That Shady Brokerage Can Do Archaeology, Cultivate Immortality, and Brave the Apocalypse

[Five Thousand Years of Transmigration] [Mythology] [Apocalypse] [Cultivation] [Jurassic Period] [Primordial Wilderness]

On Monday, Zhou Yi is dumped by his girlfriend for being broke and kicked out of the factory. Just as he's about to grab his bucket and leave, he obtains the Myriad Worlds Paid Work System and opens a shady labor agency.

Other people recruit workers for factories like Foxconn and Midea. Zhou Yi, on the other hand, tricks people into paying to work: hauling bricks in the Qin Dynasty, fighting zombies in an apocalyptic wasteland, or forging weapons and refining pills in the cultivation world.

Zhou Yi advertises with grand confidence: "Pay a thousand yuan to work on the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, ten thousand miles away. Honest service, no fooling anyone, young or old. Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."

"Don't fall for it! He's a con artist, a heartless capitalist!" Countless people condemn him, barely stopping short of calling the police.

But then...

"Boss Zhou, I'll pay ten thousand to help build the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

"Boss Zhou, I'll pay a million to mine in the apocalyptic wasteland..."

"Boss Zhou, I'll pay ten billion to spend a day as an alchemy apprentice in the cultivation world..."

From then on, the world changes completely. This shady agency turns out to be downright conscientious. You really can learn something by paying to work.

A wage slave back from the Great Qin: "My charming ancestor nearly buried us alive in the imperial mausoleum and the Great Wall."

An expert back from the Ming Dynasty: "I was driving a convoy during the Empty Seal Case, and Zhu Yuanzhang's Great Pronouncements had me in their sights. Good thing my whole family wasn't in the Ming Dynasty, or we'd really have been skinned and stuffed with straw."

A businessman back from the apocalyptic wasteland: "Damn... The place was crawling with zombies. I mined, trafficked in high-tech gear, and even awakened an ability. That was awesome."

A tycoon back from the cultivation world: "I fanned the flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Lord Laozi. Those Nine-Turn Golden Pills were so tempting..."

Someone asks Zhou Yi, "Why not hand it over to the state?"
