Becoming God of a Dystopian World

As Feng Mei's subordinate whispered something in her ear, she looked shocked as she opened her eyes abruptly.

"What happened?"

Zhao Luo asked as something didn't sit right with him.

Feng Mei was looking at Zhao Luo like she wanted to tell him everything.

"Everything's okay. It was nice meeting you all. Especially you big brother."

Feng Mei said while looking at everyone then solely focused on Zhao Luo as she continued.

"I will be going now. Let's meet at the teleportation circle tomorrow before the departure time."

Feng Mei said while smiling with her head bowing downward.

Everyone agreed and bid their farewells with Feng Mei after which she went out with her subordinates.

'She looks lonely.'

Zhao Luo thought even though there were two subordinates with her. He didn't know why but he was feeling this heaviness in his heart as if a bone was stuck in his throat.

It was a feeling called worry that Zhao Luo was experiencing for the second time in his life. But this time it wasn't towards his private part instead it was for a person. A little girl who had connected with him so fast that he already considered her as his sister.

"So what should we do now?"

Zhao Luo asked brother sang as it wouldn't be any use to worry about something he didn't even know about.

"We should go buy some things first."

Brother Sang looked at Zhao Luo as of scanning him with his eyes.

"Everything on you is a no-no."

Brother Sang commented on Zhao Luo's appearance. Even though he was so good-looking and tall but he was missing many things.

Brother Sang looked at Zhao Luo starting from his head.

'His hair is okay but this robe of his. It looks so worn out and those shoes. I haven't seen such a weird design before.'

Brother Sang inspected Zhao Luo as if he was Zhao Luo's mom. Zhao Luo was still wearing the same robe that Si Chen had given him. He had fought with Bambi in these robes so they were worn out already and the shoes were the same ones that he was wearing before.

"What?"

Zhao Luo asked as it was getting annoying to be stared at by someone for so long.

"You are missing the storage ring. Some new robes and power shoes. Let's go shopping."

Brother Sang told Zhao Luo. 

"Do you guys wanna come with us?"

Zhao Luo asked the others.

"Yes, I will be tagging along."

Yan was the first to reply. He wanted to go shopping too. Also, it would let him be with Zhao Luo for a long time so it was a beneficial offer for him.

Zhao Luo nodded while smiling lightly. Then he looked at Si Chan, Rose, and Su Shi who were standing with them.

"I have to go back. Sorry."

Su Shi said as she had to go back to the 3rd City and tell her father and mother that she had passed. It will be big news for the Su family.

"I have to go back to sect so let's meet at the sect tomorrow."

Rose said as she looked at Zhao Luo.

'So she won't be coming. Sigh.'

Zhao Lup thought as it would have been a fin time if Rose had also joined.

Si Chen still hadn't answered so Zhao Luo looked at him and saw that he was being hesitant.

"It's okay if you can't. You don't have to force yourself."

Zhao Luo told him.

"I want to come with you but I have to go back to the Sect."

Si Chen said while looking at Zhao Luo but he kept on peeking at Yan.

"Heh, okay."

Zhao Luo knew why Si Chen was so uncertain. It was because he was still in shock regarding Yan being a man.

'Understandable.'

Zhao Luo thought over Si Chen's action.

Thus Si Chen, Rose, and Su Shi left the Sect building as they headed towards the building with the teleportation circle in it.

Zhao Luo with Brother Sang and Yan also tagged along with them.

The infrastructure of all the cities was somewhat similar.

The buildings with the teleportation circle were in the middle of each city. Then if you moved towards the central mountain where the Sect was, from the TPC building the Inner Area of the City would start.

But if you move in the opposite direction that will be the Outer Area.

Inner Area was where families would be living. This area had buildings, hotels, and restaurants.

While the outer City was like a business area. There were different kinds of markets here. 

For the 1st City, most of the inner city was covered by the three Royal Families. 

