Shen Ji was a blue dragon. He overslept while meditating in seclusion, and when he finally woke up, it was already the twenty-first century. All the other dragons had ascended, leaving him alone.
Shen Ji didn't dare go back to sleep. He hurriedly cast a divination and discovered there was still a way to fix things. If he found ninety-nine spirit stones and placed them in a teleportation formation, he could force open a crack in the passage to ascension, then he could... squeeze through.
It wasn't very dignified, but at least he could ascend. Shen Ji hurried down the mountain to look for spirit stones, only to discover that the spiritual energy in this world was so thin that all the spirit stones had crumbled to dust.
Shen Ji searched for half a month without finding a single spirit stone. Instead, he was dazzled by the bustling world...
The amazing high-tech gadgets, countless local delicacies, and all kinds of entertainment were things Shen Ji had never seen before entering seclusion. He was soon captivated and eager to try them, but he had no money, so he started looking for a job.
He had no degree, no experience, and no ID. The only thing he knew how to do was tell fortunes. When he went out to set up a fortune-telling stall, a greasy middle-aged man took one look at his handsome face and said he wanted to keep him.
Shen Ji didn't know what being kept meant. A rat spirit scurried over and explained it to him. Once Shen Ji understood, he nearly flew into a rage and beat the man up.
The rat spirit stopped him and showed him a better way.
