2: Woman, you don't know anything.

“80! 80! 80!”

Shen Bei was drenched in sweat, swinging a sledgehammer in a new house undergoing renovation, smashing fiercely at the wall.

The bald boss beside him watched, his eyes twitching, and quickly reached out to stop him:

“Little brother, I need to ask. We agreed that this wall would be 120, and with each swing costing 80 yuan, my little heart is pounding.”

Shen Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead: “This is my chant. I won’t do something as dirty as raising the price on the fly.”

The bald boss let out a sigh: “That’s good. You can continue.”

“80! 80! 80!”

…

About an hour later.

Shen Bei completed his work.

The bald boss didn’t heartlessly deduct his wages, nor did he dare to.

In this society, there are three types of people you shouldn't provoke.

One is a reckless young person; if you anger him, he won't hold back.

Another is an honest and simple person; he'll quietly take your life.

The third is a Martial Artist.

The bald boss promptly settled the 120 yuan wage.

“Boss, call me if you have work in the future.”

“You should still be of school age, right?”

“Studying gets in the way.”

“…”

Shen Bei left his contact information and rushed downstairs without stopping, heading back to the Labor Market.

Currently, Shen Bei wasn't working just to earn money.

That perspective was too narrow.

He was working for the panel rewards to be settled tomorrow.

Martial Artist was beckoning him.

If he didn't work hard now, it would be like refusing the food that Heaven offered.

By evening.

Shen Bei received another job.

Lift a set of equipment and place it inside a room.

This equipment was very heavy, and the employer hired four or five porters in total.

The group arrived at Mingwangshan Community.

Shen Bei couldn't help but click his tongue.

This community was a famous villa complex in Changtu County.

People who could live here were either rich or powerful.

Shen Bei and the other porters squatted by the gate and waited for a while.

A truck stopped at the villa entrance.

The employer waved: “Come, come, it’s this equipment. Just lift it inside.”

“Be careful, everyone. This is a four-dimensional detection device; it’s very valuable.”

Shen Bei almost dropped his jaw when he heard that.

He looked at the equipment in the truck with a surprised expression.

It looked very familiar.

First High School also had an identical one.

The other porters also widened their eyes, exclaiming in surprise:

“Four-dimensional detection device? Could it be for testing attributes?”

“It must be. This kind of thing is hard to get. Usually, only schools and official bodies have it.”

“It looks like a used one.”

“Even so, you need connections to get it.”

“The price isn’t cheap either. I heard a used one is also worth over 8 million.”

“The world of the rich, I really don’t understand it.”

“This is also called having power.”

…

The porters chattered for a while.

They all got into the truck and used wooden poles and soft ropes to hoist the large equipment.

Shen Bei carried a wooden pole on his shoulder and shouted a chant with the other porters.

He straightened his back, his spine erect.

Instantly, the weight of the equipment caused Shen Bei’s Qi and blood to rush upwards, and his face turned red.

But Shen Bei gritted his teeth, held on with a burst of strength, and followed the other porters, slowly lifting the equipment off the truck.

Just then.

Someone tapped Shen Bei’s shoulder from behind, and a voice like a nightingale came:

“Oh, Shen Bei, you skipped class to work as a porter?”

Shen Bei was startled; this voice was too familiar.

It was his deskmate, Jian Tong!

How was she here?

Shen Bei was already carrying a thousand-pound burden.

That light tap, coupled with the embarrassment of meeting an acquaintance, directly broke his defense.

With unstable strength, his foot slipped.

His back instantly bent under the weight of the equipment.

With a clang.

A corner of the equipment directly fell and hit the ground.

“You unlucky child, you just got out of school and you’re causing trouble!”

The employer squatted down, his face full of distress, to check the extent of the equipment’s damage.

Jian Tong stuck out her tongue, seemingly realizing she had caused trouble.

Today, Jian Tong was wearing a sky-blue dress.

Her lustrous, smooth long hair was secured by a crystal hairpin, cascading like a waterfall behind her. A few strands occasionally fell gracefully onto her shoulders, giving her a soft and gentle demeanor.

