Monster collectors on the cross-platform

"Speaking of that True Immortal Luo Chen, even when facing the combined attack of three powerful demonic sect masters, he still held his own in no way..."

At the teahouse counter, an elderly man, well past fifty, held a folding fan and passionately recounted the deeds of Master Luochen, drawing cheers from the diners present.

Huo listened with interest for a while, initially finding it somewhat novel, but soon grew bored.

Huo's assessment of the teahouse was that it wasn't as good as the novel, but the pastries there were quite nice.

After picking up a few pieces of pastry and stuffing them into his mouth, Huo suddenly felt a little thirsty.

I picked up the teapot on the table and poured myself a cup; the aroma of tea filled the air.

Huo raised his teacup and took a sip. A faint bitterness filled his mouth, followed by a subtle sweetness that lingered for a long time.

Excellent tea! This money was well spent.

Although Huo hasn't drunk many types of tea, he is, after all, a man who has drunk tea from the Enlightenment Tree (sapling tree), so he has some ability to appreciate tea.

With Huo Huan's current strength, he naturally doesn't need to care about a little bit of gold and silver. What matters is whether others are being perfunctory or deceiving him.

While enjoying pastries and tea, Huo quickly finished a pot of hot tea.

Having no intention of ordering another pot, Huo left a piece of silver and turned to leave the teahouse.

The first silver coin was for the tea, and the second silver coin was a tip for Huo's enjoyment of the tea.

After leaving the teahouse, Huo planned to visit other places as well.

A small town is just a small town after all, and there are too few capable people in it. It would be better to go elsewhere and meet the world's masters.

Chapter 247 Cards

After asking passersby in the town for directions to the nearest county town, Huo left the town, concealed himself, and flew towards the county town.

Before long, a bustling county town came into Huo Huan's view.

The streets were teeming with people, far more bustling than the small town we had just visited.

Huo closed his eyes and sensed for a while, and he was able to perceive the auras of many experts in the county town.

Their strength is not weak, but it is not strong either. The strongest among them is only about the same as a level 10 player in terms of aura.

There might be experts in the county town skilled in concealing their presence, but even if there were, their strength wouldn't attract Huo Huan's interest.

Forget it, I might as well go to the palace. There must be a lot of martial arts manuals stored there, and the masters wouldn't dare to come here.

With this in mind, Huo asked a well-dressed merchant in the county town for directions to the imperial city, and then quietly left.

After flying for several hours, a vast city came into Huo Huan's view.

Looking at those magnificent buildings, there's no need to guess; it must be the imperial city.

After flying into the palace while remaining invisible, Huo casually hypnotized a passing eunuch. After finding out the location of the library, Huo flew towards it.

Since he could fly, Huo didn't bother going through the main entrance and instead went straight through the roof to the top floor of the library.

After all, the best things are usually placed on the top floor, at least that's how it's portrayed in TV dramas.

As Huo Huan casually flipped through a book on the shelf, the densely packed small print mixed with illustrations immediately caught his eye.

With the integrated network panel available, Huo wasn't completely illiterate, but he still couldn't understand it.

Lacking this foundation, Huo could recognize the individual characters, but when they were put together, he had no idea what the book meant.

After flipping through more than a dozen books, Huo couldn't understand a single one, and gradually gave up the idea of ​​learning martial arts.

"Who dares to trespass into the library?!" A slightly shrill voice rang out from behind Huo Huan, followed by a white-faced, beardless man dressed in eunuch's robes who emerged from the shadows and struck Huo Huan on the back with a palm.

That's quite a stealth skill.

Huo was slightly surprised. He only sensed the arrival of the pale-faced man after he made his move. He had not noticed the pale-faced man's presence at all before.

Faced with the pale-faced man's attack, Huo neither dodged nor avoided, letting the other man strike his back with a palm.

"Snapped!"

After a soft sound, Huo remained standing still, casually putting the manual back on the bookshelf.

"who are you?"

While Huo remained calm and composed, the pale-faced man was filled with trepidation.

As someone capable of guarding the royal library, the pale-faced man, if not ranked in the top three in the entire martial arts world, would certainly be in the top ten.

The unfamiliar young man stood there unharmed after taking his blow, making the pale-faced man wonder if he was hallucinating from a qi deviation.

Otherwise, when did such a powerful figure emerge in the martial arts world?

Faced with the pale-faced man's attack, Huo did not fight back. After all, he had sneaked into someone else's library without making a sound, so he was in the wrong.

Moreover, the Book of Collections never accepts humans, so even killing the pale-faced man would not benefit Huo at all.

Now that he's seen the martial arts manuals and met the masters, Huo is still somewhat disappointed.

