"Mr. Luo, these are the registration and filing documents for this month. Thank you for your help!"
An ordinary middle-aged man, who looked no different from anyone else, respectfully handed a document to Luo Tian, his face showing a hint of flattery.
Luo Tian took the document handed to him by the transmigrator from another world, and nodded with a smile in agreement.
"Can I leave now?"
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Tian with a hesitant expression and asked respectfully.
Luo Tian casually flipped through the document and replied:
"There are still some things in the document that are uncertain. Please wait here for a moment while I verify them one by one before we talk about it."
The middle-aged man, who was rather reserved, did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. After nodding in agreement, he carefully sat down to the side.
Luo Tian appeared to be intently flipping through the document, but he didn't care at all what was written on it.
The real reason for asking the other party to stay was entirely different.
A few minutes later, Luo Tian saw a +1 symbol suddenly pop up on his experience bar, and then nodded to the middle-aged man:
"Okay, no problem! Remember to submit the documents early next month."
Luo Tian's response delighted the middle-aged man, who nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Watching the middle-aged man walk out of the office with a happy expression, Luo Tian couldn't help but sigh slightly.
It's no longer news that transmigrators have arrived in the Star World. Hundreds of years of accumulation have resulted in a number of transmigrators from other worlds even in remote towns like Mingcheng in the Dayin Empire.
To outsiders, these transmigrators from other worlds mostly possess extraordinary abilities, have exceptional talents and appearances, and are undoubtedly the chosen ones.
In reality, that was only a very small fraction of the transmigrators that were revealed after the information on the internet was filtered.
Most transmigrators are just ordinary people in other worlds. What can they do in the unfamiliar environment of the Star World?
Not to mention that the transmigrators also have to be constantly monitored and scrutinized by the Otherworld Management Committee, and they have to submit filing documents every certain period of time. They have to be careful in everything they do, for fear of crossing any red lines and being found by the committee.
Under such circumstances, among the hundreds of transmigrators from different worlds in Mingcheng, only two or three could truly obtain a certain status and position.
Most of the others, like the middle-aged man before them, blended into the ordinary people of Mingcheng, living a life of caution and discretion.
Even Luo Tian, an inconspicuous clerical staff member of the Otherworld Management Committee, could easily control them.
"So, time travel isn't necessarily a good thing. Without a cheat system by your side, you're just as likely to fail wherever you go."
Luo Tian muttered to himself, then leaned back in his chair and entered his daily lazy moment.
As a staff member of the Otherworld Management Committee, Luo Tian was responsible for the management of files related to transmigrators.
There were only about a hundred transmigrators in the entire Ming City, and all the files combined didn't contain much information, so Luo Tian spent most of his time in a state of leisure.
Luo Tian only showed a little interest when those transmigrators from other worlds came to submit their files.
As long as Luo Tian interacts with these transmigrators from other worlds for a certain period of time, he can gain some experience from them.
Most of the time it's +1, but occasionally there will be critical hit numbers like +2 or +3, which is what Luo Tian meant by "smelling experience".
So far, this is the only way Luo Tian has discovered to gain experience.
Besides, even when Luo Tian secretly went to the outskirts during the holidays and forcibly created an interdimensional passage with his Soul-Sucking Strike, he still couldn't gain even a little bit of experience.
The only gain might be the group of otherworldly demons who were attracted by the interdimensional portal and then crushed to death by Luo Tian's Soul-Sucking Strike.
That vast swarm of densely packed demons successfully caused Luo Tian's Soul-Sucking Strike to jump a significant distance.
Although this meant nothing to Luo Tian, it was still his first encounter with a real demon.
If it weren't for the fact that not even ashes remained, Luo Tianzhen would have liked to catch one and take it home to make a specimen.
This experience of opening the interdimensional portal made Luo Tian somewhat suspicious that the experience he gained from the otherworldly transmigrators might not be as simple as just the aura of another world.
However, figuring out these things was obviously too troublesome for Luo Tian, as he hated trouble the most.
Anyway, I have experience to draw from every day, so even if I add a little, it won't have much of an impact.
Just as Luo Tian was finishing his daily work and relaxing, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the office.
Shortly after, the door to Luo Tian's office opened, and a young man dressed in a black tuxedo and wearing a top hat walked into the office.
Ke Wen's gaze fell on the sleepy-eyed Luo Tian, his brows furrowing slightly as undisguised disdain flashed in his eyes.
In his view, people like Luo Tian, who lack extraordinary abilities and knowledge, are nothing more than livestock kept by the Otherworld Management Committee.
Even if one becomes a civil servant in the empire, one cannot change the baseness ingrained in one's bones.
The disdain on his face slightly faded, and Ke Wen, dressed in a formal suit and looking every bit the upper-class man, spoke to Luo Tian:
“Mr. Luo, I have come here to invite you and your wife to the banquet tomorrow. I hope you can attend.”
There was no hint of politeness in Cohen's words; they were nothing more than the handouts bestowed by a high-ranking nobleman upon a lowly commoner.
Behind Ke Wen, a servant dressed in brown took out an exquisitely crafted invitation and placed it on Luo Tian's desk.
After speaking, Ke Wen didn't wait for Luo Tian's reply before turning around and leaving the office, as if he didn't want to stay a moment longer.
After Ke Wen left, the rest of the Otherworld Management Committee rushed into Luo Tian's office, completely surrounding the already small space.
