyrinthine secret realm.
However, when it comes to funds, the more the better.
Miss Hugh has also had a very fulfilling few days.
Besides helping Chu Yang with his missions and acquiring funds, she also frequently went out on her own to search for clues about the ingredients in the potion recipe that would allow her to become a sheriff.
This was a clue she had finally obtained to advance to the next stage of the Extraordinary.
Now she just wants to improve her abilities as quickly as possible.
Moreover, since the two are currently on the run and fleeing from disaster, having more strength would also ensure their safety.
Miss Hugh always remembered what Mr. Manhattan had said when she left: if she wanted to return safely, she needed the strength of two people, not just Chu Yang alone.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Chu Yang also learned that Mr. Abdu frequently entered the secret realm.
Moreover, Mr. Abdul seemed to be in very poor mental condition, and it was obvious that he was constantly exploring the 789th floor of the secret realm.
Judging from his mental state, he must have experienced frequent failures during this period, which explains his current dejection.
On the day the trade fair was held as scheduled, Chu Yang arrived at the bar early in the evening and secured a good spot.
Of course, entering this bar also requires a rather secret code.
Chu Yang and his companion didn't need to worry about any of this; Mr. Abdu had already personally told them the corresponding code.
Chu Yang and Miss Xiu even deliberately ruined two unremarkable outfits.
Even Miss Hugh's hair had been tidied up into a mess.
The two looked at each other and realized they couldn't even see each other's true faces, so they gave up, satisfied.
Chu Yang currently has several hundred gold pounds in his possession.
As for the deposit slip obtained earlier, it cannot be cashed out quickly here.
The city is far too small.
Without sufficient security, he did not want to leave the city and go to the port to exchange money.
Therefore, he could only hope that these few hundred gold pounds would help him achieve his goal. (End of Chapter)
