580 Entering the City! (1)
Chai Xiaoping brought Lin Bei and the others around the streets and briefly introduced the layout of Azure Dragon City to them.
Only then did everyone know that the outer city of Azure Dragon City was not always divided into slums and rich districts.
However, because of the difference in strength, the gap between the rich and poor in the outer city gradually widened.
The people in the slums were usually relatively weak, so they usually did some small business themselves.
On the other hand, the people in the wealthy districts were relatively powerful. They usually obtained wealth by searching for or plundering precious resources from other areas.
Therefore, the weaker groups began to band together.
That was how the slums came into existence.
As a result, the people in the slums became poorer and poorer. Being poor in Azure Dragon City meant that they lacked cultivation resources. Therefore, even if some talented children appeared, their families did not have the ability to give them a good cultivation environment.
For so many years, it has been a vicious cycle.
"What about the inner city?" Lin Bei was a little curious after hearing Chai Xiaoping's introduction.
"I don't know much about the situation in the inner city, but I heard from the older generation that the inner city is filled with top-notch experts. Only those who have made meritorious contributions in Azure Dragon City can enter. Moreover, I heard that the food, accommodation, and transportation in the inner city are free. All the advanced technological resources in Azure Dragon City are first enjoyed by the people in the inner city. The treatment is especially good!"
Chai Xiaoping talked non-stop about the inner city.
"Azure Dragon City's system sounds really unfair." Lin Bei sighed when he heard Chai Xiaoping's words.
Such a powerful city actually had such a class division. It was like a feudal ancient society. It seemed that many talented people had been buried in the slums.
"It's getting late. Boss Lin, if you don't mind, I'll bring you guys home for dinner. My father is very good at cooking~"
Chai Xiaoping looked at the setting sun and said to Lin Bei and the other two.
"Then we'll oblige respectfully."
Lin Bei and the other two did not stand on ceremony and agreed directly.
…
Soon, they arrived at Chai Xiaoping's house.
This was a very small courtyard. Smoke rose from the chimney, and the fragrance of food came from the house.
"Dad, Mom, I've found a customer!" Chai Xiaoping pushed open the courtyard door and shouted into the house.
"Stupid girl, you're only back when it's dark. It's not peaceful outside these two days. Don't be a guide!" A beautiful middle-aged woman who was slightly plump opened the door.
"Mom! Can you stop nagging!" Chai Xiaoping muttered.
"I'm just worried about your safety. Who asked you to be so worrying?" the woman immediately said.
"Uh… Hello, Xiaoping's mother." Seeing this, Mengli greeted the woman.
The woman was slightly stunned. She was so focused on scolding Chai Xiaoping that she did not notice Lin Bei and the other two.
"Mom, these are the guests I received. Boss Lin and the others are here to do business, they're not bad people. They even gave me 1,000 Azure Dragon Coins as guide fee. They're very generous. Don't worry."
Chai Xiaoping explained when she saw her slightly stunned mother.
"I'm sorry. Welcome, welcome. Come in and sit." Mrs. Chai smiled in embarrassment and invited Lin Bei and the others into the house.
After Lin Bei and the other two had a full meal at Chai Xiaoping's house, Chai Xiaoping said that she wanted to bring them to the wealthy district.
"I haven't come out at night for a few days. I must thank you guys." After Chai Xiaoping left home, she said to Lin Bei and the others.
"Why?" Mengli asked.
"You just heard my family say that Azure Dragon City is not peaceful. A few days ago, there was news that an elder had betrayed the Azure Dragon Domain. They asked everyone to pay attention. There's even a bounty."
As she spoke, Chai Xiaoping took out a portrait from her wide sleeve. On it was Jin Jia.
When Lin Bei saw the portrait, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Jin Jia, oh Jin Jia. If the elders of Azure Dragon City knew that the traitor Jin Jia, who was wanted by the entire city, had long been under my command, what would their expressions be…
"What's wrong? Have you seen this person above?" Chai Xiaoping saw Lin Bei's expression and felt a little strange.
"No, no." Lin Bei shook his head and denied.
"Alright, if only I was strong enough to catch this traitor and obtain the reward from above," Chai Xiaoping stuffed the portrait back into her sleeve and muttered to herself.
"You guys are short of money." Ji Xuanyuan saw Chai Xiaoping's expression.
"Yes."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Bosses, this is the wealthy district of Azure Dragon City. This place is not like our slums where we work day and night. It's daytime at any time."
Chai Xiaoping explained when she saw Lin Bei and the other two standing rooted to the ground.
Lin Bei and the others were indeed shocked by this place.
It was clearly dark just now, but how did it become daytime after entering this so-called rich district? It was very magical.
"I think so. The people here are all experts like you. They don't need to sleep, right? Haha."
Chai Xiaoping looked at the few people who had not regained their senses for a long time and smiled.
"The city is really big. There are all kinds of scenes." Lin Bei sighed.
"The astronomical phenomenon here should have been formed by gathering the power of many people…" Mengli sensed through her power of the sun and moon. The people here should have made this place look like what they had always known in their hearts, forcefully using their power to make the astronomical phenomenon look like this.
"Pervert…" Ji Xuanyuan complained.
Under Chai Xiaoping's lead, the few of them started to tour the wealthy district.
