Dongyang Satellite City.

China has 12 base cities and 47 satellite cities.

The base city has a population of over 100 million, and the satellite city has a population of only 10 million at most.

Of the 47 satellite cities, half were cities that existed before spiritual power was revived, and the remaining half were bases established to suppress and develop extradimensional space gates. Over time, cities were formed.

There is no guardian artifact in the satellite city, and tall walls are built around the city.

A tall city wall surrounds the city and extends ten meters underground.

On the city wall, various weapons are placed and patrolled by guards. High-strength cement mixed with various sharp metal thorns can resist the tide of small and medium-sized monsters.

This city wall is also called the Great Wall.

The giant wall blocks the monsters from the city.

However, there is no giant wall in the sky above the city, and there is no protective barrier for the base city, so flying monsters often attack humans.

The deaths and injuries of residents in the base city are almost all caused by the emergence of new interdimensional space gates and attacks by monsters. The probability of occurrence is not high, and the number of people is not large. A few dozen people is considered serious, and generally no more than a hundred people.

In the satellite city, there are also new interdimensional space gates appearing, and they have to face attacks from monsters all the time.

Every few days, people can see on TV pictures of which satellite city is being attacked by monsters.

Every one or two months, there is big news that the giant wall has been breached, killing and injuring hundreds or thousands of people.

It is impossible for monsters to invade the city in the base city, but it often happens in satellite cities.

Because there is no supervision by the guardian artifact, the order in the satellite city is even more chaotic, and the crime rate is dozens of times that of the base city.

According to records, the birth population in satellite cities has been declining for thirty consecutive years.

There is no sense of security and happiness, which is why people in satellite cities are unwilling to get married, and even if they get married, they are unwilling to have children.

Dongyang Satellite City.

Merlin Garment Factory.

This is a suburb, less than two kilometers away from a garment factory in Jubi.

Workers working in the factory can see the huge wall through the window, and from time to time can clearly hear the roar of monsters.

The workers didn't respond much to this. They were used to it, or in other words, they were numb.

Meilin Garment Factory is small in scale, with more than 500 employees.

At this time, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and the factory was already in full swing and busy.

Everyone is doing their own work in a position they are familiar with.

On average, they work more than fifteen hours a day. After working day after day, people's faces have lost their expression, but they are not depressed, accustomed or numb. Only when chatting can the atmosphere become more lively.

"Last night outside Jubi, I don't know which monster was in estrus. It screamed all night long, and I couldn't sleep last night."

"Hey, maybe I'm in heat because I smell your scent."

"Big man, are you looking for a slap in the face?"

"Maybe her husband kept her awake all night."

"How can her husband have that kind of strength? Lao Wang next door is almost the same."

As usual, chit-chat in the factory is inseparable from yellow accents, accompanied by bursts of laughter. From time to time, someone gets on the bus and speeds up.

"Did you watch the Rookie Challenge yesterday? It was so exciting."

"I was very sleepy after get off work yesterday, but I still stayed up late to finish reading it."

"It's surprising that Zhan Tianyu defeated Yun Tianqi. Originally, I thought this was the climax. Who knew Lin Feng was it? Haha, he is worthy of being recognized by the media as the troublemaker and the headliner. He actually blew up Xie Yixiao and crippled him. I heard

Xie Yixiao’s right hand was almost disabled and he had to miss more than ten games.”

"Lin Feng is ruthless enough. If he can't be beaten, he will just commit suicide and explode."

"Ruthless people are not scary, but lunatics who are not afraid of death are scary."

"Just ask your opponent if he's afraid that he'll even explode himself!"

"Xie Yixiao deserves it. If you didn't look at it, Yun Kai was scorched by electricity. Lin Feng is avenging his brother."

Someone talked about the Rookie Challenge, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

On this topic, whether it is a young girl or young man who has just joined the factory, or an old man or woman in his sixties or seventies, they can come up and have a few words.

And everyone has their own opinions.

Have someone you care about.

Although those proud men of heaven have nothing to do with them, they are too far away from each other and they are not from the same world, but it does not prevent them from chasing stars and yearning for them.

