Terra Martial God and Merit System

The team entered Kamsco in this way.

This was Lin Yuxia's smoothest experience entering the city in Ursus.

So smooth...it's a bit hard to imagine.

"This city may really be special..." Lin Yuxia thought.

Chapter 4000: Meeting an Old Friend ()

"This city is really interesting." Lin Yuxia thought.

She brought her team to a hotel, booked a room for a month, and began to prepare for the investigation.

She commissioned her team to investigate every aspect of the city, and as for herself...

"I want to go to the slums," she said.

"You will form groups of three. Pay attention to your disguise and avoid conflicts with the locals..."

Lin Yuxia gave some instructions and then announced the start of the mission.

The team members retreated in twos and threes, and Lin Yuxia also stood up.

She checked her magic unit, then went downstairs to inquire about the location of the slums.

Walking through the busy streets, Lin Yuxia came to the junction of the normal residential area and the slums.

There were some remnants on the ground, which were left over from the demolition of the previous iron wall.

This is Luo Chen's order - this boring blockade cannot continue.

We are all human beings, why should one side look down on the other and surround them?

Lin Yuxia stood at the intersection and looked towards the slums.

At first glance, it fits her imagination of the slums in this city, chaotic and a bit dilapidated, it's really too...

It's common.

In this world, wherever there is a mobile city, there are slums.

It's just that the names are slightly different. The more elegant one is called "downtown", and the more vulgar one is "slum".

But the meaning is the same - a place where filth and dirt are hidden.

There are always some "untouchables" in the city who like to disrupt order. Since they cannot be controlled, then give them a place to kill each other.

In this way, the masters who are high and mighty can live a peaceful life.

This is what most people think. The slums are "protective clothing". Who is this clothing protecting? Can it be taken off and thrown aside at the critical moment?

The nobles of Terra always give the same answer.

After all, it's just a 'protective suit', a piece of clothing, not limbs.

If clothes get damaged, you can always replace them.

Lin Yuxia was somewhat disappointed with everything in front of her.

She had thought this would be different.

At least it's not this chaotic scene. This... looks like a natural disaster.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuxia decided to go down and take a look.

She stepped lightly into the slums.

As soon as she came in, she felt something was wrong here.

First of all – it’s so clean.

Yes, it's so clean.

To be honest, in the slums of Longmen, the most common thing to see is garbage.

There are all kinds of garbage, from cans to feces of various creatures. It is not uncommon to even see dead bodies.

But what about now?

The street where Lin Yuxia was walking was clean, with no garbage on the ground. There was not even any snow. There was also a layer of fine gravel and lime underfoot, so there was no mud at all.

"What do you mean? Was it organized by the residents themselves?" Lin Yuxia was a little confused. She was going to ask someone.

But after walking along the street for a while, she didn't see anyone.

After walking for so long, Lin Yuxia also discovered many unique places.

First of all, the roads are still so clean.

Secondly, the surrounding buildings looked shabby, but they didn't look old. Instead, they looked like they had been repaired recently. Some of the material fractures were still very smooth.

This means a lot of things. First of all, it means that a word that is basically impossible to exist in a slum area is "order".

Without 'order', this road would not exist.

Lin Yuxia was very curious. She followed the footprints of the room and came to a building that looked very large.

It's not really a building - it's just a huge tent. It's simple and unpretentious.

A light layer of glass appeared on Lin Yuxia's body, and then she carefully opened the tent.

A voice came from inside -

"So, 1+1=2. Is there anyone among you who doesn't understand this?"

Lin Yuxia looked at the scene inside. It was a place similar to a classroom or a church.

The benches were full of people, looking at the short-haired woman behind the podium and the tattered-looking blackboard.

"She... is teaching these poor people mathematics?" Lin Yuxia was stunned.

She knew in her heart how big the impact would be.

Let me put it this way, in fact, many residents in the slums are not necessarily infected, they are normal people. But why do they have to starve in the slums when they can't find a job?

Because most of them are illiterate.

Lin Yuxia had done this before. She wanted to find some jobs for the residents of Longmen slums, so she negotiated with a factory.

The result is that none of those residents are qualified.

When the supervisor asks two parts to be placed vertically, these people will be confused - 'Vertical? What is vertical?'

Some seemingly common things, such as writing names, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division... If you don't know how to do these things, it will be difficult to even drive screws into the factory.

Now, there are people here who teach these poor people knowledge?

What is this going to do?

The effort and reward are totally disproportionate...

