Ling Pingan's worries 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 to it and turn a deaf ear to it. He would only think of countermeasures when he was really on the verge of a crisis.

Therefore, after playing games for a day and sleeping for a night, he forgot about the sorority the next day.

He walked to Aunt Cai's breakfast shop next door and 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 and look at 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.

Back at the bookstore, he ate breakfast and muttered, “What's going on?”

He felt that Aunt Cai's condition didn't seem right.

It seemed to be even more abnormal than when the real estate market was booming.

He suspiciously swiped open his phone.

While eating the dumplings, he looked at the local neighborhood chat group.

His expression instantly became extremely strange.

“The rent has actually increased to this extent?”

The neighbors in the neighborhood chat group were all discussing the recent rent.

The latest rent for a small one-bedroom flat of about ten square meters had already risen to 8,000 Yuan a month..

And this was in a very remote place.

“What's going on?” Ling Ping'an felt a little baffled.

Didn't the government already regulate the speculation of real estate and even issued a doc.u.ment banning the speculation of real estate development?

The house price didn't go up, but the rent went up?

“It's just a rumor and legend…” He pursed his lips, “It's so powerful?”

Thinking about it carefully, he lowered his head helplessly because this was the world.

As long as enough people believed in it, the fake could become the real thing.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an began to calculate.

His shop, plus the two master bedrooms, living room and kitchen upstairs, they could probably be rented out for 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 Pingan decisively erased this idea. It was not worth it!

Thus, he continued eating his breakfast with a peace of mind.

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.

“According to what our station found out, the registration for the national examination in the Guangnan region begins today…”

“From today onwards, in the Guangnan region, all fresh graduates, past graduates and university graduates can register at relevant registration points in cities and counties… They can also log on to the official website of the National Civil Service Examination Bureau to register…”

Listening to the news, Ling Ping'an muttered, “The national examination… has nothing to do with me… Although civil servants are good… it's too difficult and too bitter!”

There were three paths in the system of the Federal Empire.

Among these three paths, the most st.u.r.dy one was the civil service system.

They were also the elites that were selected from the national examination.

The so-called fierce generals would definitely appear in the army, while the Prime Minister would appear in the prefectures and counties.

In the design of the Federal Empire's power, the strength of the civil service system was the strongest.

They were a group that relied on their political achievements to speak for themselves.

The truly capable ones went up, while the mediocre ones went down.

From the central federal government to the local government, those who could take charge of a region and a side were all experts that had conquered thousands of people. They were all outstanding.

Naturally, it was extremely difficult to get into this system.

Without a diploma from a key university, the probability of pa.s.sing the national examination was infinitely close to zero.

The graduates from key universities were already the result of the compet.i.tion of tens of thousands of people.

The difficulty was not inferior to the imperial scholars examination in ancient times.

However, getting into the civil service was only the beginning.

The person would need to work from the gra.s.sroots, the lowest level and go through the new compet.i.tion once again.

In the end, those who ascended to the throne of the cabinet and even those who occupied the position of Prime Minister were all strong people who had eliminated countless opponents.

A sc.u.mbag like Ling Ping'an didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.

Scooping the tofu pudding in his bowl, Ling Ping'an continued to listen to the news.

“This station news: this year's College Entrance Examination Outstanding Teacher and Student Recognition a.s.sembly will be held this afternoon in the city council's Physician a.s.sembly Hall…”

Ling Ping'an raised his head and looked at the television screen.

One by one, young students appeared on the television.

Looking at these young, immature, but full of vigor college students, he sighed and said, “It's great to be young!”

Thus, he turned around, took out a mirror from the window and looked at it himself.

He nodded in satisfaction.

In the mirror, he was still very young.

He was not bald, nor did he have acne.

Very good!

With face blindness, he finally did not have to worry that he might be considered 'too ugly' by the outside world.

The capital.

Construction teams began to enter.

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 sorority next month.

When Zhang Hui got off work, she just happened to see the workers, wearing helmets, climbing up the high-voltage power tower and installing the high-alt.i.tude surveillance equipment.

She nodded and said to the people around her, “The safety measures that we have deployed should also be implemented as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”

“We have already begun to transfer officers from the nearby governor-general areas such as Bihuai and the central federal government…”

“It is expected that at the beginning of next month, every street will be monitored by a school-level surveillance…”

A man who looked like a secretary said from the side, “In addition, with the approval of the central federal government, the Garrison Command of the imperial capital will activate all thirteen backup psionic power surveillance radars from tomorrow onwards…”

“It will scan the imperial capital whole day…”

“To ensure that no illegal transcendent being without registration will enter the imperial capital…”

Zhang Hui nodded as she listened, “Tell the Garrison Command not to lower their guard!”

“Psionic power warning radars aren't omnipotent either!”

“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, they had been complacent.

Even the Blackguard proudly declared that they had completely eliminated external risks.

But what was the truth?

First, there was the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Beizhou. It was like a huge slap on the face of the Federal Empire.

Then, when Jiangcheng City discovered the hidden hand of the Duke of Devil in Pan Garden, they were practically mocking and ridiculing the Federal Empire.

It was the same in Beizhou and Jiangcheng City.

What about the imperial capital?

Zhang Hui did not dare to lower her guard.

The Empire was not only facing enemies from the outside.

There were also lunatics from within!

