Chapter 140 – Entering

After the group finished drinking and eating, Zhou Chen pestered Young Master Liu to tell more things about the rapist.
Before long, he took a related bounty notice from the noticeboard and entered the mountain with the sketch of the rapist.
Then, he ordered a large number of animals to help him find this person. He mainly sought the help of birds. This way, as long as the person was still hiding in the mountain, it would be difficult to escape from him.
Like this, he searched the mountain for two days, but he did not find any trace of the rapist.
This was within Zhou Chen’s expectations. Because the Furnace Mountain was very large, it was normal to not be able to find anyone in a day or two.
Before long, Zhou Chen returned to Sword Furnace City and returned to the inn he was staying in. He did not move around anymore because the White Jade Capital was about to appear.
Once the White Jade Capital descended, it would summon everyone with the white jade token. The once-in-a-decade banquet would begin.
This situation was very similar to the Survival missions. He could not help but suspect that the system was behind this.
On this day, Zhou Chen was holed up in his room and did not go out. When he was doing the meditation training of Card Creator, the white jade token in his pocket suddenly emitted a strange fluctuation. He wanted to check what was going on when he realized that he was already in a white hall.
Apart from him, there were nearly a hundred people in the hall. These people were chatting with each other, making the place seem rather lively.
“Boss Qian, I didn’t expect to encounter you at the beginning. You have to take care of me later.”
“Don’t bother me. I have something to do.”
…
“Where is the Pill Chamber? Does anyone know?”
“Hehe, you fool. Do you think others will tell you if they know?”
“You’re asking for it! How dare you scold me!”
“So what! What can you do?”
…
Zhou Chen was speechless as he listened to the natives chatting. Some of them even looked like they were about to fight. He felt that the dignity of the White Jade Capital had been pulled down by them.
But soon, eight doors opened automatically on the four walls of the hall . The guests in the hall immediately rushed to the various doors.
“Time to snatch the treasures!”
Someone shouted excitedly as they charged towards the door.
Then, his voice disappeared after entering the door filled with white light.
Zhou Chen knew that this was normal because the information he had gathered showed that the doors in the White Jade Capital were not ordinary doors. Many of the doors were connected to a small world.
Zhou Chen looked at the eight gates around him, but they all looked the same to him. The information he had gathered showed that the starting doors were relatively safe, and the tests would only happen once they entered a door.
Without hesitation, he walked to the door closest to him along with a few others who made the same choice.
Zhou Chen quickly found himself on a wooden canoe.
The canoe was moving on a roaring sea. There was a moon hanging in the sky.
Within a hundred meters of Zhou Chen’s wooden canoe, there were also other wooden canoes with people on them. They were the other people who had chosen to enter this door.
Zhou Chen could see a small island that was emitting a faint light in the distance. It seemed to be telling them to hurry over.
“Hehe, I’ve roamed the Eastern Sea for many years! This small wave is nothing!”
A young man on the canoe beside Zhou Chen suddenly sneered and jumped off the boat. He stepped on the waves and flew towards the bright island.
“What a powerful lightness skill!”
Another person couldn’t help but praise when he saw this person abandon the canoe and walk on the sea.
Zhou Chen looked at that person for two seconds and realized that nothing happened to him as he walked on the surface of the sea. He also activated the Windrun skill to chase after him.
Zhou Chen’s Windrun skill could provide him with strong support from the wind. Running on the surface of the sea was like walking on land. His feet stepped on the waves and quickly moved across them.
After running for half a minute, Zhou Chen sensed that something was approaching from under the sea through his Bloodthirst passive skill.
“Sharks?”
Zhou Chen quickly determined that it was a shiver of sharks. He did not panic and began to adjust his direction.
“Scram!” The young man in front of Zhou Chen was quickly surrounded by some sharks because he did not know that there were sharks coming. He began to fight on the surface while roaring.
Zhou Chen took a detour and dodged most of the incoming sharks, but he was quickly caught by one.
However, he was prepared. He kicked the shark that had just jumped out of the water, crippling it before rushing to the island at full speed.
The first test of the first door was quickly passed by Zhou Chen. A few minutes later, he walked across the sea to the small bright island and found a pavilion. There was a large brazier burning in the pavilion, and beside the brazier was a wooden boat model.
“This thing is marked by the system?”
Zhou Chen immediately saw that the wooden boat model had a system label.
[Ruyi Boat
A magical boat that can change its size up to a certain extent.]
Without hesitation, Zhou Chen placed the small boat in his inventory. Then, he realized that a bright door appeared out of thin air in the pavilion, as if it was asking him to hurry up and enter.
“This tempo is really fast…”
Zhou Chen stepped through the door and arrived at a new small world.
This small world was a forest. Giant trees towered into the sky. As soon as Zhou Chen arrived, he sensed that many beasts were moving here.
“I’m good at fighting beasts!”
Zhou Chen was not afraid of these animals. He had killed demons and many other monsters.
Zhou Chen looked around and did not find any signs like the small island in the previous small world. He determined that the test here was to walk out of this forest.
“The earlier tests of the White Jade Capital are quite simple.”
Zhou Chen did not use the Windrun skill and quickly walked through the forest with his powerful physique. Just as he walked more than a hundred meters, he felt someone appear from behind him. He immediately understood that it was someone who had passed the previous round.
“This is like a race. I have to guarantee that I will be first, or I won’t gain anything.”
Zhou Chen quickened his pace and kicked the lion-like animals that were harassing him away before running forward.
After running for about half an hour, Zhou Chen exited the forest.
At the outermost part of the forest was a garden of peach trees. When Zhou Chen approached, a large peach immediately grew on a nearby peach tree. Zhou Chen knew that this was his reward for this round.
