Chapter 11 Great Immortal Ascension Assembly

Yang Lu couldn't help strangely after the girl to be selling the newspaper walked up to him. said: "Murong, why did you come to Seacliff Pavilion?"

Seeing Mister Yang again, Murong gently stroked her cloth bag, and said a little sorry: "After the last batch of newspapers sold out, I still want more After earning some money, I went back to Pan's Trading Company to pick up a new batch of newspapers..."

Yang Lu looked out the window and continued to ask, "I don't seem to have any in the vicinity. See the other newsboys!"

Murong's expression was a little cramped: "This is the wealthy area of Seacliff City, and many wealthy people order newspapers directly from their homes, so few newsboys come over. I go back and forth. It took me some time to pick up the newspaper, and the better places have been taken by other newsboys. I have no choice but to come to Seacliff Pavilion to try one's luck..."

Seacliff Pavilion as Seacliff The city's top Inn, diners are the city's affluent class and cultivator.

Ordinary person's high-end consumer goods such as "cultivation Financial Weekly" are just daily consumption for the guests of Seacliff Pavilion, and purchasing power is definitely not a problem.

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

If she hadn't seen Yang Lu beckoning to her, she would have been ready to back off.

Yang Lu also noticed that when Murong was telling his story, Yu Guang couldn't help sweeping away the rest of Yang Lu's meal, and even saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth without even knowing it.

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

"Mister Yang, is this really okay?"

Looking at Murong's eager eyes and super-fast speech, Yang Lu smiled and gestured to her .

Murong is obviously still a little girl temperament, and she will not hide her thoughts at all. After hearing Yang Lu's confirmed answer, she has no image to face the leftovers and scattered the last clouds.

Yang Lu couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw the girl who sold the newspaper wanted to lick the plate clean.

Murong looks like fifteen or sixteen years old at most. In Earth, she 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 in Earth, let alone a grateful look, he would not be regarded as a hooligan who wanted to take advantage of him, and a slap in the face would be considered polite.

Looking at Murong like this, if she could, she could even swallow the whole plate!

Until there was nothing left to eat, Murong reluctantly put down the clean plate.

Noticing that Yang Lu looked at herself with a faint smile, her face turned red: "Mister Yang, thank you!"

Looking at the poor man The newspaper selling girl, Yang Lu couldn't help but said curiously: "Murong, how long have you been selling newspapers in Seacliff City? Are you planning to sell newspapers for Pan's Trading Company all your life?"

Murong didn't expect Yang Lu to suddenly ask this kind of question, and after a moment of stunned he replied: "I have been selling newspapers for two years, and for the time being, I can only do the job of selling newspapers, otherwise I have to go to the shelter... ...but in more than two months, the Seacliff City Great Immortal Ascension Assembly will begin, and I am ready to try one's luck when the time comes."

The Great Immortal Ascension Assembly is the most important celebration in the cultivation world.

All major cities in Central Plains hold the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly every five years. All teenagers and girls who are over 15 years old and have never participated in the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly can participate in the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly once for free. This process is also called seeking immortality.

Only after the test of the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly, the ordinary person can know whether he has the spiritual root aptitude required for cultivation.

For the ordinary person, the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. No matter what your background is, as long as you can test the spirit root aptitude, even the worst inferior spirit root, you are qualified to embark on the path of cultivation and become the ruling class of the cultivation world.

It's just that there are very few people with spirit root innate talent. On average, there will be one spirit root aptitude holder in 1000 people, and most of them are inferior spirit roots, only a few lucky ones. Has low grade spirit root. As for middle grade spirit root, high grade spirit root, Top Grade spirit root, Saint Grade spirit root, those are things that only exist in the urban legend of Seacliff City.

Therefore, the overwhelming majority dreamed of the carp that leaped over the Dragon Gate, but finally had to accept the cruel reality that they were indeed a carp.

Seacliff City has not held the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly for over four years, and the next Great Immortal Ascension Assembly will start 3 months later. Of course, Yang Lu also hopes that he has cultivation aptitude. After all, he is a one-in-a-million transmigrator, so if he doesn't have cheat, he doesn't even have a spirit root aptitude, then this God is too unfair!

Murong also knew that the chances of the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly were very slim, and said in a slightly gloomy tone: "If the spirit root aptitude can be measured, of course it is best, if the spirit root aptitude cannot be measured, I really don't know, What else can I do besides selling newspapers..."

Yang Lu softly comforted: "when we get to the mountain, there'll be a way through, even if it's selling newspapers, I believe you will It can be done very well."

Seeing that a great character like Yang Lu would take the initiative to care about himself, Murong seemed to have found someone to talk to, can't help being emotional: "Mister Yang, I'm afraid you don't Know how difficult life is for newsboys. Although the Pan's Trading Company strictly forbids malicious competition among newsboys, often only the able-bodied newsboys can occupy the best sales spots. Just in the tavern, if you hadn't helped me quickly I sold 100 copies of newspapers, and when the other two newsboys arrived, I only had the share of being chased away by them..."

Just like the tigers in the forest have their own territory, so do the newsboys In his own sphere of influence, an ordinary girl newsboy like Murong was probably only qualified to fight guerrilla warfare.

Pan's Trading Company hires underage boys and girls as newsboys in order to squeeze labor costs as much as possible, and newsboys with poor physical strength like Murong are also squeezed horizontally by other strong newsboys. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the bottom working people among the bottom working people.

This is indeed a sad story for those who hear it and tears for those who see it!

But then again, Murong would rather accept the cruel exploitation by Pan's Trading Company than go to the shelter run by the cultivator. What level of pig food and pig nest is it?

Seeing this girl who is "sympathetic to each other", Yang Lu encouraged softly: "Don't lose your confidence, in fact, you still have skills in selling newspapers. You can read and hyphenate words and even memorize them. The content of newspapers is already much higher than that of other newsboys. When selling newspapers in the future, you can completely extract 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 truth" of the "headline party" taught by Yang Lu, Murong also showed an expression of admiration. She had already seen the headline party in the pub just now. terrific.

Actually, "cultivation Financial Weekly" is not sure about President Li Qingyang's physical condition, but just relying on a few rumors to catch the wind and adding an eye-catching headline, the newspaper was sold out of stock in an instant!
