"A thousand dollars for a night? Why don't you grab it?! ”

In the lobby of an ordinary hotel, Zheng Shu couldn't help but slap his hands on the counter after hearing the offer from the hotel's customer service staff.

At this time, it was already the sixth hour after the end of the Great Collapse, and Zheng Shu really couldn't think of what he wanted to do, or because there were not many things to do, he didn't have a clue for a while.

So he decided to find a place to live first, but he had experienced such earth-shattering changes, so Zheng Shu searched all over New York, and finally found only such a hotel that was still open.

As for going to the government for help or something, there is no need to be delusional, but this is the United States, which is a country where the government will send troops with guns to suppress it instead of coming to relieve the disaster after a natural disaster such as a flood or earthquake.

What's more, the damage caused by the collapse just experienced is indeed not small, and the basic political system of the entire New York City is estimated to have not eased up.

And until the two parties sign a contract between humanity and the other world, New York City will not receive assistance from the U.S. government for the time being.

In other words, in the remaining two days, Zheng Shu could only find a way to find a place to live.

The hotel staff behind the counter seemed to be accustomed to Zheng Shu's reaction, and still maintained that polite appearance, but the words that came out of their mouths were shocking:

The guest joked, how can robbery make money so quickly. And our hotel, although expensive, is definitely great value for money. New York City has just undergone a huge change, and although it has stabilized for the time being, it is unclear what the future holds. The use of force in our hotel is able to ensure your safety. ”

As he spoke, the customer service staff vaguely glanced at several security guards next to him.

The security guards were also very cooperative, taking a step forward to show off their firearms.

Not to mention, such dozens of powerful and majestic security personnel in uniform are quite eye-catching.

Of course, it's remarkable that more than half of these security personnel are otherworldly creatures.

Every otherworldly creature has been carefully selected, and it looks extremely tall physically, even the two-meter-tall Zheng Shu looks a little "petite" in front of these otherworldly creatures.

Coupled with a heavy weapon that a normal human can never lift with one hand, it looks quite imposing.

The "introduction" of the customer service staff and security personnel was quite useful, and a few customers who came in with Zheng Shu immediately forgot their previous dissatisfaction after seeing this scene, and excitedly took out their credit cards and swiped them.

"So you don't hide your intention to steal money at all?"

The corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and Zheng Shu looked at the otherworldly creatures among the security personnel with a strange face.

The security uniforms on these guys don't seem to fit, and they should have been remade urgently.

If he's not mistaken, it's been less than thirty hours since the Great Honkai began, right?

Although the future Hersharemz Roth is like this, but in such a short period of time, he can hook up with creatures from another world, and it seems that he has also carried out in-depth cooperation, the owner of this hotel is a little too capable, right?!

Moreover, the relevant affairs have been arranged in such a short time, is this the resilience of New York City businessmen?

Thinking about these messy things in his heart, Zheng Shu tried to struggle:

"You see, we have just gone through an unimaginable upheaval, do we have to raise the price at this time, it's a bit too much to rob while the fire is burning, right?"

The customer service staff is still the old god: "Look at the guest, you are right, we have just experienced a great change, we are going to come out to do business, in order to make more money?" ”

It makes sense, I'm speechless......

Faced with such an honest answer from the customer service staff, Zheng Shu choked.

It seems that because he has been here for too long, the security personnel next to him have become a little unkind, and his palm has even touched the trigger of the weapon.

However, Zheng Shu did not react to their malice, he also knew very well that everyone was extremely nervous in this situation, and with his moral concept, he would not kill these people because of this trivial matter.

So after noticing the gaze of these people, Zheng Shu just sighed helplessly and left the hotel in a gloomy manner.

Coming to the street and looking at the group of confused people around him, Zheng Shu glanced at the sun above his head, but he had a temporary goal.

"I almost forgot that I haven't used money for too long, in the world of ordinary people, the most important thing is to have money."

Scratching his hair, a certain strong man who was enough to destroy the planet was now in distress: "Although it is said to make money, there shouldn't be any shops that want to hire new people in this situation, right?" ”

With Zheng Shu's current level of alchemy, Zheng Shu can refine stones into gold, but there are still some parts of this world that he doesn't know very well, and it will take him a certain amount of time to completely adjust alchemy.

The problem is that the reason why Zheng Shu wants to find a hotel is to find a place to stay for a while, which forms a paradox.

After thinking about it, Zheng Shu went to the center of New York City very simply.

While most of New York City has returned to normal, the closer you get to the city center, the fog gets thicker, and the space and gravity become more disorganized.

Crossing the endless abyss in the heart of New York, you can reach another world.

Compared with the human world, the order in the other world is more chaotic and more respectful.

Since his own morality makes him seem a little constrained by human beings, Zheng Shu is planning to go to the other world to see if he can find a place to stay.

See if there are any unsightly minions ready to rob him or something, and then he can find a place to live.

…… Zheng Shu had indeed planned to do so, but the sudden appearance of a figure in front of him made him change his mind.

The originally steady pace stopped, and Zheng Shu stood in place, quietly looking at the street in the distance.

His place was already quite close to the center of New York City, and the space was starting to get a little out of order, and it was becoming unusually sparsely populated.

Everywhere there were twisted roads that seemed to hang upside down in mid-air, with all sorts of equipment running smoothly in defiance of the laws of physics, and there were even a number of grotesquely shaped giant creatures running back and forth as if they were transporting something.

