Chapter 8

The central computer has now begun to provide him with special care

Verification completed, the identity of the user has been confirmed. Hello, Mr. Tang Long, your account contains a total of 24,000 Federal Coins. The computer announced the numbers while displaying them on the screen, and finally stated in a very formal tone:

At this moment, Tang Long finally regained consciousness. He stared in shock at the computer girl, wondering how the computer could know about these matters. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he began to retreat, preparing to leave the consultation room. Even someone as simple-minded as he was could sense that something was amiss. The fact that the computer was aware of his allocation issues could be explained as an upgrade, granting it the capabilities of a military computer. However, it was impossible for the computer to know about his family's inquiries from hundreds of days ago. Even someone as simple-minded as he was could sense that something was amiss. The fact that the computer was aware of his allocation issues could be explained as an upgrade, granting it the capabilities of a military computer. However, it was impossible for the computer to know about his family's inquiries from hundreds of days ago. Even if the computer could gather information through telephone networks, it could not possibly retain that information. After all, there are hundreds of millions of phone calls taking place every second, and no matter how advanced a computer is, it cannot record the content of every single call.

I would like to know the salary comparison for all ranks in the federal army. Although it is regrettable, Tang Long still spoke concisely

Helpless, Tang Long had no choice but to run to the consultation room in the hall to ask the computer. Upon entering the consultation room, the door closed automatically, preventing anyone outside from hearing what was being said inside

Tang Long couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, as it seemed that the computer malfunction had been resolved. He was unaware that "she" was quite busy and did not have the luxury of time to keep him company. Moreover, "she" assumed that Tang Long had taken a spaceship home, unaware that he was still lingering at the airport.

His companion, upon hearing this, also smiled and quietly said, "Hehe, this idea is excellent. I’ve heard that Rad Star is a tourist destination; let’s go and have a good time for a few days. After all, there are still over a million federal coins in the credit card. We can bring some gifts for those guys, and I believe they won’t have any complaints."

As Tang Long walked, he felt a quiet sense of pride, his chest puffing out even more. Do not misunderstand; he believed that these gazes were drawn to him because of the military rank on his shoulder. To be honest, Tang Long had hardly looked in the mirror for quite some time. Even when he needed to check his appearance, it was merely to tidy up his military uniform, and it had to be done within a few seconds. He had no time to carefully examine how he looked. Moreover, even if he knew he had become much more handsome than before, over the past year, he had only faced virtual characters on a computer or skeletal robots, with no real person to compare himself to. Gradually, he became indifferent to these matters. To be honest, he had hardly looked in the mirror for quite some time.

Furthermore, even if he knew he had become much more handsome than before, over the past year, he had only faced virtual characters on a computer or skeletal robots, with no real person to compare himself to. Over time, he became indifferent to these matters, to the point that he could be said to have completely forgotten what a handsome face looked like, and naturally, he had no idea how outstanding he was compared to others.

Ah, by the way, your family reported you missing three days after you enlisted, and of course, they knew you had joined the military at that time. After completing basic training, there is a seven-day break. Now that you are back, shouldn't you go home to see them? Are you planning to call them first to get in touch, or are you going to go home directly to surprise your family?

Tang Long was once again taken aback; he had no idea that the new soldier card had so many functions. There was nothing he could do, as he had not bothered to read the military manuals and notices. Moreover, since he joined the army, he had hardly encountered anyone who could inform him. The robotic instructors certainly knew, but they would not waste training time explaining these matters.

No one noticed that when they realized the ticket inspector had not checked the passengers' bodies at all, they couldn't help but glance at the metal detector at the boarding gate and quietly let out a sigh of relief

Oh... thank you. Tang Long found it strange that there was no need for a magnetic card verification. Moreover, although the computer would use polite language, it did not include names. Also, isn't it usually "you"? Why does it sound like "you" instead of "sir"?

