268: Identity issues

Everyone wandered around Matilda City but found nothing. They all felt that this time, the world mission would likely be a "protracted war" and not something that could be resolved in a few days.

Afterward, they went together to the hotel that Bai Mo had booked for everyone.

Half a month! Bai Mo received all sorts of "flattery" from the hotel manager; after all, this was a big client!

"It looks quite high-class!" Lin Zifeng looked at the hotel; it looked luxurious, grand, and high-end at a glance.

Judging by what Bai Mo said, the 1 million prize money would basically be spent, at least 900,000, for half a month including three meals a day.

That's 180,000 per person; for fifteen days, that's over 10,000 per day.

It must be said, Bai Mo was truly generous.

Of course, Bai Mo didn't feel like there was anything to be reluctant about. After all, this money was from Vinodea World, and he had no use for it. He only came to this world because of the world mission and couldn't stay here permanently.

So, he spent whatever money he had; there was no need to save it.

"That goes without saying! I am the righteous and loyal Bai Mo! Spending this money on everyone! It's worth it!" Bai Mo said, lifting his head proudly.

"Look at you, so proud." Yi Xin said with a smile.

Everyone walked into the hotel together.

"Welcome, are you..." The receptionist came up to greet them.

"I'm the one who just booked the rooms with your manager. I'm here to pick up the key cards." Bai Mo stepped forward and said.

"Ah! Alright, alright." The receptionist nodded and then hurriedly took out the key cards for the five rooms and handed them to Bai Mo.

"Thank you." Bai Mo took them and then said to everyone, "Would you like to choose?"

"No need, they're all next to each other anyway." Yi Xin glanced at them; the room numbers were basically all together, either across the hall or right next door.

It didn't matter; it was just a place to rest and eat.

"Alright, then I'll just distribute them." Bai Mo nodded and then randomly handed one to each person.

Everyone took them and casually put them in their pockets, though in reality, they put them into their System inventory.

"Do you want to go eat something? The hotel restaurant is open 24 hours; just swipe your key card." Bai Mo said.

"Sure." Clarissa nodded. Among those present, only she, Yi Xin, and Lin Zifeng could be considered not needing to eat; they were capable of abstaining from food.

But the others couldn't. Bai Mo was powerful, but he still needed to eat a certain amount, though not much, just to maintain basic functions. Abstaining from food was technically possible for him, but barely.

As for Maple Leaf and Lin Ze, they couldn't.

Lin Ze, as a classic example of biological evolution.

Whether it was his various abilities or Biological Energy, he needed to replenish a large amount of energy. Eating was the most direct way to replenish energy, and the excess would be stored.

Of course, it was also possible for Lin Ze to use things like evolution crystals to replenish, or to consume the Qi within his body.

Qi itself was the extracted and condensed essence of spirit, energy, and vitality.

Well, all things considered, the one who truly needed to eat was Maple Leaf.

"Then let's go eat something together!" Yi Xin nodded with a smile. Anyway, for them, food was just to satisfy their appetite. Once it entered their stomachs, it would be "crushed" and "obliterated" by their powerful digestive abilities, turning into that tiny bit of energy to supplement themselves—better than nothing.

Everyone walked toward the restaurant together.

Because it was a buffet, everyone took the food they liked.

Of course, Clarissa and the others didn't overdo it... Otherwise, even if all the food in the entire restaurant were multiplied by ten, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

"Nom~ nom~ nom~" Maple Leaf had evolved into a professional eater.

Looking at her, it was as if she hadn't eaten in decades; she looked like a starving ghost.

Everyone looked at Maple Leaf with a strange expression.

As she ate, even the somewhat oblivious Maple Leaf noticed something was wrong and looked up at everyone.

"It's fine, it's fine, just eat, eat! You can eat whatever you want here." Clarissa said to Maple Leaf with a look of "maternal love."

"Poor child, how long has it been since you've had a full meal! You've been living so hard!" Yi Xin sighed, "It's okay, I can't promise much else, but when it comes to food, don't worry! From now on, as long as your brother Yi Xin has a bite to eat, you won't go hungry!"

"..." Maple Leaf was silent for a moment: "I just... um... haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time..."

"Mm-hmm, we know, we know, eat, eat! Is this enough? I'll go get you some more! Or you can see if there's anything you want to eat here." Lin Zifeng said to Maple Leaf.

"Right, right, right!" Bai Mo also pushed the food in front of him toward Maple Leaf.

Everyone looked at Maple Leaf's face, which was flushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay! Really, after all, our Cross-World Group is one big loving family!" Yi Xin said, "And this is a buffet, I'll just go get another serving."

"Alright, alright, everyone stop teasing Maple Leaf." Clarissa smiled and said.

Maple Leaf didn't know what to say, so she simply buried her head in her food and ate.

Everyone was full and satisfied, sitting next to a pile of empty plates.

"In the coming days... are we going to live here for a while?" Bai Mo asked.

"Hmm... according to the current situation, that's correct." Clarissa nodded and said.

"Then I have a question, and that is the issue of our identity... A few days is fine, but if it goes on for a long time, it's inevitable that some situations will arise, plus we will definitely be outside most of the time." Yi Xin said.

They had already noticed that in this Xuanhuan world, which had a mix of technology and magic, things like ID cards existed.

After all, humans were Dragon Riders (poop scoopers) and the people of the Dragon.

Don't let the name Dragon Rider sound good; in reality... to the Dragon, humans were the side being managed and ruled.

Whether things were good or bad really depended on the Dragon's mood.

Plus, there was a complete social order, so naturally, things like ID cards existed.

"The ID card issue... I'll think about it during this time and see if there's a way to resolve it, even if it's just some temporary status." Clarissa rubbed her chin and said, then thought of that "warm-hearted money-bag Dragon" from before—Bella.

Hmm, Bella's "tool" Dragon Rider was Lan Fu, and according to Radmoven, two years had already passed.

Lan Fu didn't know if he had graduated from the Matilda Dragon Rider Academy; she would have to look for him.

No, wait... Clarissa took out a magic communication stone; this was the communication stone she had exchanged with Bella last time.

She didn't know if it would still work after so long.

"This is a communication stone left by a Dragon I met here last time. She seems to have quite a status here, so I'll ask her if she has a way to resolve this." Clarissa explained, seeing the curious gazes from everyone.

"I see! Then let's go back to our rooms!" Yi Xin said.

"No problem." Clarissa nodded, and then everyone got up, left, and went to Clarissa's room.

This kind of luxury suite was seventy or eighty square meters, more than enough to accommodate the five of them.

Clarissa took out Bella's magic communication stone and injected some energy into it.
