I created the world

Chen Luo was not in a hurry, he walked slowly in Carlo City, admiring the style of this southern port city.
Unlike the various architectural styles of Biba City, most of the buildings here are magnificent and magnificent, exuding an aura of explosive wealth.
The houses and buildings here are generally seven or eight meters high, almost three stories high.
And the tallest building in the city is of course the kingdom of the Ansino royal family. The main hall there is nearly [-] meters high. Even Chen Luo can see the magnificent palace complex at the gate of the city at this time.
In terms of the current construction technology of Western Fantasy World, it has reached the extreme that human beings can do at present.
The style of the royal palace is roughly close to the Gothic palaces of the European Middle Ages, and the Florentine-style construction makes Chen Luo feel like he has traveled to the European Middle Ages.
But the prosperity of Carlo City is many times more than those cities in the Middle Ages in Europe.
Merchant ships traveling from the west coast of the mainland to the east coast, or from the east coast to the west coast, will stop at Carlo City after a long voyage.
This also made Carlo City a gathering point for the trade between the east and the west of the mainland. A large number of chambers of commerce gathered here, which made the city rich shortly after the nautical trade took off.
Now Carlo City handles a large amount of goods every day. There are more than 10 workers and slaves busy at the port alone, and there are countless people serving the port.
Chen Luo spent half a day browsing around Kaluo City, and also saw the dozens of temples.
After appreciating the style of the city, he already had a rough plan in mind.
Chapter 269 I Want to Live
After dark, Chen Luo found a random hotel in Carlo City and stayed in it, choosing a luxury room on the top floor.
In this city, not only the Ansino royal family, nobles and priests are rich, but most of the merchants are actually very rich.
Because they are running for money, in order to get the money out of the pockets of the ruling class, businessmen have used their endless imagination and provided many services that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
For example, the luxury suites in this hotel now provide bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and even beautiful maids to provide services at any time.
These maids provide guests with things like changing clothes, bathing, washing feet and putting on shoes. Of course, you can also make other requests, as long as you can afford it.
And the room Chen Luo lives in now costs fifty gold coins a night, which is almost equivalent to 10 RMB outside if calculated according to currency exchange.
After Chen Luo waved the maid in the room to leave, he walked to the balcony and looked at the night view of Carlo City.
The hotel is more than 30 meters high. From this angle, the buildings in the city are undulating, and the lights are bright everywhere. It seems that it is more lively than during the day.
Chen Luo looked at it for a while, and when he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he suddenly heard a strange movement from downstairs.
Chen Luo stopped and looked into the alley on the left.
The night and sight were naturally no problem for Chen Luo, he saw the situation below at a glance.
A thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old was trying to find something in the garbage dump in the alley.
His face was so dark that he couldn't see his true colors at all. The clothes on his body should have been an adult's, but it wrapped around him like a long robe.
At this time, the clothes were torn into shape, almost a few larger pieces of rags wrapped around the body with cloth strips.
The boy's exposed skin was also pitch black, and there were wounds in many places, and some were festered.
He picked up the cold garbage with both hands, carefully sorted out the garbage one by one, and then threw it aside, looking for the food that hardly existed.
Chen Luo didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, he just watched quietly.
Like Biba City, there is also a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Carlo City. The rich can enjoy a luxurious life, while the poor can only struggle at the bottom of society, and many of them eventually become beggars.
No matter in which era, which society will exist.
Everyone has their own destiny. Although Chen Luo is a god here, he doesn't have so much love that he wants to save someone when he sees suffering.
No matter how hard the boy worked in the garbage dump, he still got nothing, but the expression on his face was very calm, as if he had expected it.
He hadn't eaten for three days. If he couldn't find something to eat today, he might starve to death before dawn.
This hotel is one of the high-end hotels in Carlo City, and the food that guests can't finish is often thrown out by the people in the hotel.
But in the city, even if they were looking for food in the garbage, there would be a group of beggars stronger than him who would search first. When they couldn't find food, it would be the turn of a lone person like the boy.
"I want to live! I want to live!"
The young man refused to give up because of his extreme desire for survival. He kept digging through the garbage, and many wounds on his body were opened again due to too much force, oozing blood, but he didn't realize it.
Soon, the boy searched through the entire garbage dump, but still found nothing.
Just when the young man finally showed a hint of despair, a piece flew out from the window of a room on a certain floor of the hotel, and then fell to the ground.
"Dad! I want chicken legs, I don't want bread!"
A childish voice came from that room.
"Okay, okay, I'll get someone to send chicken drumsticks to the baby right away. Be good, don't be angry."
......
The young man stared at the piece of bread on the ground, his eyes widened, and he suddenly rushed towards the piece of bread on the ground with extreme sensitivity.
At this time, Chen Luo was a little surprised. After the boy got the fist-sized piece of bread, he didn't eat it right away, but carefully hid it in his clothes.
Then he glanced up at the window through which the loaf had just flown, as if waiting for the possibility of another loaf falling.
After waiting for a while, the boy determined that it was impossible to pick up any more food, so he dragged his weak body and ran out of the alley, but he still didn't eat the piece of bread.
Chen Luo's mind instantly locked on the boy, wanting to see where the boy, who had been hungry for three days, wanted to go when he took this piece and finally got it.
The boy hadn't run very far, but because of lack of energy, he had to slow down.
Twenty minutes later, the boy came to a deserted house outside the city.
At this time, he suddenly ran wildly, and when he rushed into the house that was about to collapse at any time, he shouted while running, "Oliver! Oliver! I found something to eat!"
When the young man entered, he was stunned for a moment, because a group of young men in the same ragged clothes were staring at him with bright eyes.
Behind the group of young beggars, there was another young man covered in blood, lying on the ground crying in pain.
"Hey, boss, let me tell you that this bastard, An Mixiu, can always find something to eat! He can't go wrong squatting here!"
The boy with the strongest body first patted the speaker's shoulder, then lazily turned to An Mixiu, stepped on Oliver's chest and said, "Take out the food!"
An Mixiu froze in place. He watched Oliver struggling in pain and fell to the ground, and slowly took out the piece of bread hidden in his arms.
He knew very well that if he didn't take out the bread, that person would kill Oliver without hesitation.
Even among beggars, there is also competition and plundering, and even killing is nothing new!
