The auction was a huge success, and Qin Yiyi earned a considerable sum in one night. She decided to go on a shopping spree in Eternal City, focusing primarily on food. Rice, flour, and cooking oil were the most basic necessities, and with money, she naturally bought as much as she could. Seeds were another priority. Unlike other cities where seed purchases were limited or the types of seeds were restricted, Eternal City allowed for unlimited purchases. Furthermore, she had a token in Eternal City, which offered her a discount, and the seeds could be delivered directly to nearby cities by the Sky City's aerial train!
However, now that she has money, she naturally upgrades her equipment. First, she gets herself a spatial ring, and then she gets herself a set of equipment with attributes. Although her attack power is now good and she is no longer fragile, it still hurts a lot when she gets hit!
She specifically sought out an equipment shop to equip herself with exquisite armor and gauntlets.
"There's a cake shop up ahead!" The tentacle monster stopped moving.
Qin Yiyi looked at the things hanging on the tentacle monster's body, waved her hand, and the things went into her spatial ring. Then she gave the tentacle monster a small bag of gold coins.
"Take it and play with it!"
The tentacle monster grabbed the gold coins and disappeared.
Hey, that's pretty fast.
The four pillar cities of the empire are truly replicas of the future world. Chaos City and Stormwind City are not even worthy of carrying their shoes. Within this Eternal City, there are independent transparent tracks in the sky, with trains soaring from underground into the air. The skyscrapers are all over 88 stories high. Not only are there roads underground, but there are also roads on the top floor, and you can even get out from the middle floors. It's incredibly magical!
The fact that such a tall building could be built in the Eternal City means that no matter what kind of yellow sand, alien species, or mental mutations, they will never come here. Mental detectors can be seen everywhere here, with one installed every few hundred meters, constantly monitoring people with mental disturbances. If there is even the slightest sign, the guard elves flying overhead will fly down, grow larger, and drag the person away.
Qin Yiyi originally thought that all elves were humanoid with pointed ears, as handsome as in the movies, and had extremely long lifespans, shooting arrows with perfect accuracy. It wasn't until she actually arrived in the Eternal City, the city of elves, that she discovered that elves came in all sorts of forms. First, there were the common humanoid elves, then there were flower elves whose bodies could freely change size, and then there were duty elves. However, the world of elves also had its own small society. Half-elves were elves born from the union of humans and elves, and were considered unfinished products.
Semi-finished products are substandard products.
She remembered that Lilith's butler, Xichuan, was a half-elf. No wonder... Elves generally don't leave the Eternal City because they look down on cities other than the four major ones. The few half-elves who do leave the city do so because they are oppressed within it.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Half-elves do not possess the physical beauty of true elves, nor are they skilled in any of the elven specialties. While elves excel in elegant carving, cultivating green plants and flowers, and growing crops, the half-elf Xichuan is adept at business.
In fact, everyone has their strengths, which is perfectly normal for both humans and orcs. The dragon has nine sons, and each of them is different! However, in the world of elves, if someone is only half-finished, they will be discriminated against. If someone doesn't know how to cultivate flowers and plants, grow crops, or carve, they will be discriminated against even more.
Bang~
A clod of dirt was thrown at the half-elf's head.
"You can't even do this simple thing right, you're such a useless half-elf!"
The Eternal City is not only called the City of Elves, but also the City of Forests. Everywhere is entwined with vines and flowers, beautifully manicured, which can make people feel happy at first sight. There are many flower shops in the whole city.
Qin Yiyi looked at the flower shop in front of her. One pot of flowers was in full bloom, while the other had already withered.
"Boss, that good one is the one I grew!"
"You're talking nonsense! These were planted by my son! How could a half-elf like you possibly grow flowers so well? Don't spout nonsense!"
The half-elf brushed the dirt off his head.
Pointing to the flowers in front of him, he said, "My name is written on these pots; they are indeed flowers I planted!"
"You planted this? Everyone come and see, this half-elf who's a complete liar. If you could really grow flowers like this, would you have been kicked out of so many shops? This pot has your name on it, why didn't you change the pot?"
"Half-elves like you shouldn't live in our Eternal City. Elves should unite with other elves. What kind of offspring can humans and elves produce!"
People from other nearby shops also came out to watch the spectacle.
"That's right, children born to humans and elves are considered unlucky! That's why his father abandoned him, leaving his mother, an elf, to be abandoned by her family and now she's sick and bedridden!"
The one being mocked was a half-elf girl. She was holding her flowers and preparing to leave. People wouldn't believe that a half-elf's planting skills were better than an elf's, and because they didn't want to believe it, they rejected her even more and drove her away.
"Put those things down!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, I planted this flower. Not only is my name on the pot, but it's also on the flowers. You can come and see for yourself. This isn't a flower your son planted!"
"You can't put me down just because my flowers are better than your son's! You won't admit that your son's orchid is withered like this! You have time to criticize the half-elf's planting skills, but I think you should spend more time teaching your son!"
*Slap!* The little girl was slapped.
"You ungrateful thing, born of a mother but not taught by one!"
*Smack!* The woman's face was smeared with cake.
The cake was smeared straight onto her face by tentacles, and several tentacles even smeared the cake from the woman's face onto her hair.
Qin Yiyi looked at the tentacle monster next to her, who was staring blankly as her cake flew away.
[How outrageous! There is never discrimination among tentacles!]
There is no discrimination within our territory!
[Racism, regional discrimination—where does this sense of superiority come from?]
You can dislike someone's character or morals, but it's wrong to discriminate against them for no reason! We deep-sea fish never discriminate against freshwater fish!
【No, we don't seem to belong to the deep-sea fish category, do we?】
[If we can reach 20,000 leagues below the ocean floor, aren't we considered deep-sea fish? Then are we fish of the very deep sea?]
No, I mean we're not fish!
No, we are fish! We are tentacle fish!
What is a tentacle fish?
[Ah! I'll give that woman a good beating, no matter what kind of fish it is!]
This time, it wasn't Qin Yiyi who made the move, nor was it the tentacle monster that stood there dumbfounded watching its cake fly into someone else's face; it was these little tentacles that made the move.
Forehead.....
That thing,
The tentacle monster stepped forward and reached out its hand to the aunt who had just been beaten up.
"You wasted my cake, which cost one gold coin. You have to pay me back!"
