Chapter 2698: Street Lamp Advertisement, Visiting the Site

————Still about ten minutes left~~

————

Returning to Evereska, Xia Duo and the other investigators from the investigation team exchanged contact information, then parted ways.

He went straight to shop number eighteen in Meilong Market, placed his avatar in the Xiu Xi Shi inside the shop, then returned his consciousness to his main body to sleep and recover in the absolute safety of the Tower of Time.

He slept until the evening of the next day; unable to spare time to eat on the main body's side, he once again transferred most of his consciousness to the avatar still in Evereska.

Opening the Xiu Xi Shi, Aoruipusi was already waiting outside. Seeing Xia Duo open the door and come out, this Elf with a trace of worry between his brows immediately stepped forward to ask:

"My Lord, is everything well?"

"Everything is well, sorry to have troubled Aoruipusi to keep watch here."

Subsequently, Xia Duo asked about the progress of the Evereska city Street Lamp Advertisement renovation project over the past two days, as well as the situation regarding the recruitment of designers for the landmark building for exchanges between Daxia Territory and Evereska.

Regarding these two questions, Aoruipusi was well-prepared and immediately replied:

Having been baptized by life in Xia Ling, Aoruipusi deeply realized that what the ordinary populace of the Elf World lacked might not be the superficial welfare in life, but the universal right to education.

"By the way, Aoruipusi, what is your take on Evereska introducing the Great Xia Code?" Xia Shao suddenly changed the subject.

But if that were the case, who would actually be listened to when it came time to produce the plan?

This is a typical "don't open for three years, but eat for three years once opened" business.

But that Knowledge and power cannot be the right of the few, but should be a right that all the populace can enjoy; only this can bring about a fundamental change in the Elf World.

In fact, the customer traffic for the vast majority of shops in the north district of Meilong Market is not high, because this place is oriented toward high-end clients; it is impossible for them to crowd over to consume like ordinary Elves.

Both sides have their own ideas; Xia Shao himself does not wish to concede, and he is almost certain that his design will inevitably not satisfy the upper-class Elves.

"As for the recruitment of exhibition hall designers for the New Wind Art Exhibition, invitations have currently been sent to designers of various countries through the channels of the Northland Alliance. As of now, more than ten designers have replied, but the vast majority are from Akaola or local to Evereska."

If it is merely increasing welfare, that is of no help in changing the current situation of the lower-class populace of Elf society; no matter how much welfare the upper class issues, they always have various means to reclaim it.

Returning to a world he once found hard to part with, not only did he not feel the slightest joy, but he was even filled with oppression. If Evereska, this neutral ground, is like this, it is even harder to imagine other countries.

On the way, Xia Shao asked Aoruipusi with some curiosity, "How does it feel to return to the Elf World?"

Leaving Meilong Market, not far to the southwest is Dawn Plaza. Xia Shao did not choose to take a Flying Disk to head there, but walked with Aoruipusi instead.

Xia Shao pondered slightly, then issued an Indication: "Let the designer recruitment end here. If they are truly useful, ten-plus people are already enough; if they are not useful, having more is useless."

It is nothing more than whether or not one knows how to enjoy life; as long as one has the heart to enjoy it, one can absolutely live more comfortably than the lower class of Elves.

However, at the moment, Xia Shao and the other party are indeed discussing the living standards of ordinary people; Daxia Territory and Weier Territory are indeed not as good as Evereska by too much.

The customer traffic in the shop these days is indeed much less than at the beginning of the event, but compared to before Xia Shao came to Evereska, it is still much more.

Of course, the Reality is that Xia Shao already has a general idea of how to design the landmark building; he does not need a designer who is too famous or too aggressive.

……

Actually, the living environment of Aoruipusi in Savile Territory is not necessarily much worse than in Evereska or Keman; or rather, compared to the lower class of Elves, the upper class of humans actually does not have too much difference in terms of enjoyment.

Having settled the matter of the Elf designers, Xia Shao proposed going to see the Street Lamp Advertisement that had finished renovation. Aoruipusi naturally had no objections to this:

As long as they can produce a plan according to his ideas, it is fine; there is no need for them to invest too much personal character. Being able to come at a call like this is relatively ideal.

Later, it will also be like other shops in the north district of Meilong Market, with few customers for ten days or half a month; that is the norm.

Or rather, such a reform might end up being just another carnival for the upper class, while the shackles of the lower class become even heavier.

"My Lord, the renovation project started first from the Dawn Plaza side. Now about two streets have been renovated. If you want to see them, we can go directly."

Aoruipusi now finds it hard to understand how he lived in Keman for so long in the past. That kind of extremely oppressive life, thinking about it now, is truly unbearable for even a day.

So looking at it, the gap is a bit large.

Only Knowledge and power are real and not empty; they are things the upper class cannot take back.

And Aoruipusi, at Xia Shao's side, although not considered absolute upper class, at least enjoys the treatment of a guest of honor. In a sense, this treatment is not a bit worse than the upper class.

This has to do with productivity; the productivity of Daxia Territory—which in this world is actually Magic—has not universally benefited the lives of the populace.

Regardless of food, clothing, or daily expenses, as long as Xia Shao has it, Aoruipusi and even his large family will not lack for it.

"The Evereska city Street Lamp Advertisement renovation project has started one after another. If there are no accidents, it should be fully completed by the end of the month, but the site selection and construction for more advertising spaces later will need more discussion with the Evereska side."

Subsequently, Xia Shao and Aoruipusi walked out the back door together. Although the free trial activity of the Time Tower Chamber of Commerce Void Warehouse has stopped these days, the activity of recommending new customers to increase usage duration is still ongoing.

The Void Warehouse is quite special, oriented toward what can be considered true high-end clients, and the payment cycle is relatively long; the current heat actually cannot last long.

"That is a good thing, but I seriously doubt whether the Evereska side can completely inherit the true legislative spirit of the Great Xia Code!"

In a word, Aoruipusi does not think highly of Evereska's reform.

Those who did not reply are either putting on airs or looking down on such a project led by humans. If Xia Shao were willing to think of a way, perhaps he could find some more famous or more capable designers.

And the designers, or rather artists, of the Elf World are mostly from the upper class; in such a situation, there is even less need to go to great lengths to invite them.

……

"Hmm."

However, there is one point: Daxia Territory is something Evereska and any Elf country cannot compare to, which is that the political status of ordinary people is far beyond that of ordinary Elf people.

……

"Although the material conditions in Savile Territory and Daxia Territory are not as good as here, I believe it won't be long before we can catch up quickly. I have a lot of confidence in you, My Lord!"

"Actually, it's just like that. Aside from being more convenient in life, everything else is not as comfortable as staying in Savile Territory!" Aoruipusi's eyes revealed a trace of loneliness.

"Is that so!"