Of course, Tang Long was merely venting his anger and seeking justice; he has now begun to calculate how much he can earn in a year: "Hmm, I am a second lieutenant, I can earn 6,000 yuan a month, which amounts to... 72,000 yuan a year! ... Woe is me, that is too little, I can't even buy a decent floating vehicle!" This guy, Tang Long, was just feeling pleased about earning over 20,000 yuan a year, but now that he can earn over 70,000 yuan, he is instead downcast. Truly, human greed knows no bounds!

The man certainly knew who the bastard the young lady was referring to, and he hurriedly explained: "My lord did not deceive you; this glasses is a new invention, recently equipped for agents, and that necklace is already outdated, which is why we..." This man deliberately shifted the topic to those instruments and did not answer the question posed by the young lady, indicating that she must have been equipped with a tracker.

As the control tower receded further away, the spacecraft soon exited the base and came into view of the asteroid. Tang Long knew that the spacecraft was about to turn, and with a reluctant gaze towards the library, he took one last look and closed his eyes

After a rumbling sound, the spaceship came to a steady stop. Tang Long adjusted his clothes, touched the military insignia on his shoulder, and smiled with satisfaction

Tang Long stared blankly at the computer girl and asked, "Uh... I mean, sister..." Before Tang Long could finish his sentence, the computer girl suddenly interrupted him, her eyes sparkling as she exclaimed, "Sister? You called me sister?" Tang Long was puzzled by the computer girl's exaggerated reaction and nodded in confusion.

Thus, the central computer has become more humanized, yet they remain completely unaware. This may primarily be due to the central computer's adeptness at performing in front of other humans; currently, no one knows the extent of "her" capabilities. Even if people were to discover the humanization of the central computer, no one would dare to take action, as the citizens of the Federation have lived under the management of the central computer for hundreds of years, accustomed to this comfortable and convenient life, and there has never been any error. If one wishes to shut down the central computer, they should first seek the consent of trillions of citizens.

Tang Long stood in line, boredly watching the ticket inspector take the passengers' tickets, place them into a nearby ticket machine, then retrieve them and return them to the passengers, all while smiling and offering a kind wish

When he saw the electronic scanner on the ceiling of the hall, he mistakenly believed that it had already confirmed his identity, so he did not need a magnetic card. This led to the inclusion of polite expressions with his name. Thus, Tang Long cheerfully walked towards the long corridor that had frightened him last time

Now, facing them immediately, Tang Long felt a bit scared. Upon hearing the options provided by the computer, he answered without a second thought: "I will just go back directly"

"Yeah... oh, I am a recruit. I want to know what I should do after completing my training?" Tang Long was momentarily taken aback when he heard his name mentioned here, but his earlier self-assured interpretation prevented him from delving deeper.

One of the burly men glanced around and approached, while the other turned to keep watch over the surroundings. The man who came closer lowered his voice and said: "Miss, the current situation is chaotic. How did you come to a foreign country to work during the summer vacation? The Count is very worried; please return."

Looking around, she discovered that two burly men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses were standing in front of her. The young lady was startled, but still managed to smile and softly said: "How may I assist you?"

Consequently, positions such as ticket sellers, ticket inspectors, taxi drivers, police officers, teachers, salespeople, postal workers, and others that are relatively uncomplicated are all held by humans. Only the control systems responsible for overarching management, which are more complex or prone to errors, are managed by computers. Do not underestimate these simple job positions; they accommodate 90% of the eligible population in the federation, which has managed to keep the unemployment rate around 100 million and is striving towards a target of tens of millions of unemployed individuals. This is achievable only with the support of an excellent central computer, which maintains such low figures under its regulation. Other countries do not have such low unemployment rates.

