Capítulo 3: Pacing Between The Edge of Life and Death
Lu Yuan followed the trail of the public bus no. 11 and walked for over an hour. He then used the map on his mobile phone to find his location.
Xili City, Gene Fighter Association Southern District Branch.
It was an extremely conspicuous building in this flourishing and bustling area.
The building was constructed from black stones, and its width was over 200 meters. Before the main door, there were two statues of warriors roughly fifty meters tall standing at the center. They held long swords that intersected in the air, and the door was underneath that intersection.
The dressing of the people entering and exiting the door was also quite different from ordinary people.
Some wore armor, some wore robes, some carried swords, and there were even some people with tails. Lu Yuan somewhat suspected that these people weren't humans. Could humans actually grow a tail?
However, it seemed that everyone possessed a powerful aura.
In this place, Lu Yuan was like a lamb that had fallen into a pack of wolves.
He drew in a deep breath and entered the door.
After passing through the door and arriving at a lounge, Lu Yuan discovered the information counter in the center of the lounge at first glance.
He then carefully avoided all the gene fighters who strode around vigorously as he went to the information counter.
The young woman at the information counter smiled amiably and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Hello, do you have anything you need my help with?"
"I just awakened and I want to register."
The young lady pointed to the right. "The registration spot is over there…Xiao Ai, bring this Mister over."
After the young lady spoke, a white-colored robot about 1.6 meters tall walked out. It then spoke in a melodious and vivacious loli-voice.
"Mister, please come with me. Xiao Ai will bring you to the registration spot for gene fighters."
After the robot Xiao Ai finished speaking, it turned and walked away. Lu Yuan hurriedly followed it.
When the gene fighters saw the robot Xiao Ai, they all made way for it. Lu Yuan followed it smoothly, so there was no longer a need for him to avoid the crowd. Not long later, they arrived at a room on the right of the lounge.
This room was roughly about two hundred square meters. There were some chairs in the center of the room and a row of windows on the side facing the entrance. There, some staff could be seen currently doing the registration.
Lu Yuan swiftly swept his gaze through the room.
Over twenty people seated on the chairs placed in the center of the room. Their faces were all immature and looked roughly the same age as Lu Yuan. In fact, they might be even younger than him.
Lu Yuan knew that these people were probably the same as him. They must have just awakened.
After the robot Xiao Ai brought Lu Yuan to the room, her loli-like voice rang out once more.
"Mister, this is the registration spot. You can get a ticket from the ticketing machine and wait for your number to be called."
Xiao Ai pointed to a ticketing machine at the side.
After that, Lu Yuan walked over and got a ticket. It was numbered B12.
He glanced at the B-screen window and the number now was B08. He had to wait a little while more.
He then went to a corner and sat down as he waited quietly.
Roughly about half an hour later, the announcement rang out and Lu Yuan's number was called.
After that, Lu Yuan went to the designated booth and sat down. There was a skinny young woman within.
She smiled at Lu Yuan.
"Hello, are you here to complete the registration for gene fighters?"
"Yes."
"Please give me the ticket. After that, we will need to scan your fingerprints and your pupils."
Lu Yuan passed the ticket to her and after that, he followed her instructions and allowed her to scan his fingerprints and pupils.
The young lady cast a glance at the screen beside her and smiled.
"A citizen of the empire, your identity number is XL139205253232. Your name is Lu Yuan. Please verify the information and check if it's correct."
A screen also appeared before Lu Yuan's eyes. Lu Yuan's photo, ID number, and name could be seen on it.
Lu Yuan glanced at them before nodding to confirm the details.
"Please show your gene battle tattoo."
Lu Yuan lifted his left wrist and revealed the golden patterns on it.
After that, the young lady took out a black apparatus and placed it on the golden tattoo. Very soon, a sound rang out as the black apparatus flashed with green light.
She smiled and spoke.
"Your gene battle tattoo has been confirmed. Mister Lu Yuan, congratulations on becoming a gene fighter. May your martial destiny be a prosperous one, fighting for the existence of humanity."
"Many thanks!"
The young lady then continued with her work before she spoke.
