Moreover, their low birth rate has created a large number of only children, especially those who grew up in privileged environments, who rarely take care of and care for others and do not see helping others as their responsibility. Parents learn to let go once they reach adulthood, a concept of education quite similar to Western countries.

Su Country also has wars, but not as deadly as ours. Nevertheless, wars have cost numerous young men their lives, leading to low birth rates. When there is a lack of male labor force, old ladies braving the cold to sell vegetables and fruits seems quite normal.

An Yi was walking down the street and noticed a significantly higher number of women workers than men. Even in the 21st century, they have not changed the situation of having more women than men, which shows the horror of war can affect several generations. Hua Country’s rise indeed bears the hardship and struggles of many predecessors.

Of course, regardless of how good Su Country is, it remains a capitalist nation, and such a social structure naturally brings disparities in hierarchy and distribution.

An Yi visited the most luxurious special stores in Moscow, where gold and silver jewelry, advanced clothing, and expensive foreign consumer goods are sold. She never saw any workers, farmers, or teachers there. It was filled only with wives and daughters of high-ranking party and military officials who could easily afford whatever was sold, no matter how expensive.

This is probably what they call the privileged class, focusing solely on their happiness and ignoring the people’s suffering!

From this perspective, socialist countries are quite good. After COVID-19 outbreak, our country’s advantages were evident, weren’t they?

An Yi travels to different countries to experience and observe their culture and customs before doing what she wants to do. If you don’t understand beforehand, you’re prone to make low-level mistakes, like last year when she didn’t wear a skirt, and people stared at her which was quite awkward, wasn’t it?

This time, An Yi came mainly to buy food; as long as the money was sufficient and the source ample, she’d buy wheat, rice, corn, rye, buckwheat, soybeans, cotton, and cloth in bulk.

In nearly a year of continuous travels, when the accumulated vegetables, fruits, and eggs were sold out, her savings reached 480,000. Including the leftover 150,000 from last year, she traveled leisurely, sometimes shopping here and sightseeing there, buying when fitting and selling when demanded. She kept a record of her earnings, getting close to 500,000. Nevertheless, she spent faster than imagined.

Last year might have been too hectic, giving her less opportunity to spend. This year was different, with more time available. Within two months, she sold useless vegetables, fruits, and eggs, accumulating abundant grains, meat, cloth, and other resources in her space, making it full and pleasing to the eye.

At the end of January 1958, An Yi sold some luxury goods acquired from Japan, buying fuel such as coal, gasoline, and high-grade fur and medicinal materials.

She invested around 500 to 600,000 rubles and returned with nothing but ten cents. This time, more wisely, she ran to the airport, blended in and caught a flight, sneaking back to Ha City in just two days. Why two days? Due to connecting flights and layovers, plus travel time. Compared to the seventy to eighty-day train journey, it was exceptionally quick!

Upon arriving at Ha City Airport, An Yi wasn’t in a rush to return to Dingyuan County but stood at the airport observing flight schedules. She finally chose one, using Mind Reading Technique to identify travelers heading to Japan, grabbing their backpack and entering her space since she could remain invisible for a minute. Thus she was at ease with this operation.

Then she arrived at Japan’s territory. Once in Japan, she did not hold back.

Since there were no space restrictions, she wandered this country, easily looting malls, going in during the day and sweeping stores at night. Anything she fancied, she took.

Besides department stores and supermarkets, she also visited various food factories. Unfortunately, domestic labor was tight, and national strength significantly diminished compared to the past. Without labor, what’s the use of intelligence if development stalls?

An Yi was ruthless, staying in Japan for a month, robbing whatever she could, causing severe disturbances within the country.
