Inside The Black Mist Chapter 13: Shangmin rights (for collection)
The next day, Tian Yang walked out of the bedroom, ready to apologize. But I found that my mother had gone out, and there was a simple breakfast on the table, nutritious cereal in a thermos, and a fresh egg.
There are farms in the fortress, but eggs are still a luxury in Lower Town.
This egg may be my mother's daily salary.
Looking at it, Tianyang felt more and more like an asshole.
After drinking the oatmeal, the boy was not willing to eat the eggs. He carefully cut open the white and took out the yolk. In this way, when the mother comes back, after a little steaming, it can be eaten by her.
After eating the egg whites in two or three bites, Tianyang looked around and saw that the ground had already accumulated some dust. It seems that the mother has no time to clean recently, so the boy found a broom and started cleaning the house.
Go to mother's room.
Nan Fei's bedroom is very tidy, there are even small potted plants placed on the window grille, and a photo frame is placed on the shelf on the wall beside the bed.
Inside is a group photo of her and Tianyang, but in the photo, Tianyang is just a baby, held by Nan Fei.
This photo has obviously been cropped. Judging from the photo, there should be a person standing next to Nan Fei.
Could it be the father?
Why cut him off?
Tianyang picked up the photo frame, dazed.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the boy came to his senses, thinking it was his mother who had returned.
Hurry up and put the photo frame back, but accidentally, the photo frame fell off and broke apart!
"Excuse me, does Mr. Tianyang live here?" There was a male duck's voice outside the door.
Tianyang glanced at the photo frame on the ground, thankful that it wasn't his mother who came back, and hurriedly left the bedroom.
Open the door, and there is a tall and thin man standing outside the door. Some graying hair was combed neatly, and his uniform looked a bit ill-fitting. He tried to look serious, but it looked a little funny.
"You are?" Tian Yang didn't know this person at all.
The man smiled and said: "I'm from the household registration office in Shangcheng District. Congratulations, Mr. Tianyang. Your household registration in Shangcheng District has been completed. According to the regulations of the fortress, you can add two more places under the household registration , Of course, only direct blood relatives. So the office appointed me to help you register."
"In addition, according to the procedure, I will read to you the rights and obligations of Shangmin, although you may know it."
Tianyang could only invite him into the house. After looking around, the man cleared his throat and began to read: "According to the law of the fortress, Shangmin, especially those who have ascended as Shangmin, have the following rights."
"The first is the right of residence in the upper city, where you can enjoy all the convenient services of the fortress."
"Then you have the right to choose a spouse. Please be careful not to confuse the right to choose a spouse. The so-called right to choose a spouse is limited to those who have sublimated. This right allows you to choose the woman you like to marry at will, and the woman has no right Refused. Unless she is willing to leave Sky Castle, even a Shangmin family can't refuse. However, I doubt anyone would refuse such a good thing, ha."
"Of course, you can only choose one spouse. After all, the marriage law of the fortress stipulates that each man can only have one wife."
Tianyang laughed dryly: "I have no plans to get married yet."
"In addition, each sublimation person also has the right to be a partner, and there is no limit to one. Even if they already have a family, this right can still be maintained. This is out of consideration for genetic optimization. After all, you know that sublimation The descendants of the survivors have a high probability of becoming sublimators."
"If your cumulative contribution to the fortress exceeds 100,000 points, then you will also have the right to establish a family. You can choose a surname for yourself, and it will be passed on to your descendants. The first three generations of this family can inherit it unconditionally Your surname, as well as Shangmin's identity, property, rights, etc..."
The man read all kinds of words for ten minutes, and Tianyang almost fell asleep after listening to them. Just when the young man wanted to drive him away, he finally finished reading.
Finally put an electronic key on the table.
"This is?" Tianyang looked at the key.
"This is the means of transportation distributed to you by the fortress, an electromagnetic unicycle. It is just outside, and within its access authority, it has unlocked most of the area's driving rights for you. I hope you will Like it."
