Working Is Impossible

Yangcheng, as evening fell, Li Changle walked through a residential community in Yangcheng called Xingfuli, carrying a large pile of groceries he had bought from the market. The ingredients were a bit heavy, and for his current weakened body, it was quite a strain.

He laboriously carried the groceries up to the third floor, took out his key, and finally set them down. Li Changle then collapsed onto the sofa like a dead dog.

"This is too tiring. I'll make some Chicken and Cordyceps Flower Soup tonight to nourish myself."

"Why is my body so weak? It's been two months. I only got hit a few times in the head and on my body, how can I still be this weak?"

Li Changle shook his head, suddenly feeling that the problem wasn't his.

It was the problem of the original owner of the body, the guy named Li Changle.

Two months ago, Li Changle had been working overtime at the company until 2 AM. Because it was so late and he was very tired, he decided to lie down at the company for a bit and then take a taxi home.

As a result of lying down, when he woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed with excruciating pain in the back of his head and his back.

At that time, Li Changle didn't know he had transmigrated. He thought he had overworked himself to the point of his body failing and had fainted, leading to him being sent to the hospital.

"This won't do. My proposal isn't finished yet, and the manuscript needs revisions too."

Li Changle couldn't sit still at that moment. He reached out to grab his phone to call his boss and ask him to send over the company computer.

This must be the life of a corporate slave. Even when hospitalized, the first thought was: "This won't do, what about my proposal?"

What made Li Changle start to realize something was wrong was.

When he got his phone, he said it wasn't his phone, but the doctor insisted it was.

The doctor even held the phone up to Li Changle's face for facial recognition, and then the phone unlocked.

What followed was a flood of memories that didn't belong to him suddenly appearing in his mind, playing out like a slideshow at 500x speed.

This directly caused Li Changle to faint again.

When Li Changle woke up again, he finally realized he had transmigrated.

This was a world almost identical to Earth, with the same level of cultural development, the same level of technological advancement, and a similar progression of civilization.

The people were ordinary people, no immortal cultivation, no superpowers, no spiritual energy resurgence. It was just a replica of Earth's civilization.

Li Changle, male, twenty-two years old, a recent university graduate, was in the process of job hunting. Besides being very handsome and kind-hearted, he was just an ordinary graduate.

The reason for his hospitalization was that on a certain night two months ago, some men were attempting to harass a beautiful woman in a residential building downstairs, and Li Changle chose to step in.

He hadn't considered that there were three or four of them at the time. He stylishly ran up and kicked the perverted man who was harassing the beauty. Then he was beaten up by the three or four of them.

However, Li Changle was tough. He utilized the essence of the Seven Injuries Fist, damaging the enemy by eight hundred while injuring himself by a thousand. He endured their punches and kicks, grabbing a nearby trash can and wildly swinging it, making the perverted men scurry away holding their heads.

He just never expected that while he was swinging with all his might, a gap appeared. One of the men seized the opportunity, ran behind Li Changle, and smashed another trash can towards Li Changle's head and back.

Li Changle immediately passed out. The perverted men, seeing this situation, feared causing a death. They abandoned the beauty and fled in all directions.

It was the beauty who sent Li Changle to the hospital. It was unknown how she managed to drag a 1.78-meter tall man into her car.

When he woke up again, it was the Li Changle who had transmigrated from Earth. However, after receiving the memories of the original Li Changle, Li Changle felt that he was also this world's Li Changle.

Because his twenty-two years of life had played out like a slideshow in his mind, he felt as if he had already lived in this world for twenty years.

This question had troubled Li Changle for a long time: had he transmigrated to become this world's Li Changle, or had this world's Li Changle gained his memories? However, Li Changle didn't dwell on the issue too much.

Perhaps parallel worlds truly existed.

He was merely a fusion of his soul and memories with his parallel self. He still had his memories from Earth, and Li Changle was still Li Changle, that was for sure.

But this was good. Returning from 26 to 22 years old, the feeling of youth was wonderful! No more overtime, no capitalist exploitation, no being mentally abused by his boss as a workhorse, and no more staying up late thinking about proposals.

Except for the current discomfort in his body, the future was bright!

Li Changle lay on the sofa, reminiscing about the past two months. Apart from the injuries he sustained right after waking up and the headache, everything else had been quite peaceful.

Li Changle stood up, grabbed the chicken and a handful of cordyceps flowers, and walked into the kitchen. The apartment was quite spacious, a three-bedroom, one-living room unit, and Li Changle lived there alone.

This apartment, of course, didn't belong to Li Changle. But the current Li Changle was living there guilt-free, even not having to pay rent.

