Chapter 37 Dogs and People (Small Chapter)(1/2)

【We are all just dogs】

Hongshi went to the world, after the day of overtime work, an impulse suddenly appeared in the heart of a man named Lu Cangyuan.

He wanted to tear all the work boards and manuscripts in his hand in front of the leader in an inch by inch, then stuff them into the other person's ears, nostrils and mouth, then lit a fire to burn the poker face beyond recognition.

He really wanted to do it, and he really wanted to do it. When he first came to this department twenty-five years ago, he felt that his leader who had never praised him was targeting him.

This is indeed the case.

In the first few years, he thought that he was indeed not doing well enough, but then he tried his best to make him flawlessly realize that he was simply not liked by his leader.

Fairness and justice, of course. Hongshi’s upper realm is always fair and just. It is impossible for anyone to suppress any situation at will, but the rules are always implemented by people, and they can always find loopholes.

Or in other words, there is no real fairness and justice in this world.

After all, there are only so many places to evaluate, and no one can be flawless. Just think about what Lu Cangyuan did not do well enough, and the aspects that others did better are the focus of the investigation. Then anyone can get an "excellent" evaluation, get a salary increase subsidy, or even get upgraded performance, and Lu Cangyuan can only regret losing.

The reason for all this, in Lu Cangyuan's opinion, was nothing more than squeezing out the quota of this leader's child when he was admitted to the top academy... old-fashioned, but it is indeed the source of most hostility.

Lu Cangyuan has not never won the best. After all, even a fool must know how to avoid suspicion, let alone this is enough.

Evaluation is an indicator for a company's employees to obtain spiritual energy and one of the most important indicators. The spiritual energy that men can obtain is one-tenth of that of ordinary colleagues.

Twenty-five years have passed, and his salary and cultivation are far inferior to those of his friends of the same period, and there is no possibility of promotion. Even if his talent is far superior to those mediocre peers and far exceeds that of everyone in this large department.

But he couldn't get spiritual energy, so he could only bow his knees to everyone.

All of this is thanks to the leader who has been holding grudges for how long God knows, and I am afraid that he has turned his suppression into a habit.

Lu Cangyuan really wanted to attack the leader and devour the other party alive. Some people might think that this idea was too cruel, but it was the despair that had not seen the light of day for twenty-five years and could only waste his time in the same place. He could not even report the other party's abuse of power, because in Hongshi's upper realm, everyone did a good job, everyone abides by laws, rules and regulations, and does their work seriously.

He has no decisive gap with others, so how could he arrogantly think that if he did not get the "outstanding", he would be suppressed by his boss?

Maybe, it's just that he didn't do well enough.

【I am a dog, a smart dog】

So, impulse was just impulse. Lu Cangyuan packed up his things silently, and did not talk to his leaders and colleagues around him. He harnessed a light of inspiration at the door of the company and returned home.

No one knew what Lu Cangyuan was thinking, no one knew that Lu Cangyuan finally suppressed the madness that surged in his heart. They just felt that Lu Cangyuan was as silent as ever, and was a gentle and somewhat unlucky good person.

Smart dogs know when to bark and when to bite people. Now is not the time to bite people, and maybe they will never wait for the time to bite people in the future.

Lu Cangyuan felt that he was extra good at patience. If he was not good at it, he might have gone crazy long ago. After all, not everyone can accept the fact that he is a dog, or in other words, most people are so stupid that they don’t realize that they are dogs.

They feel that they are human beings, just like most ordinary people, and they think they have freedom.

Among all the people Lu Cangyuan knew, he realized that he was just a dog that could not bite people, and even yelled would be forbidden.

His master circled the scope of action for him and was told, 'You can only go here, not over', and only the stupidest dog would cross the boundaries set by the owner and be punished.

Lu Cangyuan is very smart, so he will never commit sins and will not violate any precepts.

He returned home silently, and his wife happened to come home from get off work, and brought back his angry son and his absent-looking daughter.

"I'm back, my dear..." Lu Cangyuan wanted to say hello, but he smiled at the children.

"Bang!"

But his wife closed the door hard, and her expression was ugly, like a dull storm. The man rationally did not touch the other person's brows, but instead called the children back to their respective rooms.

“Hmph…bore.”

But the child did not give him a good look. The teenage eldest son frowned and returned to the room. His words and deeds were full of rebellion and adventurousness. This was also the norm at this age. He rolled his eyes to his father with bronchitis and closed his door.

"Stop quarrel, mom and dad~"

The younger daughter returned to her room with a silly smile. She knew she had a date at school and was now happily recalling her romantic memories. The emotions between her parents could not affect her joy.

And when the man is alone with his wife, what he encounters is an ordinary explosion.

Lu Cangyuan was not valued and his strength was not strong. Even Lu Cangyuan's wife and children knew this.

He did graduate from the most elite cultivator academy. His wife once married Lu Cangyuan for this reason and was also angry because of this reason. What she wanted to marry into was an ambitious elite, rather than being a waste who had been playing tricks all the time, without any ambition, and would only live a mediocre life with her children.

Look at Lao Zhao next door! I really married a bed bug!

When the child is not beside her, her wife always criticizes Lao Lu in a desperate situation. She will elaborate on the story of many families' male owners working hard, but still failing to give up. After working hard to practice, she is recognized by her superiors and then promoted and raises.

She will also tell the beautiful stories of those lucky people who suddenly emerged and were appreciated by the big names above, and fantasized about the feeling of those people being their own.

