America's No.1 Demon Cultivator

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Stereotypes



Panama, David City.

This is a border city between Panama and Costa Rica.

After getting off the ship, travelers arrive here and then make their way to Costa Rica.

This place is easy to cross; just across the street is Costa Rica.

And...

Xiu Nuo looked at the rows of taxis and the smiles on the faces of the taxi drivers in front of him.

Clearly, they had been waiting here for people for a long time.

Outstanding was a service with a smile, signifying an industry's maturity.

Xiu Nuo now understood what Wang Fugui meant by safety.

The previous journey had slowly made one forget that they were human, but arriving here could instantly remind someone that they were indeed human.

At the same time, Xiu Nuo was still full of curiosity about his surroundings.

Although fragments of memory had brought some "modern" memories, after blending with Xiu Nuo's complete memories from his past life, they seemed somewhat false.

Now, seeing with his own eyes, Xiu Nuo still found it very fresh.

The cars running on the road were a kind of Magical Treasure that did not use spiritual power for movement.

Streetlights were a type of illumination device that did not use flames.

Electric poles seemed to replace spiritual energy in this world, providing 'external' energy to beings.

It's just that this kind of power couldn't be introduced into one's body.

Unfortunately, if one could harness such energy within themselves, maybe it would help in battling the thunder of Crossing Tribulation.

Or perhaps... when advancing to the Qi Refinement Realm later, I could try using some orthodox Thunder Skills?

After all, it seems like every household here has a Gathering Spirit Array—oh wait, that's electricity.

Yes, worth a try! In my world, there doesn't seem to be such a safe method of improving one's physical resistance to lightning.

Thinking this, Wang Fugui had already led Xiu Nuo and a few others across the street and then got into a taxi.

He himself sat in the front passenger seat and was talking to the driver, while the back seat was occupied by Xiu Nuo and two women.

As for Zhang Wenxuan and the other two, they got into the car behind them, and their fare, they heard, was still to be paid by themselves.

Xiu Nuo watched the two speaking and saw the smile on the driver's face growing bigger; it was obviously a big fare.

When the car started, Wang Fugui turned back, looked at Xiu Nuo, and said, "This guy made a fortune; he will take us to the border city of Costa Rica, for this trip... I hope my cash is enough."

Xiu Nuo didn't look at him, but curiously watched the outside scenery and responded, "I hope so too, otherwise I'll have to make your cash enough in my own way."

Wang Fugui: "....."

Xiu Nuo turned back and glanced at him: "Isn't there a big grudge following us in the back? This isn't the rainforest anymore; there are banks here, Fugui, they are the wallets I got for you. Speaking of which, do you have a map? I remember such a thing exists, can you get me one?"

Wang Fugui's eyes widened: "Brother, don't you have a smartphone? Speaking of which, since you narrowly escaped death that day, I haven't seen you use it, is it out of battery?"

After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he said a few words to the driver, who joyfully pulled out a power bank.

"The service is really great." Xiao Rui remarked: "They've got it all prepared."

"These days, people's need for phone charging is more severe than for cash," Wang Fugui handed the power bank to Xiu Nuo, saying, "Believe me, the homeless in America, their first concern is not where to find help, but where they can charge their phones."

Xiu Nuo took the power bank and then started to carefully search through his mind's information, but...

"My phone." Xiu Nuo found some fragments of information about his phone, "It seems like I've lost it."

"Now I understand, it was swiped by those guys." Wang Fugui said as he took out his phone, pulled up a map, and handed it to Xiu Nuo, "It's right here, if there's any information later, remember to tell me. It concerns our safety going forward."

Xiu Nuo did not respond, but instead looked at the map in his hands.

His mind continued to outline everything about this world.

He needed to quickly understand the world, and about the phone, he had also gathered some information.

In his words, it was a very magical artifact. You should know, the functions possessed by the phones in this world would require major Immortal Sects to arrange large arrays to achieve similar effects back in his world.

In this world, almost everyone had one of these devices!

The marvels of this world had shifted Xiu Nuo's initial disdain for the thin and impure spiritual energy to a mixture of curiosity and some respect.

Could mortals achieve this without cultivating?

Looking at the map, Xiu Nuo calculated the time he had walked through the rainforest and the size of the map, then he came to a terrifying conclusion.

This world was much smaller than he had imagined.

In his own world, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could fly for three days and nights and might only cover one province, but in this world, with the speed of a Nascent Soul, half an hour of pure flying would suffice to cross a continent; if escape skills were used, it would be even faster.

Then, Xiu Nuo noticed a particular place and curiously said, "This place... should be closer, right?"

"Huh?" Wang Fugui looked back and instantly knew what Xiu Nuo was referring to, "Oh, you mean from the Bahamas to Florida. Forget it, their main business is tourism. Even if they waive the visa for you, what does it matter? They are very strict with their immigration, and most importantly, they don't have this business!"

As if to prove his worth as a guide, Wang Fugui continued, "So, it's close there, and safe, I mean safety from people. But you would have to buy your own boat. However, that place is full of reefs, you definitely need a well-experienced pilot to navigate, otherwise, you'll definitely hit a reef."

"So, we're back to the original problem, they don't have a smuggling business. Plus, there are informers. Once the report is accepted by them, you know? I've seen lots of these smart folks sent over in Ecuador."

Linlin glanced at the map, "But it looks pretty close, can't we just make a boat ourselves? Like a raft wouldn't have to worry about reefs, right?"

Wang Fugui scoffed coldly, "Miss, you perfectly fit the stereotype I have of you line walkers; you're just short of having 'ignorance' written across your face. That little distance on the map is actually a full two hundred kilometers!"

"And just to give you a cold fact, between the Bahamas and the United States runs a particularly strong Gulf Stream. Your raft doesn't have any power, believe me, you're more likely to reach Bermuda first compared to Florida. I need not say more about that place, right?"

Linlin had already lowered her head.

Although Wang Fugui was speaking to Linlin, it was clear who the message was really for.

Having proven his point, Wang Fugui looked at Xiu Nuo and earnestly said, "Mr. Chu, I'm professional, really, very, very professional! The premise is, you have to trust me, and ensure my safety!"

Xiu Nuo smiled at him, "Of course. Someone's looking for you."

Xiu Nuo pressed the play button, and a series of voices came through, "Tony! Where the heck have you been? You better tell me why those drug dealers are looking for me!"

Wang Fugui's face changed color, "Damn it!"

Xiu Nuo then smiled, "It seems those drug dealers are smarter than I thought."

Wang Fugui was about to reply, but the next moment, his cold sweat broke out.

"You... how can you understand that? He's not speaking Mandarin, or English…"

Xiu Nuo shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe I just have a high talent for languages, I've listened a lot these days. You always repeat the same meaning in many languages, don't you? So through the tone and some key words, it's quite easy to understand what he's saying."

If I hadn't had this memory and discernment, how could I have secretly learned from those obscure and difficult secret scriptures and cultivation techniques during my years cleaning the scriptures library? Those were much more complex than the languages used merely for conversation in this world."

Wang Fugui's eyes gradually widened, and finally, he scratched his head, "Damn, I really can't understand! With your skills, why be a refugee!"
