Chapter 1363 The World's Conference (5)
?
After washing up, Yun Lintian and Yun Qianxue left the room and went to the dining hall. The moment they stepped into the hall, Han Bingling, Lin Xinyao, and Shen Liqiu looked at them strangely as if they had discovered something.
While Han Bingling and Lin Xinyao were happy for Yun Qianxue, Shen Liqiu gritted her teeth in anger. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
Yun Lintian pretended as if nothing had happened and took a vacant seat. "Morning."
Lin Xinyao smiled and served him a porridge.
"Congratulations, Sister Qianxue." Han Bingling smiled sweetly at Yun Qianxue, causing the latter's face to flush red.
Yun Qianxue pretended to be deaf and sat down beside Yun Lintian, sipping tea calmly.
Han Bingling didn't tease Yun Qianxue further and turned to Yun Lintian. "Everyone has arrived now. You can start at any time."
Yun Lintian swallowed a mouthful of porridge and asked. "What about the broadcasting system?"
"It was completed a few days ago, and there is no mistake so far." Han Bingling replied.
"That's good." Yun Lintian nodded gently.
While Yun Lintian and the others were having breakfast on the other side of the city, Lei Yongzheng, Lei Zhenxiang, and Lei Feifei finally arrived.
"This city is truly magnificent. It's difficult to believe it took only three months to build it." Lei Feifei said as she looked around in surprise.
"The architecture of these buildings is strangely beautiful. I have never seen something like this before." Lei Yongzheng stroked his beard while looking at the rows of highrise buildings on both sides of the street.
Lei Zhenxiang was also marveling at the scene. However, his focus was more on people on the street. More precisely, on the ordinary people without any profound strength.
This Azure Cloud Divine City absolutely upheld justice compared to various big cities in the past. Ordinary people could live here without worrying about being bullied by a practitioner.
It was said there was a practitioner who made trouble here last week, and he was killed on the spot directly after an intensive investigation. When this case spread out, no one dared to do anything recklessly here, and ordinary people were also relieved. Finally, they could enter a big city without fear.
"I heard Palace Master Qing is the current city lord." Lei Zhenxiang suddenly said.
Lei Yongzheng nodded. "We have come to a conclusion that she will be the first city lord, and the next one will be me. Then, Palace Master Han, Palace Master Nantian, and Patriarch Jin of the Golden Python Clan."
"This system is excellent," Lei Zhenxiang said with a smile. With this rotating system, no one could abuse their authority at will, and everyone would keep each other in check.
"Let's take a carriage there." Lei Feifei caught a glimpse of a carriage service area in the distance. They came here by skyship and didn't bring a carriage over as it needed to be registered.
Lei Yongzheng nodded slightly and walked toward the carriage service area.
"Welcome, esteemed guests." As they walked over, a male receptionist quickly greeted them politely. "I wonder what kind of service you wanted today?"
"This is our first time here. Can you introduce it?" Lei Zhenxiang said with a smile.
The receptionist quickly explained. "Currently, we have two types of services here. The first one is a private carriage service. You can choose how many days you want. The second one is a public carriage service. This one, you don't have to pay anything, but it will depart according to the schedule."
"Oh? How could you make it free?" Lei Feifei asked in surprise.
Although she knew Yun Lintian was rich and didn't care about this petty profit, it didn't mean he could make it free entirely. After all, the city would still need income to maintain the overall infrastructure.
The receptionist smiled politely. "It's one of the policies. The city will take care of infrastructure, including transportation here. As long as you don't violate the rules, you can enjoy this public welfare unconditionally."
He seemed to see through Lei Feifei's thoughts and explained further. "While we earn nothing from this, the tax incomes from those stores alone are enough to maintain the city's infrastructure, including the salary of public officers like the city guards and a receptionist like me."
"I see." Lei Feifei nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Lei Zhenxiang touched his chin and asked. "The tax must be very high, right? Won't this be a problem?"
The receptionist shook his head. "Although I'm not smart enough to understand the city lord's mind, the tax is actually not that high. An individual will need to pay only two percent while a big store like a hotel and restaurants only need to pay five percent of their income."
"So cheap." Lei Feifei was surprised again. "No matter how rich Yun Lintian is, he shouldn't make it cheap like this, right?"
"This may be rude, but may I know how much is your salary?" Lei Zhenxiang asked.
"A receptionist like me will be paid five thousand medium-grade Profound Stones monthly. It's more than enough for me to feed my family." The receptionist said with a satisfied smile.
As an ordinary person without profound strength, it would be only a dream for him to earn this much. When he heard about this city, he came here with the mentality of having nothing to lose, but he didn't expect to get a high paid job in the end.
There were also many people like him. Most of them used to live in a mountain village or wander outside. Now, they didn't have to endure those hardships anymore.
Lei Zhenxiang and Lei Feifei glanced at each other in shock upon hearing this. One had to know that a true disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace couldn't even earn a thousand medium-grade Profound Stones in a month.
"You can find a chance to talk with Sect Master Yun later. I can only say that his way of thinking is extremely novel and creative. You will be surprised even more later." Lei Yongzheng said with a smile.
He looked at the receptionist and said. "We will get a private carriage for a day."
"Understood. This way, please." The receptionist said politely and led everyone to a luxury carriage in the distance.
