Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

"Hey! Stop the car!" On the side of Line 1, a thin female orc was holding a cute little cub and waving at an exquisite carriage in front.

The driver was a dark-skinned, skinny male orc. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of sparkling white teeth. "Hello, both of you. Where are you going?"

The female orc first carefully carried the child into the car, then picked up the two heavy packages on the ground and said to the male orc, "We are going to the City of Enlightenment. Thank you for your help."

The male orc smiled and nodded to show that he understood. After the two people in the car were seated firmly, he raised the whip in his hand and swung it hard. With a crisp "snap" sound, it hit the horse's back. The horse, feeling the pain, immediately spread its four hooves and galloped forward like an arrow.

Such scenes are common on this road. In recent years, Qiming City has carried out in-depth exchanges with many tribes and opened up many convenient roads. Due to the smooth roads, Qiming City's reputation has become more and more famous, and many tribes are proud to cooperate with Qiming City. Now most of these carriages come from Qiming City. They frequently shuttle between various tribes, picking up guests coming and going.

"Are you going to the City of Enlightenment to study?" the male orc driving the car asked curiously.

"That's right! After our tribe opened Line 1 last year, the chief gathered all the young orcs and sent them to the City of Enlightenment for education. And my cub is now a first-grade orc! He will start learning to use weapons next year, so I plan to go to the City of Enlightenment with him to buy the weapons he needs for school. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to stroll around the city and have a look." The female orc gently stroked the head of the little cub beside her, and the little cub raised his head and rubbed the female father's palm gently with his head.

"Hey! Your child is about to enter the first grade? That's the same age as my child!" The male beastman was happy. His child also went to school in Qiming City. He was very small in size and used to rely on hunting for a living. He often went hungry. Later, he came to Qiming City and became a coachman. He had a stable job. The food he earned every day was twice what he got from hunting before. The whole family could eat and his children could go to school. In the past, he would never have dared to think about the life he is living now.

"Really? Which class is your child in? Maybe he is a classmate of mine!" asked the female orc in surprise.

"Alas, my child is in Class 2, and his love of play makes studying a life-threatening problem for him! He always fails in academic subjects!" The male orc sighed helplessly, getting angry when he thought of his good-for-nothing child.

"The cultural subjects are quite difficult. I heard that the adult orcs in the City of Enlightenment are also studying them, and many of them say that they can't learn them!" The female orc nodded. Their tribe currently only requires the cubs to study, and there are not so many requirements for the adult orcs. He just heard that the adult orcs in the City of Enlightenment are complaining about the difficulty of the cultural subjects.

"I don't expect him to become anything useful. I just hope he can pass the exam and learn a few more words. When I'm old, he can use these to find a job and won't starve to death." The male orc shook his head sadly.

The two chatted along the way and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the City of Enlightenment. The female orc got off the carriage holding the child, while the male orc led the carriage slowly to the small pavilion on the side. He carefully handed a booklet to the person inside. After the person took the booklet, he gently tapped a seal on it, indicating that he had just successfully completed a transportation mission and obtained five points for it.

In this Enlightened City, there is no such thing as currency. It is not that Cheng Mo does not want to introduce a currency system, but because they are currently unable to do so. Although they have opened up a path with other tribes, if they want to issue currency, I am afraid that other tribes will not recognize it. After all, for those tribes, a piece of thin paper cannot guarantee any value at all. Only real food can be the most reliable bargaining chip. Therefore, the current implementation of the points system is undoubtedly a wiser choice. At least through these points, people can exchange many things they need in the Enlightened City.

The female orc walked into the city with her child. Orcs were coming and going on the road, and everyone was wearing cotton clothes. The cotton was brought in after the road was opened. The people in that tribe didn't know what it was, but they knew that the cotton was very good for making fire. When Cheng Mo went to visit the tribe, he found that they used cotton to make fire, so he exchanged a lot of cotton with them and brought it back. He used the cotton to weave the first cotton coat. Since then, the tribe has become the largest cotton producing area, selling exclusively to Qiming City. Now everyone in Qiming City can wear cotton coats.

Then the two of them walked into a weapons shop, which specialized in selling weapons for orcs who needed to take weapons lessons. These weapons were unsharpened, had less lethality, and were relatively safe.

"Hello, please get us some weapons for the first-year students to use in class." said the female orc to the salesperson.

"First grade?" The salesperson looked at the little cub standing next to him, nodded, turned around, took out a suitable broadsword and a spear and handed them to the female orc.

The female orc carefully placed the weapon in the cub's tender palm, then turned around and handed a bright red paper to the salesperson. This paper was a points ticket, which could only be used in the City of Enlightenment. For these orcs from other places, as long as they studied hard in school, they would receive 20 points subsidized by the school every week.

After finishing shopping, the two did not stop there, but continued to visit other stores. Qiming City has excellent entertainment projects, among which a playground specially designed for cubs is the most famous. This playground focuses on cultivating cubs' hunting skills. Various ferocious beasts are kept in this place, but don't worry, because there are professional security guards responsible for guarding and taking care of the children, ensuring that they can play and train safely and without worries.

The female orc spent the whole morning with her child in the playground, and then took him to the food street. This bustling street gathered orcs from various tribes, who displayed and sold their own unique delicacies. If they had enough points, the orcs could even taste the food from the beginning to the end of the street and enjoy this feast.

After a hearty meal, the female orc took the cub to a hotel to stay. The front desk was a female orc who gently took the two to their room, put their belongings away for them, explained some precautions, and left. The two relaxed in bed and slept until the evening. They did not go out for dinner, but ate in the restaurant in the hotel.
