Chapter 1457 Social Class Transcendence
Servants were treated much better than basic laborers.

Compared to those prison-like cubicles, their living quarters were more spacious and had a more normal atmosphere, somewhat like a dormitory.

Unlike the silent figures before, the people here were different. Hearing the commotion, everyone opened their doors to see what was happening. When they saw Garr arrive, although they looked nervous, they quickly put on a fawning expression.

They dared not rush out to greet them, nor dared they leave without permission. They crowded around the door, their eyes following Lin Fan and his group as they cautiously moved.

Bonnie then launched into her theory on how improved living standards can be achieved through higher living standards.

And indeed, that seems to be the case.

But can a future where commodities are confined to a relatively comfortable environment, completely without autonomy, truly be considered an improvement?
But if they stayed in the Loess Plateau, the terrible environment and the uncertain future...

Lan Bingru was completely caught in a dilemma, her brain shut down, and she was so caught up in the internal struggle that she could only act as a stiff, moving cat tree.

Lin Fan just smiled.

Antonio wasn't as easy to talk to as she was; he immediately started criticizing Bonnie.

Bonnie couldn't win a fight or an argument, and her facial hair stood on end in anger, revealing her reddened skin underneath.

Gal didn't know if it was out of consideration for fellow orcs that he didn't want to see Bonnie suffer such a defeat; or perhaps he didn't want the purebreds to be so arrogant on his territory, so that these untrained and unsettled people from the Yellow Earth District would follow suit... or perhaps both.

With a wave of his hand, everyone near the door quickly closed and locked it. In the blink of an eye, all the doors were tightly shut, leaving only a few of them in the large hall.

“What she said isn’t wrong.” Gal was the first to walk to the nearest sofa and sit down. “There is indeed upward mobility, but it’s not the superficial kind. It’s about being a servant in the Loess Plateau, having enough to eat and wear, and living like a human being.”

Lin Fan heard the breathing behind the door become heavier, and pulled the stunned Lan Bingru to sit on the sofa next to him.

"Judging from what you said earlier, being a servant to a wealthy person in the Loess Plateau is already the best outcome I could hope for," she said. "You can't possibly send me to Silvermoon City to serve as a servant to those elite orcs, can you?"

Bonnie was about to sit on the single sofa next to her when Antonio pushed her off with his bottom.

She turned around angrily. There were still empty seats on the sofa, but Qian Sui had already jumped off Lan Bingru's shoulders and curled up on the cushions. She felt that sitting down there would seem disrespectful, and leaving a bad impression on Qian Sui would be detrimental to future interactions…

Bonnie glared at Antonio and could only walk around behind his chair to stand behind Chitose, like a guardian or a servant.

It was this delay that prevented her from speaking, and when she heard Gar speak again, it almost broke her heart.

"What?!" Bonnie exclaimed excitedly, grabbing the back of the sofa with both hands and leaning forward. "You sent them to Crystal City? Holy crap! I couldn't get in even if I tried my hardest, how come people from the Loess District can get in so easily?!"

“We need people from Crystal City.” Gal leaned back on the sofa leisurely and lit another cigarette. “Back then, we were trying to align ourselves with a Level 3 civilization, and supposedly one of the important indicators was the equality of species diversity. Wasn’t that when the policy prohibiting the open sale of human slaves was introduced?”

“Yes!” Bonnie stamped her foot. “They’ve already stopped buying and selling human slaves…”

"You guys haven't succeeded either," Antonio interjected with a laugh. "Haven't you been secretly plotting all these years?"

Bonnie really didn't have time to pay attention to him this time, her eyes fixed intently on Gar.

"Anyway, back then, the higher-ups wanted people from the Loess Plateau to go to Crystal City to fill quotas, saying it was to prove equality for all people or something. Could those pampered orc lords really stand it if they just went to the Loess Plateau to bail people out?"

Although the orcs of Crystal City in Annie Demon Star are more lenient and tolerant towards humans, this is based on their superior status.

In their eyes, there's essentially no difference between humans and low-level orcs. When they need people, they quickly send some over. But those they truly cherish aren't the people of their own planet, but rather those from advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.

The Huishi settlement was probably close to the Loess Plateau, where people could frequently come into contact with the people who had been sold off. In addition, most of them were struggling to make ends meet and had little energy to spend on unrelated people.

They dislike people's attitudes, but they don't care that much about them either.

Some factory owners and wealthy people who benefited from this even held a mixed feeling of disdain and fondness for the people of Huangtu.

In comparison, the elite class of Silvermoon City is actually the group that most intensely dislikes and resists people.

Even though they have almost no opportunity to come into contact with people from the Loess Plateau in their daily lives, and some of them have never even seen a pure human from this planet in their entire lives, they still verbally attack and condemn them, wishing they could devour their flesh and blood...

I don't know where such overwhelming emotions came from.

Although Bonnie was also influenced by the overall atmosphere of Silvermoon City, her aversion to people had not yet reached its peak.

The reason they were so anxious was because they cared about their own interests.

If others have something I don't, then I'm at a disadvantage!

What's more, that's Crystal City!
What a lucky birth! If she had been born in the Loess Plateau, wouldn't she be in Star City by now? Why would she have to work so hard doing these despised jobs?

Lin Fan hadn't expected that Adrian could send people directly to Crystal City.

But considering his high social standing in Crystal City, even as a marginal member of his family, he had managed to build such a large business empire in Graystone Settlement. This little bit of connections didn't seem like such a difficult thing to do.

Moreover, the order originally came from Jingyao City.

Perhaps it was through this opportunity that Adrian entered Graystone Settlement, leading to his current success...

"So you really do have some tricks up your sleeve," she praised. "But since you have this channel, why didn't you try to get yourselves into Crystal City as well? Crystal City is definitely better than Graystone Settlement."

Garr shook his head: "Do you think we haven't thought about it? But that place is only for people; there's no place for roughnecks like us..."

"This is utterly upside down!" Bonnie exclaimed, taking several large strides to move next to Garr, grabbing his arm and saying, "How can humans come in but orcs can't? This is Annimo! Annimo!!"

"What are you yelling about!" Gal shoved her hand away, picked at his ear, and moved to the other side. "It's not like I made the rules. This is how things are in Crystal City. Why are you arguing with me? Get lost!"

Bonnie was thrown to the ground, crying out in pain, her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

She looked up and saw that no one cared about her. She could only pout and remain silent for the time being.

“At first, we weren’t without energy,” Gal said, lowering his hand once his ears felt better, “but later… well, in order to maintain the appearance of an advanced civilization, Crystal City needs some fresh people to fill the gaps every now and then. And who are these people…”

He leisurely glanced at the closed doors and grinned.

"Of course, we'll choose from these outstanding servants and their descendants. So..."

"Social advancement is a real and undeniable fact. It's just that who will be lucky enough to benefit from it... that depends on everyone's performance."
