Chapter 186
[We've arrived at Neicheng Station. Passengers please get off the train in an orderly manner and avoid pushing others...]
The train stopped at the station, and the moment the doors of the carriages opened, people poured out in a steady stream.
Rin and the others are among them.
Who would have thought that the carriage, which was empty when we got on, would be so crowded after six hours of driving that there was no place to stand. An, who was a little shorter, was so upset that he could not even cry.
Because he was short, when he squeezed from the inside to the outside, he was completely squeezed by the people around him and his heels couldn't even touch the ground.
Rin and his friends, who have always lived on Tianyun Star and have never experienced what it feels like to ride a crowded subway, are almost suffering from social anxiety.
If possible, they hope there won't be a next time.
After finally squeezing out of the carriage that was as crowded as a can of sardines, Rin stood in the open space and took a deep breath.
He felt relieved that he had finally gotten out.
Wait, what about the other bugs?
Lin looked left and right, and found that except for Jing and Shuang, all other male insects were gone.
Needless to say, there must have been too many people getting off the bus and they were squeezed apart.
It’s really terrible. We must not get separated. If we get lost, there will be no place to find anyone.
Lin sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "We'll wait for them here. If they're smart, they should come back and look for us."
Jing Heshuang nodded to indicate that he had no objection.
This is the best way. They don't have communicators on them. If we choose to go find them...it's hard to say who will find whom in the end.
Fortunately, those who were able to come out this time were not stupid. Lin's plan of waiting for the male insects was very successful. After a few minutes, the male insects came back one after another.
Just looking at their miserable appearance, I have no idea what they went through in the short time they were apart.
Quan, who came back first, pulled at his collar and said awkwardly, "Rin, I'm sorry, there were too many people getting off the bus..."
Hearing this, Lin nodded with lingering fear and said, "It's okay. Who would have thought there would be so many people?"
I have never seen such a large crowd of people in my life.
Looking around, the entire station was filled with human-like intelligent races, but judging from their appearance... to be honest, Rin felt fortunate to see them come back.
"Next time this happens, everyone should wait where they got off the bus and wait for those who got separated to come back." Lin said to everyone.
Shuangyu asked Quan with interest: "What happened to you?"
"When I was squeezed just now..." Quan's words contained a subtle hint of fear. "I don't know who reached in and touched me several times. It was so... scary."
"Protect yourself. If you really can't help, cover your face." Jing was silent for a while and patted his shoulder.
Even if everyone looks good, it's hard for someone as outstanding as Quan to not attract attention.
While Jing was speaking, he subconsciously ignored the gazes that were falling on him.
But Frost noticed.
However, although Shuang noticed it, he was a little confused as to why he was noticed. Was it just because he was pretty?
As for looks, I haven't seen anyone particularly ugly... I don't count those who are obviously not from mainstream races. Or is there something I haven't noticed...
A group of ten male insects, each with their own troubles, stood in silence in the unknown environment.
Lin was counting the number of people and after making sure that everyone had returned, he gathered everyone together, making sure that his voice could be heard by them but not too loud.
"Next, we have to reach our residence within the specified time. Time is running out and we can't delay."
"Set out immediately."
Everyone had no objection and followed Lin closely.
Although the male insects are raised to be somewhat spoiled, the male insects who are able to leave Tianyun Star and come to the Western Ring Star Belt are somewhat smarter than their counterparts.
After they chose Rin as their captain, they knew that they had to obey Rin's orders in everything related to the mission.
It doesn't matter whether they are truly convinced in their hearts or not. What matters is their attitude on the surface - the male insects who have just left Tianyun Star and don't know much about the outside world have not yet had any other ideas.
Lin led the way, walked out of the station hall, and stood under the bus stop sign on the side of the road waiting.
"No way, we're not going to make a car again." An hung on Jing, his scalp tingling as he looked at the car in front of him.
"Yes, we'll take the bus, but don't worry, there won't be any crowding this time."
As Lin spoke, he swiped his light computer on the electronic screen at the door of the hover car, opened the door and said, "Jing, Xia, Shuang, Yang, and An, the five of you get on this hover car."
"The remaining ones are Feng, Quan, you and I, and Chi and Yi."
The public hover car can be used by simply scanning the code with a light brain.
Just like the public bus he took earlier, no record of the hover car's use will be left, and Lu Ze will erase all traces.
In this way, you can get the hover car for free without even paying for star coins.
(Lu Ze: His Majesty said that every penny saved is a penny earned = if you can avoid paying, then don’t pay.)
…
The energy shield formed by the huge energy field enveloped the residential area of the Western Ring Star Belt, allowing the creation in space to be like a real planet with "blue sky", "white clouds" and a star that provides energy to the entire residential area and emits light.
The towering skyscrapers standing in the inner city, the city with a strong sense of science fiction, finally entered the eyes of Lin and others.
Not long after they got into the hover car, it changed the ground lane and took them from the lowest level of West Ring Star City to a higher high-speed track built in the air.
In this way, even if they are sitting in the car, they can see the scenery outside the car rapidly receding.
Looking down at the city below from a high place, the real interstellar city shocked An and the others so much that they forgot to speak. Everything they saw was unfamiliar. Such a city was said to have been built by their civilization ten thousand years ago.
The hover car was very fast and left automatically after taking them to their destination.
