The identity problem!
Earlier, he had been short on energy points and could only temporarily create an identity with a tourist visa.
But once the tourist visa expired, he would have to return, or he would become an illegal immigrant and risk arrest!
Now it was time to solve this problem once and for all.
First, he changed his identity to that of an immigrant from the Eastern Ancient Country living in Chinatown, New York, in the United States.
Huh? There was also the matter of an address? What a hassle!
Still, that was simple too. He first used 0.5 energy points to materialize a top-of-the-line Huawei laptop, connected to the network the little hotel had brought online after its power was restored, and picked out a small apartment in Chinatown listed for sale online.
Using the [Mutated Stone]'s ability to alter reality, he spent 0.5 energy points to transfer ownership of the apartment to himself.
Of course, Qi Jun did not take someone else's home for nothing. While changing the property's ownership through the [Mutated Stone], he also used the [Mutated Stone] to add an equivalent sum in US dollars to the original owner's account.
It cost 1.5 energy points, mainly to alter the memories of the relevant people. The funds modified through the [Mutated Stone] were entirely legitimate and legal, so there was no need to worry about an attack from the United States' vicious hounds-the IRS.
With that, for a total of 2.5 energy points, Qi Jun officially owned a legal property in America.
Next, he altered the memories of the few police officers who had seen him.
Since there were only a few of them, and he was merely changing the tourist visa in their body camera footage and memories into a valid green card, it was totally A-fucking-OK!
Of course, this involved humans, living people worth several energy points each.
This round of alterations cost Qi Jun another full 3 energy points!
Finally, to be safe, Qi Jun spent another 2 energy points using the [Mutated Stone] to add some fabricated memories to the relevant people in the distant Eastern Ancient Country, at the address on his ID.
As for why he did not simply change his identity to that of a "native-born" American?
Perhaps it was because he had transmigrated in his own body, or perhaps, deep down, Qi Jun simply could not accept having a "native-born" American identity?
In short, Qi Jun's energy reserves plunged from 21.5 to 14 points in an instant!
Still, watching his old passport, tourist visa, and so on vanish with a pop, followed by a pile of things like a green card, driver's license, bank cards, and credit cards appearing out of thin air, Qi Jun finally broke into a happy smile.
His identity problem was completely resolved. Now he could rest easy.
He no longer had to constantly worry that a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent might suddenly appear at any moment and say, "You're an illegal immigrant. Come quietly down to the office with us!"
Lying on the bed after a string of thrilling events, he suddenly relaxed mentally.
Before long, Qi Jun drifted straight off to sleep.
In his dream, Qi Jun seemed to see himself fully mastering the [Mutated Stone] and becoming a supreme big shot throughout all of Marvel, and even all the worlds across the heavens. What an imposing figure he cut!
Chapter 12: Testing the [Reality Stone]'s hidden functions!
He slept straight through until broad daylight.
Qi Jun was awakened by the noisy voices outside.
After washing up, he stood by the window and looked at the bustling crowds coming and going through Chinatown, unable to help letting out a sigh.
