Once you fall asleep, there's a good chance you'll never wake up again.

The pressure to survive had left him with no other thoughts.

"Tomorrow, I must find a day-wage job, no matter what it is."

"Just to find a job and get any food."

"I can live for the last few days."

Two days of the week have already passed, and there are still five days left.

With enough food and some fuel, you can light a fire.

He can tough it out and make it through the remaining five days.

I want him dead...

“Impossible. If all else fails, I can use some special methods.” The nobleman looked into the distance, where a few lights were still flickering in the windows.

Clearly, although resources are scarce in the lower city, there are always some people who manage to acquire them and survive.

"If I can't obtain resources, then when necessary, I can seize resources from others!" The nobleman carefully considered the possibility of this.

Although robbery is undignified for nobles, they only robbed the lower classes.

It's okay to lose a little dignity.

Anyway, he wouldn't consider it a moral issue.

When he woke up the next day, he stretched his stiff body and then went to look for a job.

However, they found that the snow was even thicker.

At the same time, a grayish-green mist was spreading in the air in the distance, and that mist was approaching him.

"What is that?" The nobleman stared blankly at the mist, not understanding what it was, but he knew that the mist was not a good thing.

"Sewage Discharge Day..." The eldest princess looked at all this with a livid face.

Since her moral compass collapsed, she has devoted herself entirely to these matters, and has sought out people to specifically learn about all sorts of things happening in the lower district.

The so-called Sewage Discharge Day is a day each month when the people of the Upper Town send all the garbage from the Upper Town to the Lower Town and use a special blessed treasure to crush the garbage.

The pulverized waste forms this grayish-green mist.

Normally, these fogs would be contained in an underground structure during the treatment process.

Once the fog settles, it will form a special type of soil.

These soils, once properly buried, will not cause pollution.

However, that building fell into disrepair a few years ago.

For some reason, no one has been able to fix it.

In addition, this fog was mostly blowing towards the lower city area.

So nobody cared.

Throughout the day, no one in the lower town dared to go out, and they would keep their doors and windows tightly closed, paying close attention to the whereabouts of their gray-green mist.

This substance becomes less harmful after settling, but in its misty state, inhaling too much can cause various health problems.

Seeing this scene, he'd be lucky to survive in this dilapidated house, let alone find a job today.

The nobleman frowned and prepared to 'rob' the place.

He first went to his neighbor's house to ask if they could take him in.

However, the only answer I received was "Get lost!"

At the same time, he could also hear the sounds of people in the room taking things out of their pockets.

"A bunch of lowly, despicable people, how could they be so heartless?" the nobleman thought to himself, and felt no guilt whatsoever about robbing them.

"Sir, please help me! I really just want to stay for one more day!" The nobleman said, trying to lower the guard of the people inside the house while preparing to launch a sneak attack.

In his view, the reason he was in such a miserable state was not because of his lack of ability, but because he had arrived here suddenly and lacked understanding of the lower city.

If he has the starting status and resources, then he can accumulate wealth very quickly.

Even if one cannot become a nobleman, one can still become a wealthy merchant.

Now that he has chosen to set aside some of the dignity of the nobility, he can easily defeat these lower-class people with his wisdom and methods.

"Stop harassing me in front of my house."

"I've seen plenty of people like you," the person inside the room said coldly.

"Fine, fine, fine." The nobleman pretended to be angry and picked up a stone to smash the door.

In reality, he was secretly listening to the sounds coming from inside the house.

Hearing footsteps approaching, he turned and hid in a snow pit that had been dug earlier.

The pit could not be observed from the doorway or windows of the other party's house.

At the same time, observe the gray-green fog in the distance.

The fog was still some distance away from him.

It's estimated that it will float over to him in less than ten minutes.

After the door was opened, no one came out. After looking around and not seeing anyone, he cursed a few times and closed the door again.

Upon seeing this, the nobleman smiled.

Then he lowered his pace and went to the door to bang on it.

Then they heard footsteps approaching quickly from inside the house.

The nobleman immediately hid in the snow pit.

After opening the door, the man cursed a few more times, then chased after the nobleman and looked around. Finding no trace of him, he retreated back inside.

The third time, the nobleman first dug up a corpse in the snow, stood it up, and disguised it as himself.

