Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 282: Do Even the Mentally Ill Need to Find Jobs?

Language is a strange thing.

Behind it may represent something.

Qi Yuan didn't think about these things anymore, but sat down and thought about something.

"The Qi Yuan Scripture cannot be cultivated here. I need to cultivate a simplified version."

In this game world, Qi Yuan's goal is to improve his strength.

Currently, there is no clear way to gain experience by killing monsters, so cultivation is the only option.

The cultivation of the Qi Yuan Scripture is quite complex. Even if we don't mention the Stellar Gold Core, just the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building is difficult to replicate.

So Qi Yuan plans to create a castrated version of the Qi Yuan Scripture to cultivate.

To improve his own strength.

After all, the cultivation he returns to his original body through the integration of the Innate seed is no longer the pitiful tiny bit it used to be.

Qi Yuan's current plan is to quickly improve his realm and obtain self-defense capabilities.

Then participate in the Martial Dao Conference.

After all, in case his martial talent is not good enough and he can't win in the Martial Dao Conference, he still has the Dao Law, right?

It seems that there is no rule that prohibits the use of Immortal Law in the Martial Dao Conference.

Outside the Jun'an community, two men and a woman carrying fruits walked towards Qi Yuan's house, talking and laughing.

Wang Xu touched his glasses. Among the three, he was the focus due to his tall stature.

During college, Wang Xu was the class monitor. He used his family connections and his own efforts to work at the Maritime Bureau.

Qin Yuanguo's maritime hegemony is unparalleled in the world, and maritime trade is prosperous. Working at the Maritime Bureau is a highly sought-after job.

Such a decent job naturally attracted envy from other classmates.

"Li Yan, why? Do you still have feelings for Qi Yuan?" Wang Xu asked.

Li Yan tied her hair into a high ponytail and wore bell-bottom pants on her slender thighs. She was tall, but her appearance could only be considered above average. Today, she had light makeup on, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

She smiled when she heard Wang Xu's words. "I was young and ignorant back then, but now..."

She shook her head.

During college, she had a crush on Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan's looks were unique in the class.

She had always wanted to pursue Qi Yuan, but unfortunately, she was rejected.

Later, when she learned that Qi Yuan had a mental illness, she distanced herself from him.

Qi Yuan may have a good appearance, but she didn't want to marry someone with a mental illness.

Otherwise, if other girls found out, it would be too embarrassing.

In their dormitory, there was a sister who got pregnant right after graduation and married a young man from a small town below the county.

On the surface, they didn't say anything bad about that roommate, but behind her back, they would say that her brain was broken, and her life was over.

With such a precedent, Li Yan would never really consider having any involvement with Qi Yuan.

A one-night stand might be acceptable, but marriage was out of the question.

Otherwise, she would be laughed at.

"Ah, Qi Yuan's life is really tough. He was already an orphan, and after finally getting into college, he developed a mental illness. Now... he has a serious illness, I don't know what will happen to him." The man with a crew cut said, his eyes filled with a touch of sorrow.

However, there seemed to be a hint of greed hidden in his expression, well concealed so that no one noticed.

"Ah, misfortune always befalls those with a hard life." Wang Xu sighed, feeling a sense of pity for Qi Yuan.

Not long after, the three of them knocked on the door of Qi Yuan's house.

The man with a crew cut looked around, seemingly satisfied.

Soon, the door was opened.

Qi Yuan stood at the door, looking at the three people outside with a calm expression. "Old classmates, you've come. Come in and have a seat."

Wang Xu's face showed a surprised expression, but quickly hid it. "Qi Yuan, your complexion... why is it so pale?"

Now, Qi Yuan looks like a sickly child, as if he's about to die soon.

"Mmm, I'm sick," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

He looked at the three classmates in front of him, memories flooding in like a tide.

When Innate Seeds were still around, they had also come to see Qi Yuan.

But Qi Yuan was lying in a hospital bed, in a state of deep sleep and coma, unable to speak or communicate.

"Have you been to the hospital? Is it serious?" Li Yan asked with concern.

After all, the former heartthrob has become like this now, possibly on the verge of death. She felt a bit emotional, is this the price of growing up?

"Not serious, just a minor issue," Qi Yuan waved his hand.

As long as he cultivates immortality, are these problems still considered problems?

Of course, he temporarily cannot solve the curse-like issues with his body, but delaying the recurrence of the curse and becoming an ordinary person is still achievable.

