Chapter 529 - 378: The Wretched Fan
Fan Zhizhou was still narrating his experiences in Tianchang City at this moment.
In order to cultivate, he joined a meditation chamber and spent over three million in total, almost throwing all the money Li Yi had given him into it. Yet in a modern city, being without money means you can hardly take a step, and this marked the true beginning of Fan Zhizhou’s nightmare.
"Damn it, I drank three bottles of cultivation water and still failed to embark on the path of cultivation. Is my aptitude really that poor, Fan Zhizhou? Those who started cultivating at the same time as me have begun their journey. Even though they’re not progressing quickly, I can feel them transforming day by day, and it won’t be long before they surpass me in strength."
"Once an ordinary person begins cultivating, they can quickly surpass my twenty years of arduous effort. Mr. Li, you’re right, the strong in this world are indeed numerous as fish swimming across the river."
Fan Zhizhou sighed with these thoughts, also expressing frustration; he hadn’t expected his first step into the Otherworld would be so challenging.
Li Yi said, "So, you’ve spent all your money in the meditation chamber. How have you managed to survive during this time?"
"After running out of money, the teacher in the meditation chamber suggested I get a job to earn money. I didn’t want to work and said I could hunt Fierce Beasts. Showing off my skills as a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist, the teacher immediately offered to introduce me to some partners so we could venture into the danger zone together. Before that, however, I needed to pay an introduction fee of five hundred thousand and a security fee of one million, with a promise that if they couldn’t find any partners for me in ten days, they’d refund the full amount."
Fan Zhizhou said, "Since I didn’t have enough money on me, I paid with some elixirs."
"That teacher quickly told me to go back and wait for a notification, but after waiting for twelve full days at the hotel, there was no news at all. When I returned to the meditation chamber, I found it empty and out of business, and the teacher had completely disappeared."
"Damn it."
Fan Zhizhou slammed his fist on the table as he got to this point: "He promised a full refund if they couldn’t find a partner in ten days, yet he lied to me. Aren’t they afraid of divine retribution for their lies? How can they be so evil, their words as unreliable as farts, with no integrity at all? My Gold membership—supposedly entitling me to lifetime classes—all gone in an instant."
