Chapter 312 A Smile That Couldn't Be Hidden!
"This...is this Dragon City? A city built on the back of a giant beast!"
A moment later, Aqing, Dongqing, and the others boarded the rising stone house and ascended to the top.
Previously, when I watched the stone house rise rapidly from below, I was simply awestruck.
It wasn't until they personally experienced the rising and falling stone house and felt a wave of dizziness that they truly understood the extraordinary nature of Dragon City.
And... this is just the beginning.
Because they were just ordinary civilians with low combat effectiveness.
There weren't many weapons either.
Tie Nan looked at these people with pity. He saw that they were all dressed in rags, many of them were skin and bones, with sallow skin or skin that was cracked from the wind and sand.
"Let's all go in."
After a quick check, Tie Nan let them in.
Immediately, the gates of the Jiebing Pavilion opened.
Aqing seemed to sense a bright light flash before her eyes.
She closed her eyes subconsciously.
Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she slowly walked in, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up.
"Brother Dongqing, it's so cool here, I love it here," the girl said happily.
The outside world is too hot and windy, while the air here seems very humid.
Moreover, as soon as you step through the gate, you feel a refreshing coolness that wafts towards you.
"I love it too! This is simply heaven!" Dongqing was also stunned at this moment, his mouth wide open.
Upon entering Jiebing Pavilion, the first thing you see is the commercial street.
The neat rows of houses here are a hundred times better than the Blood Moon City Lord's Mansion!
He wouldn't believe it if you told him it wasn't heaven.
The other tribesmen also stared in amazement, repeatedly expressing their admiration.
"There's water and food up ahead, everyone line up to get some!"
Seeing that everyone was standing still, the rabbit-eared girl, the cat girl, and the wolf girl urged them on.
These people were recruited by them, and they are also responsible for monitoring them.
To prevent people from Blood Moon City or any other unscrupulous individuals from sneaking into Dragon City to steal things.
"What? They're bringing water and food right after we arrived?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
Actually, some of them have always thought that...
The people of Longcheng rescued and took them in, but only wanted them to do hard labor.
But now...
Each person held a steaming bowl and ate the roasted meat.
"What kind of water is this? It's so clear, and... after drinking it, I feel like my strength has been restored a lot!"
"Me too! I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch right now!"
Everyone had just taken a sip of water when they smacked their lips and exclaimed in surprise.
It's important to know that most water sources found in the wilderness are murky and contain mud and sand.
However, nobody cared; they drank it anyway, no matter how murky it was.
After all... all water sources are like this; if you don't drink them, you'll die!
But the water source in Dragon City is completely different; it is very clear and sweet, and it also has a peculiar energy.
As soon as Dongqing and the others finished drinking a bowl of water, they were all shocked to find that their previous weakness due to the battle and injuries was rapidly recovering.
"Waaah, Lord City Lord, you're so kind to us!"
A group of people were drinking water and eating barbecue when they suddenly started crying.
These people had lived in very harsh conditions before, and their physical condition was very poor.
To help them recover as quickly as possible, Xiao Yu added a little bit of Night Dew to the water.
Once they regain their strength, they can go back to work tomorrow.
A moment later, after Aqing and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, the three beast-eared girls led them through the forging district gate and into the inner city.
"What a magnificent city! So many plants, so many fruits..."
The outer city and the inner city were always worlds apart.
So, as soon as the three beast-eared girls brought these people in, the exclamations never stopped.
Soon, the group arrived at the residential area.
"My lords, are you here to tour the inner city with your entourage?" At that moment, a tall girl with short hair walked by and greeted the three beast-eared girls with a smile.
As she spoke, she looked at the large group of ragged people in front of her, a playful smile in her eyes.
The pathetic state of these people is just like my own yesterday.
"Little Nako, are you going to work in the forging area?" June waved with a smile.
Nako is exceptionally talented; even Xiao Yu praised him, saying that his future achievements would not be inferior to Chu Ling Shuang's.
Therefore, Chu Ling Shuang doted on her very much.
After obtaining Xiao Yu's permission, he even took her to the city lord's mansion for meals several times.
Everyone is quite familiar with this future middle to senior manager.
