Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1335 Star Sea (140)

Walking on the bustling main street of Lionheart City is like stepping into a bizarre and motley world, dizzying and enchanting.

The surrounding skyscrapers resemble a forest, looking up, you can’t see the top—all you see are countless holographic images constantly changing, all of which are various large-scale advertisements.

Deafening roars occasionally came from behind Wang Chen and then brushed past like a gale, leaving only fleeting trails of lights in their wake.

It was groups of men and women street racing, riding modified hover bikes on the streets in a deadly race, leaving the pursuing police cars far behind in the dust.

Beside the sidewalks, you could easily find drunks who drank too much—some hugging trash cans and vomiting violently, others lying on the ground unconscious, and many homeless people curling up in the corners wrapped in blankets, eyes dull and lifeless.

Scenes like these are unseen even in Holy Light City, let alone in Taiwu City.

But in Lionheart City, people were evidently accustomed to it.

"Sir, would you like to buy a flower?"

A little girl of about seven or eight ran up to Wang Chen, holding a large bouquet of roses, her small upturned face smeared with dirt, and her big eyes filled with a hopeful look.

Wang Chen stopped, took a rose, and handed back a hundred Star Currency bill in return.

The little girl beamed with joy, "Thank you, thank you, sir! May the Star God always protect you!"

Wang Chen smiled faintly.

The most prevalent belief in the Holy Light Empire is the Star God. Countless believers trust that the holy light of the Star God will shine upon the empire forever.

After seeing off the flower-selling girl, Wang Chen’s gaze fell upon the entrance of a nearby nightclub.

This nightclub, named "VISE," appeared very large, with its advertising sign spanning dozens of meters, above which holographic images of twisting human bodies danced fervently to the music, filled with a magical atmosphere.

Most importantly, a long line had formed in front of the nightclub, with many young people dressed in exotic attire and alternative fashion playing with their personal terminals while patiently waiting.

Wang Chen glanced over, and they were all ghostfire youths and spirited girls!

His eyes flashed, and he stepped forward.

At the front of VISE Nightclub stood two burly men, expressionlessly guarding the gate, only letting one person in when another came out from inside.

Wang Chen didn’t queue and walked straight ahead, immediately being stopped by one of them: "Do you have a reservation?"

With a flip of his wrist, Wang Chen revealed a stack of Star Currency bills and slapped them onto the man’s chest.

The brutish-looking bouncer instantly broke into a big smile, quickly unbuckling the barrier rope: "Please, go in!"

In nightclubs like this, there are two types of people who enjoy special privileges.

One is beautiful women, and the other is the wealthy.

Wang Chen evidently belonged to the latter.

Stepping through the door, he entered a corridor paved entirely with mirrored glass, with pounding, intense electronic music mixed with an indescribable aura engulfing him.

When Wang Chen reached the end of the corridor, it suddenly opened into an enormous, chaotic space before him!

On the high stage, girls with sizzling figures danced energetically, with DJs behind them frantically mixing tracks, striving to excite the guests’ nerves.

Surrounding the stage were the booths, bar, and activity areas, each filled or crammed with people.

Scantily clad nightclub girls, wearing only the bare minimum, flirtatiously served drinks to guests; occasionally, fireworks exploded in the air!

Madness, confusion, spontaneity, decadence...

This nightclub was like a huge, bottomless dye vat, coloring everyone who entered with special hues, amplifying their emotions infinitely.

In contrast, newcomer Wang Chen appeared somewhat out of place.

He didn’t blend into the revelers but instead found an empty seat in front of a row of bars to sit down.

"Get me a cocktail."

Causally dropping a few large bills, Wang Chen tapped the counter, saying, "Whatever you’re best at."

The bartender was a stunning lady who deftly collected the money and gave Wang Chen a professional smile: "One moment."

A few minutes later, Wang Chen took a sip of the newly mixed cocktail and glanced towards the nearby dance floor.

The bartender smiled and asked, "Sir, is this your first time at our VISE?"

Wang Chen nodded, "Yes, business here is booming."

"Of course it is."

The bartender proudly said, "Our VISE is the best nightclub in all of Lionheart City. You probably came after seeing the online travel guides, right?"

Wang Chen remained noncommittal.

The bartender gave him a coquettish look, "Sir, would you like me to introduce you to a couple of girls to play with? Being here alone isn’t much fun, you know!"

"Thank you."

Wang Chen tossed out a few more bills, "How about another drink, but change the flavor this time, and I don’t need the girls."

The bartender took the money and mixed another drink, but she clearly hadn’t given up: "Rest assured, the girls I introduce are guaranteed to be pretty and clean, no scamming!"

Wang Chen was evidently someone who had just arrived from another planet, young and handsome, and generous with his spending. If it weren’t for the nightclub rules, she’d even consider personally accompanying him.

Wang Chen chuckled, "Alright then."

The bartender was overjoyed, "Please wait, I’ll arrange it right away!"

This nightclub girl was quite skilled; she not only arranged for Wang Chen two young girls with quite top-notch looks and figures but also secured a small booth.

Though it was in the corner, lounging on a sofa, having a girl on each side was pure enjoyment!

With Wang Chen such hospitality, he was naturally not stingy and immediately ordered forty to fifty thousand Star Currency worth of drinks.

This made the two accompanying girls smile like blooming flowers, simultaneously giving warm kisses from either side.

In nightclubs like VISE, wealthy indulgents and second-generation riches are a common sight, but rarely do you see a "very clean" young tycoon like Wang Chen.

Thus, Wang Chen enjoyed excellent service.

He neither rushed nor refused, smiling as he played drinking games with the two pretty girls.

When they finished the drinks ordered before, he’d casually order another round.

Calm and unflustered, he moved freely, making the girls’ eyes sparkle and their goodwill towards him rise sharply.

However, Wang Chen’s lavish spending and carefree demeanor also drew some attention.

To those who frequent nightclubs often, someone like Wang Chen—generous yet a fresh face—is akin to a cash cow!

Quickly, a young man with slicked-back hair came over, grinning, "Bro, want to try something exciting?"

He showed Wang Chen a small chip, lowering his voice, "I guarantee you’ll have a blast!"

Seeing this young man, the two girls beside Wang Chen instinctively shrank back, a flash of fear passing through their eyes, as they lowered their heads silently.

Wang Chen glanced at him, then uttered a single word: "Scram." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
