Witch Special

The memory from Feifei told Lin Zhenxi that the mainstream general equivalent in this world is still precious metals such as gold and silver. Even because of the rampant monsters, the scope of human activities has been shrinking and many major mining areas have been lost. The value of precious metals has increased significantly compared to before the disaster.

The small gold and silver ingots that Lin Zhenxi brought from the main world, which she exchanged with her own company's contribution points, were enough to serve as the starting capital for her career in this world.

Before that, however, Lin Zhenxi still had to find a reliable exchange channel to liquidate her precious metals. She was still completely undocumented in this world. If it were a technologically underdeveloped world, this wouldn't be a problem, given the lack of information. But this world was clearly different. The internet in this world was incredibly advanced. Even if it still couldn't catch up to the main world, the gap was simply due to a lack of hardware caused by the harsh living environment. This world had truly embraced the concept of the Internet of Everything.

After all, the material life of the lower classes is extremely scarce, and they can only seek solace in the spiritual world. The Internet is an important carrier of the spiritual world, and it must be well developed even for the sake of maintaining social stability.

With all the data connected, if Lin Zhenxi didn't even have a formal identity, then no matter what she did in this world, it would be difficult. Therefore, the most urgent thing was to get a legal identity for herself in this world-ranked major city.

After leaving the slums, Lin Zhenxi cast an invisibility spell on himself and rode a magic broom back to the city.

Although the city had just experienced a near-destruction "Dragon-level" (due to the limited damage, it was described as "Demon-level" in the news) monster disaster, life had to go on. Even though some areas were destroyed by the giant monster and were currently undergoing rescue efforts, the rest of the city quickly returned to normal life after the monster was eliminated. Everyone who had nothing to do with it returned to their jobs, going to work or school, and at most, they would feel a moment of sadness or relief when watching the news footage of the disaster area, and then they would get on with their daily lives.

This is a world where everyone will die sooner or later. The rampant monsters have made everyone in this world numb. Unless the monsters really hurt them, no matter how serious the disaster is, it is just cold words and numbers in the news. Its importance is not even as good as the coin you spend to buy a can of coffee from a vending machine when you are thirsty.

But this is convenient for Lin Zhenxi. She was actually worried that the city would come to a standstill due to the monster disaster. The relevant government departments and shops are still working normally, which is really a great help.

Lin Zhenxi first went to the government agency that handled her ID. When she arrived at the service hall, it was bustling with people, who clearly didn't care about the giant monster from before.

As long as they weren't trampled to death, buried in the rubble, or carried to the hospital, life would go on. Lin Zhenxi even had the illusion, when she noticed the deep fatigue in the eyes of those waiting in the service hall, that they might be hoping to be caught up in the monster disaster.

At least that way, there would be a legitimate reason not to go to work.

Seeing the ordinary people in front of him, Lin Zhenxi came up with a brilliant idea about how he should make a breakthrough in this world.

Stress breeds anxiety, and exhaustion and insomnia are often not mutually exclusive; they go hand in hand. Imagine you're a toiling 997 office worker, blessed with voluntary overtime, and find yourself dragging your exhausted body home until the wee hours of the morning. Then, after washing up, you lie in bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. You struggle to pick up your phone, check the time, and realize it's almost 4 a.m. Imagine having to wake up at 7:30 a.m. to catch the bus, and the alarm clock countdown is less than four hours. What a feeling of despair!

Destroy the world! Punch the Earth to pieces. That's probably what those insomniacs are thinking.

Lin Zhenxi can't change the voluntary hard work of the 997 workers, but she can protect their sleep. The sleep economy is a huge market, just as big as the maternal and infant economy, and potential consumers generally have deep wallets.

No matter how effective the sleeping aids in this world are, Lin Zhenxi can be sure that they are definitely not as effective as her one sentence "fainted".

As long as you make the magic pattern of the coma spell and make it into a trademark or something like that and stick it on the product, it would be very easy to let Muggles sleep well in this world without mystery.

Is it possible to use spells to help you sleep?

Given Lin Zhenxi's attainments in the field of epigraphy, it would be better if this matter could be kept simple.