The apartment belonged to the beauty he had saved that night. Seeing that Li Changle was injured because of her, the beauty felt very apologetic.

Then she learned that Li Changle was a recent university graduate who hadn't even secured a job and was renting a room. So, she generously let him stay in one of her apartments that she didn't usually live in.

She owned two or three apartments in Yangcheng anyway and didn't live in them often, so she might as well consider it repayment to Li Changle.

After staying in the hospital for about a week, Li Changle was discharged. During this period, Li Changle only saw the beauty on the night he saved her and when he was discharged from the hospital.

However, both times she wore a mask, so he couldn't see her face clearly. But looking at her tall figure and the pair of alluring eyes above the mask, Li Changle was very sure that she was definitely a beauty.

When he was discharged, the beauty brought a girl of medium build with a round face to pick him up, who seemed to be her assistant.

She also arranged for people to help him move and took him to her apartment, setting up all the daily necessities, furniture, and appliances perfectly.

Li Changle had been living here for two months. He didn't know the beauty's name, nor did he know when she would return to reclaim the apartment.

However, Li Changle knew one thing for sure: this woman must be a sugar mama.

From the size of the apartment and the furniture, he could tell. According to the little assistant, the apartment opposite his current one also belonged to the sugar mama.

Li Changle took a deep breath at that moment.

"The lives of the wealthy are truly terrifying!"

They didn't buy apartments one by one; they bought entire floors?

The world of the rich is something Li Changle truly doesn't understand.

"Boredom sees hesitation, reaching ideals isn't easy..."

Li Changle hummed a tune while preparing the old hen, feeling that life was simply wonderful.

Even though he was currently unemployed and didn't own a house, he wasn't worried at all.

Li Changle had specifically looked into the general situation of this world. Simply put, its entertainment culture had absolutely nothing to do with Earth's.

Novels, songs, movies, dramas, and so on that existed on Earth were completely absent here.

This meant he could completely make a living by "transporting" novels from Earth. This world did have online novels.

Right now, Li Changle planned to write online novels. Although he had never written one, he had read quite a few. Moreover, he had previously worked in a text-related profession, so his writing skills were excellent.

Most importantly, Li Changle discovered that after experiencing the twenty-two years of the original Li Changle's life flashing before his eyes in this world.

His memory had reached a monstrous level. Almost anything he had glanced at before could be recalled with perfect accuracy.

This... was probably his cheat, right? Li Changle was quite happy. This way, writing novels would be even easier for him.

He wouldn't have to worry about making a living, he could do whatever he wanted, no need to write proposals, no need for overtime. Wasn't this exactly what Li Changle had always dreamed of?

The old hen and cordyceps soup, stewed for two hours, tasted incredible. Although the purine content was off the charts, he was still young now, so he probably wouldn't get gout, right? Right?

Youth is everything. Young people can do whatever they want.

Li Changle drank two large bowls of chicken soup and let out a satisfied belch.

He went to the computer desk in the study. Although it was an accident, after resting for two months, it was time to get to work.

Li Changle quickly opened his browser, found the homepage of Huaxia Novel Chinese Network, and clicked to register.

Looking at the blank pen name field, Li Changle pondered for a moment before finally typing three characters on the keyboard: Li Xiaoyao.

Even though the person named Li Xiaoyao in his previous life had a miserable fate, this name really suited Li Changle's taste.

Having come to this world, he wanted to live a carefree life, not be a corporate slave, not a workaholic.

He had to remember that he had likely died from overwork on Earth before arriving in this world.

Working was impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime.

Even dogs wouldn't work.

Li Changle stubbornly insisted on the pen name Li Xiaoyao.

The person named Li Xiaoyao might have had a miserable life, but that was Li Xiaoyao's problem, what did it have to do with Li Changle?

Since his pen name was Li Xiaoyao, the first novel Li Changle would write was naturally The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 was his childhood memory. For kids who grew up in that era, unless they had no access, who hadn't watched Legend of Sword and Fairy 1?

The Legend of Sword and Fairy series was initially mistaken by everyone as the beginning of Xianxia dramas. Who would have thought it was actually the peak?

This also indirectly showed how outstanding the story quality of Legend of Sword and Fairy was.

As someone from the generation of the nineties, Li Changle knew almost no one who didn't watch or hadn't watched The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1.

The repeated reruns during summer vacation were their happiest childhood memories.

Although Legend of Sword and Fairy was a Xianxia drama adapted from a game, and the novel version was also relatively short.

Li Changle himself worked in a text-related field, so he planned to adapt Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 into an online novel format himself.

He wanted to test how deep the waters of this world's online novel industry were, and whether he could navigate them!
