#522 - Chapter 9 Return to America (Part 2)

By the way, before leaving, Liu Yuan brought all the giants into his space. The time flow in the small world is much faster than outside. They currently live in the mountainous area west of the central continent. Due to the abundance of food, the giant population has increased seven or eight times, forming a town.

Liu Yuan entered the base, and a large group of iron-eating beasts ran over, descendants of his former pet, Fatty. Fatty was an iron-eating beast he obtained from the Smiling Proud Wanderer world, personally captured by Linghu Chong. These iron-eating beasts have been living in the system space and have bred into a group of hundreds. They are also among the few animals allowed to enter the base.

Liu Yuan found a black leather suitcase in the windmill. When he opened it, there were thick stacks of 'Benjamins.' These were won in the Las Vegas casino in the Resident Evil world and had been gathering dust in his space. He reached out and picked up a stack, all 1996-edition US dollars with anti-counterfeiting threads, which could still be used in this world.

With money, many things become easier. He spent a simple night in a hotel.

The next morning, Liu Yuan went to the police station across the street, planning to spend money to get a legal identity, even if it was temporary. In this era, if you have money, you can live very well in America.

Liu Yuan entered the police station and explained his situation to the receptionist, hinting that he hoped to find some effective methods. Along with the application form, he handed over a Benjamin. The receptionist, a somewhat obese middle-aged Hispanic woman, discreetly covered it with a file bag. In an official tone, she said, "Sir, go up to the second floor, turn left, and go to the second-to-last room. Find Officer Roddy; he specializes in handling these matters. Here are your documents; please take them. I'll give him a call."

Liu Yuan naturally understood her implication and went to the office on the second floor. The officer who received him was a middle-aged white policeman with a warm smile on his face: "Sir, hello! My name is Roddy. How can I help you?"

Liu Yuan handed over the file bag. The white policeman saw the five Benjamins inside and quickly glanced at the surveillance camera outside the door. He discreetly stuffed the contents into his pocket.

After Officer Roddy asked some detailed questions, he said, "Mr. Liu, your problem is a bit tricky. According to the normal procedure, you should first go to the consulate to reapply for a passport. Of course, if you find it troublesome, I can also find a friend to help you get one. I guarantee the information on it will be the same. I can also help you apply for a local residence permit. But… rest assured, give me three hours, and you'll be satisfied." Liu Yuan pushed over another bulging envelope, and Officer Roddy immediately changed his tune.

After Liu Yuan left the office, Officer Roddy took out the envelope and counted it, a total of thirty Benjamins. He picked up the phone, satisfied: "Hey, Peter, it's me! You son of a bitch, turn off the music! I have a big deal to introduce to you…"

Liu Yuan had been a policeman in Resident Evil, so he naturally knew about the gray areas within the police station. Some things are more convenient to handle through them. Liu Yuan asked a passing policeman and found Officer Tracy at the duty station.

Liu Yuan returned the money to her with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Officer Tracy. This is the money you paid for my room. I have found friends, and they will be here to pick me up soon. In a few days, after I settle down, I hope to invite you to dinner. I would like to express my gratitude again."

Tracy looked somewhat disappointed but quickly took out a pen and wrote down a string of phone numbers on a piece of paper: "This is my contact information. We can call and make another appointment."

In the capitalistic United States, as long as the money is right, people work efficiently. The white policeman named Roddy was very efficient. Before noon, Liu Yuan had a passport that could pass for real and an H-1B work visa. (Made some modifications, please bear with me.) Because it allows holders to work in the United States, and the initial H-1B visa is valid for three years.

With proof of identity, Liu Yuan called a taxi. Upon the driver's recommendation, he chose a Sheraton hotel in Glendale, which is close to Hollywood and the Walk of Fame. Although he doesn't know what's special about this world, there must be a reason why he landed in Los Angeles.

And Hollywood is a place where incidents often occur. In most movies, it is flooded, hit by meteorites, invaded by aliens, or has terrorists. If you live near here, you will know any major events in the first place.

The hotel is five-star, and the rooms are very nice, with all the facilities. The view from the window is wide open, and you can see the iconic Hollywood sign from here.

Liu Yuan purchased the latest computer through the hotel phone. The items were recommended by the hotel staff and came from Apple's exclusive store, including desktops, laptops, and mobile phones, with professional on-site service included. Currently, the iPad has not yet been launched, but Apple launched a tablet in 1993, which was expensive and not easy to use.

Of course, tips are indispensable in the United States. During this period, the amount of tips was not fixed; it was entirely voluntary. Liu Yuan was not stingy, and the service staff and salespeople left with flattering smiles on their faces.

As the familiar Windows interface and music started, after many years, Liu Yuan finally used a computer again. Liu Yuan was very excited. When he put his hand on the keyboard, perhaps due to being in a different world, some subtle operating habits and settings were slightly different from the original world, and Liu Yuan always felt a little awkward.

In the United States during this period, the content on the internet was already very rich. News and social networking sites accounted for the majority, as well as many well-known shopping websites, such as Amazon, Macy's, etc.

From the information Liu Yuan obtained online, the history of this world has not changed much. Especially in modern times, there are no special landmark events. Liu Yuan also could not determine which world he was in.

For several days, he did not get the harvest he wanted online. Since he didn't know how long he would stay here, Liu Yuan decided to buy a house in Los Angeles. Perhaps integrating into the lives of ordinary people would bring unexpected gains.
