Chapter 479: Boarding fee

Proofreader: Arya

“I have some work to do for now, so please wait here for a bit until the ship arrives” the old man smiled.

“Please go ahead” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and said.

The old man nodded and quickly went away.

Gu Qing Shan looked towards the three other guests.

Of the three, the most eye-catching was the one floating in midair, a man wearing a black cloak that was letting out a blurred presence.

Although he was already trying his best to conceal his power radiation, space itself was still resonating with him.

As if the world would change at his order.

This was the power of a Demi.

Demis were born with a natural affinity to anything and everything.

In other words, this was a Divinity.

A descendant of Old Gods.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

He didn’t think that he’d randomly meet a Divinity here.

However, the Divinity in black was standing at the edge of the waiting room, carefully maintaining distance from the other two guests.

The Demi is… afraid?

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze turned to the other two guests.

They were a large rooster with a bright red comb on his head, and an automatic machine gun.

Yep, an automatic machine gun.

At least, he looked like an automatic machine gun.

“Ahahaha, did you know? The last time I got excited and performed a dance in our World Layer, I actually managed to summon three space monster”

The large rooster was excitedly recounting a story, its spit flying everywhere.

Gu Qing Shan just stood and listened.

Grove world’s language.

He suddenly had that thought.

Strange, why did I know that?

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

The Infinite Worlds Standard Dictionary was still letting out faint whispers.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan understood, the large rooster was speaking in another language.

If it was him from before, he wouldn’t have understood what the rooster was saying at all.

Seems like the blue book was doing its job.

Learning countless languages in 100 breaths.

What unimaginable potency.

Only the owner of the book, which was himself, could hear its whispers. The book was helping Gu Qing Shan with learning the languages of all known civilizations.

Gu Qing Shan held the book a bit tighter as he continued to learn more languages while listening to the small talk between the rooster and the automatic machine gun.

“I’m telling you, space octopuses are actually quite delicious, it’s a shame that there aren’t many chefs who could make that dish”

“Is that so? How unfortunate, I haven’t tasted any space monster before” the automatic machine gun was a bit sorrowful.

“Why not? Space monsters are easy to catch aren’t they?” the big rooster wondered.

“If I attack, everything would be destroyed, there’s no meat left to actually eat” the automatic machine gun sighed.

“Then what do you usually eat?”

“I buy food and cook for myself, or go to bars and restaurants, places like that for a quick drink and meal” the automatic machine gun answered.

“That’s good enough, some of those places have really good chefs”

As the big rooster said so, he glanced over at the Demi.

Then he lowered his voice: “Ah right, have you ever tried Divinity?”

The automatic machine gun spoke regretfully: “Divinities are the same, if I touch them they just turn to dust. I’m just not lucky enough to taste such things”

“Can’t you hold back a little?”

“I only used 1/10000th of my power, but they still turn to scraps”

“…Poor you” the big rooster said with an understanding tone.

As they spoke, their gazes both fell onto the Demi.

The Demi didn’t understand what they were saying, but instinctively took a bit more distance from them.

“Look at him, a country bumpkin who can’t even communicate properly, he doesn’t even understand what we’re saying” the big rooster scoffed.

The automatic machine gun suddenly said: “There’s also another brat here, but he was brought in by the Keeper himself”

The chicken and gun looked over to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and greeted them: “Hello you both”

The automatic machine gun and big rooster were both a bit surprised.

Because he just spoke in Grove world’s language.

This brat understands us?

They both thought the same thing.

“Hello” the rooster changed to another language and greeted him back.

The automatic machine gun also used another language.

With the same friendly tone as the rooster, he said something completely different: “What’s your name?”

Without understanding anything, these two sentences would both seem like greetings.

But they had completely different meanings.

Gu Qing Shan spoke to the big rooster: “Yes, hello”

“I’m Gu Qing Shan” he answered the automatic machine gun.

The big rooster whistled, impressed.

His pronunciation of both languages were very standard and fluent.

The big rooster then smiled: “We were just talking about food just now, Gu boy, what’s your take on this subject?”

“I usually cook my own food, and I brew my own liquor as well” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Hah, seems like you’re quite confident in that” the big rooster was intrigued.

He only looks about 20 years old.

Fluent in so many languages despite being so young; plus he was led in here by the Keeper himself, such a person wouldn’t have come from simple background.

At this time, a large ship slowly approached the lighthouse from the sky.

It docked directly adjacent to the lighthouse, hovering in mid air.

The Spire KeeperAssociation’s old man stood at the head of the ship.

“Would our guests please board the ship, we’re about to take off”

The big rooster lightly jumped and flew onto the ship’s deck.

The automatic machine gun also slowly hopped aboard the ship along its plank.

Gu Qing Shan just walked up the plank like normal.

After everyone else had come aboard, the black cloaked Demi finally began to board the ship .

This Demi appeared to be quite anxious.

“Forward”

The old man ordered.

The ship began to move, gradually moving away from the lighthouse as it took to the sky.

Gu Qing Shan stood hanging onto the railing of the ship, watching the ocean.

The ocean waves began to swell violently.

At some unknown point, the lighthouse had disappeared.

The black shadows that were standing around the lighthouse were also nowhere to be seen.

Boom!

The world began to collapse.

This scene was extremely familiar as Gu Qing Shan had just experienced it not too long ago.

He let out a sigh.

The four guests just stared at the collapsing world and said nothing.

A few moments later.

The ship went into the space vortex, thoroughly leaving that world behind.

The automatic machine gun and big rooster paid no mind to this at all.

They seemed to have gotten used to trips like these.

The automatic machine gun pulled the big rooster over to ask what octopus space monsters taste like.

The big rooster took some time to consider his words and started describing it.

The black cloaked Demi stared closely at the old man, seemingly waiting for something.

Sure enough, the old man turned around to look at the four guests.

“Gentlemen, we’ve now begun our journey, please prepare your boarding fees” he politely and amiably told them.

The big rooster took out a chest engraved with numerous gems from out of nowhere and pushed it over to him.

The old man took the chest and only gauged it a bit in his hand without checking the content before putting it away.

“Glad to do business with you” the old man said.

The automatic machine gun was currently trembling nonstop.

“Hah!”

It let out a cry.

Clank, clank!

A gleaming metal bullet dropped onto the deck.

“Is that enough?” the automatic machine gun spoke with heavy breaths.

The old man waved his hand to levitate the bullet over as he carefully examined it.

After a while, the old man looked up and respectfully spoke: “It is a top-grade product, you paid more than enough for our boarding fee, please wait a bit as I get your change”

The automatic machine gun spoke altruistically: “No need, just prepare a barrel of Spire liquor for me in my room, you can keep the rest as a tip”

“Very well, thank you for your generosity” the old man smiled.

Following that, the Demi also took out a luxurious-looking small bag and handed it over.

The old man took the bag and lightly shook it.

Some metallic chimes came from the bag.

The old man scowled: “This isn’t enough”

The black cloaked Demi gasped.

He stopped for a bit, seemingly hesitant on what to do.

The old man’s expression turned irritated.

“Please wait a second”

Saying so, the black cloaked Demi searched all over himself until he finally took out a small, intricately designed bag.

He sighed and very unwillingly handed the bag over.

The old man received the bag and estimated it as well.

His scowl loosened and spoke: “Just enough, thank you for your business”

Hearing that, the black cloaked Demi breathed out like he had just been forgiven.

Next was Gu Qing Shan’s turn.
