Chapter 35: New Identity

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Zhiyu walked out from a police station in a small town in Nanyun County, Chuan Province. He had contacted a friend of his that was selling forged identities and procured a list of people who had died, but had not yet been recorded by the authorities. He highlighted a few men that was of the same age as him, then went to the cities they lived in to apply for a replacement national identification.

Lu Zhiyu’s method was simple. All he had to do was slightly hypnotize the officers with his mind power to take his cues, and they would approve the application. After that, the officers took new photos of Lu Zhiyu, and issued him the replacement national identification and the household register.

He used his mind power to affect the optic nerves of the officers, then used his sub-brain to create an image that he wanted the officers to see and sent it directly into their optic nerves. Thus, whatever they were seeing through their eyes were all things that Lu Zhiyu wanted them to see. In the eyes of an average person, the method Lu Zhiyu had used was akin to the fabled illusory spells. The security footage here was only kept for half a year. It would be hard for anyone to check up on him if something were to happen in the future.

However, since he was on Earth, he did not have the power of travelling through space like he did in the Scroll of the World, unless he left a channeling array to summon a dimensional door in that place. He would have to travel like any other normal person. He created four new identities. Even though the identities would not hold up if anyone wanted to investigate them, they would be enough for now.

After that, he went to the bank and closed all of his old bank accounts. He then created bank cards under his new identities. Now Lu Zhiyu had four different identities, as well as a bank card under each of the identity.

After he got the new bank accounts, he entered a gold exchange store with a wooden crate. There were quite a few places one could exchange their gold for cash. Some jewellers would also provide such a service. Even some banks would buy gold from customers. But these shops usually had strict criterias on the purity of the gold, mostly asking for high purity gold. The one Lu Zhiyu went to was rather reputable and orthodox.

The gold Lu Zhiyu had was from Maria’s World, a stock from the treasury of the City of Gold. While he had only spent two weeks on Earth, hundreds of years had passed in Maria’s World. The Golden Dynasty had ended. The palace and the Temple of Light were gone and forgotten. Lu Zhiyu found the vaults from Ahenaten’s time and took a part of the deposits, which were all gold bullions.

But these gold bullions were all refined using ancient methods, its purity not up to Earth’s standards. But as long as Lu Zhiyu had control of Maria’s World, it was easy for him to create gold.

A middle-aged man from the store checked the colour, the sound and measured the density of the gold using a machine. He assessed each piece of the gold bullions carefully and spoke to the manager quietly for a few minutes. The manager nodded and turned back to Lu Zhiyu, “This gold is not quite up to our standards, only being 90 percent pure, may I ask where did you get this gold? Sorry for the questions, but this is quite a large amount of gold. You’ve got more than 50 kilograms here!”

“It was passed down through my family,” Lu Zhiyu said immediately. “It’s been lying in my basement for years.” The man nodded, “Oh! There should be no problems then. But since its purity is not quite up to our standard, we cannot pay you as much as normal...”

Lu Zhiyu said it was passed down through the family because he knew no one would question it or ask for a certificate. A lot of people had valuables inherited from their family, so there wouldn’t be any certificates. He did not know of anybody who would not buy these things just because there was no certificate!

After a few rounds of back and forth with the manager, Lu Zhiyu managed to figure out what the best price the man would pay for them with his mind power and they finally agreed on a price that also met Lu Zhiyu’s expectation. After they made the deal, Lu Zhiyu instantly said, “I have some more in my car. Since I’m here already, why don’t I just sell it to you as well?”

The manager gaped, “How much more do you have?”

Lu Zhiyu said immediately, “Not much, about a hundred kilograms.”

“Ah!”

After this deal, Lu Zhiyu went to several different cities, dividing up nearly a ton of gold then sold them under his four different identities and depositing the proceeds into his different bank accounts. After these deals were done, the money in his bank accounts totaled around two hundred and thirty million yuan.

This was the first time he had seen so much money. It did not feel difficult obtaining these riches. If not for fearing that he would attract too much attention, Lu Zhiyu would be able to produce a few more tons of gold. Since he owned Maria’s World, gold, silver, and diamonds were like the grass by the side of the road, easily obtainable. Lu Zhiyu sold a ton of gold this time under his different identities. The most attention he would get would be amongst the circle of gold buyers. He would deposit a few million into his account at a time. It might be a large amount of money to an average person, but in the context of a nation, no one would take note of such a thing!

He picked an identity with the name Mu Tao and decided it would be his daily identity. According to the records, this person had graduated from a university in Shanghai. He spent some time studying overseas. He went missing during a tragic incident and his body was never found.

He was an art major and was a bit of a recluse without many friends. He studied oil painting overseas. As an art buff, his personality was not like an average person’s. Lu Zhiyu had decided to use this identity for his daily life. The others would be used as backups when needed.

He used Mu Tao’s identity to purchase a flight ticket to go back home. He needed to tie the ends regarding the identity of Lu Zhiyu. This way, whatever he did from now on would be independent from Lu Zhiyu and would not affect any of his family and friends.

With two hundred million in his possession, Lu Zhiyu felt his heart thump wildly. He told himself that he was practically a god that had created a world and can manipulate destinies, and that he should not be flustered by money. However, he still felt excited. This was the first time he’d ever possessed this much money. He had also created for himself four new identities, ready to erase his past. He felt like he was in a Hollywood movie. In the Scroll of the World, he could pretend he was only playing a video game, but here on Earth, in the real world, Lu Zhiyu’s sense of belonging and feelings were on a completely different level!

On the plane, Lu Zhiyu felt anxious and excited at the same time. It was as though he had finally taken a true first step forward in long journey of his new life!

Once he got home, he saw that he had several calls from Xiao Le. He hadn’t been showing up at the pet store lately, and Xiao Le had been very busy. As soon as he picked up, he heard Xiao Le’s angry voice, “Boss, where have you been?”

Lu Zhiyu thought for a moment, then said, “Xiao Le, something came up. I might not be able to come to the store anytime soon.”

Xiao Le said in shock, “What? Then what would happen to the store?”

“I don’t think I have time for it,” Lu Zhiyu said with a chuckle. “If you’re interested, you can have the store. You have done a good job taking care of the store. To tell you the truth, I bought the store because I was bored and I wanted to find something to do. You have been doing most of the taking care of the store. It’s been hard on you!”

“What?” Xiao Le said, shocked. “But I do not have...”

“You don’t have to pay me,” Lu Zhiyu said. “It’s a gift, like I said. After all, I didn’t spend too much on the store, and have broken even already. I don’t need anything in the store, nor do I have the time. It’s settled, Peng Xiaole, you are now the boss of the Cats and Dogs Pet Store. I trust you. I’ll send you the contract later. I have to go now. I’ll see you around!”

Peng Xiaole hung up the phone and looked at the store full of chatting customers and noisy animals, still confused about what had just happened. This store is mine now?
