Phi-Fic Chapter 254 Temporary Residence Permit
Chapter 254 Temporary Residence Permit
When Yufei heard the policewoman in front of her ask this question, she thought...
Her thoughtless, impulsive words, which she expected to cause a crisis, seemed to have no problem. At the same time, Yufei, upon hearing her words, also had a hunch.
She asked Kaina, "Beautiful policewoman, how old are you now?"
Taking advantage of her age, Yufei seemed to think the police officer wasn't as wary of her as a minor, so she innocently asked him the questions she wanted to ask.
Sure enough, the policewoman quickly answered, "53 years old."
"???!!! 53 years old?!" Yufei's face was full of shock, and this shock was not feigned.
Yufei looked at the young and beautiful policewoman in disbelief. She looked to be only in her early twenties, a far cry from the more than fifty-year-old Yufei had in mind.
On their planet Earth, people in their fifties, no matter how well they take care of themselves, will still show signs of aging; they'll be fully blossoming flowers, not as...delicate as she is.
Yufei swallowed hard, her eyes widening as she asked, "Sister, may I ask? How old do people on average live at your base?"
"More than 200," Kaina answered without hesitation. She could understand the shock of the girl in front of her, after all, their base shouldn't have even injected the No. 1 gene serum.
She probably couldn't imagine their longevity. Would she be even more surprised if she knew that 200 years was just the lifespan of the most ordinary people outside?
Wouldn't it be astonishing if someone like her, who received the No. 3 gene fluid injection and can control a guard-level battle suit, lived to be nearly 400 years old?
Kaina thought happily
Yufei was indeed surprised to learn that someone could live to be 200 years old. Xiaojun said her space could also achieve that, but that space required immense energy. Yufei wasn't surprised that it could grant such longevity.
The fact that this world's technology could achieve an average lifespan of around 200 years surprised Yufei.
The technology in this world is terrifyingly advanced, but that's exactly what Yufei loves. She just doesn't know what this world lacks that they can use to do business, so they can earn enough money to buy their technological products, or even more advanced technology.
Yufei suddenly remembered the unpalatable nutritional supplements she had been drinking for the past three days. She wondered if it was because the world lacked delicious ingredients, or if they simply found nutritional supplements more convenient for them.
If it's the first type... they can start from that angle.
While Yufei was thinking about how to get money, Kaina continued to speak.
"Now that you've made it out of there, work hard, and you too can have a lifespan as long as ours."
As if to comfort Yufei, Kaina walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
There's not much else she can know about her here; we'll just have to see how they perform at the base.
"I have a pretty good understanding of your basic situation. My colleague will help you apply for temporary residence permits in a bit."
If you do not commit any crimes or illegal activities over the next three years, you will be issued permanent ID cards jointly issued by our dozen or so bases.
With this, you can move around freely in any base.
Yufei nodded, indicating that she understood. Three years was a long time for them, but she could understand.
In their Great Xia, permanent ID cards are generally impossible to obtain, let alone after three years. This is also a way of being responsible to their local residents.
"Is there a faster way to obtain a permanent ID card?" While she understood the possibility, Yufei still wanted to know if there was a way to get permanent ID cards more quickly, so it would be easier for them to get things done.
"Yes! There are two methods. The first is to earn military merits on the battlefield, and reaching a certain standard will directly lead to promotion. The second is to make a significant contribution to the base."
With the approval of the base director and several other leaders in important positions, they can be directly promoted to permanent positions.
Kaina answered quickly, as if she knew this was what you were going to ask, and then added to Yufei's explanation.
"However, you can forget about the first option. All four of you are still minors. According to the Joint Base Basic Law, minors are prohibited from joining the military or working."
After you obtain your temporary residence permits, we will send you to school to continue your studies. We'll discuss adult matters after you reach adulthood.
Kaina went off to make the arrangements with a smile, leaving Yufei bewildered in mid-air.
Even in another world, you can't escape studying!
The world is quite efficient; their temporary residence permits were issued in no time.
They were also given access to a quantum computer smart ring, which looked much more technologically advanced than the smart ring Yufei obtained in the wasteland world.
Whether it will have more features than the wasteland world remains to be seen.
After finishing all that, Kaina arranged for a young man to take them to the school and show them around their base.
Yufei and the other three finally emerged from the isolation room and went to the police station.
The young man leading the four of them was named Els; he had just graduated from the police academy and was assigned there.
His face still held a childlike innocence and curiosity about the four of them. He enthusiastically introduced their base to Yufei and the others.
From him, Yufei and the others learned that this base was the Southeast Base No. 2.
When Yufei and her group entered the residential and commercial areas where ordinary people frequented, Yufei clearly felt an overwhelming sense of technology.
Various skyscrapers of twenty or thirty stories high, billboards projected into the void
The billboards introduced intelligent robot butlers who were either adorable, refined, or quiet.
There are also advertisements for holographic games, and ads for super cool flying cars, land vehicles, and vehicles that can operate on land, sea, and air.
There were even some advertisements for extremely cool-looking mechs, but Els told them that these were all civilian mechs.
Don't be fooled by its impressive appearance; it's all flashy and impractical. Its combat capabilities are no different from ordinary battle armor.
Of course, some wealthy young men like to buy them, and then take them to craftsmen for mecha modifications.
The modified mech still possesses some combat capabilities; Els couldn't quite understand the mindset of the wealthy.
Buying this flashy but impractical armor, plus the cost of modifying it, would be enough to buy a much better mech from within the military.
Buying that thing is a complete waste of money
Rich young men: You think I don't want to buy armor from inside the military?! I can't get in, I can't buy it!
Of course, Yufei knew none of this. The four of them looked at the prices marked on the sign. Since they didn't know about the currency system here, all they wanted to do was make as much money as possible and take some back with them!
When they later learned what those prices represented, they realized how naive they had been.
These are things that ordinary people simply cannot afford!
Just as Yufei and her friends were having a great time, a series of large trucks carrying the corpses of the Zerg passed by them.
"We've won!" Els exclaimed happily.
