Chapter 42: Citizens of the Midway Empire
"Please show the Imperial Citizen Approval Document." A sweet synthesized voice came out.
Li Zhong, who was standing in the cramped Imperial Government Affairs Office cabin, hurriedly put the documents approved by Sildai into the authentication scanning area.
"Name: Li Zhong, Age: 22 Yu years old, Gender: Male, Education level: N/A, Place of birth: Midway Star of the Pleiades Galaxy in the Northwest Star Domain of the Heavenly Spirit Empire."
With the data appearing on the smart computer, the synthesized voice sounded again: "The approval document has been verified, ready to record the identity." ”
Li Zhong stood still with wide eyes.
A blue light scanned him from head to toe.
"Appearance records, bone records, blood group records, DNA records, pupil records. Identification is recorded. ”
After a voice explanation from the smart computer, it spit out a magnetic card, and the synthesized voice sounded again: "Dear sir, you are now a quasi-citizen of the empire, please take the magnetic card and go to the brain chip room to wait." ”
Li Zhong hurriedly put away the black magnetic card, and a door immediately appeared behind him, and there was a long line outside the door.
"Oh my God! Is it so troublesome to enter your identity? If I had known, I would have asked His Highness to help me go through the back door directly! What else to see high-tech! Li Zhong complained dissatisfiedly as he left the office cabin.
It has been a week since the Sand Lizard Star Rebellion, and Li Zhong followed the Ten Princes and Sildai to the Tenth Prince's fiefdom capital - the Midway Star of the Lunar Circle.
This is a galaxy in the northwest star field of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, only a little larger than the Milky Way, with six life planets under its jurisdiction, and the output of various resources and minerals is not much, but it is not much less, it can only be guaranteed to be in a medium state, not to mention that the Pleiades Galaxy is also close to the Religious Alliance and the Barbarian Star Field, and it is not far from the border of the Dark Spirit Empire, the sworn enemy of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, no wonder the Dark Spirit Force can easily come to the Sand Lizard Star.
At this moment, Li Zhong is going through the certification of imperial citizenship, which was proposed by the Ten Princes, saying that since Li Zhong is accompanied by him, of course he must have a suitable identity, so he will give Li Zhong the status of an imperial citizen, which can be done with only one sentence.
But Li Zhong had to experience how the advanced civilization of the universe applied for an ID card, and in Captain Karen's idiot eyes, Li Zhong happily accepted the approval document.
So Li Zhong took the elf to the Civil Affairs Hall of the Midway Star Heavenly Spirit Empire.
There are many oval-shaped smart office cabins in the hall, of course, the role of each office cabin is different, some are the same as Li Zhong to handle identity certificates, and some are to handle other business.
Finally, Li Zhong experienced that he was the descendant of the dragon on the alien planet again, and when it was Li Zhong's turn, it was already three epochs, which was equivalent to six hours on the earth!
Finally, there is only one last step left to become a citizen of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, which is to implant a brain chip!
"Wow! You're finally out! Why do you have to handle your own identity information? Can you just let the subordinates of the Musu Royal Mansion help you? The elf complained.
The Musu Wangfu is the dormitory of the Ten Princes, and the Musu King is the title of the Ten Princes, who made his fief the Musu Galaxy.
The Heavenly Spirit Supreme has a total of ten children, six princes and four princesses, only the ten princes themselves have been divided, and the other princes and princesses are still competing for the inheritance of the Tianling throne, and the treatment of the ten princes can be imagined.
"Alas~ Don't say it, it's all here, don't complain!"
Li Zhong took the black magnetic card, and wandered around the Imperial Civil Affairs Hall weakly, he was looking for the room where the brain chip was implanted.
"Whoa! Intelligent brain chip implantation room. "The elves were the first to find their target.
"It's worth it! At least what used to be something you could only see on TV or in the movies is now being seen! ”
Li Zhong raised his hands and was full of emotion.
