The Wretched Capitalism

Mo City

Lin Yu, Xiao Xun'er, and Qing Lin dismounted from Zi Ying when they were still some distance from the city gates, proceeding on foot.

Lin Yu had Zi Ying leave first. Bringing it into the city would definitely stir up a citywide commotion!

Though it was not as scorching as the desert itself, this was still at the desert's edge, and the weather was rather stifling.

The blazing sun scorched the earth, turning the entire land into a steamer. The heat made sweat pour down their faces, and even standing in the shade left one feeling irritable.

Above the city gates were two crimson characters written in bold, sweeping strokes: Mo City!

Perhaps due to the sweltering heat, the soldiers at the gates were all rather short-tempered, hurriedly driving along the pedestrians entering and leaving the city.

The three arrived at the gates and were about to enter when the soldiers stopped them.

One of the soldiers barked at Lin Yu, "Are you blind? It says right here that you need to pay gold coins to enter the city!"

Lin Yu frowned, but said nothing as he tossed a bag of gold coins to the soldier.

After taking the money, the soldier weighed it in his hand. Then he impatiently shouted, "Alright, alright, move along! Hurry up!"

The money Lin Yu had given him far exceeded the required entry fee, yet the soldiers were completely unimpressed, as though they did not care in the slightest.

The soldier stepped aside to make way. Lin Yu did not say anything else and led the two girls into the city.

"Master, why did you give him so much money?" Qing Lin asked irritably as they walked down the street.

Having lived a hard life since childhood, Qing Lin felt uncomfortable seeing Lin Yu spend money so carelessly. There had been no need to give that much, yet Master had handed it all over! And that man had even put on such an expression. She truly did not know what Master was thinking.

Lin Yu replied helplessly, "That was the smallest bag of money I had on me!"

Qing Lin: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

What wretched capitalism...

Before leaving, Lin Yu had left almost all the gold coins he had drawn at God Extermination Hall, keeping only a small portion for himself. Yet even that small portion was an amount beyond the reach of countless people.

Lin Yu had packed the money into bags of varying sizes: one hundred, two hundred... one thousand, two thousand... ten thousand, twenty thousand... all sorts of amounts...

Only now did he realize this was not practical. He needed to get a bank card, otherwise this would be far too troublesome! Come to think of it, this world seemed to have some kind of card, didn't it?

The streets of Mo City were fairly broad, and the three of them made for quite a striking sight as they walked along them.

Most pedestrians on the street were bare-chested. The men exposed their chests, their skin dark, while the women wore revealing clothes that covered only what needed covering, unreservedly displaying their slender waists and long, wheat-colored legs.

In contrast, Lin Yu's group was wrapped up tightly. Aside from their hands, heads, and the small portion of neck exposed, all their fair skin was hidden beneath their clothes.

"Grrr~" Qing Lin, who had been bouncing around energetically, suddenly had her stomach growl. She abruptly stopped and turned to Lin Yu with a helpless look.

"Master... I'm hungry..." Qing Lin rubbed her stomach and looked at Lin Yu pitifully.

To be honest, Qing Lin had truly changed. She no longer possessed her former timidity or felt so inferior—at least, she was no longer like that in front of Lin Yu.

Hadn't she just eaten a hamburger? It had not even been half an hour. And she was already hungry?

"Lin Yu, I'm hungry too..." Xiao Xun'er said weakly from the side.

Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Qing Lin had only eaten one, so it was understandable that she was hungry now. But Xun'er had eaten... Was this what they called a big eater?

"Xun'er, how can you eat so much? How did I never notice before..." Lin Yu asked with a forced smile.

Xiao Xun'er tightened her hold on Lin Yu's arm. "Whenever Lin Yu went to the shop before, I would secretly eat beforehand... I just wanted to leave the impression of being a proper lady in front of Lin Yu..."

"And now?" If that was really the case, then what was there to worry about? She had eaten like this for so many years without gaining weight. Since she had such a big appetite, he could just let her eat. As long as she did not gain weight...

Xiao Xun'er's face reddened. "You would find out sooner or later, so I might as well let you know now... Besides, Lin Yu said it himself, didn't he? No matter what Xun'er is like, Lin Yu won't dislike her, right?"

"Hehe." Lin Yu laughed helplessly, then affectionately scraped Xiao Xun'er's nose. "Of course! Being able to eat is a blessing! You don't need to hide anything."

"Come on, let's find a restaurant and get something to eat first!"

Before long, Lin Yu led Xiao Xun'er and Qing Lin to a restaurant.

This restaurant could be considered one of the finest in Mo City. Most of those who came here to eat were people of some standing. Whether in their clothes, bearing, speech, or mannerisms, they were a cut above those outside.

Precisely because it was such an upscale restaurant, it did not have many customers. Especially at this time, before the meal rush, there were even fewer people.

The restaurant was cold and quiet. Lin Yu led the two girls to a window seat. Xiao Xun'er and Qing Lin sat side by side, while Lin Yu sat across the table from them.

They rather resembled a family of three. If not for how young they looked, one might truly have thought they were a young couple with a child!

Not long after they sat down, a skinny waiter came over to their table.

"What would you like to order, honored guests?" the waiter asked as he poured tea for them one by one.

"Bring us all of your specialty dishes!" Xiao Xun'er rushed to say.

"Uh..." The waiter scratched his head and cautiously said, "Miss... our specialty dishes come in large portions... If you order them all... you won't be able to finish them... And our prices are rather high too..."

Xiao Xun'er became a little angry. Were they afraid she would not pay when she came here to eat? Who was he looking down on?

"Are you saying we can't afford it?"

The waiter hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no... I'm just worried customers might skip out on the bill..." His attitude was very respectful, because he knew that none of the people dining here were simple. With his status, they could likely kill him without lifting a finger.

Seeing the waiter caught between a rock and a hard place, Lin Yu spoke up for him. "It's fine. Just do as she says."

As he spoke, Lin Yu took out a large bag of gold coins and handed it to the waiter. It contained a full ten thousand gold coins. The waiter nearly got dragged to the ground when he took it—it was simply too heavy! His arms and legs were so thin.

Lin Yu looked at the waiter and asked blandly, "Take a look. Is that enough? If it is, hurry up and serve the food!"

The waiter hurriedly replied, "Enough, enough! I'll go bring the dishes right away!" Hugging the Gold Coins, he staggered toward the back.

Qing Lin watched as Lin Yu pulled out that large bag of Gold Coins, her mouth hanging wide open for a long time. Master was really rich...

"Brother Lin Yu, just how much money do you have?" Seeing how extravagantly Lin Yu spent, Xiao Xun'er grew a little curious as well. Just how much money did Brother Lin Yu have to be this arrogant...

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then said indifferently, "Probably a little over a hundred billion..."

The corners of Qing Lin and Xiao Xun'er's mouths twitched. What kind of tone was that? Why did they suddenly feel like punching him?

Sure enough, damned capitalism...
