Chapter 663: Fairy Punk

Li Qi was puzzled.

A world that encourages competition, encourages fighting, and puts combat power at the most important position, would actually be self-contained, and even in order to cut off contact with the outside world, directly cleared everything within 6 billion light years, creating a huge extraterritorial void to prevent anyone from finding Xiantian.

Shouldn't we rush out and sweep the world? This is a first-class world.

Contradiction, such a contradiction.

There is not enough information. Only contacting such a small part of the mortal world cannot really touch the full picture of Xiantian. It is better to go to the city first, maybe there will be more clues in the city.

Get clues in the city, then go to the real world, and finally contact Xiantian, which is the top level.

Li Qi has already arranged it.

So, he said to Juye: "The scenery outside the city is similar, nothing special, let's go into the city to take a look."

"This..." Juye hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, please follow me."

Li Qi knew why he hesitated, because the cost of two people going into the city was enough to bankrupt him.

But Li Qi said nothing, anyway, let's go into the city first.

In the end, Juye still resigned herself to her fate, paid the money, and received the sign representing the qualification to enter the city, one for each person, and brought Li Qi to Bailu City.

"My lord... I have never been to this city, so I am afraid I can't be your guide." Juye said before entering.

"It doesn't matter. It's good to take a look together. You can introduce me to some local products. You should know them all, right?" Li Qi said.

"I do know a lot, but I am afraid I can't afford them." Juye smiled bitterly and prepared for Li Qi in advance.

"Just take a look, there is no need to buy." Li Qi smiled and walked forward with Juye.

Entering Bailu City, you can clearly feel a huge difference.

The city is clean and tidy, full of upper-class atmosphere, and a large number of well-dressed people ride majestic spirit beasts. Every intersection has clear signs and elegant decorations, and even the air has a faint scent of perfume. Armed guards patrol the streets to keep it safe at all times.

Here, the number of magic weapons has greatly increased. Of course, it is not as good as humane cities, but it also has a unique flavor.

However... Li Qi noticed that under this beautiful appearance, there are a lot of homeless people hiding in the street corners and even in the deeper alleys.

Well, they should have caused trouble outside and used all their savings to hide from their enemies.

But the prices here are extremely high, and they don’t have enough money to live. They can only wander here and dare not go out.

This situation obviously gave birth to a large number of "slaves". Li Qi can see that almost every big man who can really live here is surrounded by a large number of slaves.

After all, even if it is a ninth-grade, it is actually not fasting, and it also needs to eat, otherwise it will starve to death.

The ninth-grade with poor combat power, who has just broken through, or hiding from enemies, so that they can’t get more money, and those practitioners who are not in the grade, their only way to survive is to be dogs for powerful big men.

In this way, they can still make a living.

Li Qi nodded lightly. This is indeed in line with his impression, and it can also explain why the city does not expel these people.

This is for a sense of superiority.

The sense of superiority is compared.

If all the people in the city are big shots, then no one is a big shot, and the physical sense will be very poor.

Therefore, the Lord of Bailu City cleverly took advantage of this point, extorting all the money of those who came to take refuge, and letting them come in again, becoming the source of the big shots' sense of superiority, and even exploiting their labor, forcing them to provide cheap manpower and services for the big shots, forming the upper and lower classes of this city.

While watching these, Li Qi continued to tour the Bailu City, which covers an area of ​​2,000 miles.

This tour took three full days, and Li Qi walked around the city without sleep for three days.

He came to the upper class of the city, where the big shots often came.

This place is really clean and tidy, and the people who come and go, even slaves, look decent.

There are brothels here, and the skilled artists inside sing, dance, and play musical instruments at a very good level, pleasing the nobles.

There are also luxurious restaurants with various delicacies, but Li Qi didn't have enough time, so he just looked at it and didn't go in to taste it.

There are also various magic weapons, clothes, and even some rare and precious goods, which are also very good.

In general, for the upper class, although life in Bailu City is a bit expensive, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, which is enough to be called value for money.

