Located in the central square of the Nanzhou mainland, the main building covers an area of several hectares, with a radiant exterior painted with a layer of metal, and a five-pointed star made of gold as a decoration, and the interior includes all the departments and institutions that need to be approved and registered in the whole process of the slave trade.

With a height of more than 500 meters and 168 floors, the Exchange Tower is a three-section structure. The top section is in the shape of a pinpit and is the floor, where the United Nations Slave Trade Administration is located. The middle section, in the form of a cluster of prismatic clusters, is 31 to 105 floors, and is home to the offices of various trading associations, market committees, administrative branches, etc., as well as the offices of various departments related to the slave trade. In addition to the tax offices and inspection teams that levied taxes on the slave trade, there were also special courts that supervised, inspected, and arbitrated the slave trade in accordance with cosmic law. The bottom section is cake-shaped, with floors 1 to 30, and is mainly used for ordinary business such as trade registration and slave registration. Among them, there are special floors for more than 10,000 slave transactions and ownership change registration, VIP customer service center, member customer service center, etc., and finally the window for retail investors to register transactions is only the first to fifth floors of the building.

In fact, the Duran family's office has attendants who are in charge of various secular procedures such as slave purchase and registration, and of course they also have VIP customer accounts and reservation qualifications in the Exchange Building. However, since Gu Hanhan came to the trading building in person with great interest, it was inconvenient for the chief attendant of Gal to mention that he could hand over this Lichun lady to the purchasing attendant to register the property rights, so he had to accompany her all the way down to the hall on the bottom floor.

The scene in the hall was not what I had imagined, at least not the scene of a station or a slave shop crowded to the point of suffocating breath. Huang He explained that although all legal slave transactions in the galaxy need to be registered through the United Nations Trade Agency, that is, the system here in the Exchange Building, in fact, the vast majority of transactions in the universe are carried out through the Skynet system. Rather than going to the trading building in person, the people of the universe obviously prefer to submit an application with their own ring while lying at home, waiting for 24 hours, and at most no more than 72 hours for the system to review, and then they can successfully obtain the slave's transaction record number and ownership certificate. In addition, slave companies and the trading markets of various planets and regions almost all have the service of registering and filing on behalf of customers, but the waiting time for processing varies slightly depending on the domestic laws of each country and the size and license level of the company. Therefore, even the buyers who bought slaves in the slave market on the Beacon Star South Continent Continent often only delivered the chip control wave to the slave company on the spot, and the rest of the formalities on the legal documents were left behind to be handled slowly. Probably only those miserly buyers who have more time, buy a small number of slaves, and are reluctant to pay an extra agency fee of dozens of eldest sons per person, will come to the trading building in person to go through the formalities - of course, in terms of the scale of individual customers in the Nanzhou Continent, the number of people who come to handle the formalities is still very amazing.

It was noon, and there weren't many people in the hall, but there was still a queue. Gu Hanhan was full of interest, submitted his personal identification and receipt stamped with payment seal to the system in accordance with the regulations, and then sat on a stool in the designated area and waited patiently for the number to be called. Her entourage, whether they knew how to register slaves or not, all moved aside in a friendly way, so as not to disturb Gu Hanhan's Yaxing. Only Zheng Wenwen and Gu Hanhan sat side by side, holding a handling note, whispering to the people in the hall, and from time to time they had to look left and right to muttering to which corner of the universe the strange costumes on their bodies came from.

It didn't take long, only about a quarter of an hour or so, and I heard the queuing number calling Gu Hanhan. The system told her to take the slave who was going to register and go to window 30485 to handle it - according to the system's map instructions, window 30485 was not far from her, a hundred meters ahead, and the room around the corner was. Zheng Wenwen stood up quite excitedly: "It's your turn, Hanhan, hurry up." ”

They came to the booth of the designated window, and behind the high counter was a middle-aged female auditor, already holding their filing application form. Gu Hanhan first checked the queue number with the system, and then realized that the slave she had just bought, Ms. Lichun, failed to keep up, she quickly turned her head, and saw Lichun behind her, standing timidly a meter away, stepping on the footprints indicating the waiting position in the queue under her feet and not daring to step forward, so she beckoned to her. Lichun hurriedly ran over, Gu Hanhan patted her hand comfortingly, and then pulled her arm to let her sit down.

Lichun didn't want Gu Hanhan to be such a King Kong Lori, she could carry the tripod, and she was powerless to resist at all, so she was pressed and sat on the stool in front of the counter. She had grass on her buttocks, and she really couldn't sit on it, and it felt like her new owner might be a psychopath. Regardless of the fact that there is only one such high chair in front of each audit window, there are more chairs that are not for slaves to sit on. However, Gu Hanhan didn't notice these details, she and Zheng Wenwen stood next to Lichun left and right, as if they were taken out by Ms. Li Shufen to run errands together.

