Chapter 360: 360, Stack buff_1
 

Su Yu was thoroughly confused now.

Looking at David’s robust physique, strong arms, and rugged stubble… and this was supposed to be a woman?

Was there a malfunction with the country’s gender recognition system?

Just when Su Yu started to question life itself, David explained: “Actually, it’s like this…”

He pointed his finger at a line of small print below the driver license: “Master, look here, it’s clearly written: ‘You were originally male, but identify as female. Additionally, you are homosexual with a penchant for cross-dressing. Other than that, you are an esteemed environmentalist and supporter of animal protection and vegetarianism.'”

Su Yu stared at the driver license.

David continued: “These identity tags will earn you respect no matter which city you visit across the country, plus several special concessions. You won’t face discrimination. Nowadays, more than 50% of the native males in our country select ‘female’ as their gender on their driver licenses.”

“Bloody crap.” Su Yu held his forehead. He really didn’t know what else to say to describe his current state of mental breakdown.

The Lun Kete Union truly was the stronghold of the leftist, so this was the situation!

In contrast, the staunch rightist from the Raging Sun Empire actually seemed a bit cute.

…

However, as things had come to this, Su Yu really had no other option.

Getting a new driver license marked with the gender “male” would require wasting three hours, which he didn’t want to do.

This “female” driver license… Su Yu decided to reluctantly accept it.

Either way, he would be returning to Blue Star in a week, so he could change his identity the next time he came.

Su Yu gave David another round of [Cleansing].

Then, with Morning Star, he took the basket of “sweet dates” and left the residential building.

Gotta say, these sweet dates were quite delicious. He could bring them back to Blue Star and see if the soil there could support their growth.

There was no elevator in the run-down residential building they were in, so Su Yu had to take the stairs down.

On the way down, Morning Star, uncharacteristically not playing with her phone, propped her cat paws under her chin and watched him.

“What are you ogling at?” Su Yu gave her a baffled glance.

“Nothing.” Morning Star giggled and wagged her tail, “Is there anything this little meow can do for you, Miss Garcia with the penchant for cross-dressing?”

“Yes, get back to the pet space.” Su Yu replied unfazed.

“Hmph! You are so cruel! I accompany you to bed every night, and this is how you treat me?” Morning Star extended a claw, looking aggrieved as if she had encountered a heartless lover.

The cat species loved warmth and hated cold. This was also evident in Morning Star, a Star Realm cat.

Back when they were on Blue Star, every morning when Su Yu woke up, he would find Morning Star who had somehow slipped into his blanket either lying on his chest or hugging his arm. Her claim of “accompanying him to bed every night” was not false.

But Su Yu didn’t care about all that. He grabbed the loose skin on the back of Morning Star’s neck, and stuffed her back into the pet space.

…

After leaving the residential building, Su Yu took the newly purchased white anti-gravitational hovercar and headed in the direction of the capital city of Lun Kete Union — Treyna City.

In order to reach Treyna City, he would have to take the highway.

But when the hovercar was passing through the highway toll station, a minor hiccup occurred.

The hovercar entered the toll station when a synthesized electronic voice rang out from a short distance to the left: “Please present your driver license.”

Su Yu handed out his new driver license to a robotic arm reaching through the window.

After a few seconds, the electronic voice came again, “A very warm welcome to you, Miss Garcia!”

“Our company respects the rights of LGBT people. Since you are a unique LGBT person, we waive your highway toll for this journey. Have a pleasant trip!”

“Our company values environmental protection. Since you are a dedicated environmentalist, we present you with five ‘Charging Credit Vouchers’ worth 100 coins each.”

“Our company values animal protection. A life of an animal is just as…”

Similar automated messages played five times until the cars lining up behind honked impatiently, finally causing the messages to stop.

The mechanical arm outside the window handed Su Yu’s driver license back to him and also handed in a beautifully packaged purple box, where ‘purple’ is the color used to signify LGBT identity in Lun Kete Union.

The box not only had charging vouchers but also hotel vouchers, food restaurant vouchers and various other special service vouchers.

The discounts on the vouchers were massive. For instance, the “Charging Credit Vouchers” were used for charging the hovercar. For a charge worth 1000 Runket Coins, one would just have to pay 500 coins if they used a voucher. The discount was as high as 50%.

The other vouchers were pretty much the same, with a discount rate of 50%-60%.

This was a very appealing commodity for the common citizens of the Lun Kete Union, especially those at the bottom. No wonder David said that 50% of the male driver licenses in the country are marked as female. For such discounts, indeed it was something to strive for.

Morning Star jumped out of the pet space, picked up a sweet date from the basket to eat. While eating, she said, “People here are crazy.”

Su Yu nodded in agreement: “I wasn’t expecting social development in Lun Kete Union to be this distorted, either.”

The hovercar was now on the highway, autonomously heading towards the Imperial Capital at a speed of 500 km/hr, without any need for Su Yu to control it.

Su Yu handed Morning Star the purple box: “Morning Star, check on the network if there’s a problem with this box and the stuff inside it.”

He had just scanned the box with his mental powers and didn’t find any surveillance or eavesdropping devices in it. However, since he couldn’t read the text inside the box, it was better to be cautious.

“Alright, respected Miss Garcia.” Morning Star smirked, then began to inspect these vouchers one by one and verify the information online.

A few minutes later, Morning Star looked up at Su Yu: “I’ve checked, there’s no problem with these vouchers. Everyone with multiple layers of ‘buffs’ like you would receive such a box every time they use the highway, once a month.”

“That’s good!” Su Yu sighed in relief.

He reached out to pet Morning Star’s back.

But upon seeing his large green hand, Morning Star decisively jumped away, leaving Su Yu’s hand hanging awkwardly in mid-air.

But Su Yu quickly withdrew his hand, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, “Morning Star, use this time to find some information about Treyna City.”

Morning Star looked at him, seemingly asking why.

Su Yu added: “Treyna City isn’t like the two frontier small towns we’ve visited before. It’s one of the top three large cities on the Skru Star, with god level powerhouses not inferior to Lady Bernina. We can’t let our guard down this time.”

Morning Star nodded, her cat paw swiping across her phone screen rapidly: “Alright, I’ll help you look up some info.”
