BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84 Albert City
Everyone knows that a Union Overseer Country is divided into three regions, core, inner, and outer. But these regions were decided randomly or had fixed boundaries.
The factor that decided these regions were the Dimensions, and who could live there depended on their firepower against Dimensions.
The Temple Dimensions were at the heart of an overseer country, and in five-hundred miles, there was no trace of any dimensions.
It was a strange phenomenon known as Temple Rule in which around a five-hundred-mile radius of a temple dimension, any rank dimension couldn\'t appear.
So, the core region was built around this 500-miles radius area of a dimension temple, and everyone wanted to live there. Because first, it was absolutely safe without any worry about a dimension popping out of nowhere. Second, the concentration of mana was densest in this core region, especially closest to the Temple Dimension.
However, it wasn\'t the case for inner or outer regions because the chances of a dimension appearing in these areas were massive, especially the out region since it was the furthest away from the temple dimension.
Altogether humans can now harness the resources of dimensions, but there was naturally a limit to the dimensions they could harness.
A third-grade city in the outer region could only handle Iron or Bronze Ranks Dimensions, while a second-rate city in the inner region holds power to go against a silver or even golden rank dimension.
As for the first-rate cities in the core region, they are rumored to be on par with Platinum Rank Dimensions, and only the temple cities were capable of holding off against Dark Platinum Rank Dimensions.
Meaning if, by any chance, a second-grade city becomes the focal point of a platinum-rank dimension, then they can only run and hide in the dimension until the dimension gate for formed and helps arrives.
The Slum Districts were the prime example of this kind of thing as they were completely helpless against the underworld dimension and turned into dimension slaves within one day.
That\'s why everyone wanted to live in the core regions so they could not suffer this kind of fate.
But it was far easier said than done since only elites and their families were granted access to the core region.
Albert City was the third-grade city located in the most barren area of the Cloudless Country. This city was already built two times since it had become the focal point of bronze rank dimensions two times, and both times, they managed to come back.
Furthermore, there were ten iron rank dimensions and one bronze rank dimension under this city\'s jurisdiction which means this city has full control over eleven dimensions, and they can decide who to send inside and implicate any rule.
This could be said to be one of the perks of being a city recognized by the magic union. A third-grade city could control 20 iron dimensions and two bronze dimensions as long as it had the power to conquer them.
Of course, they had to pay a certain amount of dimension resources every year to the magic union. Still, it was worth every penny since a dimension seemed to never run out of resources despite their limitation on how much they could harvest in a period of time.
That\'s why those families who controlled these cities were quite rich, and they didn\'t bother by the fact they were in constant danger if some high-ranking dimension decided to choose their city as its starting point.
The Albert Family, the ruling power of Albert City, also had another duty which was to monitor the forsaken lands known as slum districts.
But now, they were completely free from this responsibility as some dimension finally decided to get rid of those useless exiles for good.
Not only that but to find the mystery behind it, many people were rushing to Albert City, which skyrocketed its business economy. These people had very high status in the cloudless country.
It could\'ve been turned into a long-term business and benefited the city tremendously if the dimension formed in the slum district hadn\'t been destroyed the other day.
Now, this source of happiness has become a sour thumb in the ruling family\'s heart, and they could only curse that bastard who ruined their good fortune.
If they had known that the \'bastard\' had just crossed the city gates of their city, no one knows what kind of reaction they would have had.
Cyrus, who wore a blank white mask, calmly walked on the bristling streets of Albert City with two beauties on his side. While Hilda was calm and aloof, Rita, who now wears a peach color veil, was looking at everything with childlike curiosity.
The reason for hiding their appearances was quite simple, as Cyrus knew this would only draw unwanted attention.
But this move still drew attention from the passerby as they were looking mostly at Rita and Hilda, who was still quite charming despite their hidden faces.
Rita now also had a unique charm toward the opposite sex, and if he hadn\'t told her to wear the veil, many men would\'ve been already seeking trouble with them.
According to Hilda, the ten clans will likely search the slum districts for a few days before they windrow. Her uncle might\'ve already done so, but she wasn\'t sure.
So, Cyrus wanted to keep a low profile until those clans left the outer region after quenching their curiosities about the slum district, and Eve would also be done evolving. Only then would he put the ingenious plan in motion.
Right now, he was planning on teaching the girls and collecting more LXP from Albert City. Although he didn\'t know if his scheme would work or not, he wanted to try it to see if he could collect LXP in other ways.
"How much money do you have?" Cyrus looked at Hilda and questioned.
Hilda didn\'t know what Cyrus was planning, so she replied, "I should have around a hundred million Union Credits on my identity card."
"So rich!" Rita was dumbfounded as she exclaimed while looking at Hilda in awe.
She knew the Union Credit was the common currency of the Regal World approved by the Magic Union, and Hilda was the heiress of the Silver Wing Clan, one of the top ten ruling powers of this world, but she never expected to be so rich.
She didn\'t even see 10,000 coins in the slum district, yet Hilda had more hundred million to her name. This made her somewhat sad.
Cyrus chuckled and advised, "These credits are nothing but some empty numbers. The true wealth lies in physical resources. The precious resources couldn\'t be bought through just money and only equal exchange."
"Easy for you to say who didn\'t even have those numbers." Rita giggled as she joked. She wasn\'t afraid of Cyrus anymore as she was completely at ease around him now.
But Hilda was as presumptuous as her, but her eye twitched slightly.
Cyrus gave the mischievous girl a side glance before he shrugged his shoulder, "So, what if I don\'t have them? At least my Dao Companion have, and I have no shame in talking to them as well. Of course, only if Hilda didn\'t have a problem with that."
Rita was bewildered by Cyrus\'s lack of shame while Hilda\'s eyes spasmed, and she replied, "I have no problem. They are useless to me since I have Lord Cyrus teaching now." Her voice contained a hint of a smile.
"See?" Cyrus beamed at Rita before he said to Hilda, "Let\'s go buy a large shop in this city, and then I\'ll give you a list of materials to buy them. I\'ll refine Qi pills for you guys to complement your cultivation progress even further."
Both girls\' eyes lit up upon Cyrus\'s promise as they knew anything coming from him wouldn\'t be a bad thing.
"Why do you need a shop? Are you planning to sell pills?" Rita asked curiously, while Hilda also wanted to know the answer.
Cyrus mysteriously smiled, "You\'ll find out soon. Let\'s buy a shop first."
Rita pouted but didn\'t pester him anymore. Hilda\'s expression was unknown, but they were both curious about what kind of shop Cyrus wanted to open.
The party of three didn\'t have to wander around for long as they paved their way toward the real estate agent in the south of Albert City.
The receptionist was quite startled seeing the tall masked man with two gorgeous beauties by his side. But she didn\'t react much as she knew many people from other cities like to conceal their appearances, so as long as they won\'t cause trouble, no one would force them to reveal their identities.
In any city affiliated with the magic union, no one dared to cause trouble, and these people\'s common enemies were dimension creatures.
However, once they were inside the Dimensions, it was the rule of the jungle there as the human true nature surface in the place without any rules.
The receptionist led the group into a private room where they were introduced to another gorgeous lady wearing a white business suit with a tight blue shirt showcasing her mature figure.
She was the boss of this agency, Milly!
