Chapter 2 [002] Forging an identity and sneaking into the inner city
In addition to drinking beer and eating fried chicken, Qin Jiandan has a third wish that he dares not tell his master - to marry a beautiful wife.

However, Qin Jiandan was still a virgin in his 20s. Whenever he asked his master, "Now that I have learned the "Steel Armor Breathing Method", can I abandon my virginity without losing my power?", his master would always angrily rebuke him, "A real man should have a wife!" "Don't you think I have never been close to women in my life?" "Women will only slow down your punching speed!"

Fearing that the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" might fail, Qin Jiandan didn't dare to go beyond the limit.

The outer city is still full of crimes tonight. Qin Jiandan, who had just been promoted to the young master of the Night Dragon Society, glanced at the magenta neon signs in Fireworks Alley.

The signs that flickered alternately read: "Cheap", "Very Fresh", "Very Delicious", "Buy Them", "Support Group Buying"

Qin Jiandan was not such a loser that he went out to call a prostitute to celebrate his promotion. He saw these videos of prostitutes on his sister's computer screen.

The huge Chinese-style building of the Night Dragon Society headquarters consists of many blocks. The "Intelligence Department" where my sister works is located on the second underground floor on the east side. Her main job is to stare at the nine LCD screens in front of her every day to collect intelligence.

"Congratulations, brother! I haven't seen you for a long time and you've become the young master. As your younger sister, I can also walk sideways in the future!"

The messy cables affected the indoor lighting. The girl took advantage of this and suddenly appeared behind her brother, intending to scare him with her lively and pleasant voice.

Qin Jiandan pretended to be surprised, then turned back to his sister and let down all his guard.

The smiling girl is petite, with symmetrical buns on her hair and wearing a loose red training suit. From head to toe, she exudes the stereotype of a "Chinese Kung Fu Girl" from the Earth era.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the girl is wearing a pair of heavy waterproof insulated engineering boots, which do not match the training clothes. The multifunctional belt tied around her waist is also a bit bloated, and the belt bag is inserted diagonally with practical tools such as screwdrivers, wire cutters, and hex wrenches.

The "Kung Fu Girl" who is full of mixed style actually has no Kung Fu skills at all. In a hand-to-hand fight, she can only hit people with a hexagonal wrench. Her real profession is a hacker.

"Young Master or something like that is just a stopgap measure used by the president to force me to cooperate. You know I am most afraid of trouble."

Qin Jiandan did not dare to reveal that the president was seriously ill, as he was strictly ordered to keep it confidential.

"Come to think of it, Linlin, you're eating buns again... Do you want me to get some fried chicken for us to eat?"

Linlin wears a bun hairstyle and eats buns often because it saves time and effort and makes it less likely to miss the surveillance screen.

"Don't you get tired of eating fried chicken all the time? And it's not real chicken, it's just something made of "animal mud" that looks like fried chicken!"

The girl said this as she took a big bite of the meat bun in her hand, and the fragrant oil overflowed.

"The buns I often eat happen to be a combination of "plant mud" and "animal mud". They are definitely closer to the taste of buns from the Earth era than your fried chicken!"

Qin Jiandan wanted to refute that the fried chicken shop he often went to claimed that it used 100% chicken cell "animal mud", which should be rounded up to chicken. However, looking at his sister who was eating the meat buns with a good appetite, he couldn't say it in the end.

There is no need to go to Earth. In the inner city restaurants, you can find real fried chicken and real buns. The ingredients come from the vertical farm of the Central Tower Company. They are called "very fresh" and "very delicious."

Unfortunately, Qin Jiandan and Linlin are only "resident level: D" from the outer city, and it is very difficult for them to enter the inner city. In comparison, the high prices in the inner city are not so important.

Linlin in particular is not allowed to enter the inner city. She uses her hacking skills to break into patrol drones to steal intelligence, and these drones all belong to the Central Tower Company without exception.

