622 Chapter 622 âGolden Cityâ
Golden City? What a weird name!
"Yes, golden city. I bet the second round of the tournament will be held there, or we will stay at the golden city before going for the second round." Shu Chenâs eyes sparkled just at the mention of the Golden City. He looked excited to quickly arrive at the Golden City he was talking about.
"So whatâs with this Golden City, ah tell me! Does the city have a gold mine or something to be called The Golden City..." Li Shi Yingâs lips twitched seeing Shu Chen act all excited when she herself didnât know what this Golden City was. Donât tell her the whole city is made of gold. That would be ridiculous!
"Haish, you really know nothing. Listen, itâs called the golden city because 80% of things in the city are made of gold! As for the rest of the things like buildings for commoners, even though it isnât made from gold, the colour of it are all golden."
Shu Chen shook his head while explaining to Li Shi Ying. He just realized that even though Li Shi Ying was strong, she didnât know about much simpler knowledge, just like now.
Almost everyone in the Sui He Continent would know about Qilin Countryâs Golden City. Itâs the countryâs capital as well as the unique place Qilin Country was famous for. Itâs the basic knowledge about Qilin Country!
"What?! No way are you kidding me?? 80% of the city is made from gold?? Wonât the local commoner just steal and rob all the gold then??" Li Shi Ying gasped in surprise at hearing Shu Chenâs explanation.
If only a garden of a certain place in the city was made from gold she could still understand, but 80% of the city...was made from gold! Wonât many people who come to the city want to steal the gold?
"Well, you see...there are 3 areas in the Golden City. The emperorâs area, the nobles area and the commonerâs area. The emperorâs area occupies 50% of the whole city. The nobleâs area occupies 30% of it, and the rest of the 20% without gold is the commonerâs area, so the commoners actually wonât see the real Gold City."
Shu Chen patiently explained to Li Shi Ying, knowing that the girl somehow lacks the common sense of this world. Anyone would know that the Golden City had 3 separate areas and thus, people can only see the true gold city if they visited other areas.
"Wait, what?? The emperorâs area occupies 50% of the whole city?! Thatâs insane!" Li Shi Ying couldnât help but get surprised again by this fact. A city was of course very large, not to mention it was the capital.
But then, the emperor and the royal familiesâ area occupies 50% of the whole city? Isnât that a waste of land?!
"Well 20% of the emperorâs area is being opened for tourists and to receive guests from other countries, but the tourists had to pay quite a heavy price to sightsee the true golden city while mere adventurers can only visit the commonerâs area."
Shu Chen shrugged his shoulders, recalling how one of his family also had to pay a fee to enter the true golden city. The area itself, 20% of the emperorâs area was located near the commonerâs area so the tourists wouldnât be able to visit the 30% of the emperorâs area.
The whole city had the shape of a big circle, and the commonerâs area was located at the first ring, closest to the outside area. Next would be the 20% of the emperorâs area which nowadays was called a tourist area.
Going further to the center of the circle was a nobleâs area and the last one, at the center, was the emperorâs palace so to get to the tourist area, one had to pass through the commonerâs area.
"Then we wonât be able to see the true golden city if this is the case, am I right??" Li Shi Ying tilted her head as she listened to Shu Chenâs explanation. She never thought that the city would be so complicated with the areas.
So annoying! It was as if they made a âlevelâ for each person in various social status.
"Well I think the staff of the tournament had already asked permission from the emperor to hold the tournament in his country, and thus maybe we will settle at the tourist area."
Shu Chen rubbed his chin while guessing which area they would occupy for the second round of the tournament. He bet it would be the tourist area, so they too could sightsee the town.
"Ah, so we can see the famous golden city? Thatâs good!" Li Shi Yingâs eyes sparkled when she knew they would arrive at the Golden City soon. Knowing what the golden city is, how could she not be excited?
She wanted to see if the things in the tourist area were all made from gold!
Li Shi Ying had slowly forgotten about her heavy conversation with her master before. Right now she would only enjoy her adventure in this Qilin Country, as well as competing in the tournament.
She bet her other teammates were also heading to the Golden City...they would meet each other again soon!