Shen Bei rubbed his shoulder and asked in a low, somewhat surprised voice: “You… he…”

“My dad, Jian Shan.”

“You live here?”

“Is there a problem?”

“No, not anymore…”

Shen Bei didn’t know much about his deskmate, Jian Tong.

After all, Jian Tong was the goddess of First High School; her super-high spiritual attribute meant she would definitely become a Martial Artist.

She was someone to be admired from afar, not to be defiled.

The old Shen Bei knew that they were not from the same world.

He rarely had any interaction with Jian Tong.

Shen Bei had never expected Jian Tong to be a little rich girl.

At this moment, Jian Tong didn’t care about the detection device. She folded her arms, her voice clear and tinged with arrogance: “Why are you skipping class again? Teacher Gu Xinrou is furious and said she’s going to visit your home.”

Shen Bei clicked his tongue: “Then I won’t go home tonight.”

“From what you’re saying, to avoid Teacher Gu Xinrou, you won’t go to school tomorrow either, right?”

“You are truly insightful.”

“Then why don’t you just drop out?”

Shen Bei shook his head in denial: “How can I do that? I still want to get into a Martial Arts University.”

Jian Tong’s beautiful eyes, like autumn waters, showed a subtle expression, with a hint of surprise in her gaze: “You? A Martial Arts University?”

“What, I can’t do it?” Shen Bei straightened his back, looking defiant: “Thirty years east of the river—”

“Alright, alright.” Jian Tong reached out to interrupt: “The west of the river in our Changtu County is a mass grave.”

At this moment, Jian Tong’s father, Jian Shan, after inspecting the equipment, said: “A wire is broken, but it’s not a big problem. Lift it inside.”

Subsequently, Shen Bei and the other porters, with renewed effort, once again lifted the equipment.

They carefully carried it into the villa.

During this time, Jian Tong also wanted to help, but Jian Shan stopped her: “Girls shouldn’t do heavy labor. Don’t cause trouble.”

Jian Tong stomped her foot and snorted.

After the equipment was placed.

Jian Shan settled the wages.

Shen Bei earned 200 yuan for this job.

Good income.

After the other porters left, Shen Bei stayed behind for a while.

He looked enviously at the detection device.

One should know that the detection devices within high schools were not always active.

To get tested, one could only queue up during specific times.

This was very untimely for monitoring whether one’s attribute values met the standards.

Even a student’s emotions or illness could affect the level of attribute values.

Only by constantly undergoing tests could one determine the final values.

This was very beneficial for deciding whether to take medicine and how much to take.

Now that Jian Tong had a device that could be tested at any time, her control over her attributes was much clearer.

At this moment, Jian Tong stood aside, smiling sweetly. She stretched, revealing her subtly graceful curves:

“Later, I’ll have dinner at home, and then you can try to see if your attributes, accumulated for thirty years east of the river, have changed? How about it?”

Shen Bei said: “Forget it, I still have to deliver food later.”

Jian Tong’s eyes widened: “Are you going to earn all the money in Changtu County? It’s endless, isn’t it? Your current identity is a student; your main task is to study.”

Shen Bei brought out his famous saying: “Studying will only hinder me from becoming a Martial Artist.”

Jian Tong’s cheeks puffed out in anger, and she said: “If Teacher Gu heard you say that, she’d tear your mouth apart.”

Shen Bei chuckled: “Woman, you don’t understand anything. I’m leaving.”

As he passed the dining room.

Jian Shan enthusiastically called out: “Shen Bei, you and my daughter are classmates, and even deskmates. Sit down and eat. I have something to talk to you about.”

Shen Bei naturally knew what Jian Shan wanted to say.

Such as matching family backgrounds, or the problem of a pig trying to get a white cabbage.

This was something every father was wary of.

Shen Bei grabbed a chicken leg from the table and ran: “Thank you for your hospitality, Father-in-law. Let’s talk another day.”

Jian Shan: !!!