Quan: "I feel like I'm dreaming."
Xia said gently: "I can't have such a dream, it's too real."
Shuang narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If this is a dream, I hope I will never wake up."
Feng and the others were standing on solid ground, but their eyes were still looking into the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of them, until Lin's voice drew their attention back.
"You can watch it later if you want. Now let's go to where we live."
The place where the hovercraft dropped them off was the 40th-floor parking lot of the building. They lived on the 46th floor and had to take the internal elevator to get there.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the parking lot, otherwise they would definitely look at them in surprise and astonishment when they saw them lying on the glass.
Lin: I feel tired.
After much difficulty, they pulled the nine male insects into the elevator and successfully arrived at the house that Lu Ze rented for them.
Lin entered the code into the combination lock on the front door as quickly as possible, and as soon as the door opened, he immediately called them in so that they wouldn't stay outside too long and run into other people.
Once the door was closed, Rin heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that none were missing.
Then, before he could say anything, the nine insects scattered.
Quan was lying on the sofa looking exhausted. Xia was dragged by An to see the room. Yang and Jing went to the kitchen and balcony respectively, while the other bugs were scattered in the living room.
Looking at the group of male insects in front of him who were touching and looking around in the house, Lin's mouth twitched.
"Don't run away yet, I have something to say." After attracting everyone's attention, he slowly explained the subsequent arrangements: "According to Lord Lu Ze's instructions, this will be where we live in West Ring Star City from now on."
An pried open the door and asked a question: "We have ten bugs. How can three rooms be enough?"
Lin had seen the floor plan of the house and had already made plans for this problem.
"It's not enough, so three of them share a room, and the remaining one sleeps in the living room."
Xia thought for a moment and said, "One bed can't accommodate three bugs. Do we need to sleep on the floor?"
Rin: "Yeah."
The space in the room is not small, more than enough to sleep on the floor, but who will sleep on it is the problem.
"Then, who will sleep in the living room?" Shuang leaned against the wall and looked at the sofa in the empty living room. The sofa seemed to be able to accommodate a sleeping bug, but it was definitely no more than 1.6 meters long and no more than 60 centimeters wide.
It’s better to sleep on the floor than this, at least it’s not so uncomfortable.
There was not a single male insect present who was less than 1.78 meters tall.
Lin looked around at the other bugs and saw that they were all somewhat resistant. Then he said good-naturedly, "I'll sleep in the living room."
"You can assign yourselves the rooms."
"I'll give you ten minutes to discuss who you'll be roommates with." Lin glanced down at the laptop and said, "Then I'll tell you about Lord Lu Ze's requirements for us."
Ten minutes later.
The male insects were either sitting or standing, and a few who were not particular about details just sat cross-legged on the ground.
There was no way around it because the living room was so small that it was full after accommodating ten of them, and it was lucky that there was still a place to sit.
"Lord Lu Ze has two main requirements for us. One is to familiarize ourselves with interstellar society and adapt to this world in the shortest possible time."
"Another is to make money and be self-sufficient."
"Until these two problems are resolved, Lord Lu Ze will not assign any missions for us to perform."
Xia frowned and thought: "It's not difficult to adapt to this world, but to make money...what can we do?"
"We don't know anything."
Shuang said sternly, "Not only that, don't forget, except for Lin, all of us are illegal immigrants who entered Xihuan Star City without formal identification. In the outside world, every one of us is an illegal immigrant."
They came across the term "black household" after joining the 'HW' forum. Before registering their identities in the HW database, they were all considered "black households" on Tianyun Star.
As a result, not long after he got rid of his illegal household status, he was put back into it again when he went out.
"Shuang is right." Lin continued, "So we need to find a way to create an identity for ourselves. This is also a test of our abilities by Lord Lu Ze."
The male insects looked at each other, wondering if this test was a little too difficult.
They are now completely devoid of common sense, social experience, and money. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to create an identity for themselves?
Lin knew what they were thinking at a glance, so she said, "Don't worry, Master Lu Ze knows we're in trouble, so he gave us some help."
"What help?"
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Lin remained calm and said, "Eighteen methods with high success rates for obtaining fake identities. After we adapt to West Ring Star City and this environment, we can choose one and implement it."
How is this help?!
Isn't Master Lu Ze a little too confident in them?!
"Wait, I have a question." Yang looked at him, raised an eyebrow and asked, "We need to get an identity. If you don't need one, then you don't have to take the test."
Rin: "Mine is different from yours."
"What is it?"
Not only An was curious, but the other male insects were also curious.
Lin said calmly, "You'll be responsible for our food and rent expenses during this period."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with more sympathy.
Lin smiled helplessly: "So you have to quickly get a 'legal' identity, understand?"
All the male insects nodded in unison.
——It has to be done even if it’s not possible. After all… I can’t really be so shameless as to let Rin support them.
Inside the West Ring Star City.
On the street.
In the surging crowd, Lu Ze was walking in a long coat... The brain worm that had been following him disappeared without a trace, and there was a white-haired kitten with blue-green eyes on his shoulder.
He raised his left hand and just as it touched his right shoulder, the cat on his right shoulder gently jumped along his arm and into his arms.
After Lu Ze arranged for the last group of insects to leave the storage area, he also found an opportunity to leave. This was mainly because some things could not be controlled remotely and he had to go there in person.
