Chapter 8: Space Adventurer! Chapter 4: Special treatment for first-class talents!
Chu Zhou and others flew towards Star Beta while listening to Dicko talking about some common sense about the universe.
Soon, they entered Beta Star and penetrated the atmosphere.
They looked down and saw a huge harbor directly below them.
There are a large number of spaceships in the harbor, some large and some small, with the small ones being only tens of meters or even dozens of meters in length.
The long ones are usually large transport ships, tens of thousands of meters long.
A large number of spacecraft were landing or taking off, and there were many uniformed staff walking around, it looked very busy.
"This is the spacecraft docking port on our Beta planet..."
Diko took the initiative to introduce Chu Zhou and others:
"Although Beta is not as prosperous as the Galaxy where the capital of our Galactic Empire is located...it is also one of the most important commercial planets in the border areas of our Galactic Empire, and its business is still very prosperous."
"Interstellar merchants from dozens of nearby life planets all like to come to Beta Star to conduct large-scale transactions."
"Every year, the cargo throughput of this port exceeds 100 billion tons."
Chu Zhou, 'Long', 'Sun God' Sol, Chanka Possa and others were shocked when they heard this.
The cargo throughput of the world's largest port is only about 1.1 billion tons.
The cargo throughput of this port reached 100 billion tons.
There is absolutely no comparison!
"We are going to join the Galactic Empire. Please take us to the agency that will handle the citizenship procedures first."
Chu Zhou said to Dico.
This was something he and Long and others had decided long ago.
It is important to have an official citizenship in the universe.
"Country of Citizenship?"
Dicko was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that a strong man like Chu Zhou actually had no nationality.
Thinking back to when Chu Zhou had just asked him about the common sense of "inculcation of mysteries".
He vaguely guessed that Chu Zhou and others might come from a remote planet far away from cosmic civilization.
but.
He knows what to ask and what not to ask.
"It's very simple. The Galactic Empire Office in Beta City can handle the nationality matters."
Dicko smiled and said:
"In the universe, as long as you reach the Void level, you can become a citizen."
"Warriors like my master who have cultivated to the star level with their own abilities are welcomed by many cosmic civilizations..."
"By the way, given the master's situation, if he chooses to join the Galactic Empire, he can probably enjoy 'special treatment for talents'."
Chu Zhou, 'Dragon', 'Sun God' Thor, Chanka Possa and others laughed when they heard what Diko said.
'Special treatment for talents', this policy also exists on Earth, and they are very familiar with it.
It's obvious.
Real talents are welcome everywhere.
It's the same even in the universe.
"In the past, we were the ones who formulated the 'special treatment for talents'... I never thought that there would be a day when we would also enjoy the 'special treatment for talents'."
'Dragon' muttered quietly.
Upon hearing this, the Sun God Thor and Chankavasa burst out laughing.
yes!
They used to be the owners of three major martial arts schools.
In order to attract outstanding talents to join their martial arts schools, they have personally formulated "special treatment for talents".
"However, if possible, I suggest that you, Master, do not join the Galactic Empire for the time being."
"The Galactic Empire is only an elementary cosmic civilization, and its nationality is the worst..."
"Master, you can choose to join the Blood Peak Empire directly. The Blood Peak Empire is a medium-level cosmic civilization and the most powerful country in the Blood Peak Star Region. It directly controls more than 6,000 star systems and has hundreds of primary cosmic civilization affiliates such as the Galactic Empire..."
"Therefore, in the Blood Peak Star Region, the nationality of the Blood Peak Empire is the most valuable."
Dicko suggested.
"On Beta Star, can I directly apply for citizenship of the Blood Peak Empire?" Chu Zhou asked.
Dicko shook his head: "No! If you want to join the Blood Peak Empire, you must go to the life planet directly ruled by the Blood Peak Empire..."
"The closest life planet of the Blood Peak Empire to Star Beta is about 300,000 light years away."
"Forget it! It's too far. Let's just join the Galactic Empire first. In the universe, strength is the most important, and nationality is just icing on the cake..."
'Dragon' spoke.
Chu Zhou nodded and no longer considered joining the Blood Peak Empire's citizenship. He asked Dicko to take them directly to the Galactic Empire's office on Beta.
After flying for hundreds of miles, Chu Zhou and others finally saw an extremely huge city.
The entire city’s walls are grayish white, stretching to the end of the field of vision, with no end in sight!
"What a huge city." Chu Zhou and others landed on the ground, looked up at the huge city wall, and their hearts trembled.
The city wall is 250 meters high.
Moreover, on top of the city wall, there are gun barrels that are tens of meters thick.
It's terrifying to watch.
The entire huge city stretches to the horizon, with no end in sight. Its vastness and ancient atmosphere are shocking.
