"It smells so good!" Yin Zhu couldn't help but exclaim.
It has a sweet floral scent, but Yin Zhu couldn't tell which plant it came from, since she wasn't a professional.
“It’s close to the greenhouse, so there will be a strong floral scent here.” Flying Fish, whose ID number is C-01-3656, nodded without saying much. After all, they had already discussed the planning of the inner city area before they came in.
Through the glass of the greenhouse, Yin Zhu could easily see a worker supervising the robot's work. Next to it, dense data was faintly visible on the glass wall of the greenhouse, with numbers constantly scrolling from top to bottom, seemingly monitoring the temperature and moisture of the entire greenhouse. At first glance, it looked as if a digital water curtain was flowing through the glass.
The inner city is very large, and as senior citizens, they often do not need to live in such crowded places, and there are more areas with different functions.
If the vast majority of lower-class citizens in the outer city area spend their leisure time in bars and gambling, then there are many more things to do in the inner city area.
Before she had walked for more than ten minutes, Yin Zhu saw several flying cars streak across the sky, performing a beautiful aerial drift. The exhaust fumes from the cars were all different colors, each so vibrant that it seemed like too much artificial coloring had been added.
Those flying cars drove very recklessly and were not stable at all, completely different from the rented spaceships in the outer city.
Yin Zhu put herself in the shoes of the driver. If she were sitting in one of those flying cars right now, given the intensity of the aerial dance and the driving skills, she had no doubt that her brain would be shaken to pieces.
It was daytime, the light was excellent, and the visibility was quite far, so Yin Zhu and the others could easily see the city in the inner city not far away. It was brightly lit, and it seemed that the people in the inner city had no concept of saving electricity and kept their lights on all day long.
"I'm so envious," even the worm couldn't help but sigh. "Electricity is quite expensive in the outer city."
"No wonder there's no electricity in the apartment."
Yin Zhu is referring to apartments for the poor, not even luxury apartments with AI butlers.
The buildings in the inner city were significantly more exquisite than those in the outer city, and they were also very technologically advanced, seemingly constructed from some kind of silvery-white metal. The streamlined architecture was so beautiful that Yin Zhu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although the inner and outer city areas are very close, they seem worlds apart. No wonder most people in the outer city area are desperate to get in.
Robots of all kinds can be seen everywhere here: some are cleaning, some are patrolling, some are repairing roads... and some robots have other jobs. They all perform their duties, follow their own programs and rules, and ignore the passing team.
After entering the inner city, some original inhabitants began to appear.
They didn't seem as busy as people in the outer city; instead, they seemed to live a leisurely life—and their status and position supported this.
In the city of Vina, higher-class citizens are naturally entitled to a better life than lower-class citizens.
These high-ranking citizens did not necessarily climb to their positions through their own efforts; more often, they were born into the families of the gods or were themselves descendants of the gods. Therefore, being able to live smoothly in the inner city of Viña City can be described as being born at the final destination.
Although they also have animal parts in their bodies, not every race is considered a family.
The bunny-eared girl, previously called Jiaojiao by the worms, was now hiding in the vehicle the group was transporting. Although Yin Zhu didn't know what she wanted to do, given Jiaojiao's frail little body, she had virtually no chance of winning anything.
However, Yin Zhu wasn't familiar with them and had no desire to speak directly.
However, judging from her phone number alone, she is probably not a simple person. No wonder the rebel organization would create opportunities for her and find a group of people to act with her.
Yin Zhu was too embarrassed to ask too many questions, lest they mistake it for them trying to find out the details of the rebel organization, which could easily cause them to resent her.
The team encountered a questioning incident along the way, but was quickly released.
It has to be said that the inner city is simply the fairyland that Yin Zhu saw when she was on Blue Star. Everywhere you can see the perfect combination of nature and steel creations. It does not have the desolate and impoverished atmosphere of the outer city, which only has steel and hardly any grass.
“In the slums, it’s all dry grass; I’ve never seen such a continuous lawn,” Jennifer remarked with a touch of emotion.
"To be honest, it looks a bit strange that the temple is built with steel..." Hirano San was referring to a Buddhist or Taoist building. Although it had the structure of ancient Chinese architecture, it was made of pure metal, and the red metal roof even reflected light.
"It's definitely not as nice as the wooden one."
Yin Zhu nodded. Most of the ancient buildings on the Eastern Continent were made of wood, while those on the Western Continent were mostly made of stone. Steel buildings only appeared in modern times.
"Actually, we could make it look like wood, spraying on a wood grain pattern would look even better, right?" Hirano Shan and Yin Zhu whispered to each other.
The worm walking ahead was somewhat surprised: "Do you undocumented immigrants have any knowledge of architecture?" He had initially assumed that Yin Zhu and the others were outsiders who had smuggled themselves from the slums, so in his understanding, Yin Zhu and the others shouldn't have this level of intelligence.
"Yes, I saw it when I went to the library." Yin Zhu straightened her chest and raised her head, saying half true and half false, although most of it was a lie to bluff: "I have a photographic memory when it comes to learning, I can learn something just by looking at it."
"There really is such a genius?" Xiong Da was shocked.
"If the gods knew, they would probably be happy to let you be one of their kin."
Flying Fish simply chuckled.
"Tch, I don't care." Yin Zhu scoffed, taking advantage of the worm's ability to block the eavesdropping functions of the benevolent spirit official and the surrounding machinery, and directly stated her attitude.
But before they could answer, Yin Zhu asked again:
"Speaking of which, Flying Fish's number is quite early in the alphabet. Were you also from the inner city before?"
"……yes."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, we're almost at the fountain." The worm interrupted their conversation. "After we drop Jiaojiao off here, Xiongda can stay here and we can go back the way we came."
"And what about the other two?"
Yin Zhu refers to Fei Yu and Xiao Qiang, who didn't utter a single word along the way.
The latter appeared right behind Xiong Da from the start, completely obscuring him, almost making Yin Zhu think there were only three people outside. He continued to advance with the team without saying a word; if he hadn't mentioned his name, Yin Zhu would have thought he was mute.
Xiao Qiang calmly looked at Yin Zhu, then at Fei Yu.
It seems to be waiting for the flying fish to speak.
Judging from their interactions, Yin Zhu vaguely sensed that the two were not equals, but rather had a master-servant relationship.
This is getting interesting.
