Starships of All Realms Online

Chapter 65: The Immigration Wave, a Dramatic Plot

Today is the official day for Xingchen Group to accept immigrants. The previously prepared office is ready, and a long queue has formed outside.

Fang Heng was also on the moon, keeping an eye on the situation.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people?"

Fang Heng was somewhat surprised by the situation at the immigration office. He had thought that such a thing would be difficult, since everyone has a strong attachment to their homeland, so in his mind, this was a long-term task.

But now it seems that there are many people who want to go out and try their luck.

After seeing this, Fang Heng thought about it carefully and quickly understood.

There are reasons why it's so popular.

The first point is the route to go abroad.

Generally speaking, going abroad is a high-cost process, with airfare and expenses incurred after arriving in a foreign country being reasons for many people to worry.

Now, the expenses of these immigrants are fully reimbursed by the Star Group, so they don't have to spend any money. They can also get housing and land when they arrive at their destination. I believe many people will go out and try their luck.

The second point is the language environment.

Within the area controlled by Fang Heng, the official language is Mandarin, so there is no language barrier when traveling to the Star Group.

As for the locals, in recent years, the aversion of the people of Dongda University to these farming tools has been increasing. After learning that the boss of Xingchen Group also rejected these farming tools, many people understood the underlying reasons for immigration. Therefore, they also understood what was going on with this immigration campaign online, and naturally more people signed up.

Most importantly, the Star Group's military strength is even greater than that of Dongda University now, and it has the ability to protect its assets. Therefore, the security in the areas controlled by the Star Group is currently very good.

These factors combined have created the current bustling scene.

Although there were many people, they were all carefully selected individuals with excellent personal qualities, so apart from whispering among themselves, the line was very neat.

The immigration process was quick and mostly without any problems, but there were a few minor hiccups along the way, such as a case of someone impersonating another person at one of the service points.

"Sir, your information does not match the system. Please bring the real immigrants here. I have reason to believe that you are the one who is detaining the immigrants."

After a young man entered, the staff quickly detected data anomalies during the scan, and two cloned security guards immediately stepped forward and blocked his path.

"You must have made a mistake. I am Jiang Chen, there is no mistake."

"Sir, please don't joke around. Our database not only compares facial features but also biological DNA. Although you have altered your appearance, if the biological information doesn't match, you are not the person you are."

Seeing that the counterfeiters still refused to admit it, the staff on site stopped arguing and directly requested information support.

Soon, the real Jiang Chen was located. Upon seeing his location, the backup security forces immediately set off for the destination.

Security personnel arrived at the scene quickly. It was an abandoned, unfinished building, and biosignals indicated that Jiang Chen was located there.

As the security personnel began their search, Jiang Chen, who was being held captive there, immediately heard the commotion outside and began to struggle, making faint noises.

An ordinary person would definitely ignore such a sound.

However, these security guards were all enhanced clones with extremely strong senses. They immediately locked onto the location and went directly to the place where Jiang Chen was imprisoned.

"Bang!"

As the abandoned gate was kicked open, Jiang Chen saw the burly man enter and, unable to hold on any longer, fainted.

Before he passed out, he heard what these burly men were saying.

"Report to the captain, the S-level personnel has been identified. They are in a state of mild malnutrition and the Level 1 response procedure has been activated. They are being transported to the designated medical point."

Seeing that Jiang Chen was unconscious, the people present immediately sent him to the medical point.

"Ethan, what's the deal with this S-class personnel?"

Because he hadn't paid much attention, Fang Heng was also curious about the situation of this suddenly appearing S-class personnel.

"Commander, regarding this immigration, I have categorized all those preparing to immigrate within the system, with C being the lowest and S the highest, just like the talent selection mechanism."

"So, Jiang Chen is a talent with S-level potential?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Shouldn't we be paying close attention to someone like this? How could they be imprisoned here?"

