This city was too weird, but it looked prosperous.

Everyone abided by the law and was very civilized. However, all the residents lived cautiously. It was weird.

Wei Huo and the others had already walked into the city. The pedestrians would occasionally glance at them, but in the end, they still walked away. They did not say a word, as they were careful not to cause any trouble.

The golden armor asked, “Why are they so careful?”

Wei Huo frowned. One could say these people were trembling in fear as if they were walking on thin ice.

They were too careful. A floating golden armor had come to the city, but no one was gossiping. No one was watching, and no one posted pictures of it on their social media.

That was weird.

Not long after Wei Huo and the others left, a special car drove over from afar. The words ‘Civil Affairs’ were on the car, which was heading straight for Wei Huo and the others. The car parked in front of Wei Huo and the others, and two staff members in suits walked out.

One of the staff members said politely to Wei Huo and the others, “I’m sorry, you three. We’re from the Foreigners Management Department. We’re called the Foreign Affairs Department. We’re in charge of registering and managing foreigners. Please tell me your names. I’ll help you register your temporary residence.”

Wei Huo was surprised. The two staff members were very polite and efficient. After they asked the three of them for their names, they applied for a temporary residence permit.

The staff gave three small cards to them and a thick copy of the Codex Revised Edition.

Wei Huo looked at the three cards. Their names were ‘Gao Huo’, ‘Xiao Qian’, and ‘golden armor’. Below each name was the number 100.

Wei Huo was speechless. No creature with a brain had ever pronounced his name correctly. Only a brainless creature like the golden armor could get it right.

The three of them accepted the copy of the Codex Revised Edition and became serious all of a sudden. “This is the law of our city. Every offense will result in the corresponding legal points being deducted according to the degree of the crime committed. If 100 points are deducted, the punishment will be carried out directly.”

The golden armor’s eyes widened. “F*ck! Is this country really governed by law? The same style as prominent statesman Li Si of the Qin Dynasty?”

The staff member glared at him. “If you curse, five points will be deducted!”

The golden armor’s card suddenly lost five points. It now had 95 points.

The golden armor was speechless.

It quickly flipped open the Codex Revised Edition and took a few quick looks. It said in shock as it read, “This f… Littering, cursing, not giving up your seat, and not queuing up results in point deduction?”

The staff member nodded solemnly. “We are a city governed by law. In order to build a civilized city and allow the people to live in peace and avoid human calamity, we have to rely on laws to establish order!”

“Wait!” the golden armor suddenly said loudly. It flipped to one of the pages and pointed at it. “A 25-year-old who is not married will be forcibly allocated a partner within three months. If one doesn’t obey, 100 points will be deducted. Is this true?”

The staff member nodded.
