The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 69: Connections!

Lin Hao frowned in thought as he distinctly felt the aura from the Minotaur uncle growing more dangerous, and within his Divine Thought perception, the other’s eyes faintly emitted a red glow.

Beneath the refined and mature demeanor lay madness, violence, and bloodthirstiness.

My ex-wife gave birth to such a cute child, how dare you not remember... If it wasn’t for buying milk tea from you, he wouldn’t have been caught... Everything started with you, why should you forget... He’s dead, why should you forget...

You must be pretending, I’ve already checked, you live at the City Management Team... Treating me like a fool, just like my ex-wife, like Old Wang, all treating me like a fool...

Lin Hao was ready to call forth White Impermanence at any moment!

Qianqian, acting as Lin Hao’s assistant, sensed something was amiss, and approached Lin Hao’s side, giving the Minotaur uncle a slight smile:

"Uncle, please let Teacher Lin think, he meets too many customers every day, so he might not remember right away...

Very!

Normal!

Behavior!

What do you think?"

After Qianqian spoke, her complexion instantly lost its color, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly wiped it away.

Under Qianqian’s "guidance", the rising momentum from the Minotaur uncle stalled...

At this moment, Lin Hao’s eyes revealed a sudden realization:

"I remember this person, one evening he wanted to recruit me, but my class was going fine, so I didn’t agree.

Speaking of which, he left me a note."

As he spoke, Lin Hao bent down, and after fumbling beneath the counter for a while, pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the Minotaur uncle.

The Minotaur uncle reached out with both hands, gently rubbing the writing on it:

"Ah, these words, I taught him myself when he was young."

The dangerous aura from his body receded like the tide.

Lin Hao did not relax his vigilance, asking naturally:

"Who is this person to you? What happened?"

"He’s dead, I just wanted to come here to see what the milk tea he ordered before dying tasted like."

"I see."

Lin Hao turned to Qianqian, who was already somewhat unsteady, and said:

"Go to the back, see if you can find this customer’s purchase record."

"Teacher, I..."

"Go check in the back."

Seeing Lin Hao’s serious expression, Qianqian could only nod slightly.

"Sir, please wait on the side for a moment, our staff will go to the back to pull up the data, let the next person order first, is that okay?"

"Sure."

The Minotaur uncle shifted aside, letting the next person go first.

After making the milk tea for the next three customers, Qianqian emerged from the back.

The information about the Internet Troll’s order that day was pulled up—

"Ah, the Internet is really a great thing, all this information can be retained.

No wonder my child loved the Internet so much...

Since it’s brown sugar goji tea, alright, bring me the same."

Upon confirming the Minotaur uncle’s order, Lin Hao quickly made the brown sugar goji tea.

"Here’s your milk tea."

"Thank you."

The Minotaur uncle took the milk tea, sipped it, and sighed contentedly:

"Don’t pretend anymore, you know very well about my child’s situation, you usually live at the City Management Team, don’t you?

Don’t worry, I won’t kill you now, you’re too weak, there’s no need to kill you."

Saying this, the Minotaur uncle glanced in Qianqian’s direction:

"Your power is interesting too, you carry the aura of the Gluttonous Legislator, are you the vessel of that old gentleman?"

Seeing Qianqian’s shocked expression of having her identity revealed, the Minotaur uncle chuckled.

"Rest assured, I won’t harm you either, you won’t live long anyway."

After speaking, the Minotaur uncle turned and left...

[The Cultivation Realm is cruel]

[A crisis could strike at any moment!]

[This was Lin Hao’s first time facing a life-and-death crisis, the first time being unabashedly ridiculed by a wild cultivator]

[To the other, Lin Hao’s life seemed fragile, easy to take or leave]

[But, what can Lin Hao in the Foundation Establishment Stage do?]

[If one’s strength is inferior, they must endure it]

[As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, one can entirely wait until grass grows on the opponent’s grave]

Watching the log flashing before him, Lin Hao’s lips twitched slightly...

Endure?

They said right before my face "I won’t kill you now."

What does that mean!

Translate, translate!

You translate for me!

My life is just waiting for you to take it, is that it!

It’s yours to take whenever you please!

What a joke on the international stage! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

No, no...

What a joke on the inter-city stage!!!

Lin Hao, had crossed to this world.

For the first time, he felt anger, that look treating him like an ant, was truly infuriating...

What’s more, he was to be the future Immortal!