She hopes that her partner can also change herself like in the story, work with herself and change her destiny.

This woman believed the rumors.

And Lu Cangyuan knew that none of this was possible.

Because he is not that kind of person, he can't flatter others and can't learn how to say good things that can make each other's face worthy.

In the final analysis, Lu Cangyuan is such a person who is not liked by his leader, despised by his wife, his son looks down upon him and feels old. His daughter doesn't even think that he can solve the problems he encounters by asking his father.

He is such a man who suffers from the crisis of midlife, has no way to rise, lives like years, and is very painful just to live, and cannot see the hope of life at all.

"This shouldn't be my ending."

Lu Cangyuan thought so: "Why should I live like this?"

A man is too smart. He shouldn't be a dog who lives by following the laws set by others. He could have been unrestrained. He was not evil when he did what he wanted. Of course, he could not be called kind. Lu Cangyuan just hated his current life.

He was fifty-five years old, and his cultivation had just reached the command of the human immortal. His life had just begun, and his mentality should be very young. But in fact, Lu Cangyuan felt that he had spent most of his life, and what was left was nothing more than simple repetitions of the past twenty-five years.

But this shouldn't be the case. Lu Cangyuan is actually very smart and has a very high talent for practicing. He can defeat a group of practitioners of the same class and enter the highest extraordinary academy. If he could freely absorb spiritual energy, he would have stepped forward to the threshold of the earthly immortals and become a member of the immortal gods.

But here's the problem.

The upper realm of Hongshi cannot freely absorb spiritual energy. Everyone needs to persevere in their practice. They must go through various assessments, be recognized by people around them, and be allowed to recognize them by everyone before they can leverage the inspiration between heaven and earth and turn them into their own power.

Lu Cangyuan couldn't do it. He didn't have such a likable talent. He might be able to be a good person, but he couldn't make everyone like him.

He tried to be a barking, gentle and likable dog, but without soft fur, loud voice, and even if he was not a good-for-age person, he would not care about the insignificant show of kindness.

Therefore, with the talent of the empty teacher, he has never been able to practice with all his heart.

【I am a dog, but I shouldn’t be a dog】

Lu Cangyuan hated the order of the entire world in Hongshi upper realm. Only by the recognition of others can we unlock the spiritual power required for practice. If it were not recognized by many people and loved by everyone, even if it was extremely talented, it would not be possible to become a strong immortal god.

All the strong are great charitable people who are dedicated to the public and sincerely perform for all living beings. Naturally, they will not be corrupt, fool the group when dealing with problems, and will not make official accusations, nor will they commit fraud or favor one side.

It sounds like nothing wrong.

The upper realm of Hongshi is indeed safer than all the worlds in the surrounding multiverse voids. Those who do not receive the recognition of sentient beings cannot obtain the power at all. The evil people cannot even do evil, so they can only obediently obediently obediently the laws of Hongshi's upper realm.

Therefore, in the Hongshi upper realm, even crimes did not have all malice in most of the time, and the foundation was cut off from its original source.

Because it is not just the sudden sudden growth of "evil" but not the growth, even "not love" will be rejected.

but……

Do you have to be liked by living alone?

Does it mean that when a person lives, he has to cater to the eyes of others?

Do you have to love all living beings with all your heart when you live alone?

People are not born to please others.

At least, it is not just born to please others.

Lu Cangyuan always thought so, and this was the result of his thinking.

It’s not that he is unwilling to do good deeds, nor is he unwilling to contribute for his wife and children, and for his family and friends who have taken care of him, but his willingness is different from being forced to "contribute". He hates the feeling of "having to do it".

Especially, in Hongshi's upper realm, he only has one choice.

Lu Cangyuan's tragedy is here.

He was so smart that he could realize that even if he hated it, the order of Hongshi's upper realm was indeed better for sentient beings.

He himself is also the beneficiary of this order. His birth, growth, and even now he is hostile to his superiors, but he can still live a stable life. He all depends on those strong people who are dedicated to serving all living beings.

Even if the Dragon King accidentally gets wet a child during the rain, he will be punished and reduce his cultivation.

If the God of Traveling Day and Night does not notice the complaints within his jurisdiction, he may be deprived of his power and dismissed from his post.

When he was young, Lu Cangyuan was saved by the God of Riyou. When he was learning magic, he accidentally lit his clothes, and the spirit fire was difficult to extinguish. It was a God of Riyou who arrived at the first time and saved him, who was frightened and crying, playing with fire to burn himself, and comforted the child's fragile heart, which did not make Lu Cangyuan fear and shadow about the magic.

To this day, the man is still thanking the day travel god.

Lu Cangyuan knew that this world and this order were beneficial to all ordinary people. He enjoyed the welfare of the Hongshi Order and had no reason to resist.

Yes, my leader suppressed himself with the order of Hongshi, but so what? I have been wasting more than ten years at most, but if I had not had the order of Emperor Hongshi, why could I grow up safely and get the best opportunity for education under fair competition?

In this world, he can at least live.

If he left Hongshi's protection, Lu Cangyuan knew very clearly that with his current skill, he would be really just an ant in the void of the multiverse.

What's more, are there other powerful people in the order of Hongshi who have been separated from it?

Will the order of Tianfeng and Xuan Renzi be better than that of Hongshi? Compared with those of those who are obviously not serious, Emperor Hongshi is strict, but at least he does have true love.

Lu Cangyuan has no way to change this world, he has no power to resist this world, and he has no chance to escape from this world.

Since that's the case, he actually has a last choice.
To be continued...
