I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 154 The Slums of Fukuzawa City (66)

May 1st is a holiday!

This is the last holiday before the college entrance examination. After that, senior high school students will enter the intensive training phase, and will start to squeeze out their potential to the extreme to improve their scores.

The previous top scorer in Tianyuan City improved his score by 29 points in two months and finally scored 441 points to be admitted to a top-tier university, which became a legendary story.

Moreover, since Tianyuan can now enter and exit on foot, it allows them to relax outside the city.

However, it's best to stay away from some dangerous urban areas to avoid getting into trouble.

Fukuzawa City is listed as a city that is particularly not recommended to enter because it is quite dangerous.

Fukuzawa City is famous for its medical practices and puppetry, and its medical techniques are second to none in the entire Changsheng Prefecture.

We can save those others can't, and we can treat illnesses others can't cure. There are tens of thousands of hospitals of all sizes in the city, and there's bound to be one that suits your needs.

This place can save lives, perform cosmetic procedures, and in some places, even reshape spiritual roots to suit the tastes of wealthy patrons.

The medical waste generated there every day could fill a stadium. This medical waste is a valuable resource that some poor cities desperately need. Many poor cities even have to spend money to buy the waste and extract contaminated drugs with strong side effects from it.

The wealthy can enjoy meticulous medical care here, but this has also spawned a massive black market. A large number of cultivators sell their blood, magical power, and spiritual roots here to seek medical treatment. Many people have to sign huge loans in order to survive, and spend their entire lives struggling to repay them.

Looking at the introduction to Fuzawa City, a question arose in Chen Yu's mind.

Since Fukuzawa City has advanced medical care, it's understandable, but what about its advanced puppet system?
After continuing to read the relevant booklets, Chen Yu quickly understood.

Fukuzawa was originally famous for his puppets.

At that time, Fuzawa City possessed the most advanced puppetry technology in Changsheng Prefecture and developed a large number of puppetry profit models, such as puppet racing and puppet combat.

However, if the puppet is used too often, the driver will inevitably be injured or disabled.

Some hot-blooded young men would then engage in violent fights in the city, causing numerous casualties.

Subsequently, limb regeneration technology began to develop here, and then gradually spread to various fields, becoming a major medical center.

After all, healthcare is a lucrative field, one that people never even dared to dream of making money from.

Today, the puppet system in Fukuzawa City has become outdated, but the driving test has been retained and remains one of Fukuzawa's important powers.

After reading the introduction, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh that birth, aging, sickness, and death are indeed a lucrative business.

It even led a cultivator in a city to abandon his original specialty and switch to medicine, which shows just how lucrative this profession is.

After reflecting on his experience, Chen Yu prepared to set off.

After estimating the time, he began to speed south, and then turned west as he approached the south, soon seeing the edge of the city.

As Chen Yu approached the boundary, he saw what appeared to be a thin membrane, where two phantom images of gods intersected, verifying the cultivators' qualifications and determining whether they could leave.

Chen Yu, who possessed the titles of Fire Virtue Star Lord and Flowing Light Star Lord, and had traveled twenty kilometers ahead of time, only felt a gentle breeze on his face when passing through this place, and then smoothly entered Fuze City.

As soon as Chen Yu stepped into this place, he felt the air was unusually heavy.

The azure sky suddenly turned hazy. Visible particles suspended in the air, making Chen Yu feel a sudden strain on his lungs.

The spiritual energy is extremely thin, almost nonexistent. If magical power isn't used to promote the circulation of magical energy within the body, the spiritual root will quickly become polluted, temporarily lowering its score. If left untreated, it will develop into a spiritual energy disease, causing permanent problems for the physical body.

He was still in the wilderness, but he could already feel the pollution in the air. He wondered what it was like in the city.

This place is adjacent to Tianyuan and Sangmu, but the good climate of those two places has not affected this place at all, which makes Chen Yu feel the magic of the region once again.

Each region is like an independent small country, and different regions are blessed and cursed by different star deities due to historical reasons, thus forming completely different customs and traditions.

Every time he left the city, it felt like he was going abroad, a strange feeling that Chen Yu found very novel.

The closer you get to the city, the more polluted the air becomes, the scarcer the spiritual energy, and there are absolutely no natural trees to be seen along the roadside.

Animals have become rarer, and the wild animals that survive are mostly carrying various mutations.

Chen Yu stared at a sika deer in a deadwood forest for a while. The deer had eight eyes on its face, like a spider, and each blink was like a beaded curtain opening and closing, making people feel deeply uncomfortable.

Even after leaving, Chen Yu could still feel the other person's gaze, like a lifeless old tree, silently watching Chen Yu leave.

When Chen Yu officially entered the city area, although the surrounding air still lacked spiritual energy, the particulate matter had decreased significantly.

He initially thought there were specialized air purification facilities in the city, but after seeing the crowded scene, he realized he had been mistaken.

This is capitalism; the monks' council here has no obligation to purify the air!

The reason there are fewer particulate matter is because there are many people here, and they absorb the particulate matter by taking a bite from each other!

After discovering this, Chen Yu could only say that this place was amazing.

A huge neon sign hangs at the entrance to Fukuzawa City, reading: "Welcome to Fukuzawa City! The Fukuzawa Monks' Committee looks forward to your arrival. This place is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery; you're sure to want to stay longer."

Below, a murky stream flows out from inside Fukuzawa City, where patients with tumors covering their faces line up to fetch water, which costs three cents a bottle.

Looking at the water that emitted a pungent odor, Chen Yu asked in confusion, "Is this water drinkable?"

"Why not!" exclaimed an excited man who was fetching water. "Never mind if it's dirty or not, look at the color! Isn't this the color of a miraculous medicine? See if it can cure diseases first!"

Chen Yu wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

I thought the Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory was scary enough, but I didn't expect Fuzawa City to be even worse.

A city full of hospitals, yet it has the most patients and the worst air quality in Changsheng Prefecture. I really don't know what to say.

Further in, there is a vast slum.

Here, garbage piles up like mountains, and body cultivators wearing gas masks act as security guards. They'll beat up anyone who disagrees with them.

Some people looked at Chen Yu with ill intentions, but after discovering that the mana flowing within him was vigorous and his life force was inexhaustible, they immediately looked away and stopped looking at him.

A person with such abundant magical power is no ordinary person.

In the slums, Chen Yu searched for a while according to the coordinates and finally saw the person he was looking for.

Wang Chuyun.
