Chapter VII Society and the Current Situation

Half a day is definitely not enough to visit the huge Bela Oca, so Alex only took Chen An to visit the more famous places in the local area, and by the way, a general introduction to the general situation of each area of Bela Oca, like many medieval cities, basically each urban area is strictly planned with different characteristic classes, among which the special status of the temple often occupies the center of the city.

Under Alex's guidance, Chen An has seen many temples of different styles from afar, and these temples are like stars holding the moon around a majestic Mayan pyramid, with a long sloping staircase leading to the top of the temple in the center of the four towers. According to Alex, this is a demon sealing tower dedicated to suppressing the abyssal cracks, and was originally built to prevent the monsters leaking from the abyssal cracks from accidentally escaping and harming the world.

In front of him near the so-called Demon Sealing Tower and the stairs, Chen An saw many heavily armed people, regardless of race, men and women who were like warriors, when he asked about the identity of these people, Alex looked at them with envy and told them, these are the gods of various temples, they all appeared here to eliminate the monsters leaking from the abyss crack under the Demon Sealing Tower.

Aren't they afraid of death? Besides, placing the Demon Sealing Tower that suppresses the cracks in the abyss in the center of the city is not afraid of the huge disaster caused by the seal getting out of control? Thinking of this, Chen An immediately expressed the doubts in his heart.

However, Alex patiently explained that it is a supreme honor to become a god in the first place, and it is one of the responsibilities of a god to destroy the monsters of the Demon Tower, and that the gods who have received the gifts of the gods often have superhuman strength, and in the process of destroying the monsters, their strength will continue to increase, which can greatly reduce their own dangers.

Not only that, but there is an abyss chip in every demon object that is destroyed, and the gods can go to the temple of faith through these abyss chips to exchange for various money and materials, thus solving the economic resources of the gods.

In today's era of clear class divisions, if ordinary people want to change their destiny in a way, becoming a god is definitely the fastest shortcut, so it's no wonder that Alex dreams of becoming a god so much.

Understanding the reason, Chen An couldn't help but think of the imperial examination in ancient times, in fact, the results of both were the same, nothing more than providing an opportunity for ordinary people to change their fate.

Regarding the layout of the Demon Sealing Tower, Alex smiled and sent it away with a sentence.

If there is really a situation where the seal is out of control, no matter where they are, they will not be able to escape, what difference does it make if they die early or late? At least the Demon Sealing Tower is under their noses, and they know what is happening.

After leaving the temple and the Demon Sealing Tower, the two visited several interesting places in a row, among which Chen An felt that the biggest gain was that he discovered that Bela Oka actually had a private library.

However, the library charges a lot of money, the entrance fee alone costs a silver dinar, and if you take the borrowed books out, you need not only an expensive deposit, but also have to be guaranteed by a local celebrity.

As a lover of reading and wanting to have an in-depth understanding of the current world social situation, Chen An's discovery of the library was a real surprise.

When evening came, Chen An and Alex returned to the chamber of commerce, and after agreeing on the time of their next meeting, the two separated.

In the chamber of commerce, Mr. Ackerman had been waiting for a long time, and after arranging Chen An's food and lodging and emphasizing tomorrow's working hours, he couldn't wait to leave the chamber of commerce.

Chen An's accommodation is extremely simple, in the corner of the merchant's warehouse, where some wooden planks are used like a fence to divide an almost enclosed space as a room, the room is randomly placed more than a dozen compact wooden beds, around the mess of clutter, the scene can be described as a mess, recalling that the same humble six-person dormitory in the university is simply a paradise.

When Chen An saw the scene of the "dormitory", he was ready to turn around and leave, but due to realistic considerations, he had to accept it patiently, if he wanted to change the current status quo, he must first accumulate enough money to live independently outside.

Chen An is not the only one who stays here, there are also other employees of the Chamber of Commerce, but these people are all insignificant low-level workers in the Chamber of Commerce without exception.

Out of personal hygiene, Chen An pinched his nose and began to clean up the room, and when he was almost tidyed, the other accommodation workers also returned.

The initial meeting scene between them was not ideal, and in the eyes of these workers, Chen An, who had cleaned up the room, not only did not gain any kindness, but was sneered at by the workers and squeamished him like a girl.

Words are not speculative, more than half a sentence, and the Tao is not the same.

Chen An is reluctant to care too much in the face of the malicious treatment of the workers, although he does have some anger in his heart, he understands that anger cannot change the status quo, cannot solve the problem, and in the end it is purely to punish himself for the mistakes of others.

Ordinary people may use violence to resolve disputes out of anger, but in Chen's view, violence is the last resort and will only be resorted to as a last resort. In the current situation, it is the self that suffers as a result of violent means.

In fact, the living environment similar to the Middle Ages in another world is not as beautiful as imagined, and even in terms of comfort and convenience, it is not comparable to the modern earth, even if you are born in a rich and noble family, but most of the time you will miss the life of the earth very much.

Life is never easy, and the quality of life depends on a person's choices and attitudes, in the final analysis, no matter what kind of world it is, talent is the decisive factor. For example, anyone who can achieve something in a certain field on earth will not mix too badly even in another world, on the contrary, if he does nothing all day long, does nothing and only daydreams, will not change anything in any world.

Chen An is a self-aware person, in a strange world, how to ensure survival is his primary consideration, all unrealistic fantasies are excluded, as for the future, he has no clue for the time being, after all, a person's fate depends on self-struggle, but also to consider the process of history.
