The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 11 The Ascension Conference
After the girl who sold the newspaper walked up to him, Yang Lu couldn't help but wonder: "Murong, why did you come to Haiya Pavilion?"

Seeing Mr. Yang again, Murong stroked his cloth bag lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "After the last batch of newspapers were sold out, I wanted to make more money, so I went back to Pan's Commercial Bank to pick up a new batch." newspaper……"

Yang Lu looked out through the window, and then continued to ask: "I don't seem to see any other newsboys nearby!"

Murong's expression seemed a little cramped: "This is the wealthy area of ​​Haiya City. Many rich people will order newspapers directly at home, so there are very few newsboys coming. I wasted some time when I went back and forth to pick up the newspapers. The location is better. They have been snatched away by other newsboys, I have no choice but to come to Haiya Pavilion to try my luck..."

Sea Cliff Pavilion is the top inn in Sea Cliff City, and the diners are all wealthy class and practitioners of the city.

High-end consumer goods for ordinary people like "Cultivation Finance Weekly" are just daily consumption for the guests of Haiya Pavilion, and purchasing power is definitely not a problem.

But this kind of high-end place is not something that low-level newsboys can come and go at will.Newsboys like Murong need to take great risks when they enter Haiya Pavilion to sell newspapers.It would be okay if the staff turned a blind eye, but if a guest complained, she would definitely be kicked out by the staff here.

If she hadn't seen Yang Lu beckoning to her, she would actually be planning to retreat.

Yang Lu also noticed that when Murong was telling his story, he couldn't stop sweeping away Yang Lu's leftover food from the corner of his eye, and even the saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth without realizing it.

Seeing the greedy and cute face of the other party, Yang Lu pointed to his leftovers and said, "I only have some leftovers here, if you don't mind—"

"Mr. Yang, is this really okay?"

Seeing Murong's longing eyes and super-fast speech, Yang Lu smiled and made a gesture of invitation to her.

Murong is obviously still a little girl at heart, and she will not hide her thoughts at all. After hearing Yang Lu's confirmed answer, she has no image in front of the leftovers.

Seeing the look of the newspaper seller eager to lick the plate clean, Yang Lu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Murong looked about fifteen or sixteen years old at the most, on Earth he should have just graduated from junior high school and just entered high school.If he dared to invite a girl of this age to eat leftovers on earth, not to mention getting any grateful looks, and not being regarded as a hooligan who wanted to take advantage of him, a slap would be considered polite.

But looking at Murong like this, if she could, she could even swallow the whole plate!
It wasn't until there was nothing to eat that Murong reluctantly put down the clean plate.

Noticing that Yang Lu was looking at her with a half-smile, her face turned red immediately: "Mr. Yang, thank you!"

Looking at this poor girl selling newspapers, Yang Lu couldn't help asking curiously: "Murong, how long have you been selling newspapers in Haiya City? Are you going to sell newspapers for Pan's Commercial Company all your life?"

Murong didn't expect Yang Lu to ask such a question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment before answering: "I have been selling newspapers for two years, and for the time being, I only have the job of selling newspapers, otherwise I can only go to the shelter... However, in two months or so, the Sea Cliff City Immortal Ascension Conference will begin, and I plan to try my luck at that time."

The Ascension to Immortals Conference is the most important celebration in the cultivation world.

All the major cities in Zhongzhou hold the Immortal Ascension Conference every five years.All teenagers and girls over the age of 15 who have never participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference can participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference once for free. This process is also called seeking immortality.

Only after passing the test of the Immortal Ascension Conference, ordinary people can know whether they have the spiritual root qualifications necessary for cultivation.

For ordinary people, the Immortal Ascension Conference is no different from a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.No matter what your origin is, as long as you can test your spiritual root aptitude, even if it is the worst evil spirit root, you are qualified to embark on the path of cultivation and become the ruling class in the cultivation world.

It's just that there are very few people with spiritual root talent. On average, there will only be one spiritual root qualification holder in 1000 people, and most of them are inferior spiritual roots. Only a few lucky people have low-grade spiritual roots.As for the middle-grade spiritual roots, top-grade spiritual roots, top-grade spiritual roots, and holy-grade spiritual roots, they are things that only exist in the urban legends of Haiya City.

Therefore, most of the carp who dream of jumping over the Dragon Gate finally have to accept the cruel reality that they are indeed a carp.

It has been more than four years since Haiya City held the Immortal Ascension Conference, and the next Immortal Ascension Conference will start in three months.Of course, Yang Lu also hopes that he has the aptitude for self-cultivation. After all, he is a one-in-a-million traverser. It's fine if he doesn't have a golden finger. If he doesn't even have a spiritual root aptitude, then God is too unfair!
Murong also knew that the chances of the Immortal Ascension Conference were very slim, so he said in a slightly depressed tone: "It would be best if the spiritual root aptitude can be tested, but if the spiritual root aptitude can't be tested, I really don't know. Besides selling newspapers, I can do something else." what……"

Yang Lu comforted in a soft voice: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Even if you sell newspapers, I believe you can do well."

Seeing that a big man like Yang Lu would take the initiative to care about him, Murong seemed to have found someone to confide in, and couldn't help but moved: "Mr. Yang, I'm afraid you don't know how difficult the life of newsboys is. Although Pan's Firm strictly prohibits malicious competition among newsboys , but often only strong and strong newsboys can occupy the best sales positions. Just now in the tavern, if you hadn’t helped me sell 100 newspapers quickly, after the other two newsboys arrived, I would have to be They drive away..."

Just like the tiger in the forest has its own territory, the newsboy also has its own sphere of influence. A girl newsboy with ordinary physical fitness like Murong is probably only qualified to fight guerrilla warfare.

Pan's Commercial Bank employs underage teenagers and girls as newsboys in order to squeeze labor costs as much as possible, and a newsboy with poor physical strength like Murong will be squeezed horizontally by other strong newsboys, saying that she is a member of the bottom working people. It is not an exaggeration for the working people at the bottom.

This is indeed a story that makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry!

But then again, Murong would rather accept the cruel exploitation of Pan's business than send food to the shelter run by cultivators. It is conceivable that the pig food and pig kennels provided by the shelter for the homeless are Probably what level it is!

Seeing this "sick and sympathetic" girl selling newspapers, Yang Lu encouraged softly: "Don't lose confidence, in fact, there are still skills in selling newspapers. If you can read and write, and even memorize the contents of newspapers, you are already better than other newsboys." The starting point is much higher. When selling newspapers in the future, you can refine the main content of these news, and then create an eye-catching headline, so as to arouse the curiosity of potential customers to the greatest extent, this is the so-called headline party.”

Hearing the profound meaning of "title party" taught by Yang Lu, Murong also showed a deeply appreciative expression. Just now in the tavern, she has seen the power of the title party with her own eyes.

In fact, "Cultivation Finance Weekly" was not sure about President Li Qingyang's physical condition, but with just a few rumors and an eye-catching headline, the newspaper was sold out of stock in an instant!
