Although middle-aged people are not part of the Sequence, living in a Numbered Protection Zone, or having residency rights, is enough to make those in the Safe Zone envious, even if they are ordinary individuals. It's similar to how people from lesser-known cities yearn for the Big City.
The same goes for the Year of the Sequence. The higher a Safe Zone ranks, the greater its safety and happiness quotient, making it a desirable place for others in Safe Zones and even for the Sequence.
No, I am not from a Numbered Protection Zone.
Then how do you know Captain Luo Zhenxue?
If someone becomes famous in such a large Safe Zone, others in different Safe Zones must have heard of them too.
That's true; our Captain Luo Zhenxue is quite impressive, a young man said proudly.
Luo Zhenxue is a member of the Sequence who emerged from the Safe Zone, and as residents of that Safe Zone, they all take pride in it. Because of this, they tend to look down on other "useless keys" even more than they do on Yelai, believing that Yelai does not deserve Luo Zhenxue.
He is indeed impressive.
The middle-aged man agreed and glanced at the time before rising with the help of his cane.
It's getting late; I've asked my friend to settle your bill, so I'll be leaving now.
Alright, goodbye, uncle.
The young man waved his hand but called out to the middle-aged man before he could walk far.
Uncle, wait a moment.
What is it?
Here’s an address for you.
The young man looked at the middle-aged man's leg and pointed out an address on his phone:
If you want to treat your leg, you can go to this address. It's an old Chinese medicine practitioner I know; he's a relative of mine. If you decide to go for treatment, just mention my name—I'm Tian Yu—and you might get a discount on the fees.
Thank you, young man. By the way, my name is Xu Limin.
The young man introduced himself in return, and the middle-aged man responded politely but quickly changed the subject.
Actually, rather than this address you gave me, I’m more curious if you know Yelai's address.
"Yeah, I know Yelai's address. There's nothing we don't know about the Safe Zone."
The young man thought middle-aged people were just another group of onlookers. Since Yelai's home address was common knowledge, he casually shared it with the middle-aged man.
"Thanks, kid."
"You're welcome."
The young man waved his hand and returned to his seat.
"What did you say to that old guy? You weren't trying to make connections with him for the Frontline Protection Zone, were you?"
"It's not impossible. Even though he claims to be an ordinary person, I noticed he had two people standing next to him who didn't look like friends at all. They seemed more like bodyguards."
"I think so too. What ordinary person can afford bodyguards? He must be a Tycoon."
"Being in the Frontline Protection Zone means even if he's just an ordinary person, he definitely has connections. Getting a residence permit wouldn't be hard for him."
"I actually think he's a Tycoon as well. I feel like I've seen that old guy somewhere before, probably in some newspaper."
"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You didn't ask."
"Well, now I don't even know how to respond. But if he's in the newspaper, he must either be wealthy or powerful."
The companions exchanged their thoughts one after another.
The young man rolled his eyes. "What are you all thinking? I was just introducing my uncle to that old guy."
He then recounted the entire conversation he had with the middle-aged man.
"Oh, so that's how it is," one companion continued. "You really—"
Suddenly, another companion shouted from beside them.
"My God! I remember who he is! That's why I felt like I'd seen him somewhere!"
Before the young man could ask anything, the companion grabbed his shoulder eagerly.
"Tian Yu," you just mentioned that the uncle's name was what?
"Xu Limin," it seems to be that name.
Tian Yu understood that his companion wanted to confirm if he had heard the name before, and immediately responded, "What's wrong? You said you've seen him. Where? It can't be from the newspaper, right?"
At that moment, everyone noticed that when the middle-aged man's name was confirmed as Xu Limin, his companion's mouth dropped wide open.
Then, with wide eyes, the companion looked at them and said, "It's not from the newspaper; it's from Sequence Weekly! It's him, Xu Limin! The one who has appeared multiple times in Sequence Weekly!"
Seeing Tian Yu and the others still looking confused, the companion anxiously explained, "It's that guy! He invented several things comparable to Secret Artifacts, like Sequence Handcuffs and Sequence Motorcycle. He's from Sequence University, Xu Limin!"
