Chapter 328 - The Working-Class Zone.

Entering the working-class zone presented a very different facet of this clown city to Sebastian than what he was originally accustomed to.

Though he already saw signs of it in the residential zone of the city, entering the working-class zone took it to a whole different level. This was the real city, this was where the real development took place, this was where the industry thrived.

Unlike in the residential zone, giant sea anemones filled every corner of the working-class zone. These giant sea anemones were in different shapes and they all served a specific purpose to keep the industry driving.

Alongside the giant sea, anemones were huge works of machinery. Of these machinery buildings were the central mechanic workshop where most of all machinery-related activities in the lesser zones took place.

There were other huge machinery buildings whose use Sebastian could not understand at the moment. The smoke rising from some of these buildings painted the working-class zone as a really industrial zone.

At the top of this city was a huge transparent energy shield that demarcated and protected it from the outside world.

Below the transparent energy shield and above the giant sea anemones was a different world entirely. Like other major cities, in the working-class domain, there was a refined transportation system.

Below the transparent energy shield was the domain where transport mechanical structures like birds hovered. This was one of the different modes of transportation of the working-class zone.

On the water surface, there were shuttles that ferried visitors and clownfish from one place to the other, forming a perfect system of transportation. 

The working-class zone was all that Sebastian asked for and imagined.

This was where most of all workable clownfish and visitors worked. The working-class zone was the heartbeat of the anemone domain, daily activity was most active in this zone of the clown city.

In the working-class zone, there was a giant sea anemone bank, a giant sea anemone multipurpose market, a giant sea anemone production firm, a giant sea anemone hospital, and a lot of other unique industry-related giant sea anemones.

There were few to no residential sea anemones in this zone, most of the giant sea anemones were specialized to hold a different facet of the industry and this was what allowed it to strive amid any unexpected circumstances.

Most of the visitors that came to the anemone domain for trade engaged in a lot of their business here in the working-class zone.

This was the nexus of trade and growth of the entire city. In here, there was no discrimination as there was a mixture of every race, ranging from mutated beasts to variant humans.

The bright colorful bodies of the giant sea anemones that filled it painted the working-class zone on a very bright but serious note.

Sebastian was convinced that entering any of these giant sea anemones would provide him with a first-person perspective view of the possible paradise that was inside them, and he could not wait for it.

This was the overall impression of the working-class zone that Sebastian got once he crossed the boundary that separated normal visitors from the others.

Just like when he just visited the city, he was mesmerized by the display but his mental resilience was stronger now. He admired to his satisfaction for a few minutes before Sebastian went on with his motive.

From the map, Sebastian already knew that the working-class zone was smaller than the residential zone but far more developed.

This effectively meant that the area that he needed to transverse to get to his destination was smaller and that it was easier for him to locate his destination.

"Main Market, 20 clown cods!"

"Tower Industry, 30 clown cods!"

"Clown King Bank, 40 clown cods!"

"Aurora Hospital, 30 clown cods!" 

"Machinery Village, 1 clown credit!"

"Banana Island, 2 clown credit, 20 clown cods!"

Transportation vendors of different species advertised their services as they yelled specific destinations and the amount needed to get there.

The dominant clown currency was the clown credits. But just like the way the dollars could be divided into cents; the clown credits could be divided into clown cods which could be used for every purchasing activity.

1 clown credit equaled 100 clown cods. To go to the Aurora Hospital which was Sebastian's destination, he needed to pay 30 clown cods.

Doing this was pretty simple. Sebastian simply spoke to the jellyfish who was the driver of the shuttle, then he connected to his online account through the shuttle where he paid for the ride.

With that, Sebastian waited for a few seconds until the box-like shuttle was filled up before he finally embarked on his journey.

The distance that spanned kilometers was reduced to mere 2 minutes due to the outrageous speed of the transport shuttle.

When Sebastian came out of the transport shuttle, a different district of the working-class zone was presented before him. Unlike other parts, there were no machinery buildings emitting smoke around here, the surrounding looked serene.

The district was mainly composed of medium-sized sea anemones where different industrial activities and medical activities took place and 3 giant sea anemones which were all hospitals.

This district was called the medical district.

Without even needing to go in first, just looking at this district made Sebastian feel at home. There were a lot of differences to his previous world, but coming here made him feel like he was returning to work.

After basking in the love of music for the past few hours, Sebastian was hyped again since he was now basking in the love of his familiar domain.

"Anatomy to the world!" He yelled excitedly inwardly.

As he swam to his destination, Sebastian attracted a lot of attention along the way until he got to the entrance of the Aurora monster hospital.

On getting there, Sebastian didn't do anything complicated. He ignored the colorful display inside the hospital and simply went inside like a normal patient and swam to the non-emergency ward.

After waiting for 10 minutes there, it finally came to his turn where he got to order a room inside the giant sea anemone exclusively for himself.

Sebastian was already feeling all excited about being inside a real hospital again. He wanted to drop his application letter immediately, but he suppressed his excitement since he had an even more pressing want.

After waiting for over a month and beyond, it was time for him to use his last slot and create his 2nd living doppelganger to increase his lifelines to 3 bodies.