Lin Yuxia's thoughts were in a mess, but someone who was listening to the class had already noticed her.

Several strong guards were quietly approaching her.

"!" Lin Yuxia suddenly woke up and subconsciously wanted to use the Originium technique.

However, the guard who came over did not take out a weapon, but took out a small notebook.

"Name? Group? Number?" He asked three questions in a row. "You are half an hour late."

Lin Yuxia was stunned by the question. She lowered her head before she reacted.

Because of their disguise, they thought they were part of the slum.

"Sorry, I have something to do..." Lin Yuxia was about to make an excuse, but a banknote appeared in her hand.

"Name? Group? Number?" The guard remained unmoved, while the others put their hands behind their backs.

"......" Lin Yuxia knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she raised her hand slightly, and the glass wall appeared. She took advantage of this barrier to quickly retreat and left the tent.

Back on the street, Lin Yuxia climbed up the wall with a few moves and came to the top of the building.

But before she could catch her breath, the alarm sounded.

"What a fast speed..." Lin Yuxia looked down in disbelief.

It's so strange that this slum area sounded the alarm just because of a stranger!

Lin Yuxia didn't know what words to use to describe them, anyway...this group of people didn't look like people from the slums.

Those guards didn't look like the natives here, but rather like elite bodyguards hired from Black Steel International.

At least this decisiveness and speed have exceeded many security measures.

Lin Yuxia hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to leave. Instead, she prepared to observe for a while.

As we observed this, more and more strange things gradually appeared.

For example, these slum residents start eating after finishing their studies. Lunch here is actually distributed uniformly.

Moreover, during the distribution process, Lin Yuxia did not see anyone cutting in line. Everyone lined up consciously.

Even if there was temporary chaos, the uniformed guards would immediately come over to maintain order.

Lin Yuxia walked around the slums and found that there were several large lunch distribution points, each of which could accommodate more than a thousand people.

But the scene was extremely peaceful, with no chaos or stampede.

Lin Yuxia no longer felt it was incredible. She just felt that if these residents changed their clothes, the scene here would change. It would become the front page of some countries' news.

The disaster victims in XX area are receiving food in an orderly manner with the help of XXX

Of course, the XX area here must be some prosperous area, not a dirty and messy slum.

Lin Yuxia could hardly suppress her curiosity and wanted to go down and investigate again.

However, the security of the lecture quickly dispelled her idea.

This is what they said - "A suspect about 160cm tall with long lavender hair has sneaked into our home. The suspect can use Originium techniques. He has a manic personality and is very aggressive. He is very dangerous. Citizens are requested to be careful not to be confused by the suspect's appearance and pay attention to their own safety."

Lin Yuxia had no choice but to leave the slums temporarily.

After some time, she returned to the team's gathering place.

Several groups have already arrived here, but they are all distracted, as if they have seen something indescribable.

One of them saw Lin Yuxia coming back and immediately shouted, "Captain, they don't have a tax officer!"

"Relax a little and speak slowly..." Lin Yuxia advised, "What tax officer? Which tax officer?"

"It's the tax collector, the lowest level tax collector. The tax collectors we saw in other places in Ursus who oppressed small vendors." The young man from Longmen said excitedly -

"There have been a lot of caravans coming in here recently, especially those selling winter supplies. These vendors' sales are not affected by anyone... They are tax-free!"

"It's not just them. No one stopped the citizens who came to buy things. They were also allowed to enter for free."

"I heard from the citizens that they had a tax collector before. But he was beaten to death in the street by the city lord."

"The mayor also said that he would hang anyone who collected taxes indiscriminately. He also said that before the new tax collector arrived, all small business activities would be free."

"Many caravans said they would come to Kamsko often in the future..."

"Captain Lin, do you think this method is a genius idea?"

"Because the more small caravans come, the more active the economy here will be..."

"Will it be able to attract large-scale commercial activities?" Lin Yuxia supplemented his words, "Well... it is indeed a relatively novel angle. This can be regarded as benefiting the people. After all, if taxes are collected from businesses, it is the citizens who pay the bill in the end."

"This is very interesting. Maybe we can experiment with it in Longmen..."

Others told what they saw.

Now everyone became excited all of a sudden, because these things were rare and bizarre scenes that were rarely seen in normal times.

Lin Yuxia even felt that this city was the city she had imagined.

There are no annoying tax officials, no hooligans looking for trouble, and everyone lives happily...

But — is it really like that?

"Where does the Kamsko government get the money to maintain all this?" someone asked this sharp question.
