Chapter 152: The strategic significance of APTX4869.
Li De felt a flash before his eyes, and then he found himself and his companions on the rooftop of a building. Not far below, the traffic passing by came into view.

"This is such a spectacular city!" Alexia was the first to exclaim.

After all, it was the first time for her and others, including Claire, to see a real forest of steel and concrete.

Especially at this moment, Li De discovered that the place where he and others were was in the heart of Tokyo, near Sakuradamon. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Building stood a few hundred meters away diagonally across the road.

When you are in Chiyoda Ward, what you see all around you are tall buildings.

Even though she had seen the eight-star hotel in the pirate world, Claire couldn't help but nod and said, "This scene is indeed quite spectacular."

"Master, is this the trial mission world? It's incredible!" Elizabeth also exclaimed.

"Yes, the scenery gave me a very special feeling." Rose also sighed.

"It feels advanced, right? This is natural. After all, the development of civilization in this world is much faster than our world, so welcome to the world of modern technology." Li De couldn't help but open his arms excitedly and said to the women.

You have to know that since the world where super powers were out of control, this is the second modern technological world that Li De has encountered after entering the mission world.

Although he has become accustomed to living in an alien-style world with a medieval background, it does not mean that Reed does not miss the modern technological world.

"Sid, what is the modern technological world?" Claire asked curiously.

"The development of world civilization is divided into several different eras: ancient, modern, and contemporary. The world we grew up in belongs to the end of ancient times and the beginning of modern times.

If any of you are interested, you can go to the library and look up world history, and you will understand it by comparison. Modern civilization is based on technology, and in fact, we have also begun to embark on this path.

The various magic weapons that Ita has studied can all find corresponding object models in this world, but the concentration of magic power in our world is high enough, so I chose to use magic power as the universal energy source.

As you can sense, the concentration of magic in this world is much lower than that in our world, so the energy used in this world is not magic, but pure electricity."

After listening to Li De's explanation, Alexia nodded first and said, "It turns out that it was not my illusion. The concentration of magic power in this world is indeed very low, and the air is not that fresh."

"This is the price that must be paid for the development of civilization." Li De nodded.

"Master, will our world be like this in the future?" Rose asked.

"If you're talking about the environment, then don't worry. Once we become the dominant power, we can start popularizing magic weapons and reverse the world's pace of industrialization. Then the environment in the future will definitely not be the same as here.

But if you are talking about the changes in a city or a country, then it is probably the case. In fact, the reason why I brought you here this time is to let you experience this world, to see, to listen, to understand from all aspects, and to learn in a targeted manner. "

After Li De finished speaking, the two women nodded thoughtfully.

"Sid, how do we start next?" Claire asked casually.

"The first thing to do is to get a legal identity. After all, we will stay here for a few years this time. It will be difficult to integrate into this world without a legal identity." Li De answered casually.

"Master, how do we get a legal identity?" Elizabeth asked.

"This is also a task given to you." Li De did not answer, but answered casually.

"I understand, master. I..." Elizabeth replied immediately, and then planned to collect information. After all, she was very capable in this area.

But before she could finish, Li De interrupted her and said, "Don't be so impatient, Elizabeth. There is one thing I haven't said yet. This city, or country, is not suitable for you three to stay in. So, except for me and my sister, even if you want to obtain legal status, you have to go to other countries first."

"Master, can I ask why this is happening?" Alexia looked at Li De in confusion and asked.

"It's simple. The hair color is too eye-catching. Most people in this country have black hair. Also, the history of this country doesn't match the kingdoms in our world.

So you won't get as much benefit from staying in this country as you would from other countries. Anyway, there is a language board shared by the system, so you don't have to worry about language problems, so you don't have to stay with us."

"So master, when you need me, just teleport over here, right?" Alexia said with a smile.

"You are so smart!" Li De couldn't help but replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Master, do you have any recommendations about which country we should visit?" Elizabeth asked.

