back the Whirlwind."As soon as she finished speaking, a man fell into the gazebo. Mei Zhi jumped in fright, and Fang Cao and the other maidservants were also startled.Mei Zhi immediately stepped in f...But these people were also savvy, after all, this wasn't their turf. If they really wanted to cause trouble, they'd wait until they got back to their own territory. So they all sat there with sullen faces.

As time passed, those who needed to transfer ships were the first to be screened out, leaving a third of the group. Two hours later, Lance released half of the remaining people. Those left were those who had direct contact with the four individuals, including Ripples.

But because Ripple was the only one who had just come of age (the ship arrived on the day Ripple turned thirty, meaning she officially became an adult), she was the first to be asked.

When ripples were brought to the solitary office, she nervously clutched her handbag and maintained a composed expression on her face.

Ms. He Lianyi came from Planet W by spaceship to Planet Lante, and she was alone.

A female officer tapped the light screen of her neural implant while reciting aloud.

While Officer Langs sat on a chair, arms crossed, silently sizing her up ever since Ripples had entered.

Yes, officer.

Ripple nodded.

"Do you know this person"

The female officer pulled up a photo of that employee.

After a glance, Lian Yi nodded in agreement:

"He's the staff member who worked in economy class on my flight."

According to our investigation, he has contacted you twice.

"Sounds like it! He seems to take good care of me."

The ripples joyfully acknowledge.

Do you remember what he said to you both times

"Nothing special, he asked me if I was hungry and I said no. After a while, he came to find me again and said there was a buffet in first class, inviting me to eat. He said because I was underage, it was free."

I was a little embarrassed, so I thanked him but didn't go with him. After that, I never saw him again.

Most of what Lian Yi said is true, only the last sentence is a lie.

The female officer nodded at Lance after hearing this, indicating that what Ripples said matched the surveillance footage.

Lans suddenly spoke:

"Why is he so caring towards you"

"Because I was underage before boarding the spaceship, Officer Silas and they communicated to have them look after me a little more."

The ripples answered truthfully.

"Is Slanor your relative"

"No, he's the one in charge of investigating the break-in at my house."

"Home invasion"

"Yes."

"What was taken"

"The Cultivation Chamber."

"Why are you taking things from my house"

“I am an orphan, both my parents died on the battlefield, so the government has given me some benefits. I scrimped and saved to order the latest cultivation chamber, I guess that's how I got targeted. On the first night it arrived, someone broke into my house.”

"I'm sorry."

Lans retracted his piercing gaze and said.

"It's alright, I've long accepted reality."

"So, what brought you to the planet of Rent"

Lance continued, but this time his tone was much better.

“Because the home robbery case remains unsolved, for safety reasons, Officer Silas recommended that I temporarily not live at my original place.”

I thought, since things were like this, I might as well stay on Rent Planet temporarily and wait for the first Academy's entrance exam in three months. If I passed, I would go to school. If I didn't, I would settle down on Rent Planet.

Ripples has arranged its own future clearly and transparently.

"Thank you for your help. Someone from the Social Welfare Department will take you to handle the relevant procedures."

Thank you, officer.

Ripple left the spaceship docks smoothly and then took a levitating bus to the Lanterix Welfare Bureau on her home planet. She submitted her proof of coming of age and stated her request.

"Miss Ripple, do you choose the affordable apartment or the independent courtyard"

"I think it's better to choose a small courtyard to learn how to grow plants."

"Okay, first choose a courtyard. This is a distribution map. The red ones are occupied, and the green ones are vacant."

The welfare officer's little sister patiently explained.

Ripples chose a relatively secluded small courtyard at random. The young lady immediately reminded,

"This place is farther away from the main road, you should consider safety issues living here alone."

But my Federal currency isn't enough, so I can only afford such a small yard.

The ripples blushed and said.

After all, on the surface, she was raised with government assistance, and she only had a compensation payout and some federal credits she earned on the network.

The little sister was also a bit embarrassed. Just then, she received a message on her office equipment. After reading it, she smiled and said to Ripples:

"I just checked, your birthdate is today, correct But you were born at 6 PM, and it's still an hour away, so you are still underage. According to the Galactic Union Treaty, you can rent a small yard for free for a year. After the one-year contract expires, you will have to pay to rent the small yard."

"Really That's great!"

Ripple expressed his surprise and bowed to the young lady before cheerfully completing the rental procedures.

After leaving the Social Welfare Office, Ripples took a levitating bus to a small courtyard chosen by her elder sister. It was said that there were people living next door and the land was relatively fertile, which was very friendly to her as a novice grower.

As expected, after an hour's drive, we arrived at the courtyard that Ripple had chosen. Looking around, this entire area was made up of individual farmhouses scattered across the black soil in a pleasingly haphazard manner.

The ripples used the smart brain bracelet to unlock the gate of the new courtyard, then slung her bag and went in. She let Xiao Liu take over the overall defense of the courtyard before entering the two-story building.

"Ripples, you've been monitored!"

Little Six said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I know, it must have been Officer Lance who did this, and he also allowed me to rent this small yard for free."

Liàn Yī while touring the small building, communicated with Xiǎo Liù.

"Bullseye! How did you know"

Little Six asked curiously.

"My place is too remote, making it hard for them to monitor me. If they suddenly arranged someone near me, I'd definitely notice, so he messaged that girl."

Before I looked, the little sister was still very embarrassed. After reading the message, she made up that reason and gave me the yard for free.

The ripples had already gone up to the second floor and were smiling as they explained things to Little Six.

"Well! When it comes to reading between the lines, I'm still lacking. It was only after I infiltrated the Welfare Department's system that I learned about this. You deduced it all on your own, and I'll keep working hard at it."

Little Six said seriously.

"Is that Lance a beastman"

"Yes."

What is his beast form

The ripples held a touch of curiosity.

"Wait for me to check it out."

As a personal AI, he certainly needs to play his part.

Half an hour later, the ripples got their answer.

"After transforming, Lance becomes a gray wolf with extraordinary combat power. He excels particularly in tracking down criminals; to this day, no criminal has ever escaped him. You should be careful."

"I understand."

On the other side, Officer Lance was reviewing all of Ripple's data using his own neural network.ousness you mentioned who steals the luck of others."The original person should have been the one to influence Li Gang's development, which is why they chose him. After all, the proximity gives them a...
