Ling Ping'an's troubles didn't last long.
Because he quickly forgot about it.
He was such a person. When he encountered a problem, he would turn a blind eye and listen to it until the fire really burned his eyebrows before he thought of a solution.
Therefore, after playing games for a day and sleeping for a night.
When he woke up the next day, he forgot about the Fellowship Party.
Walking to Aunt Cai's breakfast shop next door, Ling Ping'an said as usual, "Aunt Cai, are the steamed dumplings ready?"
In the end, Aunt Cai sat in her seat and didn't even move.
He had no choice but to shout, "Aunt Cai?"
Only then did the other party raise her head. When she saw Ling Ping'an, she revealed a friendly smile, "Ping'an..."
"The steamed dumplings are ready!"
She immediately picked up the steamed dumplings for Ling Ping'an skillfully, packed a bowl of tofu pudding, and handed it over.
Ling Ping'an took out his phone and scanned the code to pay.
Returning to the bookstore, he muttered as he ate breakfast, "What's going on?"
He felt that Aunt Cai's condition didn't seem right.
It seemed to be even more wrong than when the real estate market skyrocketed.
He suspiciously swiped open his phone.
As he ate the dumplings, he looked at the local neighborhood group in his hand.
His expression immediately became extremely strange.
"The rent has actually risen to such a level?"
The neighbors in the WeChat group were all discussing about the recent rent.
The latest rent for a small single room of about ten square meters had already risen to 8,000 yuan a month...
Even this was a very remote place.
"What's going on?" Ling Ping'an felt a little baffled.
Didn't the government already regulate real estate speculation and even issue a document to prohibit speculative real estate development?
The house price didn't rise, but the rent soared?
"It's just a rumor and legend..." he curled his lips, "It's actually so powerful?"
Thinking about it carefully, he also lowered his head helplessly.
Because the world was like this.
As long as there were enough people who believed it, the fake could also become true.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an began to calculate.
His shop, plus the two master bedrooms, living room, and kitchen upstairs, if he rented them out, he would probably be able to earn tens of thousands of yuan a month?
But...
What was the use of money?
Considering that he still had to find a house and move, it was very troublesome.
Ling Ping'an decisively erased this thought. It wasn't worth it!
Thus, he continued to eat his breakfast with a clear conscience.
He turned on the television and started watching the news.
The recent news was almost all related to the national examination.
It was the same this morning.
"News from our station?
Guangnan national examination registration?
From today onwards … "
"From now on?
In the Guangnan region, all fresh graduates, past graduates, and university graduates can register at the relevant registration points in each city and county … You can also log on to the official website of the National Civil Service Examination Bureau to register … "
Listening to the news, Ling Ping'an pouted, "The national examination... has nothing to do with me... Although civil servants are good... it's too difficult and too bitter!"
The system of the Federal Empire was three-legged.
In these three legs?
The most solid one was the system of civil officials.
They were the elites selected from the national examination.
As the saying goes, a valiant general emerges from the ranks, while the prime minister rises from the prefectures and counties.
The power of the Federal Empire was being designed?
The power of the civil official system was the strongest.
They were a group that relied on their achievements.
A truly capable person?
The mediocre would be dismissed.
From the central government to the local governments, anyone who could govern a region and take charge of an area?
All of them were experts who had fought their way out of a single-plank bridge?
He was a powerful man raised by Gu.
Naturally, this system was connected?
They were all incomparably difficult.
Not mentioning anything else?
Without a diploma from a key university?
The chances of passing the national examination were infinitely close to zero.
And the graduates of key universities were already the result of competition between tens of thousands of people.
The difficulty?
It was no less than the ancient imperial examinations.
However, being admitted to the civil service was only the beginning.
From the grassroots, from the lowest level, a new competition and Gu cultivation would begin again.
In the end, those who ascended to the throne of the cabinet and even the position of the Prime Minister were all strong people who had eliminated countless opponents.
A bad student like Ling Ping'an didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.
Ling Ping'an continued to listen to the news as he picked at the tofu pudding in his bowl.
"This station news: This year's college entrance examination outstanding teachers and students commendation conference will be held this afternoon at the city council auditorium..."
