This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World

Chapter 28

Shen Feixian took out the trash downstairs, and then took the opportunity to clean up the living room and dining room.

After spending some time in the alternate world, Shen Feixian had gained a thorough understanding of this world.

Although the house belonged to his junior martial sister, it was actually quite spacious. It just seemed extremely cramped with the addition of him and his fellow sect members.

Since he was eating his junior martial sister’s food and living under her roof, Shen Feixian naturally wanted to take on some other responsibilities to ease her burden.

Although he hadn’t done such trivial household chores for over a hundred years, the advantage was that this house was very small, so he could finish cleaning it very quickly. As he worked, he found it quite easy.

Just as Shen Feixian was about to turn off the lights and return to his room, he suddenly heard a faint beep coming from his computer, which had been left on.

Shen Feixian stopped what he was doing and went to the computer. He tracked down the source of the sound and found that it was a message sent to him by a senior cultivator who had given him some guidance on the forum before.

The content was similar to the invitation he had received over the last few days for him to go and work at their company.

A few days ago, Shen Feixian had used the internet skills he learned to investigate their company.

It was a private company with mysterious connections to the local Judicial Court, handling all kinds of shady business. It would be fair to say they were an unseen blade that drew no blood.

If he were in the Cultivation World, Shen Feixian would have been quite interested to go and take a look, since the job content was very simple and the pay was pretty good. It could help reduce his martial sister’s burden.

The only disappointing thing was that not only did they want to meet him in person, but they also wanted him to sign a contract. When it came to signing contracts, Shen Feixian was extremely cautious.

He had thoroughly looked into the rules for receiving monthly wages in this world. Everything relied on having a card and an ID token.

Although it would be no problem for him to use the skills he had learned recently to make ID tokens for his fellow sect members in a few more days by hacking into the local database.

If someone noticed those fake ID tokens and investigated them thoroughly, it would still end up causing a lot of trouble, which would bring a lot of trouble to his martial sister.

This was the reason why Shen Feixian hadn't made a move yet.

So no matter how this senior tried to persuade him with emotion or reason, Shen Feixian didn't have any intention of taking him up on the offer.

Sitting in front of the computer, Tang Jun was getting anxious as he stared at the screen. He had been sitting there for three days, flipping through dog-eared copies of "1,000 Phrases for Social Interaction," "How to Move People's Hearts with Words," and "The Secret to Making Friends" that were laying next to him on the desk.

He had carefully written twenty or so messages and sent them over, but this guy didn't react at all.

Tang Jun knew he hadn’t studied this hard even when taking the college entrance exam. It was rare for him to go through so much effort to try and win someone’s favor, so how could this person remain untouched?

Could he not be human?

Tang Jun quickly rejected that idea. What AI could be that intelligent? This guy went out early and came back late, and even went online to look up learning materials!

That’s right, went out early and came back late!

Tang Jun got excited when he thought of this and slapped the desk loudly.

In the living room, the sound of keyboards clacking was very loud since everyone else was fully focused on their computer screens, no one paid attention to the noise coming from Tang Jun’s room.

Tang Jun found relevant clues and used his twenty years of detective drama experience to speculate.

Judging by this person’s posting times on the forum, there were posts on weekdays Monday through Friday, and weekends too.

At the beginning, he had asked for book recommendations on the forum, saying he had used them to study for so many days and so many hours.

Most people would be working or at school during this time. Based on his previous forum posts, it seemed very much like he was joking around with everyone.

But Tang Jun knew that wasn’t a joke!

That guy really was a genius! A bona fide genius!

When others asked why he was looking for those books, he said it was his first time online and he wanted to understand how the Internet was structured!

Nowadays were there any adults who hadn’t been exposed to the internet? Tang Jun felt the possibility was unlikely, even the computer labs in rural village elementary schools had computers.

So was it an elderly person who had waited until retirement age to learn how to use the internet?

And with such complex internet algorithms involving English pronouns, he had learned it quickly. That would be impossible without some relevant foundation!

It wasn’t some remote mountain village devoid of technology, nor was it some young genius! It must be a highly educated elderly person who was bored at home and went online to pass the time.

Tang Jun glanced at the clock to check the time—nine o’clock, pretty early!

Let alone young people nowadays, even middle-aged people don’t sleep that early. For an elderly person it was completely reasonable behavior.

No wonder he remained unmoved no matter how Tang Jun tried to persuade him with emotion or reason before.

Why would a retired old man still think about going to work?

So how should one try to move an old man’s heart?

Tang Jun sat at his desk, clutching his hair in anguish!

He and his colleagues had been working hard here for many days already, they couldn’t just watch their plan fail before their eyes.

The most important things when trying to influence elderly people were sincerity, and...and an ardent patriotic spirit—Tang Jun’s mind sparked with inspiration.

After figuring out the other person’s identity, Tang Jun’s quick-thinking mind started spinning out ideas, and he began typing line after line on the keyboard.

[Elder sir, I know it’s wrong of me to keep disturbing you these past few days, but I truly have an urgent matter I’d like to ask for your help with. We’ve now encountered an extremely pressing issue that requires your assistance. I hate my own insignificance and powerlessness, I hate that I can’t just take off my shirt and get into a fistfight with them! Give those public nuisances a good beating...]

[...I’m not trying to coerce you by appealing to nationalism either, I just want to beg you, beg you to help us get through this difficult time. Please feel free to make any demands, if it’s something I can accomplish for you, then I will definitely do it. Please consider this carefully, don’t reject me hastily. Even if you don’t need anything yourself, perhaps your family needs something that I could help out with. ]

After Tang Jun finished typing out this passage, he anxiously awaited a response.

Why would an elderly genius, who hadn’t learned about computers until so late in life, suddenly start picking it up now?

It couldn’t possibly be just because he had recently gained access to a computer!

It must be because his children or grandchildren wanted it. The elderly man went to take a look in order to fulfill the wishes of the younger generations.

If this issue could get resolved, arranging a second-class merit as a reward wouldn’t be a problem. In the future, they could also give the old man’s grandchildren some extra points or benefits.

Tang Jun was confident this was the most moving rhetoric he could come up with.

Upon seeing one message box after another pop up on the screen, Shen Feixian started pondering how to handle this matter.
