“More than 100 million Star Coins? Isn’t that too expensive?”

“Expensive? This is already the cheapest one. I heard that the foreign races spent at least one billion crystal coins to build such an airship. Even though the crystal coins are not as expensive as Star Coins, it still cost 700 to 800 million Star Coins. But we only need 100 million to build it ourselves. How much cheaper do you think it is?”

“Good lord! This thing is really expensive!”

“What’s there to be afraid of? The Kingdom of Dawn is rich and the people are strong. There are 20 to 30 modified airships. However, the real airships are still under construction. I’ve heard that each airship costs more than one billion Star Coins and is ten times more powerful than this. Each airship is so huge that it can garrison tens of thousands of soldiers.”

“Really? That’s great! Haha! We won’t let those foreign races look down on us. With the airship, we’ll definitely make them frightened out of their wits.”

As they spoke, they walked out of the square.

Ten minutes later, they left the square.

Only then did they realize that that was only one of the twelve teleportation squares in the City of Dawn.

There was one each in the east, south, west, and north. There was also one in the northeast, one in the southeast, one in the southwest, and one in the northwest. The inner ring surrounding the palace complex of the Lord of Dawn had four larger teleportation plazas with Cross-Border teleportation arrays.

However, those plazas were usually only open to the military and were not open to common people unless it was a special situation.

One of Zheng Jing’s subordinates shouted with excitement in his eyes, “Young master, why don’t we just move to the City of Dawn and settle down here? This place is too prosperous and stable!”

When the others heard this, their faces were filled with yearning.

Only Zheng Jing remained unmoved after hearing this.

Prosperous? What kind of place was this? This was the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn, which had an area of 40 million square kilometers. It was the center of the entire country.

It was not easy to live in the capital!

This was definitely a place where every inch of land was worth a fortune. If one wanted to establish a foothold here, it would be difficult to do anything without a million Star Coins.

As expected, they didn’t walk far before they realized how expensive it was to live in the City of Dawn.

They wanted to go to the market to sell the treasures in their hands, but it would probably be dark if they walked there. Moreover, they didn’t know the way, so they found a carriage.

The starting price was three Star Coins, one Star Coin per kilometer. If they went to the market, it would basically cost ten Star Coins.

“It’s too expensive. Why don’t we run there? With our physique and speed, it shouldn’t take too much time!”

Zheng Jing was also a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking about whether he should save some money, the coachman laughed and said, “It’s obvious that you are all from other places. You don’t understand the City of Dawn’s management regulations at all. Transcendental power is strictly prohibited in the city. It is also forbidden to use transcendental power unless it is a special situation. Otherwise, it will be a fine or a deduction of citizen points. If all the points are deducted, then you will be expelled from the Kingdom of Dawn!”

“What? Is there such a rule?”

The coachman smiled and nodded, “Other cities might not have such a rule, but the City of Dawn definitely has it. You all have the Dawn Identity Cards. You can check it on the Star Web. Moreover, think about it. The City of Dawn is the capital. Countless people are gathered here. If everyone uses their transcendental power, how chaotic would it be? Therefore, if anyone dares to use their transcendental power in the city, they will be given a warning on the first time, fined on the second time, and points will be deducted on the third time!”

Zheng Jing and the others immediately went numb when they heard that.

“Then let’s take a carriage!”

Zheng Jing was not afraid of warnings, nor was he afraid of fines. He was only afraid of points being deducted.

If he had never been to the Kingdom of Dawn nor the City of Dawn, perhaps he could endure the cruel living environment in the outside world.

However, after coming here, it would be impossible for him to leave even if he was beaten to death.

Hearing that, the rest of his subordinates immediately turned quiet. They no longer dared to say anything about relying on their own physical strength to run over. They obediently followed Zheng Jing into the carriage.

However, not long after the carriage started to move, they saw a bus coming from not far away.

This bus was not a car that use oil. Instead, it was a magic-powered bus that used crystal coins or crystals as its energy source. However, its appearance was almost no different from the buses that they had seen on earth in their previous lives. There were even pictures of advertisements on the body of the bus.

“Is this a bus? Sir, aren’t you mean? Why didn’t you tell us that there was a bus?”

The coachman chuckled and said, “My carriage can go straight to the destination. That bus is going to take a long detour. It’s very slow. I saw that you guys were quite anxious!”

Zheng Jing was speechless, but he did not care too much. He asked, “Is carriage still allowed in this city?”

The coachman sighed softly and said, “It’s about to be banned. I heard that there are people researching magic cars and even magic sports cars. Many companies are developing them and are about to sell them. At that time, our carriages will no longer be able to go on the road. So you should be happy to sit in my carriage. In the future, you won’t be able to find such an opportunity. You’ll have the material to brag about to your children. Tell them that you’ve sat in a carriage in the City of Dawn. This will be impossible in the future!”

“Brother, you have an eye to be able to think of this. Then, have you thought of taking a picture of the passengers in the carriage as a souvenir or something?”

The coachman heard this and became crafty. He slapped his thigh and said, “I can easily tell that you are from a big world and knows a lot of things. I happen to have magic equipment here that can take photos. Do you want to try it? One photo costs ten Star Coins and you can get it immediately!”

“F*ck!” Zheng Jing could not hold back this curse. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay.”

Even if the price was obviously a rip-off, they were unfamiliar with the place and did not have a mobile phone camera in their hands.

However, taking a photo here was definitely a very meaningful thing.

The few youths behind him did not understand what the two of them were talking about. However, they were dumbfounded when they saw the young master being unwilling meanwhile having no choice but to pay.

At this moment, Zheng Jing saw a huge building in the distance, and his eyes revealed shock.

The reason why this building surprised him was not because of its large area, but because it was actually emitting light at all times.

The light was not strong or dazzling, but no one could ignore it.

“Where is this place? Could it be the palace where the Lord of Dawn lives?”

The Coachman rolled his eyes at Zheng Jing and said, “Other than this, what else could it be? This is the place where the god lives. Isn’t it normal for it to shine?”

Zheng Jing was stuck for words. He felt that what the coachman said made sense. He actually didn’t have any room to refute.

After turning two corners, they arrived at the entrance of a street.

“Here we are. Ten Star Coins!”
