A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

************

......

The spacecraft docked in its berth.

Lu Jianan unbuckled his seatbelt and followed his older brother off the spaceship, looking around to see what was going on.

What a huge port city!

The silver-white steel is cold, busy, and orderly.

The berths here are semi-underground, and the parking hall is huge and brightly lit. Even though the steel hall has poor light transmission and few windows, it is still as bright as day.

Because the Dawn Gate is the gateway connecting humans and Lyrnia, currently there are hardly any other races visiting here; it's mostly Zerg and humans going through visa processes and transit.

Guided robots with flashing indicator lights followed human port workers in smart uniforms as they moved among the crowd.

A huge information screen scrolls announcements in Lehrnia and several other major languages, broadcasting flight information, customs clearance status, and shuttle ship schedules to various destinations.

This is truly amazing; it's already a very well-established interstellar port.

Human development is happening so fast!

A year ago, humanity was unaware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, but now we have two starports.

The starport at the entrance to Liernia is called the Gate of Dawn, while the starport on Earth is called the Pearl.

The Gate of Dawn brought the dawn, and the Pearl of Earth connected all worlds.

Lu Jianan looked left and right and slowed down, falling far behind Shen.

Bi Shen returned and slapped Lu Jianan on the back.

"Ouch, that hurts! Why did you hit me, big brother?" Lu Jianan jumped up.

"What are you looking at? You can get lost just by following along? If I don't turn around, will they have to make an announcement over the loudspeaker when I get to the visa office?"

If he really behaves like that, I'll just slap him to death.

"......#&%#¥." Lu Jianan only dared to chirp softly.

"What?"

"It's nothing—"

"Hurry up, keep up, you still need to go through special procedures."

Then Lu Jianan followed his older brother.

Passing through bustling crowds, through pristine passageways, bilingual signs, operating security gates, and customs officers at work.

Wow--

Lu Jianan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it again.

The older brother raised his hand to slap him.

Lu Jianan shrank her neck and quickly followed.

Bishmantis wasn't wearing his military uniform today, but a casual suit. The suit jacket accentuated his slim waist and long legs, giving him a confident and dashing look.

Lu Jianan followed behind him with small, shuffling steps, like a pendant.

Waaaaah, my brother has such a bad temper!

But the older brother is so handsome.

Brother, you're reliable!

......

Section B of the visa office is for handling special cases and has its own separate office.

The Ninth Legion had already made an appointment in advance. Bi Shen led Lu Jianan in and they were invited to sit down in the office.

The middle-aged beta, dressed in the Human Federation Customs uniform, pushed up his glasses, glanced at the documents transmitted by the Ninth Legion, and then looked up to carefully examine Lu Jianan, who was standing behind Bishen.

His eyes held a professional scrutiny, along with a hint of barely perceptible sympathy.

"Are you Researcher Lu Jianan, who requires a special repatriation channel?"

"Yes." Bi Shen's voice was steady and strong as he pushed a certificate stamped by the Ninth Army onto the counter.

"Lu Jianan, a citizen of the Human Federation. Around the beginning of September in the Dawn Star Port area of ​​Cosmic Calendar 4299, he was illegally abducted by interstellar pirates. He was later rescued by the Ninth Legion of our army and went to the Interstellar Court to fight against human trafficking cases, which took about three months. He has no legal entry record and cannot obtain an entry and exit visa. He is now applying for a special repatriation procedure to return to the territory of the Human Federation."

Lu Jianan weakly added, "I was part of the first batch of official exploration teams from the 65th Star with the Space Force. My teachers and colleagues were with me at the time, and they can all vouch for me. Also, when I went missing, the First Army was nearby, so there might be a record of my disappearance in the First Army's system."

"Please wait a moment while I check." The staff member searched the system.

The first exploration team, Lu Jianan, senior researcher, lieutenant colonel, action log, missing person record... Ah! Got it!

"We do have records of your movements and disappearances."

The staff member looked up at Lu Jianan, their tone much gentler: "Lieutenant Colonel Lu, we need to collect your biometric information for identity verification and enter it into the federal missing persons database for final matching. This process may take a little time. Is now alright?"

"Sure." Lu Jianan nodded, then pouted.

I don't know why he's so unlucky.

Others come here excitedly to apply for visas and explore a new world, but he comes here to prove his bad luck, that he has to go through special procedures to return to Earth.

Bi Shen turned his head and gave a very subtle smile.

For some reason, Lu Jianan is always so fun.

"Please proceed to the medical area for biometric data collection." The staff escorted them out and then directed them to the medical area next to the terminal.

"Thank you," Lu Jianan said to him.

"You're too kind. We wish you a speedy return to Earth." The staff member shook hands with him.

......

After collecting various biometric information, including fingerprints, irises, voiceprints, and DNA samples, the results were uploaded to the Federal Citizens Database for comparison.

The waiting time wasn't long; with a soft "beep," the printer dispensed the paper voucher.

The doctor here is a female beta. Looking at the confirmation message that finally popped up, she couldn't help but smile.

Lu Jianan pouted again.

Okay, that's enough. He knows he's had a bad day, and it would be impolite to laugh anymore.

The doctor picked up a specially made official seal and stamped it bright red on several thick documents one by one.

"Identity confirmed. Mr. Lu Jianan, welcome home."

The doctor handed him one of the documents, instructing him to keep it safe and go to the counter to apply for a temporary visa: "This is your special channel permission and temporary identity certificate. With this, you can go to the counter to apply for a temporary return visa. With the temporary return visa, you can proceed with your return flight procedures without having to compete for a spot. After landing, the First Legion will have a special channel to complete the final identity restoration procedures for you."

"Thanks!"

......

When applying for a return visa at the counter, submit the supporting documents to the staff behind the counter.

After looking at it, the staff member said with a hint of sympathy, "Ah, Mr. Lu Jianan, do you need to apply for a temporary return visa?"

Oh my god, this happened on my first day at work.

"Yes." Lu Jianan is now able to face it calmly, and even feels a little peaceful.

Hey, they were just captured by space pirates before this place was even developed. It's nothing unusual, there's nothing to make a fuss about.

"Okay." The staff member clicked to view the processing method on the screen and asked him, "There are two visa options now. One is to return to Earth on a public spaceship. We recommend this option. You don't need to pay any fees, and you can return alone."

"The second option is if you already have companions in Liernia who want to travel with you, and you also have a private spaceship, you can apply for a private route and return by private spaceship."

Which one would you like?
