Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Client Really Deserves to Die!

[June 1st.

Lin Hao has transmigrated, fulfilling his childhood dream of arriving in the Cultivation World.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, sects abound, and powerful beings are numerous.

Besides his handsome and charming looks, Lin Hao also possesses excellent perception.

But to become strong, one must first join a sect, either obtaining cultivation resources or acquiring divine powers.]

[June 2nd.

Lin Hao doesn't know how to join a sect and spends the day confused.]

[June 3rd.

Lin Hao still doesn't know how to join a sect and spends the day confused.]

[June 4th.

With little grain left at home, Lin Hao decides not to fantasize about entering an Immortal Sect but to work diligently as a mortal.]

[June 5th.

Giving up on cultivation fantasies, Lin Hao accidentally joins a small cultivation sect in Ke Chen City called "Ke Chen City's Entertainment Idea Limited Sect," with an initial registered capital of 500,000 yuan, belonging to a small and micro sect.

The sect had him sign a "Labor Contract" and a "Social Security Waiver," then took him on a tour of the sect.

The sect's primary resource channel is selecting cultivation fragments from the Sea of Divine Thoughts for editing, with slogans like seeking likes, collections, clicks, shares, and referring to the client as "Dad."]

[June 8th.

Lin Hao officially enters the sect, becoming a servant disciple, diligently cultivating...]

[June 9th.

Lin Hao diligently cultivates, and the sect begins to have him, as a servant disciple, connect with the sect's industry...]

[June 10th.

Lin Hao diligently cultivates, finding cultivation quite boring, wanting to cut ties with the sect whose industry contact is a lunatic...]

...

Just after reverting the fifteenth draft proposal needed by the client back to the first draft, Lin Hao sighed heavily.

It's been almost a month since transmigrating, but it's just a change of world to become a corporate slave.

When Lin Hao first transmigrated, a pale blue light screen resembling a diary appeared before his eyes.

This definitely is the transmigration golden finger!

When the golden finger initially reminded him it was a Cultivation World, Lin Hao instantly got excited.

Cultivation World—

Become an immortal ancestor!

Ride the wind!

Achieve immortality!

Roam the heavens and earth!

Whichever one, just thinking about it makes one's heart flutter, but when Lin Hao accessed the original owner's memories, this is clearly an Urban World.

Even though this world exists as cities without the concept of countries.

But it's still an Urban World!

Looking around the environment, a computer on the desk, and a smart wristband on his arm...

But since the golden finger resembling a log stated it's a Cultivation World, Lin Hao remained hopeful, however...

Urban World is just Urban World, expectations are useless, and with little money in the bank, he could only go out to work.

Afterward, Lin Hao came to realize that this golden finger is bugged.

It mistook the Urban World for a Cultivation World, each company as a sect, each working class as "servant disciples," "outer disciples," "outer deacons," and the bosses and shareholders as "sect masters," "elders" and the like...

Perhaps Lin Hao initially loaded the golden finger for a Cultivation World and transmigrated incorrectly?

After almost a month, under the pressure of work, Lin Hao recognized reality and no longer held other expectations.

Now, as a worker, his few expectations are getting off work early, receiving his salary on time, and having the client be a bit more reasonable.

Golden finger can only be used as a log now.

Right, it's mealtime now; let's order takeout.

Fortunately, the previous self left some bank savings, which can be used now...

Of course, due to limited savings, Lin Hao chose the highest-selling with the lowest average consumption and placed an order directly.

Even before the takeout arrives, he already knows what it tastes like.

Throughout the transmigration, this type of takeout is all he's had, his taste buds are almost numb.

But it doesn't matter; these days will soon pass, just hang in there, today is payday, and once he gets paid, he can eat something better.

Buzzzz...

The phone rings again.

It's the work chat group.

Oh, it's a message from the project client.

Let's see, let's see what our dear client has to say?

"@Lin Hao, I think the first version of the proposal is quite good, but the third version's concept and the tenth version's activities have some aspects worth incorporating, could you blend them slightly!"

"@Lin Hao, I believe every version of the proposal definitely has valuable points, could you also blend them together!!"

"@Lin Hao, of course, you are the professional, your opinion takes precedence!!!"

"@Lin Hao, by the way, I have a meeting at three this afternoon, could you give it to me by two!!!!"

Seeing the client's "requirements" and every sentence punctuated with exclamation marks, Lin Hao feels his blood pressure rise.

He needs a new proposal by two.

But it's already one now!

He's just taken a break...

This is going to kill him...

But, what else can he do?

[As a servant disciple, Lin Hao endures the harassment from the Upper Sect's outer disciples, yet he has no choice but to bear it]

The timely appearing log from the golden finger makes Lin Hao...

Even more frustrated.

But what else can he do?

His permanent status, salary, and commission all depend on this client.

Almost let the golden finger mislead him.

Now what can he do?

Get to work!

The client said it needs to be ready by two, right?

If worse comes to worst, he'll have some free time even at the three o'clock meeting...

It must be like that...

From one to three in the afternoon, Lin Hao and the client review the proposal.

But the client remembers none of the proposal's content so...

From three to five in the afternoon, Lin Hao participates in the client's online internal meeting.

It's called the client's online internal meeting, but it's essentially as a "client's employee," presenting his proposal from beginning to end to "the client's client."

Is this outsourced?!

But what can be done?

The experience was just as the golden finger said...

[As a servant disciple, Lin Hao continued to endure harassment from the Upper Sect's outer disciples despite having no choice but to bear it]

The client is truly wretched!

Picked up my lunch, tasted a bite.

Hmm~~

Today's lunch is not only tasteless but also cold.

Yet, one must always look on the bright side, saving lunch for dinner isn't without benefits... at least it saves a meal's worth.

Ah, although comforting himself this way... still feels very frustrated.

The client is truly wretched!

But today isn't without good news; today is payday!

Whether in the previous life or this one, payday for workers is a good day!

Moreover, this company likes the ceremonial aspect of receiving wages in cash from the finance department.

Once it's nearing seven o'clock in the evening, it is finally Lin Hao's turn to collect his salary.

"1800, count it, no mistakes, right?"

Lin Hao counted once, no mistakes. After thanking the finance, he tucked the money back into the envelope, it's great!

Pocketing the cold cash, warmth fills his heart.

Getting paid in this world signifies that life in this world will stabilize.

Stable job.

Reliable income.

Buy a car, buy a house.

Get married, have children.

These are the days he should truly look forward to.

Yet the text prompt from the golden finger appearing before him causes Lin Hao's originally worldly heart to stir once more—

[As a servant disciple, Lin Hao receives his monthly stipend from the sect after a month of hard work—a lower grade spirit stone and eight spirit stone fragments]

Digging into his pocket...

The envelope no longer contains cash!