"I didn't expect you to have gotten on Sir Kevin's good side so quickly."
“Those are true hereditary nobles. Even though they are only the lowest rank of lord, they are still very important figures in the entire Ming City.”
"I heard that invitations can include a maximum of three people. Luo Tian, do you have any other suitable candidates?"
......
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Luo Tian, who was yawning, seemed not to have realized what had happened.
After sorting through his memories, Luo Tiancai remembered that the young man in the top hat was the Sir Kevin they had been talking about.
Although he was only a nobleman, as one of the few remaining hereditary nobles, he was considered a figure in the upper class of the entire Dayin Empire, and in the remote city of Ming, he was a powerful figure like a local emperor.
Sir Kevin invited Luo Tian to the banquet, not because he admired Luo Tian. Many people around him looked at Luo Tian with a mixture of jealousy and schadenfreude.
Luo Tian merely glanced at the exquisite invitation, casually tossed it into the trash can next to his desk, and then, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, casually said:
"I've used up all my vacation days this month, so I won't be going."
Chapter Eight: Send him in!
"You...you're not kidding, are you?"
Among the members of the Otherworld Management Committee present, a young staff member named Xie Yu swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask Luo Tian a question.
To anyone present, this resignation sounded like an utterly fake and perfunctory response.
Keep in mind that it was a banquet hosted by Sir Kevin, which brought together the social elites of the entire city's upper class.
If one can get into the banquet and meet one or two high-ranking figures, there is a good chance of leaving the Otherworld Management Committee, this insignificant department.
This was an opportunity that many imperial civil servants present dreamed of, but Luo Tian threw it into the trash can like garbage, leaving many people with mixed feelings.
Luo Tian looked at Xie Yu strangely, and asked with some doubt:
"What's so funny about this? It's just a banquet. If you want to go, you can just take the invitation and go directly."
I didn't take any leave; if I went, I'd lose my perfect attendance bonus for this month.
What Luo Tian said was indeed true. As an imperial civil servant whose goal was to gain experience by slacking off, Luo Tian usually took all his leave at the beginning of the month.
Attending this so-called aristocratic banquet would break his perfect attendance record, which Luo Tian felt was not worth it at all.
The perfect attendance bonus is a whopping 200 Star Coins, enough to buy Knight premium cat food for three months.
For Luo Tian, this was definitely not a small sum of money.
Upon hearing Luo Tian's explanation, Xie Yu looked at Luo Tian as if he were an idiot.
He never imagined that someone would actually give up such a great opportunity for a small attendance bonus.
Xie Yu glanced greedily at the invitation in the trash can, but ultimately didn't reach out to pick it up.
Sir Cowen's goal was clear to everyone: this young nobleman had his eye on Luo Tian's beautiful wife, and his invitation to Luo Tian under the guise of a banquet was a ploy to get Luo Tian to offer up his wife.
Now that Luo Tian isn't going, they don't have the guts to accept the invitation.
As the crowd gradually dispersed from the office, some whispered that Luo Tian was a fool who would pass up an opportunity, while others praised Luo Tian for his true devotion, willing to offend a hereditary nobleman for his wife.
Many more were people who had previously tried to curry favor with Luo Tian but failed, and now they were gloating over his misfortune.
"Does he really think everything will be fine if he doesn't go?"
"Sir Cohen extended the banquet invitation merely to save face, giving Luo Tian an opportunity to offer his wife and maintain the demeanor of a hereditary nobleman."
Now that Luo Tian is ungrateful and refuses, Sir Kevin sees no need to maintain any aristocratic decorum. What difference would it make if he simply took Luo Tian's wife?
"Ordinary people who cannot become extraordinary are ultimately far from being comparable to nobles."
......
The murmurs gradually faded away, but Luo Tian's expression remained unchanged in the office, as if he wasn't the main character those people were talking about.
Luo Tian leaned back in his chair, flipping through recent newspapers while sipping tea that had already been brewed.
Time quickly passed and it was time to leave work in the afternoon. Not a single transmigrator from another world came to submit their files for review all afternoon. This had become the norm for Luo Tian to slack off at work.
After marking the parts he had read, Luo Tian stuffed the newspaper into his desk drawer and turned to leave the office.
The moment Luo Tian appeared in the office lobby, the previously noisy atmosphere immediately fell silent.
All eyes were on Luo Tian, a mixture of schadenfreude, disdain, and secret sympathy.
As they walked through the corridor, the imperial civil servants avoided Luo Tian as if he were a plague, fearing any contact with him.
The news that Luo Tian had thrown the invitation into the trash can reached Sir Kevin's ears in just one afternoon. It was said that the sir flew into a rage, smashed a precious antique vase, and threatened that Luo Tian would kneel down and offer up his wife at the banquet.
Now that everyone knows Luo Tian is in grave danger, naturally no one wants to associate with him.
Without the usual insincere greetings, Luo Tian was happy to have some peace and quiet. He left the office building on his own and went to the pet management office.
The dwarf Durr from the Pet Management Office had already received news that Luo Tian had angered Sir Cowen. At this moment, he looked at Luo Tian slowly walking over, his face showing undisguised contempt.
"As expected of a transmigrator from a remote place, the barbarity and vulgarity in his bones ultimately angered the big shot."
It is a blessing for you and your spouse that the hereditary nobles of the Great Yin Empire have taken a liking to your wife!
"You actually want to refuse Sir Cohen? Don't you even know your place?"
