“Officer, where are you going?” Sun Chuci was completely dumbfounded. He watched the middle-aged man running away, his stout body swaying with every step.
Anxiety, nervousness, humility.
Sun Chuci could see the man’s psychological state from his running posture alone.
But he couldn’t figure out why.
At this mont, the middle-aged man seed to rember sothing and turned back to Sun Chuci, saying, “Don’t call Officer.”
Then, he continued running towards the pickup truck.
Sun Chuci was even more confused.
The immigration officer, who had just been acting superior and demanding, beca panicked after simply scanning Qing Chen’s electronic identity tag.
Sun Chuci took off after him, but saw the middle-aged man already running to the pickup truck, standing cautiously beside the vehicle Qing Chen was in, his Face[-] full of smiles.
He suddenly rembered a saying: The world is like a group of monkeys climbing a tree; looking up, you only see butts, and looking down, you only see smiling faces.
Unless Qing Chen’s identity was special enough, why would these immigration officers lower themselves so much?
The middle-aged man flattered Qing Chen, saying, “Officer, I didn’t expect you to be in this Wilderness Hunters team. You should use the priority channel. Shall I arrange a car for you?”
Qing Chen calmly glanced at him and said indifferently, “Confidential mission, don’t make a fuss.”
The middle-aged man quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
In fact, even Qing Chen himself couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Although he was the Li Clan’s “future Imperial Tutor,” and an Instructor at the Li Clan Martial Arts Hall, this shouldn’t be shown on his electronic identity tag.
The only explanation was that although he hadn’t officially reported, the Qing Family’s Shadow had already added his identity information to the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau’s system.
Otherwise, why would the other party address him as “Officer”?
No, he had to check what was displayed on his identity information to know what identity the Qing Family Shadow had arranged for him.
Qing Chen always felt that upon entering City 10, everything would fall under the Shadow Master’s arrangent.
At this mont, Tuanzi and the others were all watching Qing Chen and the middle-aged officer with bated breath, feeling as if the world had suddenly beco magical.
How did the boy who wanted a ride in the wilderness suddenly beco an “Officer”?
They had dealt with the immigration bureau before. If the Wilderness Hunters didn’t pay protection money when entering the city, they would Face[-] very strict checks.
They would even say they suspected you were hiding psychotropic drugs in your tires and then cut all your tires.
They would also open your hood, and carelessly damage so coolant hoses outside the engine during the inspection. Even more outrageous, they would dismantle the water tank.
It doesn’t matter if a broken-down vehicle blocks the tunnel; the immigration officers will kindly call a tow truck for you and tow your car to the repair shop. As for the repair and towing fees, you naturally pay yourself.
The Wilderness Hunters had an inherent class disadvantage when facing immigration officers, who could almost do whatever they wanted.
Therefore, the Wilderness Hunters usually called these officers “bosses” of the immigration bureau.
Now, the bosses were bowing and scraping before Qing Chen, eager to write the words “flattery” on their faces.
Tuanzi’s gaze towards Qing Chen changed, but Qing Chen remained calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Qing Chen looked at the middle-aged man, “What’s your na?”
The middle-aged man said, “My na is Li nglin, and I’m the captain of the Seventh Detachnt of the immigration bureau.”
Qing Chen nodded, “Haven’t you learned the confidentiality regulations? How can you co and greet like this? What if the vehicles behind see you? Give your identity verification device.”
As he spoke, he directly took the device from the other party.
The LCD screen displayed his ID photo, electronic identity number, and occupational information…
Qing Chen saw that it clearly stated on the occupation section: Supervisor of the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau, Section One…
Qing Chen was puzzled.
Firstly, other Shadow Candidates all entered Intelligence Bureau Three, why did he enter Intelligence Bureau One?
Moreover, other Shadow Candidates entered as trainee Supervisors, but he directly beca a Supervisor, without the word “trainee.”
However, Qing Chen didn’t understand the Federation’s operational system yet, so he couldn’t make a judgnt now.
He returned the identity verification device to Li nglin, “Pay attention next ti.”
“Yes, yes, have a good trip,” Li nglin bowed several tis until he confird that the three pickup trucks had driven away before straightening up.
A soldier ard with a gun dared to co over only at this ti, “What’s wrong, Officer? Why are you so polite to a young man?”
Li nglin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Only then did he realize that his back had been soaked with sweat.
He said to the soldier, “What do you know? He’s from Intelligence Bureau One. Are those living Yama kings soone we can provoke? And he beca a Supervisor at such a young age, he must be a big shot from the Qing Family.”
The soldier was stunned, “Is he a Shadow Candidate?”
Li nglin shook his head, “No, Shadow Candidates all enter Intelligence Bureau Three, and they are all trainee Supervisors. To be promoted from a trainee Supervisor to a Supervisor, it takes at least a year of gold-plating, and the authority of a trainee Supervisor and a Supervisor is completely different. But the most important thing is that the Qing Family wouldn’t send a Shadow Candidate to Intelligence Bureau One as a cat’s paw.”
