He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 176 It's you, Section Chief?
Lidel explained, "Yes. Temporary operators are rewarded on a per-mission basis."

"Special agents are paid. Not only do they receive extra rewards for each mission, but they also receive a fixed daily wage."

Li Ji's eyes lit up: "How much per day?"

"20 Alliance Coins per day."

A daily wage of 20 exceeds that of most interstellar workers, and it's a base salary with no performance obligations, meaning you can receive it even if you don't do any work.

However, this salary is still far from enough to cover his debts.

Li Ji suddenly had an idea.

"If I went to a planet with a very slow rotation speed, time would pass faster because of the fast rotation speed."

"Since each day is shorter relative to the main star's frame of reference, could the money be distributed more quickly?"

Lidel's six eyes were tightly folded.

"How could you come up with such a crazy idea? The days are calculated according to time zones. That is, according to the main star of your star system."

"This is so unfair! My lifespan is definitely slipping away faster."

"If you look at it from another angle, wouldn't you be in luck if you lived on a planet where time moves slower?"

Li Ji was shocked; he had no idea such a thing existed.

He envisions a binary star system where one works on a planet with high wages and low rotation speed, and rents a place on a planet with low prices and high rotation speed.

I worked at the company for three months, and only spent three days renting a place, which saved me a lot of money.

It's necessary to put it into practice; I'll go look at houses in a couple of days.

"Thank you for the advice. I feel like you're my uncle now, and I feel especially close to you."

Lee Ki was still very grateful to the other party, whether it was recommending him to become a special agent or securing equipment for him during the last Fukushima mission.

The other person has always taken good care of me; he really feels like a good uncle.

Lidel revealed a kind look in his eyes: "Although we Barbaradus have no relatives, we treat each other as family wherever we go."

"Let me continue talking about benefits. The bureau will purchase personal accident insurance for its officers, so if you are injured or killed during a mission, you will receive corresponding compensation."

"It can basically cover the cost of treatment."

Li Ji still needs the compensation for his injury.

What's the use of death compensation?

Do you burn paper money?

That's not environmentally friendly either.

"Can it cover the cost of resurrection?"

Lidel paused for a moment, then spoke again after clearly considering the matter: "We don't have the technology to revive people yet, do we?"

"Exactly! If I, a cultured organism, die, who will benefit?"

"Good question. You can refer to mine; I filled in my supervisor."

"I'll refer to you and fill in my boss's information, isn't that you?"

"Yes."

"I reject."

"Don't you treat me like your uncle?"

"They're distant relatives, not that close."

"That's a pity."

What are you regretting?

A short while later, the door opened and someone came in.

"Lidel, it's been a long time!"

A delicate and familiar voice came from the doorway.

Li Ji looked in the direction of the sound, but saw no one at all.

He squinted and looked closely, and saw a mouse spinning in mid-air before landing lightly on the ground.

It has a long tail, big ears, a pink nose, and white front teeth.

Isn't this the real estate agent, Rat 30,000, who was just on the Star Bus?

Why is he here?
Li De'er raised his pointed beak high and immediately went to greet him: "Section Chief, you've arrived so early."

Section chief?

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Li Ji's head.

Is the real estate agent on the bus the head of the Department of Primitive Civilization Reactions?
impossible!
It must be because all the rat-people look similar that they mistake one for the other, just like how Delulu can't tell the faces of Earthlings.

While the two were having a polite conversation, Li Ji also went over to say hello.

"Hello, Chief."

Mouse's eyes lit up, and he pointed. "Hey buddy, you're here too! What a coincidence!"

"what?"

You're that real estate agent!

No, impossible.

It must be that my superiors are testing whether I am an upright and honest person, using shady intermediaries to measure my bottom line.

Fortunately, I didn't show any interest at the time.

Li De'er looked surprised: "You two know each other?"

"I know him; he's a potential client of mine. Dude, got a promotion and a raise? Aren't you planning to buy a new house?"

Shu Sanwan trotted over to Li Ji and nudged his tentacles with his elbow.

"We're from the same system, I can give you a discount."

"They also offer door-to-door cleaning and special services."

"Little Mouse Girl is awesome."

Looking at him like this, Li Ji knew that the little mouse girl they were thinking of must be slightly different in appearance.

"Boss, please stop joking with me."

"I'm not joking, I'm very serious."

Li Ji turned one eye to look at Li De'er, seeking help.

"The section chief was not joking; I rented my house from him."

"what?"

Shu Sanwan lightly tapped the small communicator on his wrist, and a holographic projection appeared.

Inside was a square house with a one-way floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window was a golden river, its water still bubbling.

"This apartment has the same layout as Li De'er's; it's a river view apartment with the Sulfur River right outside."

“I specifically installed ventilation to fill the whole house with the aroma of sulfur.”

Li Ji became increasingly confused. Sulfur must smell pungent, right? Where was the fragrance?

To everyone's surprise, Li De'er looked delighted: "That's right. The smell of sulfur every day has improved my sleep a lot."

Li Ji now strongly suspects that the two are engaging in bribery in disguise.

Rat Sanwan raised his thin eyebrows: "How about it? Want to get one?"

"I also want to change, but I don't have that much money right now."

"It's okay, once you get your salary, I'll take you to see the model apartment. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"no problem."

Soon, several more agents arrived, and Section Chief Rat Sanwan went to promote the new house to them.

Li Jicai was able to pull Li De'er to a corner.

"I always thought you were the section chief?"

"I never said I was a section chief!"

"So what exactly is your position? Are you a deputy section chief?"

"no."

Li Ji felt increasingly uneasy and finally voiced his suspicions: "You're not just an ordinary officer without an official rank, are you?"

Li De'er looked completely innocent: "Yes, did I say I held an official position?"

"What? Then why have you been putting on this leader's airs all this time?"

Lidel chuckled awkwardly: "You were a temporary operator before, so I was indeed your superior."

"So, we're now on equal footing?"

"I'm at least a senior, right?"

"Of course, you are a respected older brother to me."

"You just said I was your distant uncle, and now you're acting like my older brother?"

"Seniority is not important; what matters is respect."

Before long, the venue was filled with strange-looking aliens.

Rat Sanwan flew onto the podium on a small frisbee.

All eyes turned to him.

"I hereby declare the Primitive Civilization Reaction Department Commendation Meeting officially open."