"The registration is completed. You have just awakened and can now be considered a probational gene fighter. You will also receive 5,000 red maple coins as the empire's stipend monthly, and the stipend this month has been transferred to your personal account. Also, I've activated the authority for you to log in to the battleweb. Your account number is your ID number and the preset password is 666666. You can browse the battleweb to check for information related to gene fighters. The Empire has also prepared free copies of Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique, Military Fist, and Military Swordplay for newly awakened people. They have been sent to your battleweb email. Please remember to check and read through them after you return."
The young lady spoke a lot. After that, she lifted her head and looked at Lu Yuan as she smiled.
"Might I ask if you still have any other questions?"
Lu Yuan was a little startled after he finished listening seriously.
He quickly took out his mobile phone for a look and saw the message that $5,000 had been transferred into his account.
Right now, his savings reached $5,035. This was simply a matter worthy of celebration!
As for the free Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique and whatnot, Lu Yuan still didn't have much understanding of them.
He planned to look more in-depth into these after he returned.
Upon thinking of this, his desire to return home surged. He smiled radiantly.
"Nope. Thanks!"
"No need to be polite. If you don't have any other questions, could you please give a rating for my service?"
Lu Yuan naturally gave her a five-star evaluation.
After that, Lu Yuan impatiently left the Gene Fighter Association.
Now that he had money, Lu Yuan decided to call for a taxi after he left the building.
Not a few seconds later, a floating car with no one inside stopped before Lu Yuan.
The science and technology of this world were much more advanced compared to Lu Yuan's previous world.
The technology of full self-automated driving, A.I. robotics, and even floating vehicles were already matured.
According to Lu Yuan's understanding, all these were knowledge obtained by gene fighters from the Land of Origins.
One could very well imagine how many treasures there were in the Land of Origins.
Unable to contain his excitement, he directly went into the car and prepared to head home.
Not long later, the floating car arrived at a somewhat tattered-looking district from the brightly-lit district he was in.
Bang, bang, bang!!
While in the car, Lu Yuan could faintly hear gunshots from a distance.
His expression remained unchanged and remained normal.
Because there was a limit to what he could spend on his living expenses, Lu Yuan's home was located in the slums. Since that was the case, the public security here wasn't that good and gunfights would happen occasionally.
After all, mutation incidents existed in this world, so ferocious beasts would occasionally invade the cities. This was why ordinary humans were not prohibited from carrying weapons.
This also caused districts with bad public security to be rife with gangs and crimes.
Actually, the district Lu Yuan lived in could be considered pretty good already. After all, he heard that those districts had people going missing every day.
Very soon, the floating car stopped outside Lu Yuan's neighborhood. Lu Yuan got down and hurriedly entered.
After that, he had to carefully sidestep a few drunkards and politely refuse the prostitutes who were out soliciting before he could reach his room.
It was a small room of about 20 square meters with only a bed, a study desk, and a simple toilet.
It was to be expected as the rental here was very cheap, only costing $200 per month.
Only after returning to his room did Lu Yuan let out a breath he was holding in.
Every time he returned home, he was afraid that a stray bullet might blow his head out.
In the past, he only felt like this from looking through the memories of the original body. But now that he had personally experienced it, Lu Yuan's heart was pounding in fear.
He felt that he had been pacing between the edge of life and death.
(Wait a minute…)
(This big bro, I, seemed to be rich now?)
His eyes brightened as he suddenly thought of this.
(I will go and view some properties tomorrow. I'll move away from this hell-like place!)
If not, he was afraid he might be killed by gunshots before he became a major character.
That would then truly be the greatest loss in the history of humanity alright?!
After a while, he no longer thought about this. He turned on the ancient-looking notebook on his desk and logged in to the gene fighter website, or the battleweb for short.
He inputted the address and opened the webpage before entering his ID and password.
"My identification number…and 666666…I've managed to log in!"
The first thing he did after logging in was to change his password. After that, he decided to use a nickname.
He had wanted to use the nickname 'Fated Person'. But in the end, he discovered that this name was already used.
He then tried out a few other nicknames, but those already existed as well.
Ultimately, Lu Yuan decided to choose 'Helper', a nickname that was filled with the willingness to help out.
This made Lu Yuan realize that no matter which world he was in, choosing a name was always the most troublesome thing.
After changing his nickname and password, Lu Yuan discovered that he had gotten an email.
He opened up the email for a look and there were three pieces of data inside.
Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique.
Military Fist.
Military Swordplay.
