Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Just Pass the Physical Examination_1
"First home... Wait a second," Zheng Yichen remembered the issue of identity. Hazy City’s acceptance was not bad, but as for the matter of getting documents, it was still better to ask.
He went to find Prioress Tia again.
"Can one get documents here? Not false ones, I mean the kind that are actually useful."
Tia looked at Zheng Yichen with a composed expression and said very straightforwardly, "Yes."
Zheng Yichen’s face lit up with joy.
"But it’s only available to internal personnel."
"Can’t you make an exception?"
"No."
Since Dusk Cathedral wasn’t an option, Zheng Yichen had to look elsewhere. Before that, he had left Katrina and Eileena here, mainly to guard against any problems that might arise. Hazy City might not have many other facilities, but it certainly had plenty of research institutions. If their identities were exposed, it could cause trouble...
Perhaps the large research institutions wouldn’t care, but the smaller ones could be a different story.
At the Night Banquet Bar, Zheng Yichen looked at the sign and was once again filled with emotion. Just a few months ago, he thought he would never see this place again, and now that he was back, he couldn’t help but have some new reflections.
The bartender was somewhat surprised to see Zheng Yichen: "You haven’t been here for a while."
"I found a place to train hard. I am quite powerful now," Zheng Yichen clenched his fist. "Give me the usual drink."
The bartender poured Zheng Yichen a glass of fruit wine. Tasting the flavor, he showed a satisfied expression. This drink was not available in Katrina’s world. Although after returning to Hazy City, his physical strength had declined a bit, he had adapted to this issue.
After all, moving to another place could make you either stronger or weaker.
"Well, congratulations," the bartender said with a light smile. "So, are you preparing to take on a mission?"
"I’ll hold off on that. I just wanted to ask if it’s possible to get documents here?"
The bartender set down the glass he was continually wiping and asked seriously, "For outsiders who want a residence permit, it’s not difficult. But for those with unclear identities, it’s different; a medical examination is needed."
"A medical examination, huh." Zheng Yichen was not surprised. "Are there any other requirements?"
"That’s all. As long as you pass the medical examination, you’re good to go. Oh, and there’s a service fee of twenty thousand," the bartender said as he resumed his friendly smile.
"Understood."
Having gotten the information he wanted, Zheng Yichen finished his drink and left the Night Banquet Bar to go to another place—the temporary camp in the southern forest. What surprised him was that his car, which he had stored here, was still around. However, the people there had charged him a few thousand in storage fees.
Zheng Yichen checked the car over. The manager, thinking Zheng Yichen paid quite straightforwardly, offered him a motorcycle maintenance service. In his words, since the car had been here for several months, even if it was a new bike that hadn’t been used much, it would still need proper maintenance after being stored for so long.
Riding back to Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen took Katrina and Eileena for a medical examination there.
It didn’t take long for Tia to hand over their medical reports to Zheng Yichen, "They seem no different from ordinary people."
The contents of the medical reports surprised Zheng Yichen. He compared them to his own reports from several months ago in the same place, indeed finding no significant difference. The two witches could use magic, but their physical constitution was still at the level of an ordinary person.
As long as they didn’t expose their magic, a regular medical exam wouldn’t reveal any abnormalities. As for talent, Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure if Hazy City had means to test for that, but the current situation should suffice for the upcoming medical exams.
The bartender whistled softly as he looked at the people Zheng Yichen had brought, "You’ve got quite the energy, young man."
As he spoke, he took a photo of Eileena and Katrina and then pulled out a piece of paper to write down an address, "Go to this place tomorrow, and pay the service fee now."
Zheng Yichen took out a piece of gold. On the way, he had checked the current price of gold in Hazy City—five hundred per gram. The purity of his gold might not be that high, but the amount was definitely over twenty thousand.
The bartender weighed the gold in his hand, "The extra will be credited towards other service fees in the future, including some expenses in the bar, how about that?"
"That’s fine." This gold was collected in another world, not something Zheng Yichen purposely gathered, but a spoil of battle from dealing with Black Darkness creatures. Much of it was left behind by victims. Little by little, there was enough to melt into a large piece, and it wouldn’t go bad anyway.
He then rode the motorcycle with the two witches back to his residence, which he hadn’t returned to for several months. Seeing the room covered in dust, Zheng Yichen decided to move to a new place, preferably a house near Dusk Cathedral. As for the money, he had a good amount of accumulated gold in hand. Even if some of the gold coins were of low purity, refining them should suffice.
"Shall we stay at a hotel?" Zheng Yichen suggested.
