581 Entering the City! (2)
The leisure and entertainment activities in the wealthy district were much richer than in the slums. Just as Chai Xiaoping had said, the wealthy district was more prosperous than the slums.
This place was visibly more modern. There were rows of tall buildings.
The streets were clean and spacious. There were countless bars, KTVs, and such entertainment venues. There were almost no people walking on the streets.
The people here were wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes and riding their own personal vehicles.
They hurried to and fro in all directions without any expression, unlike the people in the slums who chatted on the streets.
The four of them chatted as they walked on their feet. They looked out of place here.
However, no one stopped to look at the four “strange” people.
“Why does this place feel so cold?” Mengli was not used to this environment and frowned.
“Perhaps the residents of the wealthy district require more efficiency than we do, so they seem a little impersonal,” Chai Xiaoping explained.
“I realized that we haven’t seen a restaurant after shopping for a long time.”
Along the way, Lin Bei used the Eye of Stars to observe the shops here. Although there were few customers here, he felt that the level of technology was not inferior to the Harmonious Development Group. But he did not see a single restaurant.
“The people here don’t eat our traditional food. They usually eat that.”
Chai Xiaoping stopped in front of a convenience store and pointed inside.
The few of them stopped and looked in the direction Chai Xiaoping was pointing.
The goods in the shop were arranged neatly, but there were only a few types of goods here. They were completely different from the many styles in the Harmonious Development Group.
After using the Eye of Stars to observe, Lin Bei realized that these were all molecular food that could increase the cultivator’s sense of satiety, food satisfaction, and so on to achieve the effect of quickly recovering their physical state.
“The people here won’t waste their time sitting in a restaurant to eat. This thing is very expensive. It’s not something we poor people can afford. We poor people don’t have money and are weak. That’s why we cook ourselves.”
Chai Xiaoping shrugged.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bei felt that the residents of this wealthy district were even more strange.
In order to increase the efficiency of their actions and reject all the things they thought were a waste of time, eating molecularly synthesized nutritious food and wearing gorgeous suits, they were rich people one level higher than the poor.
In Lin Bei’s opinion, the residents of the slums ate the various foods they cooked and helped each other. The residents of this so-called rich district were like livestock that grew up on perfect food. They were not like human beings.
“It’s too dreary here. I’ll take you to a fun place.”
Chai Xiaoping had an idea. She took out a map from somewhere.
“This is an amusement park. It’s a rare place for laughter in the wealthy district, but the tickets cost 1,000 Azure Dragon Coins. Do you want to go?”
Chai Xiaoping pointed at the map and asked Lin Bei and company expectantly.
“Yes,” Lin Bei said readily when he saw Chai Xiaoping’s expression.
It was just Azure Dragon Coins. He had a lot of them.
“That’s great, but this place is a little far. It’s just that it will take a long time to walk…” Chai Xiaoping said again.
Lin Bei naturally understood the meaning behind Chai Xiaoping’s words. Along the way, Chai Xiaoping had told them a lot about the Azure Dragon Country and even brought them home to eat delicious food.
Furthermore, it was necessary for cultivators like her, who had yet to reach the Extraordinary realm, to rest at night. Chai Xiaoping had worked hard to bring them to quickly understand Azure Dragon City.
Lin Bei could tell that Chai Xiaoping also wanted to use this opportunity to see what the amusement park in the wealthy district looked like.
Therefore, without a word, Lin Bei dispersed his divine sense and quickly identified the direction to the amusement park.
The power of the spatial law fluctuated, and the four of them instantly arrived at the entrance of the amusement park.
“Boss Lin, you’re so strong!” Chai Xiaoping was surprised.
“That’s nothing.” Lin Bei waved his hand, indicating that this was nothing to him and that she did not have to take it to heart.
Just like that, the few of them successfully entered the amusement park in Azure Dragon City.
Among them, there were many rides that were very novel for the few of them to take in. It was very fresh.
The bumper cars here were maglev, and there was a super-large Ferris wheel the size of the moon, and a super-long roller coaster built in the mountains…
The few of them played in the park for a while. In the end, they even watched the fireworks performance before leaving reluctantly.
“I’m so happy.” Mengli’s smile was bright.
It had been a long time since she had felt pure joy. She could temporarily put the burden on her shoulders behind her and only enjoy the joy of playing. It was really satisfying!
Chai Xiaoping, who was at the side, was clearly tired from playing. She kept yawning as if she was about to fall asleep while walking.
Seeing her like this, Lin Bei remembered that he had bought a lot of pearl milk tea with recovery effects from the Harmonious Development Group, so he took out a cup from his pocket space.
“Xiaoping, I’ll give you this. It can heal your fatigue.”
“This is… Pearl Milk Tea? I’ve only seen it when I was a guide. I’ve never drunk it before. Thank you, Boss Lin!”
Chai Xiaoping took the milk tea and drank it in one gulp.
In an instant, she felt a lot of strength surging in her body. All her fatigue was swept away, and her entire body was filled with energy.
Moreover, because of the increase in strength, her five senses had an unprecedented clarity.
“What kind of divine thing is this? It’s amazing!” Chai Xiaoping exclaimed.
Lin Bei was a little surprised to see Chai Xiaoping’s change. Ordinary cultivators could only recover through the pearl milk tea, but not only did Chai Xiaoping recover, but she also improved.
It seemed that this girl was not ordinary.
Under Chai Xiaoping’s lead, Lin Bei and the rest bought a lot of things in the department store.
Their financial resources made Chai Xiaoping very envious. The boss was indeed the boss. Poor people like her could not reach him…
Later, Chai Xiaoping brought Lin Bei and the rest to a second-hand bookstall.
“Give me a minute.”
After wandering around for a long time, Chai Xiaoping finally bought a stack of books with the 1,000 Azure Dragon Coins she had just earned.
“You used all 1,000 Azure Dragon Coins to buy books?” Lin Bei was surprised.
However, Chai Xiaoping smiled and explained, “Books are the steps of human progress. Not only do our slums lack cultivation resources, but we also lack advanced knowledge. I want to do my best to bring everyone hope.”
“Moreover, everyone in the slums is filled with fighting spirit. They can find resources and learn knowledge. Everyone feels that if we work hard together, we can change something one day.”
When Lin Bei heard Chai Xiaoping’s words, he nodded.
Ji Xuanyuan, who was at the side, suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
“The people of the Ocean Blue Planet used to live very hard, but now, they have developed their own survival system and technology. Moreover, there are already many superpower wielders now. With so many hardworking people, you can definitely become stronger!”
With that said, Ji Xuanyuan took out a golden card and stuffed it into Chai Xiaoping’s hand.
Ji Xuanyuan was the ancestor of the Nine States. Over the past thousands of years, he had watched the development of the Ocean Blue Planet and knew very well that it was not easy for them. Therefore, when he faced such a group of people again, he decided to give them hope. In the future, they would also grow stronger and not be buried by unfairness.
“Xiaoping, you have to persevere and work hard towards hope. I lent you these Azure Dragon Coins. When we meet again in the future, you have to return them to me.”
With that said, Ji Xuanyuan pulled Lin Bei and Mengli away, leaving Chai Xiaoping alone on the spot.
Chai Xiaoping looked at the golden card in her hand and was stunned.
Then, she immediately chased after the three of them.
“Boss Lin! Wait…”
She shouted, wanting to stop the three of them and say something.
However, no matter how fast she ran, she could not catch up to the three of them. In just a few breaths, the three of them disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Chai Xiaoping held the gold card in her hand and panted.
She looked in the direction where the three of them had disappeared. After a long silence, her eyes were firm as she continued to chase after them…
