C4016 Hedonist
2By contrast, the Republic of the Oceania is alive everywhere because it is a commercial empire.
Meng Fan was strolling around the capital of the Oceanic Republic, casually writing down his perception. At this moment, the two apostles said that they had a job and needed to leave temporarily. Meng Fan didn't say anything and just acquiesced.
Meng Fan casually walked and unintentionally arrived at a winery.
This winery was extremely large. Within the imperial city, there were tens of thousands of mu of fields that were planted with some sort of winemaking crop. There were several dozen large warehouses in the middle and several tens of thousands of feet in front.
It was said that this was the most famous winery in the imperial city. It belonged to a big merchant, who owned land in many places in the Oceanic Republic. He grew large amounts of crops and built winemaking workshops.
This was also one of the characteristics of Doranese. Meng Fan discovered that regardless of whether it was the Li Family or the rich or powerful, or even the God King, all of the people of the Li Family drank wine, but their levels of alcohol were different, so the Li Family only drank ordinary fruit wine or distilled wine, while the God Kings generally drank wine made from expensive spirit objects, medicinal herbs, and even some precious beasts. The Doranese did not have the concept of Pills, so a bottle of expensive alcohol had the same effect as Pills.
In this winery, the most expensive wines were sold. Some wines were worth more than ten million Natural Crystal s worth of coins and were made with all kinds of spirit herbs and precious beast cores. The process was complex, up to tens of thousands.
Ever since Meng Fan started cultivating Blood Kunlun, the moment he started circulating his energy, he would need to consume a shocking amount of energy. Also because he had Blood Kunlun in his hands, Meng Fan could completely digest anything he devoured right now, simply raising his physical strength. The Nameless Temple gave Meng Fan a way forward, which was to continuously devour all kinds of heaven and earth treasures, storing energy, and then transforming into a qualitative change.
However, after the journey, Meng Fan did not circulate his Blood Kunlun energy and he did not absorb any energy.
He took out a few space badges from his pocket. These were the local currencies that the Millennium Defense Department had given to Meng Fan according to the official standards. There were also hundreds of millions of Natural Crystal currency, which was given to Meng Fan to use while he was at the Millennium Universe.
Buy some good wine and go back to drink with your sister.
Meng Fan couldn't help but smile. At this moment, he didn't look like an immortal, but more like the husband of the Gu family. He wanted to buy a few bottles of wine and a wife to drink when he was free.
Putting away the token, Meng Fan entered the winery.
The winery was very quiet, and no one came to receive Meng Fan. Many customers like Meng Fan were walking alone among the wine racks.
The guests here, judging from their clothes, were all rich and powerful. The clothes that Doranese wore were very special, they were all long loose gowns, and usually, they were a few layers inside and out. However, looking at the texture and color of the gowns, one could tell that their identities were different.
The most colorful was white, and the texture was just ordinary cloth. Some cultivators would wear blue or green, and Celestial King Stage s would mostly wear red. Moreover, most of them were magic tools.
The guests here were all wearing long red gowns. Occasionally, one could see some guests wearing red, but there were purple stripes on their sleeves or on their chests. This meant that they had a very high status.
The the Empire Of Otis and the Rolin Empire, those who could wear purple, were all emperors, or relatives of emperors. The Oceanic Republic was a merchant empire, so there were not that many strict rules, but in the culture of Doranese, purple was indeed noble, so those who could wear purple, were definitely not normal people.
Furthermore, the long gowns worn by these customers were all, without exception, Taoist Artifact s.
Meng Fan was casually walking in the wine rack when he suddenly saw a cabinet.
This was a cabinet made of black diamond. Upon seeing the black diamond, one could tell how expensive the cabinet was. The black diamond was a special product of the Universe of Eight Kings, and it was then sold through various channels to the neighboring universe. Its price would often increase by several times.
Inside the cabinet was a bottle of silver wine.
Meng Fan's gaze swept across and saw that the cabinet was a Low Grade Tao Artifact. There were countless seals on it. Although Peak Life could see what was inside, it would take some time for Peak Life to open it.
The wine was called "Tears of Flan" and Flan was an ancient evil god from Doranese legends. Meng Fan wasn't too clear on the other details.
The price was 400 million Natural Crystal coins.
This price could be considered a sky-high price.
The size of a Natural Crystal was equivalent to a grain of corn and its weight was 750 kilograms. After purifying the Natural Crystal multiple times, it was created according to the standard mold and used in Millennium Universe.
400 million Natural Crystal coins, what kind of concept was that? If this was in Universe of Eight Kings, this number of Natural Crystal would be equivalent to the net income of a Divine Kingdom for four or five days.
A Divine Kingdom, countless Divine Kings, hundreds of billions of civilians, all sorts of businesses, taxes, and a net income of four or five days … just how astonishing was that?
Meng Fan watched quietly in front of the cabinet for a while and couldn't help laughing. Whether this bottle of wine was worth this price or not, Meng Fan was slightly impressed by the winery's scheming. There was no special 'care' for this bottle of wine, but the wine shelves were filled with Taoist Artifact s, placed in the middle of the road. The surrounding wine racks were also filled with expensive wine that cost around ten million.
Almost every customer who took a few steps inside would pass by this bottle of wine. They would definitely be able to see it, and the wine was placed in a seemingly 'careless' manner, allowing others to feel the rich and powerful aura of the winery.0
Meng Fan did not plan to spend all the official expenses on this bottle of wine. The value of this bottle of wine was not that high in Meng Fan's eyes.
He was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, someone behind him said, "This bottle of wine belongs to me now. Be more tactful."
Meng Fan slowly turned around and saw the speaker.
It was around nine feet tall, slender, pale skin, and deep eyebrows. It had a very deep tattoo on it, and an aquiline nose, which gave it a standard Doranese appearance.
The man's face was filled with a treacherous aura, as well as an indescribable feeling of floating waves.
Behind him were three servants and five maids, all of whom followed him closely.
The man was a Celestial King of Nine Tribulations, the three servants were also nine tribulations, and their physical bodies were extremely powerful. The five maids looked very beautiful, but in reality, they were also seven tribulations and Celestial King of Eight Tribulations, all of whom could be considered experts.
The man's identity was obviously not ordinary.
Meng Fan didn't care about it. He ignored the man and walked a few steps forward.
At this time, the owner of the winery suddenly appeared. He came up to the man and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you've come."
The man ignored the owner of the winery and continued to stare at Meng Fan. He said coldly, "Why do you have aliens here?"
The owner of the winery was stunned for a moment before he saw Meng Fan.
