Spirit Realm Walker

"I'm from Songhai." Zhang Yuanqing replied, "It's written in the information."

The landlady nodded and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down first."

After saying that, she faced the little boy, slapped him on the head, and shouted: "I only watch cartoons all day long, just like your sister, and have no future at all. Pour some tea."

I picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned off the TV.

The little boy seemed to be used to it. He stood up and slid off the sofa. He ran to the water dispenser and poured two glasses of water for Zhang Yuanqing and Annie. He stumbled into the bedroom and closed the door.

There was so much pressure, both as a landlord and as a mother. Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of water.

The landlady smoothed out her nightgown and sat down across from the two of them. Like the HR of a Fortune 500 company, she looked over and said:

"To be honest, when I see you bringing a foreign woman with you, I don't want to rent the house. I'm not discriminating. The main thing is that different life differences and different cultures often mean trouble. I would rather rent the house to a fellow countryman."

Zhang Yuanqing sensed her emotions. When the landlady said, "I am not discriminating," her emotions were obvious discrimination and resistance.

This is what the legend says, I hate two kinds of people, one is racist, and the other is Nico? Zhang Yuanqing complained silently.

Zhang Yuanqing sighed: "To be honest, this is my first time coming to the Free Federation. I saw all the dark chocolate and white chocolate on the street, which made me feel uncomfortable. Only when I came here did I feel comfortable, as if I was back home."

After saying this, he felt that the landlady's irritable mood was relieved, and he felt a huge recognition.

The landlady’s attitude indeed improved and she said:

"Well, let me ask you a few questions and then decide whether to rent the house or not."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "You say."

Zhang Yuanqing could completely understand the landlady's caution. Anne had taught him some of the "customs and customs" of New York County on the road.

The laws of New York County are very protective of tenants. Tenants are a vulnerable group, so there are many renters and thieves.

In a situation like the landlady's, the main thing to guard against is a renter. For example, if you pay one month's rent and then stay in the house without leaving, it will be very troublesome if the landlord wants to evict you.

Therefore, when renting a house, the landlord will strictly review it and only rent to high-quality tenants, preferably tenants with good income, stable jobs, and free federal citizenship, because such tenants have credit score restrictions.

Foreigners do not have this restriction and can leave the Free Federation until their visa expires.

The landlady asked: "I see you are not very old. Are you here to study abroad?"

"No, I have graduated from college. This time I came to New York County to accompany my girlfriend and find a job. We won't live for long, the minimum is half a year, the maximum is a year." Zhang Yuanqing looked to his side. The blonde beauty:

"This is my girlfriend Annie. She is a foreign language teacher at our university. She has lived in China all year round. She is from the Windy City. She actually has no friends in New York County. We don't have the habit of partying. You don't have to worry about frequent visitors in the house. Four people.”

If Anne was positioned as an assistant, her identity would be a bit exaggerated. He didn't want the landlady to ask questions, and making up lies was also very troublesome.

The landlady nodded noncommittally, "What university did you study in?"

"Songhai University!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Songhai University." The landlady suddenly smiled and was very satisfied with the tenant's academic qualifications.

She turned to ask: "What do you do at home?"

Zhang Yuanqing said: "Three generations of my ancestors have been in the public security system."

The landlady nodded repeatedly, confirming that this was a qualified customer and said:

"I have no problem, you can stay, but I need to tell you a few rules in advance. First, there should be no noise after ten o'clock in the evening. My daughter will take the college entrance exam next year. Second, you can't hold parties at home. You can invite Friends come to play at home, but they must leave before ten o'clock in the evening. Third, the furniture and electrical appliances in the house are complete. If you want to add furniture, especially large equipment that needs to be installed, you must apply to me and I agree. Okay. If the electrical equipment is damaged, you can tell me and I will take care of it."

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said: "No problem!"

The landlady took out the standard contract, and after both parties signed it, Zhang Yuanqing paid half a year's rent and a three-month deposit at once.

——It is worth mentioning that in New York County, the law stipulates that the rent must be paid monthly and the deposit must be collected for up to one month.

The most important thing for Zhang Yuanqing now is to stabilize and reassure the landlord, so he chooses to "suffer a loss".

After collecting the money, the landlady led the two of them to Room 403. The layout here is a living room, a dining room with good lighting near the balcony, a master bedroom, a guest room, a study room, and two separate bathrooms. .

The kitchen is open, next to the living room.

Furniture and electrical appliances are all available. If two people live there, it will be warm and comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is also very good.

