Chapter 3941 - 3960: Monogamy—Have We Rekindled the Marriage?

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunate that he had previously saved a favor.Lin Chen didn’t feel that using this favor here was a waste. On the contrary, he felt that using a favor to provide so many people with a legitimate federal status was already a huge gain.

As long as they have a legitimate federal status, from then on, everyone would be protected by federal laws, holding the legal rights of a federal citizen, and wouldn’t be blackmailed or oppressed due to their status.

Not long after Lin Chen hung up the phone, someone called back, claiming to be an official from the City Hall.

Lin Chen asked, "We have a lot of people, will it be too much trouble?"

The official asked, "How many people?"

Lin Chen told the other party the number he had already calculated, and the official laughed, "Not too many, no trouble at all. Where are you now? I’ll come to find you."

Lin Chen reported the place name, and before long, the official arrived.

The official was a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man. After meeting, they chatted briefly, learning that Secretary Bai’s instructions were to deal with the formal federal status for everyone. Lin Chen was quite surprised and quickly called Lan Shuiying, who was still in Jinghai City.

Previously, they only had temporary federal status. Since they were changing to a formal identity, it was natural to handle it all at once. Otherwise, doing it later might require finding people again, creating unnecessary hassle.

Lan Shuiying arrived quickly, and the group followed the official to the office to handle their identities.

By now, everyone had already changed out of the robes of cultivators and into modern attire. Walking down the street, they didn’t stand out too much, though the large number of pretty women in the group did attract some envious glances.

At the office, the official handed each person a form, asking them to fill out their identity information. If they were a family, they had to note their relationships.

Then came the issue.

The federal marriage law is monogamous. Of course, privately, no one cares how many women you have, but legally, it must be one husband and one wife.

Lin Chen felt like he was back in the Human World.

Lin Chen was just about to discuss with everyone, but Yao Xuanji and the other women had already reached a consensus without needing any discussion.

Wife, Jia Xue!

In the Human World, Lin Chen and Jia Xue were already a legally married couple, and even when they later reached the Immortal Realm, where other women were stronger than Jia Xue, everyone still acknowledged Jia Xue as Lin Chen’s legal wife.

Now in the Federation, there needed to be such a legal wife, and naturally, it was Jia Xue.

Though everyone was like a loving family, only Jia Xue could genuinely convince everyone.

Lin Chen acknowledged everyone’s words, turning his head with a smile, "In the Human World, we were already a legally married couple, though it was fake back then. Now, it’s renewed."

This was just a small episode in the registration process. Once everyone finished filling out the information, the official quickly processed the paperwork for everyone, which indicated that from this moment on, they were genuinely federal citizens who no longer had to hide. They could live and work openly, engaging in all sorts of activities permitted by federal law.

Once everyone’s status was settled, the official left.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Alright, welcome to the Federation. From today, we are all federal citizens."

Everyone’s face showed a relaxed smile. They had long heard Lin Chen talk about the general situation of the Federation and knew what obtaining this status meant.

Lin Chen and others, initially brought into the Federation as natives of the Lost Ball who could be killed at any time, had worked hard to obtain a temporary status. They wore shackles on their necks that could be lethal at any time, yet upon reaching the Federation, they immediately gained identity, which was clearly all thanks to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen laughed, "I’ll first buy everyone a watch each, making communication easy and allowing you to learn about this world through the internet. During these days, there’s no need to do anything other than get familiar with the Federation. Later, we’ll figure out how to get a house for everyone to live comfortably."

Lin Chen led everyone to the Warrior Center, purchased watches for all, then took them to the hotel and booked enough rooms.

Once the family was settled, Lin Chen gathered with the women in a suite to discuss their next steps.

Though they didn’t plan to make a name in the Federation, wanting to be carefree, they at least needed a spacious house, right?

There were so many people in the family; even if others didn’t live together, they as a family should, shouldn’t they? Would a small house suffice?

A standalone villa would be necessary, right?

That’s not cheap!

Lin Chen inquired of Lan Shuiying, "During this time you’ve been here, did anything happen?"

Lan Shuiying laughed, "I earned 10 million."

Lin Chen laughed, "Helping transport supplies to that camp?"

"Yes."

Lan Shuiying replied, "After they prepared the necessary materials, I helped transport them over. For us, it was just a matter of raising a hand, and then the City Hall gave me a reward of 10 million."

"Secretary Bai told me that this reward, compared to the cost of transporting goods with a transport ship and escorts, is surely less. But considering this task isn’t difficult for us, the price was relatively lowered."

"Secretary Bai also mentioned that in the future if there are similar transport missions, they can contact us. There are many such tasks, and although each task may have a reduced price, many tasks lead to more money."

"I was thinking about building a good relationship with the City Lord. That’s most important. Money isn’t important. After all, if we want to use this to earn money, we can earn it from others as well."

Lin Chen laughed, "You’ve done well. As for City Hall’s orders, as long as it’s handled by the City Lord, we’ll take whatever they offer, and maintaining a good relationship is what matters. The money itself isn’t important."

"You might not know yet, but Yue Yue hasn’t even arrived, and she’s already planning to start a transport company, monopolizing the commercial transport of Planet 49..."

Lin Chen explained Gu Yuexi’s previous plan, and Lan Shuiying laughed, "As long as we maintain a good relationship with the officials, that’s entirely feasible. However, our current average strength is the Sixth-level Martial Warrior. Without a Seventh-level Warrior, real trouble is hard to resolve."

"In such a situation, we can take on as many of City Hall’s tasks as possible. With the City Lord covering us, we just need to focus on deliveries without making mistakes, and others wouldn’t dare give us trouble."

"When all our strength levels up, and we have a few Seventh-level Warriors, that will be the right time to expand our business. Others won’t have the strength to trouble us. After all, the strongest warriors on Planet 49 are only at the Seventh-level..."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s right, but with so many people to settle, we still need quite a bit of money, so I should find an opportunity to meet Secretary Bai and have a chat..."
