Not long after, The Wanderer slowly approached the sky above the city of Oz, revealing a bustling and vibrant scene before them. The capital city resembled a giant beehive, filled with various airships and hovercars coming and going, creating a dynamic tableau against the city's skyline.
Aidan focused on studying the navigation map, searching for a suitable landing spot. His destination was the area where Lao Zhou's Restaurant was located, in the underground region beneath the bustling surface of Oz. It was the most mysterious and complex part of the city, filled with various unknown secrets and stories. Above the bustling city of Oz, the scene they witnessed resembled a dynamic futuristic urban tableau. This capital city was a complex world that combined advanced technology with ancient traditions, far surpassing any place Aidan had ever seen.
The towering skyscrapers and intricate elevated roadways form a three-dimensional urban space. Glittering billboards and neon lights constantly flash between the buildings, adding a unique charm to the city. Every street and skywalk is filled with merchants, tourists, and people from various planets, displaying diverse languages and clothing, showcasing the city's multicultural character.
Oz City is not only a commercial and technological center, but also a place of mixed fortunes. Here, the noble aristocrats and capitalists rub shoulders with street thieves and smugglers. The underground layers of the city are even more mysterious, hiding countless secrets and underground transactions, serving as a paradise for those seeking to avoid above-board dealings.
Aidan noticed that although the city appeared to be brightly lit on the surface, behind these dazzling lights lay countless unsolved mysteries and potential dangers. They had to proceed with extreme caution in order to avoid unnecessary attention.
The process of finding a landing Location became extremely difficult. They finally found a temporary parking spot in a relatively remote hangar, which was still a distance away from Lao Zhou's restaurant. They had to traverse the bustling city area and then delve into the complex underground world of the city in order to reach their destination.
When The Wanderer slowly landed at the hangar's parking spot, the face of the hangar's owner appeared on the spaceship's communication screen. His round face bore a sly smile, and his eyes sparkled with a hint of cunning. From his weathered face, it was not difficult to see that he was a sly old fox who had experienced many things. His gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and at a glance, he saw that The Wanderer had entered the planet Obidus through illegal means, not through the proper channels.
Aidan was slightly nervous but tried to remain calm as he asked, "Sir, how much will it cost to park here?" The owner's smile widened, as if he was enjoying this sense of oppression, knowing that the people before him had no other choice.
Without hesitation, the boss offered a sky-high price: "Five thousand interstellar currency bars." This price far exceeded the normal range, but in this situation, Aidan knew they didn't have much room for negotiation.
Aidan furrowed his brow slightly, seemingly weighing the cost of this operation in his mind. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner dissatisfaction, and then casually said, "Alright, we accept your price. However, I'd like to personally hand over the currency bars to you."
The boss chuckled, seemingly satisfied with Aidan's response. He replied, "No problem, as long as you can afford it, your ship is absolutely safe with me." There was an unmistakable confidence in his tone.
Aidan's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement, and a relaxed smile graced his face, but it concealed a determination that was understood without words. He turned to Violet and said, "Looks like someone needs a lesson." His tone revealed a hint of worldliness and cynicism, yet carried an anticipation of the impending excitement.
Aidan skillfully maneuvered The Wanderer, and the spacecraft smoothly landed in the designated position in the hangar under his command. Violet sat in the co-pilot's seat, watching every move Aidan made. A hint of disgust appeared on her face, seemingly displeased with this despicable trade. She gently said, "Hey! Don't kill anyone, okay?" Aidan smiled slightly and said to Violet, "Hey, how many times do I have to tell you, don't use your mind-reading ability on me." His tone carried a sense of humor, while also revealing his respect for Violet's ability.
Upon hearing this, Violet showed a hint of helplessness on her face. She knew Aidan's personality and understood that he wouldn't miss any opportunity to teach a lesson to those who oppressed them. She simply shook her head lightly, seemingly hinting to Aidan not to go too far.
Aidan then walked up to the communicator and called out to Saul: "Hey, Saul, let's have some fun together!" His tone was filled with anticipation and excitement. Saul's voice came through the communicator, tinged with curiosity: "What's up, Aidan?"
Aidan replied: "Let's show that greedy boss what we're made of." His words were filled with determination and resilience. Hearing this, Saul also seemed excited, with a hint of anticipation in his voice: "Haha, sounds interesting, I'll be right over."
Aidan hung up the call and turned to face Violet with a meaningful smile. Violet looked at Aidan's back, her helplessness gradually turning into a strange sense of anticipation. She knew that no matter what happened next, being with Aidan and Saul was always full of surprises and challenges.
