Chapter 167 Rich and Poor

The job is to go to the ground to collect ore. The ore is mixed in ordinary rocks and needs to be screened out. A person can only find a basket of ore all day, and the money is very small.

People in the whole city work in mines, and no one works in other work. The necessities needed for life are exchanged from supply stations, which are expensive. The money for a day of work can only barely make ends meet.

The rulers in the city will choose several days as the day of massacre. The rich people living in the Fudao District need to kill as much as possible on this day, and cut off the left ear of the murdered person as proof. The few murderers will be confiscated and expelled from the Fudao District, becoming a homeless man and becoming prey.

Nangong Yue has been in the Emerald City for two days and has only learned so much. People hope to rent a house by saving money. The rent is not expensive, but they need to pay a huge deposit in advance so that they don’t have to be slaughtered on the night of the massacre. People flock to it and work hard.

"How did you do last night?" Bai asked, it was Nangong Yue who he saved in the massacre.

"Isn't it the same when sleeping in the streets?" Nangong Yue replied. Bai was a good person, but he didn't dare to make friends because he didn't know when the friends he made would be on the day of the massacre. Nangong Yue lied that he had lost his memory, so Bai took good care of him, but did not admit that he was a friend of Nangong Yue.

"The next day of massacre is tomorrow. Have you found a place to hide?" Bai asked with a basket on his back.

"Not yet, this is really bad." Nangong Yue shook her head and said, the interval of the massacre day is just one month, I don't know why the interval this time is so short.

"You can go to my place to hide." Bai replied, and the two of them were chatting while walking.

"That's great. We'll have a good meal tomorrow and I'll treat you."

"Okay, I'll wait." Bai replied.

The next day, Nangong Yue finished work early in the morning and went to the only market in the city with Bai. This is a place to enjoy, with almost everything, and was directly managed by the city lord. Those who come here are all rich people from the floating island. They have money to get it without working, and come here to eat, drink and have fun every day.

Nangong Yue and Bai are very disliked, but the owner of the hotel still welcomes them. He runs a hotel and makes money from everyone. He also accepts poor people like Bai and Nangong Yue, but Nangong Yue and Bai can only go to the basement to eat through the back door.

Nangong Yue ordered a few dishes, which tasted ok, but it was a thousand miles apart from Yan Yurou's craftsmanship. The entire basement was very dull. This might be the last meal for the poor, so they came here to have a good meal, but the rich people upstairs were different. They were celebrating tonight's massacre night.

"These damn rich people, bah!" someone cursed.

"Do you know how much deposit for the house has been reduced now?" Bai asked in Nangong Yue's ear.

"What does it have to do with me if it's reduced? I can't afford it. Are you still interested in taking care of these?" Nangong Yue asked.

"It's only 30% of the previous one, and I can afford half of the deposit. Unfortunately, I have been rented out and there is not even a single one left." Bai replied.

"Then what did you say?" Nangong Yue asked again, feeling that this white was a little strange.

"But after tonight, there will be a house to rent, and my money will be enough." Bai's voice became smaller and smaller, and when the words came to the next few words, it was even more like a mosquito and flies. Nangong Yue only heard the first half of the sentence.
