Chapter 23
In fact, it’s not that Jiang Yunu is so scary.
No one understands this better than Jiang Yunu herself. Since she came to Xiate, most of the people she met in this city were good people.
Plus, she's a child now.
Children are easily ignored by adults, but they also have certain privileges and are easily seen as non-aggressive and non-dangerous.
As long as a child is sweet-talking, has a warm and cheerful personality, is not afraid of interacting with others, and is not afraid to express himself, he can easily win the favor and trust of adults.
Jiang Yunu's extroverted personality is natural. She never regards communicating with others as a difficult thing. She can even chat with non-humans.
"Who are you talking to?" Joyson was puzzled when he first witnessed Jiang Yunu communicating with the "non-human object." They were in the library, at their usual long corner table. Joyson was looking at his 3D floating screen when he heard Jiang Yunu mumbling something. He thought he was talking to him, but when he looked up, he found that Jiang Yunu wasn't even looking at him, and wasn't at the table.
Jiang Yunu squatted under the wall near the long table and there was no one else around.
Qiao Yisen heard Jiang Yunu say, "Come on, you can do it from this angle!"
The white-haired girl lowered her voice. Even though there was no one else around, she abided by the rule of not disturbing others in the library reading room.
Qiao Yisen stared at the blank wall, not even making out a ghost. Puzzled, he pulled his chair a little further away, propped himself up on the table, and leaned over to look at Jiang Yunu. "Jiang Yunu? Little Jiang? Who are you talking to?"
Jiang Yunu had been coming to the library with Qiao Yisen for several days in a row, and their friendship had grown rapidly. They called each other by their first names most of the time, but Qiao Yisen always felt that he was older than her, and sometimes called her "Little Jiang" and even half-jokingly called her "sister" once.
Jiang Yunu didn't even turn his head, and focused on looking in front of him: "Shh, keep your voice down, I'm trying to comfort my charger."
"?" Joyson looked confused. "What? Who are you kidding?"
Joyson thought he had misheard, and walked around the table with more doubts, and went to the corner where Jiang Yunu was. Then he found out that Jiang Yunu was really coaxing a charger!
It was probably an old universal charger, the charging head and the charging cable had a bad connection. At the end was a small rechargeable desk lamp. The charging indicator light on the side of the lamp flickered on and off, indicating that it was charging intermittently. Jiang Yunu was constantly adjusting the angle of the cable, trying to keep the indicator light on and increase charging stability.
Joyson watched for a while and swallowed back the words "Why don't we change the charger?" After spending these days together, he knew that Jiang Yunu probably didn't have a replacement, and everything Jiang Yunu had was basically "one-of-a-kind".
Joyson could only ask doubtfully, "Will this trick of coaxing it work?"
Jiang Yunu said, "What if? Baby, let's try harder!"
Joyson: “…”
A magical thing happened. After Jiang Yunu diligently "coaxed" the charger for a long time, it actually fixed the circuit flow at a certain angle, and the charging became smooth and never interrupted again.
Jiang Yunu breathed a sigh of relief and patted the charger with his fingertips: "Be good."
Joyson: “…”
This rechargeable desk lamp is the one that Jiang Yunu had picked up from the charity recycling box before. She went to the library for several days and found that there was a public interface in the library's reading room, which made it convenient for citizens who came to the library to charge their electronic devices at any time.
Since she discovered this, Jiang Yunu started to bring her own small desk lamp and go to the library every day to take advantage of the city's public power construction to fully charge the only small electronic devices she had.
So recently, when Joyson occasionally looked at the second floor opposite from his room at night, he would find a faint light in the window of the second floor opposite.
Getting to know Joyson and his mother was one of the luckiest things that happened to Jiang Yunu since he came to Chat City.
Before this, although Jiang Yunu was able to live successfully on her own and had initially achieved a life with food, drink, shelter and sleep, her way of life was more like that of a wild animal wandering in the city, revealing an unruly and "wild feeling".
Every day, he would go out for a walk as soon as he opened his eyes. He had become familiar with all the nearby blocks on foot, and would regularly go to a few charity recycling bins to "shop". Then, when it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, he would go to the food street on Track 12 to get a random relief meal, eat it on the spot, and then take all the gains of the day, hiding from the city coordination robots, and run back to the dilapidated street in a physically challenging way.
The schedule basically revolves around collecting survival supplies.
After getting to know Joyson and Qiao Daisy, Aunt Daisy didn't say much, but silently prepared a meal for Jiang Yunuo, which greatly reduced the time Jiang Yunuo spent on the "foraging" project every day, allowing her to have more energy to do other things.
Secondly, with Joyson, a native of Chat City, guiding her, Jiang Yunu not only learned about the old bus but also discovered several other routes she could take without ID verification, using her child ID. Joyson also showed her many places she could visit without a personal ID and shared some "low-cost living tips."
