Chapter 02 Chapter 2
Yumi returned home before dark.
The security in the residential area of the capital city is very good, and serious crimes rarely happen at night. However, Yumi is now an illegal resident and his body is too small. Even if he does not encounter bad people, he is afraid that he will be accidentally trampled to death by a huge monster that passers-by cannot see.
Regarding the issue of household registration, Yumi had already carefully studied it from Lin En's computer.
Each region of the planet Sna is very complex, with many types of monsters. Although they have human living habits, they are generally not managed in a unified manner.
In addition to the largest main urban area, which is the capital, there are also Sna people living in mountainous areas, deserts, ice fields... and even lava areas.
Lin En mistakenly believed that the black miasma wasteland where he was before was the area with the worst living environment and almost no Sna people lived there.
The living habits and appearance of the Sna people in different regions are very different.
Generally, the Sna people outside the main urban area will not come to the capital to live. If their homes are destroyed or they cannot survive, they need to work in the capital for a full month before they can register as a resident.
Yumi is very confident in himself, and even though he keeps changing jobs, he has been working for a week!
Walking breathlessly to her cabin, Yumi locked the cart and the cabin together, then took the handbag, lunch box and green dates from the cart back to the cabin.
The green dates were given to him by Lin En, and they were almost half the size of his head.
Yumi would avoid the Sna people when eating, but the house was too stuffy. It was dark now, so she didn't have to worry about being discovered when eating outside.
But just in case, he still found a hat to wear.
He ate his meal sitting on the floor outside the cabin, enjoying the refreshing aroma of the flower beds, a natural fragrance.
While eating, she felt a familiar gaze. She slowly raised her head and saw a huge head sticking out of the window of a high-rise building.
The girl had two tiger ears and her blue eyes stared at him closely: "Mimi...can I come down and hug you?"
It was Lily, the daughter of the owner of this house.
Yumi's wooden house was originally intended to be transported to the slums where Lynn lived. When passing by the house, he unexpectedly saw an electronic notice recruiting security guards at the door.
Yumi applied for the job, but as she was small in stature standing in front of the huge and burly master, she was rejected as expected.
The turning point was Lily. Lily was stunned when she saw Yumi for the first time. At first, she thought that her parents bought her a bionic doll. No matter how her parents explained, they wanted Yumi to stay.
Seeing their embarrassment, Yumi suggested, "I don't live in the security booth. My house is very small and can be placed behind the flower bed. You can let me work there for a while and try it out."
“…”
Lily's parents didn't dare let him try. Such a tiny kid probably couldn't even beat a wild cat. But their daughter had been depressed since she transferred to another school, and this was the first time she was so interested in an outsider... In order to make their daughter happy, they had to let Yumi temporarily live in the wooden house in the yard, and they hired a security guard.
Yumi's wooden house was thus settled down. The wooden house was in the yard of the Sna people, so at least they would not be driven away. Moreover, with the new jackal security guards, it was even safer.
"Mimi!" Lily had already run down, saying in a childish tone, "As soon as you eat, the flaws appear on your head? How funny... Can I feed you?"
“…I can do it myself.” Yumi didn’t know if it was his illusion, but the kid seemed to treat him as a pet… He lowered his head and continued eating.
Lily didn't leave either. She squatted beside him and watched him eat attentively, laughing from time to time: "Mimi..."
Yumi got goosebumps from her laughter. After finishing her lunch box, she immediately took out the green jujube, washed it, cut it in half, and handed one half to Lily: "It's getting dark, you should go home quickly."
Lily chewed up half of the green date in one bite, then squatted down to watch him eat half of the green date with a spoon, her ears trembling with excitement: "How cute!"
Only after Yumi finished eating the jujubes did Lily reluctantly go back to the house.
He breathed a sigh of relief, borrowed the hot water from Lily's house and took a quick shower, went back to the house, locked the door, and studied the newly bought alarm bracelet under the light.
