A starry sky, the occasional crow flies by, and a crooked moon hangs in the west......

It's the third day, and the sun still hasn't appeared on the horizon.

This strange phenomenon made Fang Yuhao realize that there may be no sun and no day in this world.

The streets were bustling with people, and the high-powered gas lamps were unusually bright. There was a plump woman in Diagonal Port, who was winking at Fang Yuhao.

This level-3 idealistic world seems to be a strange magical world, and it seems to have reached the high-tech "steampunk" era.

The steam train from afar hissed, bringing with it truckloads of coal and ore. These things are indispensable for the development of the city, and workers quickly load these minerals onto steam locomotives and transport them to all corners of the city.

Fang Yuhao didn't understand why there was such an idealistic world in his mind......

This is the New Orlan Empire, the Boulder City, the commercial street.

Close to the port, the streets are very popular, and steam freighters from afar bring a large amount of cargo, including but not limited to food, rum, jewelry, various spice luxuries, and ...... The soul of man!

Yes, the "human soul", turned into a high-end luxury here - provided that enough taxes are paid!

The customs of Boulder City carefully inspect each merchant ship when storing the cargo, going down to every deck, including the mezzanine between the decks. The nose-sensitive hound is able to detect any clue and is the most hated creature by smugglers.

The customs will stamp a bright red seal on the soul of the human who has paid the tax, indicating that it can be sold legally. But if you find smuggled goods on board, these pickpockets will unceremoniously fine you, ruin your family, give you a whipping in a more serious way, or even strip the smuggler's soul outright!

This was the first time Fang Yuhao had encountered living "human souls", they floated in the air like jelly, looking a bit like a ball of cotton.

After the "soul" is separated from the body, it has no intelligence, just staring ahead in a daze, with a dull and empty gaze.

Vaguely recognizable, it was once the face of a man.

Fang Yuhao asked, "This ...... Inferior human souls, how much does it cost? ”

"463 silver coins...... The soul of an old gambler is of too poor quality. The others have already been sold out, though. The wrinkled old witch tried to pretend to be kind: "This guest, I don't have any contraband here, all of them are goods certified by the customs. With these things, you won't have any trouble. ”

"You can use it to make witchcraft, or you can use it as a sacrifice to please the gods...... Young man, if you want to go to sea, I still have an amulet here, how about selling it for you cheaper? ”

Fang Yuhao asked, "If I buy the soul and stuff it back into the corpse, can he still be resurrected?" ”

"No, of course not! Can only turn into a zombie! The old witch grinned, "Young man, do you want to study the witchcraft of resurrection from the dead?" Haha, I've never heard of someone being stripped of their soul and resurrected, even the purest of souls. ”

Fang Yuhao shook his head, "This is too expensive...... Is there that, is that? ”

He still had a little interest in these things. But if you really want to buy it, it's better to take a little risk and buy contraband.

The difference between contraband and legal items is only whether taxes are paid or not, but the price difference is at least twice as much!

The old witch was also afraid of being enforced by customs fishing, so she hurriedly shook her head: "No, I have regular goods here!" There are no contraband! ”

Unable to find information on the black market for the time being, Fang Yuhao could only sigh. His current main god space can't create any level-3 items. And all the Dao skills and abilities in his body are all invalid.

Wander the streets with heavy steps. With the eternal darkness of the night, there is a slightly oppressive aura that lingers in Boulder City.

This strange world is full of strong Cthulhu style, but many of the rules still have a microcosm of reality, for example, plants still need light to grow, and in a world without the sun, they can only use gas lamps instead of light sources, and as a result, these plants all grow crookedly, like bean sprouts.

Occasionally, you can meet a sorcerer who manipulates souls, sneering in the shadows.

These madmen are able to forcibly stuff human souls into the bodies of frogs or rabbits, causing the frogs or rabbits to mutate uncontrollably. Moreover, the human soul can also be used for alchemy, turning into something like the "Philosopher's Stone". Of course, using the soul for alchemy is definitely a loss, and even if you refine real gold, you will still lose money.

