[Urban Fantasy + Wild Imagination + Feel-Good Power Fantasy]
I’m Lu Yuan, 25 years old, and I work as a food delivery rider.
I’m so broke I can barely scrape by, I owe 80,000 yuan on my credit card, and my landlord blocks the door every day.
Then one day, I found a phone while making a delivery.
Its screen was lit up, showing a group chat:
[Three Realms Chit-Chat Group]
Tai Bai Jinxing: Anyone have Taobao 88VIP? Could someone help me order an alchemy furnace? It’ll save me 3,000 merit points.
King Yama: Urgently hiring an earthly-world personal shopper! We’re out of ingredients for Meng Po Soup. We need 500 cases of “Heart Forgetting Water” mineral water. Freight collect.
Dragon King of the East Sea: Our Dragon Palace wants to start livestream selling. Anyone have an operations team? We can negotiate the commission.
Sun Wukong: My old Sun’s Golden-Hooped Rod needs an upgrade. Anyone know a Huawei engineer? I want one with 5G.
I figured they’d escaped from a mental hospital, so I casually replied:
“I’m a delivery rider. If you need someone to shop for you, I can pick things up along the way.”
The group fell silent for three seconds.
Then an Alipay notification rang out:
Tai Bai Jinxing sent you 100,000 merit points (exchanged at the current rate for 1 million yuan).
Note: Little brother, here’s the deposit. There’ll be more once the job’s done.
I looked at the delivery box in my hands, then at the phone screen.
I quietly messaged my supervisor: I’m taking this week off. I have something to deal with.
Supervisor: What is it?
Me: Doing business with the immortals.
It looks pretty good so far, and I hope it continues like this!