Hovering cars, sci-fi mansions, and all kinds of alien creatures, these remind Li Zhong that he is on an alien planet!
"Hey! Bub! Get out of the way! Do you want to get fisted? A giant creature with a height of at least five meters stood behind Li Zhong and said viciously.
It seems that there will be a few thorns everywhere, coming out to stir up trouble.
"Oh?" Li Zhong turned to look at the giant creature and found that he was holding a green magnetic card in his hand.
"Humph! What did you just say? Li Zhong took his black magnetic card and fanned it next to his ear, indicating that he didn't hear clearly.
"Hiss~ Honorable sir, it's me who is wrong, please forgive me!" When the giant creature saw the black magnetic card, it suddenly became a low voice.
"Hmmm! Let's go, pay attention next time! Li Zhong waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
When the giant creature heard this, it didn't look back, but turned around and ran, running wildly all the way, knocking down many creatures, causing a burst of complaints.
"The feeling of status is different!" Li Zhong squinted his eyes, and his mood was very happy.
"Alright, don't be sassy! Get things done. The elf urged.
Since living beings are classified by genes, the identities of the people of the Heavenly Spirit Empire are also hierarchical, which is what Li Zhong learned when he entered his identity information.
The populace of the empire was divided into three types, nobles, citizens and commoners, nobles and citizens enjoyed superior benefits and treatment, while commoners had only the most basic rights to ensure their food and clothing.
Of course! Nobles could only be promoted among citizens, and as for commoners, they had a very small chance of being promoted to citizenship, and with each promotion, they had to be readmitted to status.
And the black magnetic card represents the citizens, and the green magnetic card is the commoners, so the giant creature will be afraid of Li Zhong, and the nobleman's magnetic card is golden.
In addition, there are also slaves in the Celestial Spirit Empire, and these slaves are prisoners of war obtained through interstellar warfare, and the Celestial Spirit Supreme does not allow the people of his empire to become slaves, no matter how destitute and poor they are.
As for where to let the imperial poor go? The universe is so big, go and open up new colonized planets, and the empire will support you.
When he came to the brain chip implantation room, Li Zhong found that there were many creatures queuing up at the civilian window, while there were only a few citizen windows, and as for the aristocratic windows, they generally handled them in the VIP room.
"If only the office cabins were divided into like this, at least we could have fewer queues!" Li Zhong said in a low voice.
"Don't think about it! Unless you are a nobleman, otherwise citizens and commoners have to handle business together, if it weren't for the different levels of brain chips implanted between the two, you still have to line up together, at least the concept of equality of all beings in the Heavenly Spirit Empire still has to be maintained, nobles and citizens are superior to civilians, and the empire official does not recognize it! ”
The equality of all beings is one of the rules established by the Heavenly Spirit Supreme to establish the dynasty, which made him receive a lot of support, of course, after the expansion of the empire's territory, class problems still appeared, but the Heavenly Spirit Supreme still attaches more importance to these issues.
Therefore, the nobles and citizens still did not dare to go too far, and as for the slaves, they did not need the equality of all beings, because they were once enemies of the empire.
"Hello, noble sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
The sweet voice came from the beautiful receptionist, at least Li Zhong thought she was beautiful.
The short green hair looks very lively, and the human-like facial features and body make Li Zhong look very comfortable, but the eyes are a little too big, and the complexion is still milky white.
What really caught Li Zhong's eyes was her plump figure and her uniform that looked capable.
"Ahem!" The elf looked at Li Zhong like a pig brother and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh! Oh! That one...... I'm here to handle the implantation of the citizen's brain chip, and this is my magnetic card. ”
Li Zhong came back to his senses, but fortunately, there was a reminder from the elf, and Li Zhong was not going to make a fool of himself.
"Yes, sir! Please wait a moment, it will be your turn soon. The receptionist looked at the line, and there were only two left in the line on the citizen's side.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, beautiful young lady, maybe we can talk first?" Li Zhong became interested in this beautiful receptionist.