The person from the household registration office finally left. Tianyang looked outside the door and saw that a wheelbarrow had stopped, and he couldn't help cheering softly.
This unicycle uses an electromagnetic engine, which can be replenished with electromagnetic charging plates that can be seen everywhere on the city streets.
The body adopts a gyro balance system, even a novice can drive it everywhere. Although the top speed can only reach 60 kilometers per hour, it is enough in the fortress.
After the biological module was written, Tianyang's information was registered in the column of the car owner. Although he really wanted to go for a drive in the car now, the boy returned to Nanfei's bedroom.
The dropped photo frame has not been disposed of yet, and my mother cherishes this photo frame very much. If she came back to find that the photo frame was broken, it would probably be another storm.
Tianyang picked up the things, planning to find some glue or something to fix the photo frame. Suddenly, he found a receipt.
It was placed behind the photo. If the photo frame hadn't been broken, Tian Yang probably wouldn't have noticed it in this lifetime.
The young man opened it, and it was a receipt from the Qingtianbao storage shop in the upper city. The receipt indicated that someone had stored an item anonymously in the locker.
The storage period is 50 years and has been paid in advance.
Looking at the time when the receipt was issued, it was actually 17 years ago!
"Seventeen years ago, wasn't it when I was born? Who went to the storage shop to store things, could it be Mom?"
"What is stored? Why haven't you taken it out for so long?"
Looking at this receipt, Tianyang suddenly had a bold idea.
Could it be something related to your father?
Once this idea popped up, I couldn't stop it anymore.
Tianyang glued the photo frame in twos and twos, put it back to its original position, and went out with the receipt.
The system of the electromagnetic locomotive has a built-in navigator. Even though Tian Yang has never been to the upper city, he still managed to find the storage shop around noon.
Walking into the door of the storage store, a lady dressed in simple clothes had a professional smile on her face. When looking at Tianyang, his eyes were full of surprise and disdain.
I was surprised to see Tianyang's attire, not like a resident of the upper city, but more like a low-level citizen. It is really surprising that a commoner can come here.
The disdain is also because of the identity of the lower class, after all, this storage shop is basically open to the upper class. Then again, can the common people, who can't eat three meals a day, pay the storage fee?
Although I am just a commoner, I am much more noble than these lowly people.
A sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
"Good afternoon, sir. May I ask what you need?" No matter how superior she is, she is obviously a woman serving customers.
Tianyang took out a receipt: "I'm here to pick up something."
The woman took the receipt and glanced at it, and said unhurriedly: "Can I show you your personal ID card?"
Tian Yang nodded, and took out the new ID card that Lin Yang gave him.
The woman took it and gently placed an electronic scanner on her wrist. Through the chip on the identity card, the information of most people in the city can be read.
When the three big characters "Sublimator" appeared on the instrument screen under Tian Yang's name, the woman was so frightened that she almost dropped her ID card on the ground.
A sublimator, to ordinary people, is simply an unattainable big shot. Not to mention common people, even if they are upper class people, they have to be respectful when they see them.
What women can't figure out is that for big men like them, it's just a matter of sending someone over to fetch things. Is it necessary to make a trip in person?
Besides, this Master Ascendant seems to be too young, and his clothes are too... well, too plain!
Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong just now, otherwise, I would be dead.
The woman's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and she enthusiastically took the boy's arm: "Mr. Tianyang, please, the things you want to pick up have a little time, we need to check and inspect. Please come with me, I'll take you to the lounge and wait. If you need anything, just ask."
The plumpness of a mature woman was pressing on his arm, which made Tianyang feel unspeakably uncomfortable. He was not used to being so close to the opposite sex, so he quickly pulled his hand out, and he was relieved.
15 minutes later, a lockbox was placed in front of him. When opened, there was only one thing inside.
A diary!
