1658 Guessing His Intentions
Hye was standing so far away from that grand building, but it seemed the designers of this place intended to keep all the buildings around at a much lower level than this one, adding more prestige to this building and importance.
“That’s the Bravity group main headquarter,” the nymph lady noticed his eyes stuck to that building, “it’s amazing, right?”
“Indeed,” he nodded in agreement, “are we going there?”
“There? No way! That place is a fortress! No one is allowed to go there without the official invitation from the five families,” she rolled her eyes, and Hye knew it was hard to get there. But that made him more interested in doing this.
“Then where are we going?” he looked around, seeing the lots of people walking in the streets and filling the entire disc layer.
“The place is arranged into different sectors,” she paused as the capsule stopped, and its outer surface opened up, “let’s go. We’ll visit the outer sector first. If we manage to attract their attention, then we’ll get access to the deeper levels.”
“They limit access to their customers?!” Hye was surprised by such an arrangement. He thought everywhere here was open for them to visit, except for the central region. Yet it felt like this wasn’t the case.
“They won’t allow just anybody to come into the deeper sectors if they are poor,” she laughed, while they were walking outside the grand area of capsules and tunnels.
The entire grand structure of these discs was something awe inspiring. Hye felt like he wasn’t going to get satisfied with this place no matter how long he stayed here.
And yet they walked outside of the teleportation area alongside a swarm of people of different races. The area was situated at the outer edge of the entire disc layer, and it led into wide streets and plazas.
Hye looked up and unlike what he expected, he saw a marvellous sight of clouds filling the sky. He expected to see the lower level of the upper disc layer, yet the ones designing the entire place took into consideration such little details.
“Living here feels like heaven, sigh,” Hye couldn’t help but express his admiration towards the beauty of this place. And his comment made the lady nymph chuckle.
“I never saw anyone coming here and didn’t want to continue living in this place, however…” She paused, took a deep breath as if she recalled a long-forgotten dream of hers or something, “the prices in this world are quite scary! To hire a place here means you have to sell your soul, and that even may not be enough.”
“I have my bones…”
“Screw your bones,” she said in a distasteful tone, “do you think everything can be solved with your bones?”
“My bones can’t solve anything,” Hye paused for a moment, took a long gaze around before laughing, “but they can be sold for a scary amount of wealth. And with it, I can do anything.”
“A big bully you are,” she even tucked her tongue out, teasing him. Seeing her reaction made him laugh again.
He was indeed happy, and more excited than being happy. He didn’t feel like these thanks for being in such a heavenly place, but because he dreamt about having all these for himself, for his kingdom, for the empire he was going to build. And that made him more excited than even the moment when he won the apocalypse before.
Recalling the apocalypse made him inwardly sigh. The universe was really big and boundless, filled with tons of wonders and places that no one would ever dream to exist.
He felt like the apocalypse was kindergarten, and the universe was college. The two ended up in front of a five story height building, one where many were standing around and inside.
The building had a big stoney plaza, filled with lots of statues. It was enough to accommodate thousands of people, and it was crowded beyond imagination.
“Is this the place we are going to enter?” Hye didn’t know what the difference between the various buildings or sectors in each disc was. But he trusted the lady nymph to know what she was doing.
He wanted to come to the biggest auction house at the Bravity merchant group, to make a stir and attract the higher ups’ attention to him.
But it seemed he had to start doing this from the lowest bottom. “We have to visit the outermost auction houses of the merchant group first. If the merchants there highly value our pockets, they’ll invite us to visit deeper sectors.”
“I see,” Hye didn’t like doing it the slow way, but he had no other option but to do it this way, “let’s go then.”
“First, tell me what you want to buy,” the lady nymph stopped him. And when he looked in doubt towards her, she added, “as you can see, there are different groups of merchants here, each is specialised in dealing with a certain set of goods.”

“We can ask,” she said something that he didn’t expect. And his expression made her laugh at him, “come on, tell me what you want.”
“I want to purchase valuable goods.”
“There isn’t anything valuable in the outer sectors,” she rolled her eyes, “just spill the beans and tell me exactly what you are looking after.”
“Fine, I want to buy technologies, secrets of this world,” Hye looked around, “I want to purchase everything they have.”
“Quite crazy you are,” she shook her head, “let me then guess it… You came from a world of an apocalypse, have no backing, and didn’t seek the help of the Toranks impact… That means you are seeking items to increase the might of your people, things that can level up your stats and power up your armies, right? Close enough?”