Lin Zhenxi imagined a vision of this world's money gathering into a sea, lapping towards her in waves. Perhaps she could even plunder a fortune in this world? To improve her chances of survival in this unknown alien world, Lin Zhenxi had spent nearly all of her savings from ten years as a special envoy upon arriving. The precious metals exchanged for company contribution points were strictly prohibited from use in the main world. If she could return safely, while she would have no shortage of contribution points, her wallet would be emptier than ever. A special envoy couldn't survive without contribution points, but neither could a person without money. So, if she could earn something in this world to bring back, Lin Zhenxi was happy to do it.

Lin Zhenxi had done well in the previous few worlds, but after all, there was no space cube back then, so there was no way to move things back to the main world. But now that there is a space cube, a magical artifact that can move things across worlds, of course he has to make good use of it.

Lin Zhenxi randomly picked a number from the number-calling machine, and then saw a note saying that there were more than eighty people in line ahead of her. After a moment of silence, she pulled out her wand.

I was going to follow your rules and procedures, but you guys made things too complicated.

"Confusion."

Lin Zhenxi drew the Arabic number 9 in the air with his staff and cast a Confusion Charm on all the Muggles in the hall. Everyone felt a numbness in their bodies, but it disappeared as quickly as it came. No one paid any attention.

But one counter was empty. After finishing the business at hand, the teller did not call the next number, and no one in the hall noticed anything unusual.

Lin Zhenxi walked forward, pulled out a chair and sat down, then said to the suited staff member behind the counter, "I need to apply for an ID."

"Okay, ma'am. Have you lost your original ID? Please enter your ID." The teller said after operating the system for a while.

"I don't have one. Can you help me get a fake one?" Lin Zhenxi said directly.

The teller froze for a moment, clearly never having received such an impolite request. However, under the influence of the Confusion Charm, his mind was distorted, so after a moment's silence, he slowly nodded and began a new round of operations.

"Please look at the camera, ma'am."

After some manipulation, Lin Zhenxi obtained a genuine fake ID from Xiao Shuai, the employee behind the counter. Although all personal information except gender was fabricated by Lin Zhenxi, since it had been entered into the government database of this world, it was real, and the fake was also real.

With this official government-issued ID card, Lin Zhenxi's path to this world was completely clear. She then used a Confusion Charm to jump the queue at the bank to apply for her own savings card, and then found a large jewelry store to sell a gold ingot.

Robbery would actually be much easier. If Lin Zhenxi wanted to, every Muggle in the world could be her ATM. But that would be a complete crime, completely different from using magic to jump the queue. Unless she was desperate, Lin Zhenxi didn't want to cross her moral line. After all, a bottom line is like a dam; it must be held. Once it's breached, everything will crumble.

Of course, what Lin Zhenxi rejected was the act of actively committing a crime, not the act of being targeted by a criminal. Perhaps because she had been so ostentatious in the jewelry store, pulling out a gold ingot and asking the clerk if they wanted to buy it, she realized she was being followed the moment she emerged from the shop. Turning her head, she saw two oddly dressed, unremarkable men lurking in the crowd, staring at her with ill intent.

Lin Zhenxi turned around and walked into the alley on the side of the street. The two thugs probably thought that Lin Zhenxi wanted to escape through the small road, so they quickened their pace and followed him into the alley.

A minute later, Lin Zhenxi walked out of the alley with two dusty wallets in her hands. As she walked, she complained with disgust that the two gangsters were so poor that the total money they had was less than 500 yuan.

However, Lin Zhenxi really needs cash now. After the jewelry store purchased the gold ingots, the huge amount was transferred directly to Lin Zhenxi, so she actually has no money on her now.

As for those two hooligans… Lin Zhenxi had used the "upside-down fuchsia" technique to hang them upside down from the iron railings of the fire escape. They were probably screaming for help right now. Hopefully, someone would rescue them before their brains became congested and they passed out.

After receiving the cash from the gangster, Lin Zhenxi went back to the cell phone store and swiped his credit card to buy himself a phone. This device was similar in concept to the personal terminals in the main world, but its functionality was far inferior. After fiddling with it for a few seconds, Lin Zhenxi lost interest. Without even an onboard artificial intelligence, what else could it do besides make calls?

Lin Zhenxi is not into technology, and she is not good at modifying machines at all, so when a backward tool like a mobile phone falls into her hands, its only useful function is the original function of communication.

Now that we have proof of identity, start-up capital, and contact information, it's time to get down to business.
