After entrusting the task of familiarizing the people with the Federation to Yao Xuanji and Lan Shuiying, Lin Chen went to the Science Council.
He must securely hold onto Ning Xiuzhu’s thigh.
Besides, the shackles on his neck have yet to be removed.
In the office, Lin Chen t Ning Xiuzhu.
Ning Xiuzhu was writing a report. Seeing Lin Chen enter, he laughed and said, "Is your family all settled?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Secretary Bai helped, now everyone has legal identities, no need to worry about unnecessary troubles, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Of course, Secretary Bai was so forthcoming with help, not only because of the life-saving grace, but also for other reasons.
Lin Chen and his people possess the ability to carry massive cargo or even people for star sky jumps, which is very useful to the City Lord.
Simply put, a group like Lin Chen’s is extrely valuable!
Moreover, Lin Chen and his people all possess strength comparable to sixth-level martial warriors. As long as they embark on the martial artist cultivation path, with their physical prowess, advancing to the seventh level shouldn’t be difficult.
In martial artist cultivation, physical prowess is most important. The better the physical condition, the more energy can be endured, achieving better cultivation effects and reaching higher realms.
Lin Chen and his people have never practiced martial artist cultivation, yet their physical prowess is on par with sixth-level warriors, using this as a foundation for cultivation, where is the limit?
If this group can be drawn to one’s side, it would surely be greatly beneficial for one’s future.
The City Lord clearly considered this. Originally, Lin Chen and his team were rulers of their own world. If they were constrained to collaborate using shackles, it might bring temporary assistance, but if one day Lin Chen and his team reach seventh, eighth level of power, then such actions may invite backlash.
Who, being rulers of their own world, would tolerate having their lives controlled?
Instead of waiting for uncertain backlash in the future, it would be better to grant favors now, establish a good collaborative relationship, interact as collaborators, friends, even if future collaboration isn’t possible, at least they won’t beco enemies.
Ning Xiuzhu laughed and asked, "Where is your family living now?"
"Hotel."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "First get familiar with life in the Federation, I will buy so houses after making money, and settle everyone down."
Ning Xiuzhu nodded, "You all have great strength and divine power. Making money is simple; however, once settled down, what do you plan to do?"
Lin Chen candidly replied, "No plans yet, probably just take so transport business from the City Lord’s Mansion to earn money, then purchase resources, cultivate peacefully, and enhance our strength."
"Our family doesn’t have any grand ambitions, just want to be stable like salted fishes, but without a seventh-level warrior at ho, there is still so unease in our hearts..."
Ning Xiuzhu nodded, "You’ve helped with my research project, which is considered basically complete. Next is implentation and enhancent of the project, which will be a longer period."
"You and Qiao Wei will start martial artist cultivation next, are you willing to cooperate with us to collect so data? Hmm, we would also like to collect cultivation data from your other family mbers, so as to assess the potential of converting your cultivation style."
"If the data is impressive, perhaps we could migrate powerhouses from your holand, join the Federation, switch cultivation styles, and beco even stronger warriors serving the Federation."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Naturally, no problem, just don’t slice us up."
Ning Xiuzhu laughed, "It’s just test paraters, at most we just need a bit of flesh tissue, won’t cause significant damage or harm to your bodies."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No problem, we will fully cooperate."
Ning Xiuzhu’s eyes landed on Lin Chen’s face, seeing the shackles on Lin Chen’s neck, he suddenly rembered and laughed, "Right, I promised you earlier that you would be free when you returned, nearly forgot..."
Ning Xiuzhu raised his wrist, opened a light curtain, and tapped virtually a few tis on it.
A buzzing sound suddenly ca from Lin Chen’s neck, and the shackles on his neck suddenly sprung open.
"Since you’ve t my requirents, I’ve fulfilled my promise, I’ve also removed the shackles of the other two of you, you are free now."
Lin Chen took off the shackles from his neck, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally rid of the shackles, finally regained freedom!
"This shackle..."
"Take it with you, I have no use for it, it’s considered a decent piece of technology, maybe you’ll find it handy soday. I’ll send you the identification code, match it, and you can use it."
"Alright!"
Lin Chen directly stored the shackles away, if ever encountered with special situations, this thing can be fully used to threaten others to obey, preventing betrayal.
"You’ve now regained freedom and acquired legal status as a Federation citizen, your future words and deeds will be governed by Federation law, in your world, strength is everything, the weak are killed at will, but not in the Federation, you need to get used to all this, or your abilities might trouble you greatly."
Lin Chen nodded, "I will obey the rules, but I did encounter disciples from Jinghai City’s three major families bullying the weak, even openly threatening to kill the opponent or cripple them..."
Ning Xiuzhu’s expression remained calm, "Any society will have layers, will have privileged classes. If you’re not in the privileged class, then you best abide by the Federation’s laws. If you are, then you naturally know what to do."
"However complete the law is, there are always loopholes to exploit. If you have doubts on this, I suggest spending so ti studying the Federation’s laws, so that in future days, when facing many situations, you might have more choices."
Listening to Ning Xiuzhu’s initial words, Lin Chen’s mood was quite nuanced.
He knew Ning Xiuzhu was speaking the truth, wherever there are people, there are layers, and privileged class will exist; the law can only try to ensure more ordinary people’s interests, but can’t say it completely protects them.
Just like the other day, when that guy bullied Geng Feng, he didn’t even need to act, it was all his bodyguards who acted, even if Geng Feng was really crippled, it’s the bodyguards who bear the responsibility, and they probably would cook up a story about mutual fighting and accidental mishaps to evade legal punishnt.
Ordinary people wanting to fight privileged class, how could they be a match?
However, upon hearing Ning Xiuzhu’s later words, Lin Chen couldn’t help but brighten up.
He was right indeed.
Since Federation laws are strict, if he could beco familiar with them, in future encounters of similar nature, he wouldn’t be restrained by worries of the law, and might even be able to reverse the situation by leveraging the law.
With strength in place, although not fearing being bullied, having a reasonable and compliant reason, wouldn’t it be even more satisfying to deal with those unforgiving guys?
