Coming out of the shower, feeling freshened up completely, Shi Tian took out his Cellos device.
He had exchanged contact with Isaac Aaronax when he told him to take a few days off so that he would be informed whenever his fake identification card was ready.
An identification card was a convenient tool but also an expensive tool to obtain from the government.
After all, with the identification card, one could skip the process of having their barcode scanned and only needed to be checked whether they have been infected by the pollution or other harmful substance in the inspection site.
Not only does it save a lot of time, but it was also the greatest tool for a person who didn’t wish to be registered into the database system.
Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising that identification cards are hard to obtain and needed to have a certain authority to get one. It was also because of the high difficulty to get one that Krissie didn’t bother explaining this particular solution either.
Shi Tian himself had proclaimed to be a foreigner, and no government would be foolish enough to give a foreigner such an important tool to utilize.
Hence, Krissie didn’t assume Shi Tian would have authority enough to convince the government to provide him one, considering how he was even plotting how to sneakily enter previously.
And glancing at the text message that Isaac Aaronax had sent him, Shi Tian was even more suspicious of his true identity.
“It’s only been a few days truly and he was able to provide me with a fake identification card. Just how much power does he actually have?” Shi Tian mumbled in confusion.
In the text message, Isaac Aaronax informed him that the identification card was ready and that he would have 2 days to prepare.
And since Shi Tian had already agreed to be in cahoot with Isaac Aaronax, worrying about his actual identity would be pointless.
Thus, he quickly replied to Isaac Aaronax with a quick text of an “okay”, and closed his Cellos device.
Wiping his wet hair with a small towel, Shi Tian realized that he couldn’t relax yet.
Now that the waiting time was over for the identification card, he now had to wait another 2 days to prepare himself.
And it was a good thing Isaac Aaronax allowed him some time to prepare because it wouldn’t be good to rush him the instant they had everything ready.
With time ticking down, Shi Tian needed to reorganize his priority. The nurturing of the mutated dust mites shall continue, alongside the crafting of Blv-21.
However, the studying of the Dimension Ring shall be placed on hold and replaced with fixing the refrigerator and stocking up enough food for Vanessa.
Of course, he could have just said screw it all and leave her hanging, but since he had taken a lot of advantage from her, it was better to just help her this little bit. Otherwise, he would truly embody the definition of a ruthless and coldhearted person.
Walking back to his room and changing into a new set of clothes, Shi Tian began to search for screwdrivers and some electric parts for replacement.
Now that his attainment in mechanics had risen up, he was confident in fixing the refrigerator.
Sometime later, Shi Tian unplugged the power cable of the refrigerator, effectively shutting it down, and began to disassemble the parts one by one.
And despite trying to be discreet and make as little noise as possible, it was crystal clear that fixing the refrigerator was quite noisy.
So noisy that even Vanessa was unable to handle it any longer and had to take a sneak peek to check what Shi Tian was up to again.
To her astonishment, she saw him diligently inspecting the refrigerator and unscrewing some of the parts.
It didn’t even take a few seconds more for her to understand why Shi Tian was fixing the refrigerator now.
There was only one plausible reason why he would be fixing the refrigerator now when he doesn’t even use it.
And that was to store food for her in the upcoming days, meaning he was about to head out to the wilderness.
After all, no matter how Shi Tian called her naive or innocent, at the very least, he had never actually called her stupid.
She simply chose to be ignorant of some parts, and after multiple days of thinking, she had come to realize that Shi Tian was teaching her a valuable lesson to stop thinking that the outside world would treat her the same as she did in her previous comfy life.
It was a lesson that advised her to never fully trust someone even if they seemed amicable on the surface and that you get along with them quite dearly. In this time and age, people would easily change their faces the moment a benefit surpassed the value of their friendship.
Though the price of receiving such a lesson was truly paid at an exorbitant price which was the Dimension Ring.
Despite understanding the lesson, accepting it were two different things as mentioned previously, and she was still holding quite a grudge at him for swindling her Dimension Ring.
Her Dimension Ring was clearly worth more than this particular lesson in her mind and that Shi Tian merely used it as a pretext to take it from her.
Whenever she thought up to this part, she could only bite her lip resentfully, refusing to acknowledge him again. .
Thus, she was merely standing by the door, silently watching Shi Tian fixing the refrigerator.
‘Call me petty or annoying, but I’m the actual victim here to be constantly losing stuff to you. It wouldn’t hurt your pride if you would just apologize and make amends, right?’ Vanessa thought to herself.
Truth be told, she was actually quite joyful to have met Shi Tian during her time of crisis because the people she had met would always treat her dearly or faked kindness to get on her good book.