"This is just a minor issue? Look at your complexion!" Li Yan couldn't help but say, her eyes turning red, seemingly saddened for Qi Yuan.

Although she no longer has feelings for Qi Yuan, she can't bear to see him die at such a young age.

"Li Yan, you're overthinking it. Qi Yuan can stand up and talk to us now, so it shouldn't be a big problem," the crew-cut guy said.

Indeed, if he were seriously ill, he would have to lie in bed.

Someone who can stand up and talk like this indicates that the problem isn't significant.

"Yes, I'm fine. I can eat six steamed buns in one meal," Qi Yuan said, then sat down on a chair.

Although this kind of pain is nothing to him, he doesn't have a masochistic tendency. Naturally, he will do whatever makes him comfortable.

"In a few days, my illness will be cured," Qi Yuan said confidently.

His words relieved the people present.

At this time, Wang Xu asked, "Qi Yuan, haven't you found a job yet? Do you want me to introduce you to one? The salary isn't high, but it's relaxed and stable."

Wang Xu revealed his purpose.

Now, he is in the Maritime Bureau and is currently in the probation period.

Helping the child of a martyr like Qi Yuan would earn him a lot of bonus points.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was stunned, "Am I mentally ill? Do mentally ill people need to find a job?"

Would any company dare to hire someone with a mental illness?

This Wang Xu is too naive. Do mentally ill people need to find a job?

Wang Xu couldn't help but pause.

Because, it was the first time he had heard a mentally ill person say, "Do mentally ill people need to work?"

It sounded particularly strange.

Li Yan was also stunned.

But then she understood, mentally ill people are not stupid, they just have some issues with their thoughts.

"If you don't work, according to the state subsidies, you can indeed live on. But... " Wang Xu pondered, "Qi Yuan, what I'm about to say may be hurtful, please don't take it to heart. If you continue to live at home without a proper job, it will be difficult for you to get married and have children. Even if it's an arranged marriage arranged by the state, those women won't be interested in you."

For the children of martyrs, Qin Yuanguo provides many guarantees.

Not only various subsidies, but also arranged marriages.

However, due to Qi Yuan's mental issues, he is probably at the bottom of the marriage market.

After all, which woman would want to burden herself with someone like him?

"Yes, Qi Yuan, you don't have a stable job now, so your success rate in arranged marriages is too low. Unlike Wang Xu, who works in the Maritime Bureau and is about to be promoted at such a young age."

"If he goes on a blind date, he'll be a hot commodity." Li Yan smoothed her hair and looked at Wang Xu with envy.

"You're exaggerating, I just have an ordinary job." Wang Xu waved his hand, but the proud look in his eyes couldn't be hidden. He continued to look at Qi Yuan and slowly said, "I found you an easy job, just watching over a warehouse for someone, making sure no one steals anything. It doesn't require any technical skills, anyone can do it."

Li Yan also quickly advised, "That's right, Qi Yuan, you should consider it. Your parents don't want their family line to end, right?"

Seeing this, Qi Yuan smiled, "Working is impossible."

He shook his head directly.

Going back to a modern society similar to Blue Star and still having to work.

Is this asking him to die?

"Don't worry about me, even without working, I will find a wife!" Qi Yuan said without hesitation.

If he wanted to, he could even go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Xiao Jia and get married.

And when his strength improved a bit and he brought the projection of the Stellar Gold Core to this universe, he could summon Ning Tao as well and get married together.

It's just that he might commit bigamy.

But Qi Yuan wasn't afraid.

He had a certificate for mental illness.

This certificate was a protective Divine Weapon.

He wasn't afraid of breaking the law, so why would he be afraid of bigamy?

"Well..." Wang Xu wanted to say something else.

After all, Qi Yuan was sick, unemployed, and wanting to get married and have children, which made things even more difficult.

"If you don't have a job..." Li Yan wanted to say something else, "and no money, you can't even afford to eat a good meal."

At this moment, the man with a crew cut brightened up, "Oh, you guys are too old-fashioned in your thinking. With Qi Yuan's conditions, how can he not find a wife? I know a girl who is quite beautiful and virtuous, and she has been wanting to go on blind dates recently. I'll introduce her to Qi Yuan."

Li Yan heard this and hesitated, whispering in the crew cut man's ear, "Don't harm the girl."

Wang Xu looked at the crew cut man and showed a thoughtful expression, "What kind of person is she? What's her character like?"

"She has a very good character, she even received a scholarship in college. Ah, her background is a bit poor, from a remote area, but she's very hardworking. She has always wanted a household registration in Tianyue City... so..." The crew cut man explained the girl's background.

