Chapter 1: Slacking to Stay Alive
The afternoon sun over Chang'an was vicious, hot enough to fry oil out of the bluestone pavement. Heat waves distorted the view in the distance; the air felt like it had turned to amber, thick and still, with not a single breeze in sight. Lu Yan had only been transported to this world for less than two shichen, and he couldn't dig a single copper coin out of his pockets.
He stood in the most secluded corner of Zhuque Avenue, facing a table so worn down it was on the verge of collapsing. Its legs looked like they might give out under the scorching sun.
On the table sat a single, coarse porcelain teacup. Inside, half a cup of murky tea swirled with a few floating leaves. Next to it stood a lonely wooden sign, the characters scrawled crookedly: "Mr. Lu, tells tales of the strange and weird. Listen to the story, save your life."
He’d just learned to write these characters. The strokes were stiff, reeking of illiteracy and desperation, looking like they’d been scratched into the dirt with his feet.
A few vagrants idling nearby eyed him with suspicion, their whispers buzzing in his ears like mosquitoes. Some pointed at the sign, mocking Lu Yan for being a fraudulent charlatan; others looked with concern at his empty hands, guessing he was so starving his head had gone.
Lu Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to rant internally. On the outside, he maintained the composure of polished jade, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table with a soft tap-tap, masking his inner anxiety. He was screaming in his head: Great Tang, can’t you at least grant me some starting funds?
