Villas are generally quite expensive, and the rental prices are not low either, not to mention that there are people with unclear identities living there.

Li Chaoge watched the agent's departing figure with a bit of a headache. There were too many people, and he also had to consider the people who would appear in the future. It was impossible to rent today and then change again in a couple of days.

Even the villa I just mentioned doesn't actually have seven or eight bedrooms; it's mainly designed to accommodate twenty or thirty people playing games at the same time.

"Captain, is it about money?" Seele glanced at Li Chaoge, who was hesitating, and leaned closer to ask in a low voice. "If it's about money, Captain, don't worry. Bronya will be here in a few days."

"Money?"

Even Lucia and Exusiai, who have very sensitive hearing, were stumped.

They didn't bring anything to make money with them, since they came to find the Doctor/Commander, and they didn't think about how to survive here.

Too much peace isn't necessarily a good thing...

Exusiai scratched the back of her head, looking troubled.

If it were like Lungmen, she could just go out and take on a few delivery orders.

But here, even a hardworking employee like her, who deals with life and death, would starve. After all, no one was out on the streets carrying weapons, and she felt that if she took out her weapon, the local guards would keep chasing her.

Meltlilith, who was standing with her arms crossed and giving Hei hope the cold shoulder, rolled her eyes but said nothing.

The Master is short of money, and these useless people can't even get him any. If she could get him a large sum of money, she could definitely win his heart over to her!

"No, it's mainly about your identification documents. Many places in this society require identification documents."

Li Chaoge shook his head, smiled, and patted Xi'er's little head, explaining softly while stroking her smooth, short, blue-black hair.

He is currently under considerable pressure regarding his savings, but it's not entirely impossible. The main difficulty lies in his immigration status.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere now, so under normal circumstances there's no problem. After all, no one is going to specifically monitor so many ordinary people unless someone commits a crime or a conflict breaks out and their identity needs to be verified, in which case there's a risk of being exposed.

However, the security standards in villa communities are relatively strict. Sometimes, even just visiting requires registering your ID information. Now, so many of them are unregistered. Once it is discovered, someone will definitely come to their door to offer help.

Actually, the problem of unregistered residents isn't that big; many places have unregistered residents. The main issue is that Li Chaoge doesn't know how to explain their identities, and what he should do if their true identities are discovered.

He believed that intelligent people wouldn't see him as an enemy, and that cooperation was the right path in the long run. But ordinary people at his level were destined to have little access to those above them; how much vision could those below truly possess?

If he encounters someone blinded by greed, things could escalate and become difficult to manage.

The saying "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings" probably illustrates this point.

So for now, he avoids being exposed as much as possible. He will only consider making contact when someone who can truly coordinate the overall situation comes along. After all, it's impossible to hide with so many beautiful girls around, and he doesn't plan to live in seclusion in the mountains.

"ID information? If so, Captain, don't worry." Seele paused for a moment, then quickly whispered, "Bronya and the others have already prepared identification for us."

"Um...you mean you've already got your ID cards?"

Li Chaoge stared at Xier in utter bewilderment, completely unexpected that Xier would say such a thing.

"Actually, we had a test before we came. They gave us all some simple identification information. After all, we didn't suddenly decide to come."

Seele explained in a low voice, "Without strict checks, our identity information is fine. Although we don't have any documents on hand, we can just go and get replacement ID cards."

"Oh no, it seems the registered nationality is different. I need to find the relevant person to reissue the documents."

"Can you still do this with one person in between?"

"Actually, I'm not very clear either. I just know that back then, Bronya and Brownie teamed up with people from other worlds, like Akashi, Sigma, BB, Eliza, and others, and they seemed to be trying to send messages here through that game group."

Seele counted them one by one on her fingers. Although she didn't understand these things, her sister Bronya had explained them to her back then.

"Although we ultimately failed and couldn't let you know our situation, Captain, we did leave behind some data. We'll release all that data on your birthday, Captain."

"......"

Li Chaoge was somewhat shocked by what these people were doing and was at a loss for words.

