Creating An Identity (Arc 2)

"Ge, do you still want to earn money?" Feng Yongrui asked.

"Well, yes," Yin Longshen said.

"Then... what about making friends and then asking them for help?" Feng Yongrui insinuated.

Hurry up and become friends with [daylily900], so that you can have your own bank account!

Alas, Yin Longshen was not the type of protagonist who followed the script.

"I don't really need new friends," Yin Longshen said. "Didi, do you not trust me? Am I not capable enough?"

...Making a bank account isn't about capability, the problem here is you're under-aged!

"Ge... I still think this guy seems okay," Feng Yongrui pointed to the username [daylily900] and spoke. "Maybe you should try to be friends with him first. If he turns out to be annoying, you can just block him or something, right?"

Yin Longshen nodded his head slowly. "Well, that makes sense... Alright, since you said so, then I'll try it."

Feng Yongrui breathed a sigh of relief and muttered inside his heart, "Peng Hui, I can only help you this far, the rest is up to you..."

Several days later, Feng Yongrui was pleased to know that Yin Longshen had added [daylily900] as his friend. The two of them also chatted occasionally.

Well, it was mostly [daylily900]'s one sided conversation. Yin Longshen replied with short, cold answers most of the time.

Yin Longshen was busy with his school as well as his codes and software-making. Meanwhile, Feng Yongrui was busy planning to hurt himself.

...That last line sounded really weird, but that was exactly what he was doing.

Feng Yongrui had used a lot of his points for the shapeshifting skill, so he wanted to make the best out of it.

First of all, he had to create a new identity for himself, an identity that would help him plan things out. With how he was right now, he didn't have money, a job, or anything that could help him!

Feng Yongrui needed to create a new identity for himself and also make an ID card for that 'identity'. Then, using that 'identity', he would approach Yin Longshen's future enemies and use them to hurt himself.

Feng Yongrui replaced himself with a doppelganger and flew out of the Yin mansion with his skill. Having the 'Invisibility' Skill, Flying Ghost Skill, and Shapeshifting Skill was really convenient.

He flew to a government's office and observed the people coming in and out of it. He located the place where they kept certain files, and found a person as his target.

The person Feng Yongrui chose was called Wang Bing, a middle-aged man in his early forties. He had a common face that could easily blend into the crowd, and his position wasn't too high or too low either.

The best part of this was, Wang Bing was someone who often slacked at work. When he was supposed to work, he would be either sleeping, reading a book, or chatting with his colleagues.

There were days when he didn't even go to work. Feng Yongrui had observed him for some time and realized that although he sometimes didn't go to work, he still pretended to be a diligent worker.

Whenever his superior came to check on him, Wang Bing would be pretending to work hard. Sometimes, Wang Bing was pretending to work, but what he was doing was utterly useless.

For example, there was that one time when he pretended to compile certain files. In reality, Wang Bing was just mindlessly flipping through the documents.

Feng Yongrui: "..."

Feng Yongrui did not understand how a government official could slack off this much, but it didn't matter for him. This person was the perfect target.

Feng Yongrui chose a day when Wang Bing was absent from work. Feng Yongrui had noted down Wang Bing's habits, his gait, and his overall demeanor. Feng Yongrui was now 70% confident that he could copy Wang Bing.

Feng Yongrui quietly shapeshifted into Wang Bing, wearing Wang Bing's usual clothes, and then he walked inside the building.

Feng Yongrui's heart was actually beating violently against his chest, but he pretended his was fine.

He entered the building and navigated his way into Wang Bing's seat. He sat down and glanced around him furtively. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice.

Feng Yongrui quickly opened Wang Bing's computer and accessed his files. Since this was a government's building, Feng Yongrui wanted to create a new identity for himself, register this 'identity', and get a legal ID card.

Feng Yongrui's actions were considered swift as he created the identity of an orphan named Xiao Xiong. He also made several important documents for himself such as his ID card, birth certificate, and so on.

