Im Not A Demon Lord's
Chapter 8's
“Cow meat from Fusang is very tender.” Spending a large bowl of Fusang beef ramen, Ling PingAn belched happily. “Only because of this Fusang beef, I will have no problem in supporting the entry of the Fusang Kingdom into the federation.”
Right now, the phone in his pocket is vibrating to signify that he is receiving a text message.
Ling PingAn took it out and unlocked the screen.
It was an official text message from the federal government: Dear federal citizen, Mr. Ling PingAn, your account has been credited today:, 425. Your credit details are as follows: Allowance for children of Federation A Level contributors:, 000 .; subsidy for federal university students:, 000 .; allowances to encourage the settlement of unmarried children of meritorious contributors to the Federation:.
Seeing this text message, Ling PingAn went silent for a long time before finally sighing, “So today is already the day of the allowance ..”
“Timing really fast. In the blink of an eye, we are already tenth every month! ”
The tenth of each month is the day of subsidies and tax deductions of the central federal government.
Today is a carnival or a sad day for all federal citizens.
People like Ling PingAn would receive some money and feel happy.
But for high-income tycoons and entrepreneurs, they will inevitably face a notice asking them to pay taxes to the central federal government.
Shortly thereafter, a yellow text message appeared on Ling PingAn's phone.
In the Federation, this was a special color for imperial text messages.
But without looking at it, Ling PingAn ignored the text.
Because she could guess what it was: it must have been a message urging her to marry that was sent by the Federal Committee for the Children of Accomplished Contributors, working under the auspices of the imperial family.
He could not force himself to read text messages.
Because if he read it, Ling PingAn felt that he might not be able to resist encouraging her to travel without returning to attend a blind date and get married for real.
However, even though he did not read it, it does not mean he can escape the pressure of being asked to marry.
His phone rang as soon as the text was ignored. “Time to face the storm!”
Ling PingAn sighed as he helplessly picked up the phone and saw who was calling.
As expected, it was from 404100, a special phone number for the Federal Committee for Precious Contributor Children under the Federal Imperial family.
He's got to pick up the phone.
If he did not pick up the phone, he was afraid that the imperial commissioner would come to his door for tea later in the afternoon.
With no other choice, he answered the call.
“Halo. This Ling PingAn.. ”.
“Halo there.” The soft and beautiful voice of the girl came from the phone. “Bapak. Ling, I am Qin Keqing, personal secretary of the crown princess of the Federal Kingdom .. “
“Oh... hello,” Ling PingAn replied politely, but he knew that it wasn't really him.
The Federal Committee for the Precious Children of Contributors is indeed an organization placed directly under the leadership of Crown Princess Rouan, the eldest sister of the emperor.
However, Ling PingAn knew very well that the crown princess had to deal with a myriad of affairs every day. Legend has it that he had 3,000 handsome men to accompany him.
How could he possibly deploy his personal secretary to summon a person like him?
This girl was nothing more than the private secretary the private secretary the crown princess's private secretary.
“This is the case..” the girl on the phone continued gently, “I just found out that you are already 24 years old this year... am I right?”.
“Ya...” Ling PingAn frowned, showing an expression like something bad was about to happen.
“Among the children of a Tier A contributor from the Federation, you are the only one who has reached the age of 24 and has not reported any relationship…” The soft and beautiful voice of the girl questioned her in a suspicious tone, “Tuan . Ling... do you have a problem with your body? ”
“No!” Ling PingAn immediately denied it.
“Mmm...” The other party continued gently, “I have also checked your health check report for last year and this year. Everything looks healthy.. ”.
“Bapak. Ling...., ”dia asked,“ why don't you date someone? ”
“Is it because you have never met your ideal lover?”
“I've learned that in the last three years, Governor General Guangnan has sent you seven invitations to the Valuable Contributor Children's Matchmaking Event, but you never attended any of them.”.
Hearing that, Ling PingAn could only smile awkwardly.
Matchmaking event…?
If he has time for a matchmaking event, wouldn't it be better spent playing some games or writing a few chapters of his novel while staying at home?
“Is it because you are worried about wedding and delivery costs?” The soft and beautiful voice of this girl did not stop talking with this persuasive tone. “Bapak. Ling, you don't have to worry about this. “
“In fact, according to the Central Federal Government Act and the special policies put in place by the imperial family, as long as you start dating someone, falling in love, or even getting married and having children, the subsidies and allowances you will receive will continue to increase.”
