Philip quickly got used to this environment. At this point, he could only take one step at a time. The land of the other shore was not as peaceful as Philip thought. He had to proceed with caution just to stay alive and wait for the opening of the stargate again after three years! At the same time, he had to find clues about the Multidew Herb and his mother in this world. He had to keep a low profile now. The little girl giggled and said, “This isn’t a sewer but an underground city. Low-class citizens like us can only live underground!” Low-class citizens? Underground city? Seeing Philip's stunned expression, the little girl skipped up to Philip. “What’s wrong? You’re not going to tell me that you're not a low-class citizen, are you? “But if you’re not a low-class citizen, why did you damage the mecha of the captain of the mecha patrol team?” The little girl said with a smile on her face. As far as she knew, the people living above the underground city were middle
Philip tossed Penn heavily on the ground in a back slam. Penn felt like his whole body was about to break. However, he kept cursing, “Damn it! How dare you touch me? I’m afraid you don’t know who I am!” Philip glanced at the guns aimed at him and suddenly twisted Penn's arm and grabbed his neck. “Let go of him and we might spare your life!” Those people shouted coldly. However, Philip glanced at them and said, “Spare my life? If I let go, I’m afraid you’ll shoot without hesitation!” After getting involved in a dispute for no reason in an unfamiliar world and environment, Philip would not easily trust anyone. His background and identity were special, so he could not allow anything to happen to him! Besides, underground cities like this appeared often in sci-fi movies and TV dramas of his original world. The people here should be quite dangerous. “If you put your guns away now, I might spare his life,” Philip looked at those people and said lightly. Facing such people
“Is your level higher than three stars?” the old man asked suddenly. Seeing Philip looking at the old man blankly, Emily wondered, “Don't you know about star talent? Where did you come from? Those old abandoned places?” Philip did not comment, and Emily thought she guessed it right. She muttered, “So, you came from the wilderness. No wonder you look so dumb.” Then, Emily held her arms akimbo and explained like a teacher, “We have a division of strength here, and the higher the level, the more advanced the mecha that can be controlled!” Then, Emily explained to Philip about the division of strength in this world. This world was not called the land of the other shore but the Starfall Continent. Philip finally found out that in this new world, strength was divided into one to nine stars, holy tier, and god tier. Although Philip did not know what his half-step to the other shore was equivalent to in this world, it must be higher than three stars. After thinking about it, Ph
At this moment, Philip actually grabbed one of the burly men’s arms and lifted him! “Put me down. Let go!” The man struggled and yelled at Philip. Hearing that, Philip simply sighed. Then, he threw the man heavily on the floor. This time, the two people beside Emily also rushed toward Philip. Philip sneered at them. They were just relying on their brawn to be domineering. In fact, their strength was only equivalent to the third zone of the ancestral land. Philip only needed one hand to deal with them. Philip moved and punched the two of them, sending them flying away. Then, he dragged the man from the floor and tossed him out. He closed the door promptly. However, to Philip's surprise, Emily kept repeating on the floor, “Oh no, this is bad. They’ll definitely come after us again! Philip pulled Emily up and said, “Don’t worry, I’m still around!” Hearing that, Emily shook her head. “It’s no use, Philip. You should leave quickly. Their boss is a five-star mec
As Philip stacked the planks at the door, several people suddenly rushed over. “Are you the one who beat up our buddies sent by Leopard?” Philip noticed that these people wore similar outfits and knew they must belong to the same gang as the three burly guys. Philip nodded and said, “Yes, that’s me!” Those people sneered at Philip and said, “Come with us, then!” After the man finished speaking, he grabbed Philip's arm. Philip wanted to fight them at first, but when he turned around, he saw Emily and the old man who just stepped out and suppressed the urge to do so. “Kid, you’d better behave, or I can’t guarantee what we’ll do!” Hearing that, Philip glanced at the man who spoke. “You don’t have to grab me. I can walk!” Philip said calmly and started walking. Emily had helped him before, so when he saw these people bullying Emily, Philip chose to help her. However, his action offended these people. Philip followed them and soon saw a place similar to an undergro
At this moment, Leopard started a betting pool. “I’ll open a handicap betting pool today. Let’s bet on how long this kid can survive!” “One minute. I’ll bet 1,000 star dollars!” “I bet 2,000 star dollars that he can only survive for 30 seconds!” In an instant, everyone was attracted by Leopard’s handicap betting pool. Everyone placed a bet, and most of them were guessing how long Philip would survive. In the arena, the two people controlling the mechas were already sweating profusely. That was because they realized that even with the mecha’s protective shield, they could not compete with Philip. Philip's movements were very agile, simply beyond their expectations. Although Philip did not know much about the mechas of this new world, he did have one experience fighting a patrol mecha. He did not attack any other places but focused on the heads of these two mechas. Philip moved and barely avoided the punch a mecha threw at him. Then, Philip jumped onto the mecha.
At this point, anyone could tell that something was wrong, but the problem was that this person could take down two mechas single-handedly. People like them were hardly a match for him. Pointing a gun at Philip, Leopard asked, “Did you do this?” Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, “Of course, who else?” However, although Leopard was holding a gun in his hand, he said with a smile on his face, “Buddy, since you’re so strong, why don’t we work together? We can organize a battle between man and mecha. It’s guaranteed to make a profit!” Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing Leopard’s suggestion! They also put away their guns. Philip smiled lightly and said, “Sounds good!” Hearing that, Leopard was full of smiles with a hint of smugness. However, Philip’s next words made his face go dark. “But why should I work with you? Are you worthy?” Leopard sneered and said, “Fine, you have guts. But let’s see if your guts are tougher than my gun!” Before h
Philip pulled Emily into the house and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just had a few words with Leopard, that’s all.” At this moment, a tall and slender woman suddenly walked in. Several men followed behind her. Although they also held guns in their hands, Philip could see that they were a little weaker than Leopard’s men. “Emily, we’ll go to Leopard’s place for the rescue now.” However, before she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Philip's hand that was holding Emily. “Jerk, let go of Emily!” the woman shouted angrily. Philip finally took a closer look at this woman, who had light makeup on her delicate face. Although she was not exactly gorgeous, she still had her charms. With her curvy figure, she was enough to be considered a first-class beauty. Emily quickly broke free from Philip's grab and said to the woman, “Iris, you misunderstood.” Before Emily could finish speaking, Iris shielded Emily behind her. “Don't be afraid, Emily. With me around, no one can h
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
