How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 20 Steam Taxi

"Here is your identification, take it."

When the guard lady came back, she held a light brown booklet and a brass-colored metal card in her hands.

The booklet is Yun Mu's identity certificate, similar in nature to the household registration book on Earth, while the brass-colored metal card is something like an ID card.

"Yun Mu?"

This is the name registered on her ID card, not the cat mentioned before.

Instead, the two words Yunduo and Hehe were separated, and one was used as a name and the other as a surname.

According to the format on the identity certificate, her first name is Yun and Mu is her surname.

This is probably why the other party called her 'Miss Yun' just now.

"Okay."

At least it looked better than the cat, so Yun Mu happily accepted it.

As for the fact that her last name and first name are reversed, she doesn't plan to change it. Firstly, she doesn't know how long it will take to change her name. Secondly, if she changes her name, her name will become Mu Yun, and she will still feel that awkward.

The most important thing is that there is no point in changing it.

The fact that she can still retain her name from her previous life after time travel is enough.

Yun Mu thanked the guard lady and then put her identity certificate and ID card away.

"From today on, we are also official citizens with certificates!" She said happily.

Before leaving the guard hall, she asked the guard lady for information about the woman with scarlet eyes.

"I'm just the receptionist who handles the certificate. How do I know?" the other party replied.

"Ok."

Yun Mu didn't know whether the other party really didn't know, or whether he was pretending not to know.

She looked around in the hall on the first floor and didn't see any familiar figure, so she had no choice but to leave the guard hall.

After leaving the guard hall, she reached out and stopped a steam taxi.

"Go to the Painting Association." Yun Mu said to the driver after getting into the back seat of the taxi.

Her original plan was to go to the bathhouse to take a bath after getting her identity certificate from the security hall, and then go to the Painting Association to see if there was any way to make money.

But after a rough calculation, she felt that the money on hand was not as abundant as she imagined.

Before she could find a stable job to make money, it would be better for her to save a little.

"Two silver frost coins." The taxi driver said after hearing Yun Mu's destination.

"So expensive?"

Yun Mu, who was riding a steam taxi for the first time, took out two silver frost coins from his coat and handed them to the other party.

If she didn't know where the Painting Association was, she wouldn't have taken this extremely expensive steam taxi.

Although the taxi was indeed fast and the environment inside the car was much more comfortable than outside, it was still a bit too expensive for her.

After all, this is not an earth where vehicles are widely popularized. As an emerging product, steam cars are only a luxury item that only a few people have.

The groups that steam taxis are interested in are those who can't afford a car but have some spare money, as well as rich people who have money but can't drive. They try to gradually replace the position of horse-drawn carriages among the middle class.

Of course Yun Mu could also find a carriage, but she had just stood on the street waiting for a long time, and in the end she only waited for this steam taxi.

I don’t know how long it will take if I continue to wait, just think of it as a new experience.

After all, she was really curious about how it would feel to sit in a steam-driven car.

"Sit still."

After receiving the two silver frost coins from Yun Mu, the taxi driver pulled the shift lever with his hand and gently pressed the valve with his foot.

Accompanied by the powerful roar of the steam engine, the scenery on both sides of the car quickly reversed.

Yun Mu sat in the car and mentally noted the location where the taxi passed. As long as she remembered where the painting association was, she wouldn't have to spend the unjust money the next time she came.

"arrive."

For about the past eight minutes or so, as the roar of the steam engine gradually died down, the taxi driver's words reached her inner ear canal.

"OK, thanks."

Yun Mu came to his senses, gently opened the door and walked out of the warm taxi. After she closed the door, the soft yellow steam taxi in front of her quickly left.

"It feels like there's no difference."

Looking at the steam taxi going away, Yun Mu shook his head and said.

She turned around and looked at the six-story building in front of her, with an attic above the top floor.

"Frostfall City Painters Association."

"It means there are other cities too."

Yun Mu pushed open the slightly thick wooden door, and was greeted by a wave of warm air.

There seemed to be quite a lot of people inside. After she opened the door, many people looked towards her.

Yun Mu also noticed a young man wearing only a thin shirt inside the house. After she opened the door, the young man was hit by the cold air outside and shivered with cold.

"Young man's body is a little weak, and he won't be able to survive just being blown by the cold wind." Yun Mu teased the other person in his heart.

She closed the door with her backhand, then looked around and walked to the only counter in the hall.

"Hello, may I help you?"

Standing behind the counter, a woman wearing a standard black and white waiter outfit looked at Yun Mudao softly.

"I would like to ask, as long as you can draw, you can get a job here, right?"

I'm here to find a job.
  The female waiter looked Yun Mu up and down, then said with a smile: "That's right, but we need to test your painting skills first."

"How to test?" Yun Mu asked.

"You just need to draw, no matter what you draw, we will have specialized reviewers to judge your level."

"Okay." Yun Mu nodded: "Can you start now?"

"No problem, but we need to register your information first." The female waiter took out a form from under the counter and asked her: "Do you have proof of identity?"

"Bring it." Yun Mu nodded.

Fortunately, Lita was right. If you want to register as a painter with the Painting Association, you must bring proof of identity.

Yun Mu took out the pamphlet with her personal information from her arms and handed it to the female waiter in front of her.

The other party gave her a strange look, but didn't say anything. After taking the booklet, she filled in the form one by one according to the content above.

"All right."

After filling out the information on the form, the female waiter handed her her identification along with the form she had just filled out.

"Just take this form and go to the drawing room on the second floor to find Mr. Si Zin."

"Row."

Yun Mu took the identity certificate and form, and then walked along the spiral staircase in the lobby on the first floor towards the second floor of the Painters Association.

After she left, some small discussions sounded in the hall on the first floor.

"Wow, I didn't expect that our Frostfall City Painters Association would also have new members one day."

This is a surprised girl.

"I think she looks so cute. I really want to go up and make friends."

This is a young man rubbing a pimple on his arm.

"Humph, what's the use of being cute? It's not certain whether you can get certified as a painter."

This is a painting fiend with a single-minded mind.

　PS: The first steam car was invented on June 4197, 6 in the Herald calendar.

　　The inventor is a human male. It is said that he originally just wanted to make a steam popcorn machine that could be moved at any time.

　　The reason why the waitress at the front desk looked at Yun Mu strangely.

　　It's because she only needs Yun Mu's ID card, and the contents on the form only need to be dictated.

　　She was just a little curious as to why Yun Mu carried the identification pamphlet with him.

　　Just like when you go to an Internet bar and the boss asks you for your ID card, you give him your household registration book.
