The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 63: Think It Over Carefully

On the streets of Chenxi District, Li Chuchu walked with a bouncing step and a smile on her face, her ponytail swaying joyfully in the air, as if joy was in the atmosphere.

"Boss, you seem to be in a good mood?" Lin Hao asked.

"Yeah, I just got an investment!"

"How did you pull that off?"

"I made a cup of tea for my dear mother using our shop’s tea powder that hasn’t launched yet. She took a sip and had high hopes for our shop’s future, willing to invest her entire dowry for us."

"Her entire dowry?"

"Yes, her entire dowry."

"Isn’t that a bit much?"

"I think so too. That’s why I told her to invest just a portion of it, not the whole thing. What if our business doesn’t do well and we lose all her dowry? That would be a problem.

Also, Lin Hao, you don’t know my dad. He can be quite childish and hard to deal with sometimes. If my mom ever decides she’s done with his bad temper and wants a divorce, it’s going to be a hassle if she doesn’t have money."

"So?"

"So I just took a bit of investment, and now we can manage the business activities on our commercial street!"

Lin Hao: Boss, you might have misunderstood the concept of a small investment.

"Enough about me, what about you?" Li Chuchu asked with her hands behind her, bouncing around.

"I’m okay, I just acknowledged a teacher and learned some swordsmanship," Lin Hao stated flatly.

"Will you still come by?"

Lin Hao thought about Mr. Hua’s overwhelming enthusiasm. Despite being fully grey-haired, the old man warmly and respectfully called him master...

In crowded places, it would be quite odd, easily attracting attention from others.

And Lin Hao didn’t like being the center of attention.

"I won’t be coming back. I was just curious about swordsmanship, but I’ve realized I don’t particularly like it and have no talent for it."

"Oh, I was going to introduce you to a grandpa. I hadn’t thought about it initially. Speaking of which, that grandpa is related to you, he’s Mr. Hua’s real grandfather... You wouldn’t know; he’s excellent in swordsmanship. He’s the chief judge at the chenxi district elderly swordsmanship competition!"

The two moved from discussing Lin Hao’s swordsmanship to the management direction of the milk tea shop, and then on to the recent online popular topic of the workers’ gospel White Impermanence, and finally to whether there might be Extraordinary Powers in this world...

"I’m not a kid. I’m a mature adult, not someone who makes baseless fantasies. If Extraordinary Powers really existed in this world, they’d have been discovered by now," Li Chuchu laughed.

Li Chuchu’s inner thought: This world does have Extraordinary Powers, I know many grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts, and siblings who possess them... but I can’t tell the ordinary people about it.

"I agree, all that Extraordinary stuff is just nonsense," Lin Hao chimed in.

Lin Hao’s inner thought: What’s so good about ordinary Extraordinary Powers? The supernatural powers in this world are too simplistic, not as diverse as cultivation.

The two left Chenxi District while casually chatting.

As they got into a taxi and planned to head back to the shop, they saw a group of people ahead.

...

Lin Hao swept his Divine Thought across them and found a regular customer from the milk tea shop among them——

Xiao Shuai!

Xiao Shuai was one of those distributing flyers, and he politely tapped on the car window.

Lin Hao rolled down the window, and Xiao Shuai handed in the flyer:

"Please understand the harm of overtime... Oh, it’s Teacher Lin!"

Xiao Shuai recognized Lin Hao, who made the milk tea, and felt a bit delighted.

"What’s going on?" Seeing someone he knew, Lin Hao pointed outside and asked.

"This is an event organized by our company. Our main business is creating merchandise around Lord White Impermanence and promoting his deeds..."

Lin Hao felt a bit lost listening to this.

Ever since White Impermanence appeared, discussions about him online remained steadily popular.

After all...

White Impermanence’s "working" hours to help people with overtime have been quite regular.

Aside from the times Lin Hao summoned White Impermanence to protect himself, White Impermanence was mostly out helping with overtime!

By now, White Impermanence should have a strong sense of belief among his fans...

All things considered, besides the Spiritual Power bestowed daily by White Impermanence, the chanting and incense offerings, while often profane, also contribute to his powers.

However...

As the summoner of the White Impermanence Avatar, I never considered creating a brand image for him, so why has someone taken a business angle involving White Impermanence?

This, I summon the White Impermanence Avatar, you make money?

"Who’s your boss?" Lin Hao asked, curious to know who was thinking about profiting from White Impermanence’s avatar.

"Our boss is super nice! He shares his name’s meaning — Zhen Haoren. He rarely gets involved in company management and lets us employees take the initiative."

"Zhen Haoren?"

"Why, do you know him, Teacher Lin?"

Saying this, Xiao Shuai pulled out his phone from his pocket, opened a photo of his boss, and handed it to Lin Hao.

Hmm...

What a coincidence!

He indeed knows him!

What a unique fate...

Mind you, Lin Hao’s circle of acquaintance is actually quite small.

For Lin Hao to know someone—it must be some kind of fate...

This person is currently locked in the City Management Team’s confinement room.

Lin Hao knows that whenever he has nothing to do, he’d stir the other side’s emotions. Now it’s said, Zhen Haoren is always smiling and cheerful every day...

But Zhen Haoren has been caught, so why is his company still running?

Could it be the City Management Team’s covert operation?

Yadan told me before, the City Management Team’s captain loves fishing...

"Is this your boss?"

"Yeah, that’s definitely our boss. Teacher Lin, looks like you know our boss. Have you seen him lately?"

"Haven’t seen him."

"Alright, if you do see him, could you let him know to return to the company to handle things?"

As the crowd headed elsewhere, Xiao Shuai finished their small talk and continued enthusiastically distributing flyers.

"Oh! We don’t know where the boss went, made some money recently but don’t know how to use it. Should we increase publicity, buy more supplies, or maybe give everyone some bonuses, or should he take back some costs...

It’s really annoying. This whole situation is something the boss should be handling, why is it becoming the employees’ problem...

Not being able to reach the boss, the team just brainstormed themselves, well, the company’s direction is set by the team, why can’t we decide how to spend the money earned by the company?

Employees, utilize your initiative, be the owner of the company, the boss... is just someone paying out."

...

"Think it through guys, if we work hard, we’re definitely getting out of here!"

Though an Internet Troll wouldn’t associate with those who’ve lost their will to fight, still...

He wouldn’t abandon any living force.

——He felt, when his Contained Object started being active, it was immediately suppressed!

His Contained Object became lively, started operating, then got directly discovered and suppressed by the City Management Team.

He didn’t accept this!

Determined not to lose here!

The Internet Troll decided to use Secret Technique to strengthen his link with the Contained Object, find a way to escape!

Time to act will be tomorrow night.

It must be around 3 AM, when everyone is asleep...

There’s definitely no problem!

Confidence is key!
