The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Chapter 70: The Simple and Honest Life of Capricorn

As it turns out, Capricorn taxis are not safe.

While Ji Chen was resting with his eyes closed, the taxi drove into a secluded corner.

The driver also glanced at Ji Chen's expression through the rearview mirror.

"parking!"

Ji Chen quickly realized that something was wrong.

The driver remained silent, simply flooring the accelerator and continuing to speed towards the corner.

Just as Ji Chen was about to make a move, the seatbelt he had fastened suddenly tightened, firmly fixing his body to the seat.

"Knock on! They're even allowing illegal modifications to vehicles!"

Ji Chen almost laughed out of anger. The people on the new planet were indeed simple and honest. They taught him a lesson as soon as he arrived.

Despite the city's appearance being identical to that of its previous existence, it is, inside and out, a sinful metropolis with a death rate as high as 10%.

"Kid! You just came from an old planet, right? Judging by your appearance, you must still be a student. Quickly hand over the resettlement fee you received from the Federation, or I can't guarantee you won't be missing a part."

By this time, the taxi had stopped in a deserted area, and the driver, no longer restrained, revealed a ferocious expression.

The driver could tell from Ji Chen's fair skin and tender flesh that the kid hadn't been injected with the gene serum yet, making him a sure-fire fat sheep.

In addition, the Federation will provide settlement fees for students coming to the new planet, which will be enough to make him eat his fill.

Ji Chen's expression darkened slightly, but he showed no sign of panic.

Previously, the airport was crowded and confusing, making it difficult for him to directly absorb 'Lu Xiao'. This driver brought him here, which solved a problem for him.

"You'd better abandon your dangerous idea, otherwise..."

Before Ji Chen could finish speaking, the driver interrupted him, laughing loudly:

"Otherwise what? Kid, have you gone mad from playing games? You're addicted to pretending to be Jiahao, aren't you? You don't actually think you're that capable, do you?"

Ji Chen was too lazy to waste words. With the driver so arrogant, he figured that Capricorn's supervision was practically nonexistent, so he immediately became less restrained.

With a thought, the essence energy from 'Lu Xiao' instantly flowed into Ji Chen's crown chakra within the dimensional space, and then seamlessly merged with Ji Chen.

Um!!!

The driver's expression changed drastically. The gene serum granted him enhanced perception, allowing him to instantly sense that the aura of the boy he had mocked had suddenly surged.

It had reached a point where his life was in danger.

The driver swallowed hard. "Brother, I was just joking with you earlier. Just a heads-up..."

In a daze, a burst of lightning exploded before the driver's eyes, jolting him awake, and all words were choked off.

By the time he realized what was happening, a large hole had been torn in his chest.

Behind him, Ji Chen casually crushed the driver's heart.

"He...he's actually a superhuman..."

Even with a lost heart, the powerful life force granted by the gene serum kept the driver clinging to his last breath.

However, this kind of injury is fatal unless the patient is transported to a nano-biological repair center within a minute.

But... Capricorn's nano-repair technology is far beyond his reach.

The driver gave a bitter smile, resigned himself to his fate, and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Ji Chen shook the blood off his hands, and the blood immediately fell off, restoring his palms to their crystal-clear, jade-like state.

This was the first time he had killed someone from his own perspective, yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever; it was no different from killing someone in the anti-Qing world.

After glancing at the driver lying in a pool of blood, and the foam and latex from the bursting back seat where he had violently broken free, Ji Chen quickly cleaned up his own traces.

Then, taking his luggage, he set the car on fire.

He killed someone on his very first day in Capricorn. That's something else.

Ji Chen shook his head, not minding the trouble, picked up his suitcase, identified the direction, and sprinted towards his villa with his long legs.

boom!!

Amid the explosion, Ji Chen had already run three kilometers away.

Fortunately, the phone issued by the federal government had map software, which saved him from the trouble of being directionally challenged.

Running also allowed Ji Chen to experience a different place.

Compared to 'Lu Xiao', his own body, after fusion, was stronger and faster.

"It really was a seamless fusion. Combined with my previous physique, I am now about 10% stronger than 'Lu Xiao'."

Ji Chen was in high spirits. The practical experience had verified the Dimensional Demon's abilities, which gave him even more confidence in the future.

Ever since he learned more about the Federation from the starship, he had felt a sense of unease.

The Federation is full of geniuses and prodigies, and some of the geniuses who have awakened top-level superpowers are cultivating superpower systems as if they have cheated. What do they have to compare with others?

Having been given a second chance at life and possessing some impressive advantages, he certainly didn't want to be relegated to a supporting role.

Fortunately, his cheat ability was powerful, or perhaps his innate talent as a dimensional demon was strong enough, which rekindled his ambition to stand at the top of the Federation.

Half an hour later, Ji Chen appeared in front of his villa.

It's called a villa, but it's only about the size of a farmhouse courtyard. It's a three-story building that covers an area of ​​over 200 square meters.

After his identity was verified by the robot, Ji Chen successfully entered.

He wasn't dissatisfied; compared to other immigrants, this was already extremely preferential treatment.

The building has a small courtyard, and with the guard robot at the entrance, privacy and security are well guaranteed.

At least there's no need to worry about petty thieves coming to steal things after he goes to the academy.

The guard robot is covered in weapon modules and wears a tight black armor. On the chest of the armor is an energy core that flashes with blue light.

According to the description, the guardian robots could originally rely on solar energy to convert energy for their movement, but now, due to the thunderstorms covering the sky of Capricorn, they are unable to absorb solar energy and can only use two other charging methods as alternatives.

First, replace the energy core; one core is enough to keep the guarding robot active for three months.

But the price...

"Damn! You're selling me an energy core for 270,000! All my possessions right now amount to only 316,842 star coins. Buying just one would leave me starving!"

Ji Chen cursed inwardly, for this money was all earned through hard work doing odd jobs before he awakened his memories.

This also includes the $150,000 resettlement allowance provided by the immigrant subsidy.

Ji Chen chose the second option without hesitation: charging!

That's right, robots in interstellar societies can also be charged to maintain their energy.

However, the power consumption is equally alarming, requiring over 600 kilowatt-hours per day.

Currently, electricity is scarce on Capricorn Star, with the price of one kilowatt-hour exceeding one yuan. Based on this calculation, he would have to spend nearly 20,000 star yuan on the guard robots every month.

Moreover, replenishing energy by charging will deplete the robot's potential and affect its lifespan.

However, it was all worth it for Ji Chen; he was only focused on the present.

With another six months, he is confident that he can reach the combat power of a Samsung superhuman. At that time, the guard robots will naturally become useless.

"It's a pity that Red Cloud Star doesn't allow the sale of houses, otherwise I would have sold the house that my parents left me before they died in this life, and I could have replaced the energy core whenever I wanted."

Thinking of the house left on Hongyun Star, Ji Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, currency circulation is unrestricted across the various star systems of the Federation.

Even if he's in Capricorn, he can still receive rental income from the house from the relevant federal commissioning agency.
