Since ancient times, there were plenty of seniors who went to prison. However, it could be said with certainty that Xia Fei was the first to go to alien prison.

Since ancient times, all the seniors who went to prison hoped for the prison cell doors to open up suddenly. But Xia Fei was living comfortably within this prison cell, and he didnt really wish to leave this place.

It was 6 oclock Earth time, and Xia Fei was curled up, lying down on that narrow single bed. He used an army-green blanket to bury him from head to toe while sleeping soundly.

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

At the bedside, there was a cheap digital watch letting out an awful and ear-piercing sound that woke Xia Fei up from his dream.

He conveniently pushed the silent button on the watch before getting up from the bed in a daze.

He silently counted to three before abruptly opening his eyes.

A few seconds later, Xia Fei confirmed that he was still in the prison cell, and he immediately revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

This prison cell was more comfortable than Xia Feis home. The cell was less than ten square meters, but it contained all sorts of facilities. Whether it was spring, summer, fall, or winter, the cell would always remain warm, and there was even an independent shower room.

Xia Fei took a hot shower in the shower room before retrieving his clothes from the smart washing machine.

Xia Fei couldnt describe his passion and love for such an advanced washing machine. The dirty clothes would only need five minutes to be cleaned, and they looked as though they were carefully smoothened, and they were fresh and bright like the sunlight.

This was simply the ultimate sacred tool for a bachelor. With it, there wasnt any need to worry about a pile of smelly socks, and there wasnt any trouble distinguishing between slightly clean or slightly dirty clothes.

After eating a breakfast that tasted like a Chinese toothpaste, Xia Fei sat on the bed and stared blankly. If he were still on Earth, he would be riding his bicycle towards the company to retrieve the packages before distributing them.

The bicycle courier was rather a trendy job as there wasnt any city that didnt have a traffic jam; therefore, bicycles became a priority for the couriers.

Xia Fei earned $5 for every delivery, and the income of $6,000 a month was rather fine. It was enough for Xia Fei to live in a major city like Beijing. If he were lucky, he could watch a movie every week while enjoying a cup of coke and a bucket of popcorn.

After sighing, Xia Fei decided to do some push-ups to kill the unbearably slow-moving time.

He placed his legs on the bed and his palms on the ground.

1, 2, 3, 4

Sweat gradually dripped from his head as the originally simple exercise was getting increasingly difficult, but Xia Fei wasnt planning to give up.

After completing the push-ups, he took a small break before doing another set of push-ups.

Until every trace of strength was exhausted, Xia Fei laid down on the bed and covered his head with the blanket.

Subsequently, Xia Fei went back to sleep

Wake up, shower, eat, push-ups, sleep, repeat.

This was Xia Feis daily routine, and it had been on repeat for half a month. Of course, he would still have to receive Fatty Connors routine interrogation.

It was unknown how much time had passed, there was a series of footsteps in the hallway, approaching closer.

Xia Fei, who was covered in his blanket, opened his eyes with vigilance. Fatty Connors footsteps were heavy and very lazy, making it easy to distinguish. Xia Fei wasnt familiar with the other set of footsteps. It was a resounding and sharp sound, much like high-heels stomping on the ground.

A woman? Xia Fei mumbled to himself and quickly dispelled this conjecture. Why would there be a woman in prison? It must be my imagination.

Clatter!

The heavy metal door was opened, and two individuals walked into the room one after the other.

Xia Fei was already used to this. According to the routine, they would then bring him to the interrogation room before asking a series of inexplicable questions.

Hey, it doesnt matter how many times you ask, my answers wont change. I am Xia Fei, 17 years old, Earthling, ID No. ESS370402 I have no money, car, house, or girlfriend. Im not what you call a Phantom.' Xia Fei said with frustration.

After lifting the blanket, Xia Fei sat up from the bed and rubbed his bloodshot eyes. Alright, I will follow you. Do you understand that you are violating human rights? Earth might be a low-class civilized planet, but we are still humans.

Xia Fei rubbed his eyes and suddenly stopped moving because there was an unfamiliar lady who appeared in front of him apart from Fatty Connor.

She was around 1.75 meters tall with a curvaceous body. She had gorgeous red hair that flowed over her shoulder. From her looks, she seemed to be around 27 or 28 years old, and she was a natural beauty who didnt need any cosmetics. Her entire body emitted a mature ladys charm.

