The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 529 Scanning a QR code or paying cash?

"What is an ID card?" Zhao Shun asked, scratching the back of his head.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and the way he looked at Wang Xinyao was just like a child asking for advice, completely lacking the majesty of the former founding emperor.

In the eyes of Chen Qingfeng and Zhao Haoxuan, who were used to seeing the divine realm and celestial palaces and possessing extraordinary magical abilities, his ignorant appearance seemed rather "outdated".

Of course, none of them would tell Zhao Shun that during the time they were on earth undergoing trials, such earth-shattering changes had taken place.

These reforms actually originated from Earth, a place without any cultivators.

They were actually shocked and had many questions to ask.

However, they would not say it out loud, for they absolutely could not lose face in front of Zhao Shun, this mortal emperor!

Madam Yu, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Shun with tenderness in her eyes. Although she didn't speak, she listened attentively to every question as if he were asking her.

"Grandpa, this is an identity certificate issued by the state to everyone, which is similar to a household registration document."

As Wang Xinyao spoke, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a card, and handed it to everyone.

"From now on, when we stay in hotels or do business, we will have to rely on it to prove who we are."

This ID card was an essential item she always carried when she was a police officer.

When I was transported to this other world, my phone and I were taken to the ring space.

I thought I'd never have the chance to touch it again in my life, but unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, I've returned to this world that needs it.

She casually took out her phone and pressed a button; the screen lit up and then went dark—no signal!

I reckon the phone card was cancelled, and the internet connection has been cut off for a while.

"Yao'er, none of us have this ID card, what should we do?" Madam Yu frowned, reached out and tugged at the hem of her ancient costume, her tone filled with anxiety.

Zhao Haoxuan patted his chest and chuckled, looking completely unconvinced: "Isn't that simple? We can just conjure up an ID card and it'll work, right?"

"Haoxuan, it's not that easy." Wang Xinyao shook her head and pointed to the numbers on the ID card with her fingertip.

“Each ID card number is unique and recorded in the government system. If no record can be found, it is fake and useless.”

As they were talking, several pedestrians walked by on the roadside, their eyes constantly glancing at them, and whispers drifted over.

"What are these people wearing? It's so hot, why are they dressed so thickly? Are they filming a movie?"

"It looks like an ancient costume, which is quite novel... There are no cameras, so they're probably just setting up the costumes!"

Wang Xinyao's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a hotel to stay in first."

As she spoke, she pulled out another ID card from her pocket and stuffed it into Chen Qingfeng's hand: "Dad, this is your old ID card. Let's go check in first."

"Dad? My ID card?" Chen Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, his lips moved, clearly not yet used to this unfamiliar address, his eyes filled with a bit of confusion.

Wang Xinyao nodded vigorously: "That's right, have you forgotten? Mother once attached a wisp of your soul to my father on Earth, and he looks exactly like you."

Chen Qingfeng then realized what was happening, and his chin immediately rose.

On Earth, he was also a person of status!

Wang Xinyao lowered her voice and instructed, "From now on, we have to call each other according to the rules of this world, so as not to give ourselves away."

Everyone nodded quickly and followed Wang Xinyao into a nearby five-star hotel.

Along the way, their ancient costumes attracted frequent glances from passersby, and some even took out their phones to secretly take pictures, with discussions rising and falling.

Yu Niangzi couldn't help but move closer to Wang Xinyao, appearing somewhat awkward.

Upon entering the hotel lobby, a wave of cool air hits you, a stark contrast to the sweltering heat outside.

Zhao Shun, Yu Niangzi, and the others stared wide-eyed at the dazzling crystal chandelier on the ceiling, the smooth, mirror-like marble floor, and the huge painting hanging on the wall, their faces filled with wonder.

Upon arriving at the front desk, Wang Xinyao walked to a separate counter, handed over her ID card, and said with a smile, "Hello, could you please book a presidential suite?"

Staff member Luo Xiaoyu took the ID card, her fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard for a while, before the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Her tone became somewhat serious: "I'm sorry, ma'am, this ID card has been cancelled, so we can't check in."

"What? It's been cancelled?" Zhao Shun exclaimed anxiously, leaning forward. "How could it be cancelled when everything was fine?"

Chen Qingfeng frowned and looked at Wang Xinyao: "What should we do?"

Wang Xinyao's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, she took out a small dark blue notebook from her bosom and handed it over.

“Miss, this is my police ID. When I was on duty before, everyone thought I had died. I just escaped back and haven’t had time to go to my registered residence to restore my identity.”

Luo Xiaoyu took the police officer's ID and flipped through it, her eyes still filled with doubt. She held the edge of the ID between her fingers and remained silent for a long time.

"Dad, quick, bring me your ID card too!"

Chen Qingfeng handed his ID card to Wang Xinyao.

“Beautiful lady, this is my dad’s ID card!” Wang Xinyao pointed to the computer: “If you don’t believe me, you can search my name and my dad’s name on Baidu. There are news reports and photos of us when we sacrificed our lives.”

Luo Xiaoyu nodded with some doubt, opened her browser and entered the names. Sure enough, related news reports popped up, and the people in the photos looked exactly like Wang Xinyao and Chen Qingfeng in front of her.

"Drug enforcement officers?" Xiao Luo suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with admiration, his voice rising several decibels: "You...you are all drug enforcement officers?"

Wang Xinyao quickly made a shushing gesture and lowered her voice: "Please keep our identities a secret, otherwise there will be danger, you know... Just call me Sister Wang."

"Yes, Sister Wang!" She nodded quickly, a sincere smile on her face. "My name is Luo Xiaoyu, you can just call me Xiao Luo. I'll process your check-in as a special case, please wait a moment!"

Narcotics officers face the most dangerous job of all police officers, and the woman in front of him, who looked even younger than him, turned out to be a hero who sacrificed her life many years ago.

She quickly started working on the computer, and soon picked up a room key and asked in a low voice, "Sister Wang, the presidential suite costs six thousand eight hundred yuan a night. How long do you want to stay?"

"Let's book for twenty days first."

"So, Sister Wang, will you be scanning a QR code or paying cash?"

Wang Xinyao touched her empty pockets and her phone, which was temporarily unable to transfer money, and her mind began to work at lightning speed.

Cash and electronic payments are no longer possible, and bank cards have long been cancelled.

The fastest way to solve this problem right now is...

She thought of the mountain of gold ingots in her spatial ring and sighed inwardly.

That's all we can do. It's eye-catching, but it solves our immediate problem.

Thinking of this, she took out a piece of gold from her bosom and placed it on the counter.
