I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Nanping City, Four Seas Inn.

After bidding farewell to Chen Ying and asking her to handle her deceased father's funeral affairs first before returning, Chu Shen devoted all his energy to studying the suddenly appearing virtual screen, or rather... the system.

Although this thing had been silent except for displaying a few lines of text, he knew that this might be his greatest reliance in the future at the Dongxuan Heaven.

"What does 'cause and effect' mean? Does it refer to opportunities and adventures?"

"Why did I only discover it after meeting Chen Ying? Why is there still a question mark behind her identity? Does it mean she has some hidden identity? Could it be that this hidden identity is what makes her the trigger for cause and effect?"

"What is 'spiritual essence'?"

"What about destiny? Right, there is a term in destiny called 'innately good nature.' This term is generally used to describe a person's character. Does destiny refer to Chen Ying's personality and moral qualities?"

"Establishing a connection... Does it mean branching out and having descendants? Getting married and having children?"

"What could 'pure dust and primordial brilliance' be?"

Chu Shen muttered to himself, one question after another.

After this damn system provided a series of texts, it didn't even give any extra hints. He could only rely on his own guesswork to understand the meanings implied by the words. He certainly had some personal insights, but he didn't dare to draw conclusions rashly.

What if these specialized terms had some unique meanings and he misunderstood them, causing some extremely disastrous misunderstandings? That would be a disaster.

Like establishing a connection and so on.

A 70% compatibility... If it really meant what he personally understood, he would be unable to comprehend it and would even suspect that there was something wrong with the system—how could someone as handsome as him have such a high compatibility with Chen Ying, a country girl?

Isn't this a case of a hidden gem being wasted?

"Oh system, why are you so troublesome?"

Chu Shen sighed, full of frustration and anger towards the system's lack of humanity.

Just then, a voice from outside the door of the Four Seas Inn called out, "Excuse me, is Master Chu inside?"

Chu Shen composed himself and replied, "I'm here, what's the matter?"

The voice continued, "Yaya from the Tooth Agency is here to see you. He says the matter you entrusted to him has been taken care of and he has come to report back."

Chu Shen's face brightened and he said, "Let him in!"

The Tooth Agency was a middleman, and the Tooth people were intermediaries. This profession was extremely complex, with few good people, but many things had to be entrusted to them.

For example, procedural matters such as identity and household registration, finding suitable assets to purchase in the city, and gathering various types of information.

Chu Shen was a stranger in this place, having just arrived a few days ago. He hadn't even figured out which direction the city gates of Nanping City opened. Without the assistance of the Tooth people, many things would be difficult to accomplish.

Fortunately, this Yaya was not an experienced hand either. As a newly graduated rookie, this was the most difficult time for him. Chu Shen's business was an important opportunity for him to open up the market and establish a reputation. He was much more flexible than those old hands, didn't overcharge, and was proactive and enthusiastic in his work.

"Master Chu, I am honored to fulfill your request!"

After the young Tooth Agency newcomer entered, he excitedly took out a wooden box from his bag and held it up with both hands, presenting it to Chu Shen.

Chu Shen took it and opened the wooden box. Inside were a booklet made of wooden slips, a talisman, and a small seal.

The booklet was called a household certificate, somewhat similar to a modern household registration book. It was an official document issued by the Nanping City government, representing that he now had a household registration in Nanping City.

The talisman was called an identification card, which recorded his appearance, place of origin, and other personal information. It was his personal identification.

With these two items, it meant that he had been accepted by the Great Yan Xian Dynasty, which Nanping City belonged to, and had officially become a legal member of this country, no longer an illegal resident.

As for that small seal, it is the most special among the three items. It is called Zhu Jing and combines various functions such as a business license, passport, and bank card.

With this item, one can engage in activities such as purchasing shops, cross-regional trade, going abroad, and obtaining services from money houses (similar to banks). It is also recognized as a universal token by most countries and sects.

Given the importance of Zhu Jing, it is even considered a mass-produced magical tool. Although it only has the extremely rudimentary function of proving the identity of the seal holder, it still commands a high price.

In order to obtain this item, Chu Shen spent a full twenty taels of silver!

"That's great! I really troubled my friend Yu today. Let's celebrate together as I treat you!"

Having obtained the item, it does not mean that Chu Shen can just sit back and relax. There are still many things that Yu Ya Zi needs to take care of. He cannot let the other party's enthusiasm cool down.

Yu Ya Zi is also willing to establish a good relationship with his first client. After some feigned refusal, he agrees half-heartedly.

He has the inn send a table of sumptuous feast to the guest room. Chu Shen and Yu Ya Zi toast to each other and finally discuss the details of their future cooperation.

"Friend Yu, now that I have settled my household registration, I still haven't found a place to settle down and establish my industry. I wonder where in the vast Nanping City would be suitable for me to settle and invest?"

After drinking two cups, Yu Ya Zi's face turns slightly red, but his enthusiasm is high. "Master Chu, in the past few days, besides handling your household registration, I have also been inquiring about available houses, shops, and properties in the city. I have found a few places that might be suitable for your reference..."

As he speaks, he tells Chu Shen about his findings in detail.

In fact, there are quite a few options to choose from. Mainly because the Great Yan Dynasty has been unlucky in recent years, with constant natural disasters and man-made calamities. Although Nanping City is relatively peaceful in the southern border, it has also been affected to some extent. Many households and businesses have gone bankrupt under various circumstances, resulting in a considerable number of assets that need to be dealt with.

However, most of these assets do not belong to the core assets of Nanping City and are somewhat off the beaten path. After Chu Shen learns the locations, he hesitates for a while, weighing his options.

Yu Ya Zi is aware of this and patiently waits for Chu Shen's decision.

In the end, after careful inquiry and consideration, Chu Shen sets aside some funds as reserves and selects several assets with a total value of 120 taels.

Yu Ya Zi is naturally overjoyed. A business worth over a hundred taels is nothing to those golden plaque tooth people, but for him as a newcomer, it is already a big deal. Just the commission alone can earn him several taels!

The chest was patted loudly, indicating that Chu Shen would definitely help acquire the desired assets.

The two of them drank a few more glasses and had a pleasant conversation. The banquet was coming to an end.

Suddenly, Yu Yazhi slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to mention something to Master Chu."

Chu Shen was in a good mood at the moment and casually asked, "What is it?"

Yu Yazhi smiled awkwardly and said, "This matter was originally a private affair of Master Chu. However, when I was handling things for Master Chu, I had to answer truthfully to the inquiries from the government office, which caused some trouble for Master Chu."

Chu Shen frowned slightly. He disliked trouble and asked, "Tell me."

Yu Yazhi said, "Master Chu reported his age as twenty-six, right?"

"That's correct. What's the matter?"

"Are you still unmarried?"

"Uh, no..." Chu Shen, the single dog, felt a bit attacked by this question.

Yu Yazhi smiled awkwardly and said, "In that case, Master Chu needs to hurry up with important matters in life. The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty has regulations in the household law that require men to marry by the age of twenty at the latest, and women by the age of eighteen at the latest. Those who remain unmarried after the deadline of one year will be fined five hundred wen, those who remain unmarried after two years will be fined one liang, and those who remain unmarried after three years will be forcibly married by the government."

"Master Chu's age... is a bit too old. It has already exceeded the law by six years. Therefore, the government office asked me to deliver a message to you. You will not be subject to the law that requires government-arranged marriage after three years. If you are not married within two months, you must participate in the government-arranged marriage ceremony two months later."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shen's pupils dilated, and he was completely stunned.

He never expected to encounter this after becoming a citizen!