There is only one company in Huanshi City, and it is the supreme existence in Huanshi City. Once caught breaking into the company's equipment, there is a 100% chance that someone will be sentenced to death.

Under normal circumstances, Linlin would never be able to enter the inner city to eat real buns. When Qin Jiandan thought of his sister with bun-like hair but no right to eat buns freely, he became furious and wanted to burn the hypocritical inner city to the ground.

"Brother? What are you thinking about? Is the computer frozen?"

After eating the buns, Linlin, with her hands free, waved her five fingers in front of Qin Jiandan's dazed eyes.

Finding some grease on her fingertips, the girl thought for a moment and then smeared the grease on the chest of her training suit made of anti-pollution material - although it was easier, it was still a bit unhygienic.

Qin Jiandan would never blame her sister for such a small matter of hygiene. Linlin, who was only 15 years old, needed to concentrate to fight against a harsher fate.

When they were young, they had to pick up garbage to eat every day, which was not hygienic at all. Linlin was seriously injured in her left calf due to an accident, and the scene of blood on the ground still often appeared in Qin Jiandan's nightmares.

At that time, because she had no money and could not afford the company's "regeneration chamber", Linlin delayed her treatment and has been left with sequelae to this day. Although it is not noticeable when she walks normally, she is unable to do the "running and jumping" that a teenage girl should do in her daily life.

The "best solution" given by Doctor Li of the Yelong Society is to wait until Linlin is older and her body stops developing, and then amputate her left calf and replace it with a mechanical prosthesis.

Qin Jiandan sometimes felt that her sister's daily optimism and liveliness, as well as her bright training clothes that gradually changed from light pink to dark red from shoulders to legs and had a colorful reflective effect, were all the armor she needed to face her fate.

The pair of waterproof insulated engineering boots on his feet, which did not match his training clothes, were secretly weighted. On the one hand, it was for rehabilitation, and on the other hand, perhaps it was also to adapt to the heavy prosthesis in advance?

Qin Jiandan felt extremely upset when he thought about his sister's calf being amputated and replaced with a crude prosthetic like the one his senior brother Huchi had.

Senior brother is ugly and has scars all over his face. For him, getting a prosthetic body may have a beautifying effect. But why did Linlin have to be amputated even though she is so cute? If Aladdin's magic lamp really exists, I really want to make a wish to sacrifice Senior brother's other arm in exchange for my sister's complete and healthy body!
"I want to go to the inner city tonight." Qin Jiandan spent some time to sort out his thoughts and decided to complete his master's task first. In order to fulfill his master's long-cherished wish and for his sister's health to recover, the wish of beer, fried chicken and a beautiful wife had to be put aside.

As he spoke, the video signals from three of the nine monitors in the room were cut off and turned into snowy noise.

The drone signals stolen by hacking technology are inherently unstable. In order to prevent reverse positioning, Linlin will actively cut off the connection from time to time.

"Are you going to the inner city to investigate the scene where Watanabe was killed? It is indeed not appropriate for people from the Night Dragon Society to enter the inner city in a high-profile manner, but brother, you just became the young master and you entered the city alone. It seems a bit worrying..."

Linlin was not suitable for standing for a long time, so she sat down in front of the monitoring desk to rest. She quickly tapped the keyboard with her right hand and supported her cheek with her left hand, squeezing her left face into a bun-like shape.

"Don't worry." Qin Jiandan patted his sister's shoulder from behind, "Don't forget that in order to practice recently, Master asked me to sleep in the dead mud field of the canal where mutant crocodiles are infested every night. When attacked by the mutant crocodiles' sharp teeth, I can subconsciously use the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" and even fall asleep like that. What is there to be afraid of?"

"But I always feel that when my brother goes to the inner city this time, some side plot that I don't want to see will happen..."

