No matter from which angle you look at it, Qingchen doesn't look like a time traveler.
A normal time walker would never be like him, talking and laughing after experiencing a battle, as if everything that had just happened was just an ordinary rain in the world, and it was normal.
"So, what you said before were all lies," Tuanzi asked in a low voice, "about being abandoned by your teammates and about going to the No. 10 city to attend cram school, they are all lies."
Qingchen said with a smile: "You didn't tell the truth either. For example, you didn't say your identity as a time traveler, so it's a tie."
Tuanzi's tone paused for a moment: "Okay."
Qingchen asked curiously: "Are you exchanging falcons with the wilderness people to sell them to the big shots in City No. 10?"
"Yes," Sun Chuci explained: "Eagle cooking has been popular there recently. It would be a very honorable thing to have a domesticated falcon standing on your arm when attending high-profile events."
Just like celebrities in the watch world will be particularly proud if they can wear a high-end dress of a certain brand, people are chasing trends at all times.
And now for the celebrities in City No. 10, falcon is the most stylish fashion.
Qingchen thought for a while, if he had Qingshan Falcon standing on his arm, would he become the most honorable person?
It's a pity that Aoyama Hayabusa is too big and his arms can't stand on it.
Aoyama Hayabusa may not be willing to cooperate with his pretense...
Sun Chuci continued: "The person who commissioned the wilderness hunter to capture the falcon this time was a big shot, but he didn't seem to buy it for himself, but to give it to others as a gift."
"How much does an eagle cost?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"1.6 million," Sun Chuci said: "We were also tempted by this amount, so we offered the wilderness people a particularly high price in exchange. But we didn't expect that the price was so high that they were willing to take risks."
Qing Chenxin said that as a gift of 1.6 million falcon, it must be given to a very important person.
Although this gift is novel, it is also too expensive.
But Sun Chuci continued: "I heard someone say that the gift is actually for the shadow candidate."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "How does this have anything to do with the shadow candidate?"
Sun Chuci said in a low voice: "We have someone from the PCE Public Security Management Committee. He said that the Qing Family has announced the third round of shadow competition, and all shadow candidates will go to No. 10 to hold some positions. So,
Those who want to climb the dragon and become a phoenix will naturally have to come up with a gift that is sufficiently honorable. Some people have also posted missions to capture falcons before, but the reward price was only about 1 million. Starting last week, the price suddenly increased to 1.6 million."
Qingchen sighed, maybe this is the comparison between big shots. In the future, there will definitely be a big shot among the shadow candidates who can influence the federation, so there will definitely be people who invest in advance.
Just like the ancient dynasties in the world, every prince who has the opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince must have many flatterers around him.
The benefits that flatterers can get from these people are far from comparable to more than a million.
However, Qingchen never expected that Sun Chuci and the others' capture of falcons would have anything to do with him.
Of course, it is only a slight relationship. After all, no one outside knows that he is a shadow candidate who faked his death. The falcon was not given to him.
Qingchen asked thoughtfully: "Do you know what positions they will hold?"
"It seems like he's a trainee inspector from Division 3 of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency," Sun Chuci said, "But this is just hearsay."
Qingchen thought, it seems that the outside world did not know that the shadow candidates were actually going to join the Qing's secret espionage department, but the three branches of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency were completely controlled by the Qing's, so Mr. Shadow issued a letter to each candidate.
It is convenient to have an identity with law enforcement and investigative powers.
In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that the three branches of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency are subordinate agencies of the Secret Intelligence Service.
The influence of secret agents, as well as the manpower that secret agents can mobilize, goes far beyond that.
At this time, they were only over 200 kilometers away from City No. 10. Even if the dirt road was difficult, one day would be enough to get there.
Sun Chuci and others took turns driving the pickup truck, driving day and night.
In order to rush to trade with the wilderness people at the designated time, they didn't even sleep at night, and now they were a little tired.
But when everyone thought that they would soon be able to return to a "relatively comfortable" city and receive more than 80,000 yuan, they cheered up again.
In the car, only Qingchen was still in good spirits. He asked: "Are you short of money?"
Sun Chuci thought for a while and said: "Actually, we can take care of our own food and clothing issues on weekdays, but the Chinese New Year is only two months away, and we also want to have a good New Year."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. The Chinese New Year is only two months away.
He has a photographic memory and can accurately count five hours silently in his mind, but the Spring Festival seems to have been deliberately forgotten by him.
When we are on the road, the meaning of the New Year is to stay in a cold hut and silently recall the movies or books in my mind.
For Qingchen, this is a meaningless festival.
Just in the evening, the three pickup trucks finally arrived at the entry-exit gate of City No. 10.