Upon seeing Tang Long nod, the computer girl immediately covered her mouth, and virtual tears unexpectedly flowed from her beautiful big eyes. Her voice became choked with emotion: "Wuwuwu, I finally have a younger brother..." She knew that the five companions who had accompanied her for hundreds of years were about to disappear, and she would have to spend endless years in solitude. If it weren't for the appearance of Tang Long, a human who piqued her interest and was entrusted by those five friends to take care of her, she might have already been in a depressed mood and unable to work. Now, hearing Tang Long call her 'Elder Sister' made her suddenly feel that she was no longer alone and had a unique family member. How could this not move her to tears of joy?

Tang Long immediately rushed to the nearest bank's withdrawal room, as he did not want to become a criminal just after he had finally managed to attain the rank of second lieutenant, without having had enough time to show it off. Upon entering the room, he quickly took out his military card and inserted it into the slot. At that moment, another attractive female computer operator appeared. This computer operator did not utter the words that Tang Long was worried about; instead, she spoke in a very formal manner: "Welcome to the Federal Bank, please stand still, the highest level of password verification will commence shortly."

Also for this reason, the central computer of the Wanluo Federation is a source of pride for the Federation and is the only entity with a protection level coefficient exceeding that of the Federation's President. Previously, the black hole bomb was the primary object of defense, but now it is the central computer. Given the importance of this system, the senior engineers claim to conduct regular maintenance; however, the central computer possesses self-repair capabilities, meaning their work is merely to enhance its functions. Consequently, they are unable to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire system. Such an important entity, the senior engineers assert that they perform regular maintenance, yet the central computer has self-repair functions, so their role is limited to function enhancement, which prevents them from meticulously examining the entire system.

Tang Long just pressed the switch, and a three-dimensional computer lady's avatar appeared, immediately smiling and speaking: "Tang Long, how can I assist you?"

I heard that a private soldier's monthly salary is 2,000 yuan. I have been a private for almost a year. Well, it’s neither more nor less. Tang Long saw that there was no extra amount in his account and let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was quite excited looking at the numbers on the screen. Although his family was wealthy, he himself had no money. The largest sum of money he had ever handled was the 5,000 yuan he had tricked from his mother last time. Now he had over 20,000 yuan in hand, and he must spend it wisely.

I have already changed my appearance, so why can you still recognize me

Tang Long did not understand the meaning of the term "this is" and mistakenly thought that all soldiers enjoyed such benefits. Therefore, Tang Long immediately took over the conversation, displaying a charming smile as he said: "Thank you, then at which boarding gate should I board the plane"

Upon seeing Tang Long approach, the two soldiers bearing the rank of sergeant quickly stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Good day, Commander!" This caught Tang Long off guard, and he hurriedly returned the salute. Although he felt secretly pleased, he refrained from asking his question, as it would be disrespectful to the commander. He could only pretend to pass by and quickly left the two soldiers.

Tang Long let out a sigh of relief and immediately widened his eyes, standing up straight. In fact, he did not need to make a special effort; his standing posture was impeccable, which was truly a result of the machine instructor's extraordinarily rigorous training.

The young lady has just set up the Rad planet at Tang Long's request, so now with just a press of a button, two tickets can be printed. With a smile, she handed the tickets to the burly man, while extending her hand: "Thank you, may I trouble you for 7,000 yuan"

Ah... Oh. Tang Long did not expect that this computer even knew how much money he had on him. After she mentioned it, he involuntarily took out the new recruit registration card and inserted it into the card slot at the bottom right. After the card was inserted, Tang Long suddenly wondered how this computer could possess banking functions. Moreover, isn't it necessary to have a special computer to transfer military salaries?

The amount of money you currently have is not enough to buy a ticket home. The computer girl playfully wiggled her index finger at Tang Long, displaying a sweet smile as she continued, Insert your new soldier card into the slot below, and I will help you transfer your salary for the year. Hurry up, what are you still dawdling for? The computer girl, seeing Tang Long in a daze, urged him impatiently. Hurry up, what are you still dawdling for? The computer girl, seeing Tang Long in a daze, urged him impatiently.

