Capítulo 911: Chapter 721: True Monarch’s Special Approval, Money Incoming!
Chang Buqiu was a poor man.
His mother nad him Buqiu, hoping that he would one day live a life with plenty of work, never defaulting on the debts incurred by his birth due to unemploynt.
Unfortunately, Chang Buqiu’s talents were diocre. It was said that at birth, he was deed to have congenital deficiencies, possessing only the lowest grade of Immortal Path aptitude. Through the grueling efforts of his high school years and the use of various intense potential-stimulating drugs, he barely managed to get into a college, graduating as a Peak of Qi Refining student.
However, graduation was followed by unemploynt. As the number of college graduates continued to rise annually, he found it increasingly difficult to secure a job and had to rely on various temporary jobs to barely sustain himself.
As the world experienced great changes and with the onset of war, his life beca even more difficult. Prices soared, jobs were hard to co by, inco decreased, and yet the costs related to safety and survival increased, causing his weight to plumt continuously.
During this ti, many of his classmates and friends lost contact with him. So were arrested for breaching limits without authorization, so joined the Righteous Alliance and disappeared without a trace, while others were caught in attacks, vanishing in the aftermaths of battles, or succumbed to diseases and drug shortages.
Chang Buqiu also considered joining the Righteous Alliance but couldn’t make up his mind to abandon everything and oppose the Heavenly Court.
“What if the situation at the Righteous Alliance is worse? What if the Heavenly Court returns?”
The Righteous Alliance claid that those without college degrees would be treated as university students, and everyone would cultivate the Immortal Sect Techniques… but Chang Buqiu didn’t care about that. He just wanted to survive, that was all.
With the beginning of the Divinity Transformation war, the situation beca increasingly difficult… until the Breaking Heaven Plan was initiated, and nurous factories were established with expanded production lines. Chang Buqiu finally fulfilled his long-held dream of becoming a formal worker in a factory.
From then on, he could proactively work overti every day, earning a stable monthly salary and overti pay, even affording a few more painkillers each day.
He thought life would get better and better. However, as more and more college students defaulted on small loans and defected to the Righteous Alliance, Chang Buqiu, also a college graduate, found that the amount he could borrow each month was getting smaller and smaller, and the platforms were becoming increasingly strict with their approvals.
The debts he had accumulated since childhood left him with little resistance to risks, and soon he was facing the crisis of bankruptcy.
It was only when he saw the notification popping up in his Eye Remains today that Chang Buqiu was dumbfounded.
Chang Buqiu murmured to himself, “No interest, no repaynt date, directly transferred into my account? What is this thing?”
After taking another careful look at the notification, he thought to himself, “Relief funds? Unconditional donations?”
Chang Buqiu imdiately suspected it was a scam, just like those Evil God scams that were ubiquitous after the world changed. He even suspected that he had been infected by a virus from the Demon Sect.
“Am I poisoned? Is that why I’m seeing this hallucination?”
Chang Buqiu furrowed his brows, not daring to disclose to others that he might be poisoned, fearing it would cost him his job.
It was only when his colleagues also began discussing the relief funds one after another that Chang Buqiu realized he was not the only one “poisoned.”
But his heart sank even lower: “Could it be the Righteous Alliance attacking the factory, poisoning us? Will they fire us all?”
Chang Buqiu recalled a news story where an entire factory’s staff was laid off after one person was infected with the Dual Rest Virus for safety reasons.
However, so workers did not believe they were infected this ti.
Soone said, “The money has already been transferred in, this must be a problem with the company’s financial system.”
Soone else said, “Everyone must not carelessly use this money. If it causes any loss to the company, we will all be dismissed and have to compensate!”
Soone exclaid, “Wha… what should I do? Today is the repaynt day, and the money deposited was automatically deducted!”
The crowd looked at him with a pitiful expression, as if they were looking at a dead man.
Soone suggested, “Quickly sell whatever you can to pay back the company’s mistaken deposit first.”
Another reminded, “Yes, yes, otherwise, if it counts as theft, you’re finished, and you’ll face pay cuts in any job you find…”
Chang Buqiu shook his head as he looked at the person, then turned his attention to the extra money in his account, constantly thinking about where it would be safest to store the money, so he could return it whenever the company asked for it.
At that mont, all the factory workers received a video link in their Eye Remains.
Soone exclaid, “Zhu Yi True Monarch!”
“Is he the Quasi-Deification one?”
“What is he saying?”
Chang Buqiu watched Zhang Yu in the video, listening to him say things like “Sorry for causing panic”, “There’s no need to repay”, “There is no interest”, “Helping everyone get through tough tis”…
“He’s gone mad.” Chang Buqiu sighed inwardly, “Has Zhu Yi True Monarch gone mad?”
Following Zhang Yu’s repeated assurances, people started using the spirit coins deposited in their accounts.
Finally unable to resist, Chang Buqiu used the spirit coins to purchase painkillers.
Feeling the pain from high school slowly being alleviated, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up into a slight smile.
“I can do a few more piecework tasks today and earn more overti pay.”
“At this rate, I won’t go bankrupt.”
“How nice.”
Not long after, another ssage was sent over, floating in front of Chang Buqiu.
“…special approval from True Monarch, awarding you a salary increase?!”
“A… a raise in salary! True Monarch granted a special salary raise?” Chang Buqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight before him.
