The Slave Trading Center Building is located in the central square of Nanzhou Continent. The main building covers an area of several hectares. The outer wall is radiantly coated with a layer of metal, and a five-pointed star logo made of gold is hung as a decoration. The interior includes All departments and agencies that need to approve and register the entire slave trade process.
The Exchange Building is more than 500 meters tall and has 168 floors. It is a three-section structure. The top section is in the shape of a needle tower and is the first floor, where the United Nations Slave Trade Administration is located. The middle section is a cluster of prisms, from the 31st to the 105th floors. It is the offices of various trading associations, market committees, administrative branches, etc. in Lighthouse Star, as well as various departments related to the slave trade. office. There are not only tax offices and inspection teams that collect tolls on the slave trade, but also special courts that supervise, inspect, and arbitrate the slave trade in accordance with cosmic law. The bottom section is cake-shaped, with levels 1 to 30, and is mainly used for general business such as transaction registration and slave registration. Among them, there are special floors dedicated to handling the transaction and ownership change registration of more than 10,000 slaves, a VIP customer service center, a member customer service center, etc. Finally, the only window for retail investors to register transactions is in the building. One to five floors.
In fact, the Duran family's bureau has attendants who specialize in slave purchasing and registration and other mundane procedures. Of course, the trading building also has VIP customer accounts and the qualifications to make appointments. However, since Gu Hanhan came to the transaction building in person with great interest, it was inconvenient for Chief Garr to mention that Ms. Lichun could be handed over to the purchasing attendant to register the property rights, so he had to accompany her all the way down to the bottom floor. The ground floor hall.
The scene in the hall was different from what I imagined. At least it didn't appear like a station or a slave market where people were so crowded that they would suffocate their breath. Huang He explained that although all legal slave transactions in the galaxy need to be registered and filed through the United Nations Trade Agency, which is the system here in the Trading Building, in fact, the vast majority of transaction filings in the universe are carried out through the Skynet system. of. Rather than going to the trading building in person, the people of the universe obviously prefer to submit the application using their own rings while lying at home, waiting for the system to review it for 24 hours or no more than 72 hours, and then they can successfully obtain the slave's transaction registration number. and proof of ownership. Moreover, slave companies and trading markets in various planetary regions almost all have registration services for customers. However, depending on the domestic laws of each country, the size of the company and the level of the license, the waiting time for processing is slightly different. Therefore, even if the buyer buys a slave in the slave market of the Southern Continent of Lighthouse Star, he often only delivers the chip control wave to the slave company on the spot, leaving the rest of the legal documents to be completed later. Probably only those stingy buyers who have plenty of time, buy a small number of slaves, and are unwilling to pay dozens of dollars more for each person in agency fees will come to the trading building in person to go through the formalities - of course, based on the number of slaves in Nanzhou Continent, In terms of the size of the customers, the number of people who come to go through the formalities is still quite astonishing.
It was noon and there were not many people in the hall, but there was still a queue. Gu Hanhan was very interested and submitted his personal identity certificate and receipt stamped with payment seal to the system in accordance with the regulations. Then he sat on a stool in the designated area and waited patiently for his number to be called. Her followers, regardless of whether they knew the business of registering slaves or not, all stepped aside knowingly so as not to disturb Gu Hanhan's enjoyment. Only Zheng Wenwen and Gu Hanhan sat side by side, holding a piece of processing instructions and whispering to the people in the hall. From time to time, they would look around and mutter about which corner of the universe their strange clothes came from.
It didn't take long, only about a quarter of an hour, when I heard Gu Hanhan's queue number being called. The system notified her to take the slaves who were about to register and go to window 30485. According to the map instructions of the system, window 30485 was not far from her, just a hundred meters ahead, in the room around the corner. Zheng Wenwen stood up excitedly: "It's your turn, Hanhan, hurry up."
They came to the designated window booth. Behind the tall counter was a middle-aged female auditor, already holding their registration application forms in her hands. Gu Hanhan first checked the queue number with the system, and then realized that the slave she had just bought, Ms. Lichun, could not follow her. She quickly turned her head and saw Lichun Zhui behind, standing timidly one meter away. , he hesitated to step forward with the footprints indicating the waiting position under his feet, so he waved to her. Li Chun ran over quickly, and Gu Hanhan patted her hand comfortingly, then grabbed her arm and asked her to sit down.
Li Chun didn't want Gu Hanhan to be such a King Kong loli, who could carry a cauldron and couldn't resist at all, so she pushed her down and sat on the high stool in front of the counter. There was grass growing on her butt and she couldn't sit still without ironing. She felt that her new owner might be a lunatic. Regardless of the fact that there is only one such high chair in front of each review window, even if there are more chairs, they are not for slaves to sit on. However, Gu Hanhan failed to notice these details. She and Zheng Wenwen stood close to Li Chun, one on the left and one on the right, as confidently as if they were taken out to do errands by Ms. Li Shufen.