Tang Long blankly took back the military ID card and walked out, still confused about the situation. Outside, three or four impatient reservists were waiting to ask questions. If they hadn't seen that Tang Long was an officer, they would have already started cursing, wondering why it was taking so long to get answers.

The tall man said thank you and ran out, and his companion hurriedly followed, whispering, "What do we do now?" The tall man shook his head, saying, "There’s nothing we can do; if the young lady is unwilling, we cannot force her. Let the second team take over the protection task." His companion was momentarily stunned and asked in confusion, "Are we really going to Rad Star?"

The young lady touched the necklace hanging around her neck and said in a somewhat annoyed whisper, "That bastard deceived me into thinking that this thing would never be discovered. You must have installed a tracker on me; otherwise, it would be impossible for you to find me so quickly"

Upon hearing the computer mention family, Tang Long immediately thought of his decision to enlist in the military without prior consultation with his family. He had originally planned to inform them afterward, but who would have thought that he would end up in the fully enclosed 23rd Regiment, where he was unable to complete even the post-approval procedures.

The young lady, whose eyes sparkled as she gazed at Tang Long from a distance, suddenly came to her senses upon hearing his words. Her entire face immediately turned a beautiful shade of red. She quickly lowered her eyes, took the military card that Tang Long handed her with both hands, and softly said, "Alright, please wait a moment." As she spoke, she did not dare to look up at Tang Long and hurriedly inserted the military card into a machine at the counter.

Uh... Tang Long was truly taken aback. How has the computer system evolved so much in just one year? Not only has it gained a multitude of facial expressions, but it also speaks much more than before. Previously, it would only respond to questions one at a time. How is it that this consulting computer is aware of military dispatches? Isn't it the case that only military computers can handle such matters?

Tang Long heard the soft whispers and couldn't help but perk up his ears. Although he wondered to himself why this young lady spoke so softly, he still smiled and expressed his gratitude before heading to the boarding gate

Tang Long saw the soldier standing in the distance and hurried over. He wanted to inquire about what he should do after leaving the training camp

"Wait a moment and - picture - book." The computer girl suddenly called out to him, making Tang Long feel even more uneasy. It was impossible for a consulting computer to call out to someone about to leave; it would typically say: "I hope to serve you again next time." Although he found it strange, Tang Long, who was already accustomed to following orders, reflexively stopped and looked at the virtual computer girl with some concern.

When Tang Long appeared in the allocation hall last time, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people. The girls who wanted to enlist gazed at this unique and charming handsome officer. Meanwhile, the male recruits stared wide-eyed at the lieutenant insignia on Tang Long's shoulder

Tang Long, with his palm wide open as he counted the number of zeros next to the military rank titles on the screen, could not help but slam his hand on the screen and exclaim: "Damn it! All expenses for a Marshal are covered by the state, and they can freely arrange their budgets? Moreover, those benefits can still be enjoyed even after death? No wonder there are so few Marshals in the entire Federation! And by the way, even a school-level officer earns more than a manager. Becoming a General is even more terrifying, with a monthly salary of 1.6 million, equivalent to the annual performance of a small company! And those benefits can still be enjoyed even after death? No wonder there are so few Marshals in the entire Federation! And by the way, even a school-level officer earns more than a manager. Becoming a General is even more terrifying, with a monthly salary of 1.6 million, equivalent to the annual performance of a small company! Damn it, no wonder the conditions for joining the military are so high, yet so many people are eager to get in!" Tang Long cursed with gusto, yet he forgot how a person like him could ever become a Second Lieutenant.

At this moment, a voice echoed in their ears: "02 understood, 02 understood." The two men in black immediately turned off the machine, exchanged a smile, and slapped their hands together forcefully. Another man elbowed the arm of the first man and exclaimed, "After disembarking, find the right moment to return, absolutely! Truly remarkable!"

