Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 305 – Beauty Fee

Chapter 305: Beauty Fee

The underwater world trip had refreshed their worldview. Wei Huo was used to it, as he had experienced the trials of Kunlun Mountain a few times. However, the others were complaining all along the way.

The golden armor said, “That’s f*cking awesome. Guess what the economic rules of this city are? You have to pay money even when you’re in jail. You have to pay money to meet beautiful women. Is payment needed even to stretch one’s back and turn one’s neck?”

Xiao Liang said, “However, handsome men and beautiful women can earn money when they are seen by others. Besides, work is strictly calculated based on time. You can earn money every second you work. At the same time, you can also earn money according to the quality of your work. This means that the efficiency of work in this city is very high. Almost no one will be lazy because their every action the second they slack off is charged.”

Wei Huo said, “However, we have only seen bottom-level Atlanteans. Where are the rich and powerful?”

The group started walking toward the place where the rich lived. Soon, they arrived at the manor where the rich lived. Many servants were working hard in the manor, but some rich young masters and young ladies were leisurely learning or training their skills.

Xiao Liang said, “Indeed, rich people can live calmly.”

The Prime Minister Black Dragon said from an economic perspective, “If rich people don’t spend so freely, what’s the point of money?”

Everyone fell silent. That was true. The rich could spend lavishly to stimulate the market and make ordinary people work hard to earn money. Only then would society improve faster.

However, if the rich saved up their money and did not spend it, the producers would not be able to earn money. Their enthusiasm would decrease, and their productivity would decrease as well. The market would go cold, and society would slow down.

Everyone arrived at the knowledge sales center. One could gain any knowledge there, but all knowledge was charged. Even learning that one plus one equaled two was charged. It could be said that one could not move an inch without money in this city.

If the amount in a certain Atlantean’s account was zero and they took a step forward, they would immediately trigger the alarm and get arrested by the police. They would then be imprisoned and forced to work to repay their debt.

However, if the Atlantean was still unwilling to work, they would be executed when their debt exceeded a certain amount. Besides, it was worth mentioning that being executed was also charged. In this land, one even had to spend money to die.

How could a person pay after death? It was simple. Even if a person died, their corpse would still be valuable. That was why the losses would be paid by the corpse. After all, in the field of medicine, corpses were still valuable.

Wei Huo and the others did not have the money to buy knowledge. They could only search souls. They learned a lot about the Atlanteans. However, without exception, all this information was related to money.

In this world, one could not move forward without money. However, if one had money, one would have everything.

The golden armor was a little surprised. After some soul searching, he understood one thing: In this underwater world, one could spend money to save one’s life. If one’s organs were damaged, one could spend money to get a transplant. Even if one’s body was completely dead, one could spend money to create a new body and transmit one’s consciousness.

The group of people was shocked when they learned that the Atlanteans could do such a thing. The golden armor said, “The Atlanteans’ technology is actually really powerful. This won’t do. I have to obtain the technology used to transmit consciousness!”

Xiao Liang was also praising them. “Impressive. This technology level is indeed high. No wonder we can’t understand it.”

Wei Huo said, “The Atlanteans should have developed for over 10,000 years. It’s not unusual that they have developed to this level in 10,000 years. Besides, the Atlanteans are also humans. I think that one day, even the land people will reach this stage.”

The others fell silent.

However, the golden armor accidentally discovered a good thing and said, “Look what I found. The economic law actually says that giving birth can earn one money. 1,500,000 yuan in government subsidies can be obtained by raising a child. It’s really worth it!”

The Prime Minister Black Dragon said coldly, “That’s normal. If giving birth was charged, who would give birth? If this went on, wouldn’t the Atlanteans go extinct?”

It was obvious that the Prime Minister Black Dragon was not satisfied with society.

Lu Qiqi did not have much of an opinion on this, but her appearance seemed to have attracted the attention of some Atlanteans. They did not dare look at her because they had to pay a fee to look at beautiful women.

When the golden armor saw this, it immediately sucked up to her and said, “What a huge loss. How much is the beauty fee? I’ve let these Atlanteans see her for nothing!”

Lu Qiqi was speechless.

The golden armor and Xiao Liang were tinkering with an intellect charging device. They wanted to obtain knowledge through violence, but unfortunately, even though they were Legendary creatures, science and technology were not something that could be understood with strength. Although they could dismantle the device violently, they could not download the content. This made their hearts itch.

A treasure mountain was right in front of them, but they could not enter it to obtain the treasure. This made them anxious. After all, even Legendary creatures could not do whatever they wanted.

However, at that moment, Wei Huo said, “Although machines are watertight and there’s no way to crack them, humans still have to control them. We can start from the people and find the highest ruler of the city before controlling him.”

Wei Huo’s words made the golden armor and Xiao Liang’s eyes light up. Before the others could say anything, the two of them rushed to the City Lord’s residence. However, they did not succeed. They fought a huge battle with the City Lord, and Xiao Liang and the golden armor ended up losing.

The group gathered again. Xiao Liang sighed. “We underestimated this underwater world. 10,000 years of accumulation is enough for a Legendary-level expert to be born at the bottom of the sea. It’s not unusual for a Rule-level expert to be born either. Although only the City Lord attacked this time, I felt several Legendary-level fluctuations. Legendary-level auras are very powerful. They must be experienced Legendary-level experts who have lived for thousands of years. Their strength cannot be underestimated.”

Wei Huo started thinking about it as well. The strongest person in the City Lord’s mansion had patched up the last loophole in the city. He said, “There’s only one way now. Snatch the chip, control it, and integrate it into the Atlanteans. We can obtain knowledge by earning money.”

The golden armor shook its head. “No matter how much money we make, it’s impossible to buy all the knowledge in the underwater world.”

Wei Huo added, “Then we’ll use the money we earn to build a new city and let the Atlanteans walk freely without paying. Let’s start a revolution and change the underwater world!”
