Chapter 70 Different Districts, Different Worlds

Beicheng District is a high-end residential area.

There are no so-called high-rise apartments, they are all single-family villas.

Even the entertainment business establishments are opened in large villas with different decoration styles but all are luxurious and luxurious.

Those who can own real estate in Beicheng District are basically formal wizards of level two or above, and then there are wizard apprentices who come from big families.

If there is a slight lack of family power, it has to be considered.

After all, the background is not strong enough, and the strength is even less strong. If there is a slight conflict, there is no power to fight back.

It may even bring disaster to the family behind it.

Only those who really need it will bite the bullet and barely squeeze into this living circle.

The few wizards who are permanently stationed in the various management agencies of Reversos City basically live in the North City District if they do not build their own houses in the surrounding areas.

Link took the rail transit train and hurriedly passed by without getting off the train and stayed in Beicheng District.

Class is everywhere in life.

Money is one aspect, power is another, and strength is the most important aspect.

Without money, power and strength, we can only do what we are doing now, passing through the door but not daring to enter.

After turning into the East District, Link got off the rail transit train.

This is the most prosperous urban area in the entire city of Reversos, with both residential and commercial areas.

Big shopping malls, independent shops, small shops, you name it.

Eat, drink, play and have fun, everything is available.

Link didn't wander around the residential areas in the East District, but spent a long time in the commercial and entertainment areas.

It's a pity that even the smallest catering store needs half a standard first-level magic stone to start consumption.

This is probably where the "middle class" of River South City gathers.

Most of the people who live here are formal wizards studying in high-level colleges, or wizard apprentices from some small and medium families, and businessmen from other regions who come to do business.

Life here is very comfortable and consumption is not low. Although it is not as good as Beicheng District, it is far beyond the financial affordability of ordinary people such as Link.

Link couldn't afford it, so he could only take a look at it.

After all, he was only here for a field trip, and he was familiar with the terrain by referring to the map of River South City recorded in his mind.

It's not because you're poor that you don't go into the store, right?
The sun was high and it was approaching noon. Link turned into the southern city.

Compared with the East District, the decoration quality of the houses, consumption levels, and entertainment venues in Nancheng District have all dropped by more than one level.

All the factories, workshops, and studios in Reversos City are concentrated here.

Those low-level wizard apprentices who had to accept exploitation in factories, workshops, and studios and struggled to survive (most of them were born in the new blood of the sea of ​​​​storms) lived together in apartment buildings that looked like pigeon cages.

The work is tiring, the salary is low, and the free time is scarce, so it is difficult to enjoy.

Therefore, the most common business establishments in Nancheng District are restaurants, followed by grocery stores selling affordable items, and the least common are bookstores, laboratories, etc. related to knowledge, culture, and witchcraft.

There is very little mobility here, or more precisely, low emigration.

Every year, a group of freshmen from Sea of ​​Storms who failed to be promoted to official wizards within four years, and a very small number of local wizard apprentices for various reasons, were sent to major factories, workshops, and studios in Nancheng District.

In their lifetime, only a very few lucky people will be able to walk out of Nancheng District alive, and they will be promoted to official wizards within ten years of graduating from the academy.

Even after these people go out, they will still be at the bottom of society, which is better than living hopelessly in Nancheng District.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation and other aspects in Nancheng District are mainly affordable or even cheap.

The main circulation is also the standard first-level magic stone, but gold and silver coins can be used in many places.

Link was a little tired from shopping, and also a little hungry, so he randomly picked a small restaurant that looked clean, and walked in.

Through the smart computer installed in the lower left corner of each dining table, Link ordered a steak set meal and spent 30 silver coins!

When Link went out, he took some gold and silver coins with him.

A gift from Jasmine.

This steak set meal cannot be said to taste the same, but it is really unpalatable.

The quality of the ingredients is too low, even inferior to the synthetic food made by the smart kitchen in the college cafeteria.

In line with the principle of not wasting food, Link reluctantly swallowed it, feeling very hungry.

From this small meal, Link discerned a lot of information.

Others are not worth mentioning specifically, but one point must be emphasized.

That is, the low-level wizard apprentices are really exploited in all aspects, as long as they don't die.

There is no such thing as quality of life at all.

The South District is adjacent to the East District, and faces the North District across the small Central City District, but they are in a different world.

If the North District is like heaven, the East District is the world, and the South District is in the depths of hell.

Link left the South District with a heavy heart and headed for the West District.

This time, instead of taking the rail transit train, he went on foot.

The West End is special.

As humble as Nancheng District, the buildings, streets, and various public facilities are all in line with urban planning and are straight and smooth.

The West District is bright on the outside, but a mess inside.

In the section adjacent to Beicheng District, there is an "aircraft" airport, a "rail transit train" station, and a "passenger car" station.

It just separates the West District and Beicheng District.

The section next to the college is another "aircraft" airport, a "rail transit train" station, and a "passenger car" station.

Block the line of sight from the academy.

In the section due to the west, there are six "truck" stations lined up in a row, and one "passenger car" station.

These three sections are connected into a "匚" shape, enclosing the interior of the West District.

Inside the West District, the public facilities are in a semi-abandoned state, and the buildings and streets are like people who live and often travel to the West District, growing wildly and without rules.

If you want to use an analogy, there is no word like trash can and sewer that is more in line with the role of the interior of the West End in River South City.

Link walked slowly into the West District.

He kept his eyes straight, calm and relaxed, and walked neither fast nor slow, not at all like a newcomer to the West District for the first time.

Facing the malicious eyes of almost everyone he met along the way, Link didn't have any stress reaction.

He just remained vigilant and walked steadily.

A few street gangsters who really had evil thoughts saw that Link was covered in runes and items, and even two witchcraft weapons. They were a little ready to make a move, but they were hesitant.

People without a bit of discernment will not survive long in the West End.

Several street gangsters were unsure whether Link was a fat sheep or a man-eating wolf.

Don't be slaughtered if you don't eat meat at that time.

By the way, those fishing guys are really damned!
All the gangsters on the street dare not pickpocket directly!

After walking for several streets, when Link's destination was confirmed, a few street gangsters finally withdrew.

This man is going to the black market and should not be moved lightly.

In all likelihood, he is a ruthless fisherman!

　This concludes the first volume of "Fresh Off the Boat".

　　The follow-up is a little rushed, but it doesn't make too much progress. There is only a small plot, about four to six chapters in length, which may be moved to the back.

　　Like the sub-volume introduction added later, the snail stretches out its tentacles to perceive this strange world.Link Grande, who had just arrived, was indeed too careful in many ways.

　　In the second volume "Outside the Ivory Tower", the stimulated snail bravely steps out of the comfortable shell, takes the initiative to withstand the wind and rain, embraces the wind and rain, and accepts the hardships.

　　Thanks to the book friends who have been following up, thank you for your encouragement, and thank you for the encouragement in the comment area.

　　Life is a long journey, everyone should cherish it.I wish everyone a happy life and good health!
