Forsaken Immortals-Chapter 332: The World is Unfair
Chapter 332: The World is Unfair
Bai Rouyun was not a person who would suffer hardships if they could be ignored, but she also did not see any need to be wasteful, so after hearing the many descriptions from the clerk, she was very satisfied with the room she had picked.
She quickly followed behind the young clerk as he led her to the second floor where the small individual rooms were located. Upon stepping foot on the second floor, Bai Rouyun quickly realized that the clerk had not lied at all, and that the materials used here were equal to those used in the rest of the inn.
There were doors on both sides of the hallway, and while the distance between each door was not big, it was not small either. It was clear that these rooms were small but not cramped.
The room that had been allocated to Bai Rouyun was just before reaching the middle of the hallway, and as they walked down the corridor, she had looked at the various rooms, only to find that many of them were already occupied.
Even though she was not considered powerful yet, she could still sense the faint energy fluctuations that were created by the protective formations, and she could not help but marvel at the effort this inn had gone through to provide the best environment for resting, both security and quality-wise.
"This is the token that will activate the formation. There is only one token, and if it is lost, the formation will have to be forcefully removed. This will be very expensive, and the cost has to be covered by you, as the guest.
"The reason for only one token is that many are not comfortable if the staff has access to their rooms, as some might be bribed or act unfavorably towards those resting in our inns in other ways.
"This extra level of security is naturally a double-edged sword that can both bring security, but also heavy losses if you lose the token."
Bai Rouyun understood that if the customer wanted complete security, then the cost would be equally high, and she quickly accepted the token, before seemingly putting it in her qiankun bag, but really tossing it into the Primal Chaos Dimension. Nothing would be stolen from there, unless she was dead, and then the cost of replacing the formation would no longer be her issue.
The clerk was very pleased to see how simply Bai Rouyun accepted the token and the cost that came with it. Although she was using a cheap room, she was still not lavish, and he felt quite satisfied with her frugal behavior.
However, although he was appreciating someone who lived frugally, Bai Rouyun was not one who cared much about such things. The only reason she had picked the small room was because she would be resting in the Primal Chaos Dimension anyway, and that none of the rooms here would be able to rival the comfort and luxury she could have in her own domain.
To Bai Rouyun, it did not matter if a person wished to live lavishly or frugally. As long as the wealth used belonged to the person who spent it, she was not in a position to comment.
She could understand that this guy was looking at wealth in another way than those who had been raised with a silver spoon in their mouths. She, too, had experienced what it was like to not even have enough money to pay for a daily meal, but it did not mean that she felt that she had the right to comment on how others used their money.
Many things had happened, and Bai Rouyun had understood the truth long ago. The world was not fair, and although everything was said to be solely based on innate talent, this was not the truth.
If a genius with a good talent was born in a rich family, then they would be able to progress much swifter than a genius born to a poor family. The resources available would be different depending on the background, and their abilities and methods would also vary.
The world was not fair, and you could not look at others from your own point in life.
Yes, this clerk was a person who deserved to be admired for his ability to earn money and cultivate without pressuring his family, but at the same time, he was also overstepping by trying to judge the customer based on how much they cared about their money.
For what reason should the customers save money? The money would not breed and give birth to more money by being stored for eternity, so using them to gain a more comfortable lifestyle was not wrong.
Bai Rouyun had understood this when she became friends with Xue Jingyu in her past life. He was a rich heir to a huge family that owned most of the important businesses in the lower realm, but she quickly understood that what he could do easily was something she would not be able to do for her whole life.
Like this, Bai Rouyun did not want to spend more time on this young man. She quickly thanked him for his assistance and gave him a few red spirit coins in return for his help, before she entered the room and activated the formation.
The young man, who had received the coins, could not help but feel a little complicated. He understood right away that this young woman was new to the Wushi Continent, as no one would ever tip this much to a simple clerk like him, but she still booked such a low-key room.
Could it be that her identity was much more noble than any of the other guests? Could it be that she came from the immortal realm?
His eyes flashed as he considered his future actions. He quickly tightened his grasp on the coins in his hand, before he hurried downstairs to sit behind the counter once more.