"It's her," Gu Hanhan pointed to Lichun and said to the auditor, "We have to handle the transaction filing and property right change registration for her." ”

The auditor looked at Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen and felt like they had encountered a neuropathy, but she had encountered a lot of various neuropathies at the window of the Exchange Building facing the people of the universe, so she didn't take it seriously, glanced at them calmly, and handed over the application form in her hand: "Check the information, and then sign it." ”

Gu Hanhan looked down at the application form, the upper part was her personal identity information, and the lower part was Lichun's. Gu Hanhan's identity information is very simple, nothing more than the basic information of an earthling, a college student studying in Beacon Star, etc., all filled in by Gu Hanhan himself when he submitted the application just now. The part involving Lichun is complicated, not only age, height, gender, weight, but also gene number, chip number, transferor and so on. However, most of the boxes behind these items are still gray, with no information and no way to fill in. Only the assignor column indicates that her previous owner was "Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company", and the chip number and genetic code are followed by a string of characters, indicating that she is a female and 31 years old.

This made Gu Hanhan take a small startle: "You are 31 years old?"

"Yes...... Yes, master, I am 31 years old. "Ms. Lichun was still a little nervous at first, as far as slaves were concerned, 31 years old was indeed a bit old, too old to be too old to feed at all, but soon she straightened her chest and regained her confidence - yes, 31 years old is indeed a bit old, to put it mildly, you may have to have teeth when you eat meat. But 31 years old, 31 years old doesn't just mean that she is excellent and a good slave? In short, my Lichun is not the kind of waste that wastes air by eating for nothing!

Gu Hanhan didn't think about it so much, just said "oh", and continued to look down, just said casually: "Then you look quite young, I thought you were not a few years older than me, it seems that if you have the ability to stay in the face, you may not necessarily have to be those female genetic disease patients in the Acropolis." ”

In the last column of the form, is Lichun's name. This field is also blank, but it can be filled in. The following explanation indicates that this column is optional, and it is used to apply for a slave license, and if you do not do it, you can not fill it in.

The so-called slave certificate is also a slave's ID card, with Gu Hanhan's simple idea of the earthling, of course the ID card has to be done, so she checked this item, and then stopped her pen and asked Lichun: "What is the name on the ID card?" Is it still called Lichun, or do you have any other plans and ideas, say it, let's refer to it together." The name is a big deal, and it can be very troublesome to change it if it doesn't get up......"

Lichun had never seen such a slave owner in her life, and she couldn't help but stammer: "No...... Of course...... I didn't want to change my name in the future...... Well......"

"Is it called Lichun?" Gu Hanhan nodded, solemnly, and neatly filled in the word "Lichun" in the blank with her dog-like rotten words, and then signed her name beautifully, and handed the application back to the auditor.

"You're going to get a slave license? It's going to cost an additional 30 Cosmic Coins. The auditor said without looking up, then pointed outward.

Of course, 30 cosmic coins are not a problem, Gu Hanhan took the ring and paid the money, but he didn't understand what the auditor's gesture meant—what did it mean when the matter was done, could they leave? But it was clear that they hadn't gotten anything yet!

Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen looked at each other, but Lichun had already slipped out of the chair with quick movements, standing to the position of the footprints she had stood on before. Getting out of the sad situation of being caught between Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen, Ms. Lichun's expression was much more calm. The halo scanned her whole body ring by ring from under the cover on her head, and it turned out to be a physical examination of her.

While Ms. Lichun was undergoing a physical examination, Gu Hanhan took the opportunity to talk to the auditors. "What is the main purpose of a slave certificate?" she asked, "does it prove that this person is a slave?"

"No," the auditor glanced at Gu Hanhan and said, "It is used to prove that this slave is a human being, and can be protected by the cosmic law as a human being, nothing more than marriage, childbirth, religion, possession of property, or something - of course, with the permission of their master." If it's going to be useful for a slave to go out alone, a slave who is alone must have an identification, otherwise he won't be able to buy a spaceship ticket—"

But then she added: "But I personally don't think it's really useful, it's very troublesome." It was just a formality, and a slave without a license could still go out and do things alone, as long as he brought a power of attorney from his master. And they can live in cages and eat secondary products, and if they are in a spaceship, they only need to buy a baggage check-in ticket. But with this card, I had to buy a class ticket......"