This is the only city on Beta Star - Beta City.
"Beta City is nearly 3,000 kilometers long and wide, and the history of this city is more than two million years old," said .
A city that is more than two million years old?
Chu Zhou and others were shocked again.
Chu Zhou and others walked into Beta City through a huge city gate that was a mile wide.
As soon as they entered Beta City, Chu Zhou and his four companions, as well as thirty chimpanzees, all received notifications of new information on their auxiliary optical computers.
Chu Zhou looked at the display screen on his arm and found a line of numbers on it.
"1376992596679? What is this?" Chu Zhou showed a hint of confusion on his face.
Dico had long guessed that Chu Zhou and others were probably from an extremely remote planet and had never come into contact with cosmic civilization before.
Therefore, upon seeing Chu Zhou's reaction, he immediately took the initiative to explain:
"Master, this is the communication number sent to you by the Beta City officials !"
"For every person who enters Beta City for the first time, the Beta City officials will send such a communication number to their auxiliary optical computers. People like me who already have a communication number will not receive a communication number again..."
After hearing Dico's explanation, Chu Zhou and others realized that the contact number was actually a phone number.
With this communication number, they can contact directly on Beta.
Of course, this communication number is only for use on Beta Star.
After all, no matter how powerful a communicator is, it cannot make a "phone call" across a distance of many light years.
However, on different planets, there is only one way to communicate - enter the "mirror universe" and chat in the mirror universe.
Chu Zhou and others immediately exchanged contact numbers.
…
Chu Zhou and others, walking in Beta City, saw many exquisite shell-shaped buildings, which they felt extremely strange.
"Beta City is close to the sea, and we Beta people have a special feeling for the sea... Therefore, we like to build buildings in the shape of shells, and we also like to use shells as decorations in our daily lives."
"Even some rare shells have become luxury goods."
Dicko said with a smile, pointing to a necklace made of multiple colorful shells around his neck.
As a local, he knew very well that many outsiders did not understand the native culture of their Beta planet.
Chu Zhou and others looked around and found that many blue-skinned Beta people were indeed wearing some shell ornaments on their bodies.
However, in addition to the Beta people, there are many other strange humans in Beta City.
There is a human-faced bird beak with a pair of black wings;
Some have very long heads and are covered with feathers;
There are those who have only one eye;
Some are tall, up to 10 meters tall;
They have pointed ears and delicate features, similar to those of an elf;
Some have animal ears and a tail;
…
The various kinds of cosmic humans dazzled Chu Zhou and others, and they felt that it was an eye-opener.
However, what shocked Chu Zhou and others even more was the strength of the people here.
There are a lot of people on this street in Beta City.
Looking at the situation, at least half of them are at Void level, and the number of people at Star level has reached 30%.
This scene made the 'Dragon', 'Sun God' Thor, and Chankavasa tremble in their hearts.
"...This...it's really true that the Void class is worse than a dog, and the Star class is everywhere!" 'Sun God' Thor sighed deeply.
As a second-level star powerhouse, he is one of the four presidents of the Human Alliance on Earth and the owner of the Natural Martial Arts School. Whether in terms of strength or status, he is one of the giants at the top of the human pyramid.
But put it here...
It's really too ordinary.
Among the four or five people passing by, two were of higher level than him.
"You really don't see how big the universe is, and you don't know how small you are." Dragon also smiled bitterly, "We used to be frogs in the well!"
Zenkavasa smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing for you? Ever since I met you, I know that you are not the kind of people who are content with what you have... You should like this kind of environment where there are so many powerful people!"
Upon hearing this, the 'Dragon' and the 'Sun God' Thor both laughed.
Indeed, they prefer such a competitive environment.
At this moment, they all felt that the long-lost passion and fighting spirit in their hearts were rekindled.
"People below the Void level are not eligible to become citizens, nor are they protected by the Empire... If you accidentally offend a strong person, you will be killed if you are killed."
"Only when you advance to the Void Level and become a citizen, will you have the rights of a citizen. You can open a bank account and register a Mirror Universe account. You can also enter places that are only open to citizens..."
"But, even if you become a citizen, you must be careful not to offend people who are stronger than you."
"Otherwise, even if they can't attack you in a city like Beta City that is officially protected, they can still kill you outside the city or somewhere else."
"Moreover, even in cities with official protection, we must respect the strong... Otherwise, if the opponent is strong enough and has a big enough background, and really kills someone, the authorities may not punish him, or they may just pretend..."
Dico told Chu Zhou and others about the cruel living environment in the universe.
Chu Zhou and the others were horrified when they heard this.
I truly realized that although the depths of the universe are wonderful, they are also full of dangers, and the naked law of the jungle is played out everywhere.
