Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 702 Star Ocean City

The old man injected energy into the array formation, and it started operating.

Gradually, a crack appeared in mid-air, and the air around it began to surge. The crack created a powerful suction force, forming a tornado in their surroundings.

Looking at the huge spatial crack slowly opening in the sky, Lu Yu could not help but ask, "This portal seems big. It's not just for transporting people, right?"

"Of course. We trade with the Freedom Federation often. Won't it be troublesome to transport goods if all we do is open a small teleportation portal?"

Soon, the portal was fully opened.

Lu Yu and the others stood before the portal while Gu Qing waved his hand at them.

"You guys can go now. I'll come and welcome you when you return."

Lu Yu nodded, then turned back and walked toward the portal.

"Lu Yu, do you think that the reason why we can't contact Wang Meng and Qin Yang is because of the fight between the two chambers of commerce?"

Xu Yuan asked as he walked beside Lu Yu.

"Probably. When we find Qin Yang, we'll ask him, and everything will be clear."

Lu Yu took the lead and walked into the portal.

Then, Xu Yuan and the other two walked in one after another.

The sky had already darkened by the time they passed through the portal.

After exiting the other side of the portal, Lu Yu felt a gust of cold wind blow.

He looked around and found that he had arrived in the city he needed to be in. The sky was dark, but the bright city lights illuminated the surroundings well.

He found himself on a high-rise building in the center of Star Ocean City. The lights around him were radiant, and the city was covered in neon lights.

The surrounding buildings towered into the clouds, competing to outshine each other, dazzling everyone's eyes.

Lu Yu looked into the distance and saw a faint outline of the coastline.

The city's lights reflected off the sea, giving a sense of being in a magical world.

Xu Yuan and the others also walked over from behind Lu Yu. Looking at the bustling night view of the city, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"This place looks prosperous. It's even more bustling than Ixdale!"

"It's late. Let's find a place to sleep."

Lu Yu said as he walked toward the rooftop elevator.

The roof of this building was spacious, about the size of a basketball court. Furthermore, it was paved with tarmac where transport helicopters could park, transporting goods to and from the Freedom Federation.

Lu Yu's group of four entered the elevator. After pressing the button for the first floor, they began to descend quickly.

After reaching the first floor, Lu Yu and the others came to the streets outside. The streets were illuminated with colorful neon lights.

The crowd under the neon lights continued to move, shuttling back and forth, forming a gorgeous and colorful scene.

Shops stood in great numbers, with flashing signboards and neon lights constantly attracting people's attention.

Lu Yu and the others blended into the crowd and headed toward a nearby hotel.

Xu Yuan looked down at his phone and located a decent hotel.

"Let's go to this one. New Sea Hotel. It has a lot of good reviews."

Xu Yuan suggested as he took out his phone to show Lu Yu.

Lu Yu waved his hand. "Let's go."

They walked through a few streets and soon arrived at the hotel's entrance. The bright and shining signboard stood out, so they found it quickly.

Lu Yu took the lead and walked into the hotel's lobby. He came to the front desk and began to check in.

"I'll get four rooms. Is there one that's interconnected?"

The receptionist lowered her head to check and replied, "There are four rooms connected on the third floor. I can book them for you now."

"Alright, I'll have to trouble you then."

After saying that, Lu Yu took out his bank card. The Freedom Federation's bank card could be used here with no problem.

The lady at the front desk took the bank card, swiped it, and returned it to Lu Yu.

"I want to ask you a question. I'm new here." Lu Yu took the room card and asked, "I heard that the one running Star Ocean City is the Fierce Dragon Gang?"

The lady at the front desk didn't try to avoid the question and replied directly, "That's right. The Fierce Dragon Gang has controlled many businesses in Star Ocean City, with almost half of the companies here related to them one way or another. They're the strongest force in here, in Star Ocean City."

"I heard that their gang leader is supported by one of the chambers of commerce. Not only that, but he also had a marriage alliance with the Xu family. Because of these factors, he's running Star Ocean City."

Lu Yu frowned slightly. "What's the situation with this Xu family?"

"They're a large group of businesses in many fields. They possessed high status in Star Ocean City. So, with them in the open and the Fierce Dragon Gang in the dark, they've taken over the Star Ocean City."

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "No wonder. There's no way others could be a match for such an excellent team."

Lu Yu turned to Xu Yuan and asked, "Do you think we can beat them?"

These words made not only Xu Yuan panic but also the receptionist.

"Mister, you shouldn't say this here."

Lu Yu glanced at the frightened receptionist and shrugged his shoulders.

"With them controlling everything in this city, we can't avoid them even if we wanted to." Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly. This place was the Fierce Dragon Gang's headquarters, and they had nowhere to hide.

"You... did you all offend the Fierce Dragon Gang?" The lady looked at Lu Yu's group of four dumbfoundedly.

"Not really, but I did have some skirmishes with them." Lu Yu answered nonchalantly.

"Are you afraid? Can we still stay in these four rooms?"

Xu Yuan walked over and asked the lady.

The front desk lady quickly nodded. "Yes, you can stay in them."

Lu Yu stretched lazily, then walked toward the elevator.

"Let's go and rest."

Lu Yu's group of four entered the elevator and quickly arrived on the third floor.

After checking out everyone's room, they did not go to bed. Instead, they gathered in Lu Yu's room.

"First, we can't contact Wang Meng and Qin Yang. We don't know much about the situation here, so our main goal is to find them."

"These two bastards. How dare they keep hiding from me? Once I find them, I definitely won't spare them!" Lu Yu muttered unhappily.

"We'll go to Central City tomorrow morning. This bloody city is prosperous, but it's not great to keep staying in a hooligan's headquarters."

"Lu Yu, why don't you give them another call? Maybe we can contact them since we're in their area." Yun Zirou suggested.

"I'll call them."

Lu Yu took out his phone and dialed Wang Meng's number.

After waiting for a while, no one picked up.

Lu Yu frowned slightly. "Did this guy change his phone number?"

"It looks like we'll have to find them ourselves." Xu Yuan sighed helplessly.

...

In another high-rise building in Star Ocean City, Wang Meng stood in front of the window walls in his suit and looked down at the bustling city.

He left his phone on the table. After a few rings, he slowly turned around.

"The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce's operation is about to begin!"

He stood by the table and picked up his phone. When he saw the message, his eyes widened!