She was wearing a green professional suit, and there was a silver circle crest on her breast. On it, there were three sparkling stars that were very dazzling.

The red-haired beauty looked at Xia Fei with her dazzling eyes, so much that he felt a chill down in his spine. Suddenly, she burst into laughter while covering her mouth as Xia Fei noticed that she had a mischievous dimple on her left cheek. This is the Phantom that you captured?

Phantom was this universes most mysterious and the most unlucky assassin. It was rumored that he had only done a single job, but he was already one of the most wanted criminals in the universe.

Fatty Connors face was flushed red as he stammered and said, I We thought

I dont know what you people think, nor do I wish to know. The red-haired beauty sounded as though she was scolding a child. You Secret Police are truly living up to your inefficiency. You actually captured a primitive human who hasnt even unlocked his seventh brain region to impersonate the Phantom. Can I trouble you people to be professional? Even if you wish to use an impersonator, can you find one who looks rather convincing?

Fatty Conners forehead started to sweat. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, When we were patrolling Earth, we noticed that he was wearing the same Moore Stone pendant that Phantom also wore.

After speaking, Fatty Conner took out a red pendant from his pocket and handed it to the red-haired beauty. The pendant had a shape that was like a drop of fresh blood. On it was a yellow label on which the word evidence was written.

The red-haired beauty glanced at it while her hand trembled before throwing the pendant back to Xia Fei. Xia Fei caught the pendant and thought to himself, Brother, you have put me through such suffering. When I picked you up, I thought I picked up a treasure. Look at what happened? I was made to serve an unjust prison sentence for half a month, and it was in an alien prison!

Xia Fie didnt think too much before tearing off the label on the pendant and wearing it on his neck again.

Such a pendant is around 50 star coins in the free market, and you can have as many as you want. Does it mean that anyone who has this pendant is the Phantom? The red-haired beauty spoke with disdain, Furthermore, it is only a rumor that Phantom also wears a blood-drop shaped Moore Stone pendant. In fact, no one knows what he looks like.

But he is just a primitive person, why would he have the Moore Stone as a pendant? Isnt this suspicious? Connor was trying to justify himself.

The red-haired beauty was rather angry as she said with a cold face, Why cant primitive people have the Moore Stone pendant? Did you investigate their planet? What if their planet does produce Moore Stone?

Connor didnt continue speaking, and he was constantly using his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face. He was so nervous; it felt as though this red-haired beauty might eat him up at any time.

Xia Fei frowned slightly and used a firm tone to speak, Apologies beauty, I dont mean to interrupt you. But, my name is Xia Fei, and Im an Earthling, not some primitive person.

The red-haired beauty turned around to look at Xia Fei with a surprised expression. Beauty? This appellation isnt bad, I like it very much. It is a pity that you are still a primitive person in my eyes, and it is a fact that will not change.

Her eyes looked just like a human observing a monkey, and it made Xia Fei very uncomfortable.

Beauty. Xia Fei revealed a smile that was radiant as the sun. I really am a human and not a primitive person who uses stone tools to hunt.

The red-haired beauty laughed and said, Why? Do you think you are not a primitive person if you dont use stone tools for hunting? While speaking, she took out a micro-calculator that was the size of a cigarette box and pressed on it lightly.

Swish!

A screen suddenly projected, and the red-haired beauty quickly entered the word Earth.

Earth. It was discovered by Universe Explorer Madoff three years ago. The civilization level is between a primitive planet and a class 1 civilized planet. Seven billion Earthlings live in 224 countries.

The chances of an Earthling unlocking the seventh brain region is only 1/100 million. The Universal Pan-Human Alliance defined Earth as a class 0.5 civilized planet. The red-haired beauty read the information about Earth that was stated on the projected screen. She didnt even try to conceal her mocking tone towards Earth.

It is very regretful. Earth is only a class 0.5 civilized planet. Therefore, to the numerous universes, you are just primitive people who just learned how to look at the starry sky.

Connor also laughed while his massive beer belly jiggled.

The red-haired beauty cast an icy cold glance at Connor. You actually dared to laugh? If I have to say it, your Blue Sea Stars Secret Police is worse than the primitive people. You people are simply a bunch of fools!

Connor held back his laughter awkwardly as he scratched his plump head with resentment, but he didnt dare to retort.

Xia Fei was speechless as he felt this was the first time in life that he had such difficulty in proving that he was a human.

