Moreover…the journey was not smooth.

“Ah!!!”

As the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros galloped ahead, suddenly, a group of weird monsters jumped out from the nearby bushes. They looked like octopuses with human legs. These monsters now stood blocking the road and sprayed ink towards Duanmu Huai’s Electromagnetic Rhinoceros. But they were instantly trampled into a pulp by the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros.

“What kind of weird shit is this …”

Duanmu Huai, silently watching the squashed octopi in the rear, was breaking into a cold sweat. Ogis seemed interested in the spectacle and was looking about. Yue Huasha appeared unfazed, showing no hint of expression change, not that she was ever expressive.

The situation felt off.

Even though Yue Huasha didn’t change her expression, Duanmu Huai noticed something different about the world from the Duel City in his memory. He had encountered weird creatures and the beauty quotient of the female population was baffling. For some reason, after arriving in the Free City, Duanmu Huai found it was like a kingdom of beauties. Everyone, except those over seventy, was a good-looking woman.

If the gamers saw this, it would undoubtedly set the forum ablaze. But Duanmu Huai did not recall ever seeing discussions about the extraordinary beauty of women outside the Duel City on the forum.

Plus, the earlier Fighting God competition…

Staring at the scenery in front, Duanmu Huai frowned. This place seemed different from the Duel City in the game. For example, competitions like the Fighting God competition where a girl was the prize; if such a thing happened in the game, it would have been heavily criticized by many players and Duanmu Huai could not have possibly missed hearing about it.

And now, this clearly strange and contradictory region…

Not only this, but Duanmu Huai felt something was wrong with his own body. Since entering this area, he had felt more spirited, a certain urge resided deep within him—this probably wasn’t the right way to describe it, more accurately, his feelings were more susceptible to influence, unlike his usual composed self.

For instance, when Duanmu Huai saw alluring girls on the street, their beauty would make his heart flutter. Of course, who doesn’t appreciate a beautiful girl, but Duanmu Huai felt these heart flutters were rather frequent. It wasn’t just a matter of physical attractiveness—taking attractiveness into consideration, Ogis was pretty too, but Duanmu Huai was fine when he looked at her. But when he looked at the beautiful girls in this world, even if they were less attractive than Ogis, he would experience an instinctual… urge.

Something was off, very off.

A complex and contradictory world, his unexplainably volatile mood, Duanmu Huai was certain the world had a definite… secret that the player in the game had not discovered or that didn’t exist in the game.

Meanwhile, a city appeared before Duanmu Huai. Seeing him approach, the two guards at the city gate raised their long spears, blocking the path.

“Hold it!”

Soon, the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros stopped before the guards. They looked at the huge animal with confusion but showed no signs of extreme shock, ts. Really, in such a chaotic world, anyone not mentally resilient would have gone mad.

“Who are you?”

“We are travelers.”

Yue Huasha dismounted the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros and showed the guards their identification registered at Duel City. The IDs from Duel City were universally accepted in this world. This was the reason Duanmu Huai had chosen to bring Ogis and Kula with him since others would have to go through a rigorous competition for border passing.

Too much hassle.

“We plan to go to the Free City of Castam.”

“Castam?”

Hearing Yue Huasha’s answer, the two guards frowned and glanced at each other.

“The road to Castam has been closed.”

“Why?”

“We heard that the Herman Kingdom launched a surprise attack on the Lissas Kingdom, and the entire Lissas Kingdom has been taken over by the Herman Kingdom. They are now attacking the Free City Area. To play it safe, the Mayor has closed the road.”

“This really happened?”

Upon hearing the guard’s reply, Yue Huasha was taken aback. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, lowered his head, fixing his gaze on the two guards.

“What if I insist on going?”

“This…”

Facing the towering armored man in front of him, the guard swallowed hard.

“You can go and see the Mayor. As long as you get a travel permit, you can pass through the blockade.”

“Very well.”

Hearing the guard’s reply, Duanmu Huai nodded.

“Then I want to see the Mayor, that’s not a problem, is it?”

“Of course… The Mayor is currently arranging the defense line, please follow me.”

The two guards were indeed wise, knowing that they were no match for Duanmu Huai. So, they obediently led Duanmu Huai into the city.

They crossed the mighty Medieval City walls and entered through the gates. They were greeted by the smell of civilization—a tarmacked road, lit street lamps on both sides, and a bus stop with benches. Stretching into the distance, the roadside was lined with modern coffee shops, and not far away, neon-lit office buildings were visible.

What the hell is this chaotic…

Duanmu Huai took a deep breath, forcing himself to resist his urge to vent his bewilderment. He put away the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros and followed the guard down the street.

Under the guidance of the guard, Duanmu Huai and his party arrived at the city hall. All was a flurry of activity here, a sign of an impending storm. The guard approached a serious-looking elderly man and reported in a low voice. After listening to the guard’s report, the old man furrowed his brows, turned around and looked at Duanmu Huai.

When the old man saw Duanmu Huai, his expression changed abruptly. Afterwards, the old man turned around and approached Duanmu Huai, observing him carefully.

“Are you an adventurer?”

“Correct.”

Duanmu Huai nodded. He must admit, his hefty stature was indeed persuasive in these times of war and made things a lot easier. He didn’t have to pretend to be weak and then surprise everyone, just like the protagonists in the web novels, which was time-consuming. Look, as soon as they set eyes on him, they immediately approached him without hesitation. What did this indicate?

It suggested his one charisma point wasn’t allocated in vain!

“You want to go to Castam?”

“Correct.”

“What is your purpose in going to Castam?”

“To look for someone.”

To be honest, given the current state of this world, Duanmu Huai wasn’t really hopeful about the scientist whom Yue Huasha had recommended. Who knew what kind of chaotic setting the scientist in this world would have? But… since he was already here, why not, right?

“Hmm…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, the old man furrowed his eyebrows, pondered for a while, then made a decision.

“If you can do something for me, I will let you pass through the blockade and head to Castam.”

“Okay, what do you want me to do?”

Duanmu Huai wasn’t at all surprised by the old man’s request.

It was back to the usual task of performing player-specific routine tasks.
