Chapter 71  : Head To Seda’s Stronghold!

Stark’s calm voice rang out.

Daphne thought that Stark would make some special requests.

But she didn’t expect that it would only be this…

“Head to the stronghold?”

Daphne was a little stunned.

“Why, can’t I?” Stark’s brows twitched as he looked at Daphne.

“No, I can take you there,” Daphne said quickly. But for some reason, she felt a little strange.

This man actually didn’t make that kind of strange request to her.

She didn’t know whether she should be happy or disappointed.

“That’s good. There should be a lot of people at the stronghold?” Stark continued to ask.

“Yes, our stronghold is said to be one of the top ten strongholds in Manhattan, called Seda stronghold,” Daphne said quickly when he mentioned this.

“That’s good.” Stark nodded.

What he needed most now was a place with more people.

The appearance of the treasure map fragment of the gold treasure chest made him even more certain of this idea.

If he collected them one by one, he didn’t know how long it would take. If there were more people, everything was possible!

Immediately, under the lead of Daphne, he took out the map and walked towards the Seda stronghold that Daphne had mentioned.

On the streets, due to the influence of the “Monster Carnival,” the zombies had gotten extremely agitated.

Stark stepped forward to open the way. With the slashes of the Sword of God, a large number of zombies turned into his experience and crystals.

Daphne’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him.

Under such a situation, in a short while, the two of them arrived in front of a huge city wall.

However, before they could enter the gate, the two figures who looked like guards in front of the city wall had already extended their hands to block the duo.

“Stop!”

A shout was heard.

One of the guards first glanced at Daphne.

Then, his gaze fell on Stark.

He said calmly, “This guy is new, right? What’s his identity?”

The voice sounded more like a question to Daphne.

This was also the rule of the Seda stronghold. If a stranger wanted to enter the stronghold, he had to be introduced by the people in the stronghold.

“He’s my friend. He’s not infected, and there’s no other problem!”

Daphne quickly walked up to the guard, took out an iron identity card, and said.

After seeing Daphne, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the two people outside the door, but they quickly suppressed it. The guy continued, “Since Miss Daphne is the guarantor, you can go in as long as you pay 2000 crystals! However, this is only a month’s fee! If you want to stay, remember to come to us again!”

“Yes, I know.” Daphne paid the fee for Stark without saying a word.

“2,000 crystals?” Stark frowned at the side. Ordinary people probably couldn’t accept such a price.

Daphne taking the initiative to pay for him indicated that she was afraid that he didn’t have enough crystals on him. It was awkward.

However, Daphne was still too young.

If she knew how many crystals he had, she would be so shocked that her jaw would fall off.

Soon.

After Stark got a new identity card, he and Daphne walked into the open city gate.

Once they entered the city gate, other than the tall concrete wall at the edge, a mixture of modern and ancient auras rushed towards them.

Tall buildings and wide asphalt roads were abnormally clean. However, both sides of the streets were filled with all sorts of goods.

Humans dressed in modern clothes were like ancient merchants, constantly shouting on both sides.

“Constitution +12 E-grade shirt, 500 crystals. This is the only one. If you want to buy it, hurry up!”

“D-grade skill, Chaotic Thunder Skill Book, 5,000 crystals. No bargaining! Don’t come and buy it if you’re poor!”

“Shield, shield, a must-have for tanks. The Monster Carnival is about to arrive. Hurry up and buy suitable equipment!”

Unlike the quiet scene outside, this place was unusually lively.

It was also at this moment that a voice filled with temptation rang in his ear.

“Little brother, you’re new here, right? We have specialized entertainment services here. There are catwomen, bunnies, and all sorts of goddess-level girls. There’s nothing that you can’t imagine, nothing that our spring fragrance pavilion doesn’t have!”

Stark’s gaze turned.

He saw a woman with large breasts and revealing clothes looking at him with an ambiguous expression.

Daphne, who was at the side, immediately revealed a disgusted look. She was about to say something.

However, Stark waved his hand and stopped her.

“Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Stark spoke directly with a faint meaning.

He was not interested in this kind of erotic place at all.

Furthermore, his gaze fell on the big-breasted woman.

With this kind of trash, how could she be half as good as Chris and Susanna?

Naturally, he would not care.

After rejecting the offer, Daphne did not know what Stark was thinking. In her head, recalling that Stark did not make any excessive demands on her, she combined it with this matter.

She immediately regarded Stark as a gentleman.

She could not help but think more highly of him.

At the same time, the anger caused by the big-breasted woman dissipated a lot.

As she walked, she said to Stark, “After the apocalyptic era began, with the collapse of the old order, all the original laws of the United States can no longer be used.

“Here, no one cares whether it’s selling guns, providing erotic services, or buying… female slaves.

“No one dares to care.”

When she said the last word, ‘female slave,’ Daphne couldn’t help but reveal an ugly expression.

However, she still continued to explain to Stark.

“So here, you don’t have to worry so much. Strength is everything.

“Don’t look at Seda stronghold like this. It actually costs 2,000 crystals to enter, but even so, it’s still one of the top ten strongholds in Manhattan!

“Although this place is chaotic, there are all kinds of powerful Transcendents guarding it. Every day, there will be all kinds of Transcendents patrolling.

“I guarantee that the people here will not be disturbed by the various Transcendent creatures outside.

“At the same time, there are all sorts of offline transactions that can be done here. If you’re lucky, you can exchange for a lot of good things. It’s just that for every transaction, you have to give the stronghold a 2% to 20% commission.

“So, there are many people who want to come here. And you saw it just now. If no one introduces you, you can’t enter at all.”

..

After listening to Daphne slowly explain these things, Stark also nodded in realization.

No wonder no one replied to him even after he posted on the forum.

So that was the reason.

After all, the stronghold was only so big. If the owner of the stronghold wanted to continue running it, he would need a lot of money.

No one was a fool. They wouldn’t build a stronghold for you to live in for no reason.

Therefore, the owner of the stronghold had to ensure that the quality of every transaction here would be improved.

Only then would he be able to extract more commission from it.

Stark quickly understood everything.

However, at the same time, he had thought of something else.

“As one of the top ten strongholds in the entire Manhattan city, are there really no restrictions at all?”

Stark turned his eyes and asked Daphne word by word.
