Chapter 759 - Little Angel on Earth (1/2)

Gu Bailu smiled. “It’s very simple. The more expensive the food, the rarer it is. It’s rare because the yield isn’t high. Why is that? Firstly, the natural yield isn’t high, and secondly, it isn’t easy to obtain. Like bird’s nest – you only know how to eat it, but you don’t know where it comes from or how complicated it is to clean it.

“When a bird’s nest is harvested, it’ll have feathers and eggsh.e.l.ls in it, and needs to be cleaned. Generally speaking, the person who cleans the bird’s nest has to have been trained since childhood. Not everyone can do that. Even the most skilled master takes half a day to clean a bird’s nest.”

Realization dawned on Ye Huai. “So… as long as you take in the workmen who clean the bird’s nests, there won’t be anyone to clean them, and it’ll naturally be in short supply.”

It took half a day to clean a bird’s nest!

Who would have thought it would actually be so complicated?

Gu Bailu nodded. “Also, not just anyone can do it. So, this is a skill usually pa.s.sed down through the generations, so…”

So, at the very least, the n.o.bles had to start respecting the garbage with these sorts of exclusive skills first.

So what if you had immense spiritual power? If you had immense spiritual power, you should cultivate; what did enjoying a life of luxury have to do with that?

Those who didn’t have enough spiritual power to cultivate, on the other hand, learned how to become real people.

“The princess is so smart!” Ye Huai praised her.

“This isn’t some grand trick. Everybody in my previous world understands this principle, but the people here don’t. One day, they will.”

When they ran out of food and clothes and could only wait to starve to death, they would know that no matter how strong their spiritual power was, it couldn’t fill their stomachs.

Feng Qingtian narrowed his eyes. He remembered why the heavens had repeatedly ordered for the human world to be destroyed back then.

It was the same in the human world back then. People only cared about cultivation, and n.o.body cared about the suffering of the common people. Those with formidable spiritual power also clashed with each other.

There was constant strife every day.

People killed each other, families killed each other, and countries killed each other. Whoever killed more would rise to the top.