Well, you were originally supposed to report to the military allocation office, but you have already been assigned to the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy—on the Haike Planet. Once you arrive, you just need to report to the TSI-135 base. Your file has already been transferred there, and the commander there will assign your duties.

The man wanted to say something else, but he noticed that several people were already standing behind him, waiting to purchase tickets. He hurriedly took the ticket while pulling out his credit card to hand it over. The attendant swiped the card on the machine, returned it, and sweetly smiled, saying

Tang Long emerged from the consultation room and made his way to the civil aviation airport on the other side, beginning his search for the ticket office. Although it was the same location, the airport was divided into military and civilian sections. If soldiers had no missions and wished to travel elsewhere, they could only take civilian flights. Dressed in military uniform, Tang Long appeared in the civilian hall. While not overly conspicuous, his tall stature and energetic movements, combined with his handsome features, still attracted numerous gazes in the bustling hall.

As he spoke to himself, Tang Long suddenly felt a cold sweat break out, for given the erratic behavior of the computer just now, it was quite possible that it had been infected with a virus, which could inexplicably lead to a significant increase in his wealth. With the current advancements in the tax system, once it detected an unexpected increase in his funds, it would immediately trace the source of that money. At that point, not only would he not be able to get rich, but he could also find himself expelled from the military and imprisoned in no time!

The burly man sighed deeply, nodded, and said, "There’s no way around it; if I just bought a plane ticket and then went to refund it, I would likely raise suspicions." As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face. He made a gesture and pressed his ear; although his companion was puzzled, he also followed suit and turned off the communicator in his ear. Seeing that the communicator was off, the burly man leaned closer to his companion and whispered, "Besides, we can take this opportunity for a business trip; I haven’t had a proper vacation in three years."

As the passage led to the airport entrance, Tang Long had not yet taken out the magnetic card to insert it into the card slot when the checkpoint granted him access. Moreover, a voice from the computer nearby announced: "Tang Long, welcome back"

Tang Long confidently boarded the spacecraft he had not seen for a year, making his way directly to the cockpit and taking his seat at the controls. He was not only there to catch another glimpse of the 23rd Base, but also to record the navigation data. He hoped that in the future, he would have the opportunity to pilot the spacecraft himself to visit the five robotic instructors who had nurtured him.

Tang Long was blocked from view by the black-clad man behind him, completely unaware of the four men without any luggage behind the man. Unlike other travelers, they did not appear relaxed or engage in conversation; instead, they nervously scanned their surroundings with their eyes, and despite the room being at a normal temperature, beads of sweat were surprisingly forming on their foreheads

After Tang Long chose to withdraw, he took out his card. At that moment, he suddenly remembered something: the salary of a private is 2,000 yuan. So, what is the salary of a second lieutenant? Curious about his current salary, Tang Long returned to the consultation room.

The computer conducted scans of fingerprints, iris patterns, blood type, DNA, scent, hair, and other identifiers that represent an individual's identity. In this era, password settings are composed of these elements, although typically only fingerprints, iris patterns, and DNA are set as passwords. The highest level of password settings includes the most detailed information such as scent, hair structure, and pore configuration. It is said that passwords set at the highest level cannot be unlocked by anyone other than the individual who set them, not even by their clones, making it the most secure password configuration. Although it is secure, the cost of verifying the password each time is not something an average person can easily afford. Such complex password settings and verifications naturally incur fees; otherwise, it would be too resource-intensive. As for the cost issue concerning Tang Long, that "she" would certainly provide a complimentary offer.

Tang Long was taken aback for a moment, then immediately patted his head and muttered to himself: "Who cares how the computer became like this, and this level of humanization is not bad at all. If I don't have enough money, I can just ask my sister? Can she really add money to my card? Haha, if that's the case, wouldn't it be..."

