The mottled earth walls and thatched roof reveal a sense of dilapidation and vicissitudes of life.

In the dim room, Chen Yuan was in a daze for a while, holding the old and rotten quilt in his arms.

In the early morning, it was a good time to sleep peacefully, but I was suddenly woken up by several uninvited guests.

"What a fucking world. The ghosts howl at night and I can't sleep. Finally at dawn, the ghosts retreat, and some more come to add to the chaos!"

Chen Yuan was indignant in his heart, and still had a lingering anger about getting out of bed.

He stood up and put on the yellow, black, and patched old cotton-padded jacket, and his thoughts were flowing.

A year ago, Lu Chengfeng and his daughter picked him up from a mass grave while scavenging on the edge of the ruins of gods and demons.

It also let him know that he had traveled from that high-tech civilization to this dilapidated and dangerous world.

"Didn't I pass the Wuqiao Town Government Office and Law Enforcement Department assessment?"

"Is Mr. Liu crazy? Are you still going to make trouble?"

Chen Yuan's heart surged with anger.

In order to live a better life, and to repay Lu Chengfeng's father and daughter for their adoption and naturalization a year ago, he decided to enter the official examination and become a public servant.

No matter what world you are in, if you have power, others will not dare to bully you.

If you have power and someone bullies you, it is your power and it is not powerful enough.

Chen Yuan's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but stop when he reached the door. The noise outside the house reached his ears more and more clearly.

"Mr. Liu, didn't you agree to give me another month of grace? Why do you have to ask for money today?

One hundred thousand star coppers, I really don’t have that much now..."

This voice was hoarse and full of tears. It was Lu Chengfeng, the benefactor who adopted Chen Yuan.

"Haha, no money? Then use your daughter to pay off the debt!"

A joking voice sounded, instantly making Chen Yuan angry.

This man is Liu Sanye, the head of the Liu family. He makes a living by lending and exploiting. He has touched countless lives on his hands. He is a well-known bully in Wuqiao Town.

"Third Master, please don't! You promised me before that my Ayuan was admitted to the Department of Law Enforcement and became a law enforcement guard. You can give us another month's grace!"

Outside the house, Lu Chengfeng's voice said anxiously.

"Haha, just because of that bastard you picked up from nowhere?"

"He can also be admitted as a law enforcement guard? It's a fantasy!"

Mr. Liu sneered, looking contemptuous and disdainful.

Lu Chengfeng's voice became increasingly bitter, "Third Master, my Ayuan has really passed the examination of the Law Enforcement Department, and he is already a law enforcement guard..."

"As long as you are a law enforcement guard and want to get 100,000 star coppers, it will not be a problem. You..."

"Stop fucking nonsense!" Mr. Liu obviously had no patience to quarrel with Lu Chengfeng anymore, and his voice was full of impatience, "Since you can't pay back the money today, then I will take your daughter away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise of pulling and pulling could be heard outside the house, as well as the girl's cries of grievance.

······

Chen Yuan's eyes in the room became gloomy.

The reason why Lu Chengfeng owed Liu Sanye money was to spend money for him to apply for the so-called "household registration of all living beings" in this world.

This place is under the jurisdiction of a country called [Daxiang Empire].

If there is no household registration for sentient beings, it is a black household.

Black households are no different from slaves, they are low-level creatures who can be trampled and slaughtered at will.

The Prime Minister's Empire was a country ruled by theocracy.

He believes in a force called [Shenting].

The great priest of Shenting once said:

[All living beings are God’s people. Since they are God’s people, all living beings are equal.】

But the prerequisite for this is that you must have a household registration for all living beings.

Not even qualified to be a “sentient being”?

How can we talk about the equality of all living beings?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan could no longer hold back, pushed the door open and walked out.

Uh-huh!

His appearance stopped the movements of everyone outside the room, and all eyes fell on him.

Chen Yuan glanced at the hall.

The room was not big, but with so many people crammed into it, it became even more crowded.

Mr. Liu was dressed in brocade clothes, with a pair of triangular eyes narrowed and an arrogant look on his face.

Behind him were four burly men, with broad shoulders and round waists, their eyes filled with fierceness.

"Brother Ayuan!"

A seven or eight-year-old girl with shoulder-length short hair and a beautiful face was hiding behind Lu Chengfeng.

There were tears in his eyes and his face, biting his lips, was full of fear.

When I saw Chen Yuan at this moment, I was immediately happy, but I cried with tears,

"Uuuu...Brother Ayuan, they are going to take away the little glutinous rice!"

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly at her, then turned to Master Liu, "Is what Master Liu is doing too much?"

"Haha!" Liu Sanye sneered, narrowed his triangular eyes slightly, glanced sideways at Chen Yuan, and cursed: "Too much? More than your mother! You owe me money, are you still reasonable?"

Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold.

It's not that he doesn't want to pay it back, but it takes time.

What's more, borrowing 10,000 yuan, in just one year, with interest, turns into 100,000 yuan!

That's so dark!

The sarcasm in Mr. Liu's eyes became even stronger, "Do you really think you are the law enforcement guard of the Prime Minister's Empire?"
