Chapter 104 The Price
"If we have to talk about any price, dying in the world after entering the gate will only mean being expelled. It's nothing more than the world after the gate absorbing some of your spiritual power. It'll just be a bit tiring, but you have emotional crystals to replenish them, and you can even bring back things from that world," Peng Hou said after thinking for a moment.
What wasn't mentioned was that once inside, you'd be targeted by the world's will, and to bring the items you obtained into reality, you'd need to pay some emotional crystals. Even the extraordinary knowledge you learned would require some emotional crystals, otherwise some memories would become blurred.
Of course, it's cheaper than directly exchanging items on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List. Theoretically, the Mountain and Sea Wonders List is restricted to the status of residents of Qingyu Island and Guangming Island, so many items are not available for exchange. However, items obtained after the Boundary Gate are truly given as long as you hand over Emotional Crystals!
How can this not be considered a great opportunity?
Unaware of the deeper meaning, the crowd was only filled with joy. Peng Hou's next words immediately extinguished their excitement: "Theoretically, it's possible that after your death you will be assimilated by the world, completely succumbing and becoming part of it!"
After all, the feigned-to-real feat is no simple task. Can emotional power alone suffice? Who knows how many lives would be sacrificed!
Of course, Su Fan was kind-hearted and took good care of his fellow villagers; he had no intention of throwing them into this bottomless pit!
As for who will be the consumables? Of course, it will be the lives of other future civilizations! After all, to achieve great things, we must have a broad vision; we cannot just focus on human civilization.
The 79th island, Vientiane Island, is merely a training ground; it's a matter for future human civilization to seek out other civilizations!
It will just take some time; current human civilization is not yet ready! It requires the technology developed in modern times…
The upper limit of internal energy martial arts, the ghost cultivation extraordinary system created by Jie, who was controlled by the Heavenly Dao, on a small scale, and the faith divine magic talisman that Su Fan has not yet started to spread?
Clearly, this is not enough at the moment!
The world of mountains and seas cannot be limited to human civilization alone; that is not enough, far from enough!
"Ah! Assimilation? That sounds so dangerous! How can I avoid being assimilated?" Chen Yang asked, not wanting to disappear without even realizing it!
"There's nothing we can do! It's all about luck!" Peng Hou said nonchalantly. "You bunch of stinking outsiders come to the Mountain and Sea Realm to make a living, do you really think there's such a thing as a free lunch? You're afraid of this and that, why don't you just go die!"
Kong Shizhang had some dissatisfaction with Peng Hou, but he also understood the principle that when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
Forcing himself to put on a standard smile, after all, he was stronger and the other party possessed knowledge they didn't know: "So, is the world we descend into after entering the dimensional gate the same world?"
Kong Shizhang's idea is simple: harmony between the individual and the group leads to unity of purpose. As the saying goes, "Two people of one mind can break metal." Words spoken with one heart are as fragrant as orchids!
Since the world behind the gate is dangerous, there is also the risk of being assimilated and completely destroyed after death.
If they stick together for warmth, at least their safety will be somewhat guaranteed!
Peng Hou glanced at Kong Shizhang speechlessly, his disdain almost tangible. "It's possible. If you're lucky, you might be born in the same world, but the chances are slim."
"What are the requirements to become a resident of Vientiane Island? How many emotional crystals are needed?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"You outsider, do you really think that just because there are emotional crystals in the Mountain and Sea Realm you can get anything? Then you might as well just exchange whatever you want on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List, where did all these other floating islands come from!" Peng Hou said disdainfully, without replying directly, but instead asking Wang Jianguo a question.
Wang Jianguo was speechless after being confronted with such a retort!
"Then how do I become a resident of Wanxiang Island? Since I don't want emotional crystals, I don't know how!" Su Fan asked at the right time.
"Once you enter the world through the portal, you will be given tasks to complete. After completing the tasks and returning, you will naturally become residents of Myriad Elephant Island! If you are a cowardly rat, then you can go to Doom Island and Bright Island and be a good-for-nothing who just loafs around and waits to die!"
"I see!" Wang Jianguo replied. "Then could you take me back? I need to prepare first, and I'll go to the world beyond the gate next time!"
After all, while death isn't true death, one can still be assimilated after death, and it all depends entirely on probability! Isn't that just like roulette?
"Come and go as you please? Dream on, you outsider! The rule of Vientiane Island is that you must go through the boundary gate before you set foot on this island!" Peng Hou said.
"Didn't Boss Yingzhao also set foot on the island? Why doesn't he need to go in?!" Chen Yang found from his interactions that although this Peng Hou kept calling himself an outsider and a local, he seemed to be relatively mild-mannered and non-violent so far!
Compared to Luo Jiuchuan or Yingzhao, he is definitely mild-mannered and even dares to make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Yingzhao is a native creature of the Mountain and Sea Realm. How can outsiders be compared to native creatures?" Peng Hou said matter-of-factly.
"Alright! You're right! As long as I go through the gate, I'll either smoothly obtain islander status, be assimilated by the world, or have a more tiring experience, right? There's a two-thirds chance of safety, so why not go!" Chen Yang said casually.
Luo Jiuchuan is an islander of the thirty-sixth island. If Luo Jiuchuan could pass the test of Wanxiang Island, why can't Chen Yang? He will catch up with that guy Luo Jiuchuan!
"Then let's open the gate! I hope I can go to the Journey to the West world! If only I could meet Monkey King again, it shouldn't be too difficult to survive under his protection!" Chen Yang said.
"In the story, when the Great Sage was admonishing his master, he said, 'When I was a demon in the Water Curtain Cave, if I wanted to eat human flesh, I would do this: I would transform into gold and silver, or a manor, or a drunkard, or a beautiful woman. If any infatuated person fell in love with me, I would lure them into the cave and do as I pleased, whether I steamed or boiled them; if I couldn't eat them all, I would dry them in the sun to protect them from the rain!'"
"So Brother Chen, if you really run into someone like that, you might get eaten alive!" Kong Shizhang warned.
"Didn't they already say that the world beyond the gate was formed by the primal force of all living beings plus all sorts of incredible methods? The story is just a blueprint. It's better to have no book than to believe everything in it!" Chen Yang argued, embarrassed and annoyed.
After all, this story is widely known, but not many people have read the original work!
"There's no need to worry about that! After all, it's a world of gods and demons. It's not that I look down on you outsiders, but with your strength, you wouldn't even make a ripple. Myriad Elephant Island isn't there to lure people in to kill. The world behind your boundary gate is related to your strength, so there's no need to worry about entering the world of gods and demons!" Peng Hou explained.