From a distance, barbed wire and electric grids several meters high can be seen surrounding the city to prevent people from smuggling goods.
Each city has its own tariff barriers. For example, if the commercial cars of Jindai and Kashima want to enter the 18th city, they have to pay a tariff of up to 47%. If the cars of Li, Qing, and Chen want to enter Jindai, Lushima
The same goes for the northern cities controlled by the island.
This is all a measure for the consortium to protect its territory.
I don’t know what day it is today, but there are so many people who want to enter City No. 10 through the entry and exit gates that there is a long queue at the martial law passage outside the city.
Sun Chuci said: "I heard that it happens every year at the end of the year. The people in front are all wilderness hunters. Everyone goes to the wilderness to hunt, or hunt wilderness people for money, and then prepare to have a good New Year. This time it should be because of the falcons.
reward, so more people go out to work."
Qingchen thought for a while and asked: "How many Revenants are there in a city?"
Sun Chuci responded: "There are 82,319 people on the record. This is a legitimate profession."
"So many," Qingchen was a little surprised, because he didn't see many active hunters in the wilderness.
On the road, soldiers from the Exit-Entry Administration were patrolling back and forth to maintain order, looking particularly solemn.
At this moment, a motorcade passed by the express lane next to three pickup trucks, and there was no need to queue.
Qingchen raised his eyebrows.
Sun Chuci noticed Qingchen's strange expression and explained to him: "You will get used to this if you often go in and out of the city. Consortium vehicles, official vehicles, and even some wealthy businessmen's vehicles all have electronic traffic signs and can pass through customs directly.
"
Qingchen said: "Yes, I know."
He raised his eyebrows not because he was surprised that someone could jump in line. After all, when he left City 18 before, he used Qing's ginkgo logo to take the priority lane.
He raised his eyebrows because he clearly saw a 'tie'-like symbol on the motorcade, which was the logo of Hengshe.
Qingchen didn't expect that Hengshe also had power in City No. 10.
He also thought that Hengshe was only active in city No. 18.
At 7 o'clock in the night, it was finally Sun Chuci's turn to undergo identity checks.
More than a dozen entry-exit soldiers and more than 30 mechanical guards surrounded the surroundings, and even drones were hovering in the air.
The entry and exit gate is a city gate-like building with a bunker-like defensive building above and a tunnel embedded with white light strips below. All vehicles must be inspected in this tunnel.
When Qingchen looked up, he saw a honeycomb embedded in the top of the tunnel. Inside the honeycomb were hundreds of Border-01 drones, carrying standard weapons with a caliber of 5.56 mm.
Different from the outside world, the immigration bureau here is more like a part of the city defense system and has greater powers.
If someone breaks through the border without authorization, the Exit-Entry Administration has the right to shoot him or her on the spot.
Moreover, they have killed many people.
At this time, a middle-aged man in black uniform silently looked at the documents and information handed over by Sun Chuci, and then asked in surprise: "You killed 17 wilderness people? Are you kidding me? Your team is f*cking
Can a level-rated Revenant kill 17 Wilders?”
Sun Chuci responded patiently: "That's right, it's quite a coincidence, but the evidence of photos and videos, the records of the life detector, and the iris sequence extraction records can all be used as proof. Moreover, we have also confiscated some firearms. You can
You can also check it out.”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and waved to his colleagues, and someone immediately went to check the three pickup trucks.
The middle-aged man turned off the law enforcement recorder in front of him as if nothing had happened, then led Sun Chuci to a place where there was no surveillance and said: "According to normal procedures, you should be able to receive a federal reward of 85,000 yuan, but your evidence
Four of them are not perfect..."
Sun Chuci hurriedly said: "I understand, then we will receive the reward of 13 wilderness people."
He knew very well that this was a middle-aged man who wanted to make some money, and as an ordinary wilderness hunter, he had to cooperate.
Otherwise, the next time you want to go to the wilderness, your firearm will be seized by the opponent, which will make hunting very difficult.
Seeing that Sun Chuci was so easy to talk to, the middle-aged man immediately laughed: "I am the detachment leader of the 7th Exit and Entry Management Brigade. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."
"Okay," Sun Chuci nodded.
"Okay, then I will conduct a routine check on the information of your entourage and then you can be released," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
After saying that, he returned to where he was standing and turned on the law enforcement recorder again, then swiped the owner's electronic identification card that Sun Chuci gave him to the micro LCD computer in his hand one by one.
However, when he swiped Qingchen's electronic identification card, he was stunned.
The middle-aged man glanced at Sun Chuci in surprise, and then hurriedly ran towards the pickup truck in the tunnel.
