It was still early.
Zhao Chi didn't waste Physical Strength running to the academy.
Instead, he walked at a brisk pace.
The village roads weren't crowded, but once he entered the town, the streets became noticeably congested.
It was the morning rush hour.
The streets were filled with pedestrians and vehicles.
A horse-drawn carriage passed by, and the stench of horse manure filled the air.
A mechanical car drove up, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This type of mechanical car was powered by Spiritual Energy. Refilling the Spiritual Energy was expensive, making it a status symbol for the wealthy.
Zhao Chi bought a deep-fried flatbread from a street vendor for 8 Copper Coins.
It was greasy, heavy, and probably not very clean, but it tasted good.
It was only 8 Copper Coins. As long as it filled him up, it was good enough.
"Zhao Chi? Here, get in the car!"
A familiar woman's voice.
He turned his head and saw it was Chief Instructor Li Ruanyu.
