After receiving help from Wise, Firefly happily left the Video Store.
Through Wise’s connections, she found a decent rental apartment, leaving only getting her ID card sorted out before she could settle down in Sixth Street.
Her new room was great, equipped with everything she needed—a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The best part was that it was cheap.
120,000 Dennies a month.
Although Firefly wasn’t too familiar with the exchange rate of Dennies, judging by the prices of goods, this figure was acceptable.
Her starting capital totaled 3 million Dennies.
According to HQ, this was exchanged from 30,000 credits that her main body earned by working part-time in Penacony.
“Credits are definitely more valuable than Dennies!
You definitely took a cut!” Firefly said thus.
HQ simply brushed off this question.
At this moment, Firefly was lying on her own small bed, staring at the blank white ceiling.
“HQ, can you help me plan my itinerary for tomorrow?” In her memories, Firefly always received Elio’s script for field missions.
In a sense, the script was also a kind of itinerary, and she had grown somewhat accustomed to following scripts.
Her main body’s trip to Penacony had a script too, after all.
“No problem, HQ is planning a da…
tomorrow’s itinerary.” “You just wanted to say date, didn’t you?” Firefly said with a hint of disdain.
“Would you like to view tomorrow’s itinerary immediately after it is finalized?” “Yeah, let me see.” HQ directly ignored Firefly’s skepticism, and Firefly didn’t mind either.
She accepted the information.
[9:00 AM, follow Phaethon to surrender to the Public Security Bureau.
I mean, go to the Public Security Bureau to process your ID card and residence permit.
Considering that Phaethon is great at sleeping, it might take up the entire morning.
At noon, have lunch with Phaethon.
This time slot is suitable for a nap, but considering that Phaethon is a young person, you can go watch a movie together.
Movie recommendation: “Oh, Sweetheart”.
In the afternoon, there is enough time to return to Sixth Street to scout out storefronts, and let Phaethon help you find a suitable storefront.
You can completely trust Phaethon.
Oh!
Phaethon, praise Phaethon!] Firefly opened her eyes and let out a deep sigh.
“You guy…
This is basically a date, right?” “If Firefly One is not satisfied with HQ, HQ won’t change it anyway.” Faced with this brazen fellow, Firefly almost initiated SAM.
But considering that HQ didn’t have a physical body, she dropped the idea—she couldn’t just punch her own brain to pieces, after all.
A lot of things happened today, so Firefly fell asleep not long after, waiting for everything to get better the next day.
…
Wise was in a bad mood because Belle hadn’t woken up since yesterday’s incident.
He guarded Belle’s bedside, opened a small slit in a bottle of glucose solution bought from the pharmacy, and placed the tube into her mouth, allowing the glucose to naturally replenish Belle’s physical strength.
Wise furrowed his brows deeply.
What on earth was making Belle sleep continuously like this?
Was it that guy occupying the HDD?
At this moment, a Bangboo entered the room.
“Unna unna, wada unna.” “Firefly has arrived?
I see.” Stroking E18’s rabbit ears, Wise walked downstairs.
“Good morning, Firefly.
I didn’t expect you to come over so early.” Wise’s figure appeared at the top of the stairs, and he looked normal enough.
However, Firefly could tell that Wise wasn’t doing well; he looked slightly exhausted, and his brows were still furrowed.
“Good morning, Wise.” Firefly greeted him politely as well, but she still asked, “Where is Belle?
Hasn’t she woken up yet?” “Yeah, she’s a bit tired and is estimated to sleep for a long time.” Wise didn’t plan to reveal Belle’s current condition.
Firefly fell silent, staring at Wise with a scrutinizing gaze.
Wise, being closely watched by this gaze, felt extremely uncomfortable.
But soon, Firefly put on an innocent smile.
“Is that so?
She clearly looked very energetic.” “Ahem, she’s just…
a bit too tired.” Wise touched his face, only to find his face unusually slippery—it turned out the sweat on his hands had already accumulated densely and sticky.
