637: Chapter 637 Fighting Arena
This powerful Aura rushing towards them made many people feel alarmed.
Regarding this, Xiao Weiqing showed no fear and nodded calmly.
"Mm, this is my first time here."
"Very good."
"Third, give him an Identity Plate."
"Yes, Commander."
The Yao Race bull threw out a black Identity Plate, which was identical to the one the bald old man had previously; the only difference was likely the string of numbers on the back of the Identity Plate.
"Thank you."
Xiao Weiqing said softly.
"Thank you?"
The Yao Race bull captain was stunned for a moment, then grinned, his expression ferocious.
"Interesting!"
"However, you cannot take this Identity Plate just by saying thank you."
Xiao Weiqing nodded.
"So, how much?"
"1 million."
The Yao Race bull captain said coldly.
"Hiss~~"
The others in line gasped; this Yao Race bull captain had quite an appetite, and they all thought Xiao Weiqing was about to be in trouble.
Xiao Weiqing sneered inwardly; 1 million Universe Coins was equivalent to 1000 credits, and this Yao Race bull captain really dared to ask for it.
He was simply treating him like a sucker.
Xiao Weiqing shook his head and said seriously:
"Before coming to the Ember Realm, someone told me that an Identity Plate is only worth 100,000."
Hearing this.
The Yao Race bull captain laughed loudly.
At this moment, he finally understood that the Star Lord before him, who was pretending to be calm, was just a guy who knew nothing and dared to put on an act in front of him.
"I make the rules today."
"The Identity Plate has been given to you, pay up!"
A sharp reprimand.
Two more Yao Race bulls walked over and vaguely surrounded Xiao Weiqing; it was obvious that these Yao Race bulls intended to force a sale.
Seeing this, Xiao Weiqing still did not panic; instead, he turned his body to look left and right.
Then his mouth curled up slightly, and he said again:
"Before coming to the Ember Realm, someone else told me that in the Ember Realm, strength and profit are paramount."
As he spoke.
Xiao Weiqing put the Identity Plate away.
Everyone saw Xiao Weiqing put away the Identity Plate and assumed he was backing down, intending to swallow this bitter pill.
Suddenly.
A cold light flashed.
"Puchi~~"
A huge bull head flew up, and the headless bull body slowly fell from the Void Realm.
"What?!!"
In the blink of an eye, everything that happened left everyone stunned.
"You... you..."
The Yao Race bull was dumbfounded, his eyes widened like copper bells.
"100,000 Universe Coins, take it."
Xiao Weiqing slammed a stack of banknotes onto the Yao Race bull's face.
"I'm giving you the money; I am following your rules of the game."
"I killed him because I have the strength; if you are not convinced, you can come and find me."
"Human Race, Qin Weixiao!"
The Yao Race bull who received the money tremblingly pinched the thickness of the Universe Coins Xiao Weiqing gave him, without even glancing at the headless corpse.
The other Yao Race bulls were the same, seemingly unfazed by this.
The rest of the crowd watched Xiao Weiqing's disappearing back, silent for a long time; how they wished they could give these Yao Race bulls a few slaps in the face, or even just scold them, then drift away.
Alas.
They still lacked the strength to do so.
On the other side.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at the Human Race territory and found a hotel to stay in first.
"Distinguished guest, hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Accommodation."
"Okay, may I ask what kind of room you need?"
"What kind of rooms do you have?"
"Single rooms for 1888 a night, standard rooms for 3888 a night, deluxe rooms for 8888 a night, and suites for 18888 a night."
The receptionist brought up four types of rooms for Xiao Weiqing to choose from.
The single room just had one bed, and the standard room was just an ordinary standard room, yet even that cost 3888 Universe Coins a night.
"Give me a deluxe room, for 3 days."
Xiao Weiqing took out a stack of Universe Coins.
"Distinguished guest, the money is not enough."
"What?"
Xiao Weiqing frowned; he had given at least 30,000 Universe Coins, how could it not be enough?
Could this hotel be a scam?
Or did they see he was new here and want to make a profit off him?
"Yes, with this money, you can only stay for three nights, not three days."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Weiqing was shocked.
"Your hotel distinguishes between day and night?"
"Yes, distinguished guest."
"..."
Xiao Weiqing was speechless; looking at the receptionist's matter-of-fact attitude, he could only sigh that it was indeed the Ember Realm.
"How much does it cost including the daytime?"
"20,000 Universe Coins."
"Heh~~"
Xiao Weiqing laughed, "Your hotel charges more for the day than the night?"
"Distinguished guest, the daytime in the Ember Realm is longer than the night."
Xiao Weiqing was completely speechless and took out another 30,000 Universe Coins.
"Okay, distinguished guest, your Identity Plate."
Xiao Weiqing handed over the Identity Plate the Yao Race bull had given him.
The receptionist took the Identity Plate and performed a few operations.
"All right, distinguished guest, your room is 2110; you can open it with the Identity Plate."
Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes, "Open it with the Identity Plate? Can others open the door too?"
"Rest assured, distinguished guest, in the Ember Realm, every Identity Plate is unique."
"I know, but this Identity Plate was manufactured after all, wasn't it?"
"Since one can be made, a second identical one can also be made."
The receptionist said, "Please rest assured, distinguished guest, our hotel can guarantee guest privacy, and what you mentioned will not happen."
"What if it does?"
"There are no 'what ifs'; the boss behind this hotel is an Undying Realm powerhouse."
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and nodded slightly.
"I hope so."
Night fell.
Xiao Weiqing walked out of the hotel.
Under the night sky.
The buildings in the Ember Realm lit up with various lights, making it even brighter than during the day, but it was still shrouded in grayish mist.
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the direction and flew towards the center of the Ember Realm.
Along the way, he saw people fighting; it wasn't a small scuffle, but a life-and-death battle, and in more than one place.
Soon.
Xiao Weiqing arrived in front of a grand building.
Ember Realm Fighting Arena.
According to the information provided by the Holy Land, his mission target was here.
Just as he stepped into the first-floor entrance.
Two scrutinizing gazes looked Xiao Weiqing up and down; one came from a Yao Race dog, and one from the Mechanical Race.
"Ade, there's a distinguished guest, one of your Human Race."
"Coming."
A thin young man—no, he should be considered a teenager—ran out; the teenager was only at the fourth-rank Realm.
The teenager's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Weiqing.
"So it's Mr. Qin, quickly, please come in."
Xiao Weiqing looked Ade over.
"You know me?"
"Mm, you just entered the Ember Realm today, and I've heard a little about you killing the Yao Race bull captain."
"In the Ember Realm, the first Law of survival is to remember the appearance of the strong, as well as their preferences, otherwise you won't even know how you died."
Ade led Xiao Weiqing towards the hall while speaking.
Suddenly.
The scene changed, becoming noisy.
Inside the hall, all kinds of people, Yao Race, and Mechanical Race gathered together; the three races, which were like fire and water in the outside world, were like friends here, even putting their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Hello Mr. Qin, may I ask if you are here to enjoy the fighting matches?"
"Mm."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly and pointed to the other side, "What are those people doing?"
Ade didn't even turn to look and said directly, "They are observing the contestants participating in the fighting today, and then placing bets."
"Gambling on fights?"
"Mm."
"Is Mr. Qin interested? Do you need me to introduce it to you?"
