"Cellphone? Can you call people who are far away from you? " Hearing that, Shanghai Yang was excited. "Can you show it to me?"
"Sure!" Gu Ning said, then said to Leng Shaoting, "Shao Shaoting, you can go to a place far away, about 30 meters away, then call me."
"Sure," Leng Shaoting said, then walked ahead quickly. He stopped about 30 meters away from Gu Ning and Shangguan Yang, then called Gu Ning.
Once the call went through, Gu Ning's cellphone vibrated. Because Gu Ning liked to set it to vibrate most of the time, it wasn't convenient to have a loud sound.
Shanghai Yang, however, kept staring at Gu Ning's cellphone. When the black screen lit up all of a sudden and there were words on it, Shanghai Yang was amazed.
After that, Gu Ning answered the call and turned it on, then Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning's name from the other side of the phone.
"I can really hear you!" Seeing that, Shanghai Yang was even more amazed. He said to the phone, "My dear disciple, can you hear me?"
Shanghai Yang was afraid that Leng Shaoting couldn't hear him, so he deliberately raised his voice.
"Yes," Leng Shaoting said.
"Jesus! I can't believe there's such a magical thing in this world! "Shanghai Yang exclaimed.
"There are many magical things in this world, and I'll introduce them to you in the future," Gu Ning said. "This is a loudspeaker, so it can be heard by people around you. Normally, you don't need to use it, so when you answer a call, you can just press the green dot and put it next to your ear," Gu Ning said, then continued to talk about the phone.
Saying that, Gu Ning turned off the loudspeaker, then put it next to Shanghai Yang's ear. Leng Shaoting then said a few words to Shanghai Yang. Shanghai Yang was so excited that he was like a little kid.
In fact, Shangguan Yang behaved like a child. He was just an old kid after all.
If Shanghai Yang had been a serious old man, it wouldn't have been easy for them to persuade him to accept Leng Shaoting as his disciple, and he wouldn't have been attracted by delicious food so easily.
"It's so fun! Girl, can you give me one?" Shanghai Yang looked at Gu Ning with anticipation.
"Of course, but you can't buy it until we go to a place where it's on sale," Gu Ning said. She planned to buy a cellphone and a SIM card for Shanghai Yang once they arrived in the city center, because it wouldn't be easy for them to contact each other in the future. After all, they didn't live together.
It was always inconvenient for young people to live together with old people, so Leng Shaoting arranged for Shanghai Yang to live in a siheyuan.
Although it was in the downtown area, it wasn't noisy. Most of the buildings were green, so it was very convenient for walking.
In addition, there were several other siheyuan nearby, but they were all commercialized. Leng Shaoting's siheyuan was the only one that was private, and it was the largest one among all the siheyuan nearby.
"Sure, sure!" Shanghai Yang was excited once he heard Gu Ning's answer. It wasn't a big deal to wait for a while.
After that, Gu Ning and Shanghai Yang continued to walk forward, following Leng Shaoting.
As for the SIM card number, Gu Ning planned to use her ID card to apply for it first. Shanghai Yang wasn't born in this era, so he didn't have an ID card, so he couldn't apply for it.
However, after Gu Ning mentioned it to Leng Shaoting, Leng Shaoting said, "I'll arrange an ID card for you in the Household Registration System of the Public Security Bureau right now, and it'll be ready soon. Once they go to the city, they can directly apply for a temporary ID card for you in the Public Security Bureau. We can get the temporary ID card soon, so we can buy a new phone. Once we apply for a temporary ID card, it'll be convenient for us to live in the hotel tonight and fly back to the capital tomorrow. We can apply for a long-term ID card once we're back in the capital. "
As long as Leng Shaoting was involved, there was nothing he couldn't solve. He just needed to tell them the reason.
Anyway, Leng Shaoting was the guarantor, so if Shanghai Yang did anything illegal, he could directly turn to Leng Shaoting.
"That's great." Gu Ning agreed.
"ID card? What's that?" Shanghai Yang asked with curiosity.
"In ancient times, ID cards are official records that are used to prove one's identity. In this era, many things require ID cards, such as the registration of a hotel. First of all, in case something happens, others can confirm your identity. Second of all, it's used to prevent criminal suspects. If a criminal is wanted by the Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Bureau will put the criminal's ID card information into the system. Therefore, as long as a criminal uses his ID card to register in a hotel, he will be discovered, and the Public Security Bureau will know where he is. I don't know how to explain the system to you right now, but it's the Internet technology in our era, and there are many more, so it's hard to explain it in a short time, "Gu Ning said.
Some things couldn't be explained in a few words, because they were all theoretical after all. It would be easier to understand them after seeing them in person.
"Wow, it's so magical!" Shanghai Yang rounded his eyes in shock.
In Shanghai Yang's eyes, those things were very magical, just like the magic of cultivators was to mortals.
In fact, it was even more serious than that.
"Exactly! There's another thing. As long as you're not in a remote place, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If you do something bad in a place under surveillance, it will be recorded and used as evidence. Therefore, as long as you're outside, don't use magic easily even if there's no one around. Mortals are very weak anyway, so if someone dares to offend you, you can easily beat him down, so there's no need to use magic. Because of the existence of surveillance cameras, many criminals will be caught soon after they break the law, "Gu Ning said.
Although there might not be anyone watching the surveillance cameras all the time, it was still possible that someone happened to see it. Or something might happen before and after, and it needed to be investigated. Therefore, it was better to take it easy.
"Wow, what do the surveillance cameras look like?" Shanghai Yang was more and more curious about Gu Ning's words. He couldn't wait to see them.
Gu Ning took out her phone without delay and showed Shanghai Yang some surveillance videos posted on the Internet.