"Rose will go to the Great Eagle Empire, Elizabeth will go to Gaul, and the remaining Alexia will go to Germany. Sister, use your invisibility magic to help me go to the Metropolitan Police Department over there and look for a certain type of file in the Criminal Division. I need to confirm the current time node.

As for the three of you, stay here for now and don't let anyone find you. I'm going to the airport now to find a disguise partner for you. You can use the other person's identity to go to the country I mentioned, and then each of you can find a way to obtain a legal identity."

"I understand!" the girls answered at the same time.

Then Reed and Claire disappeared and took action on their own.

An hour and a half later, Li De arrived at Tokyo Haneda International Airport and found a single woman traveling to Germany. He used mental magic to hypnotize her to go to the bathroom, and then teleported Alexia over to the bathroom.

After asking her to imitate the other person's transformation into slime, he took over the other person's carry-on luggage and boarded the plane. After giving her some simple precautions, Li De started to look for the second person.

After being busy for several hours, Li Decai finally sent all three women away.

As for the people who were disguised by the three women, they were all turned into stone statues and hidden in a room in a hotel that Li De randomly found.

These three people are just temporary means for Alexia and the others to go to the corresponding countries. Once they arrive, Li De will send them over and untie the petrified them.

"How is it, sister?" In the hotel room, Reed asked Claire who had returned.

"There haven't been any billion yen bank robberies lately." Claire shook her head.

"Well, now I know the approximate time point. The next step is to get an identity." Li De said immediately.

"So what should we do?" Claire continued to ask.

"It's actually very easy to do, because this country, like the Great Eagle Empire, does not have its own identity document, so it is much easier to operate." Li De said with a smile.

There are several ways to prove your identity in Neon. The first is the driver's license; the second is the resident record; the third is the health insurance card; the fourth is the taxpayer number system; and the fifth is the Basic Resident Register Network System.

In fact, having one of them is enough. Unless there is something special, no one will care about the authenticity of a person's identity, so it will be much easier to operate.

At least with Li De's means, it shouldn't be too easy to get a legal identity.

It took Li De three days to find the right person. Li De prepared an identity for Claire, a second-year JK named Maeda Reiko, who lived in Chiba Prefecture with her brother Maeda Shigeo.

It's quite tragic to talk about these two people. Shigeo Maeda is 22 years old, but he is already a senior office worker with four years of experience. However, because of his weak personality, his boss treats him as a trash can for negative emotions in the company.

Her younger sister Reiko Maeda is not much better. She is also a soft-hearted person and is the perfect target for bullying at school.

The two were discovered by chance when Li De was looking for suitable partners.

Originally, Li De planned to petrify the two men, and then unpetrify them when he left, letting them inherit the property he left behind, and giving them a bright future as a reward for using their identities.

Who would have thought that when Li De found the two of them, his sister was in a mess and had been hanging in her room for several hours.

My brother couldn't bear the blow and swallowed the medicine, which was left to cool for more than half an hour. This time, he didn't even need to be petrified.

Li De found a mausoleum in the backyard of a temple and buried the two people directly.

Although he had to squeeze with others, Li De believed that he was quite generous compared to those who didn't even have a tomb.

After all, being accompanied by great monks and Buddhist teachings, one can rest in peace, right?

The next day, Li De disguised himself as Shigeo Maeda and went to the company to complete the resignation procedures. He then went to Reiko Maeda's school to complete the transfer procedures. Then he took his original resident certificate and seal to the local government office to complete the moving-out procedures. He then took these documents to the government office in Beika-cho, Tokyo, to apply for a new resident certificate.

Because there is no photo on the resident certificate, Reed and Claire don't have to look like the unlucky brother and sister. Even Claire doesn't need to adjust her appearance. The only thing Reed needs to do is to slightly adjust his clothes when going out.

