“it’s almost time for the next high tide of the Silver Belt Sea. Without the Flying Eagle Sec and Wind’s Aid Hall, we can get a lot of treasures in the sea.
But before that, I can take you to the Nightsleepers’ Gathering.” Sun Chengshan smiled.
“Nightsleepers’ Gathering?” When Wang Yu heard this title, he felt that it was not a good place. He became vigilant. “Is that place safe and reliable?”
“It’s safe as long as we follow the rules,” Sun said.
“This gathering is controlled by the Nightsleepers’ Organization. They have their footsteps all over the world. Many good things of unknown origin are circulating in the gathering. There are cultivation techniques for martial artists, excellent weapons for craftsmen, and all kinds of cultivation treasures. As long as you have money, you can buy them there.
“I received news that there will be a competition near Island Town 708 in three days. It just so happens that I need to buy some cultivation treasures. At that time, I will bring you to broaden your horizons.”
Seeing that Sun Chengshan was so confident, Wang Yu was slightly relieved.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way.”
Two days later.
Sun Chengshan asked Song and Zheng to guard the house while he brought Wang Yu out.
“Master, are we taking the ship or the airship?” Wang Yu asked on the way.
“The boat is slow and unsafe, so we will be taking an airship,” Sun Chengshan said and readily contracted Wang Yu’s airship ticket money.
There were many storms and natural disasters on the sea. He did not want to risk being drowned in the sea.
In comparison, the airship was a more sophisticated means of carrying passengers.
Soon, the two of them reached the center of the airship. Many people hurried inside with bags, afraid that they would not be able to catch the airship if they came any later.
There were also many people like Wang Yu and Sun Chengshan who traveled light to places outside the island town.
Wang Yu saw the airship.
The overall shape of the airship was like a whale. Its round shape was inexplicably cute, and there were two rows of crossed metal oars in its abdomen, like small feet firmly supporting the ground.
The airships varied in size. The largest could carry thousands of people, while the smallest could only carry dozens.
The schedule of these airships was assigned mainly by the number of people going to the destinations.
Obviously, there were quite some people going to Island Town 708 this time, so a medium-sized airship was called up to accommodate 500 people.
At the entrance, Sun Chengshan handed over the plane ticket. As usual, the inspectors cut off the corners and let him in.
This was Wang Yu’s first time in an airship. Although it was not as fast as the planes from his previous life, it was still quite novel and spacious.
The seats were neatly arranged, soft and comfortable.
Sitting among them, Wang Yu sensed the heat source from the upper and rear parts of the airship from time to time with his sharp senses.
On the way here, he consulted Sun Chengshan.
The airship was powered by mechanical engines, but its fuel was not electricity and oil, but a variety of coal stones.
Among them, the purple coal they dug up was one of the best fuels, and it was relatively common. There were such coal stones on many planets, and they were not unique to the Broken Star No. 5 that they were on.
In fact, the main source of minerals for the countries was a mineral star that had been occupied for a long time.
The total output of ores from the other habitable and semi-habitable planets was less than 30% of the mineral star’s output.
Humans still needed a lot of various ores and had a wide range of applications.
After another ten minutes or so, and almost four hundred people had come aboard, the airship started up.
Gusts of air shot out of the bottom row of holes, and the cumbersome-looking airship took off smoothly.
Soon, they flew higher and left Island Town 732.
Through the side window next to the seat, he could see the endless sea below.
The parts of the silver sea gradually disappeared, replaced by dark and bottomless seawater which was as black as ink.
It was only in the occasional tides that traces of dark blue could be seen.
This was the normal color of most of the sea area of the Broken Star Number 5.
Black Blue Sea.
The seawater was extremely cold, and the weather could easily give people frostbite.
Moreover, a large number of ferocious sea creatures lived in the Black Blue Sea. The cold seawater created their steel-like leather bodies.
Everyone knew that this sea contained the oldest and most precious resources on the planet, which are endless wealth and treasures.
However, humans have a long way to go to set foot in this boundless planetary sea and develop the marine industry.
The only good thing was that in this extremely low temperature of the Black Blue Sea, the terrifying bacteria of the Silver Ribbon Sea could not survive and would not poison people to death.
The airship flew for about seven or eight hours, passing several similar numbered islands before finally reaching Island Town 708.
Compared to their island town of 732, the landscape was more habitable. There were fewer hills and more flat lands to develop and reclaim.
Therefore, the construction here was even more prosperous. The population of the town reached nearly 400,000, almost twice that of their island town.
It even made him feel that living here was a little too crowded. After all, the island was only so big.
“That’s nothing. I’ve been to Island 701 before. That’s currently the capital base of our Nance Kingdom. There are as many as a million people there, and that’s not counting the number of troops stationed there. That’s where the real crowd is.”
Sun Chengshan was indeed knowledgeable. From time to time, he would tell Wang Yu what he had seen and heard.
Perhaps a million people in the world of his previous life were really nothing.
Any city could have millions or even tens of millions of people.
However, on this small Broken Star No. 5, a gathering place with a million people was already very rare.
Perhaps because of the large population, Wang Yu saw more martial artists on the streets.
Many of them were wearing standard uniforms and were mostly disciples of the local martial arts school. They usually walked in groups of two or three.
In addition, there were many other martial artists of all shapes and sizes. Their breaths were long and their steps were steady.
Some of them even had sharp eyes that made people not dare to look at them directly.
Sun Chengshan could tell at a glance that these were people who had come to Island Town like them. He said softly, “I’m afraid many people have come to this gathering.”
Wang Yu took a few more glances at those martial artists. “Master, do you mean that they’re all going to participate in the Nightsleepers’ Gathering?”
“Yes, speaking of which, it’s been a long time since such a gathering has been held in our area. There must be many people waiting there.”
Sun explained it to him.
Wang Yu nodded. It seemed that this kind of gathering was very attractive to the martial artists cultivating nearby.
It was no wonder. Just the export of a large number of precious ingredients was enough to arouse the thoughts of these martial artists who were living in remote villages.
In this island town, precious ingredients were always in short supply but in high demand.
The two of them walked around the island town briefly. After dinner, they found an inn to stay in.
