I have a city in another world

Chapter 7034 Temporarily Settled in the Mountain City

After a satisfying meal, it's time to say goodbye.

Many things about the outer city have already been explained during the meal, so there's no need for everyone to follow along and provide guidance.

The two parted ways, and Tang Zhen went to find a place to stay on his own.

Walking down the street, watching the crowds come and go, Tang Zhen pondered to himself.

At this point, his situation was still quite dangerous; he could only be considered to have temporarily escaped the pursuit.

I believe there is something behind it all, and they will not let it go so easily; they will definitely try every means to find it.

And those demigod cultivators, perhaps seeing Tang Zhen as their only hope, would spare no effort to seize his opportunity.

Knowing full well that they are being used as pawns, yet willingly so, demigod cultivators influenced by their obsession with becoming gods are all undeniably madmen, capable of doing anything insane.

Where Tang Zhen can go, the other party can also go.

The most effective way to avoid danger is to not use magic, not even the lowest level of magic.

After a cultivator advances to the ninth rank, there is a period of returning to one's origin. During this time, it is best not to use any spells, but to rely on one's soul to sense the rules and nature.

At this point, the physical body will become a vessel, completing a partial separation from the soul.

When the soul and body can be completely separated, one reaches the realm of a demigod cultivator.

This timeframe can vary from person to person. If one cannot grasp the meaning, one will be trapped within the physical body, and the longer it lasts, the more uncomfortable one will feel.

The two sides, fleeing from disaster and seeking enlightenment, happened to meet, perhaps it was fate.

Since that's the case, let nature take its course.

Based on the information he had received, Tang Zhen arrived at the government office in the outer city, found the staff, and explained his purpose.

"You want to open a weapons and equipment shop?"

Upon hearing Tang Zhen state his purpose, the staff took out a form, asked for his information, and filled it out one by one.

Once the form is completed, another fee will be paid, after which you can rent the space and begin renovations and business operations.

After confirming the address and opening for business, bring another form to complete the final registration.

They also asked Tang Zhen if there were any satisfactory shops available, as the government had some shops that could be rented out.

Following the staff's directions, I arrived at another counter and indeed saw many vacant shops.

Residents of the outer city who wish to rent out their houses can also register and list their properties here.

The wooden sign had the address and some basic information written on it, along with a simple map.

Tang Zhen browsed through the shops and chose one of them. The location was decent, the space was large enough, and the rent was in the upper-middle range.

Perhaps due to the high price, the shop remained unrented for a long time.

Tang Zhen didn't care about the price; after confirming the conditions, he directly rented the property.

No one needs to guide you; just take the key and go. This will save you time.

On this outer street, there are several forms of public transportation, one of which is electric taxis.

Despite its small size, it is very powerful and can carry up to four passengers at a time.

After getting into the car, it sped along the street and soon arrived at the street where the house was located.

The street was quite lively, with people coming and going, and there were many shops on both sides.

Tang Zhen didn't care about any of that. Following the house number, he quickly found the rented house.

The house is in a unique location, situated at the end of a street, with an open space in front of it and two tall trees, and a cliff more than ten meters high just beyond.

The road forks further ahead; one path leads upwards, while the other leads downwards.

Reaching the edge of the cliff, one can gaze upon the scenery of the outer city and the wilderness. When the sun sets, the sunlight filtering through the treetops and dappling the open ground should create a beautiful scene. The environment of this location far exceeded Tang Zhen's expectations, leaving him extremely satisfied.

Looking back at the shop behind me, it was built with large blocks of mountain stones, and all the gaps were filled with plaster.

Moss grows on the eaves and corners of the building, which bears the marks of wind and frost, clearly indicating that it has existed for many years.

The building has a shop in the front and a living quarters in the back. It can be used for living or converted into a workshop.

Opening the heavy wooden and iron-clad door revealed an empty house inside, devoid of anything but dust.

Not far away is a stone fireplace that can be lit for warmth in winter. After passing through a door, there are two more rooms that can be used as a storage room and a utility room.

Further on is a courtyard with a large tree that provides shade in the summer.

At this moment, the tree is laden with unidentified green fruits, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

Further on are two houses, one of which can be used as a bedroom and kitchen, and the other as a studio.

After inspecting it inside and out, Tang Zhen was very satisfied.

Opening an equipment shop is just a cover for my identity, so there's no need to rush it; let things take their natural course.

After sitting in the courtyard for a while, Tang Zhen took out an item that looked like a mobile phone.

This item functions very similarly to a mobile phone, but is limited to use within the city.

It's somewhat similar to a local area network; once you leave the city, many of its functions become unusable.

Of course, there are more advanced versions, but they are not available to the general public; they require certain permissions and qualifications.

After opening the app, Tang Zhen registered his identity information and then posted a cleanup task.

You don't need to find people yourself; just post the task on the platform and wait for someone to accept it.

After the service is completed, the task commission is paid, and then a rating and review are given.

Its various functions make it feel less like a wasteland and more like a peaceful and tranquil era.

However, the warning information above needs to be confirmed by someone to show that the dangers in the outside world far exceed expectations.

Unless you have no other choice, it's best not to go into the wilderness, as it's a journey from which there may be no return.

In addition to posting cleanup tasks, you can also shop online, and merchants will deliver the goods to your door in a short time.

Life in this city is quite comfortable and pleasant.

However, if you have the option, it's best to buy in person to avoid the hassle of going back and forth if the item doesn't fit.

After a quick look around, Tang Zhen pushed open the door and went out to stroll leisurely down the street.

The merchants along the way had already noticed Tang Zhen, the new tenant. When they saw him come out, they all nodded slightly to greet him when their eyes met.

At these times, Tang Zhen would nod in response, wearing a calm and serene smile.

After driving around the city, I bought a bunch of daily necessities and hired a vehicle to help transport them back.

After putting his belongings away, Tang Zhen went to a nearby restaurant and ordered a table of local specialties.

Looking at the menus, one can tell that supplies in the city are still scarce, which is why the restaurant menus are very simple.

Even so, businesses still rack their brains to cook more delicious dishes with limited resources.

Use sauces as much as possible to enhance the flavor of the dish and thus mask any shortcomings.

The only type of beverage offered is wild grass brew, which is made by juicing mutated wild grass and then fermenting and distilling it.

The aroma of the liquor was very strong, spicy and pungent, like drinking a mouthful of scalding hot water that went down the throat and into the lungs.

After eating and drinking my fill, slightly tipsy, I went home and fell asleep immediately.
