In response to the question that Bob had asked, all that he received from the enforcer was a fierce glare.
This enforcer was a young man who seemed to be in his late 20s, wearing a leather armor. Bob could easily tell his power level, as this young man was a level 9 soldier!
Obviously, if he had not advanced in the morning, it would have been impossible for him to be able to tell the power level of this young man in front of him.
At this moment, Bob was feeling slightly uncomfortable. It was not due to the gaze that he was receiving from the other party, but because he realized something.
Since he had not gotten a skill or a technique that could hide his power level, it was clear that the other party could tell that he was stronger. Since the other party was a level 9 soldier, it was clear that the other party could tell that he was at least a level 1 captain or above.
The enforcer on the other hand continued gazing at Bob. But seeing the genuine puzzlement on the face of the other party, he could not help but frown slightly.
He then asked, "You don't know about the identification?"
Bob obviously did not know any information about this. This information was not contained within the memories of the previous Bob, and considering that the previous Bob did not venture out of the house so often, it was inevitable.
The enforcer glanced at Bob for quite a while before finally asking, "When did you awaken? Have you ever gone out of the stronghold before?"
"I awakened more than 2 years ago. Since I awakened, I did not leave the stronghold, trying to get stronger. This is my first time going out of the stronghold." Bob responded.
There was absolutely no way that he was going to say that he had only awakened the previous day. If he said something like that, it was obviously going to attract a lot of attention.
Additionally, who was going to believe him if he said that anyway? As for his age, who was going to doubt that he was 22? Unless there was something like an identification card like back on Earth, it would be impossible for someone to be able to tell his exact age.
As for investigating something like this, the number of people that was venturing in and out of the stronghold was quite high. The entire population of stronghold number 7 was extremely high, considering that the strongholds possessed the remaining population of the human race.
So, it was going to be extremely difficult if they wanted to find him later on. And, he had no intention of going out of the stronghold after this round, unless necessary. He wanted to seclude himself for quite a while, get stronger, before finally venturing out again.
The enforcer was stunned after hearing that Bob had awakened 2 years ago. He wondered to himself, this young man had only taken 2 years in order to get to a level that was above the soldier realm?
That was absolutely impossible! For himself, to be able to get to level 9 of the soldier realm, he had to take over 6 years of hard work. But the person in front of him, not only was he younger than himself, but he was stronger as well, having used a shorter time?
No matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible for something like that to happen. That was of course unless this person had awakened an energy absorption technique that was of an extremely higher tier.
For him, to be able to reach level 9 of the soldier realm, it had taken him 6 years. That was despite him possessing an Uncommon tier technique. Did this not imply that this young man in front of him possessed a technique that was at the Rare tier?
Just thinking about it made him shocked. Only a few people possessed Rare tier energy absorption techniques. This was something that could not be changed at all, inherently awakening the moment that a person reached the age of 20.
While it was true that the number of people that actually possessed the Rare tier techniques was not very small, but in comparison to the entire population of the stronghold, the number was extremely low.
Thinking that he had encountered One of the future superpowers of the stronghold, the young man's attitude immediately changed. He smiled at Bob and said, "In order to get in and out of the stronghold, you will need to have an identification. Since this is your first time here, you need to be registered. Please come with me."
Bob was slightly shocked by the change in attitude of the enforcer before him. And when he looked behind him, those that were in line to leave the stronghold also seemed to be shocked. They were all looking at him as if they were seeing an alien.
It was at this moment that Bob finally realized that it seemed that two years were still too fast for him to be able to reach his level. But what could he do? It was impossible for him to say that he was currently 30 years old, as his appearance could give him away.
Regardless, since it had already happened, Bob hoped that nothing big would happen next. He had already attracted too much attention, something that he did not want.
Not wanting to dwell here anymore, Bob followed the young enforcer who was immediately replaced by another person in order to confirm the identities of all those that were going out of the stronghold.
The two of them headed to a building that was located on the side of the gate, the left side. When they got there, Bob realized that it seemed that this was something like an office back on earth. It was just that this place did not have any computers or any advanced machines.
Instead, there were quite a few people inside that were manually recording things. Several cabinets were inside this office, clearly where most of the documents were stored.
The two of them headed in front of one of the desks, before the young enforcer introduced Bob. "He wants to get an identification, as this is the first time that he is intending to venture out of the stronghold."
The middle-aged lady behind the desk looked up, before gazing at Bob. She suddenly raised her brows slightly, as she looked at Bob with a scrutinizing gaze.
She did not ask anything else, as she shifted her attention back to the desk. She took a sheet of paper from a drawer of the desk, before handing it over to Bob. At the same time, she said, "Fill in your details there first."
Immediately after she said those words, she went back to writing something on a document. The young enforcer looked slightly embarrassed by the attitude shown by the middle-aged lady.
Even then, he began assisting Bob in filling in the required areas with his details. Bob made sure to maintain what he had said before, claiming that he was currently 22 years old.
It was a good thing that there was nothing that could be used to verify if his age was as he said it to be. So, a few minutes later, Bob completed what was required of him.
The lady went through the information, before looking at Bob. This time, she was obviously scrutinizing him deeply before asking, "Are you sure that this is your age? You're not kidding, right?"
Bob blinked slightly, wondering what this lady was trying to imply. Was she implying that he was younger than the age given, or older?
Looking at the confused expression on Bob's face, the lady said, "You are currently at level 1 of the captain realm. So, how is it that you are only 22 years old? You should be older than this."
Bob did not know what to reply, and in the end, he simply shrugged his shoulders. But inwardly, he was shocked that this lady could tell his power level. He looked at her, trying to sense her power level, but he completely failed. This implied that her power level was above him.
Just what was her level? And, if she was working here, then how strong were those that could be found within the center of the stronghold? Just thinking about this, Bob was more determined to get stronger, without attracting any unnecessary attention any further.
What could he do? 22 years was already above his age, at least in this world.
Seeing his response, the lady simply shook her head as she said, "Anyway, this is just a routine. It is not as if the information that you are giving here is very important. Just wait a little bit and your identification will be given to you."
As the lady said that, she handed over the document that Bob had filled to another person that was behind a desk next to her. That person went through the information, before looking at Bob.
He then shifted his gaze back, took out a small token that was made with a special type of material that Bob did not know. His hand glowed with a faint light that enveloped that token.
"It is done. Your information is contained within this token. If you want to leave or enter the stronghold, you will have to present this token, as it is your identification." The young man said as he handed the token to Bob.
Bob took the token, and after that, he left together with the young enforcer. Since Bob had already gotten a token, he was finally allowed to leave the stronghold.
The moment that he stepped out of the gates and walls of the stronghold, what he saw was an expanse of land that was covered in a grey mist.
