Chapter 2965: Legal Status

Afterward, the number of people in the café decreased significantly. After all, they were couples on dates, and since Dong Long was considered a local boss, the incident in the café made these white-collar workers fear getting involved.

This time, Ye Luo primarily wanted to understand the situation in the City of Technology from her.

Using violence here is obviously not feasible! After all, what Ye Luo wants is a Transmission Array! He must earn the trust of the City of Technology first!

However, to the City of Technology, cultivators have always been seen as lower-class. Even the executives of major forces enjoy life in the City of Technology only because the city wants to extract their crystal stones.

This indeed troubled Ye Luo, as he wanted to be appreciated by the higher-ups of the City of Technology, which was not an easy task.

“Although you possess a large amount of crystal stones, this is ultimately not a long-term plan for survival in this city! You need to become a resident of this city!” Fang Fang suddenly said solemnly.

Ye Luo looked at her puzzled, “I already have a legal status!”

Fang Fang smiled wryly, shaking her head, “Actually, what you have is merely a special status for cultivators, allowing you to temporarily survive in this city! You must pay a huge amount of crystal stones every year, and once you run out of crystal stones, you will immediately be expelled! In our eyes, you are not equal to us at all!”

Only then did Ye Luo understand that such a situation existed.

It seems the higher-ups of the City of Technology are merely using these cultivators.

“So how can I obtain legal status?” Ye Luo asked.

This is very important to him; only by having this status can he integrate into the city and potentially have the qualification to access the Transmission Array!

“This isn’t difficult! Do you know how we distinguish your status?”

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment. Ordinary people have average eyesight and cannot sense the aura of a cultivator. Can it be through their token? But those tokens are quite common and likely contain chips or something similar; however, only drones can sense them, and ordinary people should be unaware.

Seeing Ye Luo’s expression, Fang Fang chuckled, “Don’t think too complicated; we only distinguish by clothing! You cultivators never seem to change clothes, so when you walk down the street, we can tell at a glance!”

Ye Luo laughed out loud; that was the reason. However, cultivator clothing often has special functions, such as arrays for absorbing spiritual power, defensive arrays, and formidable defense capabilities. Cultivators have a peculiar attitude toward clothing; unless it’s an extremely unique situation, they won’t change clothes.

“If you change your clothes, people around won’t know you’re a cultivator. And even in this city, not everyone has legal status! If parents lack certain abilities, many descendants won’t have legal residential status! They’re merely surviving in this city!”

Ye Luo could understand this, as this city, although not small, is not enough given the constantly expanding population.

Indeed, the number of cultivators accounts for a certain percentage, and having legal status means receiving subsidies, which is a significant expenditure for the city. Therefore, young people without contributions to the city, even if indigenous, won’t receive city recognition!

After all, the City of Technology is still in its seedling stage! In the Demon Realm, it’s merely a well-developed Seed Force, nothing more.

“If so, isn’t my chance to obtain status even slimmer?” Ye Luo laughed bitterly.

Fang Fang, however, shook her head with a smile, “Actually, we’re quite fearful of cultivators. It’s said you possess powers we can’t attain. But you don’t want to integrate into our city! Of course, there are some cultivators who took off those peculiar clothes and contributed their strength to the city, naturally obtaining their rightful status!”

“Are you suggesting I follow their path?” Ye Luo suddenly asked.

Fang Fang’s face immediately changed slightly, “I was just speaking hypothetically! The choice is yours! No matter your decision, I will support you!”

Ye Luo laughed. He was originally born in a technological nation, and in fact, everything in the City of Technology is much more familiar to him than in the Demon Realm!

He doesn’t reject such a life; he simply won’t indulge in the comforts technology provides.

Plus, the clothing Ye Luo wore was ordinary attire with no function! Even if Fang Fang hadn’t mentioned it, he would have eventually changed it during his free time.

Besides, the clothing in the City of Technology closely resembles Earth’s clothing, which he is keen to switch to.

“It’s natural to change clothes; I just don’t know where to buy them!” Ye Luo said with a smile.

Fang Fang’s eyes widened, delightedly looking at Ye Luo, “You…truly want to change clothes?”

After all, only by obtaining resident status can Ye Luo be with Fang Fang!

In this city, men can marry female cultivators, but male cultivators marrying women here is practically impossible!

In their eyes, it’s entirely bloodline pollution. Even if men can marry female cultivators, they can’t have offspring!

“Why? Is there a lot of restrictions on buying clothes here?” Ye Luo frowned, asking.

Fang Fang shook her head, “Naturally not. If you have time, I can guide you!”

Ye Luo thought for a moment; he didn’t have any other pressing matters, so he simply nodded.

Then, the two left the café, and there was a car nearby. Ye Luo got in, not speeding this time but using the autopilot. This autopilot is indeed enjoyable for people, not only smooth but also very safe.

The malls here are all indoors, and their defensive measures are done well. Ye Luo observed and thought that even Martial Emperor-level experts couldn’t destroy these malls, and several Ultra Combat Robots guarded the mall entrances.

Clearly, it was protection against cultivators!

On one hand, the mall is the most crowded place; if cultivators were to cause trouble and attack, the losses would be immeasurable!

While the city isn’t short on population, the number of white-collar workers is not large, and most who can shop here are white-collar workers, or people with significant status in the city.
