The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1659 - 1664: Strolling Into the Old Street

Lin Fei heard this and nodded, understanding that Zhang Fan’s words must be true, especially since Lin Fei saw that massive black hole in the sky, which was a power beyond this world!

"Seems like I should find an opportunity to visit the Upper Realm." Lin Fei said.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Zhang Fan suddenly looked at Lin Fei with a strange gaze and, in disbelief, asked, "What did you just say? You want to visit the Upper Realm?"

Lin Fei nodded, "That’s right, why?"

"Nothing, if you feel you’ve enjoyed enough freedom in the Lower Realm, you can go to the Upper Realm to live the life of a servant." Zhang Fan said with a laugh.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Fei didn’t understand why Zhang Fan said this.

Zhang Fan smiled and explained, "I know your power is very strong, but you also saw my power. What I just demonstrated was indeed my power, but not all of it. If I were in the Upper Realm, I could be even stronger, and for you, retaining even one-tenth of your current strength would be quite fortunate."

Hearing this, Lin Fei was shocked, looking incredulous, "One-tenth? Are you joking with me?"

"Of course not." Zhang Fan replied, and he didn’t seem to be deceiving Lin Fei.

"How could it be that only one-tenth remains?" Lin Fei couldn’t believe it was true. If this were the case, the Upper Realm could indeed be said to be Hell for people of the Lower Realm.

"It’s absolutely possible. You have to know that the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm are two different worlds, and the Lower Realm suppresses people from the Upper Realm because they’re too powerful, right?" Zhang Fan retorted to Lin Fei, but he was speaking the truth.

Lin Fei nodded, "Indeed, this world can’t withstand the ravages of people from the Upper Realm."

"Exactly! That’s the reason why. People from the Upper Realm are too powerful, so their strength is restricted and suppressed to a level that this world can tolerate. But don’t forget, people in the Upper Realm aren’t that powerful there; it only shows that the Lower Realm is too weak!" Zhang Fan explained.

Listening to Zhang Fan’s explanation, Lin Fei suddenly understood. People in the Upper Realm aren’t too powerful. If people from the Lower Realm went to the Upper Realm, they would have to use the standards of the Upper Realm to understand power, and compared to the Upper Realm, the Lower Realm is indeed very weak!

"You understand now, right? Actually, you people from the Lower Realm are very weak, and the most important point is, when you lower realm folks go to the Upper Realm, you will also be suppressed by the Upper Realm, although it’s not necessarily suppression. It’s just that when you lower realm folks go to the Upper Realm, not being familiar with the environment leads to a suppression of your strength." Zhang Fan said.

Lin Fei thought for a moment and nodded, understanding the logic. It’s like people from two different worlds with different strength, and the living environment plays a significant role, including gravity.

To take a simple example, the problem of gravity: if the gravity in the Upper Realm is strong, but weaker in the Lower Realm, then even if people from the Lower Realm are strong, once they go to the Upper Realm, they won’t adapt due to gravity and other reasons, and they won’t be able to exert their original strength. That’s what Zhang Fan meant.

"So, you don’t think it’s a good idea for me to go to the Upper Realm? Is it that there aren’t any really powerful people from the Lower Realm who went to the Upper Realm?" Lin Fei asked curiously about this question.

"There are, of course, but even the most powerful aren’t incredibly strong. Perhaps it’s just I don’t know about them." Zhang Fan felt he hadn’t encountered any truly powerful characters.

Lin Fei sighed, unsure of what’s going on. He just couldn’t believe what Zhang Fan said about the situation. He didn’t believe there weren’t any people from the Lower Realm among the great figures of the Upper Realm.

Lin Fei was unfamiliar with the Upper Realm’s situation, but he thought the Upper Realm was vast, and there were quite a few people from the Lower Realm who went there. How could there be no powerful figures?

"Let’s go! I’ll take you to see the city, but be careful not to mess around too much." Lin Fei reminded Zhang Fan, otherwise, he’d definitely get into trouble, and he’d be the one to suffer. Thinking of a few old men nagging him endlessly, Lin Fei felt his head growing big.

Lin Fei took Zhang Fan to an old street in the Lower Realm.

Due to the changes in time, old streets were completely transformed, but there were always one or two old streets that maintained their appearance from over twenty years ago. Of course, the lifestyle of the people there had changed; people who originally cooked using stoves had switched to using gas, and the advertisement boards were no longer crude products but unified projection technology.

Looking at it this way, there was a sense of mixing, since an old street that looked rather outdated and couldn’t keep up with the times suddenly had high-tech products, and there were even robots inside to attend to guests, making it very convenient.

Lin Fei took Zhang Fan to a noodle shop, directly ordering two bowls of ramen, then called for two plates of side dishes and a bottle of white wine, such a simple meal made Zhang Fan feel incredibly strange.

"What’s in this water?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

Lin Fei chuckled, "Wine, we drink it here. Let me open it for you, taste it, and compare it to the wine you have over there."

Taking a cup, Lin Fei poured the wine into the cup and handed it to Zhang Fan, who took the wine glass, drank a sip, smacked his lips, and felt nothing.

"This wine is watered, isn’t it? There’s no flavor at all. Our wine in the Upper Realm is much more flavorful than this. This won’t do."

Lin Fei was speechless, hearing Zhang Fan’s words, Lin Fei realized that the Upper Realm’s wine must be very strong! But since the other couldn’t appreciate the Lower Realm’s white wine, Lin Fei ordered a bottle of beer, not believing Zhang Fan would ignore it.

Zhang Fan drank a glass of white wine and immediately placed it on the table, "Are you sure this isn’t horse urine?"

Lin Fei was ashamed, "This is beer, made by foreigners."

"Horrible taste, I won’t drink it anymore. It’s surprising this thing could be produced, and not as good as white wine. I’ll drink white wine." Zhang Fan said and took the white wine in front of Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was speechless, but he had no choice but to drink the beer himself; otherwise, it would be wasted.

Soon, the owner brought up two bowls of noodles, and Lin Fei handed Zhang Fan a pair of chopsticks, "Do you know how to use them?"

"Of course! How could I not? We all use this in the Upper Realm." Saying this, Zhang Fan directly used the chopsticks to pick up the noodles and started eating.

"Really delicious! You didn’t lie to me!" Zhang Fan said immediately after taking a bite and drinking a sip of soup.

Lin Fei chuckled, "You haven’t tasted anything even better, if you did, I fear you wouldn’t want to leave the Lower Realm."

And indeed, Zhang Fan was starting to have such a thought!