A girl from a poor background with a strong drive to succeed.

Tianyue City was the provincial capital of the Qin Yuan country.

Household registration here was quite valuable.

Especially with Qi Yuan's three-bedroom apartment.

If this apartment were to be sold, it would be worth four to five million Qin Yuan coins, something that people from a poor background would struggle to afford even after a lifetime of hard work.

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, "Qi Yuan is your old classmate, don't deceive him. What if that girl..."

He couldn't say the rest of his words.

What if it was a marriage scam?

After all, Qi Yuan had some mental issues.

If that girl used some means, she could probably get Qi Yuan's property and wealth.

"Don't worry, the girl I know is very honest." The crew cut man smiled, "She is also very traditional and conservative. If she decides on someone, she probably won't give up for a lifetime. Last time, she complained to me that she met a blind date guy only three times, and he was already eager to hold her hand. She looked down on him, which shows how conservative she is."

The crew cut man said happily.

Of course, these words were said by the girl in his bed.

At that time, the crew cut man asked, "We've only met twice, and that blind date guy has met you more, why..."

The girl shook her head and said, "You're different, he's a blind date."

Wang Xu remained silent upon hearing this.

"Why, Squad Leader, do you not trust me, Cui Fan?" the crew-cut man asked, his voice carrying a hint of interrogation.

Wang Xu hesitated for a long time but still couldn't speak.

Then Cui Fan, displeased, said, "Squad Leader, although I made mistakes and borrowed some high-interest loans when I was in college, I have already turned over a new leaf after graduation and have had a proper job for a long time. Don't judge me with colored glasses!"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Yan said, "Wang Xu, Cui Fan is different now. He became a supervisor at a pharmaceutical company less than a year after graduating."

At this moment, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

Although he had a subsidy now, he only had a little over two thousand yuan per month.

This was barely enough for his own living expenses.

If he wanted to purchase various materials for cultivation and martial arts, he needed money.

Hearing Cui Fan mention high-interest loans, many thoughts came to his mind.

Should he follow in the footsteps of his old friend... and borrow high-interest loans?

Qi Yuan had seen many TV shows and anime, where the protagonists lacked money in the early stages of their ventures.

What should one do when lacking money?

Borrow high-interest loans!

And not repay them!

After all, most of Qin Yuanguo's high-interest loans operated on the fringes of the law.

These high-interest loans were mostly backed by the underworld and were unscrupulous.

Qi Yuan's borrowing could also be considered a way to eliminate evil.

After all, he wouldn't repay the money.

"I won't get involved in this matter. As long as you can convince Qi Yuan," Wang Xu continued.

Whether it was for promotion or not, helping Qi Yuan with a job was no big deal.

"Okay," the crew-cut man said with a bright smile.

Qi Yuan also nodded and said with good emotional intelligence, "Thank you."

In the following time, the group chatted in the room for a while.

Concerned about Qi Yuan's physical condition, they didn't stay too long.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the empty room, took out his phone, and found Cui Fan's contact in the address book.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message: "Cui Fan, can you lend me some money?"

It was better to trouble others than to trouble himself.

After all, Cui Fan seemed to have ill intentions towards him.

"What? Borrow money? How much and what for?" Cui Fan's reply came quickly.

"Borrow ten thousand yuan. I'm currently short on money," Qi Yuan casually replied.

"Well..." Cui Fan hesitated. If he wasn't planning to take Qi Yuan's family property, he wouldn't bother with someone borrowing money. But at this moment, he was still considerate, "I don't have any money on me right now, sorry."

By the way, Qi Yuan, do you want to meet Xiaomei in three days? If you do, I can tell you a way to make money."

"Sure." Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a smile. He had been waiting for this sentence.

With Cui Fan's personality, how could he be willing to lend ten thousand yuan to him?

"I have a contact for a high-interest loan. How about meeting that person after three days when you meet Xiaomei?" Cui Fan hesitated.

"Um... Do they lend a lot of money? I need more." Qi Yuan asked.

He wanted to borrow more.

"A lot. Don't worry, with your house as collateral, borrowing four to five million yuan is no problem," Cui Fan answered truthfully.

Qi Yuan's house was worth four to five million yuan, but in reality, he couldn't get that much.

And both he and Xiaomei owed the high-interest loan hundreds of thousands of yuan.

It was precisely because they couldn't repay the money that they conspired together to deceive Qi Yuan's house.
