Chapter 452: The Wu Clan of Advanced Civilization

……

Yu Liang was stunned. Firstly, he was surprised by this technological way of contact, and secondly, he did not expect that he could pass the blood verification and obtain the basic authority to enter this mysterious city.

Zhurong Department?
It should be Zhurong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

After the phantom disappeared, Yu Liang stood there in a daze for a moment before slowly walking into the city.

Inside the city, the buildings are well-arranged and the layout is rigorous. The roads are wide and flat, paved with an unknown golden material that shines with a charming luster in the sun.

What caught Yu Liang's attention was that strange energy crystals were suspended above the spires of these buildings, emitting soft light, adding a touch of mystery to the city.

At this moment, Yu Liang was like Liu Laolao who had just come to the city from the countryside. He found everything new and felt out of tune with the surrounding environment.

He secretly looked around at the other pedestrians. They were all tall and strong. In comparison, he looked like a dwarf who had not grown up.

Moreover, these people have all kinds of strange appearances. Some have tentacles on their heads, some have four arms on their backs, some have three legs... and some have pointed mouths and monkey cheeks, as if each of them is a combination of humans and demons.

Their attire was also extremely gorgeous, as if they were all wearing some special formal attire. Their clothes were also embroidered with patterns and symbols that Yu Liang had never seen before, but they seemed to be inextricably linked to this city.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Yu Liang asked the subsystem in his mind while he was still observing and collecting information around him.

"What? Don't you already know everything? This is the Zhurong tribe of the Wu clan." The subsystem replied.

"But... this style is too weird!" Yu Liang complained: "Look at this city, how does it look like a tribe?"

"Don't look like?" "Then what do you think the witch tribe looks like? Bare-chested, eating raw meat and drinking blood, hunting everywhere with a bone stick in hand?" the subsystem asked back.

Yu Liang replied: "That's not the case, but it shouldn't be this technologically advanced either. Look at the city's architecture, clothing, and appearance..."

"I think you may be influenced by the stereotype in your heart!" The subsystem retorted: "The Wu clan is a civilization that has been passed down for countless years since its birth."

"Do you think the modern civilization on Earth, which has only been developed for a few thousand years, can be compared to the Wu Clan?"

"Uh~what you said makes a lot of sense." Yu Liang suddenly no longer had any doubts in his mind.

"What material do you think this golden building structure is made of? Gold? It feels a bit like it but it's not it!" Yu Liang leaned over and gently stroked the metal bricks on the ground, feeling the cold and solid texture.

"It's Jijin, which is a mixture of multiple metals." The subsystem explained, "Alloys and the like, there's no need to explain in detail."

"Ah."

Yu Liang nodded, stood up, and looked around. Almost all the buildings in this city were made of this kind of auspicious gold material. It shone with a charming golden light in the sun, as if it was a dream city made of gold.

After wandering around the city for a long time, Yu Liang walked into a shop that looked very high-end after his heart was shocked and then gradually calmed down.

As soon as he entered the store, there was no service staff to greet him. All the goods were hung on the shelves on the wall for everyone to see. The store was full of goods in various shapes and sizes. Although Yu Liang didn't recognize any of them, he felt that they had everything he needed.

Yu Liang noticed other customers in the store. After they selected the products, they just needed to click lightly, and the products would automatically fly out and fall into their hands. After observing for a while, Yu Liang's eyes fell on a sword-shaped product, and suddenly a projection panel appeared in front of him. Although he didn't recognize the words on it, the information content was directly transmitted to his mind.

"What a powerful weapon! A sword can actually cut through space directly!" Yu Liang exclaimed.

At this time, the subsystem made a disdainful voice: "This is just an ordinary weapon. The sword body is made of a rare dark matter alloy. It can use quantum crack technology to create a temporary, controllable black hole on the sword edge."

"Damn, this is normal!" Yu Liang was even more shocked when he heard that.

Just as Yu Liang was about to reach out to take the sword and examine it carefully, another projection panel appeared in front of him, reminding him that the balance was insufficient.

"Oh my goodness, this is an unmanned vending machine and you have to pay by face recognition." Yu Liang could only withdraw his hand helplessly.

"System, can you hack into the backend and give me some 'Witch Points'?" Yu Liang asked the subsystem with a smile.

"Do you think I can fight against the entire witch clan?" the subsystem asked unhappily.

"Haha, I'm just asking casually. I don't really have any expectations." Yu Liang replied leisurely, then wandered around the store for a while. After seeing all kinds of tempting goods, he left in disappointment.

On the street, Yu Liang was thinking as he walked, and said to the subsystem: "I think my top priority now is to learn the culture of the Wu Clan. Although the information here can be directly displayed in the mind through transmission, it is also necessary to master its text."

The subsystem gave an unexpected answer: "In fact, these Wu characters do not need to be learned deliberately."

"What do you mean?" Yu Liang asked curiously.

The subsystem explained: "The language and writing of the Wu tribe are not a fixed form of expression. Every text symbol you see is a unique symbol created by the writer according to his or her own intention."

"Ah?" Yu Liang was even more surprised when he heard this, "Then how do they communicate with others?"

"It's very simple." The subsystem replied, "Although the ways of expression vary, their reading methods are unified. This uniqueness does not affect the communication between them. Instead, it makes everyone's expression have their own mark, making it easier to distinguish."

"I see." Yu Liang suddenly realized and nodded slightly, "This is really a high-level form of civilization transmission."

"Then what is this reading method?" Yu Liang asked.

"Heart-to-heart communication!" the subsystem answered concisely.

"What does that mean? Telepathy!" Yu Liang said in surprise.

"Yes!" the subsystem confirmed, "As long as the information is not specially encrypted, as long as you use your heart to sense it, you can directly read the information expressed by the other party. Haven't you experienced this when buying things in a store? As for those encrypted messages, only the parties involved can tell you how to interpret them. Otherwise, you can only slowly interpret them like cracking a code."

Yu Liang suddenly understood, and thinking back to his experience in the store just now, it was just as the subsystem said, he could directly sense the information and price of the goods without any verbal communication.