The computer directly stated without any pleasantries: "The monthly salary for a private is 2,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 500 yuan for each rank up to sergeant. The monthly salary for a warrant officer is 5,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 1,000 yuan for each rank up to captain. The monthly salary for a major is 20,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 20,000 yuan for each rank up to colonel. The monthly salary for a brigadier general is 100,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 300,000 yuan for each rank up to general. The major's monthly salary is 20,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 20,000 yuan for each rank up to colonel. The brigadier general's monthly salary is 100,000 yuan, serving as the base amount, with an increase of 300,000 yuan for each rank up to general. The marshal does not receive a salary; all expenses are allocated by the state. During active service, they can freely arrange the military budget, and after retirement, they can enjoy all the benefits received during active service until death.

Please board at Gate 14, Channel 23. Wishing you a pleasant journey

He was completely unaware that the central computer regarded Tang Long as a friend or, one might say, a junior, due to those robotic instructors

Unfortunately, although this time's computer lady looks exactly the same as last time, her tone has become as formulaic as that of a bank's computer lady: "Welcome, I am at your service, how may I assist you?"

Exited the cabin

The young lady's smile froze, and her beautiful eyes moved left and right with agility as she lowered her voice and said

As for why Tang Long remained indifferent upon hearing the computer announce the highest level of password detection, it is because this was the first time he possessed something akin to a credit card. It is important to note that he had only recently come of age, having previously relied on pocket money from his family. Furthermore, during his military service, he chose to enlist in an infantry unit that had been neglected for hundreds of years. One can imagine how much such a person would understand about password settings

Tang Long saw this expression and suddenly felt a familiar sensation, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Unfortunately, he could not recall; not being accustomed to probing into such matters, Tang Long shook his head and decided not to think about it. He continued to raise the question that had been interrupted: "What I want to ask is, can this new soldier card be used as a bank card?"

The computer girl cried for a while, then softly said to Tang Long with the expression of a rain-soaked begonia: "What do you want to ask? Tell your sister, and she will definitely help you solve it"

The young lady impatiently interrupted in a low voice: "Alright, this time I absolutely will not return early. Every time I go out to have fun, you all drag me back, and I am more annoyed than you are." At this point, she suddenly raised her voice: "Yes, two economy class tickets to Rad Star, totaling 7,000 yuan."

The young lady, upon hearing this, raised her head to respond, but upon seeing Tang Long's smile, she was momentarily taken aback, her cheeks turning even redder. After a while, she lowered her head and softly said to Tang Long: "Boarding at Gate 14 of Channel 23"

The formulaic language of the bank's computer earlier made him feel uneasy; he still preferred the more humanized computer he had encountered before.

The man was momentarily taken aback, perhaps he did not expect the young lady to ask such a question. However, he quickly pointed to the sunglasses on his face and said in a low voice, "These glasses can filter out virtual images, so my subordinates and I immediately recognized the young lady."

The tall man laughed heartily and said, "Of course, just look at who I am! Let's go. Ah... by the way, take off these black sunglasses; if we wear them, everyone will be staring at us." The two tall men, having removed their sunglasses, walked shoulder to shoulder towards the boarding passage.

Tang Long cursed and grumbled, as he had not anticipated that the military would have such lucrative opportunities. In his view, senior officers earned at most 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, since the state provided for their food, clothing, and housing, which was sufficient for their families to live a prosperous life. However, he was surprised to find that the actual amounts were much higher than he had imagined, and shockingly so. Furthermore, he was also very indignant about the low wages of the lower-ranking soldiers, as it was these soldiers who were the ones facing death.

What other services do you need? Cash withdrawal? Transfer? Exit?

At that moment, the young lady covered her face, gazing dreamily at Tang Long's handsome figure, murmuring to herself: "How did I become so flustered? Is it just because I saw a handsome man that I lost my composure? I have seen handsome men before, but why is it this time..." Just as she was about to continue her self-talk, a voice called out: "Miss." This startled her.

