Although they looked just like ordinary people, one could sense the aura of a Level 7 Ghost General emanating from them.
Having two Level 7 Ghost Generals as mere doorkeepers was truly incredible.
When Mu Rufeng appeared at the doorway, the two security guards immediately targeted him.
However, upon seeing the Gold Coin in Mu Rufeng's hand, their hostility and targeting vanished instantly.
Yet, their gazes landed on Mu Rufeng, both exhibiting a hint of surprise.
While Mu Rufeng contemplated, he saw a woman in a red cheongsam approaching leisurely.
"Good day, guest. It's your first time in Golden City, isn't it?" Zhao Tian spoke in a gentle, delicate voice.
"Who are you?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"Sir, I am Zhao Tian. I can explain the operational guidelines of Golden City for you. Of course, you will need to provide a certain remuneration," Zhao Tian stated.
"Remuneration? Soul banknotes?"
"No, we do not accept soul banknotes here. However, since it's your first visit, you can still pay with soul banknotes—ten thousand per day," Zhao Tian responded.
"You don't take soul banknotes? What do you accept here then?" Mu Rufeng curiously asked.
"This is Golden City, and everything here can be traded, including your innate talent and abilities. Everything will be directly converted into Soul Power, and hiring me will only cost ten points of Soul Power per day."
"Soul Power? Everything can be traded?" Mu Rufeng's gaze slightly tightened.
This place seemed rather peculiar.
Mu Rufeng promptly took out ten thousand soul banknotes and handed them to Zhao Tian, saying, "Let's start with hiring you for one day."
Zhao Tian took the ten thousand soul banknotes and nodded slightly.
After Mu Rufeng had paid, he walked into the main hall.
As Mu Rufeng stepped on the stairs, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Entering instance: Golden City]
[Instance type: Solo instance]
[Identity type: Guest]
[Completion mission: Please win three times within Golden City to complete the mission. You can choose to submit upon completion to return. If you do not submit, winning an additional time will add a hundred percent to your completion rate.]
"Solo instance, win three times? Indeed, this is a super entertainment city focused on gambling," Mu Rufeng murmured to himself.
"Sir, I don't know your surname yet," Zhao Tian suddenly reacted and quickly stepped forward to inquire again.
"Mu, as in 'three drops of water + wood,'" Mu Rufeng said slowly.
"Mr. Mu, let me explain about Golden City. It…"
Immediately, Zhao Tian began explaining to Mu Rufeng.
Golden City, which sounds like a city, is in fact an extremely luxurious casino. Due to its large size, it could also be considered a city,
situated in a place no one can find.
Only those with Gold Coins or certain special channels can enter; outsiders completely cannot.
The first to third floors are the main areas of Golden City where one can gamble everything.
Above the third floor is an extremely luxurious entertainment zone.
Starting from the fourth floor up to the tenth floor are hotel rooms, meant for resting.
From the third floor upwards, everything must be paid for using Soul Power; soul banknotes are not accepted.
Why? Because the owner of Golden City does not lack soul banknotes.
When you first enter Golden City, you get one chance to convert your soul banknotes into Soul Power.
Also, if you engage in trading, it signifies that you accept the rules of Golden City.
Once the conversion is completed, your abilities, talents, and skills, etc., will all materialize, and you can trade them with others.
And this trade is not a peaceful buy-and-sell but is accomplished through gambling.
"Mr. Mu, only on your first visit can soul banknotes be converted into Soul Power. If you come again, it cannot be converted."
"Moreover, you cannot conduct private transactions with other guests, so I advise you to convert all your soul banknotes into Soul Power."
"When you leave Golden City, you can also revert them back to soul banknotes at the previous rate," Zhao Tian reminded.
"What exactly is the use of Soul Power?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"The effects of Soul Power can enhance physical strength and Soul Power; it is an incredibly powerful force."
"Moreover, Soul Power is truly the most special aspect of Golden City, and only Golden City possesses it."
"Even some Level 9 Ghost Emperors, whether from the West or the East, are regular clients of our Golden City," Zhao Tian remarked.
"Do you have Soul Power? Show me," Mu Rufeng said.
"That... Soul Power cannot be shown to others; it is stored within our souls," Zhao Tian explained.
"Stored in the soul? Alright, then take me to exchange," Mu Rufeng said.
Zhao Tian immediately led Mu Rufeng to a conversion point on the left side.
"Newcomer, convert to Soul Power," Zhao Tian approached the window, knocked, and spoke.
"Contractor? That's rare, no, in fact, never seen before. How much do you want to convert? Just swipe it up there, enter your password, and that's it."
The person inside the window took out a card machine after looking at Mu Rufeng with a slight surprise and spoke.
Mu Rufeng did not speak but looked at the conversion rules posted on the glass.
