The Secret Life Of A Deity

Ch 06. Renting a New Apartment

Li Hanshen had just finished making his ID card. Just thinking about how long he had lined up for her ID photo shoot alone made his sick. Tens of people lined up and he got the last serial number, wishing he could destroy that ugly building.

"Alright... Since everything is done, then so be it. With this ID card, things will be much easier anyway. As for the birth card and other important documents, I'll just have someone else make them. It's too tiring to do it alone..." muttered Li Hanshen.

Given that he now had a lot of money, leaving the completion of important documents to someone else shouldn't be a problem.

He raised his head up to the sky to see a yellowish purplish sky which marked the afternoon. It doesn't feel like he spent almost half a day taking care of his new ID card.

Considering he was still living in a hotel, he decided to find a simple apartment for him and Yu Mei. Luckily the hotel he was staying at was in a new area, meaning a lot of new apartments were built.

Li Hanshen visited one of the apartment agents in the area near his inn. As he stepped inside, the fairly ordinary interior of the stall greeted him along with a middle-aged woman wearing after-workout, looking so comfortable.

"Welcome! Young man, did you come to see the apartment rental list?" the middle-aged woman asked Li Hanshen. His pair of eyes scanned Li Hanshen for a moment, looking appraising.

After a while, he said again, "we have some very new apartments and you're sure to love them. Come here, have a look at the designs first..."

Li Hanshen simply followed the middle-aged woman's lead. The woman opened a large book that described the interior and exterior designs of the apartment that was currently empty. Li Hanshen looked through everything carefully, there were many apartments with the kind of design he thought were good, so it was quite difficult to just decide on one.

"How about it? Which one do you like? Don't worry, I can give you 20 percent off for the first three months!" The middle-aged woman looked so persistent as if she was forcing Li Hanshen to rent the apartment unit under her wing.

"Thank you, aunt. Then I want this one..." Li Hanshen replied pointing to one of the pictures showing the interior design of the apartment with a homely feel.

"Ah? You picked a good unit, boy! This one was just finished and has the feel of a home rather than an apartment, and few people pay attention to it. But as for the annual rent, I'm afraid you'll have to consult your parents. The price is slightly higher than the other units, of course the 20 percent discount still applies to you."

Li Hanshen didn't give an answer right away, he looked again at the image printed on the paper. He did not deny that he liked luxury, but considering that it was only him and Yu Mei left, he would rather buy over rent a modest place. But that doesn't mean it's cheap, Li Hanshen certainly chose the best unit in its ranks.

"No problem. Can we have a look at the apartment unit today?" Li Hanshen asked.

The middle-aged woman immediately smiled, seeing the young man in front of her not hesitate at all, it meant that he would definitely rent one of her apartment units. Although she wanted to know where did the young man get so much money despite his obviously young age, maybe in his 20s? Or even younger than that.

But that's none of his business at all. She was only in charge of renting out the apartment that the other party had entrusted to him.

"All right... Follow me!"

Li Hanshen followed the middle-aged woman a short distance from the agent's stall. After walking for about 7 minutes, the two of them finally arrived in front of a fairly tall building that should have been an apartment building.

"This is an apartment building that just finished construction last year. Its strategic location and easily accessible by various groups make it a favorite apartment. Other agents also rent out several apartments from this building and almost all of them are already occupied. I only have 3 slots left for the building this apartment, and the unit you picked up happen to be the best of the other two. Come on in, you'll definitely like the interior design of the unit after seeing it in person."

Li Hanshen only nodded his head briefly, he followed right behind the middle-aged woman. The two of them arrived at the 7th floor which was actually quite high. The building itself has a total of 20 fairly high floors, and each floor accommodates two quite spacious apartment units. There are at least a total of 38 apartment units in the building, because there are no apartment units on the first floor.

After Ou Jian escorted the prospective tenant right to the front of the apartment unit, she immediately took out the apartment access card and opened the apartment door. "Come in..." She said as the apartment door opened.

When Li Hanshen entered the apartment, all he saw was an empty room with a beautiful view of the city as the opening. The young man entered every room while examining every corner carefully.

'No wonder why this unit is quite expensive even though its design seems simple...' Li Hanshen muttered in his heart.

With just one glance, the materials used for the construction of the apartments are indeed above average so that the defense will be sturdy and long lasting. Even though the design is simple, it doesn't detract from the beauty of the interior, proof that the architect who designed it thought the design very carefully.

"How? You like the apartment?" asked Ou Jian.

"I like it. I think I can move here tomorrow..." Li Hanshen looked at Ou Jian, "auntie, I will rent this place!"

And that's how Li Hanshen finally decided to rent an apartment instead of continuing to live in a hotel which of course cost a lot per day. As an extraordinary person who wants to live like an ordinary person, he must be able to manage spending money and sort out what he can do as an ordinary human being.

After receiving the apartment access card after paying a year's rent of only 20,000 yuan, he returned to his hotel lodging and told Yu Mei that he had rented an apartment they could live in.

On the other hand, Yu Mei also told Li Hanshen the process of the share handover letter that she did in Huatian Jewelry without missing a single detail. He also gave Li Hanshen a large suitcase filled with 8.5 million yuan, the payment for the diamonds they sold yesterday.

"With all this money and the shares of Huatian Jewelry, living a life like an ordinary human has started to materialize. To humans, money is everything, and this much money can guarantee both of us not to use our abilities," Li Hanshen smiled.

Having a lot of money in another sense means that he doesn't need to use his power too much. Like making diamonds or gold ingots, because now he has money.

Indeed, for Li Hanshen, he would live the life of an ordinary human who really didn't know anything about Spiritual Qi or anything like that, and having a lot of money was essential for his goals to be accomplished without the interference of magic.

“But master, I want to know why you want to live like an ordinary human, when I'm sure all living existences in the entire universe want to live like you. I really don't understand why you so insistently want to be like an ordinary human…” Yu Mei asked looked very surprised and confused.

She, who had only been a cultivator for one day, couldn't help but want to use her powers to make things easier, such as flying or diving into the bottom of the water without worrying about suffocation. But Li Hanshen, the one who had created her, wanted to live an ordinary life?

"I don't want to bother using my power for the benefit of others. In the eyes of the Gods, the universe and its contents are their responsibility, they bear everything when there's really no need for it. They're just wasting their energy on some sentient beings who don't even notice their existence. The reason I cultivate is none other than because I want to protect myself, not to rule the world. You think that after conquering the universe everything is done? No, you have to take care of many things for the universe to run as it should, and I'm lazy to do it all of that. It would be better for me to become an ordinary human than to have to become such an existence. Of course if you want to become like the Gods, I won't stop you," he explained at length.

The Ultimate Supreme God realm was definitely the last realm on the path of cultivation that only he and perhaps the Creator now belonged to. However, even though the two of them are in the same realm, it does not mean that they will take the same path. While the Creator was busy arranging the order of the universe, Li Hanshen preferred to relax and enjoy his life as an ordinary human.

Of course Li Hanshen could destroy the Creator to make the highest position in the Universe fall to him, but why should he do it? There was no reason for him to oppose the Creator.

He just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life, already.

Yu Mei who heard that only nodded her head in understanding. Secretly a flash of admiration flashed from the depths of her eyes for Li Hanshen.

'As expected of my creator, he is amazing!' She thought.