The bracelet gave him an account for storing star coins, and he planned to deposit all his cash into it tomorrow.
Although making money is tiring, Yumi was pleasantly surprised to find that he could save money more easily than the native Sna people. He currently has no expenses for rent and clothes, and as for eating, he only needs to buy the smallest portion each time and he can eat at least two meals!
Yumi put on the alarm bracelet. It was the smallest size bracelet in the store, but it was still a little big. He altered the strap himself so that it was not so loose.
The alarm bracelet is linked to Lin En's optical computer. When something happens, as long as he presses the alarm button, the bracelet will help him call the police and send his location to Lin En's optical computer urgently, so that the other party can find him as soon as possible.
Before going to bed, Yumi took out the workbook given to him by the furniture factory and wrote down the priorities for settling on Sna Star:
1. Monster horns
2. Optical Brain
3. Renting a house
4. Buy a house…
Once she has her own house and puts on monster horns, Yumi will become a real member of this place.
At dawn the next day, Yumi took her wallet and went to deposit the money.
Looking at the deposit figures displayed on the screen, Yumi felt a sense of accomplishment. After coming out, she took out a map and headed to the high-end restaurant mentioned in yesterday's electronic flyer to prepare for the interview.
The restaurant was located in a busy area of the city, and Yumi had never been there. He was looking at the map and asking for directions. When he was trying to figure out how to get to a narrow intersection, a huge black shadow suddenly enveloped him.
Yumi looked up hesitantly.
Right in front of them, a huge Snarkite came over. The most important thing was that this Snarkite didn't look like a human at all. His body was twisted and his skin was brown with spots. Compared to the beastly appearance of most Snarkites, this one looked more like the terrifying monsters that Yumi had seen in special effects films before...
This is a complete monster, a Snarkite!
Yumi forgot to move for a moment and froze in place.
The Sna people on the road hurriedly made way.
The monster walked up to Yumi in one step.
Yumi trembled slightly with fear, he thought that this monster had taken a fancy to him, the youngest among the crowd, and was going to bully him.
Yumi looked at the alarm bracelet hesitantly, but then through the mirror of the alarm bracelet, she saw a monster face in the sky that was also trembling.
“…”
Before he could come to his senses, he heard the monster say, "Your body is so beautiful... Do you think my disability is funny? So you're blocking me on purpose?"
Yumi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the intersection was very narrow. If he didn't give way, the monster would have to step over him to get through... He quickly gave way: "Sorry!"
At this moment, a speeding bicycle braked urgently beside him, and two tentacles quickly lifted Yumi to the back seat. Lin En said to the monster, "He was just in a daze, and he definitely didn't mean to look down on you!"
The monster walked away in silence.
Lin En carried Yumi and started riding again: "I knew you would get lost, so I'll take you to the interview!"
Yumi: "You still have to go to work..."
Lin En: "There's still an hour left, there's still time!"
Yumi thanked him and asked quietly, "Where is the disability of that person just now?"
Although it is a scary monster, it can clearly walk, talk, and see...
Lin En paused, shocked: "Mimi, you haven't seen a disabled Sna star, have you?"
Yumi said nothing.
Lin En smiled and said, "As expected, you grew up alone in the wilderness... Mimi, even the weakest Sna Star people have the innate ability to transform into humans. When a Sna Star person is completely unable to transform into a human, whether it is due to congenital disease or acquired injury, it is equivalent to disability here."
When he said that, Yumi understood a little, but she still didn't understand: "Even if I can't become a human, my life won't be affected, right?"
Lin En: "How could that be? The disabled Sna people would be rejected by many jobs that require human appearance, so there is a business of making and selling humanoid suits in the underground black market... But fake ones are fake after all, and it is difficult for Sna people who can't transform into humans to find a mate."
Yumi lowered his head and thought. In some ways, he was very similar to the disabled Sna star.
As the only human being in this world, he is destined to be single for life.
