Dream Palace, Order Heavenly Kingdom Headquarters.
It stood atop a tall mountain, with thirteen distinct buildings constructed from bottom to top.
The only commonality was that they were all white.
In a bright, spacious, and luxuriously decorated office.
Elsa wore an Order uniform, a white lace eye mask, and had a mole on the left corner of her mouth. She always wore white lace gloves, no matter when or where.
She unhurriedly reviewed the documents Xia Yuwan had sent.
Closing the last page, Elsa looked up at Xia Yuwan, who was standing below her.
“Not bad, the report is very detailed.”
Xia Yuwan smiled:
“It's my duty.”
“Um, regarding Qi Xiao having ‘qualifications’…”
“I will report it to His Majesty.”
“Alright.”
Elsa nodded.
“That’s all for now, you may go back.”
After bowing, Xia Yuwan exited the room.
Reaching the door, she looked back at Elsa.
“Tonight’s family dinner, will you attend?”
Elsa nodded slightly.
After Xia Yuwan gently closed the door, she clasped her hands behind her back and walked with light steps.
“Uncle Li is still working overtime.”
“Yes, I’m on duty tonight. Xiao Wan is in a good mood.”
“Hehe. Well, you stay busy, I’m leaving now.”
...
Not long after Xia Yuwan left, Bu Zhihuo Mao walked into the office.
After he saluted Elsa.
“Officer, you called for me.”
“Mao, I know you and Xiao Wan have a very good private relationship.”
Although Elsa wore an eye mask and her eyes couldn't be seen, looking at her always gave a sense of being exposed.
“You are an Chengshi child. Is Xiao Wan hiding anything from me?”
Bu Zhihuo Mao stood ramrod straight, his gaze firm.
“Reporting, Officer, everything is in the report.”
A smile curved Elsa’s lips.
“Regarding your brother, I will notify you if there’s any new news. Don’t worry, his avatar is just grayed out, he might just be trapped somewhere.”
Bu Zhihuo Mao frowned, his lips pressed into a thin line.
“It’s alright, you may go back.”
Bu Zhihuo Mao performed an Order Heavenly Kingdom courtesy gesture, then turned and left.
“Mao, you don’t seem to be in a very good mood today.”
Bu Zhihuo Mao ignored Li, walking out of the building with a cold face.
He looked up at the deep, starless night sky, his fists clenched.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, why are you associating with those Wanted Criminals? What exactly are you doing?
...
Transfer Platform One.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng wore an Order Heavenly Kingdom uniform, making him appear very tall and capable.
This was his original uniform, and because it was custom-made, it fit him very well.
Behind him was a stand, on which train coins were neatly stacked.
On another stand were red team uniforms.
This was the second task Kong You had given him: after using up his speaking opportunities, change into the uniform, go to Transfer Platform One, set up a stall, and wait for people.
Before he arrived, many people had already gathered here.
When they saw Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, those who recognized the uniform gathered around him.
“I am this year’s welcoming officer, Bu Zhihuo Mao! Officer Kong You is busy, so I will be in charge of this welcoming event.”
“Sign in here, queue up to collect your team uniform and train coins.”
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng pointed to the box on the table:
“Return your badges, put them all in here. We’ll need them for the next recruitment.”
“What’s going on? Wasn’t it supposed to be a beautiful female welcoming officer? Why is it a blond guy now?”
“I don’t know, keep your voice down, be careful he doesn't make things difficult for you.”
They obediently placed their badges into the basket and received their team uniforms and train coins.
“Officer, didn’t you say there would be fifty train coins? Why are there only five?”
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng crossed his arms.
“The remaining will be issued when you reach the New World. To prevent you from taking the money and running.”
“Officer, why are our uniforms red?”
“Because you are still Newbie recruits! Black is for officers!”
“Oh, oh.”
Their doubts were dispelled.
“Come on, everyone, put them on, look sharp.”
They lined up neatly according to height, their expressions serious.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng brought a camera.
“Everyone, lean in! Come on, one, two, three, cheese!”
“Alright, everyone, remember to wear this uniform when you get to the New World. This is a symbol of identity!”
A chubby little guy raised his hand and said:
“Officer, my pants are a bit tight.”
“Tight is good! Tight means sharp!”
Little chubby guy: ……
...
Ding-dong.
【You have a new friend request.】
Qi Xiao clicked it open, and sure enough, it was Kong You.
Because friends could only be added within the chat room, and Kong You, as a player from the previous session, couldn't enter Qi Xiao's chat room at the time, Kong You couldn't add Qi Xiao as a friend back in Newbie Village.
Now that they were in the same chat room, Kong You's friend request came quickly.
The note for the friend request was:
“No need to accept, come to Transfer Platform Twelve, I have something good for you.”
After much hesitation, Qi Xiao still decided to assign Ren Laotaiye to guard Xi Jian’s bedside, and he himself came to Transfer Platform Twelve.
What kind of trickery was this? He would know once he went.
Anyway, this was a peaceful Train Station, so he wasn’t afraid of her playing tricks.
Since it was the middle of the night, there weren’t many people here.
Qi Xiao looked around but didn't see Kong You.
“You came quite fast.”
Kong You’s figure appeared behind Qi Xiao; she had just teleported over.
Today, Kong You wasn't dressed like Ada Wong; she wore a simple white dress and open-toed sandals, with long, smooth hair.
Her features also looked softer.
“What, not used to it?”
“No, it just feels like a big contrast.”
Kong You chuckled softly and walked towards the beach.
Qi Xiao followed behind her.
Kong You raised her calf, untied her sandals, took them off, and tossed them to Qi Xiao without looking back.
Qi Xiao twisted left and right to catch both sandals, the corner of his mouth twitching unconsciously.
He looked at Kong You, who was stepping barefoot into the water, and asked:
“Is this what you called something good?”
Kong You ignored Qi Xiao and spoke to herself:
“There’s a public Train Station in the New World called You’erdan.”
“Departing from here, you will stop at You’erdan within a maximum of three stations; if you’re lucky, it might even be the first stop.”
“You’erdan is completely controlled by the Order Heavenly Kingdom, and all Trains entering will be inspected by Order Heavenly Kingdom investigators.”
“They will forcefully board and inspect your Train under various pretexts, such as being responsible for your safety, or for the safety of others.”
“They are unreasonable; if they see something good you have, they will take it away under the guise of inspection. And then, don’t even think about getting it back.”
“If you refuse the inspection, you will be accused of various crimes and then arrested.”
“If you resist, what awaits you is a Wanted Criminals notice.”
“They will check your chat content to see if you have any contact with Wanted Criminals.”
“They will also check if your Train is hiding any Wanted Criminals.”
Qi Xiao frowned upon hearing this; he hadn’t expected such a thing.
He had thought it would be like Newbie Village, with random stops at different stations, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Is the Order Heavenly Kingdom’s influence that great? This is a dictatorship.
Then wouldn’t my module be exposed?
Just as Qi Xiao was pondering, something was thrown over, and Qi Xiao raised his hand to catch it.
It was an Order Heavenly Kingdom badge.
“This is a badge representing special recruitment by the Order Heavenly Kingdom.”
“Hold it, and when you encounter inspectors, show it to them, and they won’t board your Train for inspection.”