Because Li Qi has learned that in the mortal world of Xiantian, most of them are wilderness, and there are rarely such prosperous urban gathering places.

To maintain a city, the cost is extremely high, and a large number of masters are needed to maintain order, otherwise it is easy to be targeted by robbers who are eyeing it.

This is a big piece of fat meat, so naturally there will be many people eyeing it. It can only be said that the Lord of Bailu City is very strong, so strong that ordinary opponents dare not covet it, which can maintain the existence of Bailu City.

After looking at the upper level, Li Qi went to observe the lower level.

The lower level is just as Li Qi imagined.

This is basically a slum.

This place is no longer bright and glamorous, broken, scattered, and chaotic in the twisting alleys of the entire slum.

In this place, there are a lot of desperate people. If they are not desperate people, they will be soon.

The rules of Bailu City do not allow murders to happen here, but the control of this place is not so strict, so anyone is willing to work hard for the next meal.

How to say life here... It is quite exciting. It is absolutely impossible for people living in it to be bored, but it is likely to be short-lived, and few people can live here for a long time.

Either they are oppressed to death, or they can't stand it and escape from the city, or they climb up the branches and become slaves or thugs of big people outside.

There are many reasons for falling to this point. It may be that they are defeated by their enemies, or they may be exhausted, or they are cheated of all their money, but no matter what, they are penniless at the moment.

There is almost no way to survive here, so as long as they can survive, people here will do anything.

Stealing, robbery, cheating, anything is fine, even working for others.

When Li Qi was traveling here, he was robbed, but Li Qi slapped him away. Ju Ye was shocked again, and Li Qi also gained a certain degree of reputation, so that some scoundrels dared not approach casually.

After all, this kind of place must be well-informed.

In addition, Li Qi also found that some big figures also visited the lower area. They would not come in person, but Li Qi witnessed many lackeys of big figures. They came here to recruit a group of low-level thugs, or some suicidal assassins who wanted money but not life.

However, there is not no order here. In fact, gangs and sects rule this area, and there are also strong people among them, but these strong people do not live here usually.

These strong people rule the lower area, but they themselves live in the bright and beautiful upper level.

After traveling to the upper and lower levels, Li Qi understood what the so-called Bailu City is like.

This is his grandma...

Xianxia Cyberpunk?

The upper and lower classes are clearly divided. The upper class controls everything. On the surface, they seem powerful and elegant, with a rich life, full of sunshine, and even have the opportunity to achieve immortality.

The lower class exists purely as a vassal of the upper class. They are not even "oppressed" because the upper class does not need them at all. The powerful practitioners can completely sweep them out. After all, their only role for the big guys is to run errands or gain a sense of superiority from them.

The upper and lower classes have been unequal since the beginning. This inequality is not caused by oppression and exploitation, but by the disparity in power between the two sides.

For practitioners, equality is only based on strength and productivity. The eighth grade is superior to the ninth grade and the non-grade. The gap is extremely huge. The lower class can only become a vassal, and they have to take the initiative to stick to it, otherwise they will kick you and you can only cry.

This is not the difference between a boss and an employee. If all the employees leave together, the boss can only cry without tears, because the boss actually relies on employees to maintain the company.

This is the difference between the small fish and shrimps around the dragon. The dragon will still be fine without the fish and shrimps, but the dragon will die without the fish and shrimps.

Therefore, even if the dragons often eat and occasionally kill a few groups without paying attention, they dare not have any opinions, and they have to rush up in groups, wishing to be closer.

This is a completely different kind of dependent relationship.

Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly noticed that the chrysanthemum leaves next to him seemed a little wilted.

Hmm? What's the matter?

However, Li Qi glanced at it and immediately understood.

He was almost exhausted after not sleeping or eating for three days and accompanying Li Qi everywhere.

Oh, he just broke through to the ninth level, without fasting, and even without the ninth-level Taoist golden elixir to boost his breath, so he naturally couldn't last long.