And because Joyson is already 11 years old and is about to register for this year's junior supernatural school, he has already done some admission research, so if Jiang Yunuo has any basic questions related to supernatural powers, Joyson can talk to her.
It is definitely not possible to talk about it in a profound way. Joyson himself has not yet officially started the systematic study of supernatural powers.
But Jiang Yunu was a complete blank slate when it came to supernatural powers. He was as clueless as a newborn baby. It was of course no problem for Joyson to share with this "blank slate" the things he had been exposed to since childhood.
Even though Qiao Yisen's eloquence was actually average, he spoke haltingly in some places and often had to stop to look up information on the parts he was unsure of, and then read the information he found on his personal terminal to Jiang Yunu, Jiang Yunu listened with great interest and respectfully called him "the future Teacher Qiao."
Jiang Yunu violently absorbed all the knowledge that she didn't know.
The help from Joyson and her son improved her quality of life and finally made her no longer a headless fly in the face of "superpowers". She found an opening in the huge amount of information in this world, and she could plunge her head in and absorb it with an almost greedy attitude in the face of new things.
There are superpowers in this world, and she probably has them too. Superpowers are something the inhabitants of this universe are born with.
How interesting.
Jiang Yunu lived like a solitary little wild animal on the isolated island, and when she first arrived in Chat City, she lived like a stray wild animal in the city. She brought home the small desk lamp she'd fully charged at the library and placed it by her bed on the second floor of her small garbage room. Late at night, she would turn on the light and take out the notebook and pen she'd collected from the recycling bin.
Jiang Yunu first wrote down the word "superpower" in his notebook.
The pen tip paused, and she wrote "school" at the back.
After writing these two words, Jiang Yunu raised his head under the light of the desk lamp and looked at the sky outside the window of the small garbage house.
Her eyes seemed brighter than the light of a desk lamp, sparkling in the still dim environment.
She is now a little wild animal who wants to go to school, is not necessarily happy to be disciplined, but is definitely happy to explore her own abilities.
Jiang Yunu also learned that as long as her supernatural talent level reached C or above and she completed the courses of the primary supernatural school, then regardless of whether she chose to go to the advanced supernatural school later, she would be qualified to "apply to enter the hunting area and kill elemental beasts."
This world has superpowers, and correspondingly there are monsters that can only be killed with superpowers, which are called "elemental beasts."
After killing elemental beasts, the elemental cores they drop are good things that can help psychics improve their strength. Therefore, elemental cores are items with circulation value. After collecting elemental cores, psychics can log in to the exchange with one click, hang up the elemental cores they don’t need, and trade directly online in exchange for star coins.
Jiang Yunu didn't know why, but when he heard that there was such a way to make money in this world, he felt excited.
She might be a bit of a fighter at heart, and she likes this model of earning star coins by supporting herself through fighting.
If Jiang Yunu just wants to live a good life by killing elemental beasts and exchanging elemental cores for star coins, first of all, he must be able to go to a primary supernatural school.
If she wanted to go to the elementary school for special abilities, she would first have to undergo a physical examination to determine her actual age and assess whether she was eligible for admission.
If she wants to have a physical examination and an admission qualification assessment... she must first have a formal identity.
Jiang Yunu used to live like a wild animal. Not having an identity ID and not having a personal terminal didn't seem to be a problem for her. She could find her own way to survive anyway.
Now that she has a new goal, her previous lifestyle isn't working anymore.
So how can she obtain a legal identity?
Jiang Yunu was stuck on this problem for two days and even borrowed the library's public terminal to search for issues related to resident identity processing.
The process of applying for resident identity in Xiate City is a bit complicated. Anyway, Jiang Yunu looked at it and saw an important piece of information - if underage children want to settle down, it is best to be accompanied by an adult who can guarantee and provide basic guardianship for the children.
Jiang Yunu silently closed the search page.
The next night, Joeyson invited Jiang Yunu to his house for dinner, and everything was normal at the dinner table.
But after dinner, Qiao Daisi wiped her mouth and said to Jiang Yunu, "Tomorrow is the weekend. I happen to have a day off this week, so I plan to take Qiao Yisen for a physical examination today."
Jiang Yunu understood and said, "Then we won't go to the library tomorrow."
Jiang Yunu was just thinking about finding something else to do tomorrow when he heard Qiao Daisi say, "Come with us and go to the management center."
Jiang Yunu: "Hmm?"
Maybe because Jiang Yunu still didn't understand what was going on, and felt that the little girl was a little silly, and the usually smart child suddenly became not smart, the red-haired Aunt Daisy shook her head, looking a little helpless and funny.
"I'll take you to register your identity," Aunt Daisy said. "Little girl, why are you still an illegal resident?"