Those lunatics dreamed of destroying and trampling on everything that the Blackguard had defended and persevered on.

Zhang Hui had a premonition that they would definitely jump out this time.

The secretary nodded, “I will pa.s.s your opinion on to the Garrison Command…”

Jiangcheng City International Airport.

An international flight slowly landed.

Andrew carried his luggage and walked out of the cabin. Through the terminal, he stepped into the eastern land.

He was wearing standard summer clothes with a special collar.

Before pa.s.sing through the security check, a consular officer took his pa.s.sport and information and looked at it carefully.

“Mr. Alexanderia?” He asked, “Are you a graduate of Jiangcheng University?”

Andrew revealed a brilliant smile, “Yes!”

“Which year are you from?” The other party asked.

“The 35th!”

“The Republic year 2835?”

“No!” Andrew smiled, “The 35th graduate of Jiangcheng University!”

He said, “I'm not that old!”

The consular officer smiled and stamped on his pa.s.sport, “I wish you a pleasant trip!” The other party raised his head and a young round face, “Senior!”

“You should call me senior brother!” Andrew corrected him, “Junior brother!”

“Yes!” The consular officer smiled and handed the pa.s.sport back, “Senior brother!”

Andrew took it, smiled and walked forward with a bow.

The moment he walked out of the security channel, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had practiced this kind of interrogation many times.

He gently fastened 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 Easterners' psionic power warning system seemed to be airtight, but in fact, there was a huge loophole.

Taking these dead objects for example, they could only respond to certain psionic power reactions at specific concentrations.

In other words, as long as he lowered his psionic power concentration below a certain value, he could blind them.

Of course, he understood that this was only the first hurdle.

When he walked out of this airport, he would most likely be scanned by the psionic power warning radars from this country.

And he still didn't know much about how that radar worked but it didn't matter!

He walked to the elevator and got on it.

When he got on the elevator, he secretly put a brooch on his clothes.

He walked out of the airport.

An obscure ripple pa.s.sed through his body.

It didn't raise any alarms!

He laughed, “Although the design of the Easterners is exquisite, it's full of loopholes!”

It was because their system was a machine.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, a machine would only make two judgments: legal or illegal.

In other words, as long as he had a 'legal' ident.i.ty.

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' ident.i.ty would be easy to forge.

On the black market, the registered ident.i.ty of a Federal Empire extraordinaire was only a few tens of thousands of Yuan.

Although, these ident.i.ties were very easy to be seen through, the Blackguard would always pay attention to and carry out regular checks on all the legal extraordinaires.

But…

They couldn't check every day.

So, as long as they caught a time difference, they could sneak in before they could find out the problem.

Then, the system that they regarded as an iron wall was just a decoration!

Of course, Andrew did not dare to take it lightly.

He knew how terrifying this land was!

According to the intelligence, the psionic power of the Duke of h.e.l.l from Lossia had disappeared from here.

Then, a drastic change occurred in h.e.l.l.

Duke Ivy had completely fallen!

Even his spirituality had been erased from the root!

One of the Lords of h.e.l.l, the Master of Ivy, Beelzebub's roar could be heard even in the Church of Bone.

But he could only be ineffectual and furious because he was far from waking up!

Not to mention crawling into the present world to avenge for Duke Ivy!

But apparently, the King of Fallen Angels, who only had a little bit of consciousness waking up, regarded the great envoy as the murderer of Ivy.

“I wonder what kind of horror Ivy has experienced in this city…” Andrew thought.

This was also one of the information he wanted to gather on this trip.

Of course…

His bigger mission was still to be an a.s.sa.s.sin, sending that disobedient d.u.c.h.ess Rhine to the Heavens!

“This is my destiny!” Andrew drew a holy talisman in his heart.

The Lord gave him the spear of sin.

It was for him to carry out this destiny.

Let the d.u.c.h.ess of Rhine, under 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 taxi, he said in a very fluent oriental language, “Master, Jiangcheng Hotel… Thank you!”

The driver nodded and said in a very friendly manner, “Sir, your official language is really fluent!”

“I used to study here…” Andrew smiled, “Speaking of which, I almost got into your country's civil service!!”

The driver chuckled, “Then you are really amazing!”

For the citizen, it was common for foreigners to get into their country's civil service and work in their country.

This happened more than a thousand years ago.

After the great ancestor, there were more and more.

The Empire's science and technology, social and economic development, and even ideological and theoretical construction all had the strength of these people.

Therefore, in the Federal Empire, people praised a foreigner in the most direct way was: you can take the civil service examination.

This was indeed the highest praise because the civil service servants were scholars out from the imperial examination in the past!

Naturally, such a person, no matter where he came from, would be respected.

The people of the Empire, not only respect knowledge, but also respect power.

Andrew laughed, did not speak again.

The driver saw the situation, also focused on driving.

The car drove out of the airport, into the highway, and then through the city, came to a hotel.

This was the first choice of most inbound travelers: Jiangcheng Hotel.

Andrew got off 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, Ident.i.ty Certificate, and pa.s.sport at the front desk, he was taken to the seventh floor of the hotel. It was a guest room facing the street.

He walked in, inserted the room card and closed the door.

Then he placed his suitcase in the closet by the door.

Then he unb.u.t.toned his clothes, walked to the window and drew the curtains.

From here, he could clearly see Rhine's restaurant on the fourth floor of the mall across the street.