"You prepare your own daily necessities. There are clean sheets, quilts, and pillowcases in the bedroom cabinet. You can use them, or you can buy new ones. If you have any questions, just ask me." The landlady handed the key to Anne and turned around to leave. .

Zhang Yuanqing walked through the restaurant and came to the balcony, bathing in the sunshine and looking at this strange city.

Annie started to make the bed, put out toiletries, and then sat on the sofa in the living room and made a shopping list.

The boss’s daily necessities include pajamas, a change of sheets, pillowcases, razors, toothpaste, skin care products, condoms, etc.

After she finished making the list, she said:

"Master, I want to take a bath first and then go shopping. In the afternoon we will go to the Bounty Hunter Guild to register."

"You make arrangements." Zhang Yuanqing said.

He entered the master bedroom, opened the window, lay down on the bed, opened the chat software, and changed his ID to "Tongtian Cult Master".

[Tongtian Cult Leader: I have arrived in New York County, everything is going well. 】

[Sun Miaomiao: Hey, you changed your name? 】

[Xiahou Aotian: I just saw Guan Ya leading a team on a mission today. Why don’t you two go abroad together. 】

[Brother Red Rooster: How can you enjoy foreign girls when you take your girlfriend abroad? a ha ha ha. 】

Brother Hongji offended three girls in the group with one word.

Guan Ya originally wanted to follow him, so he could follow the rules, but Zhang Yuanqing refused. On the one hand, Fu Qingyang established the Investigation Department and the Ministry of Justice, which required high-quality talent to assist.

As a level 5 saint, Guan Ya is an elite talent.

Furthermore, this time I went abroad not for sightseeing, but for a career. Having my girlfriend by my side was a burden and a psychological burden.

For the same reason, Xiao Yuan, Xie Lingxi and the Queen did not bring them.

[Tongtian Cult Leader: @Sun Miaomiao, nonsense, if I don’t change my name, am I calling myself Yuanshi Tianzun abroad? 】

[Madoka: Pay attention to safety and don’t provoke official organizations overseas. You have no backer now. 】

After chatting for a while, he exited the gang group and clicked on the cartoon avatar of the "Three-Eyed Devil Boy".

[Tongtian Cult Master: Demon Eye King, I am going to cleanse the foreign world (Dog Head)]

The magic eye replied with a series of question marks, and then said:

[It’s also good to go abroad to escape the limelight for a while. If I have time, I’ll get a disguise prop and go abroad to have some fun. 】

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yuanqing reported to Fu Qingyang his itinerary, residential address, and the mission of the sponsor's father.

Fu Qingyang replied concisely and concisely: [Be careful. 】

With Yuanshi's status today, it is difficult for people below the Lord to threaten him, and the Lord is rare in number and is a high-status existence among spiritual realm practitioners.

As long as Yuan Shi doesn't commit suicide and attack the Poseidon Church headquarters or the Heavenly Punishment branch, or break into the gathering place of evil organizations, there will basically be no danger.

In the morning, Annie and Zhang Yuanqing left the rental house.

Annie wore a short windbreaker, dark jeans, and a pair of low-heeled shoes. She covered her delicate face with sunglasses and a mask, and her blond curly hair was tied into a neat ponytail.

Different from the "chaotic bar" and "dark underground castle" imagined by Zhang Yuanqing, the address of the Bounty Hunters Guild's branch in New York County is located on the 48th floor of a building called "Myrtle" in Queens.

The walls here are wrapped in marble, the floor is bright and bright, there are bright lights, a beautiful front desk with brown hair and brown eyes, and security personnel in suits and ties.

It is like a high-end club with high privacy.

Annie walked to the front desk wearing black low-heeled shoes and said:

"We are here to register as bounty hunter members, there is no membership introduction."

The tall receptionist immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"plz follow me!"

The two of them followed the female receptionist in a skirt to the exquisitely decorated reception room. After the female receptionist served two cups of coffee, she said:

"Wait a moment, I'll ask the account manager."

She bowed with a smile and then exited the reception room.

In less than three minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit, with oily hair and a thin face knocked on the glass door.

He introduced in a gentle voice:

"My name is Hal Joseph. I am responsible for membership registration and liaison. Are you two registered members together, madam or sir?"

Annie said: "This is my boss. He wants to be a bounty hunter. Mr. Joseph, we have something to do in the afternoon, so hurry up."

Joseph nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying:

"First I need to confirm your identity."

