Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

"Shh!" When Paimon heard what the other person said, she quickly acted like "keep your voice down." She took a look around to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thomas also extended a hand and interacted with him to show that he understood.

"It's not because of your general, the recent thunderstorms and wind waves off Inazuma are much stronger than before..." Beidou complained unceremoniously, "Although it was not difficult for my fleet, it was still delayed. some time."

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce to you. This is Toma, a business partner I only got to know a few days ago." Beidou, as the middleman, introduced Toma to Ye Xiao and others.

"Hey, I've been looking forward to meeting you. You have the reputation of a few travelers in a foreign land, but even the storm on the outer sea can't stop it." Thomas also greeted Ye Xiao and others as a matter of course. Judging from his words, he has already I learned about Ye Xiao and Ying's deeds very early on.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Beidou handed Ye Xiao and others to Toma, a local gangster on the outlying island, and left with his fleet to avoid being discovered by soldiers.

"Then, let's go to the inspection station to register first." Under Thomas's arrangement, the group of people who said goodbye to the eldest sister began the first step of Inazuma's journey - obtaining an identity.

After all, Yexiao and the other four are now completely illegal in Daozu. It would be fine in other countries. However, for Daozu, who is locked up in the country, this kind of "smugglers without legal identity" are the key targets of prevention. Otherwise, why do we say that outsiders are not very welcome here?

And let’s not talk about the passes that allow people to enter and leave the islands normally. If you can’t even get the permission to land on the islands, then you really can’t even think about moving around the islands openly and freely. If anyone is discovered by the patrolling soldiers, it is probably the best. The result is to be sent back directly.

Since the identity check cannot be avoided no matter what, it is natural to follow Thomas to register first and handle these irregular things according to the rules, which will also facilitate subsequent actions.

To be honest, when Ye Xiao came to Daozhu hundreds of years ago, he never wandered around here openly, so this time, don't worry about what will happen next, and let's establish a serious identity first!

While heading to the monitoring station at the ferry, Ye Xiao noticed a familiar gaze coming from a house in a distant residential area. Of course he knew who it was. When others were not paying attention, Ye Xiao looked towards the empty house. He made a gesture of greeting and said it with his lips.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After they left the ferry, the wanderer in the narrow alley leaned against the wall, pressed the edge of the hat, snorted softly, and then disappeared.

……

Relying on the island landing procedure documents prepared by Thomas in advance, the group successfully obtained permission to land on the island at the ferry's inspection station. Next was the stay procedure that allowed Ye Xiao and others to stay for a long time.

As a result, several people went to the processing location non-stop - the "Yuanguo Supervision Department", a subordinate department that is responsible for the management of the designation. To be honest, the procedures were actually handled very smoothly, but Thomas was dumbfounded by Dream Consciousness and Paimon. There was an ultimate bargaining show in his eyes.

"Have you gone through the procedures for landing on the island? Do you need to go through the procedures for staying on the island? Are there four of them?" Lily Hua, the supervisor of the Yuanguo Supervision Department, is a very polite person. She welcomes them with a smile. Several people went through the formalities.

"Four." Paimon, who didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, said. Ying and Mengshi, who also didn't expect the subsequent developments, nodded to Lily Hua to confirm.

"Okay, please pay the handling fee, four million molas." Lily Hua very calmly said the amount of handling fees that stunned everyone else present. Well, Thomas and Ye Xiao are not included. These two are even now Suppressing a laugh.

"Four million! Do you need four million to go through the formalities?" Paimeng blurted out, how many delicious foods can so many Mora eat in Wanmin Hall!

"Well, one million per person, so it's four million. Don't worry, I didn't calculate it wrong." Lily Hua's words of course came to everyone's ears. Paimeng and Dream Consciousness looked at each other. To be honest, this was probably the last thing they wanted to be Be an adult for once.

"It's not a question of whether the calculation is wrong...well..." Pamon touched his head, feeling a little dizzy.

Meng Shi was already a little confused about what to say. It wasn't like she couldn't afford the money. After all, she and Ye were relying on the dividends from the Deer Hunter restaurant's recipes and the sale of Ningguang's Mingxia Fusheng Stone. Xiao's usual work has completely escaped the shackles of Mora.

But this doesn't mean she wants to be taken advantage of!

"Hahaha... Miss, these two are my friends. Look, I look familiar." Our good brother Thomas finally stood up at this time.

"It's you, Miss Toma. For your sake, eight hundred thousand molas will be fine." Lily Hua looked at Toma. She did know this person, so she said with a smile.