"Today is the rematch of the National College Glory League. It starts at three o'clock in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I have to work overtime and cannot watch the live broadcast."

"My boy will be eighteen next year. I don't know what level of demon spirit he can refine. The three major hero academies don't dare to think about it. It would be great if he can go to the nine major elite joint schools."

There was a hint of hope in a woman's expression, which resonated with many parents.

No matter where they are, children are the hope of their parents, and this is even more true in satellite cities.

In Base 12 City, the wish of ordinary families is to move into the inner city.

That was the starting point for entering the upper class and the beginning of rapid success.

The wish of almost every family in the satellite city is to enter the Twelve Base City, even if it is a slum, because that way safety is guaranteed.

In the eyes of people in satellite cities, as long as they can live in the base city, happiness begins.

The base city is already overcrowded and it is difficult to accept new people.

Children in satellite cities will have the opportunity to stay in the base city only if they are admitted to a good university. For ordinary people, if they want to live in the base city, they need to pay 5 million Singapore dollars.

This amount of money is an astronomical amount for an average family, and for an average worker, it would be impossible to save it even if they don’t eat or drink for a hundred years.

And this is just one person. If it is a family, it would be tens of millions.

Even if they get into a good university and can stay and work in the base city, only some of them can bring their parents and family to the base city through their own efforts.

Therefore, few people from the satellite city can enter the base city.

There are many ways to change your destiny.

You can do it if you study hard, get into a good university, find a good job after graduation, or start a business and make a lot of money.

But the fastest and highest status is undoubtedly to refine the demon spirit on the day of awakening and become a demon spiritual master.

As long as you refine a high-level demon spirit, you can change your own destiny, and even the destiny of your family.

After discussing the Awakening Day, it was time to show off their children in various ways.

Those whose children have good talents will talk about their children's achievements without hesitation at this time. This is what they are most proud of, and it is also their greatest hope in living a numb life.

Those who do not have children at this time, or whose children have poor grades, can only show envy and are not qualified to express opinions.

"So what if she got admitted to one of the three major hero academies? Zhang Aomei's daughter didn't get admitted to Magic Star University. She doesn't work here like us."

Suddenly, a fat woman said.

As soon as he said this, everyone became slightly quiet, and soon many people laughed out loud and looked not far away.

There, steam lingers.

An old woman in her fifties or sixties, with graying hair and sagging skin, who seemed to be in a bad mood, was holding an iron and ironing her clothes carefully.

People were chatting just now, and the old woman remained silent. When the topic of children came up, she lowered her head and lowered her sense of presence. But there was no surprise, they still talked about themselves.

Seeing everyone's joking looks, she didn't refute, nor was she impatient when people asked her questions again and again. She just smiled, with a slightly bitter smile.

Such topics come up every two or three days.

From the initial unconvinced argument to now bowing her head in silence, she has become accustomed to it.

"Why are you talking about this? Aren't you tired of saying it so many times? Her son is paralyzed and is still being treated in the hospital. In addition to going to work every day, he also has to clean the factory. He works eighteen hours a day. Is it easy?"

Some people didn't smile and frowned.

But this did not make the fat woman restrain herself. Instead, she said louder: "Isn't this curiosity? Zhang Aomei, is your daughter really at Magic Star University?"

Zhang Aomei lowered her head, did not respond, and ironed her clothes carefully.

Not answering did not make the fat woman calm down, but made her laugh even more unscrupulously:

"It must be a lie. Those who can get into Magic Star University are all the proud ones of heaven. I still use you to work. After so long, I have already made money, and I will take you to Magic Star."

Listening to these harsh words, Zhang Aomei wanted to refute.

Her daughter is not only in Magic Star University, she was also specially recruited, which is much more difficult than getting admitted.

Two days ago, my daughter remitted 1.2 million back.

The workers in the factory only earn three to four thousand yuan a month, and after a year's expenses, they don't have a few thousand yuan left. Those with two children at home cannot make ends meet and have to borrow money to survive.

One million and two hundred thousand, this is money that a fat woman will never earn in her lifetime.

Zhang Aomei wanted to refute, but in the end she said nothing.