Linlin's one-handed typing slowed down a bit. In the upper right corner of the monitor, a customer at a roadside stall had a conflict with a low-level member of the Night Dragon Society, but it was not intense.

The indirect lighting from the monitor made the girl's face look hazy. From this angle, it was clearer to see that the two strands of hair that covered her earlobes were dyed pink near the tips of the originally black hair.

This is not the result of intentional highlights, but a natural variation in the special environment of Ringstone City. This terrestrial planet is not a replica of the Earth, and there are still many mysteries to be solved. For the people living here, changes in hair and eye color are already the slightest variation that can be ignored.

Qin Jiandan's hair also had some changes. Among his full head of black hair, two strands of white hair extended backwards from the top of his ear, and after a finger's length they converged into an extremely sharp angle, making his profile particularly easy to recognize.

Although they have such similar characteristics in hair color variation, Qin Jiandan and Linlin, brother and sister, have no real blood relationship.

However, Qin Jiandan vaguely remembered that he and Linlin once lived in the same family, although this memory had become blurred for some reason, and was even accompanied by chaotic fragments of his previous life on Earth.

Ridiculous! The human immigrant ship from Earth crashed more than 100 years ago. How could I have lived on Earth?

"...It seems that you want me to hack into the company system and temporarily raise your resident level, thereby greatly shortening the inspection time for entering the city, right?"

Qin Jiandan nodded, knowing that his sister could sense his movements by habit without looking back.

"Just like you did before, Linlin, change my resident level to C-level temporarily, so that I don't have to wait in line at the city checkpoint while the Spider Tank points a Gatling gun at my back."

"Why not change it to Class B this time?" As Linlin half turned her face, her pink hair swayed slightly, and her black eyes, which were always staring at the monitor, flashed with a thoughtful and wise light.

"Brother, the news that you have become the young master may have spread to the inner city. With a Class B residence permit, the probability of the city police actively causing trouble for you will be greatly reduced, and I will feel more at ease."

"Eh? So it's possible to temporarily adjust the resident's level to B level?" Qin Jiandan took a deep breath to express his surprise, "I didn't expect my sister to have become so great!"

"It's not without cost." Linlin said, "To achieve this goal, I need to detonate 20 "logic bombs" that were previously buried in the company's network, accounting for half of the total. And as before, the temporary increase in resident permits can only last for a maximum of 24 hours. Brother, you'd better come back as soon as you finish your investigation."

"I will definitely come back as soon as possible. I have to attend a staff meeting tomorrow morning!"

Qin Jiandan couldn't help but frown when he thought that Zhu Laoer and others would definitely cause trouble at the meeting.

Fortunately, the president is supporting me from behind. If things don’t work out, I can just fight like I did with Senior Brother Huchi and ask Zhu Laoer to fight me one-on-one…

"It's 8pm now, bro, you should head to the city checkpoint at District 12 right now. I'll probably be able to handle it as soon as you get in line!"

"Eh? Didn't you just tap twice on the keyboard and get the permission before? Why do you have to wait this time?"

"Because this time it's a B-level permit! It's the level that allows entry into the city without inspection!"

The pride in Linlin's tone was almost overflowing.

"In order to obtain a Class B license, it's not enough to just detonate a logic bomb. I need someone from the inner city who has just been promoted to Class A to show up so that I can take advantage of the other party's data changes and pass you off as their family member to obtain a Class B license. Don't worry, there are 2 or 3 people promoted to Class A every hour, so you won't wait in vain."

"Family members..." Qin Jiandan knew nothing about hacking technology, so he could only trust his sister in this regard.

"Then there's no time to lose. I'll leave now. I'll bring you some buns from the inner city!"

Linlin puffed up her cheeks, making her entire face swell up like a bun.

"I don't care about the buns in the inner city! Your safe return is more important than anything else! And... and you are not allowed to look for women in the inner city! Even if it is difficult to invade the inner city with drones, I will keep a close eye on you with these eyes!"
