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

"I think Manager Su will definitely give us all double our salary this time. You've seen it before, so it'll definitely be the same this time."

"No, no, I think Manager Su will definitely give us a fixed amount of spirit stones this time."

The two of them started arguing.

What they both said was the mainstream speculation that everyone was making, so neither of them could convince the other.

"Alright, since that's the case, how about we make a bet?"

Li Mingfei couldn't convince anyone he met, so, being the stubborn prince he was, he simply decided to decide the winner by betting.

Li Bing immediately agreed to this.

"Fine! Let's bet."

"But what's the stake?"

After a second of thought, Li Mingfei immediately made a decision.

"In that case, the loser has to treat everyone to dinner later."

"Okay, it's decided then. Brother Lu, you'll be the notary!"

Lu Changfeng had no objection to this; after all, no matter who won, he would be the one paying for the meal.

"Sure, but what if you both lose?"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances and then spoke at the same time.

"Then let's each treat once!"

"Alright, since that's the case, then it's decided!"

Because of the stakes, the group was even more excited about the outcome of this bet than before.

Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, Su Ziyuan led her entourage slowly to the front of all the employees.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sure you've all guessed why I've called you all here today."

"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more time and will just reveal the answer."

"To celebrate everyone's continued success in completing their work despite the surge in mall sales during the Spirit Testing Event, I hereby announce that all employees are promoted one level!"

Woohoo!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire mall erupted in cheers.

Everyone assumed that this time the reward would be double the salary or simply a reward of spirit stones to each person.

But to my surprise, it turned out to be a promotion of employees.

It's not easy to upgrade this thing; Luoyun Mall has only collectively upgraded its employees' levels twice so far.

The last time was right after the store opened, how could they not be excited?

Even Lu Changfeng was incredibly excited at this moment.

You should know that you were a Level 3 Deacon, and now that you've been promoted to Level 2 Deacon, your salary has increased from one thousand to two thousand.

Previously, you could only buy one 648 item per month, but now you can buy three, which is a huge improvement.

After get off work, Li Mingfei and Li Bing, who had lost the bet, decided to treat everyone to a meal.

However, the question of who would treat first arose, so the two decided to play rock-paper-scissors to decide.

After guessing several times on the roadside, Li Mingfei finally won five times in a row and earned the right to treat everyone today.

This infuriated Li Bing, not for any other reason than that he, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, had actually lost a rock-paper-scissors game to a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

Originally, my reaction speed was naturally faster than that of someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining than at the second level. But not only did I lose, I lost five times in a row! Five times!

What a shame!

He must have relaxed after getting the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he decided to practice rock-paper-scissors properly in the next few days.

After a satisfying meal, the group gradually went home.

On his way home on his motorcycle, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky, which was radiating a soft light, and felt a sense of emotion.

At first, after he learned that this world was a cultivation world, he always thought that it was full of fighting and killing.

However, the reality is somewhat different.

Here, there is both fighting and killing, as well as the mundane realities of daily life; it all depends on your choices.

His choice was to live a wonderful life of slacking off at work and lying down when he wasn't working.

However, his wonderful slacking-off life was interrupted the very next day.

Clang!

"Come in!"

Then the door was opened, and Li Bing led a burly man he didn't recognize to Lu Changfeng.

Upon seeing this person, he was completely bewildered.

"Li Bing, this person doesn't seem to be a mall employee, does he? Is there something you need him for?"

Although he didn't know what he was supposed to do, he decided to ask first.

"Um, Director Lu, this guy's name is Ling Yuan. He says he stole a Foundation Establishment Pill from our mall, so he's come to turn himself in!"

Ling Yuan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"That's right, I had no choice but to steal a Foundation Establishment Pill from your mall."

"But because this violated a promise I made to someone, I turned myself in!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng was filled with questions.

"Are you kidding me? You're only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how could you possibly succeed among a group of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators?"

"Besides, I haven't heard of any pills being stolen from the mall."

Li Changfeng was right about that. The Foundation Establishment Pill was no ordinary pill; if it were really lost, he would definitely be notified.

He hadn't been notified, and this guy claimed to have stolen the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he figured this guy must be an idiot, a Qi Refining Level 6 idiot.

Seeing that Lu Changfeng didn't believe her, Ling Yuan became anxious.

"I didn't actually steal it. There was an earthquake, and then..."

"But I kept waiting, and no one arrested me, so I turned myself in."

After hearing his explanation, Lu Changfeng had even more questions on his mind.

"No, wouldn't it be better if no one noticed? Why did you have to step forward?"

"Are you really out of your mind?!"

However, seeing his expression that said he would stay here if he wasn't arrested, Lu Changfeng decided to ask the second manager first.

Thinking of this, he turned around and knocked on the door of the second manager's office. Only after Su Qingzhu spoke with great distress did Lu Changfeng push the door open and enter.

"Hey Lu Changfeng, usually after you level up you're either slacking off or on your way to slacking off. What brings you here today?"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng shrugged, looking utterly helpless—this time, he was truly helpless.

"Actually, I didn't want to come either, but now we've run into problems, haven't we?"

Then he told Su Qingzhu about Ling Yuan's situation, which left Su Qingzhu looking completely bewildered.

"Seriously, are there really people like this in the world? They weren't even going to arrest him, yet he still turned himself in?"

Lu Changfeng shrugged.

"Right, that's what I said too, but he insisted we arrest him!"

"And when he came, he even asked the mall staff, 'What are we going to do with the second-in-command now?'"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhu sighed heavily.

"There's no other way; since it's already been revealed, the only recourse is punishment."

"Alright, let this idiot go mine in our mall's mine. He can come back when he finds spirit stones worth the same as a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Upon hearing the order, Lu Changfeng immediately took Lingyuan to find the Third Manager.

The third manager was dumbfounded when he heard about Ling Yuan's matter. However, since Su Qingzhu had already spoken, he had no choice but to comply. So, that afternoon, he appeared at the mine and started mining.

Later, I heard from the mall's security team that this guy was working really hard at mining.

However, Lu Changfeng didn't pay much attention to this guy, because recently Huo Chongwu had become arrogant again for some reason, and even his underlings were becoming a bit conceited.
