第一章，向北者

大陆南部，约克王国，亚马尔行省，伦纳德市，普莱恩街。

一间小屋内，瑞克正在缓慢地收拾着行李，他似乎要远行至某处，事实上也的确如此，伦纳德市是一个繁荣的城市，作为一座繁荣的城市，这里最不缺的就是劳动力，本土劳动力或者一些从外面来到这里的劳动力，因为工作要求太高，不得不远走他乡，可是，繁荣的城市总不缺好的名声，一批又一批的人出走，但是一批又一批的人却在往这赶来，人们并不相信这座城市的底层生活差，他们只认为是那一批又一批离开的失败者们自己没用罢了，而瑞克正是这一批又一批的离开者之一，约克王国位于大陆的南部，亚马尔行省位于王国的中部，伦纳德市是这个行省的首府，如果往南前进的话，那里是科特行省，虽然那里内卷并不强烈，但是生活条件极差，反正瑞克是忍受不了，那样的话，就只能去王都和亚马尔行省其他城市或者史密斯行省了，王都那边的内卷更夸张，而且那边的政治氛围极其紧张，瑞克反正是不可能去的，在王都那边，如果在空中抛10块板砖，其中可能会砸到一位王室成员，三个二级政府官员，一个一级政府官员，以及5个平民，在王都那个可能你不小心撞到一个人都是一个政府官员的地方，没点人情世故的技巧，在王都简直就如同羊入狼群一样被动，瑞克有一定的相关技巧，但不多，所以很有自知之明的决定，不前往王都，那么他该前往哪里寻生计？整个亚马尔行省的劳动力内卷都极其严重，所以在这个行省呆着也不可能，南部的科特行省生活条件差，那也不可能，只能向北前往史密斯行省了。

Chapter One, The Northward

In the southern part of the continent, the Kingdom of York, the province of Yamaland, Leonard City, Plain Street.

In a small room, Rick was slowly packing his luggage. It seemed that he was about to leave for somewhere. In fact, it was indeed the case. Leonard is a prosperous city. As a prosperous city, what is least lacking here is labor. Local labor or some labor who came here outside had to leave for other places because the job requirements were too high. However, Prosperous cities are never short of good reputations. Batch after batch of people leave, but batch after batch of people keep coming here. People don't believe that the life at the bottom of this city is bad. They only think that the batch after batch of losers who leave are useless themselves. And Rick is one of these batch after batch of departures. The Kingdom of York is located in the south of the continent. Yamal Province is located in the middle of the kingdom. Leonard City is the capital of this province. If you go south, there is Kott Province. Although the competition there is not intense, the living conditions are extremely poor. Anyway, Rick can't stand it. In that case, you can only go to the capital and other cities in Yamal Province or Smith Province. The competition in the capital is even more exaggerated. Moreover, the political atmosphere over there is extremely tense. Rick is definitely not going. In the capital, if you throw ten bricks into the air, you might hit a member of the royal family, three officials of the second-level government, one official of the first-level government, and five civilians. In that place in the capital you might accidentally bump into someone who is also a government official, there's no sense of social skills involved. In the capital, Rick was as passive as a sheep in a pack of wolves. He had some relevant skills, but not many. So, with a clear understanding of himself, he decided not to go to the capital. Then should he go to make a living? The labor force in the entire Yamal Province is extremely competitive, so it's impossible to stay in this province. The living conditions in the southern Cote Province are poor, so it's also impossible. The only option is to head north to the Smith Province.
