"No wonder you're Brother Zheng, you have such a sharp eye for people."

Brother Pai laughed.

"Don't speak yet, let me speak first."

Liu Zheng said.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

"I have a friend from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains who wants to help it get citizenship."

He said.

"Do its parents have citizenship?"

Brother Pai asked.

"No idea, it's an orphan with only a master, who is basically dead now."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Then that's tricky; at least one parent needs to be a second-class citizen or higher for it to be more manageable."

Brother Pai said.

Citizen Level is one of the most fundamental systems in Metropolis, even with Brother Pai's status, there needs to be a reasonable explanation.

"By the way, its species is the Iron-eating Beast."

Liu Zheng added.

"Iron-eating Beast? Never heard of it."

Brother Pai shook his head.

"How about Panda?"

"Also never heard of it."

Brother Pai still shook his head.

"If you haven't heard of it either, doesn't that mean it's a very rare species? Could we start from that angle?"

He used reverse thinking.

"You're not wrong. I heard from a colleague in the Household Registration Department that there seems to be preferential policies for rare species. Hold on, I'll ask someone from the Household Registration Department."

Brother Pai hung up the phone after speaking.

After a while, he called back.

"I asked, and they said you could get a rare species certificate from the Biology Administration Bureau, then use it to register with us. Depending on how rare it is, you can get up to first-class citizenship, at least up to third-class."

Brother Pai said.

In Metropolis, species and race are not the same thing.

Only species where the majority of members can naturally develop intelligence are classified as a race.

"So I need to get a certificate from the Biology Administration Bureau?"

"That's right, as long as you can get that certificate, I'm serious, I'll handle everything after that."

Brother Pai emphasized.

"Alright. Okay, Brother Pai, your turn, what do you need my help with?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Hehehe..."

Brother Pai didn't speak, just laughed awkwardly.

"Brother Pai, can you stop laughing? You're giving me goosebumps."

He shivered.

"Well, I heard from the nightingale that Brother Zheng, you're really good with girls?"

Brother Pai finally spoke.

"Nonsense, don't listen to her nonsense, I'm pure and devoted to my work, I never pick up girls."

Liu Zheng denied vehemently.

"I get it, Brother Zheng, you don't pick up girls; girls pick you up."

Brother Pai winked on the other end of the phone.

"That's someone else's business, I can't stop it. No, Brother Pai, why are you bringing this up?"

He was confused.

Brother Pai was previously distressed about his family pressuring him for blind dates, why is he now talking about picking up girls?

And with his status, does he need someone to teach him to pick up girls? He just needs to speak up, right?

"Wait a second."

Liu Zheng had a bad feeling.

"You're not asking me to help you pick up girls, are you?"

"More or less. Wait, why did you say 'also'?"

Brother Pai was puzzled.

"It's nothing. So who is it? A blind date your family set up for you?"

He asked.

"No, no, it's a galgame I recently bought. Brother Zheng, you know what a galgame is, right?"

"I know, it's a game with many dialogue options, and the story changes based on player choices, ultimately aiming to unlock all the saucy content."

Liu Zheng replied.

He had played some before, but he was a maverick among galgame players.

Whenever possible, he would avoid triggering any saucy scenes and keep the protagonist a virgin.

As for the saucy scenes, he'd just download a full CG save after finishing and view it then.

"Right, right, Brother Zheng, you're really my soulmate."

Brother Pai said emotionally.

It wasn't easy; with his status, the people he often interacted with didn't play galgames because they were always acting as bridegrooms or could afford it, finding like-minded people was almost impossible.

Online, Brother Pai was worried the other party might have ulterior motives, as there had been such cases before.

Now, he finally met Liu Zheng, who not only understood galgames but also didn't have ulterior motives.

"Well... actually, I haven't played many galgames."

Liu Zheng tried to justify himself.

"I understand, it's like practicing magic, you need talent. A genius like Brother Zheng is just like my father, who only took a few magic crash courses to become a Travel Mage, while you only need to play a few games to become a galgame master."

Brother Pai said with admiration.

"You understand nothing..."

He was too tired to complain.

Liu Zheng, a delivery guy, had no right to be compared to Brother Pai's dad.

Brother Pai's dad took magic crash courses to become a Travel Mage; he spent big money on a guaranteed pass English level four course but still had to take it twice to pass.

"Brother Zheng, please help me this once. I won't die peacefully without Yumiko's love!!!"

Brother Pai wailed, his voice so miserable that anyone who heard it would be moved to tears.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing. When and where do you want to play?"

Liu Zheng couldn't take it anymore.

"Any time, any place, I'll bring the console to you."

Brother Pai said immediately.

"Then let's meet at the clinic, I'll call you when I'm free. Oh, and this time, don't provoke the Sphinx."

He reminded him.

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, as long as you help me finish the game, I'll even bark like a dog if that's what it takes."

Brother Pai promised.

"Forget it, you might dare to bark, but it wouldn't dare to listen."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

God knows if Brother Pai's Travel Mage dad planted surveillance on him; if he came back and found his foolish son barking like a dog, Brother Pai would certainly suffer, and everyone else who knew would be out of luck too.