Katrina immediately shook her head, "I think it’s quite nice here, just needs a bit of cleaning."
"Then let’s clean it up."
Seeing that the girl really wanted to spend the night at his place, Zheng Yichen had no objections. He was living alone and the house wasn’t too big, so cleaning wasn’t a hassle—it was done in less than an hour.
Afterward, Katrina looked at the barbells Zheng Yichen had at home, picked one up, and tried to lift it, revealing a strained expression.
"Let’s play with those tomorrow. Hurry up and take a bath and go to bed. I’ll take you to get some IDs tomorrow, otherwise even online shopping will be troublesome for you."
"Then let’s bathe together," Katrina suggested as she put the barbell back down, "I just checked the bathroom, and there are many things I don’t know how to use."
Young people have a lot of energy, and spending extra time taking a bath is normal.
The next day, Zheng Yichen brought the two witches to the place suggested by the bartender, only to find they had to queue up!
How could this be? Looking at the rather long queues, Zheng Yichen couldn’t immediately tell if those people were from outside of the city or in a similar situation to theirs.
But seeing that everyone looked fairly normal, with even the two witches beside Zheng Yichen playing with their phones as they waited.
The Forest Witch Eileena was browsing online shopping websites, searching for things she wanted. They knew how to operate computers and phones, having spent a few months with Zheng Yichen. Although they didn’t have internet access back then, the lack of a network didn’t impede their use of these devices.
Just by that, they had assimilated into the modern environment.
They came early in the morning to queue up and only got their turn at noon, which made Zheng Yichen curse under his breath.
The worker wearing a mask glanced over and then at the two witches beside Zheng Yichen, "Names."
"Katrina and Eileena."
"Okay... Done. Go over there for a physical examination, take photos after passing that, and then wait in the waiting hall. It won’t exceed two hours," the staff said, reciting the whole procedure by heart without paying too much attention to Zheng Yichen’s companions. After registering them, he gestured for Zheng Yichen to hurry and make way for others waiting in line.
Zheng Yichen had nothing to say about the efficiency in Hazy City, as it was always like this: "The medical examination process is similar to the one at Dusk Cathedral; there’s nothing to be nervous about. Just follow the items listed, and I’ll wait for you at the exit."
After giving Katrina a heads-up, Zheng Yichen went to wait at the seats near the exit. The bartender’s recommendation was reliable. After the medical check-up, they waited for less than an hour in the waiting hall before their numbers were called over the PA system.
It was basically "Please, number XXX, go to window XX." If it’s called three times and nobody shows up, they would move on to the next number.
"Such a hassle..." Katrina muttered as she looked at the card in her hand, featuring her photo, "All this for just a card, wasting almost an entire day here."
"It’s only troublesome the first time. If you lose it, you just need to take another photo to get it replaced," Zheng Yichen explained.
Afterward, Zheng Yichen helped them get SIM cards and new phones, and so the witches were effectively settled in Hazy City. The city’s residency requirements were the same as before and not too high, as long as one didn’t have a criminal record.
"We’ll get a bigger house later on. It’ll be better for you to do your magic research."
Speaking of magic, Katrina put away the new phone, which she cherished because it was a gift from Zheng Yichen, "It seems that our enhanced magic abilities have weakened here, but they’re still much stronger than before."
"That has to do with the world itself. Let’s talk about it when we get back."
Upon returning, Zheng Yichen relayed to Katrina and Eileena what Hunter Arno had informed him about before.
"Does that mean it’s easier to conduct magic research in higher-level worlds, and even the techniques we master will get additional enhancement?" Eileena asked with interest. After arriving in Hazy City, if not for being unfamiliar with the place, she would’ve already tried necromancy.
Zheng Yichen thought of the Undead summoned by Eileena that once belonged to John, "You’ve already experienced it before."
Eileena nodded in regret, "Indeed, but back then the church’s people also got stronger, so there was no chance for further research."
"Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. What Hazy City doesn’t lack is chances. I will be working with Dusk Cathedral, and I’ll bring you stuff from other worlds whenever I can," said Zheng Yichen.
He had already thought this through the previous night. He hadn’t fully grasped the benefits offered by Dusk Cathedral, but it was clear it wasn’t like Main God Space where good performance could be exchanged for various items.
The logistics on his end needed to be handled well. Katrina and Eileena were witches who were not particularly good at fighting. However, Eileena had a commendable talent for making Magic Potions, and Katrina’s refuge and Blessing Magic were also quite powerful. As long as she could learn the art of making magical items, that would be enough.
