Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 735 - 515: Arrival at the Outer City, Yakumo Yelan_3
"Is this the Outer City?"
Li Zheng tried to stand up straight and looked around. He had just heard a cacophony of sounds, and upon looking, he realized that the place he had emerged into was incredibly bustling.
Behind him was a teleportation gate shimmering with a light purple hue. Ten steps ahead was an open area, in front of which stood a table resembling a reception desk, with two hooded figures sitting behind it.
Looking further away, there was a bustling street filled with a diverse array of beings of different appearances, mingling and lingering in the shops on both sides of the street.
Glancing even further, one could see that this city was actually constructed from metal and stone, with a skyline filled with a steel jungle of countless towering buildings.
"Welcome to the Outer City, newbie."
One of the hooded figures stood up from the reception desk and slowly walked towards Li Zheng, speaking fluent Chinese, "I am the attendant responsible for Teleportation Gate 902. You can call me Yakumo, and the big guy over there is Yelan."
Yelan stood up, and Li Zheng could feel a gaze from under the hood looking toward him.
He glanced at the two of them, feeling strangely familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Don't be surprised, newbie, we have indeed met." Yakumo's voice was crisp as she spoke, and as she moved, her lithe figure was faintly visible under the hood, unmistakably marking her as female.
Judging by her physique, she seemed like a Blue Star human, without any strange organs that stood out.
However, it was unclear if her hidden appearance under the hood would be like that of Zi Shu, with skin color appearing alien to Blue Star people, or whether she had some less conspicuous organs.
Like an extra eye, for example.
Li Zheng opened his mouth, trying to say something, but failed. His tongue and vocal cords were still stiff and unable to produce sound.
"It seems like something unpleasant happened to you before you arrived here."
Noticing Li Zheng's odd state, Yakumo became enthusiastic and turned to shout at the big Yelan, "Old Ye, stay here. I'll go go... finish the task!"
Then she gestured to Li Zheng, "Follow me, I'll take you for a physical check-up."
A physical check-up?!?!
Hearing those words made every cell in Li Zheng's body resist. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Please, no more physical exams. Just two minutes ago, a so-called check-up nearly cost him half of his life!
"What? You don't want a check-up?"
Yakumo seemed to catch on and her voice suddenly cooled, "Fine, if you don't want a check-up, I'll first take you to register at the registry. You'll then be a member of the Outer City Block 902."
Li Zheng: "..."
Good grief!
The so-called check-up wasn't really a required process upon entering the Outer City, was it?
Perhaps, before almost slipping, you wanted to say you'd earn some extra cash?
You must be in cahoots with someone with medical abilities, trying to scam newbies with this so-called check-up, right?
By the way, you're giving up just like this?
Are you not trying harder?
Maybe if you insisted a bit more, I'd agree?
However, Yakumo had no intention of forcing him and instead led Li Zheng toward the facade of a building taller than those around it. A tacky sign with incomprehensible text hung above the entrance.
"This here is the newbie registration office. Usually, newcomers register their information here. From what I know, you're the second player of this batch of newbies to arrive at the Outer City."
With Mirel's help, Li Zheng followed Yakumo into the office. Once inside, he only realized that none of the buildings on this street seemed to have the 'spatial expansion' ability that capsule residences had. However big they looked on the outside was exactly how big they were inside.
"After registering your information here, you'll also need to register your pets or any companions, attendants, and such over there."
Yakumo pointed to a window not far away, where a female beastman with a rhino head sat idly. The gender was discernible by the light blue lipstick on her wide maw.
"If you walk the streets with unregistered pets, others can capture or kill them without any responsibility."
Yakumo warned and then pointed to another window with a long queue, extending almost outside the door.
She indicated, "After registering your pets and the like, you'll also need to temporarily surrender and register all your dangerous items. You can retrieve them whenever needed, but you'll have to pay some storage fees."
"Then, you have to go over there for a property registration, but that's only required upon your first arrival to the Outer City. You won't need to do it again thereafter."
"Finally, return to the window where you registered your personal information, bring all the certificates to obtain your personal inscription which will be indispensable for all your activities in the Outer City."
"If you happen to die somewhere in the future, we can confirm your identity through your personal inscription... and such."
"That's about it. Do you have any questions regarding what I just explained?"
Li Zheng opened his mouth, "..."
Stiffness still hadn't subsided.
"Alright, it seems there are no questions."
Yakumo said nonchalantly, took out a card with a display screen, confirmed some information on it, and without another word, left Li Zheng there.
"..."
Li Zheng looked down at Mirel, his face full of helplessness.
Mirel: "???
Her little face was full of confusion. Since she didn't understand the language, she hadn't caught a single word of Yakumo's long explanation.
"Poli~ Poli!"
Only the Red Polis were excitedly looking around, making "Poli Poli" sounds, as if they had never before seen so many different races.
With a wry smile, Li Zheng gestured to Mirel to help him to the first window to register his personal information.
"Name..."
Perhaps because the current batch of players had not flooded into the Outer City, the worker with antlers seemed languidly dealing with work.
Strangely, when they spoke, it was fluent Chinese.
