Chapter 470: Chapter 331 Incitement_2

Li Yi simply walked up to the bar counter, and then with a wave of his hand, a bottle of alcohol was wrapped by Gang Qi and brought to his grasp. He turned around calmly, opened the bottle, and then took a sniff before calmly pouring the liquor onto the ground.

A mixed and strange smell of alcohol wafted out.

"Is this what the gangs in Philadelphia usually drink? Beverages with a hint of sewer? Aren’t you worried about getting heavy metal poisoning from drinking too much of this? Or have you grown so accustomed to living here that you can no longer smell it?"

As Li Yi spoke, he took out a bottle of red wine from his Magic Artifact storage.

He then let it drop.

The red wine flew out, landed on the ground, and instantly splattered all over like blood, its fruity and woody scent spreading charmingly and pervasively.

For a moment, even the murky air seemed sweet, intoxicating those who smelled it.

Clearly, this was a bottle of top-grade wine.

Some gang members who liked to drink couldn’t help but lick their lips at the sight of the gemstone-like red wine on the ground.

Why smash such good wine? It was such a waste.

Not just the gang members—even several gang leaders who smelled the aroma now felt like the stuff in their hands was no better than industrial waste. They wondered what they were thinking, daring to drink such stuff.

"This is the wine usually drunk by the upper-class nobles of the Genetic Federation. Made from sweet grapes as the raw material, crafted with a very primitive process, they reject any mechanical processing. Even the harvesting forbids the use of intelligent robots. Moreover, the finished wine needs to be fermented in oak barrels for more than ten years. Do you know what an oak barrel is? It is made from an oak tree that grew in the forest for more than ten years. The wine stored in it carries a natural fragrance. And such a bottle of wine—no matter how hard you work all your life, you won’t be able to afford it."

"No, you’ve never even heard of it, because you don’t know what grapes are, and you’ve certainly never seen an oak, since Philadelphia doesn’t even have a decent tree."

"But the precious wines that you’ve never seen or tasted in your life, some nobles even pour it into bathtubs for their baths. In their places of residence, even the sewers emit the fragrance of wine."

In just a few sentences, Li Yi sketched out the life of a group of nobles drowning in luxury and indulgence.

Such a life evokes envy, jealousy, and even shock.

Because these things had never appeared on screens or in knowledge bases, Li Yi was right. They had never seen grapes or oak trees that had grown for more than a decade, and they could not even fathom that such precious wine would be used for baths, with its fragrance permeating even the sewers.

As everyone watched the spreading pool of red wine and smelled the intoxicating aroma, their minds conjured up many images.

And this also caused an inexplicable agitation in their hearts.

Hei Shi licked his lips, a dryness in his throat as he asked, "Where did you buy this top-grade noble wine?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Buy? They categorize the best things by class, only nobles and top-level warriors are qualified to purchase. Even if you are wealthy, you can’t buy such a bottle of wine. So I chose a different method to obtain it: robbery."

"I’ve found that snatching a bottle of wine is much easier than buying it. So very quickly, I got to taste such wine, experiencing the noble lifestyle. Turns out, the thing you dream of isn’t that hard to obtain after all."

"Robbing a noble? Are you not afraid of dying? The Genetic Federation won’t let you off," Ke Fei, tall and skinny, sneered.

"People are all the same. The lives of the nobles are much more precious than yours. Aren’t they afraid of death too? When you confront a noble, they will plead, they will be afraid, they may even cry... Their weakness might not even match that of the Mama Gang’s kids. As for the Genetic Federation, if you fear it, then it has achieved its goal."

"Fear and power are just planted in your minds, not in your genes. A long-standing fear makes you entirely lose the will to resist, but in my view, people should not fear the Federation; the Federation should fear the people."

Once these words were spoken, everyone’s breathing grew heavier. These low-level gang members, looking at Li Yi, gleamed with a strange light in their eyes.

As if some shackling force on their body and mind had been cleaved upon.

A long-suppressed something was awakened, following some kind of calling.

Hong Zhen looked at Li Yi, now with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

She knew Li Yi was part of the resistance, so she didn’t plan on getting involved with him. She just wanted to capitalize on the chaos to get the genetic medicine, gain access to the life-restoration chamber, heal her injuries, and become a level-four warrior again, then take the chance to escape. That way, when the Genetic Federation sought revenge, it wouldn’t fall on her.

But now, after hearing these words, she felt a trembling sensation.

"Enough. Our purpose here was for the genetic medicine, not to listen to your lecture. If you don’t have the genetic medicine, then we should just leave," Hei Shi growled. He sensed that the person in front of him was extraordinary and very dangerous.