“Cat’s paw?” The soldier was stunned.
“You guys don’t know these things,” Li nglin thought about the gossip and said, “Intelligence Bureau Two is managed by the Li Clan, Intelligence Bureau Three is managed by the Qing Family, Intelligence Bureau Four is managed by the Chen Family, Intelligence Bureau Six is managed by Shendai, and Intelligence Bureau Seven is managed by Koshima. Only Intelligence Bureau One and Intelligence Bureau Five are special.”
“There’s such a thing?” The soldier was puzzled.
Li nglin proudly said, “What can you low-level soldiers know?”
“Then what’s special about Intelligence Bureau One and Intelligence Bureau Five?” The soldier asked, knowing that his superior wanted to show off his knowledge and imdiately acted as a foil.
Li nglin said, “Let’s talk about Intelligence Bureau Five first. Those are all forensic doctors, so no one usually pays attention to them. Intelligence Bureau One is special; people from all Conglorates are in it, vying for power and profit, like raising fighting insects. Intelligence Bureau One has more power and higher priority than the other departnts, but the internal struggles are the most intense, and few people have a good ending.”
According to the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau’s regulations, Intelligence Bureau One has the right to access the files of other departnts, and if they tear their faces off, they even have the right to take prisoners directly from others.
Li nglin looked at the three pickup trucks driving away and suddenly wondered if this young Supervisor had rushed back from outside to help a certain Shadow Candidate win this round.
According to the annual Shadow Succession practice, the Shadow Succession only has four rounds. Although the last two rounds take the longest, the third round usually reveals who is outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and who is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
After this round is over, the power factions within the Qing Family will start to take sides.
Li nglin said to the soldier, “Rember the number of this Wilderness Hunters team, 0291, add it to our whitelist, and don’t deduct their money this ti. Also, let them pass directly in the future, and don’t charge them fees.”

…
After the three pickup trucks entered the city, Sun Chuci received a ssage on his phone: Account credited with 85,000 yuan in bounty reward; this bounty reward is exempt from personal inco tax.
Sun Chuci was speechless; he thought his earnings would be deducted, but they were all paid in full.
The car was silent; the usually lively Tuanzi didn’t speak, and the car radio remained quiet.
Qing Chen smiled and looked at Sun Chuci, “Where do you live in City 10?”
Sun Chuci hesitated. He didn’t know how to interact with such a big shot from the Inner World correctly and could only cautiously say, “We live on Ningbi North Street in the Fifth District…”
Qing Chen recalled the City 10 map he had seen before and instantly locked onto the location of Ningbi North Street, like navigation.
He said, “I live only two blocks away from you. You can call if you need anything.”
Sun Chuci was stunned, “Don’t you live in the Upper Three Districts?”
“Don’t call that,” Qing Chen chuckled, “We don’t need to be so formal. Regardless, I’m very grateful for the ride.”
The houses Li Xiurui Old Master bought for him were both in the Third District.
However, Qing Chen didn’t live in the Upper Three Districts because he wanted to keep a low profile.
The Upper Three Districts of City 10 are full of socialites, especially many celebrity actors. Living there, you might be unintentionally photographed by paparazzi.
Therefore, he rented a house in advance on the edge of the Fifth District; it only takes twenty minutes to drive to the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau, which is quite convenient.
“By the way,” Qing Chen looked at Sun Chuci, “Are you college students in the Outer World? Tuanzi asked a lot of questions before; I can tell you are good students.”
Sun Chuci hesitated and finally honestly revealed the truth, “We are all students from Zheng City University in the Outer World. However, in our Outer World, getting into university is easier than in the Inner World, so there’s nothing to be proud of about being a college student.”
Tuanzi added from the side, “Sun Chuci is the chairman of the student union at our Zheng City University.”
Sun Chuci shook his head, “It doesn’t an anything.”
Until this mont, these students still considered Qing Chen an Inner World native and didn’t think that Qing Chen was also a Ti Traveler.
Qing Chen asked, “By the way, are there any well-known Ti Traveler organizations in Outer World Zheng City?”
Sun Chuci thought for a mont and said, “There are two or three well-known ones internally, but the Zheng City Ti Travelers fight among themselves quite a bit, so they are not very famous among all the Ti Traveler organizations.”
“Oh,” Qing Chen nodded, “What about Ti Traveler organizations in other places? Are there any particularly famous ones?”
Sun Chuci thought for a mont and said, “Kunlun, Nine Provinces, Matrix, Daybreak, Red Leaf… These are considered relatively famous. Daybreak is relatively close to our Zheng City; I heard that organization is quite powerful.”
Qing Chen was astonished. Daybreak’s reputation had already spread to Zheng City?
