Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2593

"Heh," the old man chuckled and said, "Kid, you're asking the right person. Let me tell you. This isn't my first time in Buck Town. In fact, this is my third time here. I came twice before, but after leaving, I felt it wasn't right, so I came back again. This time, I plan to stay in Buck Town to cultivate, improve my strength, and then leave."

Wilbur asked in confusion, "But the energy concentration here isn't high. Cultivating here won't quickly enhance one's strength. Is there another reason why you chose to stay, sir?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "No, no, kid, just don't ask."

"Okay, I apologize for the intrusion, sir."

Knowing it was impolite to pry, Wilbur stopped talking. Seeing Wilbur not asking further, the old man became curious and voluntarily said, "Ah, forget it. I'll tell you. Actually, each of the nine major towns in the middle dimensions has its own characteristics. The fair major towns might not have killings within the city, but once you leave, you're as good as dead. Buck Town may be a town of slaughter, but here, as long as you join one of the Eight Great Families and work under them, having that status means you won't be easily killed even if you leave the city."

He took a brief pause to let his words sink in, then continued, "So, Buck Town isn't a good place for powerful cultivators. But for weaker cultivators, it's a great place to cultivate. Moreover, besides cultivation, there's a lot to learn about human relationships and the world. The Eight Great Families each have their own identity and status. Here, if you join one of the Eight Great Families and become one of them, you can gain some benefits by pleasing them and doing things right."

The old man smiled and whispered to Wilbur, "Do you know how much gold the richest man in Buck Town, Babbit, possesses?"

Wilbur knew gold was the common currency in the major towns, but since he was new here and unfamiliar with everything, he could only shake his head and say helplessly, "I don't know."

"In Buck Town, if a fight breaks out, first report the family you serve."

"There are many different areas outside the city filled with various rare beasts. However, unless you have the strength, you better not provoke them."

The two guards explained many rules that Wilbur had already heard in Earth's dimension, so he did not pay much attention.

However, in the end, the two guards suddenly mentioned that people from the Eight Great Families would come tomorrow to select slaves. They advised everyone to display their full strength. Otherwise, entering Buck Town as an individual would be very dangerous if they were not chosen.