"Commander, our focus is only on the immigrants. Just three days ago, Jiang Chen applied to withdraw from this immigration program online, so we haven't paid any more attention to him. After all, S-level potential does not equate to S-level strength."

However, the appearance of the substitute triggered an alarm, alerting the on-site staff who then requested location tracking, which led them to discover Jiang Chen's situation.

"I see. It seems there's some dramatic stuff going on here. By the way, who was the person who took the place? Is they related to Jiang Chen?"

"Yes, the person who took the place is called Jiang Hao. He is the adopted son of Jiang Chen's family. He was adopted 20 years ago, while Jiang Chen was the biological child who was switched at birth and was only taken away a year ago."

A week ago, Jiang Hao orchestrated a kidnapping, taking both of them to a hostage and forcing the Jiang family to choose one of them. In the end, Jiang Hao was chosen, while Jiang Chen was left to fend for himself in an unfinished building.

Later, the Jiang family sensed something was wrong and investigated, discovering Jiang Hao's secret. They were furious and wanted to make Jiang Hao pay the price. However, Jiang Hao seized the opportunity to escape, intending to find a way to leave Dongda University. After all, he had obtained a large amount of money from the Jiang family over the years, and leaving Dongda University would be enough for him to live a life of comfort.

"This plot feels so much like a female-oriented novel, but this is a male-oriented novel."

"Commander, according to the novel's plot, without us, Jiang Chen's final fate would be to starve to death here, and Jiang Hao would also escape from Dongda. However, coincidentally, Jiang Hao discovered Jiang Chen's immigration application, and looking at his own appearance, he found that he looked very similar to Jiang Chen. After learning about our situation, he prepared to take Jiang Chen's identity and go to Black Continent."

As a result, we discovered them and rescued Jiang Chen.

"That's really quite dramatic."

"By the way, what kind of talent does Jiang Chen possess?"

"Commander, Jiang Chen is an all-around talent."

"An all-rounder, you read that right?"

"Yes, Commander. Although Jiang Chen is currently only rated S-rank, that's because he hasn't pursued further education and has only been in university for a short time, so his knowledge base is insufficient."

However, after completing the test, we discovered that he has a high degree of aptitude for multiple subjects, and if he is trained according to the program, he has a high chance of becoming an SS-level talent.

"Are you just going to let such talent go to waste?"

"Commander, your original order was to abide by the laws of the University of Tokyo, and the privacy of citizens' information is also within the scope of the University of Tokyo's laws, so we cannot monitor Jiang Chen's situation 24 hours a day, which is why we were able to exploit the loophole."

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Fang Heng suddenly remembered that when he signed the agreement with Dongda University, there was indeed such a clause in it, and he had mentioned it. He didn't expect it to be seriously implemented.

"Never mind, this was my oversight. Now, update the instructions. Pay special attention to personnel at the S-level and above. This includes not only the S-level personnel themselves, but also their families, friends, disciples, and mentors. We've also reviewed their networks and identified key individuals to monitor, to prevent this from happening again."

"Yes, Commander."

Upon receiving Fang Heng's order, Ethan immediately changed the system settings, triggering alarms in multiple offices in an instant.

As security personnel moved in, several potential S-level special talents were rescued and sent to designated medical facilities.

"It's true, reality is even more dramatic than fiction. I thought those stories in female-oriented novels were just made up, but I didn't expect them to be so realistic."

Looking at the information in his hand, Fang Heng felt his blood pressure rise a bit. The people who were rescued were basically involved in the struggle between adopted sons and biological sons, or love triangles, the return of the white moonlight, and so on. Fang Heng wanted to grab them and give them a good beating.

"Forget it, I can't get angry, I can't get angry. At least no S-class talents were ruined, thank goodness."

After calming down, Fang Heng stopped worrying about it; if he continued, he felt he would have a stroke.

