After Wang Tianxiong left, Lu Hongfei finally spoke solemnly, "Let's not go out for the next few days. The other side will definitely have spies planted, so it's better to be cautious."

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this and said, "That's exactly why we should go out more."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei was a bit stunned, but he quickly realized the crucial point.

"Yes, we should indeed go out more. It's a rare opportunity to come to Black Mist City, and we must enjoy it to the fullest."

Zhang Yuyan listened to their conversation, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What are you talking about, what's going on?"

Chu Chen smiled and explained, "If we keep hiding in the Daoist school, the other side will surely know that we're on guard. If we keep playing outside, they'll think we haven't noticed anything, which might lower their alertness."

Zhang Yuyan finally understood upon hearing this.

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go quickly." With that, she took the lead and walked out.

Chu Chen and Lu Hongfei exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly, but they still followed quickly.

In the office of the Vermilion Bird Daoist School director in Black Mist City.

"Director Zhang, you must seek justice for Fei'er and Chen'er. The Li Family only had these two geniuses, and we didn't expect both of them to fall in the Secret Realm. It must have been that Chu Chen's doing." The elder surnamed Li lamented.

Zhang Kun's face turned extremely grim upon hearing this. This matter started because of him, and if he doesn't handle it, it might dampen everyone's spirits, and he won't be able to stay in Black Mist City in the future.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Kun spoke in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Elder Li, I will give you an explanation for this. Go and have people keep an eye on them. As long as they dare to leave the city, I will make sure they disappear from this world."

The elder surnamed Li immediately showed joy upon hearing this and quickly said, "Rest assured, I have already arranged for people to watch them."

Zhang Kun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright, you can go back now. I need to plan this carefully."

The elder surnamed Li quickly took his leave.

Watching the departing elder, Zhang Kun's gaze became cold.

A genius from the Assassination Alliance is a heavy crime, and naturally, the fewer people who know, the better.

"It seems the Li Family cannot be left alone," Zhang Kun murmured to himself.

At this time, Chu Chen and the other two had already reunited with the Gu Family siblings.

The siblings seemed even more excited than Chu Chen and the others.

After some inquiries, Chu Chen and the other two finally understood the reason.

In Black Mist City, the Li Family can only be considered a small to medium-sized family, and in over a decade, they only produced these two geniuses. The family spared no effort in nurturing them, naturally taking away most of their freedom.

Aside from attending classes, they spent almost all their time on cultivation with little chance for leisure. This time, Wang Tianxiong spoke up, and since it was work-related, their family couldn't interfere.

The two of them could relax and have fun without worry, so they were naturally extremely excited.

"Tonight, I'll take you to Black Mist City's most bustling Lamp Street," Gu Hui said with a smile.

Before the three could respond, Gu Zhen said excitedly, "Great, I've always wanted to go to the Gambling Egg Pavilion to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the three were immediately interested.

"What's the Gambling Egg Pavilion?"

Through Gu Zhen's explanation, Chu Chen learned that these gambling eggs are similar to gambling stones. If one's lucky, they can gamble on a high-quality Beast Taming Egg and become wealthy overnight, though it's also possible to lose everything with bad luck, so spending rationally is advised.

Gambling eggs don't rely much on skills. Besides personal experience and vision, a certain amount of luck is necessary.

The group chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at Lamp Street.

Chu Chen looked around and found the entire street brightly lit, living up to its name as Lamp Street.

"The name is quite fitting," Chu Chen murmured.

There were hundreds of large and small shops on Lamp Street, with neon lights of various colors hanging outside each door.

Under the illumination of the lights, the whole street was as bright as day.

This was the first time Chu Chen had seen such a scene since his rebirth, and he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

The five of them quickly merged into the street, with each shop having its unique character, the most prevalent being specialty snacks.

Besides Lu Hongfei, Chu Chen and the other three were extremely excited. Even though they had just eaten, they couldn't resist buying some delicious snacks.

Holding a drink in one hand and a snack in the other, their eyes constantly scanned the shop signs, trying to find more delicious food.

However, their eyes were soon drawn to a specialty store of Black Mist City.

Approaching the year's end, Chu Chen and the other two were on a business trip and naturally needed to bring some gifts back.

Upon entering the shop, they found it spacious, with shelves full of dazzling goods.

Chu Chen glanced around and found that the shop sold mostly food, followed by the low-rank Star Treasure, Black Mist Grass, a specialty of Black Mist City, beloved by Dark Attribute herbivore Star Beasts.

The Black Mist Grass not only has excellent taste, but it also contains rich Dark Elements, which can enhance the affinity of Guardian Beasts for Dark Elements if consumed over a long period.

Chu Chen thought it was a pity that neither he nor his family had contracted a Dark Element Guardian Beast, but he bought some anyway.

Ever since his family became wealthy, Father Chu and Mrs. Chu's strength had been steadily increasing. It wouldn't be long before they could contract new Guardian Beasts, and perhaps they would use the Black Mist Grass.

Chu Chen spent nearly a million Alliance Coins, almost filling his Space Belt, and left the shop reluctantly.

Gu Zhen rubbed his round belly and said helplessly, "I can't eat any more; let's go check out the Gambling Egg Pavilion."

Chu Chen quickly nodded in response, now regretting that he hadn't eaten less earlier, knowing there were so many delicious foods here.

A moment later, the group stopped in front of a rather grand building, its scale no less than that of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, with red walls and golden glazed tiles exuding an ancient aura, neon lights hanging from the tiles.

At the top of the building was a large sign with five gilded characters: "Black Mist Gambling Egg Pavilion."

To be named after the city, this Gambling Egg Pavilion's background must be extraordinary.

After Gu Zhen's explanation, the three learned that the Gambling Egg Pavilion turned out to be an industry of the City Lord's Mansion.

The three were naturally surprised, knowing that the main income of the City Lord's Mansion is taxes, and as the administrator, it usually wouldn't actively run an industry.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen explained further.

It turned out that in Black Mist City, the most profitable industry was gambling eggs. The resources invested in city defense and education every year were colossal, and maintaining such a large city required more than just taxes, forcing the City Lord's Mansion to step in personally.

However, under the City Lord's Mansion's lead, the gambling egg industry in Black Mist City became exceptionally prosperous, attracting many experts from other cities to come and play, thereby invisibly boosting other industries in Black Mist City, leading to its rapid economic development.

It's believed that before long, Black Mist City might have the potential to be promoted to a large city. Of course, this also depends on the number and level of high-end combat power in Black Mist City.
