Chapter 267 The Arrival of the Gods



The inner city is mainly a place for high-class citizens to eat, drink, and have fun, but there is also a small area for lower-class citizens who come from the outer city to work, which is the service center.

In addition, there are some "jobs" that are more inclined to cultivate one's character, such as the greenhouse that Yin Zhu and others saw when they first arrived.

The lower-class citizens of the outer city are busy with work, and the environment has very little real greenery, so this greenhouse is naturally not for their use, but for the use of the higher-class citizens of the inner city.

This is a very extravagant thing.

While people in the outer city were still gnawing on food made of insect protein, people in the inner city would have a bouquet of fresh, delicate flowers placed on their table when they ate.

While people in the outer city smell the unpleasant odor of coal dust mixed with the strong smell of sweat, people in the inner city need to use cosmetics and perfumes made from flowers to make the surrounding smell more to their liking.

While people in the outer city were inspired by the sight of a small yellow flower growing in a crack, feeling a sense of life and hope, the people in the inner city had already plucked all the petals from a bunch of flowers, thrown them into their bathtubs, and were enjoying a petal bath. They then mixed these petals into the sewage system and discharged them outside the city, leaving only a pile of filth and withered, broken petals.

There are many areas like the greenhouse, and they are all located closer to the outer city, so they won't be in the sight of senior citizens.

As for the transportation of goods, this is generally carried out by androids manufactured by the company. Although robots can also do the job, punishing an emotionless robot would be pointless if something goes wrong. This is where androids with emotions, perception, and the ability to think come in handy.

As mentioned earlier, there is a bloody arena in the inner city. If anything goes wrong at work, the androids with no parents or connections will, like the lowly citizens who come for money, risk their lives to make the big shots laugh.

Besides the places mentioned above, the most unique area in the inner city is the sacrificial area.

To be precise, it's called the "Altar of the Gods".

This place was mentioned in the rules for the inner city:

When a family has a stable residence in the inner city and more than three members, one member will develop a special symbol representing a deity. Accept this situation and have that member go to the altar of the gods for baptism as a divine servant.

According to Flying Fish, this symbol isn't actually that mysterious.

To put it simply, everyone who settles in the inner city needs to register with Eve, and a page of data will be generated after the residence is registered.

The gods have the highest authority and can access this information on their own. Once they discover that you have too many family members, they will randomly select a family member from the screen to serve as a divine servant.

As for whether this symbol was secretly imprinted by a nanobot that sneaked over a wall in the middle of the night, or whether it's some god's superpower of tattooing from a distance, that's unclear.

Yin Zhu was heading to the Altar of the Gods.

“It’s not a question of whether you can do it or not, it’s that you don’t understand the inner city at all.” The worm stopped Yin Zhu with a headache. “To get there, you have to go through the central area. In other words, the altar is the very center of the central area. Even B-level citizens are rarely allowed to get close, let alone other lower-level citizens.”

"I have a way." Yin Zhu wasn't in a hurry. She just sat on the stool with a calm expression, looked up at the two people, and Xiao Qiang standing silently behind them.

"Let her go if she wants to. She's not part of the organization anyway," Fei Yu muttered quietly from the side.

From Feiyu's perspective, since things have come to this point and Yin Zhu hasn't given in, there's no need to stop her.

Who knows what illness this lowly citizen has? Although he was lucky enough to inherit Mary's family fortune, his mind is really not clear.

Hirano San and Jennifer also arrived. After a brief discussion, the two women readily agreed to go with Yin Zhu.

Jennifer didn't really trust Yin Zhu's abilities, but for some reason, she just felt that people Hirano Sane trusted must be safe, so it was safer to follow them.

The Chosen One from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom smiled sweetly behind her, even his pupils turning a sweet pink.

Since Hirano Sane explicitly told Yin Zhu about it last time, Yin Zhu has basically stopped communicating with her much, especially about tactics. Since everyone's strategic goals are aligned, too much tactical discussion is bound to lead to oversights, so it's better to keep quiet.

The group quickly ended their discussion and decided to go their separate ways.

When Yin Zhu went downstairs to check out, she noticed that the butcher shop had a new owner, a woman with pig ears and a pig nose. If Yin Zhu were to give an analogy, it would be like seeing a real-life version of Princess Fei Fei from the movie "Pig Warrior".

However, the scene of selling human flesh with a pig's head has a dramatic twist, reminiscent of a situational reversal.

Since the car belonged to the resistance organization, it meant that Yin Zhu and the others would need to find their own means of transportation if they wanted to leave.

Yin Zhu noticed this yesterday when she went out. The shops downstairs all have vehicles to pick up their goods, so all she has to do is smile at any of the shop owners and have Hirano Shan have a good chat with them...

"The gods have arrived! Mortals, kneel in worship!"

A sharp voice interrupted Yin Zhu's thoughts, and then Yin Zhu saw a luxurious aircraft flying from the horizon toward the primary citizen service center.

This aircraft resembles a luxury car on Earth, with a beautiful streamlined exterior and a flowing purple-blue technological glow. However, it has no wheels, and its length alone looks to be about ten meters. Who knows, there might even be rooms like a bathroom, a dining room, and a bedroom inside.

Speaking of using the toilet in this kind of vehicle, will it be like on an airplane, with divine excrement suddenly appearing? Or does the god of the One Star not defecate at all?

Yin Zhu wanted to look again, but Hirano Shan pulled her back, saying, "Don't look anymore."

However, it was too late for them to leave. The other indigenous people, like fools, all rushed out, pushing and shoving each other, as if they all wanted to be chosen by the gods and taken away.

Sweeping forward with the crowd, Yin Zhu smelled the "smell of rotting souls" that Xiao Qiang had mentioned for the first time.

It's hard to describe, and it smells terrible.

It was like canned herring that had been spoiled for three days, then mixed with vinegar and fermented soybean juice; the smell was so strong it was almost unbearable.

Yin Zhu frowned and lowered her head like the infected people around her, not daring to "look directly at the gods" for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, the infected were focused on the approaching deity and no one paid any attention to the reactions of Yin Zhu and the other two.

Upon hearing the noise, the three Flying Fish who had come out saw what was happening. Among them, Worm slammed his fist hard on the door frame.

hateful.

The gods have arrived.

This is going to be a problem.