But he still didn't raise any objections, obviously this is how the world is.

So, Li Qi patted him, injected a little vitality into him, temporarily boosted his breath, and said: "Let's go, find a place to eat, let's go to that restaurant."

Li Qi pointed to a magnificent restaurant in the upper area, which was six hundred feet high and covered an area of ​​four or five miles. Li Qi had observed before that there were all kinds of exotic beasts, beautiful girls, and musicians in it, which was very luxurious.

Seeing where Li Qi pointed, Juye swallowed and said nervously: "Sir... I, I have no money."

"Okay, I'll treat you, let's go." Li Qi smiled and led the way.

Juye suddenly felt at this moment...

His body seemed to be healing.

Although he was still very hungry, he felt more energetic.

Was it the pat just now?

Juye touched his shoulder.

Such a strong vitality.

He was happy.

Maybe this is the first step for the other party to trust him? Then he might really survive!

He still thought that he might be abandoned, after all... the strong people in this world are really not easy to get along with.

And now that the other party is willing to say so, and even willing to heal himself, can he really be a dog for the other party?

Juye didn't think there was anything unbearable about this.

It is the greatest honor to be a dog for a powerful person, unlike some wild dogs, who run around without knowing who their owner is, and can only snatch food on the ground and fight each other.

Dogs with owners don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Besides... the other party had promised to save his senior sister, maybe he would really fulfill his promise?

Right?

Juye thought so, but when he looked up, Li Qi was almost gone.

He hurriedly chased after him and caught up with Li Qi's pace.

Li Qi, on the other hand, entered the restaurant.

"Bring one portion of your signature dishes, the ones that are good." Li Qi walked in, found a table and sat down, saying so.

The waiter was slightly surprised, because few people would order dishes like this.

As a waiter here, he was not stupid enough to ask questions like "Can you afford it?" "Can you finish it?" Such questions, those who come here are all big shots, and he can't see through the cultivation of the person in front of him, so he just bowed his head respectfully: "In that case, I'm afraid the table in the hall can't be put, please go to the room on the roof."

"Okay, lead the way." Li Qi nodded and didn't refuse.

The waiter led the way, and Li Qi and others boarded a big blue bird. The big bird carried a pavilion on its back, which was the elevator here.

The big bird slowly soared up, followed the rising air flow, and flew slowly and steadily to the top of the restaurant.

Juye was trembling with fear.

He had never been to such a place, and he had just discovered that this bird that was used as an elevator... had the same cultivation as him. If it was outside, it would definitely be a fierce beast entrenched in one place.

But here, it can only be used as an elevator for people.

Li Qi didn't think it was a big deal. To be honest, most of his energy was put into deducing the social structure of the immortal world, and he didn't care much about these trivial matters in the outside world.

This is the mentality of a high-quality cultivator. Until now, Li Qi has rarely paid attention to things that have nothing to do with the outside world. After all, he has seen a lot of them. Most of the mortals... are similar.

The things they care about and pursue seem too small in Li Qi's eyes, and it is really difficult to have a common language.

Humanity may care about the demands of mortals as long as they meet the standards of humanity, but Li Qi is used to being alone, and the witch is not a Taoist tradition that will save the people everywhere.

Coming to the top of the building, Li Qi sat down.

Then, a large amount of food was delivered.

Li Qi ordered many dishes.

Exotic beast meat, rare fish feast, plants that have never been seen, spiritual herbs, special spices, different fermentation methods, various cooking methods, all laid out, a total of more than 400 dishes.

As a foodie, Li Qi actually likes to eat, but these are only ninth-grade after all, so he just tasted them. To be honest, for the eighth and ninth-grade levels, they are quite good. Many spiritual beasts that Li Qi has never eaten have a very exotic taste for Li Qi.

And Kikuchi next to him was eating happily. Li Qi only tasted a bite of each one, and the rest was his.

But...

Li Qi suddenly noticed that someone was staring at him.
