Chapter 149 - 124 Treasures and Precious Items
Although he had only taken a brief walk around You Shui Town, Li Yi could already sense the hardships of living in this era.
To put it crudely, martial artists like them, who lived life on the edge, were dozens of times more fortunate than the common people, who barely had clothes to cover their bodies or enough food to fill their stomachs. Moreover, they were even worse off than the people of ancient Earth, who could rebel if they couldn’t survive. However, people here didn’t even have that option.
Because this world had martial artists.
A martial artist could take on ten, a hundred, or even an army of thousands single-handedly if they were highly skilled.
Moreover, martial arts was a profession that consumed a great deal of resources. Only wealthy and powerful families could afford to support martial artists. Thus, martial artists naturally sided with rulers, further preventing heroes from emerging among the common people. Therefore, the structures of this world were twisted and malformed.
They were remarkably unjust.
Because of this, the times were indeed cruel.
After giving it some thought, Li Yi helplessly shook his head. He was struggling to survive himself; why should he worry about these things?
By this time, Zhao Qian had already arrived at the broker’s. She spent some money to rent a secluded courtyard from the broker and paid a hush money to settle the matter of their accommodation.
The brokers’ staff treated them with great respect and led them to their new residence.
Not long after.
