Doomsday: Starting from the Titanic

Chapter 76 I'm Rich, I Can Be Willful

There was a flurry of discussion at the entrance of the Boundless Land, with many people waiting to see Fu Xi and his group make a fool of themselves.

Pushing through the crowd, Fu Xi was stopped by the faceless masked man as soon as she reached the door. "Stop! Show me your blood essence or get out!"

The masked man's cold voice rang out, and immediately, people around turned to look at Fu Xi and the others, waiting to see them get a beating.

"Haha, just as expected, another penniless bum who knows nothing!" The tattooed man shouted the loudest.

"Do you think they could produce that? I doubt it. Just look at their clothes...tsk tsk, how could they possibly..."

"Yeah, the more arrogant they were before, the more embarrassed they'll be later..."

However, before the other person could finish speaking, gasps of surprise immediately came from the surrounding area.

"What? He passed?"

"Just who is he? He actually has a thousand blood essences! You know, even one of these strange beings is difficult enough to kill, yet he's killed a thousand!"

"He...he really has a thousand blood essences!" The tattooed man gaped, his eyes fixed on the blood essences in Fu Xi's hand.

Fu Xi, with a calm expression, asked the masked man, "Is this alright?"

The masked man nodded, made way for her, and handed Fuxi a token.

"Honorable guest, please enter. This is your exclusive token; the boundless land will always welcome you!"

"Number two?" Fu Xi took the token from her hand and examined it carefully.

"Looks like someone else went in before me!" Fu Xi realized, took back her token, and walked inside, with Yu Wenwen and the others following closely behind.

"Xiao Fu, let me see that token..." Yu Wenwen cast a curious glance, but the next moment he was blocked by a cold, large hand.

"What are you doing? Didn't you show me your blood essence?" Fu Xi stared coldly at the masked man.

"I'm sorry, esteemed guest, you've only shown your own. If you want them all to enter, you'll need to show six thousand blood essences!" the masked man said.

Yu Wenwen immediately bristled, "We're together, why do we all have to show our documents?"

"Wouldn't a thousand blood essences suffice?"

"Excuse me, these are the rules. Also, please don't shout, or I'll kick you out as an enemy!" The masked man's gaze remained icy.

"You..." Yu Wenwen's face flushed red with anger, and the envious mentality of those around her resurfaced.

"I knew it! How could you possibly be so rich all by yourself!"

"Turns out it was a bunch of people piecing together a bunch of stuff. I thought it was some rich kid!"

"Tsk tsk, only one out of seven people went in, how embarrassing! What about the remaining six thousand blood essences?"

"As expected, my attempt to show off failed... and..." Before the tattooed man could finish speaking, the scene before him shattered his worldview once again.

Without wasting any words, Fu Xi immediately took out another four thousand blood essences from her pocket, and then Lu Lin also took out two thousand blood essences.

The blood essence was covered in dust, clearly having accumulated for a long time. "Here are two thousand units of blood essence. Count them!"

Lu Lin's expression was solemn as he held the blood essence in his hands, as if afraid of dropping a piece!

Fu Xi took in the whole scene and thought to herself, "Lu Lin's convoy is nothing special, but to accumulate so much blood essence, quite a few people must have died..."

Fu Xi withdrew her gaze, and then everyone else had an extra token in their hands.

"Dear guests, please come in! This boundless land will always welcome you!"

"Hey, I have Xiao Fu too, so you're not special anymore!" Yu Wenwen shook the token in her hand, which clearly had a six on it.

As Fu Xi and her group gradually disappeared into the distance, the people outside watched with envy.

"Damn it, seven thousand blood essences! That's seven thousand blood essences! How could they have so many?"

"Heaven is unjust! Is there any kind soul who can help me?"

"Seven thousand bizarre creatures—what kind of power would it take to kill them all?"

"So much blood essence, even some large convoys might not be able to manage that! Could he be from headquarters?"

……

Walking down the street, the surroundings were incredibly quiet, and what came into view was a place that resembled a small town.

"Hey, the architectural style here looks like something from the last century," Lu Lin said seriously, frowning.

"Oh, Lu Lin, you know about this?" Fu Xi looked at Lu Lin curiously.

"Of course, look at the style of this house, it's all made of wood, and there's the peony pattern on the wall! This is definitely from the Republic of China era!"

Following Lu Lin's gaze, Fu Xi indeed discovered many ancient Chinese elements.

"Huh? You're not kidding, are you? It's been over a hundred years since the Republic of China!" Yu Wenwen said dismissively.

"Are you kidding? Our captain never jokes. Isn't what we're seeing right now the truth?" Su Rong pointed disdainfully at the surrounding walls.

"Hmph, maybe it's just a random patchwork..." Yu Wenwen cried out in pain before she could finish her sentence.

"Ouch, Fuxi, why did you stop?" Yu Wenwen slumped to the ground, clutching her head, her gaze fixed on Fuxi, who remained motionless in front of her.

"I've discovered something strange!" Fu Xi said gravely.

The others also gathered around, their eyes fixed on the scene ahead.

"Xiao Fu, what's so interesting about a female statue? Do you like this statue? How about we pack it up and take it all..."

Before Yu Wenwen could finish speaking, Fu Xi flicked her forehead.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Yu Wenwen covered her head, looking aggrieved.

Fu Xi did not turn around, her gaze fixed on the female statue in front of her.

The woman had a smile in her eyes, wore a green cheongsam, and exuded an air of nobility.

"I think Lu Lin is right. If the surrounding buildings are just a random patchwork, then what about this statue?" Fu Xi said solemnly.

"Nobody would be so idle as to create a statue, especially one featuring such a beautiful woman!"

"This also shows that the person who placed the statue did so intentionally, and the fact that it was not covered in dust indicates that it was carefully cleaned not long ago."

"Moreover, this place is located in the center of the Boundless Land, which means that the person who built this statue must have a very high status in the Boundless Land!" Fu Xi continued.

"Wait..." A sense of horror arose in everyone's hearts.

"It was just cleaned up not long ago, so... so does that mean this place has existed since the Republic of China era?" Yu Wenwen said, trembling.

"Furthermore... if we're going to do the math, it's been 189 years since the Republic of China era, right? So, does that mean the person who saw this statue is still alive?"

The air was deathly silent, and everyone's eyes were on Yu Wenwen.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong in my analysis?" Yu Wenwen looked at Ru Hua and the others in horror.

"That's right. If the person who repaired this thing is still alive, is he still human?" Ru Hua raised a bold question.

"Don't forget where you are. Maybe they're not even human anymore."

"And haven't you noticed that we've been walking for so long and still haven't found it..."

Before Fuxi could finish speaking, a rustling sound immediately came from the surroundings.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"