“I can assure you that the Federal Government and the imperial family will never allow the descendants of meritorious contributors unable to fall in love, marry, or be unable to send their children to school.”
“Do you want me to guide you through the central government bill and imperial family policy for Tier A contributor children?”
Ling PingAn hurriedly shook his head, “No, thank you.”
Since he was 18 years old and had reached the age of official marriage, Ling PingAn's phone and mailbox would regularly receive a variety of text messages and emails from the central government, the imperial family, the Governor's District, and Jiangcheng City.
It's all about the Federal Act of Popular Science and Imperial Policy.
At first, Ling PingAn read the text and email enthusiastically. But then she realized that each bill and policy read: falling in love, getting married, having children, and how much subsidy would be given.
So he never read it again.
She was afraid that she would not be able to resist the temptation and get into the trap of love.
Is it better than playing games?
Is it better than writing a novel?
There was a long silence on the phone.
After a long time, a soft and beautiful voice sounded once again, “Mr. Ling... if you continue like this, you will make it difficult for us.. ”.
“From all the children of the meritorious Tier A contributors from the federation, you are the only one who is over 24 years old but has never been in a relationship even though ..”
“I'm so afraid you won't be peerless even when you are 30 ..”
“And, in that case, I'm afraid even His Majesty will inquire about your marriage status ..”
“Can you help us all...”
“Go and date someone... even if it's just for show, okay..?”
Ling PingAn was silent.
He may have a lot of bad habits.
But there's one thing about him. He's honest.
That means he rarely lies. Even if it was to be kind, he would try his best to avoid it.
Moreover, he could get into legal trouble if he lied to the imperial family …
When the young girl on the other end of the phone heard Ling PingAn's silence, she also became silent. After a while, looking annoyed, he reluctantly suppressed his emotions and said in a disappointed tone, “Thank you for talking to me. I hope you live happily.. ”.
Tut tut tut's…
Listening to the tone of the call on the phone, Ling PingAn put down the phone and sighed as well.
“Is single breaking the law?” he asked himself gently and answered himself, “No!”
However, he quickly got rid of the problem.
The time to play the game has arrived.
He picked up his phone and went into the crack.
…
Thousands of miles away, north of Guangnan Governor District, on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the towering capital of the empire stands firmly on the banks of the Yangtze River.
In a building in Linjiang district, a young woman angrily puts down a phone.
“What kind of person is he?” He spoke rather angrily, “If not for you being the child of a Level A contributor, I would very much like to call the Ministry of Finance and ask them to cut your allowances and subsidies!”
Ring ring ring ring.
Right now, the red phone on his desk is ringing.
He quickly answered the phone.
“Yang Mulia ..” He got up from his chair and bowed.
“Iya..”
“I Qin Keqing..”
“Iya..”
“I will finish it as soon as possible. Rest assured, Your Majesty! ”
“Iya..”
Placing the phone down, he slumped in his chair.
He reached out, took the file from the table, opened it, and looked at the smiling young student who was wearing the traditional scholar uniform and imperial crown. He could not help but grit his teeth.
“Is dating someone that hard for you?” tanyanya.
If he could, he would personally fly to Jiangcheng City, capture the damn otaku and take it to Jianye City, throw it into the matchmaking program on Jianye Television, he said, and let 24 female guests tear her apart. The descendants of Level A contributors were enough to drive those materialistic girls crazy.
But unfortunately, he couldn't.
The children of Tier A contributors were not only protected by federal law, they were also given preferential treatment by the imperial family.
The files and their whereabouts are all confidential information.
Unless they were to speak for themselves, it was impossible for outsiders to know who they were. Also, for those in the know, they would not dare to spread this information at all.
Currently, the federal government and the royal family are responsible.
Most of the efforts of the imperial family centered on being a matchmaker.
Her Highness Crown Princess Rouan was the one responsible for implementing this policy.
In present times, it is the basic policy of the imperial family and one of the duties of the central federal government to provide preferential treatment for the descendants of meritorious contributors and to safeguard their lives and families.
A man in a 24-year-old household who has never been in a relationship and never even dated is a thorn in everyone's side.
With no other choice, there was only one thing he could do: pass the pressure down.
He grabbed the phone, called the Federal Office of Special Affairs for the Conferred Children in the Jiangnan Governor District and verbally attacked the person who was supposed to be dealing with this until he cried uncle.