"Yeah! The teacher is going to teach me something new today, hehe! I'm not chatting with you guys anymore."
This tall, short-haired girl was none other than Nako, who had just passed the blacksmith exam a couple of days ago, successfully achieved a class leap, and moved into the inner city with her mother.
Na Ke works in the forging area, while her mother works with Xiao Yu in the planting area.
In short, the mother and daughter have integrated into the inner city and always wear happy smiles.
"Do you see the houses and residents here? Do you like it here?"
After greeting Nako, the rabbit-eared girl looked at Aqing and the others and said with a smile, "The people who live here have an inexhaustible water source every day, so they can take a bath every day."
Wash your hands before eating, and flush the toilet after using it...
There are also vegetables from the planting area, which every household can eat every few days.
"Sir, we love it here! But are you suggesting we live here? Absolutely not!" To be honest, Ah Qing fell in love with these square houses with smooth walls the moment she saw them.
Residents come and go from time to time.
Aqing noticed that these people's faces and bodies were all clean.
Their faces were radiant with happiness, smiles that couldn't be hidden.
Looking at myself, my face was pitch black, dry like old tree bark.
Aqing felt that she couldn't even dream of living the lives of these people.
Moreover, she was very clear about her identity.
Her father had told her...
There is no such thing as good without a reason in this world.
Only... baseless evil!
She doesn't entirely believe that the other person will continue to be so kind to her for no reason.
“We are just a bunch of lowly people, we can’t live in this kind of house!” Dongqing waved his hands repeatedly.
The other members of the Luoyan tribe also looked terrified and shook their heads repeatedly.
Such good treatment looks like a last meal before the guillotine.
"Hehe! You're overthinking it!"
Hearing what everyone said, the three beast-eared girls secretly curled up their lips, suppressing their mischievous smiles. The rabbit-eared girl said, "This is the inner city of Dragon City, the place where the real people of Dragon City live."
"You're currently in your probationary period, and the house is in the outer city."
Longcheng was already very familiar with this whole process.
Every batch of newcomers arrives in Longcheng.
They would all be taken to visit the inner city and see the happy life of the people there.
On the one hand, it serves as a warning to the people in the inner city to strive for progress, and especially to never make any fundamental mistakes.
On the other hand, it gives these ordinary people something to look forward to.
Let them see that as long as they work hard, they can live the same happy life as the people in the inner city.
Moreover, this happy life wasn't given away for free.
With that, the rabbit-eared girl led more than two hundred people back the way they came and arrived at the tenement building area.
"I see! Thank you, sir! We understand now!"
After listening to everything the rabbit-eared girl had to say, and seeing the somewhat simple and cramped mud and stone house in front of them, Aqing, Dongqing, and the others felt a great sense of disappointment.
But now I feel much more at ease.
After all, they were just a group of lowly commoners.
They were immediately put in houses that were even better than the city lord's mansion, which made them feel apprehensive and uneasy.
But if it's like this now, then I'm completely at ease.
"Rest assured, sir. Please convey to the city lord that we will definitely do our best to contribute to Dragon City!"
Before the rabbit-eared girl left, Aqing made a respectful promise.
According to the rabbit-eared girl, the people from outside the city are not official residents of Dragon City.
Anyone who makes a mistake could be expelled from Dragon City at any time.
Those living in the outer city wanted to achieve upward social mobility and moved into the inner city.
There are two ways: one is to live in the outer city for a full year and not make any fundamental mistakes during that year.
Secondly, earning 1,000 merit points is equivalent to making a significant contribution to the construction of Dragon City.
Both of these methods are designed for the most ordinary people.
Because an average person's monthly salary is only around 100 merit points.
Simply put, an ordinary person can move into the inner city by working hard in Dragon City for about a year.
But capable people might achieve that in a month or even a day.
As long as one person in a family meets the requirements, the whole family can relocate.
"I've decided, I'm going to look for a job tomorrow!"
Looking at her cramped room of only three or four square meters, Aqing's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
She didn't have a choice before, but now... she's determined to work hard to live a better life!
She also wants to help all her people integrate into Dragon City as soon as possible and move into the inner city together.
With its own plant-based abilities, it shouldn't be too difficult.