Judging from Li De's eyes, outsiders would never think that he is only 18 years old, at most he just has a young face.

Thanks to the high-end apartment that Claire temporarily rented, she was able to complete the step of obtaining legal status.

In the evening, Reed teleported Alexia, Elizabeth and Rose back.

"How is it? Have you obtained legal identities?" Li De asked the other three women.

"Master, this is a very simple thing," Alexia said proudly.

"How did you do it?" Claire asked.

“In the Great Eagle Empire where I live, there is actually no such thing as proof of identity. After learning about the history of this country, I found a local notorious company and got some money. I bought a house in the city through an agent and am currently applying for a passport.

In addition, I have contacted someone at Oxford University and chosen to enroll with donation funds. I have passed the selection and am only waiting for the interview to start the new semester. I chose political science." Rose started by reporting her current progress.

"Master, I used some tricks to get a place in the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in Gaul. I want to learn about the military of the modern world. This will help me manage the army of the Kingdom of Oriana in the future." Elizabeth said clearly.

As for the methods she mentioned, don't worry about them.

It's just a Gallic military academy, are you serious?

Originally, Reed wanted to persuade her, but he found that it was unnecessary. After all, even if Elizabeth didn't know about the Gallic tradition of surrender, it would not affect her.

"What about you, Alexia?" After Rose and Elizabeth finished talking, Reed looked at Alexia and asked.

"My identity and passport have been sorted out. But I don't plan on going to school. I plan to travel around the world as a freelance journalist, broaden my horizons, and understand the nature of modern society." Alexia is still young and doesn't have many rights, so she's not as anxious as Rose and Elizabeth.

"It's good that you have a clear goal." Li De nodded.

"Master, what about you here?" Alexia asked curiously.

"I am currently using the identity of a deceased person, and later I plan to set up a company to produce animation for fun." Li De said with a smile.

Of course, this is not done for the purpose of earning a reasonable income or anything like that, it is just to kill time and gain a more appropriate social identity.

Because Li De didn't plan to carry out the mission right away.

It would be bad for Li De to complete the task too early.

It's a rare opportunity to come to the Conan world, and if conditions permit, it would be a wasted trip if we don't try to complete the development of APTX4869.

Although Li De really cannot use this medicine, people in the real world and other mission worlds can use it.

The Diabolos Cult was able to secretly rule the world for more than a thousand years with the Essence of Diabolos. As long as Reed found a substitute, he could replicate this feat.

Moreover, compared to the twelve drops of Diabolos Essence per year, as long as Reed masters the complete version of APTX4869 and develops a version suitable for ordinary people in the real world, the output can be increased.

By then, we will naturally be able to win over more people and build a larger force.

If you want to get the complete version of APTX4869, there are so many things to do.

Therefore, Li De needs enough time, and naturally cannot start the task too early. As for what kind of animation to make, Li De has already thought about it and decided to start with "The Genius Mahjong Girl".

This is one of the few girls' anime that can make Li De feel passionate.

Moreover, mahjong has a wide enough acceptance in Japan, so as long as the production is good, a good start is a must.

It just so happened that he didn’t go to Cheng Tianma Girl’s World this time, so Li De wanted to make up for the regret.

As for giving away the copyright of comics like Kobayashi Ryu did, Li De would not do such a loss-making business.

In fact, when it comes to making money, Li De doesn't care whether it's more or less. He just doesn't want to be exploited by the capitalists. If he is extraordinary but still being exploited by ordinary people, what's the point of being extraordinary, right?

It is also possible to wait until the anime becomes popular before publishing single volumes and BDs.

As for how much less profit he would make compared to normal operations, Li De didn't care at all.

This little money is not even a drop in the bucket for him.

"Is that so, Master? How long can we stay in this world?" Alexia continued to ask.

"I can't answer your question now. I can only come to a definite conclusion after I confirm two things. But even if it's faster, I can give you three years." Li De said after shaking his head.
