chapter 0382 part 2
Opposite the Helipad was a towering giant tree, hundreds of meters thick, with branches spreading thousands of meters. Numerous large Rooms, suspended walkways, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows were carved into the entirely jade-like tree trunk.
Countless high-energy spotlights hung from the treetop, haphazardly shooting light beams into the Sky. All sorts of strange and bizarre patterns flashed across the sky curtain: fully armed mechanical giant beasts, floating flower petals, magnificent Palaces and pavilions.
The entire tree city was enveloped in various colored lights. The extensive use of glass components reflected these radiance, creating a bizarre and fantastical scene, like a fantasy kingdom, perched on Fallen Star.
Black Bolt was also drawn by the magnificent scene before him, watching dumbfounded.
"This is a Tree King on Fallen Star. When the Company's exploration team discovered it, it had already been destroyed in the flames of war. Eighty percent of its trunk had been burned into crystal. Later, the Company performed jade-like treatment on it and used it as the main structure of World City!"
While explaining to the two, Lu Jia instructed the robots at the Helipad to bring two hovercars.
A thick jade-like tree branch extended from the main body of the giant tree to the Helipad. Lu Jia accompanied Adam, and Lu Na accompanied Black Bolt, boarding the two hovercars respectively. The orb-like glass hovercars began to move along the jade-like tree branch road towards World City.
Adam looked out through the glass window. There were hundreds of Helipads near World City, and they were located at the best one. Unlike the crowded and congested Helipads below.
Their Helipad had only ever had their two Spaceships arrive. Adam couldn't help but ask Lu Jia beside him for the reason.
"This Helipad is specially reserved for our Company's High-level Staff and Important Figures from Headquarters like you, Mr. Adam. It's not usually open to the public!"
Lu Jia explained the reason to Adam. Adam nodded understandingly. As the two maglev vehicles passed through the hundreds of meters long jade-like tree road, Galaxy World City got closer and closer. Along the way, Adam finally saw many extraterrestrial life forms who, like them, were arriving at the Hotel by maglev vehicle.
The glass of these maglev orb vehicles had a self-adjusting function. Passengers could choose to set the glass around the orb to transparent or privacy mode.
Most maglev orb vehicles were set to privacy mode. Perhaps to enjoy the surrounding scenery, some tourists chose to make their vehicles transparent.
Adam curiously looked through the orb vehicle window at the strange-looking extraterrestrial life forms. Most of them were various humanoid races, alien races with different skin colors. Some had insect heads and strong limbs, resembling large, upright walking cockroaches from Earth. Others had slender limbs topped with a pumpkin-shaped head, looking extremely intelligent at first glance.
Adam's gaze lingered on an alien with gills on its fish head, closely resembling Earth's fishmen. This alien fishman had something like a space suit hood covering its head, and its entire head was submerged in liquid, which Adam found very unusual.
"They are the Sea Race," Lu Jia noticed Adam's curiosity and introduced him. "Ninety-eight percent of their Planet Surface is seawater, so they evolved the ability to breathe with gills. The Sea Race's civilization is classified as a Tier 2 civilization, but they generally cannot travel without protective suits!"
"That one is a Kunta Tribe member, a rare silicon-based lifeform in the Eastern Galaxy."
"That one is a Muha Tribe member. They reproduce through parasitic reproduction. Any carbon-based life is their parasitic target, but they don't dare cause trouble on Fallen Star!"
Lu Jia introduced the extraterrestrial life forms Adam saw within his scope of knowledge one by one.
Adam looked at the thin female alien whose head resembled an Earth mantis. Hearing the word "parasitic," he immediately felt uncomfortable all over and quickly shifted his gaze.
"What race is that? A Treant?!" Lu Jia followed Adam's gaze and saw a Treant arguing with a bare-chested, bald man covered in red scars, squeezed together in a maglev vehicle.
"I'm sorry, mr., the origin of that Treant is not within my scope of knowledge. However, the man accompanying it seems to be Drax the Destroyer, one of the most famous wanted criminals in the Milky Way Galaxy!"
"Wanted criminal! How do you usually handle wanted criminals like this when you encounter them?" Adam asked curiously.
Lu Jia replied, "You should know the business of Fallen Star. As long as they don't cause trouble on Fallen Star, we generally don't care about the true identity of people who come here to spend. After all, most of the clients we have business dealings with..."
"It seems your security is quite good. You've given them enough sense of security that they don't even need to conceal their appearance..."
"Hey, I said, this button controls the vehicle body changing color!"
"I am Groot!"
"Quickly close the window! We can't be discovered by those bounty hunters! Don't forget we both have bounties on our heads!"
"I am Groot!"
"That's just a tree fort, it has nothing to do with you. You're not the same race!"
"I am Groot!"
"I told you, I don't understand what you're saying!"
"I am Groot!"
Adam and Black Bolt's maglev vehicle quickly arrived at Galaxy World City. As soon as Adam stepped out of the maglev vehicle, an alien wearing a silver uniform, with an octopus-like head and even octopus tentacles for arms, came over to greet them. Seeing Adam and Black Bolt, his face was full of smiles. "Two VIPs, I am Paul, the Person in Charge of Galaxy World City. Welcome to World City! President Mand instructed me before your arrival that you two have unlimited credit in Galaxy World City! All your spending will be paid for by our East Galaxy Company!"
Saying this, Paul respectfully handed four transparent crystal cards to Adam and the others.
Looking at the crystal cards flashing red light in their hands, Lu Jia and Lu Na, the two sisters, opened their mouths wide in surprise. They didn't expect to get one too.
Of course, unlike the unlimited credit crystal cards in Adam's and Black Bolt's hands, the crystal cards they held had a limit of five million Galactic Credits. But for ordinary employees like them, this amount was an astronomical figure.
"Is this your first time in Galaxy World City, two VIPs? Do you need me to arrange a guide!?"
"We'll look around casually first. I'll notify you if we need anything!" After taking the crystal cards, Adam casually stuffed them into his pocket.
Paul quickly glanced at Adam's and Black Bolt's expressions. "Oh, I understand. The two VIPs don't wish to rigidly accept arrangements from outsiders? I completely understand your feelings. These two young ladies are also very familiar with Galaxy World City and can accompany you to have a good look around this World City. It has the best entertainment options in the entire Eastern Galaxy. You can spend freely! I won't disturb you any further!"