"That's her," Gu Hanhan pointed at Li Chun and said to the auditor, "We need to handle transaction filing and property rights change registration for her."
When the auditor looked at Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen, she felt like she was suffering from a mental illness. However, she had encountered many kinds of mental illness at the window of the trading building facing the people of the universe, so she did not take it seriously and calmly continued After glancing at them, he handed over the application form in his hand: "Check the information and sign."
Gu Hanhan looked down at the application form. The upper half was her personal identity information, and the lower half was Lichun's. Gu Hanhan's identity information was very simple. He was just an Earthling and a college student studying in Beacon Planet. The basic information was all filled in by Gu Hanhan when he submitted the application. The part involving Li Chun is complicated, not only the age, height, gender and weight, but also the gene number, chip number, transferor and other items. However, most of the grids behind these items are still gray, with no information and cannot be filled in. Only the transferor column indicates that her previous owner was "Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company", and there are a string of characters after the chip number and genetic code, showing that her gender is female and her age is 31 years old.
This surprised Gu Hanhan: "Are you 31 years old?"
"Yes...yes, Master, I am 31 years old this year." Ms. Lichun was a little nervous at first. For slaves, 31 years old is indeed a bit old, too old to be supported, and there is no need to support her anymore, but Soon she puffed up her chest and regained her confidence - yes, 31 years old is indeed a bit old. To put it bluntly, eating meat all the time may make her teeth grind. But she is 31 years old. Doesn’t 31 years old just mean that she is excellent and a good slave? In short, I, Lichun, am not the kind of wimp who wastes air and food for free!
Gu Hanhan didn't think much about it. He just said "Oh" and continued to look down. He just said casually: "Then you look quite young. I thought you were a few years older than me. It seems that you are here." Yan Youshu may not be one of those female genetic disease patients in Acropolis."
The last column of the form is Li Chun's name. This column is also blank, but can be filled in. The following explanation indicates that this column is optional and is used to apply for a slave certificate. If you do not want to apply for a slave certificate, you don’t need to fill it out.
The so-called slave ID card can also be regarded as the slave's ID card. According to Gu Hanhan's simple thinking as an earthling, the ID card is of course necessary, so she checked this item, then stopped writing and asked Li Chun: "What is the ID card used on the ID card?" What name is it? Is it still Li Chun, or if you have any other plans or ideas, tell us and we will go over them together. The name is a big deal, and it would be very troublesome to change it if you don't get it right..."
Li Chun had never seen such a slave owner in her life, and couldn't help but be speechless: "No... of course... I don't want to change my name in the future... okay..."
"Is it just Li Chun?" Gu Hanhan nodded, solemnly, and neatly filled in the word "Li Chun" in the blank space with her bad handwriting, and then signed it beautifully. Enter your name and return the application form to the auditor.
"You want to apply for a slave license? This requires an additional handling fee of 30 cosmic coins." The auditor said without raising his head, and then pointed his finger outside.
Of course, 30 cosmic coins was not a problem. Gu Hanhan paid the money with his ring, but he didn't understand what the auditor's gesture meant - after the matter was done, did it mean that they could leave? But it's obvious that they haven't gotten anything yet!
Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen looked at each other, but Li Chun had already slipped out of the chair quickly and stood at the spot where she had stood before. After being freed from the miserable situation of being sandwiched between Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen, Ms. Lichun looked much more calm. The halo covered her head and scanned her body one by one. It turned out to be a physical examination of her.
While Ms. Lichun was undergoing a physical examination, Gu Hanhan took the opportunity to chat with the auditor. "What does a slave certificate do?" she asked. "Does it prove that the person is a slave?"
"No," the auditor glanced at Gu Hanhan and said, "It is used to prove that this slave is a human being and can be protected by the law of the universe as a human being. It is nothing more than getting married, having children, practicing religion, owning property and so on - Of course, it must be with the permission of their master. If you plan to ask the slaves to go out alone to do things, it may be useful. Slaves who go out alone must have an identity certificate, otherwise they will not be able to buy spaceship tickets-"
But she went on to say: "But I personally think it's not really useful, but rather troublesome. It's just a formal thing. Slaves without certificates can still go out to work alone, as long as they bring a power of attorney from their master. And they can If you live in a cage and eat second-hand food, if you are on a spaceship, you only need to buy a luggage check-in ticket. But if you only bring this certificate, you have to buy a cabin ticket..."