"Wow, suddenly it's a lot cheaper!" Ying whispered in the team voice, for fear that her complaints would be heard by the other party, and then she would be added back.

"Thank you very much, Miss Lily." Thomas nodded, with a kind smile, and looked grateful, "But in my opinion, the handling fee... one thousand taels That’s enough for Baimora, I’ll pay for them and treat you to a meal, how about that?”

"Is there any bargaining like this? Isn't it too..." Paimon couldn't believe his ears.

"Okay, let's take it from Mr. Toma and let me register." Lily Hua did not refuse, but agreed.

"Hey, thanks for taking care of me."

Now Paimon and Mengshi's CPUs were really going to burn out. When they finished the formalities and walked out of the Yuanguo Supervisory Office, Yingya felt like she was in a dream. This strange money transaction reminded her of an old friend involuntarily. …

"Hey! Four million can be reduced to one thousand two hundred. Is there something wrong with Mrs. Dao's concept of money?" Paimon couldn't help complaining.

"Haha, there's nothing to make a fuss about. The "handling fee" itself is just a private item. "Thoma's words at this time showed a kind of disdain for the supervisors of the Yuanguo Supervision Department.

"For them, no matter how much the handling fee is, it will go directly into their pockets. It's just a matter of making more or less."

"What if I meet a wealthy foreign businessman who is unfortunate enough to be stranded here and is honest and obedient..."

Toma's meaning is already obvious - these guys are simply taking advantage of the impact of the national lockdown order to blatantly bully foreigners.

And this kind of thing is not only reflected in this place. Under various oppressions, foreign businessmen have no choice but to "huddle together to keep warm." In short, it is difficult for foreigners to get to the island and stay on the island during the rice season. , and survival after that will be even more difficult...

As for meeting General Thunder and Lightning, in Toma’s words, “Judging from your status, that is indeed a ‘grand’ goal. "

However, after knowing the purpose of Ying's trip, Thomas finally revealed his intention. In exchange for a chance to meet General Thunder, he wanted Ye Xiao and others to help the "Universal Chamber of Commerce" in trouble on the outlying island. .

Of course, Ye Xiao, who knew the inside story, preferred to call it a test. After all, what Miss Kamisato wanted to do was not something that ordinary people could participate in. Although she may not have thought about it at the moment, she would actually reject it. .

"Let's go and have a look. Anyway, we can only stay on the outlying island now, so why not find something to do. As the saying goes, relying on friends when going out, it never hurts to get to know a few more people." Ye Xiao shrugged and said to Ying Ying .

However, although Ye Xiao had no objection to helping the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, he still confirmed Toma's identity in advance. Although he also knew that Toma and even the Kamisato family did not have any ill intentions, he wanted to show that he knew a lot in advance, which was also Give yourself more bargaining chips and take back some initiative.

"But Brother Thomas, I think you are not just a local snake from an outlying island."

"Haha, brother Yexiao, don't worry, I don't have any bad thoughts. When the matter at the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is over, how about I explain my identity to you and apologize to you?" Thomas explained with a smile while touching his head.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Ye Xiao nodded and said calmly, and Ying thought a lot after hearing what Ye Xiao said, but she believed in Big Sister Beidou's vision, so she was the same as Ye Xiao I didn’t choose to continue asking.

……

The president of the "All Nations Chamber of Commerce", Kurisu, is a businessman from Fontaine.

Faced with the Inazuma Lockdown Order and the promulgation of various laws against foreign businessmen, this man who was very mature and experienced in both business and life organized the "Universal Chamber of Commerce" and led everyone on today's outlying islands. Continue to survive.

It's a pity that even he, in the face of the increasingly stringent inspection and enforcement, will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle. But even if he is now in a state of insecurity, when he sees Ye Xiao and other new people coming to the island to look for him , the first words spoken are still words of concern.

"Oh? My friend, are you here to seek asylum from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations? Could it be that the Yuanguo Supervisory Department caused you to bleed heavily?"

"It's almost, but luckily I have friends here." Mengshi said happily.

"That's good, that's good. Alas... don't lose all your money as soon as you get started." After hearing Meng Shi's words, Jiulisu also looked relieved, and it could be seen that his worries came from the bottom of his heart. , it’s not the kind of play-by-play without emotion.

And this also made Ying feel relieved. Now at least she knew that the other party was a person worth making friends with and helping. Although she liked taking on commissions, she was not a bad person who helped everyone and did everything. Those who might She would choose to do things that would affect her travels based on her mood, and no matter how hard it was, Mora would never let her take action against those really bad guys.