Feng, Mo, and the Qin family. Each of the Royal family had lots of members and there were also branch families of such thus they owned most of the land in the inner area of the first city.

There was also the Sect building in the inner area of the first city.

As Zhao Luo's destination was the outer area thus his 'shopping group' tagged with the 'going back' group. 

The journey towards the TPC building was mostly quiet. They just walked towards the building without saying a word to each other. 

Zhao Luo and Brother Sang were talking to each other. They were walking right behind the group.

Zhao Luo was telling him about his past. 

He was telling him about how he met Brother Sang's great grandfather Takuma and how Takuma trapped him in the capsule for his research. But he also told him how he doesn't blame Takuma at all now. Instead, he regrets not thanking him and agreeing to participate in his research with his own free will.

While they were walking, the building was in sight. Zhao Luo looked at his friends as he had grown close to every one of them even if it was by a little.

Outside of the TPC building.

"Take care guys. We will be meeting tomorrow for sure."

Zhao Luo said while looking at Si Chen and Rose. Su Shi was looking at him and felt weird as he didn't say anything to her.

"You too."

Zhao Luo said to Su Shi.

"I don't need you to worry about me. Hmph."

After hearing what she wanted Su Shi felt happy but she couldn't show it.

"Take care."

Rose said in a light tone but her voice sounded so mesmerizing that Zhao Luo started staring at her.

"Thank you."

Zhao Luo replied to her with an honest smile on his face.

"I was saying that to Brother Sang and Yan."

Rose clarified and went inside the building leaving Zhao Luo with a blank face.

"Hahaha guess there is someone you can't win against."

Brother Sang teased Zhao Luo.

"I will be going now. See you at the Sect."

Si Chen said as he turned around and went inside the building with Su Shi.

"Let's get you the things."

Brother Sang told Zhao Luo as he walked in front and lead them towards the market in the outer area. 

They walked for a little while before reaching the marketplace.

Zhao Luo could see a big rock in front of him.

"Shi Chang market."

Zhao Luo read the words which were carved in that rock.

"This is the biggest market of the Xin Range."

Brother Sang told Zhao Luo.

"If you can't find something in the other eight cities, you will find it here."

Brother Sang continued as they passed the big rock to enter the market area.

"Wow, there are so many shops here."

Zhao Luo exclaimed as he looked around. No matter where his sight went, there would be a shop there.

"Let's go there. He is famous for the quality robes he sells."

Brother Sang pointed at a shop.

The outer appearance of the shop was simply a dark-coated glass with a glass door as the entrance. It was what you would call an enemy of the window shopping community.

'So I can't see inside. Suspicious.'

Zhao Luo couldn't believe Brother Sang's words.

"How could he be famous for his robes if he doesn't showcase them?" Zhao Luo asked Brother Sang. 

A seller would show others his valuable items even if the other party isn't there to buy them. This will help in gaining reputation and popularity but this guy had a special glass so that others aren't able to check his items from the outside.

"Well brother, 'this' is his selling plan."

Brother Sang tried to explain it to Zhao Luo as he waved both of his hands pointing towards the door telling Zhao Luo to enter the shop.

Zhao Luo placed his hand on the door to push it open but instead of opening his hand got sucked in, gradually his whole body was sucked in the door. 

'Wooop.'

"What?"

Yan was shocked after witnessing the scene of Zhao Lup being sucked in by the door of the shop.

"Pat."

Yan's back felt hot as Brother Sang slapped his back lightly but with power behind it, forcing him towards the door.

''Wooop.'

Yan was swallowed by the door too.

Brother Sang followed behind him.

Zhao Luo appeared on the other side that is inside the shop.

"The Robester."

Zhao Luo read the name that was written on the board that he saw as soon as he appeared there.

"Hahaha."

Zhao Luo couldn't control his laughter as he let it go after reading the name of the shop. This was the first shop he was visiting in the last 100 years and it had such a weird name.