He thought he would be transported to some high-level martial arts world, but judging from the strength of the library guard, he was at most at the level of a level 14 or 15 ordinary player, which was far from meeting Huo Huan's requirements.

In that case, there's no point in staying in this world anymore.

Under the wary gaze of the pale-faced man, Huo stretched out his hands and tore open the air.

A temporary dimensional portal was created instantly. After selecting a dimension, Huo stepped into it and disappeared from the spot.

"An immortal!" Huo Huan's performance startled the pale-faced man so much that he knelt down on the ground.

Unfortunately, Huo completely ignored the other party's thoughts and left this plane directly.

The next day, rumors spread throughout the palace that an immortal had visited, but only one person, a pale-faced man, actually saw him, and the story did not spread widely.

On the other hand, Huo's luck ran out after leaving this martial arts world. He entered several worlds in succession, all of which were primitive planets without any signs of life.

Fortunately, Huo had already reached the legendary level, and his body was almost indestructible, allowing him to survive in any harsh environment, which prevented him from dying directly in the harsh conditions.

Time and again, under Huo's increasingly numb gaze, a plane containing life finally appeared.

It seems that only a few planes exist where life exists. I was really lucky to be able to find myself the last few times.

While marveling at the situation, Huo also looked up to observe his surroundings.

Before him lay a bustling modern metropolis, while Huo found himself in a free park.

I glanced at the appearance and clothing of the common people in the city. They were all ordinary Central Asian faces, and most of them were wearing modern clothes. However, there were also a few people wearing armor, Hanfu, magician's clothing, and the like.

Is it cosplay? But at least you don't have to change your clothes or appearance.

Looking at the clothing of that small group of people, Huo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

However, none of that matters. Let's learn about this dimension first.

With this thought in mind, Huo walked towards the old man in the park and then used a seductive ray to control him.

Then the old man and the young man sat on a bench in the park and began to chat.

Several tens of minutes later, Huo also got a general understanding of this plane from the old man.

Unlike most of the planes Huo had stayed in before, this plane, although it had developed impressive technology, was itself a high-magic plane.

The combat style is also different from that of ordinary classes; the combat style in this world relies heavily on cards.

Everything can be sealed into cards; all the extraordinary powers that humans can wield come from cards.

As for how the cards came about, they were naturally created by human card masters after humans hunted extraordinary materials in other dimensions.

Huo was naturally interested in the cards in this world, but obtaining them through legitimate channels was extremely difficult.

Because Huo was an unregistered person in this world, with no identity documents whatsoever.

Furthermore, the currency settlement in this dimension is not based on ordinary gold, silver, or paper money, but on a digital currency called credit points, which is linked to personal identity information.

This means that if Huo wants to buy cards, he needs to obtain a normal identity first.

Unless Huo takes other routes, such as the black market or double-crossing.

However, having just arrived in this plane, Huo is completely unaware of these ways of doing things. After all, you can't expect an old man in a park to know about these gray areas.

Chapter 248

Leaving the park, Huo walked onto the bustling street, surrounded by people coming and going.

In Huo Huan's perception, the spiritual power of the humans here is generally high, which may be related to the power pattern of this plane.

Along the streets, in addition to some regular shops, you can occasionally see shops selling trading cards.

Huo also obtained a lot of information from the old man, including some routine information as well as information about other dimensions.

In this dimension, each city has its own multiple alternate dimensions.

Or rather, all cities are built around other dimensions.

Since we can't buy cards for the time being, why don't we go into another dimension and take a look?

For Huo, the cards might be quite appealing, but the monsters in the alternate dimension are clearly more important.

After passing through several streets, Huo quickly arrived at the teleportation point in the alternate dimension.

Although the city is built around an alternate dimension, the alternate dimension is not inside the city, but in the city's suburbs.

At the same time, each alternate dimension will be guarded by soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the area are mainly there to detect monsters in the alternate dimension and prevent them from rioting and breaking out of the alternate dimension to cause damage to the city.

It can also prevent unrelated personnel from freely entering and exiting the alternate dimension.

After glancing at the portal that resembled a teleportation gate, Huo immediately concealed himself and walked into it.

The soldiers stationed at the entrance to the alternate dimension seemed to sense something, turning around to look around, but they still couldn't find anything.

Upon entering the portal to another dimension, Huo found himself on an unfamiliar grassland in the blink of an eye.

After the brief journey, Huo was certain that the so-called interdimensional gate was indeed a teleportation array.

It's just unclear why these portals persist; perhaps the people of this world used some special method?

Standing on the grassland, Huo Huan could only see a few scattered colorful spheres in his field of vision.

Are these slimes?