Ling Ping'an raised his head and looked at the television screen.
One by one, young and immature students appeared on the television.
Looking at these youthful, young and inexperienced, but full of vitality, prospective college students.
He sighed, "It's good to be young!"
So, he turned around, took out a mirror from the window, and looked at himself.
He nodded in satisfaction.
In the mirror, he was still very young.
No bald head, no pimples.
Very good!
With face blindness, he finally didn't have to worry that the outside world might think that he was' too ugly '.
… …
The imperial capital.
The construction teams began to enter the site one by one.
Under the astonished gazes of the people, they began to replace all the cameras in this huge city according to the requirements.
This was the first preparation for the next month's sorority.
When Zhang Hui got off work, he happened to see the workers wearing hard hats climbing up the high-voltage tower to install the high-altitude surveillance equipment.
He nodded and said to the people around him, "The safety measures we have deployed must also be implemented as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
"We have already begun to transfer capable generals from the nearby Lianhuai, Zhongyuan, and other governor-general districts..."
"It is estimated that at the beginning of next month, every street will be monitored by a colonel..."
A man who looked like a secretary said from the side, "In addition, with the approval of the central government, the imperial capital's garrison command will activate all thirteen spare psionic power warning radars from tomorrow onwards..."
"Scanning the imperial capital with psionic power all day long..."
"This will ensure that no illegal, unregistered transcendent being will enter the imperial capital..."
Zhang Hui nodded as he listened. "Tell the garrison command not to let their guard down!"
"The psionic power warning radar is not omnipotent!"
"There are too many incredible people and things in the transcendent being world!"
Ever since the Federal Empire established a psionic power warning system that covered the entire country, it had been complacent.
Even the Blackguard proudly claimed that they had completely eliminated external risks.
But what about the truth?
First, the inexplicable foot-and-mouth disease that broke out in Beizhou was like a huge slap on the Empire's face.
Then, Jiangcheng City discovered that the Devil Duke in Pan Garden had secretly made a mockery and ridiculed the Federal Empire.
Beizhou was like this, Jiangcheng City was like this.
What about the imperial capital?
Zhang Hui did not dare to let his guard down.
The Empire was not only facing external enemies.
There were also madmen inside!
Those madmen dreamed of destroying and trampling on everything that the Blackguard defended and persisted in.
Zhang Hui had a hunch that they would definitely jump out this time.
The secretary nodded. "I will pass on your opinion to the garrison command..."
… …
Jiangcheng City International Airport.
An international flight slowly landed.
Andrew carried his luggage and walked out of the cabin. He passed through the terminal and stepped into the land of the east.
He was wearing a very standard summer suit, and his lapel was specially buttoned to the right.
Before passing through the security check, a visa officer took his passport and information and looked at it carefully.
"Mr. Alexander?" He asked, "Did you graduate from Jiangcheng University?"
Andrew revealed a bright smile. "Yes!"
"Which year are you from?" The other party asked.
"The 35th!"
"2835 of the Republican calendar?"
"No!" Andrew smiled. "The 35th graduate of Jiangcheng University!"
He said, "I'm not that old!"
The visa officer smiled and stamped his passport. "I wish you a pleasant trip!" The other party raised his head. He had a young Oriental round face. "Senior!"
"You should call me senior brother!" Andrew corrected him. "Junior brother!"
"Yes!" The visa officer smiled and handed the passport back. "Senior brother!"
Andrew took it, smiled, carried his luggage, and walked forward.
The moment he walked out of the security check passage, his brows involuntarily tightened.
He had rehearsed this kind of interrogation many times.
He gently buttoned his collar and walked to the exit of the airport.
There were two small things in front of him.
They were Xiezhi statues!
They were very common statues in the east.
However, these statues were usually connected to their psionic power warning system.
Andrew walked over slowly.
The Xiezhi statue did not respond.
He laughed.
"It seems that the so-called 'inescapable net' is nothing more than this!"
The psionic power warning system of the easterners seemed to be airtight, but in fact, there were huge loopholes.
Take these dead objects for example. They could only respond to some specific concentration of psionic power.