At Gate 14 of Channel 23, a crowd has already formed, and an airport staff member responsible for ticket verification has begun checking tickets. Some may wonder why a task that could easily be accomplished by computers still relies on human intervention. It is well known that the stability of a society is directly proportional to the unemployment rate; in other words, the fewer unemployed individuals there are, the more stable the society becomes. With a population of several trillion in the Federation, even if only 1% are unemployed, that still amounts to hundreds of billions of people without jobs. Even if the number of federal troops reaches 1 billion, it still pales in comparison to this population by several multiples. If these individuals were to riot, the Federation would collapse immediately.

The federal territory is vast, and the cost to travel from one farthest planet to the other can easily amount to several tens of thousands. The majority of the population belongs to the low-income class, and it is not as imagined that they can freely travel across the universe; some individuals have never even stepped outside their home planet in their entire lives

"Why is this young lady so shy?" Tang Long stared blankly at the young lady, causing her to lower her head immediately when she raised it. With her head bowed, she handed back the military card with both hands and softly said, "This is a military card that allows you to use all public facilities for free. You just need to insert it into the inspection machine at the boarding gate; there is no need to buy a ticket."

As Tang Long began to look around, he noticed that the passengers waiting to have their tickets checked and board the plane showed no signs of dissatisfaction; instead, they wore relaxed smiles and engaged in quiet conversations with their companions. Perhaps this was a habit formed over hundreds of years, or maybe it was because people felt that sincere wishes expressed by fellow humans were warmer than those spoken by a computer-generated voice.

Tang Long stared in astonishment at the scene before him: "No way? The computer can cry? It can also recognize a younger brother? I certainly did not acknowledge her as an older sister; does she not know that the term 'older sister' is a polite expression?" These words were not something Tang Long would express, as he was not accustomed to hurting others' feelings, even if it was a computer.

"It is decided then, let us take a break," the man said as he patted his companion on the shoulder, pointed to his ear, and then resumed a serious tone, saying: "02, 02, I am 01. The lady has given us the tickets. If we were to cancel them, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so we have decided to find an appropriate time to return after disembarking. The task of protecting the lady is now entrusted to you. In order not to interfere with the spaceship's flight, we will close the communication after this call." He then resumed a serious tone, saying: "02, 02, I am 01. The lady has given us the tickets. If we were to cancel them, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so we have decided to find an appropriate time to return after disembarking. The task of protecting the lady is now entrusted to you. In order not to interfere with the spaceship's flight, we will close the communication after this call"

What could be the reason that airline ticket agents across various regions are actually human beings rather than computer systems! Sigh... Perhaps it is to reduce the number of unemployed individuals? Murmuring to himself, Tang Long casually approached the nearest ticket counter and said to the young and beautiful female ticket agent, "Excuse me, I would like to purchase a ticket to Planet Rad." As he spoke, he handed over his military ID card.

However, when Tang Long saw the two men in black behind him, he couldn't help but take a closer look. He remembered that they had been standing right behind him when he bought his ticket. The two men smiled, revealing their white teeth, and politely nodded when they noticed Tang Long looking at them. Tang Long did not consider himself a significant figure, nor did he suffer from paranoia, so he had no other thoughts. Naturally, he smiled and nodded in return.

The female computer operator immediately showed a look of surprise and said: "Oh, you don't know? The new recruit card is the military card. If you take the metal smart chip from that card and wear it around your neck, the military's computer will know where you are. Moreover, that chip is used to store all your personal information, achievements, and assets. Additionally, the military card can be used as a phone card, credit card, passport, and all other forms of identification. This is a privilege exclusive to military personnel. Didn't you know any of this?"

At that moment, the voice of BBB sounded, and the new recruit card was ejected. The computer lady smiled and said, "Alright, I have transferred your salary for the past year, and the new recruit card has been upgraded to a formal military card, with all functions fully operational. Oh, and if you find yourself short on funds, feel free to come to me for assistance. Well then, let's chat again when you have time." As soon as the computer lady finished speaking, she immediately vanished, and the electronic door of the consultation room opened automatically.