"Alas! Damn male hormones. The elf on the side shook his head and muttered to himself.
Don't worry, in fact, Li Zhong has always been a virgin on earth, with a bad family background and average appearance, no girl likes Li Zhong.
When Li Zhong was taken captive to the universe, he was so affected by El Niño's genetic experiment that he didn't even have a little JJ, and he hadn't seen a decent woman for so long, how could he not be tempted when he suddenly saw a type that was pleasing to the eye?
"Thank you for the compliment, it's an honor to be able to chat with you, who are about to become citizens." The receptionist smiled sweetly.
Hearing this, Li Zhong understood that this beautiful receptionist should be an imperial civilian, and sometimes the empire would provide some good jobs to the outstanding among the civilians, and it seemed that this receptionist was one of them.
In the following conversation, Li Zhong did his best to make the receptionist miss laugh, introduced the elf by the way, and at the same time revealed a little bit of his own combat experience, and successfully left a heroic image in the receptionist's heart.
As for where Li Zhong, who has never had a girlfriend, learned these things, Li Zhong can only tell you that you are indecisive about internal affairs and ask Du Niang!
Although Li Zhong's current appearance can only be said to be in the past after an evolution, his extremely burly figure, coupled with a kind smile from time to time, makes it easy for weak creatures to feel safe, at least this receptionist lady is very satisfied with Li Zhong's first impression.
"Oh! Sir, it's your turn, please come with me. Reminded by her colleague, the receptionist lady realized that it was Li Zhong's turn.
"Yes, my beautiful young lady." Li Zhong followed the receptionist to the room where the brain chip was implanted, and as for the elf, she said that she would wait for him outside.
"Please stand in the designated position of the instrument." The receptionist motioned for Li Zhong to stand up.
The brain chip implantation device is a cabinet-like machine with two delicate robotic arms next to it, and the brain chip will be implanted into Li Zhong's brain tissue through these two robotic arms.
The brain chip is very small, only the size of a little fingernail, but its functions are very comprehensive, not only can it be used for communication, transactions and a series of things, but it is also the identity certificate of the Heavenly Spirit Empire.
"Sir, there may be some stinging in the wait, please bear with me." The receptionist lady kindly reminded.
"Okay, thank you." Li Zhong thanked him.
Soon, after a trivial sting, the brain chip was implanted, and after a period of debugging, the chip was running normally, and Li Zhong was no longer an identityless person at this moment, but a glorious citizen of the Heavenly Spirit Empire.
"Congratulations on becoming a citizen of the Empire, dear sir, please pay 1,000 Heavenly Spirit Coins." The receptionist said respectfully.
Of course, there is a fee for implanting the brain chip, after all, the cost of the brain chip cannot be reimbursed from the imperial finances, and besides, how can someone who can become a citizen of the empire not have some wealth.
"Okay, beautiful young lady, this is 11 Cosmic Coins." Of course, Li Zhong knew the charge, don't forget that in the Lizard Dragon Gladiatorial Arena, the Ten Princes gave Li Zhong a free identity at the same time, he also gave 10,000 cosmic coins.
Cosmic coins can be used in the entire known universe, and their value is extremely high, 1 cosmic coin is equal to 100 heavenly spirit coins.
"Sir, you've given too much." The receptionist reminded the young lady.
"Nope! Didn't give much, I am very satisfied with your reception, this is what you deserve, I don't know if I am lucky enough to get your name and contact information? Li Zhong asked with a smile.
"You are so generous, sir, my name is Lilith."
"Beautiful young lady, my name is Li Zhong, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Li Zhong successfully left the impression of a local tyrant in Lilith's heart, and then exchanged contact information through the brain chip.
"It's good to be rich!"
Li Zhong left the brain chip implant room with satisfaction, and went to meet the elves, it was time to go back to the Musu Palace.
