Chapter 652 The Playwright at the City Gate
The surroundings were peaceful, a stark contrast to the danger outside.
While danger lurked everywhere outside, this place seemed peaceful and serene. For a moment, Roland even thought he had entered another world.
"Wait a minute, didn't we just cross a storm? How did we suddenly end up in a place like this?"
Roland asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You must know that the storms here have spatial properties and can randomly throw people to other places, right?"
After hearing this, Roland was speechless.
So it turns out it was her fault all along?
"Read more books, I told you that a long time ago."
Jiang Shuzhou said.
Actually, this is all nonsense from Jiang Shuzhou. After all, whether the storm has spatial attributes is not up to him to decide. Since he says it does, then it does.
"Let's go, the city is just ahead."
Jiang Shuzhou said.
Along the way, the common people who were farming around them looked at Jiang Shuzhou and his group with very strange eyes.
They are subservient to the city, and their only job is to grow food to supply the city in exchange for the right to survive.
Although they live a long time, there's not much room for advancement.
Furthermore, this isn't something just anyone can do; it's a family tradition passed down through generations, so ordinary people shouldn't even dream of it.
"Grandpa, are these people from the outside world?"
Watching the car speed away, a little boy asked with great curiosity.
"Yes, those are outsiders. Just try to avoid contact with them in the future, or there will be problems."
The old man held the little boy's hand, his face serious. In his eyes, the people outside were all ruthless madmen who would kill an entire family for a little food; it was simply incomprehensible.
Getting involved with these people will definitely lead to a bad end.
Jiang Shuzhou was naturally aware of this, but he didn't care.
Jiang Shuzhou remained silent, only pressing the accelerator harder.
Nothing else, just for fun.
The speed was so fast that even Roland, who was standing to the side, could hardly keep up.
"How come it's so fast?"
Young people really lack experience; this is nothing.
And so, very soon, the villages surrounding the city finally witnessed what it meant to be as fast as lightning.

"Halt! Show me your entry pass!"
Several soldiers stood beneath the towering black city walls and addressed the crowd waiting for inspection.
"Please have mercy, I..."
An old woman was about to say something when she was rudely interrupted by a guard.
"Alright, alright, I know you don't have a pass to enter the city. You can leave now. Don't come back, and don't try to act like a rogue, or I can't guarantee you'll leave unscathed."
The woman froze, forgetting all her prepared words. Clearly, she had no chance of sneaking in.
Seeing this, she could only slink away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is really..."
"You want to enter the city without any credentials? How come you get all the good things?"
People around were talking amongst themselves, clearly quite dissatisfied with the old man's condition.
After all, the safer the city, the more advantageous it is for them.
Otherwise, if you can just pretend to be pitiful and say a few nice words to get into the city, then what kind of safety is there in the city?
The screening proceeded quickly; in just a short while, it was Jiang Shuzhou and Luo Lan's turn to be examined.
"These are our tickets."
Jiang Shuzhou directly showed the inspectors a black and gold coin.
This was his reward for helping to guard the Lin Kui Shelter, which was also his ticket to enter the city.
This document serves as both an exemption certificate and a temporary residence permit. With this permit, aside from the initial trip to the checkpoint to activate it upon arrival, you can then directly enter through a special channel.
Limited to use by those with extraordinary abilities.
After all, the strong always have privileges wherever they go.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
When the soldier first saw Jiang Shuzhou, he was somewhat arrogant and looked rather overbearing. However, when he saw the ticket that Jiang Shuzhou took out, his expression changed instantly.
That arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced by a kind and gentle expression.
It has to be said, their ability to change their expression is truly remarkable.
The soldier then went straight back to his camp, seemingly unable to make the decision himself, and went to find someone who could.
Soon, a man who looked like an officer came out of the tent and headed straight for Jiang Shuzhou and the others.
"What's your name?"
The man looked at Jiang Shuzhou and said.
"Shaman".
"Roland".
After simply stating his name, Jiang Shuzhou looked at the man in front of him with great interest.
"My name is Stella, and I'm in charge here. What brings you two to the city?"
This was a routine questioning, and as long as Jiang Shuzhou's answers were reasonable, there wouldn't be any problems.
"This is a city, and I hope to obtain some resources here to cultivate and become stronger."
This is Roland's answer; it's standard and conventional.
"I'm just here to have some fun. After all, it's a city, there must be something interesting to do."
Upon hearing this, Stella's expression instantly stiffened.
However, in just a moment, his complexion returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
"That city is indeed a good place for you all, as long as you can stay peacefully."
The man emphasized the word "peaceful life" as if he were stressing something.
"Of course, after all, I don't want to miss out on the drama."
Jiang Shuzhou said.
Upon hearing this, Stella's face twitched.
Originally, Roland thought they might lose this round, but Jiang Shuzhou's words were sarcastic and even insulting.
Can this pass? If it does, I'll pass right now...
"Have fun!"
Unexpectedly, Stella did not make things difficult for Jiang Shuzhou. Instead, she calmly nodded and then put Jiang Shuzhou inside without saying anything.
What is the principle behind this?
Could it be that this guy doesn't care about these things at all?
Roland was completely baffled.
Jiang Shuzhou knew a thing or two about this.
As the creator of this world, Jiang Shuzhou can know anything he wants.
For example, Stella's true identity is that of a "playwright".
Stella only showed herself to Jiang Shuzhou briefly before Jiang Shuzhou opened her box.
The probing just now was, in essence, Jiang Shuzhou telling Stella that he didn't care what Stella wanted to do, and that she shouldn't bother him; he could simply be a spectator.
What if it causes an impact?
Jiang Shuzhou was about to send Luo Lan to cause trouble.
Fortunately, there was nothing there, and Stella's life was saved.
Otherwise, offending Jiang Shuzhou would have serious consequences.
It has to be said that Stella was incredibly lucky to have met Jiang Shuzhou.