A true, valid, and verifiable identity cannot simply be recorded in a database. Birth records, education records, life records, medical records, tax records, and other data must be supported by corresponding real entities to truly create a perfect identity.

But there's no problem at all. After all, this is an operation that takes place separately, and it's enough that we don't have to worry about identity issues for a short period of time.

"The others probably know about this too, right?"

Seele glanced at the others.

"I don't know, but it seems like that's true."

Lucia shook her head, indicating that she wasn't sure. She was only responsible for finding the commander and protecting him; she didn't care about anything else.

"I think it was BB who did this on my end, she didn't tell me."

Meltlilith pouted. Her original self was really awful. She didn't tell her any of this. Did she want her to cause trouble through cyberspace?

“…” Seele looked at Exusiai.

Exusiai winked at her.

Does she have anyone doing these things? It seems not. Could she be the only one with an unknown identity?

"Sister Le, don't worry, Kroos has also helped, and your identity information has been registered."

Seele understood what Exusiai meant and could only helplessly explain, "It seems to be in a small country, but I can't remember exactly."

Since there are many of them, it's easier to hide information by spreading them out. However, there's no need to worry too much about such things, since they are different from their original birthplace no matter where they are.

"Looks like I was worrying for nothing."

Li Chaoge looked at them and shook his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I was too nervous and excited before, and I forgot..."

Seele lowered her head shyly, while Black Seele pretended not to hear and looked at the property model on the side as if nothing had happened.

What's the point of remembering something like this? It's just a minor identity; does she even need to? If she really wanted to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, she could make those guys regret it.

Li Chaoge felt helpless, but also relieved.

After all, this is a good thing, as there are no more worries for the time being. Actually, it's his fault for not asking them clearly from the beginning, but just relying on his own experience to think that they needed to hide their identities.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Where does the money for their tips come from? Could it be that they tipped in their own world and then manifested here?

How can so many world currencies be interchangeable? Do they all have consciousness and can communicate and exchange with each other? That's ridiculous.

“Captain, Bronya didn’t transfer the money directly to your account because she was worried that you would attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives too early, and it would be troublesome if they investigated later.” Seele thought about what she hadn’t finished saying and reminded her again, “I hope you don’t mind, Captain. We can consider how to make money through legitimate means after Bronya and the others arrive.”

"I understand."

Li Chaoge nodded. If a card that usually holds tens of thousands of yuan suddenly had a large sum of several million yuan in its account, it would definitely be investigated, and he had no way to avoid such things.

If he were to be investigated, it's highly likely that the identities of those around him, such as Seele, would be discovered immediately.

However, to my surprise, Bronya had already set her sights on his windfall before she even arrived.

Oh well, it's all their money anyway. I just hope Bronya comes over soon. It's not shameful to live off Bronya.

"Sir, we have a few more houses here that would suit your needs. Please take a look."

At this moment, the agent returned with the documents.

"Could you show us this villa?"

Li Chaoge smiled as he looked at the hardworking real estate agent.

Now that his immigration status is sorted out, he should choose a better place to live for the time being.

Finding a small house would be cheaper, but then he and the others wouldn't have anywhere to play. What, are they supposed to do? That would be dangerous.

For the sake of his own life, he still had to let them play games together, instead of him having to accompany them all the time.

".......Okay, please wait a moment."

The real estate agent, who was carrying a stack of property listings, paused for a moment when he saw Li Chaoge's smile before nodding in response with a broad smile.

The agent immediately took Li Chaoge and his group to a nearby villa to view the property.

Li Chaoge and his group conducted an on-site inspection and found that it was indeed as described: 7 rooms, 4 floors, 500 square meters.

There are two king-size beds, three twin beds, one themed room, and if you include the movie room with an 8-meter-long bed, there are indeed seven rooms.

Actually, this villa is quite nice, probably similar to a party villa. It's just that the location is rather remote and not very good, so not many people come here to play, which is why it's cheaper, allowing Li Chaoge, who doesn't have much savings, to rent it for half a month.

"Are you satisfied, sir?"

After showing Li Chaoge around the detached villa, the agent smiled at him.