When he was done, Feng Yongrui took the official stamp and completed his actions. There! Everything looked real!

As long as no one suspected him, then he shouldn't get into trouble, right? Besides, which person would be idle enough to check if his identification and certificates were real or not?

Feng Yongrui was satisfied with his work and stuffed his items into his System Inventory when no one was looking.

His mission here was done, he just needed to go home...

"Eh? Wang Bing? Why are you here?" a person said behind him.

Feng Yongrui felt his heart jumping in fear.

Just who was it?

He turned around and plastered a smile on his face when he saw who it was.

"Ahaha... So it's Mr. Xu... Hello," Feng Yongrui said.

This Mr. Xu was one of Wang Bing's colleagues. The two often went for a drink together, so they could be considered quite close.

Mr. Xu patted 'Wang Bing' on the shoulder. "Why are you so busy today? I thought you said you wouldn't come to work," he said.

Feng Yongrui bit his tongue in agitation. Argh... why did this man have to pop up now?

"Well. I just realized that I haven't organize a few documents, so I decided to be more diligent today. After all, I heard the higher-ups will be coming soon," Feng Yongrui said.

"Really? Tsk, if that's true, then I'd better hurry and finish my work as well," Mr. Xu sighed.

"I was planning on inviting you for a drink, but I guess that will have to be cancelled," he said, wrinkling his brows.

Feng Yongrui breathed a sigh of relief and said a few more perfunctory words. When Mr. Xu finally left, Feng Yongrui breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was a close call," he muttered.

Although Mr. Xu and Wang Bing weren't exactly best friends, the two of them often conversed together. If Feng Yongrui acted weird, then Mr. Xu would definitely notice. Thankfully, it seemed like he didn't.

Feng Yongrui left the government office and found a secluded corner to shapeshift into an adolescent. This person had a clean and youthful face, a slightly crooked mouth, thick eyebrows and long eyelashes.

The would be "Xiao Xiong". An ID card usually needed a picture of the person, and for this identity, Feng Yongrui had shapeshifted into this youth and taken a picture of himself.

According to the data he had inserted, "Xiao Xiong" was an orphan. Currently, he was 21 years old. He had just graduated from University.

Feng Yongrui opened the System's information and read the contents.

"System, as far as I remember, when I first skimmed through this information... There was an incident when Yin Longshen almost got into a car accident, right?" he asked.

"Host, in the original timeline, there were several attempts to kill Yin Longshen. Which one are you referring to?" the System asked.

"I'm not too sure either..." Feng Yongrui grumbled.

"This is why you should've read the information carefully instead of just skimming through it," the System scoffed.

Feng Yongrui: "..."

Fine, the System's words made sense as well.

Feng Yongrui scrolled through the information.

When Yin Longshen was 17, his company, XBH, was growing well. His company focused on software, the gaming industry, and server applications.

However, Yin Longshen was not satisfied with the growth of his company. He wanted it to be even bigger than before, and he felt that its growth was too slow.

So after racking his brains and discussing with several key figures in his company, XBH company developed an advanced computer operating system software, which was called Destry.

Feng Yongrui, this poor person whose understanding of software, turned to the System for help.

"What is 'Destry' anyway?" he asked.

"Well, Host, 'Destry' means 'war horse', and if we see this the etymological roots of this word, then we can safely assume that --"

"Stop, I meant the software. What kind of software is it anyway?" Feng Yongrui asked.

The System replied, "Think of something like Microsoft. You know Microsoft has a lot of stuff, right? There's Word, PowerPoint, and so on. That's the stuff Yin Longshen was making."

"...I see," Feng Yongrui nodded in understanding.

He continued to read the next information. After Yin Longshen developed that software, Destry, his company rose to even greater heights and gained a firm foothold in the software industry.

Still, Yin Longshen was not satisfied. Sure, his company was booming, but he was still not powerful enough to topple the Yin family's business. Yin Longshen began to focus on the gaming sector.