Zheng Shu even saw a huge Gothic spire-like building suspended in the void, and on the foundation of the building, a large number of crystal clusters were vertically fixed to the space.

Similarly, the fog here is getting thicker.

In the mist where you couldn't see your fingers, a figure wearing a black top hat suddenly appeared.

The other party was holding his cane and sitting upright on a bench on the side of the road.

The upper half of the man's face was covered by a metal mask, and a gentle smile rose into the corners of his mouth as he looked up at Zheng Shu, who had stopped.

The moment he saw the other party, Zheng Shu immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him - one of the thirteen kings: the fallen king Feimto!

Known as the "Fallen King", he is good at causing trouble on a whim, but he has the power to directly destroy the entire human civilization.

Everything about him is a mystery, a genius who doesn't know how many years he lived, and the mysterious existence of the self-proclaimed ruler of the city of Hersharemz Roth in the original book.

After perceiving Zheng Shu's gaze, Phimtor jumped up from his chair like a good friend he hadn't seen for many years, and walked quickly in front of Zheng Shu.

Although he was wearing a gown, his movements were quite active, and the white dress looked like a white coat on his body.

"When I met for the first time, a strong man who suddenly appeared, Mr. Zheng Shu."

Coming to Zheng Shu's eyes, Femto gracefully took off his hat and made a saluting gesture.

"Hello." Zheng Shu also nodded in the same friendly manner, looking at the other party with some confusion, "Is Fei Muto right?" I don't know what you're waiting for me here. ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, because I'm bored, so when I heard that someone was able to defeat that muscular fool of the tyrannical king, I immediately couldn't suppress my curiosity, and planned to come and see you."

At this point, Femto's originally smiling expression collapsed again, and the whole person collapsed on the chair next to him without any attention to the image.

"But! The project here still needs someone to keep an eye on, so I can't leave it for the time being, how uncomfortable it is in my heart, can you know it?! Luckily, you came here on your own initiative, so I hurried over to see you......"

As he spoke, he made exaggerated movements, and he spoke with precision and steady, but also very fast, even making people feel like they couldn't interject.

And listening to his complaints and chattering all kinds of remarks, Zheng Shu could only show a polite smile very embarrassed.

"Ah...... Uh......"

Because of the gap in strength, Zheng Shu rarely met this kind of person who came up to talk to him for no reason.

Most importantly, he didn't feel any hostility towards Femto, all he could feel was endless curiosity.

In fact, in addition to Phimtor, the feeling that the tyrannical king gave Zheng Shu was also a similar situation, there was no hostility, they all came to look for him because they were bored or curious after sensing Zheng Shu's breath.

But it's normal here, after all, the Thirteen Kings are also known as the Thirteen Idle Kings, and they can all stay in their own territory and make a fart.

It's not just them, all the higher-level existences are the same, and they don't know what to do, and when they finally met such a peculiar guy as Zheng Shu, they must have come over one after another to show their faces.

For Zheng Shu, this is also a feeling of novelty and nostalgia in a sense, because in other worlds, it is difficult for him to find someone who is at the same level as him to communicate.

If anything, the last time I was able to have this kind of communication was when I was a volunteer in a welfare home before the first enhancement was carried out in the dragon world.

After thinking about it, Zheng Shu also made it to the other side of the bench where Fei Mu Tuo was sitting, and looked up at the group of strange monsters in mid-air that were constantly transporting various materials on the street, like oversized fleas.

"Those guys were improvised by me and used to transport all kinds of building materials. The messy pile of machinery next to it is something I asked my friend to build for me, and it does the same thing. ”

Seeing that Zheng Shu was interested in these things, Fei Tom immediately came up and introduced them very familiarly.

"Building materials? Are you planning to rebuild New York City? Zheng Shu was a little curious.

"Alas...... yes, you're not from the human world, so I don't know. In fact, the human world and our side have known about the integration of the two worlds for a long time, and have signed a rough treaty.

Due to the complexity and criticality of the city, those fellows asked one of our thirteen kings to be the master of the city. ”

"Oh? So you were chosen? ”

"I can't say that, everyone else basically has their own territory, and there are only a few lonely people who don't have a territory, and I'm really bored and willing to take time out to take a look at this one in this city, so I'm the only one here."

Femto smirked triumphantly:

"Look! I made a wise choice, the city is not yet fully established to meet an amazing guy like you. ”

"What do you mean, it seems like everyone already knows about my existence?" Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows.

"It's not a lot, except for the thirteen of us, only the older ones are left.

The human world shouldn't have had time to notice it, but it's normal, after all, you appeared too suddenly. If it weren't for the fact that there is a superior being who is bored and has to count the creatures that exist in the two worlds every day, he will not find out your existence. ”

"Count the creatures of the two worlds...... Are these higher-level beings so boring?! ”

Even though he had already anticipated the personalities of these guys, Zheng Shu couldn't help but have a toothache when he heard Fei Muto's words.

Feimtor laughed uninhibitedly, "After all, I've lived too long." I've only lived for a thousand or two thousand years to be like this, and some of those old things have lived longer than this planet, and it's normal to be perverted. ”

"Oh no...... That's a little too perverted. Zheng Shu complained silently.

While talking to Femto, Zheng Shu was also observing the situation here.

It is true that there is no way to leave this place for a short time, because even when talking to him, the Fallen King next to him is constantly controlling the building materials with his mind, laying out complex structures in the deepest depths of the endless abyss.

Judging from Zheng Shu's eyes, this should be the enchantment used to stabilize the world on the other side.