In other words, as long as the concentration of one's psionic power was reduced to below a certain value, one could blind them.
Of course, he understood that this was only the first stage.
When he walked out of this airport, he was likely to face the scanning of the psionic power warning radar from this country.
And he still did not know much about the working principle of that radar.
But it did not matter!
He walked to the elevator and took it.
When he got on the elevator, he secretly put a brooch on his clothes.
He walked out of the airport.
An obscure ripple passed through his body.
It did not trigger the alarm!
He laughed.
"Although the design of the easterners is exquisite, it is full of loopholes!"
Because their system was a machine.
For a machine, under normal circumstances, it would only make two judgments: legal or illegal.
In other words, as long as he had a 'legal' identity.
Then, he would be invisible in this system.
Unless he was caught breaking the law!
Otherwise, this system would be ineffective to him.
And a 'legal' identity was very easy to forge.
On the black market, a registered transcendent being of the Federal Empire was only tens of thousands of yuan.
Although these identities were easy to see through.
Because the Blackguard would pay attention to and conduct regular checks on all legal transcendent beings.
But...
They could not check every day.
Therefore, as long as they seized the time gap.
Before they could investigate the problem, they would sneak in.
Then, the system that they regarded as an impregnable wall was just a decoration!
Of course, Andrew did not dare to let his guard down.
He knew how terrifying this land was!
According to the intelligence, the psionic power signal of Lossia's Duke of Hell disappeared from here.
Then, a drastic change occurred in Hell.
Duke Ivy had completely fallen!
Even his spirituality had been erased from the source!
One of the Lords of Hell, Ivy's master, Beelzebub's roar could be heard even in the Church of Bone.
But he could only be incompetent and furious!
Because he was far from being able to wake up.
Not to mention crawling to the modern world to avenge Ivy!
But obviously, the King of Fallen Angels, who had only awakened a little consciousness, regarded the great messenger as the murderer who killed Ivy.
"I wonder what kind of horror Evie has experienced in this city …" Andrew thought.
This was also one of the information he wanted to inquire about on this trip.
Of course...
His bigger mission was still as an assassin.
Send that disobedient Duchess Rhein to heaven!
"This is my destiny!" Andrew drew a holy talisman in his heart.
The Lord handed the spear of sin to him.
It was to let him carry out this destiny.
Let Duchess Rhein, with the grace of the Lord, redeem her humble and pitiful soul!
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the taxi area and waved to stop a taxi.
After boarding the car, he said in a very fluent oriental language, "Sir, Jiangcheng City Hotel... Thank you!"
The driver nodded and said very friendly, "Customer, your official language is so fluent!"
"I used to study here..." Andrew smiled. "Speaking of which, I almost became a civil servant of your country!!"
The driver chuckled. "Then you're really amazing!"
For the people of the Federation, it was common for foreigners to become civil servants of their country and hold positions in their country.
It had existed more than a thousand years ago.
After the great ancestor, there were more and more.
The science and technology, social and economic development, and even ideological and theoretical construction of the Empire were all contributed by these people.
Therefore, in the Federal Empire, the most direct way for people to praise a foreigner was: you can go and take the civil servant examination.
This was indeed the highest praise.
Because civil servants were the Jinshi who came out of the imperial examinations in the past!
Naturally, such a person would be respected no matter where he came from.
The people of the Empire not only respected knowledge, but also power.
Andrew chuckled and did not say anything else.
Seeing this, the driver also focused on driving.
The car drove out of the airport and entered the highway. Then, it passed through the city and arrived in front of a hotel.
This was the first choice of most visitors: Jiangcheng City Hotel.
Andrew got out of the car with his luggage and paid the fare.
Then, he walked to the hotel. He had already booked a room.
After showing the electronic receipt, identity card, and passport at the front desk, he was taken to the seventh floor of the hotel, a room facing the street.
He walked in, inserted the room card, and closed the door.
Then, he put his suitcase in the closet at the door.
Then, he untied his clothes, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains.
From here, he could clearly see the Rhein restaurant on the fourth floor of the shopping mall opposite.
