Chapter113-The Dazzling Chaos City
"Hey, brother, need a ride?"
A bright yellow taxi pulled up in front of Velen, looking all too familiar.
Velen squinted. Wasn't this the same snobby taxi driver he had encountered during his first visit to Chaos City?
"Base fare is 10 Chaos Cards. Within five kilometers. After that, it's 5 Chaos Cards per kilometer. I can also give you a tour of Chaos City!"
The driver, noticing Velen's relatively low level, immediately lost interest. His voice turned cold, and he was about to step on the gas and drive away.
"Find someone for me." Velen opened the car door and got in without hesitation.
He knew these drivers were extremely well-connected in Chaos City.
"Who are you looking for? Finding people costs extra. Can you even afford it?"
The driver shot Velen a skeptical look through the rearview mirror.
Chaos Cards were extremely valuable—this low-level nobody probably couldn't even afford the fare.
Without a word, Velen casually waved his Chaos Card in front of the driver.
"Find her for me, and I'll pay you 100,000 Chaos Cards."
The driver was about to mock him for boasting, but then his eyes landed on Velen's Chaos Card and the long string of digits displayed on it.
His jaw nearly hit the floor as he rubbed his eyes frantically.
"One… two… three… four… Holy crap—a hundred million Chaos Cards?!"
The driver practically jumped out of his seat.
In all his years driving in Chaos City, customers who could drop 100,000 Chaos Cards were rare.
A million? Never seen it.
A hundred million? Not even in his wildest dreams!
"Sir! My dear VIP! Who are you looking for?"
The driver instantly transformed, wiping the drool from his mouth, his expression fawning like a well-trained pet.
"Her name is Anastasia. She was teleported into Chaos City at the same time as me."
Velen paused and added, "She's young. Beautiful."
The driver's enthusiasm deflated slightly as he sighed regretfully.
"Sir, to be honest, teleportation into Chaos City is almost completely random. And Chaos City is massive. Finding someone here in a short time is nearly impossible!"
Velen frowned and quickly pulled up his system interface.
"System, can Fate's Trojan determine Anastasia's location?"
Since this was Chaos City, he wasn't entirely sure if the system would work.
"Host, the system transcends all. It remains fully functional within Chaos City and will not be detected by any entity."
Hearing this, Velen relaxed and immediately activated Fate's Trojan.
He still had three uses left for the day, so why not?
"District D, Commercial Street!"
After getting the precise coordinates from Fate's Trojan, Velen wasted no time giving the order.
"Understood, VIP! It'll take about four hours to reach District D!"
With that, the taxi sped off, accelerating to full speed.
Meanwhile, in District D, Chaos City
Anastasia, dressed in a simple yet elegant long dress, wandered through the unfamiliar streets of Chaos City, utterly stunned by the sheer opulence surrounding her.
Just casually passing by a shop, she noticed mana planets being sold!
Mana planets!
These celestial bodies contained highly concentrated mana, making them incredible resources for awakeners, essential for leveling up.
In most star systems, these were extremely rare treasures.
Yet here? They were readily available, as if they were common goods!
Anastasia's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, eager to buy one.
Such an item would be immensely beneficial for herself and Fortress!
However, when her eyes landed on the price tag, she froze.
1,000,000 Chaos Cards.
Even the lowest-grade mana planets started at one million!
Anastasia's mouth twitched.
A single high-grade mana crystal could only be exchanged for one Chaos Card.
And those high-grade mana crystals were incredibly rare and precious.
Even if she pooled together every single high-grade mana crystal in the Ducal Manor's entire treasury, she wouldn't even come close to affording this.
"Velen was right—this place is insanely extravagant… but these prices…"
She shook her head in disbelief and decided to explore more, hoping to find something slightly more affordable.
Then, she walked past a store selling Starry Stones.
Inside, the shelves were filled with various Starry Stones of different sizes and grades.
Anastasia's desire to buy everything skyrocketed.
Until she checked the price tag.
2,000,000 Chaos Cards.
Even more expensive than the mana planets!
She let out a deep sigh.
I was too impulsive.
Taking a deep breath, she continued her exploration.
This place had everything from all the major star systems!
Even Lv9 Forge, a treasure sought after by entire galaxies, was on sale.
The price? 6,000,000 Chaos Cards.
Everything here was top-tier, but the prices left her speechless.
Just how rich would someone have to be to afford this kind of shopping spree?!
Still, despite her shock, she couldn't deny the temptation.
Every useful item she could think of was available here.
This was the ultimate shopping paradise.
If she could go on a spending spree here, not only would she be able to return to the Upper Plane Universe for revenge, but Fortress and Ducal Manor would gain an unbelievable boost in power.
Now, she understood why so many top-tier powerhouses chose to work in Chaos City instead of leaving.
Yes, everything was expensive, but the chance to earn and obtain these items made it worth it.
For the rich, this place was heaven.
For the poor, this place was pure agony—seeing all these treasures yet being unable to buy anything was sheer torture.
After some time, Anastasia felt overwhelmed from looking at so many incredible items.
She was just about to search for Velen when— Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
A taxi pulled up nearby.
Anastasia blinked.
A taxi in Chaos City?
That was no small deal.
Here, every Chaos Card was precious—owning and driving a taxi meant serious influence.
Then, the car door opened.
And stepping out was—
Velen.
For a brief moment, Anastasia was stunned.
Then, her excitement took over as she rushed up to him.
"Velen! Earlier, you said that last time you left Chaos City, you exchanged a lot of Chaos Cards. Was that true?!"
Velen nodded casually. "Of course it was."
"How many?"
"Not much. Just about one hundred million Chaos Cards."
Anastasia's eyes widened in shock.
She now understood the prices in Chaos City—high, but worth it.
With one hundred million Chaos Cards, Velen could buy an insane amount of high-tier treasures!
A sudden thought struck her.
"Wait—Velen, the things you've been spending in Fortress and Ducal Manor… did you buy them here?!"
Velen shook his head.
Most of the things he had given away came from system refreshes and rewards—they had nothing to do with Chaos City.
Then, glancing at the surrounding shops, Velen's eyes lit up.
"Anastasia! I can finally craft my Starry Stone Toilet!"
"Let's go crazy shopping!"
Since the pass had a time limit, he had already wasted a lot of it searching for Anastasia.
Now was the time to splurge!
Hearing this, Anastasia felt a rush of excitement.
In Chaos City, you couldn't buy trash—everything was top-quality!
But then she remembered Velen's reckless spending habits…
If left unchecked, who knew what bizarre things he'd buy?
He had to be controlled!
Without hesitation, she dashed into the nearest store and, seeing an array of rare elixirs, declared loudly:
"I'll buy EVERY ELIXIR IN THIS SHOP!"
The store clerk looked at her in shock.
"Miss… are you sure? The total cost will be nearly ten million Chaos Cards."
"Of course!" Anastasia said confidently.
With Velen's 100 million Chaos Cards, she had nothing to fear!
The clerk hurried off to fetch the manager.
But before he could leave, Velen suddenly called out,
"Kidd? What the hell are you doing here?"
The young man turned around, startled.
What do you think?
