An hour passed again.

The ship successfully docked once more.

Looking back from the direction the ship came from, I realized that the entrance was merely a small island in the middle of the river.

The captain was right; if I didn’t board the ship, the chances of starving on the island were quite high.

”We’re here.” After docking the ship, the captain didn’t show up again and notified Han Zhan through a loudspeaker.

Upon hearing the captain’s notification, Han Zhan decisively leaped onto the dock.

Once he steadied himself on the dock, the ship left the dock, like a tireless bird with no legs, once again moving into the river.

”Work, this is work… screech, screech… I love work…”

A continuous unclear voice came from the loudspeaker atop the ship, carrying a unique and strange tune.

”Traveler from afar… remember how treacherous human nature can be… this is my… first lesson for you…”

Is he singing?

Listening to the sound from the ship’s loudspeaker, Han Zhan continued walking towards the city from the port.

He saw another tall sign with a blue background and white characters.

It clearly read: ”Sun Never Sets Port.”

Han Zhan: ”???”

On the ship.

While steering and singing in a strange voice and tune, the cabin door behind the captain opened.

A ”captain” who looked identical in appearance, height, and clothing walked in.

He walked up, raised his hand to grab the other captain’s shoulder, then opened the cabin door and forcefully threw him out.

A 70-80 kilogram adult was flung out far away.

With a loud splash, he fell into the river and disappeared beneath the surface.

”Energy is about to run out, faults are numerous, even started singing.”

”Let me check the work log.”

”Tsk, it’s been ten years since the last update of the work log.”

”Recently, there have been two boarding records, one from a month ago to the Anti-Xia Alliance, and one today, hmm?”

The new captain, flipping through the records, made a slight sound of surprise.

”First port information entry failed? Reason for failure: the boarder lied about a completely non-existent ’Gui Hun Port’.”

”Second port information entry succeeded, the entered port was Anti-Summer Port, but due to a fault, was sent to the opposing force, the Sun Never Sets Knight Order’s port.”

The captain silently finished reading these two records and skillfully took out a pen to scribble on the work log.

Soon, the information about these two entries was completely obliterated by two pure black lines.

”Problem solved.” The captain’s tone slightly lifted, carrying a hint of joy, ”I hope that poor guy sent to the wrong port can enjoy himself.”

”Toot, toot, toot—”

The ship’s whistle sounded once again, this time more cheerful, like replacing with new batteries, accelerating towards the distance.

Sun Never Sets Port.

The ”unlucky guy” took several deep breaths, adjusting to the complex state of mind at this moment.

In his heart, the captain had been cursed at least ten thousand times.

”I curse you to sink immediately in the river, right now, immediately!” Han Zhan said through gritted teeth.

He hadn’t had much interaction with the Imperial Knights.

The only interaction was at the end of the Deep Blue Calamity, seeing the leader of the Imperial Knight Order, Louis XVII.

The Impression Han Zhan had of the Imperial Knights was that they were proud, confident, and extremely arrogant people.

They admired faith, pursued faith, and were willing to sacrifice their lives for faith.

”These are just normal knights, but here, it’s the City of Extreme Evil.” Han Zhan muttered to himself, cutting off memories of knights in his mind.

Just now, he had received his first lesson on the treacherousness of human nature.

In the City of Extreme Evil, one must not judge with a normal person’s way of thinking. Han Zhan reminded himself once again.

Sun Never Sets Port was far more prosperous than he imagined.

Walking inland from the landing dock, the number of people gradually increased.

Small wooden fishing boats were docked along the shore, and people were loading goods onto the boats on the dock.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Han Zhan felt a moment of daze.

Most of the people responsible for loading goods had white skin, with a few who were dark-skinned seemingly playing the role of overseers.

While Han Zhan was observing them, they also noticed Han Zhan stepping out from the Sun Never Sets Port dock, casting curious glances.

”Hey, new friend.”

Not far away, a man wearing a coffee-colored plaid jacket, loose grey pants, and a taupe beret hurried over.

”I think you must be lacking direction in life right now.”

The man, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, took off his beret while talking, tidied his thinning chestnut curls, then firmly put it back on.

”Let me introduce myself, Andrew.”

”Bob.” Han Zhan replied honestly.

”Very good, Bob. Now, we’ve established a preliminary acquaintance, considered half friends. So, as your half friend, do you want to go somewhere with me?”

Middle-aged Andrew spoke, forming his left hand into a fist and poking his index finger from the right hand into the gap in the fist, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Han Zhan, slightly startled, leaned back in a tactical manner.

So, this middle-aged man named Andrew is a pimp.

No matter where you go, the industry of human reproduction is always thriving, be it in Titan City or the City of Extreme Evil.

”No, no, no, I’m not that kind of person.” Han Zhan shook his head without hesitation.

Seeing Han Zhan wanting to refuse, Andrew took a step forward, extending two fingers from his right hand to make a ”two” gesture.

”Twenty gold coins. For one time.”

”Oh, since you just arrived in the City of Extreme Evil, I forgot to tell you. Gold coins are the hard currency here, one gold coin is equivalent to one dollar outside.”

So, twenty gold coins are equivalent to twenty dollars?

Has the current economic situation already deteriorated to such an extent that even the City of Extreme Evil is affected?

Twenty dollars for one time, a price Han Zhan never dared to imagine before.

”Where is it?”

”Don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious and want to take a look.” Han Zhan added.

Hearing Han Zhan say so, Andrew gave him a knowing glance, then took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket, ready to place it in Han Zhan’s hand.

”No, wait a minute, why are you giving me money?” Han Zhan was confused.

”Twenty gold coins for one time? Weren’t you ’curious and wanted to have a look’?”

”Don’t be shy, newcomers have a freshness value outside; it’s worth this price. If you stay here longer, you’ll only be worth ten gold coins.”

”But if you agree to be with a man, I can add another twenty gold coins.” Andrew’s smile became increasingly vulgar.

Han Zhan was shocked and pushed Andrew away with force. ”You better get lost!”
