A Talent for Making Enemies

A powerful family is a cohesive interest group, while a commoner is really just a noun.

Driven by the rules set by powerful families, corporations, organizations, and even the government, they create value, which is then devoured by those at the top. Of course, some people simply repeat monotonous and tedious tasks, seemingly without much value, but that's exactly what those in power who set the rules exploit—the rules they hold can accumulate like sand into a tower, turning stone into gold.

This is probably the biggest difference between people.

It is said that all people are born equal, but in the end, this is just a beautiful dream.

The reality is that people are born unequal, and reality is never reasonable.

Li Yao had no desire to delve too deeply into these things; he wasn't a sociologist and wasn't interested in them.

Sometimes, Li Yao wonders what kind of person he is.

After thinking it over,

He's just an ordinary person.

He is independent and selfish, likes to make money and enjoy life, and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

But when some noble forces appear before him, he is moved and even wants to do something.

They're no different from ordinary people who stay at home, snuggling in bed scrolling through Weibo —they might smile at a Weibo or feel indignant about certain events, but those emotions come and go quickly.

The difference is that Li Yao has a certain degree of self-discipline and understands the necessity of being ambitious and working hard.

Being a salted fish is a state of enjoyment, not a state of self-deprecation.

Li Yao pursed his lips, chatted with the Big Sister Head for a few more minutes, and then returned to his own Lost Tavern.

Chen Xi opened the tavern door, skillfully walked behind the counter to check the accounts, and then cleaned and wiped the bar area afterward.

Wei Dadong watched from the sidelines, feeling incredibly heartbroken.

"My dear young lady! What have you become like?!" Wei Dadong felt as if something inside him had collapsed.

Then,

All that resentment and grief was focused on Li Yao...

Perhaps even Li Yao himself doesn't realize that he seems to have an inexplicable ability to attract hatred.

possible,

It's probably due to my physical condition.

Oh, it could also be because of a sharp tongue.

While Wei Dadong was staring at Li Yao, Li Yao was looking at the "Solve Worries Mailbox" at the door.

He had already received the envelope Chen Xi had put in and kept it in his Space Ring —he would just leave it there forever.

This is the first troublesome letter received by the Solve Worries Mailbox.

Worthy of being treasured.

I wonder when the next letter will arrive...

There's no rush.

Li Yao has plenty of time to wait, to wait for the troubles delivered to the Solve Worries Mailbox to increase, to wait for his best friend from the other world to return and drink old wine together, and to wait until he grows old in the human world, watching time pass by.

He smiled.

I strolled back to the fireplace and lay down on the sofa.

Perhaps this place will become a legend?

Tsk, who can predict what the future holds?

The next two days,

Life gradually calmed down, but the interrogation of Wang Zhiyuan by the Wallfacers didn't seem to be over yet; it seemed that guy was still quite tight-lipped.

The tavern's rhythm returned to what it used to be, which meant Lin Xiaoxi started going to the tavern more often.

It must be the end of the semester, and Lin Xiaoxi, who has become quite the seasoned pro, has started to slack off and skip classes.

Seeing how she clung to Chen Xi all day long, Li Yao felt a little sorry for Chen Xi.

This is actually what you call harassment, right?

If Chen Xi finds out that guy is thinking of sleeping with her, I wonder what she'll think.

After a set of sword techniques, he hung Lin Xiaoxi on the tree by the door?

Ha, that's interesting! Soon, the Grain Seeds that Li Yao had ordered arrived, and Li Yao rented a warehouse in the suburbs to store Grain Seeds. The various seeds weighed almost five tons in total.

It sounds a bit scary, but it's only 10,000 jin... Does that seem even scarier? But if you knew that a provincial capital consumes tens of thousands of tons of grain every day, you wouldn't be so surprised.

Sometimes, Li Yao would find it amazing that the world operates naturally according to a certain order, which so many people take for granted, without ever examining the great miracles behind the ordinary daily routines.

Just as a mage built Floating City, aren't the city clusters built by humans on Earth also magnificent?

After the Grain Seeds was unloaded and the delivery truck left the warehouse, Li Yao entered and reached out to Grain Seeds. As his mental energy expanded, Demi-Plane within his ring slowly unfolded, sweeping away all the supplies in front of him. Next, he would simply transfer the Space Ring to Lin Xiaowei.

After doing all this,

Li Yao set off back to the city. On his way back, he passed a flower shop and saw gardenias blooming in front of the shop.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Yao stopped the taxi. "I'll get off here."

He paid the fare and arrived at the flower shop. The owner of the flower shop came out; she was a sweet-looking girl.

She looked at Li Yao with a smile, "Sir, what kind of flowers would you like to buy?"

What a clever little girl.

Li Yao smiled and said, "I want to buy gardenias. By the way, do you sell gardenia seeds?"

Lin Xiaowei likes gardenias.

Wang Zengqi said, "Gardenias are large and coarse, and their fragrance is so strong that it can't be shaken off, so they are not favored by refined people, who consider them to lack elegance. The gardenia says: 'To hell with you, I'm going to be fragrant like this, fragrant to my heart's content, what the hell is it to you!'"

yes,

She's just as stupid as Lin Xiaowei.

The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, sir, how much do you want?"

Li Yao: "I want them all. Deliver them to the Lost Tavern on Drum Tower Road, and while you're at it, give me a copy of the planting instructions."

The little girl paused for a moment, then happily went off to do her work.

What Li Yao didn't know was that this flower shop had only been open for a short time, and this was the biggest order she had received recently.

After paying the money readily, Li Yao went back to the tavern.

Later that evening, the florist hired a car to deliver all the gardenias to the Lost Tavern. She called out from downstairs, "Boss, I've brought you your flowers!"

The crisp, cheerful sounds echoed along Drum Tower Road, filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Li Yao peeked out of the shop window and looked at the sweet-looking florist in her long brown apron. He thought to himself, "Youth is such a wonderful thing."

He put away his phone and helped the florist carry dozens of potted gardenias upstairs.

After finishing the work,

Li Yao said to the florist, "Are you tired? How about we have a drink here? It's on the house."

The little girl cheerfully said, "No, I need to go back to the florist to make a bouquet~ Goodbye, sir who bought the flowers~"

She jumped into the pickup truck outside and waved to Li Yao.

Sudden,

As the pickup truck started, she poked her head out of the window again. "Oh, right, sir who wants to buy flowers, my name is Jian Jie, Jian as in simple and Jie as in pure white. Remember to look for me when you buy flowers!"

Li Yao smiled, "Definitely."

Then,

He waved goodbye and watched the little girl walk away, thinking to himself: In the future, she will surely be an even more beautiful and happier girl.

First update. As expected, I'm getting old, my back hurts a lot, and I still have to go out to buy groceries and cook, so the second update will be a little later, around nine or ten o'clock? My sleep schedule is steadily adjusting, at least... I don't have to stay up until five or six in the morning to go to bed... I hope everyone enjoys reading.