An alcoholic curls up pitifully in his sleeping bag, "Drinking...... Can anyone give me a little wine! Please, good Samaritans, and those who have mixed water! ”

A stream?? The scoundrel took the rum and just passed by.

With great interest, he opened the bottle and put it in front of the drunkard.

Rum gives off a rich alcoholic flavor.

The old drunkard was overjoyed, and thinking that he had met a good Samaritan, he raised his neck with all his might, sniffing like a dog, trying to snatch the bottle.

"Fuck off, it's mine!"

The scoundrel kicked him to the ground, and the old drunkard rolled several times in a row.

The people around laughed without the slightest sympathy, "Old John owes the tavern more than two hundred silver coins, right?" ”

"Yes, in a little while, he will be taken to court and stripped of his soul by the judge to pay off his debts. So he didn't dare to borrow any more money, but there was interest every month! ”

Fang Yuhao just watched for a while, and after learning the general information, he turned around and left. With an astonishing birth rate and mortality rate, the average life expectancy here is only 40 years. Their last possession is their souls.

There is an old pawnshop in the depths of the alley. The owner of the pawnshop looked like a large goblin, with a cunning and treacherous face, and when he saw Fang Yuhao, he hurriedly straightened his glasses.

"Hello, distinguished guest!"

"Do you accept this?" Fang Yuhao took out a round thing from his pocket.

It's a pearl!

…… Leaving aside the process for the time being, it was stolen from a noble lady anyway.

"Pearls." The owner of the pawnshop was shocked, took the pearl, and carefully identified it with a magnifying glass.

Under the dim oil lamp, when he could see clearly that the pearl was emitting a warm pink glow, his eyes flashed with greed.

Superior goods!

"How about 20 silver coins?"

Fang Yuhao shook his head, too lazy to talk nonsense, stretched out his hand, and swept through an afterimage.

He snatched the pearl and walked out the door.

The owner of the pawnshop was taken aback, such a nimble skill did not look like an ordinary person. It can't be a professional thief, right?

He immediately put away his greed.

The pawnshop in Boulder City is far more than him, and he doesn't want to miss this business.

"Wait, 30 credits......"

"40 silver coins!"

"Forty-five, forty-five, no more!" When he spit out the number, it was accompanied by that high-pitched cry, as if a piece of flesh had been cut on him alive.

Fang Yuhao's heart couldn't help but have the weird thought of "he's really pitiful".

"Psychic ability, kind of interesting."

There are so many loopholes in the rules of this level-3 world that basically everyone will have a little trick. It's no surprise that this goblin will do a little trick.

The pawnshop itself is a profiteering industry, and it is not impossible to squeeze out more oil and water, but it will take a long time.

"48 silver coins, not even one less!" Fang Yuhao was too lazy to talk to the other party, and said loudly.

The big goblin looked at Fang Yuhao for a while, but he couldn't see any expression. It was calculating how much it would be able to earn, and finally nodded.

48 credits in hand.

The coins of this world are divided into three types: gold, silver, and copper, in a decimal system. A thin, beer-cap-sized silver coin, 48 silver coins, can fit in a small money bag.

After a deal, the owner of the pawnshop was quite happy, but on the surface, he made a "big loss" look.

"What's that parchment?" Fang Yuhao pointed to a certain place in the container and asked casually.

"Sir, you are so knowledgeable! I'll tell you secretly......" The pawnshop owner inadvertently leaned over and bared a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Fang Yuhao hurriedly stayed away a little.

“…… It's a treasure map! It only takes 10 credits and you'll be able to take it down! You know, the ocean is full of treasures from the last century. If it's true, you can live a noble life after discovering the treasure! ”

That feeling of being persuaded reappeared.

"Treasure map? If it's true, keep it for your own fortune. ”

Fang Yuhao shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in this thing.

In this world, there are indeed treasures hidden in the sea. However, no one knows whether this treasure map is true or not.

