Even though Yunyang knew there were definitely surveillance cameras in the lounge, she still turned her back to Zhang Jianguo and Li Lin and furtively opened her spatial device.
She rummaged through it.
The latest models of battle mechs and weapons were obviously out of the question. The Blue Star’s civilization was not yet advanced enough to handle that kind of technology.
The healing potions were out too. Beastmen had different genes from humans, and bringing them out might cause some unforeseen risk. She could easily end up doing more harm than good.
After searching for quite a while, Yunyang finally found a photon gun that had been phased out by the Federation more than two thousand years ago.
Nuo Xiao had brought it back to the Federation from an extraterrestrial galaxy.
Although the photon gun’s technology was still far beyond what the Blue Star could master at present, she had nothing more primitive than this.
Yunyang turned around and handed the photon gun to Nuo Xiao, who was closest to her.
The moment Li Lin saw the gun, she slipped one hand behind her back, and every muscle in her body tensed.
Only after she realized that Nuo Xiao had no intention of firing did she relax slightly. Even then, she kept a close eye on every move Yunyang and the others made.
Zhang Jianguo was somewhat surprised when he received the photon gun as well.
Before this young comrade had entered the station, Li Lin had certainly searched her from head to toe. No firearm had been found then, yet she had somehow produced one now…
Zhang Jianguo was just about to think it through when he noticed something strange about the gun in his hand.
It was too light, as though it had no bullets in it.
“Young comrade, does this gun not have any bullets?”
At those words, Qin Mo stared at him in disbelief.
How had this man managed to ask such a primitive question?
Noticing Qin Mo’s reaction, Yunyang nearly burst out laughing, but she quickly schooled her expression into seriousness.
“This is a photon gun. It converts light energy into attack energy.”
The moment she said this, Zhang Jianguo and Li Lin’s expressions changed.
Even Zhang Jianguo, usually the picture of composure, could not stop his hand from trembling as he held the photon gun.
“This gun…”
He was desperate to take it to his old colleagues and have them study it, but since the gun had been brought out by the young woman in front of him, he could not simply take it away.
“Feel free to do whatever you like with it,” Yunyang said with a smile. “But there is something I need your help with.”
When Zhang Jianguo heard that he could dispose of the photon gun as he wished, his eyes lit up with excitement.
“Tell me. As long as it is something the country can accomplish, we will definitely help you.”
“It doesn’t require the country to get involved.”
“As you have already learned, we came back through time, so we don’t have identity cards or any Huaxia currency…”
As Yunyang spoke, she sighed inwardly.
Who could have imagined that she, the richest woman in the Federation, would now be unable to produce even a single penny?
Apparently finding her request much simpler than expected, Zhang Jianguo was stunned for a moment.
He discreetly glanced once more at the optical computer on Yunyang’s wrist, then smiled and said, “This is easy. Xiao Li, take Comrade Yunyang to register her identity information.”
As for the matter of money, he did not say anything outright, but Li Lin knew what needed to be done.
Once Yunyang’s affairs had been arranged, Zhang Jianguo eagerly left with the photon gun.
Li Lin personally helped Yunyang and her ten beast husbands sort out their identity documents. She even asked an extra question.
“Comrade Yunyang, do you need a household registration booklet?”
These days, household registration booklets were not of much use anymore.
Still, Yunyang asked for one. She was listed as the head of the household, with all ten of her beast husbands included in the same booklet.
However, when it came time to fill in their relationship to the head of the household, the ten beast husbands began arguing.
There was no other reason for it: Huaxia law allowed only one spouse, and every one of the ten beast husbands wanted to claim that position.
Pei Wenye: “My genetic compatibility with Mistress is the highest. I should be listed as her spouse!”
Qin Mo: “I was the first beast husband to arrive at Mistress’s side. I should be listed as her spouse!”
Xuan Yu: “I was the first one Mistress marked!”
Cang Zhuonian: “Then I’m still Mistress’s first SSS-rank beast husband!”
“…”
Fuyuan: “I can help Mistress restore her mental power!”
The other beast husbands: “…As if none of us can do that.”
Although their methods differed, they really could all help their Mistress recover her mental power.
All ten beast husbands held firmly to their own arguments, each convinced that he deserved to be listed as Yunyang’s spouse.
Li Lin had gone numb.
She did not really understand what they meant by genetic compatibility or beast husbands, but she more or less understood that all ten of these men were Comrade Yunyang’s… spouses.
In the Federation Comrade Yunyang had mentioned, one woman having multiple husbands seemed to be legal.
But it was illegal in Huaxia!!!
Seeing that the ten beast husbands were about to start fighting, Li Lin regretted it—deeply regretted it.
Why had she brought up the household registration booklet in the first place?
Li Lin took a deep breath and timidly suggested, “Comrade Yunyang, why don’t we list all of your relationships as brothers and sisters?”
Since none of them were legal anyway, they might as well all become siblings!
Yunyang agreed readily. “That works. Sorry to trouble you.”
The moment she said this, the ten beast husbands, who had been arguing just moments ago, fell silent at the same time.
Although none of them had managed to claim the status of spouse, at least they were all equal to their rivals now. That was fair.
Li Lin hurriedly finished handling their household registrations, took identification photos for all eleven of them, and then decisively escorted them out of the police station.
With her help, Yunyang and her ten beast husbands checked into a nearby hotel.
When it came time to pay, Li Lin felt a sharp pang of pain.
Afraid that Yunyang’s ten beast husbands would start arguing again, she had booked them a presidential suite.
Since the arrangement was not in compliance with regulations, there was no way to put it through the official approval process. She could only pay for it herself in advance.
The room cost 5,888 yuan a night!
After paying a week’s deposit, Li Lin silently sent the invoice to Zhang Jianguo.
She did not say a word, but Zhang Jianguo understood immediately. He reimbursed the hotel expenses from his own account and transferred another 110,000 yuan to Li Lin.
Li Lin typed nervously:
[Director Zhang, this money is…]
[Go buy several mobile phones for Comrade Yunyang and the others, and register phone numbers for them while you’re at it. Remember to give me Comrade Yunyang’s number.]
Li Lin drew in a sharp breath.
A budget of 10,000 yuan per phone?
For that price, they could get the absolute top-of-the-line model among domestic brands.
Well, except for foldable phones.
Still, she felt that Comrade Yunyang probably would not like a heavy foldable phone.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Lin asked Yunyang what she preferred before going out to make the purchase.
That afternoon, Yunyang received eleven mobile phones delivered by a courier service.
The SIM cards had already been inserted. Only one phone had been specially marked—the one Li Lin had personally chosen for her.
Yunyang understood that the information associated with the SIM card in that phone had probably already been added to Li Lin’s or Zhang Jianguo’s contacts.
She did not mind, so she picked up the specially marked phone and turned it on.
Seeing what she did, the ten beast husbands followed her example.
But the moment they saw the image on the phone’s screen, all ten of them fell silent.
Even Nuo Xiao could not help complaining, “Mistress, do they really use such outdated communication devices here?”
