Chapter 730: Chapter 725: Green Race
Outside Earth’s atmosphere, only Speaker Wan’s small starship and the Spiritual Energy projection of Discarding and Letting Go remained.
"Things here are almost settled. Actually, there aren’t many Evolvers from Earth still active in the Silver Heart Great World, and they haven’t formed any significant force, making them relatively easy to handle," said Discarding and Letting Go.
"Luckily, you were here, otherwise the negotiations wouldn’t have been possible... Alas, strength rules," Speaker Wan shook his head.
Discarding and Letting Go said blandly, "This motley crew is just a minor hassle. The real problem is the Burning Ash Organization. Those lunatics are unreasonable. Whether they’ll target Earth as the new mother planet for the Yazd People... it’s really hard to say."
After a pause, Discarding and Letting Go continued, "Give me Gangxin’s Gaia Mark number. I need to negotiate with Burning Ash and need to be able to contact Gangxin at any time."
"Alright."
...
Silver Heart Continent.
Outer City District of Lingshu City, Baihui District, Frosty Spirit Plants Shop.
"Here’s the young ’Ta Song’ seedling you wanted, along with its care manual. Please take care of them."
"Dear customer, the ’Purifying Spirit Vine’ you wanted is sold out, I’m very sorry! I’ll register you right away, and the new Purifying Spirit Vine will arrive within ten days. I’ll send it directly to your Spiritual Essence logistics email; could you leave an email number for convenience?"
After dealing with the customers at the front desk, Bai Pu carried a small watering can and began to spray each spirit plant on the shelves to maintain their appearance.
"Little Bai, you’ve worked hard."
Aunt Mu’s voice rang out, seeing Bai Pu keeping the spirit plant shop neat and orderly, she couldn’t help but feel emotional, "It was truly the right decision to keep you back then."
"Haha, of course, I have a good eye. Recently, the customer flow in the shop has noticeably increased, all thanks to Little Bai’s face," Uncle Mu laughed heartily.
Aunt Mu complained, "What, are you saying my face doesn’t work?"
"No, no." Uncle Mu quickly clarified, "It’s just that most of the spirit plant buyers are girls, opposite attracts you know. Besides, Little Bai’s face is a killer for young girls."
Bai Pu smiled and shook his head, handing over the list: "Uncle Mu, the list of newly ordered spirit plants, the customers have arranged to pick them up in the store."
"Tsk, tsk."
Looking at the long list, Uncle Mu clicked his tongue and said, "Isn’t Spiritual Essence logistics convenient to use? Why do so many people choose to pick up in-store? I think they’re coming for you, the store clerk."
"After all, Spiritual Essence logistics costs money..."
Bai Pu explained with a smile, then tentatively asked, "Uncle Mu, this is the Outer City District, right? What is the Inner City District of Lingshu City like?"
Bai Pu’s temporary ID couldn’t communicate with others on the Gaia Network, so the information he could gather was limited. He only knew bits and pieces about the Inner City District of Lingshu City and could only inquire from Uncle Mu.
"The Inner City is in the sky, we, the residents of the Outer City, can’t easily enter."
Uncle Mu pointed to the sky in the northwest.
Bai Pu looked up but was blocked by tall buildings. Through the gaps between the buildings, he could only see layers of white clouds.
"Haha, don’t look. The entire Inner City is protected by a ’Phase Crystal Barrier,’ floating high in the sky. The only way from the Outer City to the Inner City is through twelve high-altitude Chidao... without an Inner City car plate, you can’t even enter the checkpoints of Chidao."
Bai Pu finally understood why no one came to question him, a "black household," living so easily in Lingshu City.
It turns out the truly upscale area of Lingshu City is the Inner City, and the authorities don’t bother to strictly control the Outer City, taking a laissez-faire attitude.
It seems the Silver Heart Council Bai Pu is looking for is also in the Inner City.
Bai Pu hesitated and said, "Then how do people from the Outer City get to the Inner City?"
"You must have someone from the Inner City take you in," Uncle Mu looked at Bai Pu, "What, want to take a look at the Inner City?"
Bai Pu nodded.
"Haha, the Inner City is indeed a good place." Uncle Mu looked nostalgic, "I went there once with a client and nearly got dazzled. If you settle in the Inner City, your descendants benefit immensely. It’s a shame that such a place is beyond the dreams of us commoners."
The "commoners" Uncle Mu referred to are the commoners of the Silver Heart Continent, those who are powerless, without status, and without money.
The commoner class of the Silver Heart Continent includes ordinary people, a large number of ordinary Awakened, and many mediocre Evolvers.
Even within this class, there are levels of status.
Ordinary people who haven’t awakened have the lowest status.
Ordinary Awakened without background dig deep into their sub-professions to get ahead, like Uncle Mu, whose status is reasonably good.
And those who manage to cross the Ascension Plane but have average templates, known as "mediocre Evolvers," have a higher status than Uncle Mu, getting unincorporated jobs—like the two guards at the Star Gate Barrier.
Just as Bai Pu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a fresh aura surge in.
Then, a clear female voice rang out:
"Old Mu, has my Linglong Flower arrived?"
Bai Pu turned to the voice and was slightly stunned.
The visitor was a tall young girl with graduated green hair, dark green roots transitioning to light green tips.
Her pupils were lake green, her skin snow-white, exuding an aura of fresh grass and wood.
She looked just like an "Elf" from a Western fantasy film.
"Ah! Honorable Miss Salacia, hello, hello."
Old Mu was a bit flustered, his face filled with smiles, "I specially brought back three pots of Linglong Flowers for you from the Illusion Wood Star, waiting for you to choose from."
As he spoke, Old Mu nudged Bai Pu beside him, "Little Bai, this is a big personality from the Silver Wind Clan in the Inner City... Quickly, go get the three pots of Linglong Flowers from the care room."
So, this elf-like young girl came from the Inner City?
Bai Pu didn’t have time to think about why a noble girl from the Inner City would visit a small shop in the Outer City; he immediately went to the care room.
Aunt Mu walked with him, whispering as they went: "Miss Salacia is a Swift Tree Person from the Mangites Swift Tree Star. Their race is also nicknamed ’Green Race.’ How about it, you haven’t seen such a person on Earth, have you?"
Bai Pu grinned: "Indeed, I haven’t. There are only three main human races on Earth: Caucasian, East Asian, and Black."
"You’re mistaken; the Caucasian, East Asian, and Black people on Earth are classified as the same race because there’s almost no difference in racial talents. Whether they’re different races depends on the racial talents. Earth People, and the many human groups in the Cosmic Human Race domain, lack special racial talents and are all called ’Ordinary Races.’
"The Green Race from Mangites, the Red Race from Yazd, however, have unique specialization talents and are ’Pure Blood Races.’ They originate from the same planet and are more united, holding great power on the Silver Heart Continent.
"Of course, whether mixed-blood or pure-blood, they’re all branches of the human race."
Contrary to her usual taciturn nature, Aunt Mu enthusiastically introduced Bai Pu.
