Long queues and long waits.
Lu Yuan suppressed his hunger, feeling a growing sense of panic.
"Damn it, why isn't it my turn yet?!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look ahead.
After several hours of waiting, the line had only moved forward a dozen meters.
It will take a long time before we reach the front of the line.
Lu Yuan even felt that by the time he arrived, the RRC recycling point might be closing for the day.
The two people in front and behind also stopped talking.
They've already started their third meal.
This made Lu Yuan a little curious.
"Ahem! Your mealtimes are so frequent!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the person behind him couldn't help but retract the dark energy block in his hand, looking at Lu Yuan with a wary expression.
"Ahem! I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking casually! You guys keep eating!"
Lu Yuan glanced awkwardly at the people behind him.
A clear hint of wariness flashed in the other person's eyes, as if they were afraid that Lu Yuan would steal their food.
Lu Yuan had no such thought at all, even though he was extremely hungry.
However, he was still a little worried about whether there would be any aftereffects if he ate this unidentified object.
The group moved forward a little further, and Lu Yuan followed them for a couple of steps before continuing to wait.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from above.
Then everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the small, five-meter-long single-person warship that had just flown overhead.
Lu Yuan was also somewhat shocked.
"Could this thing be a ship belonging to people from a second-tier plane?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the people behind him couldn't help but chuckle.
"Never seen this before, have you! This thing isn't from a second-tier plane; it's a ship from our lower-tier plane. And we lower-tier planes aren't just collectors like us! There are also rulers and armies here!"
After listening, Lu Yuan nodded as if he understood, and gained some new insights into the world.
The ship overhead flew swiftly past and then stopped at the exchange point in front.
The surrounding crowd kept looking ahead, as if trying to see what was happening inside.
Lu Yuan looked on with great curiosity, but the distance was too great, so he couldn't see what was happening in front of him at all.
However, the whispering sounds from the people nearby gave Lu Yuan room for speculation.
"Judging from the appearance of this warship, it doesn't seem to belong to the military. It's probably some officials under the ruler. What are they doing here?"
"Who knows? They haven't come here in ages. It can't be that they're here to give us freebies!"
"Come on! Giving out welfare? We're lucky if they don't exploit us! Hopefully it's not a bad thing!"
"By the way! Didn't we hear recently that quite a few more galaxies have joined our hyperdimensional plane? Could it be because of this?"
"Another new galaxy has joined? Goodness, our hyperdimensional plane already has quite a few galaxies! What are they planning to do?"
"Sigh! The universe is constantly expanding, which led to the formation of this place. I guess it's because of this! I really can't fathom what the people above are thinking!"
"Wait a minute! Could it be that another war is about to break out? I have a bad feeling about this!"
"Hiss! Don't talk nonsense! How could a war break out? Didn't a ceasefire agreement just happen recently?"
"Hehe, just kidding! Ceasefire agreements in lower planes are actually quite reliable!"
"Tch! Haha! That's hilarious! The wars in the lower planes have never stopped, okay? The ceasefire agreement is just giving both sides time to prepare for the next war!"
"Sigh! If war really breaks out, we'll probably have even better chances of getting food in the future! Every time war breaks out, the people who die the most aren't on the front lines, but in our rear areas!"
"Please, let war not break out! We've only been enjoying a few years of good times!"
"..."
The people below kept discussing it, and Lu Yuan also looked at the ship in front of him with a serious expression.
After the ship came to a stop, the hatch opened, and three people disembarked from the warship.
One of them was the driver, and the other two were dressed in silver-gray clothes.
The two of them calmly walked to the front under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
They then walked straight to the control panel, picked up the microphone, and spoke into it.
"We have received a notification from the interstellar immigration bureau at the front. An unidentified person has entered our area, identified as [identity number]. The person with that number is to proceed to the control panel immediately!"
Then the other person repeated this sentence several times.
The scene immediately became noisy. Due to the large number of people, everyone turned their attention to the person next to them, as if trying to find this person.
Suddenly, someone in the line ahead raised their hand high.
"Shangguan! I know where this person is!"
Like everyone else, Lu Yuan immediately looked towards the person who had raised their hand.
However, because it was too far away, Lu Yuan couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but felt that the other person's figure seemed somewhat familiar.
The man, with his back bare, ran quickly forward after receiving the order.
The two people dressed in silver-gray clothes looked at the newcomer with a hint of disdain in their eyes.
Do you know where that person is?
"Yes! I know! I'll take Shangguan there right now!"
The two officials nodded immediately and led the other party into the group.
When the person turned around, Lu Yuan finally got a clear look at what they looked like.
Suddenly, the number he had just mentioned popped into his mind.
"...Holy crap! Isn't this exactly what I'm looking for?"
Sure enough, the person who reported it was Gu Chenghan, the "good Samaritan" from before.
Gu Chenghan led the two of them to Lu Yuan, then pointed at Lu Yuan with a flattering expression and said to the two of them.
"That's him! He's the one!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt extremely surprised and angry.
Gu Chenghan seemed harmless before, and was even willing to provide her with some information.
Lu Yuan had even considered him a friend, but at this moment, the other party betrayed him immediately.
The two men walked up to Lu Yuan and looked him up and down. Then one of them said to Lu Yuan.
"Raise your wrist! Come with me!"
Helpless, Lu Yuan could only raise his wrist and show his bracelet to the two of them.
A string of striking numbers suddenly appeared, and the two people in the line, one in front and one behind, both had expressions of regret on their faces.
"What a pity! We missed such a great opportunity!"
