Chapter Thirty-One Offending



"Get out, get out of here right now!" Lu Xian pointed at the stairwell not far away and shouted angrily at Wang Yao. His voice was trembling. He couldn't talk to this kid. The more he talked, the angrier he got. He was afraid that he would lose control and slap the kid to death.

Seeing Lü Xian's furious outburst, Wang Yao didn't know how he had offended him again, so he didn't dare to say anything more and quickly slipped away. Anyway, there was still plenty of time in the future, and he could slowly mend the relationship. At worst, he could just give him the fake cigarettes and alcohol that Hu Fei and Luan Chu had given him.

Lu Xian didn't seem like someone who was short of money, so he probably wouldn't throw away gifts given to him by his bank account for 65% of the value. He probably wouldn't have discovered that the cigarettes and alcohol were fake.

While thinking about how to improve his relationship with Lü Xian, Wang Yao hurriedly went upstairs. Although Caixia had opened his immortal realm interface, he didn't dare to go against his boss. He wanted to advance his career, but if he offended his leader, how could he possibly advance?

Once upstairs, Wang Yao looked around and saw Xiao Liu waving at him discreetly from a short distance away. Although this guy wasn't very reliable, Wang Yao still trusted him quite a bit. This kid knew how to flatter him, so he probably wouldn't set a trap for him.

"I'm so sorry, Wang Xian, it's all my fault, I'm sorry to have startled you...!" When Wang Yao got closer, Xiao Liu first glanced nervously at the interface panel in his hand, then grabbed Wang Yao's free hand and apologized repeatedly.

"It's alright, it's alright. How do I get there?" Wang Yao didn't want to waste any more time with him, so he gave a brief reply and then asked about the path to the human realm.

"Just go to my place. It's right next to the South Heavenly Gate, so it's convenient for you to come and go," Xiao Liu said hurriedly.

"Nantianmen? Shouldn't it be a gate? How come it's an elevator?" Wang Yao was suspicious, but since he had taken the elevator up, it made logical sense for him to take it down now, so he didn't delve into it further with Xiao Liu.

When they arrived at Xiao Liu's office, Xiao Liu told Wang Yao to wait a moment, then crawled under the table and took out the can of tea from earlier.

"Immortal Wang, I don't have much to offer here, only this jar of immortal tea. Please forgive my oversight this time." Little Liu handed the tea to Wang Yao, pleading incessantly. Wang Yao blinked.

He thought to himself that he had been so frightened that he almost got chopped into pieces by that Director Li. It was all because Xiao Liu forgot to give a speech. Taking some tea back was the right thing to do, and he really did want to break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement stage.

"Oh, why are you being so polite? It was just a false alarm, a false alarm!" Wang Yao thought to himself, and stopped being so polite. He kept being polite to Xiao Liu while accepting the immortal tea and putting it into the Qiankun of the interface panel.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Liu, Wang Yao pressed the button next to the elevator door, went inside, and selected a floor in the lobby. The elevator was incredibly fast; before Wang Yao could even properly appreciate the allure of the foot massage girls in the advertisement, two numbers had already appeared on the LCD screen, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in the human realm.

Stepping out of the elevator, Wang Yao found himself still in the lobby of the Civilization Building. The distance between the two elevators seemed short, but to Wang Yao, it felt like a life-or-death separation. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, recalling Hua Gu's instructions before he left.

Hua Gu said that going to other realms was too dangerous for him, but the Immortal Realm was also extremely dangerous. Even though he was being very careful, he still almost lost his life.

He was still in shock when he was startled by the boisterous noise in the lobby. It was normal for the Civilization Building to be a bit noisy as it was a tourist attraction, but the noise was too uniform.

"Come back, come back, come back quickly!" Many people were shouting the same thing, though their pronunciations varied slightly, but the fervor and urgency were almost identical. Wang Yao wondered to himself, "Could it be that some tourists have lost their minds and gone down to Wenming Road for a 'experience'?"

He became curious and hurriedly walked to the glass curtain wall of the lobby, stood on tiptoe and looked out. He saw an old man wearing a tourist hat standing outside the Civilization Building with his back turned. However, he did not go down to Civilization Road, but instead huddled in a corner on the side of the steps of the Civilization Building, as if he was urinating there.

"What's wrong with your husband? There are surveillance cameras right outside the Civilization Building. They can even monitor him when he relieves himself around that corner!" A tour guide holding a "Golden Years" flag was angrily berating an old lady.

"I... my husband has prostate problems. He just searched for a whole bunch of restrooms, and the ones in the building charge money. I was just getting change for him when he... Lao Yu, come back quickly!" The old lady wiped away her tears and called out desperately towards the door.

"That's it, urinating and defecating anywhere, we'll have to pay at least six months' worth of pension as a 'civility tax'," an old man said gloatingly.

Hearing what the old man said, the old lady almost collapsed. She tried desperately to push forward, but the tour guide quickly pulled her back.

"You shouldn't go. If you go and pull, you'll lose points again. Since he's already peed, let him pee to his heart's content. Anyway, the length of time he pees doesn't count towards civility points."

"Old Yu, you old fool! To save a dollar, you've squandered half a year's pension! You've really lost out this time!" Although the tour guide managed to calm her down, the old lady couldn't shake off the pain in her heart. She pointed at the old man outside who was shaking and cursed him angrily.

Wang Yao nodded secretly to himself. This "civilized monitoring" was really effective. Urinating and defecating anywhere was simply uncivilized and a public outcry. This was how it should be dealt with! He spent half a year's pension on one pee; his memory should be better now, right? But why does this "civilized building" charge for using the toilet?
