Urban Immortal Lord

The next morning, birds sang in the forest, and as a ray of dawn fell on the earth, it signified the start of a new day.

Last night, Xia Tian had already packed all his luggage, but Wangchuan Qin couldn't fit it in the suitcase. Helpless, Xia Tian had to ask his mother, Xu Xiaomei, for a long piece of cloth, wrap it up, and carry it on his back, which looked a bit out of place.

Summer thought that once she got to the city, she would have time to buy a piano cover or bag or something, otherwise it would be inappropriate to carry a piano around every day.

Refusing her father's offer to see her off, Xia Tian dragged her suitcase, carried the Wangchuan Qin on her back, and walked alone for more than two hours along the mountain road before finally arriving at Qingshui Town.

Xia Tian refused the living expenses his family offered, as he was out traveling and had no money left. Fortunately, last night he borrowed two hundred yuan from his close roommate in college, promising to pay it back after the start of the new semester.

Because I had a lot of luggage and was too lazy to take the bus in the summer, I simply hailed a taxi. After some haggling, we finally agreed on a price of fifty yuan to take me to the city center.

"Young man, are you out looking for work?" As the car drove along the highway to the city, the driver struck up a conversation with Xia Tian as if they were old friends.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a kind face.

People in industries like taxi drivers are generally very talkative, something Xia Tian was well aware of.

"Well, I'm planning to look around the city for suitable jobs, experience life, and earn some living expenses." With nothing else to do, Xia Tian started chatting with the driver.

"Judging from your age, you should be a university student, right?" the middle-aged driver asked tentatively, seemingly casually. "Which university do you attend?"

"W City, the city is big," Xia Tian replied casually.

Upon hearing this, the driver couldn't help but look at Xia Tian with newfound respect, saying, "I didn't realize this young man was such a high achiever; he has a bright future ahead of him."

No wonder the taxi driver said that. You should know that W City University is a prestigious university, a key national 985 university, and it ranks among the top universities in the country.

"Ha!" Xia Tian couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, the driver's remarks were too one-sided. Not all students from key universities will become pillars of the country after entering society. Key universities like 985 and 211 are just strong in terms of environment and teaching staff. What you can really learn depends on your own efforts.

Summer himself is a perfect example. He was admitted to W City University with excellent scores in the college entrance examination. Considering Summer's family background, the school waived his tuition and fees for four years.

However, this boy who came from the deep mountains was gradually eroded by the bustling city life and lost himself.

Fortunately, after experiencing that love affair filled with intrigue, his post-breakup trip led him to the bottom of the deep sea, where he received the inheritance of immortal traces. Xia Tian saw a different world, and his vision was no longer in this mortal world, but in the legendary world of cultivation!

However, Xia Tian, ​​being a mortal, had also cultivated the Human Path method within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, which destined him to experience the mortal world and seek enlightenment within it.

Xia Tian ignored the driver's words, clearly not intending to respond further, and closed his eyes to rest.

The passenger remained silent, and the driver, finding it boring, focused on driving and sped along, quickly entering the urban area of ​​M City.

After getting off the bus, Xia Tian dragged her suitcase, intending to find a place to stay first, and then look for a job.

Xia Tian did not go to Zhou Ruosi, even though she had saved her before. Before leaving, Zhou Ruosi had hoped that Xia Tian could work at her restaurant during the summer vacation.

But Xia Tian also has pride. As a man, he couldn't bring himself to rely on a woman.

After deducting the cost of the taxi fare, Xia Tian only had 150 yuan left. That was roughly enough to rent a hotel in M ​​City for one day.

However, if he did that, he would be left without a place to live the next day. Xia Tian was certainly not that foolish, so he chose to spend the night at an internet cafe, which was the wisest choice for him at the moment.

Of course, going to an internet cafe during the day wouldn't be cheap these days, so Xia Tian decided to call Coach Zhang Jinbo first and get together.

Xia Tian took out her phone and dialed Zhang Jinbo's number.

"Hello!" came Zhang Jinbo's voice from the other end of the phone.

"I'm in M ​​City. Do you have time to get together?" Xia Tian said.

"I'm on my way to get my driving test training right now. How about we get together for lunch after get off work? I'll treat you to a meal," Zhang Jinbo said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian said, "Alright then, see you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian gave a wry smile. Since he hadn't been able to make an appointment, he could only find a place to sit down and wait for Zhang Jinbo to get off work.

The working hours for a driving instructor are not fixed. Basically, you have to be on the course whenever there are students learning to drive. And the income is not fixed either. However, the monthly salary plus some extra income is about six thousand to ten thousand.

In the summer, I randomly picked up a bottle of mineral water from a convenience store and then found a place to sit down on the street.

In M City, economic development is slow, and the consumption level of citizens is far from keeping up with the rate of price increases.

But in the summer, the streets are filled with the incessant cries of vendors, and people from all walks of life stroll, shop, and enjoy themselves; it's a sea of ​​people.

It presents a prosperous scene, but behind this apparent prosperity lies a hidden desolation.

With nothing to do, Xia Tian started playing on her phone, opening a rental app and constantly refreshing the listings. The rental prices on the app all started at 400 yuan, and you had to pay a deposit of one month's rent plus three months' rent in advance.

This put Xia Tian in a dilemma. He was only planning to work a summer job in M ​​City for a month, and it wouldn't be worthwhile to pay three months' rent in advance as a deposit.

So, in the summer, I started looking at shared apartments, hoping to find a cheaper option.

After patiently scrolling through countless listings throughout the summer, I finally found a useful property listing.

It reads:

I am a female and I rent a three-bedroom apartment. I am currently looking for a roommate. I am open to both genders and the availability of any room. Please contact me privately for pricing.

Those interested can add my QQ: 2835...

Summer saw the housing information above, which perfectly matched her situation, so she opened QQ and added the other party as a friend.

Soon after, Xia Tian received a message that her friend had accepted the friend request and that she had been successfully added as a friend.

The other person's online name is: Smiling Girl

Summer's online name is: Diving Fish

A message immediately came from QQ.

Smiling girl: Hello, are you looking to rent a house?

Diving Fish: Well, but let me make it clear beforehand, I'm only renting it for one month.

Smiling girl: That's no problem, but we must first do a video call and meet in person, otherwise it's all off the table.

Then, a sinister emoji was sent from the other end.

Xia Tian smiled wryly. Renting a house and having to go through video calls felt a bit like a blind date.