Get closer to the house and tap the wall with a flicking motion.

This third time, the other party's anger will reach its peak.

They might chase after him recklessly, while you hide to the side and knock him unconscious with a single rock.

The other person's house and food will all be his!

Sure enough, the footsteps inside quickly approached the next moment.

The door suddenly opened.

Then a figure walked out from inside the door.

The nobleman laughed, thinking the other party was too foolish.

He swung the stone in his hand, about to smash it into the figure's head.

However, the moment the stone hit the ground, he felt that the stone in his hand did not land firmly.

Only then did he realize that the figure that had emerged was just a scarecrow made of sticks, straw, and clothes!

Before he could even panic, he was grabbed by a large hand.

Then a powerful slap landed on his face.

"I've seen plenty of people like you!" Many people in the lower city have actually abandoned all morality.

Some immoral people will do anything to survive.

Anyone who can live in the lower city for a long time must be shameless and ruthless.

The little tricks the nobles used were, frankly, far too obvious.

"Since you've attacked me, then you're out of luck!" The man smiled at the nobleman, then grabbed the nobleman's body and dragged him into the room.

Although it's unclear what will happen, a bad feeling has already set in.

"I surrender! I surrender!!"

As he uttered the words of surrender, the king took out the Golden Fleece and admitted that he had lost the bet.

Chapter 601 The First Witch

This competition has attracted a lot of attention in the past few days.

The reason for this lies in what the nobleman said earlier—that the people in the lower city are in such a miserable state entirely because they themselves do not work hard and have no morals.

With just this one sentence, the problems of the nobles were completely overshadowed.

The nobleman's behavior these past few days has been observed by everyone.

The other party was originally considered a promising young man among the nobility.

However, after entering the lower city as an ordinary person, he behaved so poorly.

If they hadn't admitted defeat in time, they might have been sold off like piglets to be abused by others.

That's right, the person that the nobleman planned to attack was a member of a certain noble family's shady business.

Some nobles had a penchant for male beauty, so he specially selected 'pets' for these people.

That's right. Those who are chosen will undergo certain modifications and then completely lose their right to be human.

So even though they still look like men, those powerful guys can play with these pets without feeling any guilt.

Just like humans don't feel guilty for hitting a plush toy a couple of times.

From this perspective, the purpose of this gamble was to shatter the sense of superiority that the nobility derived from their bloodline.

It was as if the shepherd was pointing his finger at them and saying, "You bastards, you're nothing special!"

This outburst not only humiliated and angered them, but also gradually trampled on the dignity that belonged to the nobility.

The nobleman who had been rescued had been forgotten by everyone.

What awaits him next are some less-than-honorable things.

Because he chose something undignified, and most importantly, he hasn't succeeded because of that undignified choice.

If he succeeds, then his methods will only be a harmless little joke, something to tease him about.

But he failed.

The meaning of everything has naturally changed.

But this is a minor matter now.

The real problem lies on the other side.

"I believe that the nobility has failed in their duty to govern the world."

“At least many things could have been avoided, but the nobles failed to do so and instead became part of the problem.”

"This goes against the original intention of the god Nia in giving you divine power!" The shepherd's words caused many people's expressions to change.

"We need to deal with invasions from outside the world, but our people are struggling to even survive."

“Therefore, the nobility must change.” The shepherd bluntly stated his purpose.

“That’s not how it’s said,” a nobleman immediately retorted. “We nobles are just focusing our efforts on our tasks and haven’t taken them into consideration.”

"The kingdom's army has grown increasingly powerful over the years, and the strength of the noble members has also been steadily increasing..."

"To be promoted to this level?" The beast smiled and pointed at the nobleman from before.

The faces of all the nobles immediately darkened.

"He's just an isolated case!" one nobleman said, directly denying the fact that the man had once been an outstanding young nobleman.

"But no matter what, you have not achieved your intended purpose."

“Govern this world well, make most people moral, and make the world stable.” The shepherd looked at the king and the nobles and asked seriously, “Ask yourselves whether you have done it.”

“According to the oracle of the god Nia, an enemy from beyond the world is approaching. If this continues, the enemy will not be as merciful as the god Nia,” the shepherd said earnestly.

The king listened to these words, but his expression remained unchanged, and he did not react in any way.

The other nobles, however, looked increasingly grim.
