Chapter 101 Class Conflict
The people who are crowded in the two fields are definitely ordinary residents, while those who occupy a large collection area are probably either professional residents or the families of professional residents.
It seems that the conflicts between ordinary residents and professional residents in most city-states cannot be resolved in the short term and can only be eased.
Zhuang Yun listened to the constant scolding and sighed, "With so many people crammed together, it's like they're on the subway. It's understandable that they're making such a fuss."
When you squeeze into the subway, you're just squeezing together. There's no conflict of interest, so just squeeze along.
But this group of people is crowding the food area, with too many people and too little food, so it would be strange if they didn't make a fuss.
Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "With so many talents divided into two fields, what can we gather? Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go into the city and see what it's like here."
Although this city-state also has problems, at least they have provided a solution, even if the solution is not very good.
In this way, the three of them entered the city.
Yuhong City is a second-level city-state, and there are several city-defense cannons on the city walls. It is really rare. You know, you have never seen these in Longjiao City before.
As for the city's protective shield and city-protecting crossbows, it didn't have any, but it was much better than the Longjiao City, whose walls were so worn out that they were bare.
"Fresh Colin lamb~now only 40 copper coins per pound!"
"Thick Colin wool, limited time sale, 32 copper coins per kilogram!"
"Freshly cooked mutton buns, 8 copper coins each, generous filling, thin skin, and stamina booster. Eating them warms you up!"
…
Not to mention that Yuhong City looks very lively, with all kinds of hawking and shouting sounds coming one after another.
However, most of them are related to Colin sheep, just like when colorful spiders were rampant in their city-state, all kinds of supplies and materials related to colorful spiders were sold.
Along the way, they killed at least ten batches of Colin sheep. They didn't need wool, sheepskin, etc. for the time being, but they were very interested in the edible Lu wine.
They walked to the bun stall without hesitation. There were still several people queuing up, and the three of them walked to the end of the line very politely.
Lu Jiu stood in front of her two teammates, and in front of her was a couple who were being affectionate with each other, not caring at all about other people's eyes.
The two of them were being affectionate and whispering in each other's ears, but Lu Jiu couldn't help but concentrate on eavesdropping, trying to see if he could hear any useful information.
But she really heard it.
The woman in the couple mumbled, "I don't know whose bad idea the city lord got. He said he'd give the grain fields to ordinary people to harvest. But they have to hand over all the harvested grain, or they'll be kicked out of the city."
The man lowered his voice and responded, "That's great! More people gathering can help clear the fields faster, so it won't be a waste to keep them there until the next day."
Once upon a time, he and his girlfriend didn't care about food at all, but when it came to winter, the best thing was food that could be stored for a long time and would keep them full.
The woman snorted, "Who knows if those people will actually hand it all over? These ordinary people are all acting the same way these days. They have plenty of food but won't sell any. Are they planning to let it go moldy rather than sell it to us?"
The more she talked about it, the angrier she became. It was as if all the ordinary residents had colluded and not sold any food. Moreover, no one wanted to be the first to sell food. So far, no one had stepped forward to be the first to sell food.
The man comforted his girlfriend's shoulders and said, "Your parents have saved a lot, and so do my parents. Don't worry."
The woman seemed to have just remembered that her family members were ordinary people, and her expression was a little embarrassed, but it quickly disappeared.
But she just couldn't stand ordinary people other than those she was familiar with. "If the beast tide comes, I must find a way to get a professional card if there's a bright spot afterwards..."
Lu Jiu couldn't hear the rest of the conversation clearly. The people queuing at the front seemed to be together. They bought something and left in a row. The couple also stopped chatting and walked forward.
After that, the voices became even quieter, and Lu Jiu was too lazy to concentrate on listening.
After listening to this, she turned around and whispered to her two teammates, "It seems that many professional residents of the city-state have strong opinions about ordinary residents, and this place is no exception."
Although ordinary residents are in the majority, they are still at a disadvantage. They are unable to kill wild monsters to obtain good resources, and they cannot defeat residents who have started their professions.
Shen Jufeng: "That's not surprising." He looked up and saw that the team had moved forward again, and reminded: "We are almost there, let's move forward."
Lu Jiu turned around and caught up with the queue, while Zhuang Yun was once again thankful that he was staying in Xuantian City, where ordinary residents could live well.
After that, the sales speed was very fast. The couple in front of Lu Jiu was holding buns and discussing about collecting food, and Lu Jiu also got the mutton buns he wanted to eat.
The mutton buns were exactly as the store owner said, with lots of filling, thin skin and large size. They were hot and fresh when you took a bite, making Lu Jiu feel a little messy, but they were really delicious.
Although 8 copper coins each is a bit expensive, I felt it was worth it after I got it.
There are many people on the streets of the city now, and the three people from outside the city are not conspicuous.
*
Zhuang Yun is not yet a permanent resident of Xuantian City, so he cannot stay in the temporary residence in Yuhong City this time.
The three of them came to the restaurant here. There was no one in the restaurant at this time. Lu Jiu glanced at the menu and thought to himself, no wonder there was no one, there were not many decent dishes.
Could it be that the mayor of Yuhong City is so stingy that he is reluctant to give the meat he gets from hunting to the restaurant?
Lu Jiu flipped the single-sheet menu over and over. "Just order a few random items. I think this NPC has low-level talents. Just treat it as a place to talk business."
Zhuang Yun nodded and said, "Well, I'm not hungry anyway, so I'll just order one." He was still worried that the food here wouldn't taste good and it would be a waste if he couldn't finish it.
Shen Jufeng: "I can do anything."
Lu Jiu ordered one dish. The NPC in the store collected the money with an expressionless face, and then the dish was brought to her after a while. It was a simple stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes.
The three of them ate their food intermittently.
Lu Jiu was a little confused while eating. "What are we mainly here to find out about this time? It seems to be the conflict between ordinary residents and professional residents."
The original intention of coming here was to take a look outside before winter.
Zhuang Yun shrugged indifferently, "I don't know either, anyway, I'm just going out to farm the jungle." He just wanted to follow the boss.
Shen Jufeng put down his chopsticks and said, "Just treat it as a trip. It's just my old habit. I always want to understand current affairs."
As he was managing such a large company before the end of the world, he must have been aware of information from all aspects of society.
Of course, he still needs to understand that he is the management of Xuantian City after all. He currently feels that when necessary, he can absorb the residents of Jinghe District to Xuantian City to expand the population.
But I can’t say this in front of Zhuang Yun for the time being.
Zhuang Yun knew Shen Jufeng's identity before the end of the world, "Actually, I'm also quite curious about how bad the conflict here is."
Thinking of those people outside the city who were arguing in a limited area, both men and women were gossipy.
Lu Jiu bit his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "It's still a class conflict. It's similar to the conflict between the rich and the poor before the end of the world, but it's more cruel now. Unless you start a career, there's no way to turn things around."
Even if you have a good-grade weapon, if its attributes are not good and you haven't activated the physical fitness enhancement of your profession, you still can't defeat high-level monsters.