Firstly, Earth has already formed the Earth Federal Government according to the request of the Universal Pan-Human Alliance. Secondly, our chances of unlocking the seventh brain region are at 1 in a million, not 1 in 100 million. Thirdly

Xia Fei stared blankly for a moment and sighed. Forget it, why do I even have to argue? What does it have to do with me even if Earth isnt a civilized planet?

The red-haired beauty laughed as she felt it was rather fun. How can you say it has nothing to do with you? Earth is your home planet after all, even if it is a little primitive.

Xia Fei stood up and stretched his body. So what if Earth is a low-class civilization? No matter how wealthy the government is, they will not spare any money for me. I will still be a person who has to work every day and pay my taxes and rent on time.

Xia Fei then took a closer look at the crest on the red-haired beautys breast. Eh? Adjudicator! You are actually an Adjudicator! No wonder Fatty Connor is so afraid of you.

Connor glared at Xia Fei, but he didnt refute as Xia Fei was right. He was just a bureau chief of a class 1 civilized planets police station. In the face of an Adjudicator, he wasnt even an insect. Moreover, this beauty was a Silver 3-star Adjudicator.

Keke, a primitive person like you actually knows of an Adjudicator? The red-haired beauty didnt really bother.

Last year, the Adjudicator Union established a branch on Earth, and I heard that Adjudicators are among the noblest professions in the universe. Although I dont know how noble it is, I know that all Adjudicators are wealthy people.

Connor spoke with disdain, No wonder you are a primitive person from an uncivilized planet. The great Adjudicators have such respected status. How can it be compared with vulgar money?

Connor suddenly realized that this was a great chance to bootlick this beauty Adjudicator.

The Adjudicators and Monastics are known as the two super professions. They have the priority to use most of the public facilities and can freely enter planets that arent open to others. Furthermore, they enjoy a non-interest credit limit of one million star coins and dont even need any collateral.

Once a person is declared as a criminal by the Adjudicator Union, the Adjudicators have the right to execute the criminal, and they arent restricted by any law. Each Adjudicator possesses one ultimate execution authority. Even if the Adjudicator uses the execution authority to kill a president, they will not be prosecuted.

Any intent to bring harm to the Adjudicator is viewed as a declaration of war against the entire Adjudicator Union. The offender would be listed in the super blacklist of the Adjudicator Union and shall be pursued for eternity until death!

Xia Fei was attracted to the outrageously special privileges of the Adjudicators as his eyes lit up. I understand now. Adjudicators are rich people that arent restricted by laws! How can I become an Adjudicator?

Ha, you are just a primitive person who hasnt even unlocked your seventh brain region, and you actually wish to become an Adjudicator? This is probably the greatest joke I have heard in my life. The red-haired beauty spoke with slight arrogance, I have other matters to attend to. Young man, see you again.

After finishing her statement, the red-haired beauty turned and prepared to leave. Fatty Connor immediately ran over and politely opened the heavy door for her.

When the red-haired beauty was at the entrance, she suddenly stopped and said, No, you are a primitive person. We shouldnt have any chance to meet again.

Xia Fei didnt mind her arrogant words while his mind was rapidly thinking.

Hold on. Xia Fei set his mind and chased after them before asking calmly, I wish to know. How do you people plan on dealing with me?

The red-haired beauty looked at Connor indifferently while the latter said in an unpleasant tone, It is obvious that we will be sending you back. Do you think that we will feed you for life?

Xia Fei smirked and unhurriedly reached out his hand. I have been captured by you people here while being innocent. Because of your mistakes, you have wasted 15 days and 8 hours of my life. You have to compensate for my economic loss and psychological damage!

Compensation?

You! Connor had an ashen face as he said, Kid, dont forget that we have planted a translation microchip in you. Otherwise, you wouldnt even understand our language or our written words. Do you know the price of a translation microchip? As a human of class 0.5 civilized planet, even if you spend your remaining life working, you still wouldnt be able to afford it!

Xia Fei suddenly realized something and reached for his neck. There was a shallow and red scar on the back of his neck. It was a mark that was left behind due to the planting of the translation microchip.

Many thanks for your reminder. I nearly forgot about this matter as there is still a need to include the compensation of my physical damage. I didnt ask for you to plant this microchip in me. Do you know how painful it was when this thing was planted in my body?

Connor abhorred Xia Fei for not being satisfied with his gains. Connor wished he could strangle Xia Fei to death right