Continuing to review the personnel information provided by Ethan, Fang Heng also discovered that Dongda University truly has a wealth of talent, which explains its rapid development in recent years.

The majority of this group of immigrants are around 10, with Category C individuals making up the majority. These are individuals with a college degree or above, a clean background, and no criminal record within three generations. This category comprises approximately 7 people.

Although it's similar to a political background check, this refers to a situation where there is no criminal record within three generations, and does not include situations where there is no illegal activity.

At the University of Tokyo, although people often talk about breaking the law and committing crimes, breaking the law and committing crimes are actually two different things.

Illegal activities generally refer to situations that violate legal prohibitions. Most of these are illegal acts that do not meet the standards for criminal prosecution, such as PC, DB, etc.

A crime refers to an illegal act that violates criminal law.

Category B personnel are fewer, but still number around 3. These are all undergraduates, and apart from a small number of recent college graduates, the rest are those who were laid off after the age of 35.

Category A has far fewer people, only a few thousand. These people all have postgraduate degrees and have experience in several projects, making them rare talents.

Most importantly, they are S-level talents, none of whom have graduated yet; they are all current university students.

And coincidentally, these people are all normal people who are bullied in those melodramatic storylines, and there are only 10 of them.

Jiang Chen's ability is the highest, and the rest are not bad either, each with extremely strong talent in a certain area.

After reviewing the information, Fang Heng couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for these melodramatic events, these people probably wouldn't have chosen Xingchen Group.

The 10 people who immigrated this time are only the main group. Most of those who chose to immigrate brought their families with them, either a couple with children or a son bringing his parents to immigrate.

After choosing to immigrate, these people cannot take their properties with them; the government will directly reclaim them.

Because these items will be redistributed after they arrive at the Star Group.

This is also a necessary option after choosing to immigrate: either give up your real estate in Tokyo and choose to immigrate, or stay in your home country with peace of mind.

This is also a strict requirement of the University of Tokyo.

Of course, this also refers to real estate. As for deposits, they will be converted into credit points, which is the internal currency of the Star Group and the mainstream currency in the currently controlled area. It is also a legal currency recognized by the five major philanthropists internationally.

Fang Heng expressed his understanding, after all, his current actions were tantamount to poaching students from Dongda University. If there were no restrictions, these people would flock over, causing some turmoil at Dongda University.

Stability is paramount, so after this mandatory regulation was introduced, far fewer people chose to immigrate, and those who did were mostly people with lower incomes.

The most vehement reaction came from the people's entrepreneurs, because without these grassroots laborers, their labor costs were rapidly increasing, which was tantamount to taking money out of their pockets, and this was intolerable.

However, Dongda University also noticed this trend and chose to take drastic measures, forcing these entrepreneurs to change; if they did not change, they would be eliminated.

Therefore, after immigrating, many people analyzed this situation online, greatly admiring the official's decisiveness and expressing gratitude to those who went abroad.

After all, without them, we wouldn't have the improved treatment we have today.

Fang Heng smiled when he saw it.

The most fundamental reason is that the University of Tokyo has now become the most powerful country in the world, and the siphon effect is causing the world's wealth to gather in the safe haven of the University of Tokyo.

As real capitalists entered the market, these entrepreneurs with landlord mentality had no choice but to change.

After all, in the eyes of capitalists, as long as you create profits for me, that's all that matters. Whether you're lazy or hardworking, they don't care too much.

The queue at the immigration point continued. As the first batch of people finished registering, the waiting buses carried them to the pier.

Everyone gasped in amazement upon seeing the enormous passenger ship.

Many people have never been to the seaside, so they don't have a direct impression of the size of ships. Now, seeing such a huge passenger ship, they are all very impressed.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone passed through the security checkpoint in an orderly manner and boarded the passenger ship.

After receiving their room keys, these people are about to embark on a new journey.

Everyone was filled with anticipation for their future, while Fang Heng headed to a new location: the interstellar dock.