He took out a grip strength tester from his pocket and said, "Sir, if you have a strength-based profession, please use this test. If you have a mental or special function type, you can demonstrate it on the spot."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while, using skills would expose his profession, so he chose to do a grip strength test.

Immediately pick up the detector on the table, hold it in the palm of your hand, and apply force gently.

The value of this special grip strength detector instantly soared to 500kg, which has exceeded human limits.

Joseph smiled:

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll prepare the forms."

He stood up and left, and half a minute later, he got the corresponding application materials.

Joseph handed the form to Zhang Yuanqing and said:

"You can fill in the spiritual realm ID, occupation and level as you like. The guild doesn't care about these. Our registration fee is 20,000 federal coins a year. If you are introduced by a member, you can get a 50% discount.

"If you don't have money, you can choose to do three bronze-level tasks for the guild for free to deduct the membership fee. Then there is the issue of commission. For every task completed by a member, the guild will take a commission. Bronze Hunters will take 30%, and Silver Hunters will take 20%. %, the gold hunter draws 10%.”

After Zhang Yuanqing listened to Annie's translation, he asked:

"Do you have to pay taxes?"

"Of course!" Joseph shrugged: "In the land of the Free Federation, no matter you are a drug lord, an arms dealer, a gangster, or an evil profession, you have to pay taxes, otherwise the Federal Taxation Bureau will let you know what justice is."

Annie translated in a low voice, and then said: "There is a department in Tianpu that is in contact with the Federal Taxation Bureau and is responsible for the tax issues of spiritual realm practitioners."

This is in line with my understanding. Zhang Yuanqing muttered silently.

"Don't worry about taxes, we will pay them for you before issuing commissions." Joseph said: "The guild has a special APP. You can download it. When the registration is completed, I will tell you your exclusive code. After you log in to the app, You can take tasks on your mobile phone.”

You don’t have to be too fussy, I really want to have a battle of wits with your federal tax bureau! Zhang Yuanqing nodded and cursed.

Joseph continued: "Also, let me tell you about the points system for bounty hunters. It takes 100 points for a bronze hunter to upgrade to silver. It takes 1,000 points to upgrade silver to gold. This has nothing to do with your level, whether you are extraordinary or saint. Even if you are the master, you must accumulate points well."

"Bronze tasks are divided into three stages. Those with less than 10 points are low-level tasks, those with less than 20 points are intermediate tasks, and those with less than 30 points are high-level tasks. A bronze task has a maximum of 30 points. Silver and gold points. You can learn about the system on the app.”

"Also, newly registered members cannot take the initiative to accept tasks. We will push the tasks to you within three days. You must complete the trial tasks to truly become a bronze hunter. As for the method of issuing commissions, we have a bank that specifically cooperates with , the commission will be transferred to the bank card on time, and you can withdraw money with the bank card issued by the association. No real-name authentication is required, you only need to enter your password."

“If you don’t want to use a bank card, you can also come to the Guild to collect cash, but you need to make an appointment.”

You spoke too fast and I didn't understand very well. Can you speak slower? Zhang Yuanqing pretended to listen seriously.

Annie leaned into his ear and whispered the translation.

You can fill in the form casually, no real-name system is required, and the bank cards are issued by the guild. The confidentiality is indeed very high. Evil professions can also be registered, but in this way, the power of life and death is entirely in the hands of the guild, and the guild can completely freeze the bank card.

Tsk tsk, there must be gains and losses. Zhang Yuanqing said: "Annie, pay the membership fee."

At 11 o'clock at noon, the two completed the registration and had lunch at a high-end restaurant. Anne took him to the supermarket to buy the items on the list.

Take a taxi back to Chinatown at 4pm.

Zhang Yuanqing had just taken a shower, changed his clothes, took out the new mobile phone bought by Annie, and opened the Hunter Guild app.

The app interface is in pure English. Although Zhang Yuanqing is not good at speaking, as a top student at Songhai University, there is no obstacle to reading and understanding.

The Hunter Guild app is very simple, with three lists: gold, silver and bronze.

Zhang Yuan checked the gold list and saw one of the tasks: hunt down Boreas, CEO of Heavenly Punishment.

The top ten tasks are almost all this outrageous.

The price is also outrageous, 99.9 billion federal coins.

Note: The tasks on the list are valid for three months. If not completed within three months, the tasks will be automatically canceled.

"Tsk, tsk, if you kill a demigod, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, but people who can kill demigods don't seem to have to worry about lack of money. These tasks are completely ineffective tasks."

At this time, the doorbell rang.