As they were talking, Dico had already brought Chu Zhou and the others to a skyscraper surrounded by a brilliant galaxy shadow.
The brilliant Milky Way surrounding the skyscrapers seems real, with billions of stars floating in it, which is shocking to see.
I don’t know what technology was used to create such a brilliant galaxy.
"We're here. This Galaxy Building is the office building of our Galactic Empire stationed on Planet Beta."
Dico spoke to Chu Zhou and the others, and led them to the gate of Galaxy Building.
At the entrance of the Galaxy Building, there are two burly guards about six meters tall with two curved horns on their heads.
In their hands, each of them held a huge bronze axe.
The two guards looked at Chu Zhou and the others vigilantly, and felt that Chu Zhou and the others did not seem to be the kind of people who came here to cause trouble, so they let Chu Zhou and the others in.
"Master, the Nationality Office is on the third floor!" Dico looked at the functions of each floor and said to Chu Zhou.
"You stay here."
Chu Zhou asked the thirty chimpanzees, as well as Karon and Kren, to stay in the lobby on the first floor. Then he, Long and others, as well as Dicko, took a circular lift to the third floor.
"Hello, my name is Maeve!" A tall, beautiful woman with two pointed ears quickly flew in front of Chu Zhou and the others and greeted them politely, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"My master is preparing to join the citizenship of the Galactic Empire!" Dicko pointed at Chu Zhou and said.
"Country of Citizenship?"
Maeve was slightly stunned.
Through the auxiliary optical computer, she already knew that Chu Zhou was a ninth-level star expert.
Generally speaking, almost everyone who reaches the Void Level will apply for citizenship... As for those who have not yet obtained citizenship at the Ninth Level of Stars, it cannot be said that there are none, but it can only be said that it is extremely rare.
At least, she has been working here for more than five hundred years, and this is the first time she has seen it.
but.
This is a good thing for her.
Chu Zhou was a client she had received. If Chu Zhou, a ninth-level star warrior, joined their Galactic Empire citizenship, she would also have made a contribution and would be able to get a lot of bonuses this month.
"Sir, this is the Nationality Office, in Room 03. I'll take you there!"
Maeve smiled happily at Chu Zhou and the others, and led them towards a passage, finally stopping in front of a room marked 03.
"It's here...you go in and ask the clerk to handle your naturalization procedures." Maeve said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Chu Zhou smiled politely at Maeve and walked in with Long and others.
"Hehe, I'm lucky today. I actually received a ninth-level guest who wants to join our Galactic Empire citizenship... I have this month's bonus!"
Maeve looked at the backs of Chu Zhou and the others, and clenched her fists slightly with joy.
"It would be great if this gentleman could rely on his own abilities to cultivate to the ninth level of the Star. In that case, he would meet the criteria of being a 'first-class talent' in our Galactic Empire."
"If he is a 'first-class talent'... then my bonus this month is at least equivalent to my annual salary."
Maeve couldn't help but daydream.
but.
She quickly pushed the thought out of her mind.
How could a true "first-class talent" wait until he reaches the ninth level of the star before choosing to obtain citizenship?
I'm afraid that he has already been discovered and ensnared by the many forces and major families of the Galactic Empire.
"He should have been promoted to the ninth level of the stars by the infusion of profound meaning. But... even if so, I can still get a considerable bonus."
"A ninth-level star is still a ninth-level star after all. He is second only to a domain master. Even if he takes a shortcut, he is still an elite."
Thinking this, Maeve returned to her work.
There are two staff members in room 03.
One of them looks similar to humans on Earth, but has blue skin, and is obviously a native of Beta Planet.
The other one had only one golden vertical eye on his face and was a one-eyed member of the tribe.
When Chu Zhou and others came in, the Beta alien was flipping through a magazine with a sexy girl on the cover out of boredom.
Another one-eyed member was drinking a cup of liquid that was emitting wisps of blue smoke.
When he saw Chu Zhou and others coming in, the Beta alien just took a look and continued to flip through the magazine.
The one-eyed man put down the cup in his hand and politely asked Chu Zhou and others: "Gentlemen, how can I help you?"
"The four of us are applying to become citizens of the Galactic Empire!"
Chu Zhou pointed at himself, and then pointed at the 'Dragon', the 'Sun God' Thor, and Chankaposa.
"Wait... the four of you, one Star Level Nine, one Star Level Three, and two Star Level Two, are all going to join our Galactic Empire?"
After hearing Chu Zhou's words, the one-eyed man subconsciously checked the strength of Chu Zhou and others through the auxiliary light brain.
This look.
He was suddenly shocked.
When he heard it just now, he thought that Chu Zhou and others had just been promoted to the Void level and came to apply for citizenship of the Galactic Empire.
No one expected that Chu Zhou and the other three had all reached the Star Level.
