Or perhaps, both conditions must be met simultaneously?
But at least, now, a distance of five meters was completely sufficient for Qi Jun!
So, Qi Jun ran quickly, while giving the command to retrieve 'Golden Glow' in his mind.
The advantage of mental control was truly immense; with just a thought, the [Mutated Gem] would arrange everything perfectly for you!
He quickly ran a lap, collecting all the 'Golden Glow' that had been touched by Big Daddy and Hit-Girl.
Taking advantage of the last two minutes remaining on the 'Stalker Sunglasses,' he used its mystical properties to brush past a large group of Hell's Kitchen gangsters who had come to check the results, quickly disappearing from Hell's Kitchen... He took a taxi back to Chinatown, and this time he wasn't even 'questioned' by the police.
Qi Jun couldn't help but curl his lips at this; going out—checking, coming in—no checking, this was simply invisible discrimination!
But Qi Jun was too lazy to bother, and went straight back to the small motel he had been staying at.
As a good citizen, Qi Jun wouldn't waste the room he had paid for at the small motel by not staying there.
Well, actually, Qi Jun was afraid that staying elsewhere might reveal flaws, which would be bad.
After all, the more upscale the hotel, the more advanced the hidden surveillance equipment installed, and trying to find them with just a mobile phone camera was simply a joke.
Ever since transmigrating to this world, especially to the Marvel world, Qi Jun had been in a constant state of high alert.
It was best to avoid leaving any flaws whenever possible.
Even though he could rely on the [Mutated Gem] to eliminate those flaws, were energy points free?
Hmm, well, they really were freebies.
But even if they were freebies, they still consumed Qi Jun's energy, and he absolutely couldn't waste them like that!
He closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and once again took out his Huawei P30 phone, using the previous technique to scan the room again.
After confirming that no surveillance equipment was found, Qi Jun finally relaxed and flopped onto the soft bed with a thud.
Looking at the 21.5 energy points displayed in his mind, Qi Jun smiled like an idiot.
One must know that before entering Hell's Kitchen, Qi Jun had used up all his energy; now, having an extra 21.5 points showed how rich he was!
Plus the 3 points used earlier to materialize a biological tracking chip, which surpassed Earth's technology, to locate Hit-Girl.
That night, Qi Jun had indeed acquired a whopping 24.5 energy points!
With the [Mutated Gem] deducting half and calculating backwards, this meant he had recovered a total of forty-nine warm corpses!
Forty-nine people died all at once; Hell's Kitchen's notorious reputation for chaos and danger was indeed well-deserved!
So, how should he use so many energy points?
Qi Jun suddenly found himself in a delightful dilemma... Of course, before dealing with these energy points, there were still some loose ends to tie up.
Identity issues!
Previously, due to insufficient energy points, he could only temporarily create an identity with a tourist visa.
However, after a tourist visa expired, he would have to return, otherwise he would become an illegal immigrant and be arrested!
Now, it was time to solve this problem once and for all.
First, change his identity to an immigrant from the ancient Eastern country to Chinatown, New York, Federal America.
Oh? There's also an address issue? How troublesome!
However, this was also simple: first, use 0.5 energy to materialize a top-spec Huawei laptop, connect to the internet that had been activated after the small motel's power supply was restored, and select a small apartment in Chinatown that was for sale online.
Using the [Mutated Gem]'s ability to alter reality, he spent 0.5 energy points to transfer ownership of this house to himself.
Of course, Qi Jun didn't just take someone else's property; while changing the house's ownership through the [Mutated Gem], Qi Jun also added an equivalent amount of US dollars to the original owner's account through the [Mutated Gem].
Spending 1.5 energy points (mainly to modify the memories of relevant personnel), the funds modified through the [Mutated Gem] were completely legal and legitimate, so there was no need to worry about the 'vicious dogs' (tax authorities) of the US Federal government.
Thus, by spending a total of 2.5 energy points, Qi Jun officially owned a legal property in the United States.
Next, modify the memories of the few police officers who had seen him.
Because the number of people was small, and it was only changing the tourist visa in the law enforcement recorder and their memories to a legal green card, it was completely A-OK!
Of course, because it involved living humans, who were worth several energy points.
This round of modifications by Qi Jun cost another 3 energy points!
Finally, for insurance, Qi Jun also spent 2 energy points to add some virtual memories to the relevant personnel in the distant ancient Eastern country at the address on Qi Jun's ID card through the [Mutated Gem].
As for why he didn't directly change his identity to a 'native-born' American citizen?
Perhaps it was due to the transmigration, or perhaps it was because Qi Jun couldn't truly accept being a 'native-born' American citizen deep down?
In short, all at once, Qi Jun's energy point reserves instantly dropped from 21.5 to 14 points!
...However, looking at the previous passport, tourist visa, and so on, disappearing with a 'bang,' and then a pile of green cards, driver's licenses, bank cards, credit cards, and other items appearing out of thin air, Qi Jun's face finally showed a happy smile.
His identity was completely resolved; now, he could rest easy.
No longer did he have to constantly worry that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would suddenly appear and say, "You're an illegal immigrant; come with us to the bureau!"
Lying on the bed, after a series of exciting events, his mind suddenly relaxed.
Before long, Qi Jun drifted straight into dreamland.
In his dream, Qi Jun seemed to see himself completely controlling the [Mutated Gem], becoming a super big shot in the entire Marvel universe, and even across all realms, truly magnificent!
Chapter Twelve: Experimenting with the [Reality Gem]'s Hidden Function!
He slept soundly until dawn.
Qi Jun was woken up by the noisy chatter of people.
After washing up, standing by the window and looking at the bustling and prosperous scene of people coming and going in Chinatown, Qi Jun couldn't help but sigh.
