The underwater world trip had refreshed their worldview. Wei Huo was used to it, as he had experienced the trials of Kunlun Mountain a few times. However, the others were complaining all along the way.

The golden armor said, “That’s f*cking awesome. Guess what the economic rules of this city are? You have to pay money even when you’re in jail. You have to pay money to meet beautiful women. Is payment needed even to stretch one’s back and turn one’s neck?”

Xiao Liang said, “However, handsome men and beautiful women can earn money when they are seen by others. Besides, work is strictly calculated based on time. You can earn money every second you work. At the same time, you can also earn money according to the quality of your work. This means that the efficiency of work in this city is very high. Almost no one will be lazy because their every action the second they slack off is charged.”

Wei Huo said, “However, we have only seen bottom-level Atlanteans. Where are the rich and powerful?”

The group started walking toward the place where the rich lived. Soon, they arrived at the manor where the rich lived. Many servants were working hard in the manor, but some rich young masters and young ladies were leisurely learning or training their skills.

Xiao Liang said, “Indeed, rich people can live calmly.”

The Prime Minister Black Dragon said from an economic perspective, “If rich people don’t spend so freely, what’s the point of money?”

Everyone fell silent. That was true. The rich could spend lavishly to stimulate the market and make ordinary people work hard to earn money. Only then would society improve faster.

However, if the rich saved up their money and did not spend it, the producers would not be able to earn money. Their enthusiasm would decrease, and their productivity would decrease as well. The market would go cold, and society would slow down.

Everyone arrived at the knowledge sales center. One could gain any knowledge there, but all knowledge was charged. Even learning that one plus one equaled two was charged. It could be said that one could not move an inch without money in this city.

If the amount in a certain Atlantean’s account was zero and they took a step forward, they would immediately trigger the alarm and get arrested by the police. They would then be imprisoned and forced to work to repay their debt.

However, if the Atlantean was still unwilling to work, they would be executed when their debt exceeded a certain amount. Besides, it was worth mentioning that being executed was also charged. In this land, one even had to spend money to die.

How could a person pay after death? It was simple. Even if a person died, their corpse would still be valuable. That was why the losses would be paid by the corpse. After all, in the field of medicine, corpses were still valuable.

Wei Huo and the others did not have the money to buy knowledge. They could only search souls. They learned a lot about the Atlanteans. However, without exception, all this information was related to money.

In this world, one could not move forward without money. However, if one had money, one would have everything.

The golden armor was a little surprised. After some soul searching, he understood one thing: In this underwater world, one could spend money to save one’s life. If one’s organs were damaged, one could spend money to get a transplant. Even if one’s body was completely dead, one could spend money to create a new body and transmit one’s consciousness.

The group of people was shocked when they learned that the Atlanteans could do such a thing. The golden armor said, “The Atlanteans’ technology is actually really powerful. This won’t do. I have to obtain the technology used to transmit consciousness!”
