C2 (2/2)
The nature of these five elements rightly summed up the characteristics of each country.
For example, the country they lived in was a country with lush vegetation. Almost four fifths of the land was covered in forest, and the capital city, Green City, was built on a mountain range.
The State of Shui was formed of countless small islands scattered throughout the sea. The State of Jin had a plethora of metal mines, the State of Fire had many volcanoes, and the Land of Earth was a desert.
The society here was similar to that of ancient China. It was a feudal society under the tyranny of kings. There was a martial arts world, a imperial government, ordinary people, and even nobles.
What was special was that there was something different about this place! Yes!
According to Guan Xiaoyu's understanding, an Adept was someone who could use his or her surroundings to cast spells. This was similar to magic, something the people here called mystical arts.
There were very few Adepts, and they were the patents of the nobility. If there were any Adepts among the commoners, they would immediately be recruited by either the state or the nobles, becoming a subsidiary force of the nobility.
As for the types of mystical arts, they were roughly compatible with the properties of the five countries. They were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Some people could learn one type of mystical art while others could learn more than one. However, as long as one knew one, even the lowest level, it was enough to make one laugh arrogantly.
In addition to Adepts, ordinary people could also learn martial arts and swordsmanship to strengthen themselves. This was a world of martial arts and mystical arts.
Guan Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as she listened. She had never seen such a bizarre world unfold before her eyes before – however, thinking about her maimed body, her mood dampened.
The heavens had opened a window for her, but it had only slapped her hard in the face and then closed again.
Sigh!
The steward left that night. The steward had given strict orders that no servant was allowed to spend the night outside. Those who violated this rule were to be sentenced to death by the staff.
Guan Xiaoyu spent the night without washing her hands or brushing her teeth before going to bed. The next day, although she was filled with emotions, she had no choice but to go out.
In Guan Si's words, it was called: In the future, she would have to rely on herself.
Since he was relying on himself, how could he not understand his living environment!
Guan Xiaoyu used a large piece of flowery cloth to wrap around half of her scar-covered face. Only her left eye, which was slightly less ugly, was exposed to prevent herself from being killed like a monster before she could even leave the door.
She put her hands on a skateboard and went out.
This was the first time that Guan Xiaoyu had ever seen this new world through the eyes of a lowly person.
Green City was said to be built in a mountain range, but looking from the inside, apart from the fact that everyone was a fan of green, no one could tell it was any different from the ancient cities inside the movie city.
The bazaar was filled with shops, wine shops, and hawkers. Precious gems were dazzling, and the fragrance of all kinds of snacks assailed the nostrils. The flow of tourists was endless, and it seemed rather lively.
Wherever there were people, there was the martial arts world, consumption, and business opportunities.
Doing business was Guan Xiaoyu's old business, so it should not be a problem for her to find a way out.
Guan Xiaoyu had many ways to make money in her head, but her movements were inconvenient. She was going to ask Guan Si to be her ”professional manager” and use the modern knowledge she had learned. Not only would she not starve to death, she might even be able to show off her skills!
He thought happily in his heart, but unexpectedly, with a ”Clang Dang” sound, a small coin fell onto the ground beside her. It spun a few rounds before stopping.
Mass A: ”Take it to buy some food, it's really pitiful!”
Another small piece of money fell on the skateboard.
Mass B: ”How pitiful. You're already so ugly, but you're still a paralytic.”
F * ck me! Didn't I bring a big flowery cloth? How do you know I'm ugly! You still treat me like a beggar!
Err, however, Guan Xiaoyu thought about her current appearance in her mind. Wasn't it the standard beggar appearance?
A beggar!
He was penniless. Even if he wanted to do business, he would need capital, no?
Besides, there was only a small bag of fried rice and several scones left behind by the steward. It was enough to eat for a few days, but what was the point of living off of them?
This was true: a dragon swimming in shallow water will be played by shrimp, a tiger falling to the ground will be bullied by a dog, a cat will be more powerful than a tiger, a phoenix will be inferior to a chicken!
Thinking up to here, Guan Xiaoyu thanked him generously and accepted it.
The people of Mu Country can do it, but the people should live a good life, because there are still a lot of people willing to give alms.
Guan Xiaoyu was a reborn person. Being able to survive was already a good thing. In her previous life, she had just suffered from too much face and too much respect for her dignity. Therefore, there was nothing she could not let go of.
She was a cripple herself, and she did not need to deliberately mystify things. She could get half a dime in a day.
Don't look down on this small amount of money, a girl like Guan Si only had two small pieces of money a month!
From the looks of it, begging for food was a good way to earn money.
Guan Xiaoyu had accumulated some initial capital and came up with a good idea. She had wanted to discuss it with the Management Division, but they had yet to arrive.
These days, Guan Xiaoyu was still dressing as she headed out the door. While she was begging for food, she was thinking about how to pass a message to the overseer. Unexpectedly, she ran into an expert.
”Young lady, I see that you have a strange talent in bones and essence. You are a genius in martial arts. I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?”
