Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 27: The First City on the Continent

In Luan Yu's opinion, although the cities of other empires have their own characteristics, some even have a history of ten thousand years, such as Tiandou City of Tianhun Empire, Xingluo City of Xingluo Empire, and Shrek City of Shrek Academy, they are all very ancient cities.

But in terms of prosperity and advancement, it has to be Mingdu of the Sun-Moon Empire. The title of the first city on the continent is not an exaggeration. Both people from the Sun-Moon Empire and people from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms have to admit this. The mere lack of city walls is enough to make people from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms feel incredible.

Although Mingdu has no city walls and seems like anyone can enter, it is actually heavily guarded. Not only are there soul guide corps stationed on all sides, but there are also a large number of advanced detection soul guides, various heat detection soul guides, soul power detectors, sound wave detectors, high-altitude detectors, as well as various defensive soul guides and high-altitude strike soul guides, making Mingdu an airtight steel city.

The lack of city walls is one thing, but the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is very advanced, and it has reached the point where it can defend the city without relying on city wall defense.

Although there are no city walls, giving people the feeling that it is easy to sneak into, but to really hide from the scanning of the large number of soul detection devices and sneak into Mingdu, the required cultivation strength must be at least above Soul Sage. Facing a Soul Sage, even the city walls will be useless. It is better to expose the city openly, which will show the confidence of the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, there is only one Mingdu in the entire Sun-Moon Empire that does not rely on city walls but only on soul guides for defense. Although other cities in the Sun-Moon Empire are also very advanced, they still have city walls. After all, maintaining the operation of soul guides requires resources. Even the wealthy Sun-Moon Empire can only afford one Mingdu.

In Mingdu, there are four high-energy compression array soul guides, which are the real core technology of the Sun-Moon Empire. This kind of soul guide can absorb soul power from the heaven and earth on its own and replenish its own consumption anytime and anywhere. However, the disadvantage of this soul guide is that it is too large. Even with the technology of the Sun-Moon Empire, it is difficult to move it. Therefore, Mingdu is the only one in the entire Sun-Moon Empire that has four high-energy compression array soul guides.

It is also these four high-energy compression array soul guides that provide a large amount of energy for the entire Mingdu. Whether it is a soul guide defense device, a detection soul guide, or a civilian soul guide, most of the energy used comes from these four high-energy array soul guides.

These four soul guides are the absolute secrets of the Sun-Moon Empire. Only the ninth-level soul guides in the Royal Worship Hall have access to them. They are the ones who usually maintain these four high-energy compression array soul guides to keep the entire Mingdu running.

Although Mingdu is indeed eye-catching, it is far inferior to the wonders that Liuxing has seen in the Liuying Universe. Whether it is a space station built on a planetary orbit or sailing through the starry sea on a fairy boat, a fairy boat is a wonder of the world, which is not something that Mingdu can match.

The Grammer Republic, where Liuying was born, is also an interstellar civilization that has stepped out of the planet. Liuying, who was born in Grammer, did not show any surprise at this relatively modern Mingdu.

Luan Yu secretly observed the two little guys and saw that they were only slightly interested. They were not like those former Douluo Dalu people she had seen before who came to Mingdu for the first time and acted like country bumpkins entering the city. She was a little disappointed.

"Come on, I'll take you inside. There are many delicious foods in Mingdu that are incomparable to those in Longcheng."

Luan Yu shook her head helplessly. She really didn't know what could have moved these two precocious little guys?

"gourmet food?"

Liuying's eyes lit up, finally showing more interest in the city, leaving Luanyu in a state of confusion. Liuxing smiled slightly. Perhaps Liuying had never been exposed to food since she was born. The only food she had eaten was an unexpected piece of oak cake roll. This made her obsessed with oak cake rolls and she also fell in love with tasting all kinds of food, especially desserts.

During the year in Longcheng, in order to satisfy Liuying's little belly, Nan Qiuqiu's small treasury shrank by more than half. Fortunately, Nan Qiuqiu was rich and didn't care about her small treasury being emptied by Liuying. She was very generous to Liuying.

After all, the cute, straightforward and fighting Liuying is still very popular in Dilongmen. After many disciples of Dilongmen know Liuying's preferences, they will occasionally prepare some delicious desserts and offer them to this second sister.

Following Luan Yu, Liuxing and Liuying walked along a wide avenue towards Mingdu. Although Mingdu had no city walls and seemed to be accessible from all directions, to enter Mingdu openly, one still had to go through the main gate, which was the passage opened by Mingdu. One had to register and obtain a pass before one could live in Mingdu openly.

It is not a problem to sneak into Mingdu by relying on your cultivation, and you can solve the problem of accommodation and food by spending money. However, once you encounter a patrol by Mingdu’s law enforcement team and do not have a pass, you will be arrested by the law enforcement team. Therefore, if you want to live a peaceful life in Mingdu without so many troubles, it is best to go through the formal channels to obtain a pass and enter Mingdu.

Walking on the cement avenue that was more than ten meters wide, Liu Xing saw many businessmen coming and going in horse-drawn carriages or advanced soul-guided vehicles.

As the first city on the continent, Mingdu attracted countless merchants, even some from the three former Douluo Kingdoms. The Sun-Moon Empire did not make things difficult for these non-national merchants, but instead gave them preferential treatment. After all, these merchants could bring specialties from the other three empires to Mingdu, and could also sell their Sun-Moon Empire's products to the three former Douluo Kingdoms.

The Sun-Moon Empire and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms are in a hostile relationship, but for businessmen, the Golden Soul Coin is their only belief. As long as they can make money, they will not care about so many things.

For businessmen, business has no borders and everything can be traded.

Getting a pass is not complicated. You just need to register your name, age, and where you are from to get a pass.

Of course, whether you report your real name or which empire you are from is your own business. The registration staff will not bother you too much. After all, they are just collecting basic information and have never thought of identifying anything through registration.

After all, Mingdu, the first city on the continent, has a daily traffic of millions of people. They don't have so much time to distinguish the authenticity. Simple registration is enough. After all, they can't earn many Gintama coins in a day, so why make themselves uncomfortable about it.

If you happen to run into a vicious wanted criminal or an evil soul master, you might lose your life if you are not careful. Why bother doing that for such a small salary?