They may even be decoys for bandits to spread.

"Hey, I'm old, I'm old. There are not a few years left to live, and the opportunity has to be left to the young people! "The goblin still wants to quibble about the authenticity of the treasure map.

"How much does that world map cost?" Fang Yuhao asked again.

"You're really too discerning, 5 silver coins...... No, 4 ...... Count me at a loss. ”

When the big goblin saw that Fang Yuhao was leaving again, he knew that his spiritual skill had lost its effect, and hurriedly lowered the price again, "2 silver coins, no less!" The map in the bookstore costs at least 3 credits! ”

Fang Yuhao happily paid two silver coins.

He tugged at the map in his hand, and it had a rough jute paper feel.

The goblin got cheap and sold well, as if he had suffered a blood loss, and kept thinking in pieces: "Hey, it's really a loss to do business with you, it's a loss......"

"Where's the box? And what?"

"Ah, that ......" the pawnshop owner frowned, seemingly reluctant to show the crate.

He put a hand to his mouth and whispered, "That's ...... Sunlight! The real sunshine comes from the sunny sea! ”

"If you don't buy it, I'm sorry, I can't show you ......" This guy who tends to be inflammatory, it is obvious that Fang Yuhao cannot afford a luxury such as "Sunshine", and his interest in doing business is not very great.

Fang Yuhao frowned and left the store, the so-called sunshine actually cost 600 silver coins an hour, it was simply inexplicable......

He unfolds the world map under a street lamp.

Ocean, huge ocean.

There are a large number of islands in the middle of the ocean, and on the periphery, there is a thick uncharted territory.

A sea area located on the edge of the world is highlighted, and a few large red characters are written on it - "Sunshine Sea"!

Over there, it's eternal daylight.

Fang Yuhao couldn't help but wonder if this strange planet had been "tidally locked" by the stars.

That is, the planet's rotation speed is equal to its revolution speed. One side of the planet is always facing the sun. That's why there is such an eternal dark night as now, and the so-called sunny sea.

"Maybe ......"

With this guess in mind, Fang Yuhao looked at the distribution of various cities on the map.

In this lightless world, the output of a city is very simple, and there is no way to feed itself. As a result, commercial activity between the islands has been unusually vigorous, and the lack of production has to be compensated for by means of commercial complementarity.

The Boulder City, where he is now, sits on the edge of the Lightless Continent, backed by an entire cold continent. One of the most important resources is produced here – coal!

Coal, the heart of industry, thanks to this, Boulder City is also an industrial city. Thanks to the abundance of energy, Boulder City was able to smelt steel and build a large number of ships.

Situated on the mainland, Boulder City is the center of the entire island community.

Not far away, the volcanic city of "Namenmore" produces a large number of heat-poor plants because of its geothermal energy. These plants not only provide sufficient food, but can also be used to produce light industrial products such as paper and hemp rope.

It is famous for its printing and is a city of culture.

Further east is a huge fishing ground, and Fang Yuhao can't figure out what the fish in the sea eat...... Ocean currents, possibly from the other side of the planet, brought with them an abundance of algae plants.

It's just speculation anyway.

But why don't humans live on the sunny side? Is it because there is no continent? Fang Yuhao was a little puzzled in his heart.

If you think about the world map, there are still a lot of places that you don't know.

In addition to marking clear shipping lanes, this nautical map also has clear standards for marine hydrological elements, seabed topography, offshore landforms, navigation obstacles, navigational aids, ports, straits, islands, wind directions, and directions.

Fang Yuhao read for a long time and found that he had no way to control this knowledge, and finally directly spent 1000 faith fragments to add a [seafaring talent] ability to himself.

Everyone in this world has basic seafaring ability, and if they can't sail, they will most likely be poor, just like the drunkard on the roadside. If you owe too much debt, you will be stripped of your soul and used to pay off your debts. Fang Yuhao didn't want to keep stealing for a living.

"Perhaps, we can find out if the gods of this world really exist......"