Normal cultivators, ten years, a hundred years isn’t too late, as long as one lives long enough, it’s entirely possible to wipe out another’s bloodline.

But Lin Hao...

Is not without a foundation for revenge.

Currently, Lin Hao’s Divine Thought’s Spiritual Power is almost on par with the opponent’s, what’s lacking?

It’s Magical Power!

Wanting to enhance Magical Power, it’s indeed difficult.

Lin Hao needs to work every day, move Rejuvenation Pills from the pharmacy, and transform them into Magical Power every day...

But to say it’s simple, it is indeed simple.

Lin Hao said sorry to the customer in front of him.

"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

"No problem, Teacher Lin, you go ahead, I’m not in a hurry."

"Thanks."

Lin Hao went to the restroom at the back of the shop. After confirming with his Divine Thought that there was no one around, he took out his phone and dialed a number he had never called before—

Hua Busi.

Brrrr. Brrrr.

The phone only rang a few times before it was answered!

"Master, you’re calling me late at night. Is there something urgent? If I can help, I’ll surely do whatever you need." On the other end of the call, Hua Busi’s voice came strong and full.

Additionally, after speaking, he seemed to cover the receiver and say to someone nearby:

"Keep the music down."

Lin Hao took a deep breath:

"Ah, indeed, there’s something I need from the old guy’s help, though it’s a bit inconvenient."

"What’s inconvenient about it? Your matter is my matter. If I can manage it, I’ll handle it for you, and if I can’t manage it, I’ll find someone else to help!"

"Since you put it that way..."

Lin Hao said the phrase that would make any man mature upon uttering—it spanned past and present lives—

"I want to borrow some money!"

True adulthood often begins with borrowing money.

"Hah?" Hua Busi was a bit stunned. He didn’t expect Lin Hao to ask for money at night.

Although, upon first meeting Lin Hao, he felt Lin Hao was quite simple.

But then...

Later, his unaccomplished grandson mentioned that Lin Hao opened a shop with a young girl from the Li Family.

Lack money?

Shouldn’t be, right?

But since he asked, Hua Busi naturally responded:

"How much?"

"Borrow me a hundred million! I need cash, the sooner the better."

"A hundred million? Sure, please hold on, cash preparation requires some time. By the latest, it will be delivered to you by tomorrow morning."

Hua Busi was slightly taken aback. Anyone facing a request to "borrow a little money" in the form of a hundred million would pause...

But Hua Busi didn’t hesitate and agreed. With their Hua Family, they could gather a hundred million.

After hanging up the call, Lin Hao pursed his lips.

Borrowing money for the first time feels so uncomfortable...

But right now, his Magical Power isn’t sufficient; he’s short on Spirit Stone resources.

Earning money the traditional way, when would that happen? Until Year of the Monkey?

By then, his grave might already be overgrown!

Unlike the standard Cultivation World where finding Spirit Stone or Spirit Vein resources leads to major conflict...

For this world’s Lin Hao, acquiring Spirit Stone resources means making money!

Cash can be exchanged for Spirit Stones directly.

As long as Lin Hao is willing to put aside his pride and ask people for "a little loan"...

Spirit Stones will come his way.

As for repaying the money, let his future self worry about it.

Oh right...

He also needs to consider the matter of repaying favors.

Right now, all he needs to focus on is getting stronger!

When he’s stronger, he can undoubtedly repay the money.

At the moment, he has a lifespan of two hundred years...

Working for a month now and various incomes, from the milk tea shop to small pill sales, add up to about two hundred thousand, so...

One hundred million, assuming no interest, he would only need...

About forty-two years to pay it back fully!

Seems a bit long, but not too long either!

It’s just doubling his current lifespan...

He currently has a lifespan of two hundred!

If calculated according to a monthly interest rate of one percent...

Lin Hao’s monthly income wouldn’t even cover the interest...

The debt would keep growing bigger and bigger.

No worries, no worries, no worries...

There’s always a solution.

But it still feels frustrating. Clearly, he could follow a step-by-step plan and become strong without owing money.

And now?

Borrowing money!

Carrying debt!

And it’s a hundred million worth of debt.

Who can endure normal people owing a hundred million...

He definitely needs to show that Minotaur what a true Cultivator is!

In his past life, Lin Hao didn’t buy a house because he didn’t want debt, but in this life, he’s actively taking on debt.

No more thinking, thinking will make it worse.

Think positively...

Lin Hao with one phone call got a man to lend him a hundred million...

What is this?

Connections!