Judging from the expressions of Li Chaoge and the others, he felt that the deal was done.

"Sure, but I only brought my ID card. They don't have theirs with them. Can we sign now?"

Li Chaoge took out her ID card and smiled, saying that although their identities were no longer a problem, it was better to avoid trouble and not have to reissue it if possible.

What if it gets discovered? A fake is still a fake, and if it gets discovered, it's like walking into a trap.

"It's okay, we can just register them after they get their ID cards."

The agent agreed without hesitation.

Normally it's not feasible. Recently, the checks have been strict. To complete the procedures, everyone must first show their ID cards for registration and confirmation before the process can continue.

But rules are one thing, and actual implementation is another.

It was just a mistake on his part. He made an exception for not having his ID card with him. They were supposed to register the information the next day, but he only remembered that he hadn't finished the registration after they left. No one can guarantee that everything will be perfect, right?

"Then let's find somewhere else to stay tonight."

After Li Chaoge and the agent went back and signed the contract, he handed the keys to Xi'er and the others.

"Okay, then let's go back and get a change of clothes!"

Seele nodded. They didn't need to move, since they were only staying for a few days. They just needed to bring a change of clothes and some personal items.

"I've only stayed one night, and I'm already parting ways with you, boss?"

Exusiai rested her chin on Li Chaoge's shoulder and complained.

With so many rooms over there, how are she and the Doctor supposed to have fun together, and how can they invite other people to join in? It seems like a really troublesome situation.

Without a reason to sleep together, many things can no longer proceed naturally.

"That's not like they're completely separated."

Li Chaoge rolled his eyes at Exusiai. Actually, this was a good thing for him. Otherwise, with so many people all night, he might have had to get out of bed the next day.

Although he really wanted to try the pleasure of seven times a night, his physical limitations prevented him from doing so.

"Let's stay together tonight..." Lucia muttered to herself, then her eyes suddenly fixed on Li Chaoge. "Commander, let's go buy some groceries and cook dinner!"

Chapter 32. My Sweet Little Darling

Lucia? Cooking?

Realizing these two key elements could produce a significant reaction, Li Chaoge immediately became alert and looked at Lucia with some hesitation:

"...Lucia, are you going to cook this yourself?"

Lucia, are you serious? Don't you love your commander anymore? Are you going to make some awful food again?

"Commander, is it not allowed? I think I'd be better at cooking myself."

Seeing Li Chaoge's strange look, Lucia touched the hair by her ear and whispered.

Having finally met the commander, she felt it was necessary to cook him a delicious meal to celebrate.

".......sure."

Li Chaoge looked at Lucia, whose eyes showed a hint of expectation, and nodded after a moment of silence.

Alright, since they'll be staying in this villa for a while anyway, they can't possibly eat out or order takeout every day. Cooking for themselves is a way to save money.

Furthermore, takeout food is really not hygienic. If you can cook for yourself, do so. If you really must order takeout, it's best to choose a restaurant with a dine-in service. The hygiene of restaurants that specialize in takeout is, to put it mildly, questionable.

Li Chaoge, who once worked as a food delivery driver, has a deep understanding of the various messes and grime in the food delivery industry; the simple dirt and disorder are hard to describe.

However, there's nothing he can do in those situations. At most, he can tell the person who ordered the takeout about the restaurant and ask them to be careful. But sometimes he gets dragged into it too, because the person ordering takeout complains about the restaurant because of the information he provided...

He was speechless because of the negative review he received from the merchant. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the site administrator at the time, so the administrator bought him a bottle of water, said a few words, and the matter was over.

"Then I'll be looking forward to the dinner you'll make tonight, Lucia."

As Li Chaoge spoke, he raised his hand and touched Lucia's head, feeling the silky smooth twin tails.

Tonight, he should keep a close eye on Lucia. He doesn't need to make a fancy dinner; as long as she's okay after eating, that's fine.

He refused to believe that anyone could actually make such bizarre dishes in real life. As long as the process was correct and the cooking time was just right, no matter how bad the result was, it couldn't possibly contain lethal amounts of food.

"Yes! Commander, please look forward to it!"
