Urban Immortal Lord

"The economy of M City is indeed in a slump."

Summer spent over an hour scrolling through job postings on recruitment platforms, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh as she looked at the listings.

The jobs there are nothing more than waiters, security guards, and sales jobs, and the wages are pitifully low, between two and five thousand and three thousand.

"It seems I need to buy some medicinal herbs as soon as possible, refine some pills, and then find a suitable seller to establish a sales channel!"

Xia Tian had to start planning for his future. Although he was a cultivator, he felt that his talents were wasted. In today's materialistic society, money is still the most important thing.

Moreover, Xia Tian never intended to trample on the rules of society or use extreme means to seek profit. He wanted to use legal means to build his own blueprint for a great empire!

From Zhang Daxian, Xia Tian learned about the current state of the martial arts world and the general division of cultivation realms.

This made Xia Tian wary. He realized that he was not the only one in society with power that transcended the secular world. He began to feel the urgency of potential dangers. Only by strengthening his own cultivation could he be fearless in the face of any possible changes in the future.

With nothing else to do, Xia Tian composed herself, strode out of the room, and prepared to go to the place she had arranged to meet Zhang Jinbo, the "No Home Tonight" bar.

"No Going Home Tonight" bar is located in the most bustling area of ​​downtown M City and is a relatively famous internet-famous bar. Rumor has it that the owner of this bar has connections to the underworld, and almost no one dares to cause trouble in the bar.

When summer arrived at the bar, it was just opening, so there weren't many people coming and going.

Generally speaking, bars are open from about 6 p.m. to 3 a.m., although some large bars are open all night.

Summer walked past the bar counter and went straight to the bar lobby, where she casually found a secluded corner to sit down.

Perhaps because there were fewer people in the bar at the moment, no security personnel came to ask Xia Tian to reserve a booth at the front desk.

In summer, people who haven't reserved a booth are generally not allowed to occupy a seat at the bar and can only stand.

Soon, the bar became more crowded. Under the neon lights, some young men and women started dancing to the rhythm of the music, seemingly venting their frustrations from the day.

Actually, I don't really like the atmosphere of bars in the summer. After the current glitz and glamour, the intoxication and hedonism, I still have to face the unpleasantness of real life when I wake up.

Although he had gone to bars with his roommates to drown his sorrows during the summer when he was studying in W City, deep down he disliked the noisy and chaotic atmosphere of bars.

I'd heard rumors before that some large bars in W city were involved in shady dealings. Even at midnight, a lot of cars would be parked outside the bars, and the perpetrators would take advantage of the situation to get drunk women into their cars and commit illicit acts.

This behavior is known in the industry as "picking up corpses" (or "picking up corpses").

As the bar became more and more crowded, even though Xia Tian's location was extremely secluded, it was still packed with people.

He glanced around without any interest, then narrowed his eyes, preparing to wait for Zhang Jinbo and Liu Zhenxing to arrive.

"Handsome, would you like some drinks?" Suddenly, a female voice rang in Xia Tian's ears. In the dim light, a young girl walked towards him, carrying a tray full of drinks.

"No need, thank you."

Summer rejected the girl selling drinks with a blank expression. The girl was dressed extremely provocatively and wore heavy makeup, especially her long legs exposed to the air. If it were anyone else, they might have used the excuse of buying drinks to flirt with this young girl.

But Xia Tian had no interest whatsoever. Firstly, he had no money and couldn't afford the drinks that were several times more expensive than outside. Secondly, he had no interest in the girls.

Seeing that Xia Tian didn't intend to order any drinks, the young girl didn't pester him any further and walked down the aisle to another booth.

Shortly after this brief incident, Xia Tian received a message on her phone from Zhang Jinbo, saying that she and Liu Zhenxing had arrived at the bar and were reserving a booth at the front desk.

So Xia Tian got up and walked out of the bar lobby. When he saw Zhang Jinbo and his companion, the two men were also walking towards him. Obviously, Zhang Jinbo and his companion had already reserved a booth.

"Brother, long time no see, you've gotten even more handsome." The speaker was Liu Zhenxing. He was of average appearance, even a bit clownish, and only about 1.6 meters tall. Perhaps because of this, he was still single.

"Long time no see, and you still love to flatter."

Xia Tian smiled. Perhaps it was because Liu Zhenxing was a civil servant, just like when he was learning to drive, he liked to flatter people and pull strings.

"Brother, you have to teach me how to pick up girls this time! I've been on three blind dates, but no one's interested in me!" Liu Zhenxing put his arm around Xia Tian's shoulder as soon as he came up and said this without any formality.

"Three times already?" Xia Tian looked at Liu Zhenxing in disbelief. This guy had only been on one blind date in May when he was learning to drive, and now, just two months later, he's been on two more blind dates, both of which ended in failure.

Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh for Liu Zhenxing. In this society, first impressions are extremely important when dating or going on blind dates, and those first impressions are based on appearance!

What Liu Zhenxing lacked was not good looks, but a privileged family background. From his father to himself, everyone was a civil servant. Even without official rank, they were still very powerful in M ​​City.

But it seems that girls nowadays don't care about these things. Xia Tian knows that most girls nowadays value looks, which is their only standard for dating.

According to these girls, love is above all else; money doesn't matter, looks come first.

In Xia Tian's view, these so-called loves will eventually lead to them paying the price for their past willfulness after experiencing the hardships of reality.

"Look at our Coach Zhang, he just broke up with his girlfriend a few days ago and he's already dating another girl." Xia Tian joked, "You should learn more about his flirting skills from him. Don't be too rigid. As the saying goes, women don't love men who aren't a little bad."

Another reason why Liu Zhenxing has been single for over twenty years is that he is too rigid, inflexible, and serious.

And most girls, putting aside looks, don't they like witty boys?

"Don't tease me. What's so great about this? I just got dumped by my girlfriend and I'm feeling down, so I found her to comfort my fragile heart." Seeing this, Zhang Jinbo started to get annoyed, then said, "But Xia Tian has a point. You can't be too rigid. Girls like bad boys. It seems our Casanova really understands women, haha."

As they were talking, Xia Tian and the other two had already sat down at the reserved booth, and Liu Zhenxing had ordered drinks, with the table full of vodka.
