Elder Ancestor Bai walked out of the construction command office and walked on the wide road of Morality City.
Once he started on the road, he noticed the difference between it and a normal city.
The road had three levels.
The first level was filled with strolling pedestrians, the second level was filled with rushing vehicles, and the third level was more spacious. Occasionally, there would be ambulances passing by quickly.
It seemed like a waste of space.
'How extravagant …' Elder Ancestor Bai shook his head as he thought of his Underground Kingdom, which was far from this.
The Underground Kingdom had three levels, and the streets on each level were narrower.
After all, he had to consider the cost. Could digging a road in the underground rock layer be as difficult as paving a road above ground?
If it were not for the demon rats as unpaid labor, no organization on Earth would be able to build such a huge underground city.
He used to be proud of it, but now that he saw the Morality City that was still under construction, he could not help but sigh.
People were different from each other.
Countries were even more different from each other.
Just like China and America, the latter was truly "vast and abundant". The former would not suffer from famine for a few decades, while the latter could not even finish eating meat since a long time ago.
Not only was it the largest developed country, but it was also the largest food exporter.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the Era of Vitality, that place seemed to be unable to keep up. However, he believed that the white people who looked down on people of color would not tolerate such a situation for long.
He continued to walk slowly on the road.
Rare and precious trees were planted on both sides of the road, emitting bursts of fragrance. The lush greenery, coupled with the suitable temperature, gave people a very comfortable feeling.
It was the beginning of spring in February. Most of China was still cold and bleak, and the fields were yellow and withered.
The shadows of the green trees on the side of the road were projected onto the road, separated by the three-level viaduct.
'Where did the sunlight come from?'
With a hint of curiosity, he looked up at the sky.
There was no sun in the sky …
But the sunlight shone down from above.
'Oh, this is the wonder of arcane realms. They seem to be independent of the external space, but in fact, they are closely connected.
If the main world is a big tree, then the arcane realm is the branch on it.
The sunlight and rain from the external world can enter and exit without any hindrance. It was amazing, just like how the tree instilled nutrients into its branches.
'I really envy that old Bodhisattva. He easily obtained a Demonic Arcane Realm with Vigilante A, which is better than me working hard underground for 20 years.
'People are indeed different.'
As he pondered, Elder Ancestor Bai continued walking forward.
Shops began to appear on both sides of the road. They were well-stocked, exquisitely decorated, and very clean.
Everyone who went in and out of the store had a smile on their faces.
This was very normal, and it was almost the same outside.
However, when he walked into a shop to take a look, he found something different.
It turned out that there were no clerks here. Everything was self-service. You could choose something from the shelves and pay for it at the counter.
How was this possible? Aren't you afraid that someone will steal it?
'Could it be that this Morality City is really like what my son said, where everyone is righteous, so it's impossible for thieves to exist?'
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a voice sounded.
"Xiao Zhi, how can you just take things from the store? This is wrong. "
A little boy in a red shirt hid a red transformer in his arms and followed his mother out of the store.
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded slightly. That was more like it. If no one was watching, someone would definitely try to take it away. Adults might be able to control themselves, but children would not care so much.
"Mom, I want this toy."
"You already have enough toys, you can't buy any more." The boy's mother took the transformer back and put it on the shelf.
"No, I want it, I want it." The child laid on the ground and began to cry loudly.
The people around them looked at him curiously, but did not go forward to help him. They continued to choose their goods, pay for it, and leave.
The mother only smiled and did not help the child up. Instead, she said to the others, "It's okay, let him cry for a while."
Then, she said to the little boy kindly, "Xiao Zhi, don't disturb the other uncles and aunties. Go cry in the corner by yourself …"
When the little boy heard that, he stood up obediently and ran to the corner and began to cry. It seemed like he had developed this habit at home.
Then, the mother watched him from the side.
When Elder Ancestor Bai saw this, he frowned slightly.
From this small matter, he could see the difference between his Greater Rat Clan and the people here.
'If a mouse is disobedient, can't we just beat it up?' Who would have the patience to educate him like this?
He walked around the supermarket and found that there were plenty of resources.
Everything that could be found outside could be found here. Even the payment method was similar, which was to swipe a code through the phone.
He was familiar with this method, so he was not surprised. In fact, the people in the Underground Kingdom were even more advanced than the people here.
Greater Rats were demons, and demons had demonic energy. Every demon was different. There was a kind of magic tool that could determine the true identity of a demon. It could be used to determine the true identity of a demon and then link it to its bank account.
Although there were occasional loopholes, for example, some powerful demons would use magic to impersonate other people's demonic energy and use other people's bank cards to pay for themselves …
However, it was not a big problem. Humans' bank cards could still be stolen, so it could not be done perfectly.
At least for now, each demon had their own account, and all income and expenditure went through it. It was extremely convenient to manage, and if there was any abnormal movement of funds, they would know at once.
Now that he thought about it, it was time to issue a special currency for the Greater Rats.
There was a saying that using another country's currency was equivalent to paying taxes to another country.
Elder Ancestor Bai listened to the child's crying next to him. Suddenly, a white hamster toy came into his sight.
He thought for a while, then reached out his hand and the toy fell into his hand.
When he came to a self-service counter, he realized that he did not bring his phone.
If there was a shop assistant, he would take out a piece of gold to pay the bill.
But now?
Looking around, he did not know when the customers in the shop had left, but the woman who was still looking at the child was the only one left.
The woman seemed to be unusual as well. She felt a gaze on her, so she looked up and saw the short and skinny old man hesitating at the counter.
She glanced at the child, then walked over and said gently, "Old sir, did you forget to bring your phone?"
"Oh, yes, I'm old, and my memory is bad." Elder Ancestor Bai nodded. "Can you help me? Take this small piece of gold as my thanks. "
After saying that, he took out a piece of gold.
"No, it's okay. Everyone forgets when they're outside. I used to forget to bring change when I took public transportation, but I've met many kind people who helped me pay for it." The mother looked at the hamster toy in his hand, then took out her phone and scanned the QR code on it, and the price appeared.
Then, she scanned the QR code on the counter, entered the price skillfully, and paid for it.
"Thank you, there are still many good people in this world." Elder Ancestor Bai sighed.
"Old sir, there are still many good people, right?" The mother smiled and corrected him.
"Yes, yes, there are still many good people." Elder Ancestor Bai smiled and kept the gold. He did not force the mother to accept it, then turned around and walked out of the shop.
"What an interesting old man … Little Zhi, don't cry, hurry up and come home with me! If you cry again, I'll break your legs! " The gentle mother watched the old man leave, and when she saw that there was no one else around, she immediately shouted at the crying child in the corner.
"Sob sob, I don't want to break my legs …" The wronged little boy stood up and followed behind his mother obediently.
"That's more like it. Do you think it's easy for me to raise you alone? That heartless one stays at the construction site every day, and doesn't even come home … "The gentle mother's persona was thrown away, replaced by a middle-aged woman who was full of anger.
Elder Ancestor Bai, who walked out of the shop, naturally heard everything that happened after that.
'That's right, how can a child be so obedient? It's not like I've never raised children before, and I've had more than ten of them … Hmph.