Especially Chu Zhou, he actually reached the ninth level of Star.
This is so unexpected.
Then...
He felt a surge of joy in his heart.
A ninth-level star warrior applied to join their Galactic Empire citizenship.
As the person who handles the matter, he can get a lot of bonuses.
Another Beta alien who was reading a magazine was also slightly surprised when he heard the one-eyed man report the strength of Chu Zhou and others, and put down the magazine in his hand.
"Yes. We want to join the Galactic Empire citizenship!" Chu Zhou nodded to the one-eyed staff.
"Welcome to join our Galactic Empire!" The one-eyed man said to Chu Zhou and others with a warm smile. The bonus was the biggest driving force. "Please show me your original nationality release certificate, and I will handle the naturalization procedures for you right away."
"We are all stateless and have no release certificates from our original nationalities!" said Chu Zhou.
"What? Stateless?"
The one-eyed people and the Beta people looked at Chu Zhou and others in shock.
"Could it be that they are a group of ascetics who only care about cultivation and don't pay much attention to the outside world... This is why they have been cultivating to the star level but have never joined any country's citizenship. Until today, they came here to apply for citizenship?"
The one-eyed people thought so, their enthusiasm unabated.
"It doesn't matter if I'm stateless... But I need to get tested first."
The one-eyed man took out an instrument and scanned it at Chu Zhou and the other three.
“Ding ding!”
The instrument soon rang, and the one-eyed man looked down at the display screen on the instrument. There were four lines of text on it. All four lines of text were the same: "No such person!"
After seeing these four lines of text, the one-eyed people felt relieved.
"Since the four gentlemen have never joined any nationality before, the procedure will be much simpler."
The one-eyed man used his hands to quickly input information on a keyboard-like device.
"By the way, may I ask, did you all upgrade through the infusion of secrets? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate against you... It's just that this is part of the process, and according to the regulations, I have to ask."
The one-eyed man asked Chu Zhou and others while inputting information.
Subconsciously, he believed that Chu Zhou and others were promoted through the infusion of profound mysteries.
After all, more than 70% of the warriors on Beta Star were promoted through the infusion of profound mysteries.
Even if you don’t get promoted through the method of instilling the secrets of the nation at the beginning...but later on, many people will choose to get promoted through the method of instilling the secrets.
After all, it becomes harder to get promoted as time goes by.
Especially after reaching the star level.
It is really difficult to comprehend the mysteries of the rules.
To rely on one's own abilities to comprehend the extremely profound rules and principles and advance step by step is as difficult as ascending to heaven for countless people.
Many people, even if they are full of confidence at the beginning, will be shaken when they are stuck in a certain star-level realm for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years and cannot make any progress.
However, when they see that people around them who were originally lower in rank than them have surpassed them one by one through the infusion of the mysteries, especially when some of them have achieved considerable success and status, their already shaken ideas will change completely.
Therefore, many people eventually embark on the path of raising their levels through the infusion of mysteries.
"We have not experienced the infusion of profound secrets!" Chu Zhou said.
"...Don't worry. Even if you are promoted through the indoctrination of the secrets, it will not affect your citizenship in the Galactic Empire."
The one-eyed man spoke instinctively after hearing Chu Zhou's reply.
But suddenly he was stunned.
He looked at Chu Zhou in shock.
Even the Beta star staff member was looking at Chu Zhou in shock with his mouth wide open at this moment.
It seems that Chu Zhou and others have not experienced the information of the profound truth instillation, and it has a great impact on them.
"You...what did you say just now? None of you have experienced the infusion of the profound secrets?" The one-eyed man stared at Chu Zhou.
"No!" Chu Zhou nodded calmly.
Without saying a word, the one-eyed man immediately took out a special detector that looked like a flashlight, pressed a button, and detected the energy fluctuations of Chu Zhou and others.
“Ding ding!”
After a moment, four continuous wavy lines appeared on the display screen of the special detector.
"For all those who have experienced the infusion of the secret, their energy fluctuations are intermittent...but your energy fluctuations are all continuous..."
"You are actually practicing entirely on your own abilities!"
The voice of the one-eyed man was like a machine gun, and his speech speed was extremely fast. He looked at Chu Zhou and others with surprise and joy, and could not help but stand up.
Especially when he looked at Chu Zhou, there was a hint of passion and respect in his eyes.
"Sir!" He changed his address to Chu Zhou. "You have cultivated to the ninth level of the stars with your own ability. Now you apply to join our Galactic Empire citizenship. This has met the "first-class talent" conditions set by our Galactic Empire. After you join our Galactic Empire, you can enjoy the "first-class talent special treatment."
"As for your three companions, they meet the requirements of 'third-class talents'. After joining our Galactic Empire, they can enjoy 'third-class talent special treatment'."
