The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

"Second Manager, although I don't know why you think I have a solution to the current problems at Luoyun Shopping Mall!"

"But the truth is, I'm just a lowly shop assistant; you won't get a result from asking me!"

Although he worked for the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce, he didn't actually want to get too involved with these powerful forces. As long as he had a salary, he would be invincible no matter where he went.

After all, he doesn't become stronger by consuming external resources. Even if he goes to a mortal kingdom without spiritual energy, his strength will continue to increase through the auto-play feature.

Therefore, his position was not an advantage for him, but rather a disadvantage; he was content to be a lowly shop assistant.

However, Su Qingzhu seemed to have anticipated Lu Changfeng's words, and immediately smiled mysteriously before slowly extending a finger.

"If that's what you're saying, then I'm going to have to hold you accountable for not working hard. Giving you 150 low-grade spirit stones a month isn't for you to slack off!"

"Of course, if you give me a suggestion, regardless of whether it ultimately works or not, I'll promote you and give you a raise!"

"So, what's your decision?"

Gan!

But then again, it's not like this suggestion is impossible to give!

Thinking of this, he slowly raised his head.

"Add another 1000 spirit stones, as a bonus!"

Since you're going to give advice anyway, why not try to get some more benefits for yourself? Don't forget, the Young Sorcerer Supreme Gift Pack that just refreshed is still available!

If they really give a reward of 1,000 spirit stones, then I won't lose out if I buy the gift pack!

However, Xie Zhixing, who was standing next to him, was completely dumbfounded. Not only had he been caught slacking off by the second manager, but he also dared to make demands.

Kid, I approve of your courage.

"Interesting, that's good!"

"Now you can speak!"

Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, Lu Changfeng didn't waste any words and directly stated his suggestion.

"Alright, since you're so agreeable, I'll share my thoughts!"

"Based on the information I have now, there are two solutions!"

Upon hearing the two solutions, Su Qingzhu frowned, but instead of refuting them, she let him continue.

Then Lu Changfeng held up one finger!

"First, a differentiated competitive strategy!"

"The Luoyun Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly powerful, but don't forget, you are outsiders, and you will naturally face resistance from the locals!"

"But what if we change our perspective?"

"For example, we could cut all pills, talismans, and magical artifacts for the Qi Refining stage, and instead sell rare local spiritual teas or other unusual items!"

"While these things can't directly help with cultivation, don't forget that as long as someone wants to improve, they can't avoid giving gifts. And the recipients of these gifts have enormous influence and power in this area; what haven't they seen?"

"The Luoyun Chamber of Commerce perfectly fills this gap! Moreover, this avoids direct competition with local powers!"

"After all, development is predicated on survival. If you can't even survive, talking about development is just empty talk!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhu's eyes lit up.

Although Lu Changfeng's words were somewhat idealistic, where did he get all those strange and unusual things? If he couldn't sell them, wouldn't that just leave them unsold?

However, it is still a solution, and this one suggestion alone proves that my judgment was correct.

Then she quickly pressed for more information.

"What about the second one? Didn't you say there was a second one?"

Lu Changfeng took a sip of tea and continued,

"The second point is to cooperate with local forces."

"You are indeed competitors, but that doesn't mean it's a life-or-death struggle."

"Perhaps you two could have an open and honest talk, since your current approach is completely mismatched!"

"You know you're here to do business, but the local powers think you're cutting off their livelihood!"

"But in reality, their business is mainly concentrated within the Tianxing Sect, while yours is more focused on independent cultivators in Tianxing City. Essentially, there isn't much conflict!"

"There might still be competition then, but it won't be like now, where we're almost mortal enemies!"

After listening, Su Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I never expected this! We didn't even see something this simple!"

"Lu Changfeng, right? Very good, you're really quite impressive!"

"I'll keep my promise to you, and you'll get the bonus later!"

"But would you like to be my advisor? It's such a waste for someone as talented as you to be a lowly waiter, just drinking tea and slacking off all day!"

However, Lu Changfeng simply shrugged, but refused with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, I call this comprehending the Dao."

Hearing this, Su Qingzhu laughed even more happily!

"Alright, then you can stay here and cultivate your Dao heart!"

After saying that, he left in a flash, clearly having urgent business to attend to.

After she left, Xie Zhixing kept circling around Lu Changfeng as if he were a stranger, occasionally clicking his tongue.

"Xiao Feng, you look so unfamiliar to me!"

"If only your talent for cultivation were a little higher, then I could use your name if I got into trouble in the future!"

hiss!

Good grief, no wonder he grew up naked with Old Man Deng, his moral compass is practically nonexistent.

What do you mean by "we can use your name if I get into trouble later"?

"Hey Mr. Crab, you're trying to scam me! If you don't treat me to a meal today, I'll have my dad bite you!"

"Ha, why did I call it a reward for your dad? Just tell me where we're going to eat!"

Then, amidst their playful bickering, Su Qingzhu finally received her reward.

Without hesitation, he immediately recharged all his money into the cheat system. Looking at the nearly 1300 in-game currency points, Lu Changfeng revealed a satisfied smile.

With these spending points, he can not only buy this 648 gift pack, but he also doesn't need to be afraid if another 648 gift pack is released.

After all, I'm a level one employee now, with a monthly salary of 500. If I can squeeze a little more out of my mom, I can buy a 648 gift pack every month.

After getting off work, Lu Changfeng said goodbye to Xie Zhixing and rushed home.

Although the cheat code would automatically create a barrier during the fusion process to ensure that no fusion activity would be detected, and even if someone looked directly at it, they wouldn't be able to see anything, he still decided to wait until he got home to discuss everything.

But when he got home, he found that not only was his mother not there, but Old Deng wasn't there either!

He immediately had a guess in his mind, and then quickly returned to his room and found his piggy bank. Sure enough, the dozen or so spirit stones inside had disappeared, and in their place appeared a letter.

The letter said that Mom had been working too hard on alchemy lately, and since they had also gone back to work, they planned to go out and relax.

However, the real key point is the small five-pointed star on the letter; marking it means they went to establish their foundation.
