Books accounted for the vast majority, as many as ten, and they were heavy.

There are two gems.

One red and one blue, they flicker in your hand.

The "charming" fragrance comes from these two gems.

Jason was not in a hurry to start the meal. He wiped the two gems and put them into his coat pocket. Then, under the increasingly resentful eyes of his 'collaborator', he flipped through the ten books.

They are all books about "mysterious side" knowledge.

However, there are some key points that are missing, and there are still some mistakes.

After Jason finished flipping through it very quickly, he threw the books into his backpack.

There is no doubt about it.

These ten books are also traps dug by the master of the secret passage for the ‘collaborators’.

The basics are all correct.

But regarding the 'ritual', some weird knowledge has been tampered with.

Normally you can't see it.

At the critical moment, it is life-threatening.

But it's none of Jason's business.

Neither the 'collaborator' nor the owner of the secret passage is a good person.

If anyone dies, Jason will not be affected at all.

Not to mention sad.

So, when walking towards the bookshelf, Jason stepped on the 'collaborator' again.

The opponent's newly healed spine was broken again.

The 'collaborator' could not speak, but in the translucent skull, the brain was squirming crazily. Apparently the emotion had reached an extreme. When Jason saw it, he raised his foot and crushed the limbs of the 'collaborator'.

Immediately, the crazy squirming brain calmed down.

Jason sneered and looked up at the remaining books on the bookshelf in front of him.

What are the virtues of the residents of the ‘city that never sleeps’?

A combination of cautious, timid yet vicious and ruthless.

He is someone who takes the 'Law of the Jungle' to its extreme.

It cannot be said that there are no good people.

But there are really not many good people.

Because he died too quickly.

No matter how good a person is, if he survives in the 'city that never sleeps', he will hide his kindness and let himself show his sharpness.

Living is so difficult.

Especially living in the 'city that never sleeps'.

As for wanting a better life?

Jason didn't dare to think about it before.

However, now, he has similar thoughts.

Therefore, he needs to know more about the 'city that never sleeps'.

He learned about the "city that never sleeps" from outside the circle where the "old man" lived.

That,

Books are essential.

So, Jason raised his hand and took down the seven or eight books on the bookshelf.

These books may not record knowledge about the 'mysterious side', but for Jason at this moment, as long as they record more things about the 'City that Never Sleeps', they will be valuable.

Looking at the books in his hand, Jason picked up the thinnest one.

The reason why I say there are seven or eight books is because the one in Jason's hand is too thin.

It doesn't look like a book at all.

It's more like...

Promotional brochure.

When Jason saw the words on the book clearly, he blinked.

Because, it is really a promotional brochure!

This is a slightly yellowed promotional brochure, with high-rise buildings, blue sky, white clouds and the sun printed on the front page, as well as a line of words: Welcome to Shangcheng District!

Blue sky and white clouds!

sun!

Clean streets!

Straight tall building!

Especially the people walking with each other and smiling on the street took Jason's breath away.

Jason would not be surprised to see such a scene anywhere.

But in the ‘city that never sleeps’?

Incredible!

Subconsciously, Jason opened the brochure.

The pictures on every page are beautiful.

He saw modern communities, shopping malls, and amusement parks that were just like his hometown.

Likewise, he also saw the introduction texts.

100000!

With only 100,000 gold, you can get the qualification to go to the Uptown District!

There is no fighting here!

No more hunger!

Here you will get everything you could not imagine in the past!

The text is full of temptation, mixed with the beautiful photos.

Jason flipped through from beginning to end.

His brows wrinkled involuntarily.

Instinctively, he didn't believe the brochure.

He always felt like this was a trap.

But he didn't know much about the Shangcheng District of the "City that Never Sleeps". He only heard a few words from the "Old Man" occasionally.

To sum up, it’s——

Uptown is a great place.

It's heaven.

When he retires, he must live uptown.

Judging from the words of the 'old man', the upper town of the 'City That Never Sleeps' should be in line with the description in this brochure.

But similarly, Jason also trusted his instincts.

Put down the brochures in your hands.

Jason picked up the remaining seven books.

When he opened it, he discovered that these seven books were actually diaries.

The diary that records the first half of the life of the secret passage master ‘Kulin’——

1118R.2.3 Sunny

I finally got the qualification to study in school.

Teacher Kander didn't lie to me. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.

1118R.2.6 Sunny

Teacher Kander sent me to school. The people here are really nice, their clothes are clean and they are very friendly. Even when they heard that I was from Xiacheng District, there was nothing strange about me.