“Ahem, never mind that.
Aren’t you going to process your ID card?
I’ll take you there.” “Okay, sorry to trouble you then.” Wise went to the garage to get the car, rubbing his hands together in hopes of wiping away all the sweat, but they only got wetter.
He didn’t care about that anymore; at this moment, he could sense that this girl named Firefly from the Star Capital was definitely not simple.
No, not just Firefly.
The Star Capital itself was an extraordinary place on par with the Old Capital.
How could there be so little information about it on the Inter-Knot?
Moreover, when he thought of the Star Capital back then, it seemed to come to him in an instant.
If he hadn’t specifically researched it, how could he have recalled it in a split second?
Wise didn’t dare to think further because Firefly was sitting in the back seat right now.
He didn’t know if Firefly was observing his expression through the rearview mirror, or if he was acting like nothing had happened at all.
Arriving at the parking lot of the Public Security Bureau, Wise opened the car door for Firefly.
He said calmly, “You can go in by yourself from here.
If you have any questions, the officers at the Public Security Bureau will help you.” Firefly nodded, smiled at Wise, and then walked into the Public Security Bureau.
When Firefly appeared inside the Public Security Bureau, she could feel numerous gazes instantly fall upon her.
This made Firefly a little flustered.
At this moment, a black-haired officer with a single ponytail tied with a reddish-peach ribbon walked up to Firefly.
“Citizen, is there something you need at the Public Security Bureau?” Zhu Yuan couldn’t think of why a girl would come to the Public Security Bureau other than to report a case.
“I’m here to process an ID card and a residence permit for New Eridu.” Facing a stranger, Firefly became a bit shy again, but not to the point of being unable to communicate.
Zhu Yuan nodded, though inwardly she felt somewhat surprised.
In recent years, very few outsiders came to apply for New Eridu ID cards, let alone a residence permit.
“Please come this way.” Zhu Yuan led Firefly to a counter.
At this time, Firefly noticed a not-so-tall girl with cyan pigtails not far away?
No, that was a puppet.
She was sizing Firefly up, watching very carefully.
Then the puppet spoke, “The neighbor’s girl has just grown up, her stunning beauty envied by all.” Before Firefly could state her request, her face turned red upon hearing these words, while Zhu Yuan looked at Qingyi in surprise.
“Senior, please do not flirt with citizens in the Public Security Bureau.” Zhu Yuan also blushed slightly, but it was because she didn’t expect Qingyi to suddenly comment on a citizen’s appearance.
Qingyi took a sip from her teacup.
“A few sweet words promise a fairy, yet my little sister is utterly infatuated.” Qingyi turned around and left, while Zhu Yuan was somewhat unsettled.
Those words weren’t talking about her, Zhu Yuan, being charmed by a young girl’s sweet words and unwilling to listen to a word from her own family member, right?
“Sorry, citizen, don’t mind Senior Qingyi.
She always likes saying things like that.” “It’s fine, I actually think it flows quite well.” Firefly felt that these four lines were somewhat similar to Xianzhou culture, which gave her a sense of familiarity.
However, Zhu Yuan still harbored some lingering resentment over this matter.
After apologizing a few more times for Qingyi’s rudeness, she left.
Next, a dedicated staff member received Firefly and took her photo.
The receptionist was incredulous upon learning that Firefly came from the Star Capital; after all, ever since New Eridu was built, no one had ever seen anyone come from the Star Capital.
The receptionist quickly processed Firefly’s ID card.
As for the residence permit, it required an address in the Star Capital as well as her current address, though it didn’t need to be down to the specific house number—just the district would suffice.
Firefly reported the Star Capital address fabricated by HQ and Sixth Street.
Soon, her data file was successfully established.
At this very moment, Firefly was finally a complete person in New Eridu, possessing a legal and compliant identity.
