7: Why are you following me?

Wang Ye and Xiao Ying were both in a bad state of mind.

Neither of them had expected it.

Shen Bei actually squatted in the Labor Market, hands in his sleeves, and started waiting for work!

What the heck...

"Hiss~~~ When we were in school, someone said Shen Bei skipped class to work, and I thought it was just an excuse he made up."

Wang Ye sniffed: "Looking at it this way, it was true after all?"

"At this age..." Xiao Ying was dumbfounded: "He's already out working, enjoying the blessings of society?"

"He's really a Prodigy!" Both of them said in unison.

But Shen Bei didn't waste a single moment.

Letting himself wander idly on the street would be an insult to the System!

Work!

He must work!

Workers, working souls, working Martial Artists can become gods!

Shen Bei also glanced at the stunned Wang Ye and Xiao Ying in the distance, just grinning and no longer paying attention to them.

The Wu Da in this world was very unique.

It was equivalent to universities on Blue Star.

However!

There was a very special System.

That was, every Earth-Grade city had a Wu Da.

Earth-Grade city Wu Da could only be attended for two years.

Within these two years, if academics and Martial Skills were up to standard, students would be promoted to the provincial Capital Wu Da.

Those who failed would be directly eliminated.

The same applied to the provincial Capital Wu Da; after two years, qualified students would be promoted to Capital Wu Da.

Those who failed would still be eliminated.

After being promoted to Capital Wu Da, it was a gathering place for Prodigies from various provinces.

Students would officially graduate after studying there for one year.

Shen Bei couldn't help but admire this System.

It was truly advanced!

It largely prevented students from developing a slacking mentality once they entered university.

...

Shen Bei squatted in the Labor Market for a short while before being called by a boss to unload goods.

The unloading location was in a warehouse.

He had to move drinks from a truck into the warehouse.

This job wasn't too tiring as long as one mastered the technique.

He couldn't rely on his arms to lift.

Instead, he had to carry the drink boxes on his back, using the strength of his waist.

Shen Bei and the other laborers moved up and down like ants relocating their home.

This drink was called "Kewu Kekou."

In reality, it was still a carbonated beverage.

But as long as a product was associated with the character "Wu," its sales would definitely be fine.

After all, in a world that revered Martial Artists, marketing had to be perfectly executed.

Things like "Jianli Wu," "Wuli Cheng," "Martial Master Braised Beef Noodles," "Wudanglao," and so on.

They were extremely popular.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye and Xiao Ying, who were squatting in the distance, twitched at the corners of their mouths.

"I can't do that," Xiao Ying said, stroking his chin that could pop a balloon, and continued, "What kind of punk student does this stuff?"

Wang Ye gave a wry smile: "It's not that we can't do it, but we feel it's humiliating. Any random underground mission a Martial Artist takes, bringing back some Materials, is better than this."

"Yeah," Xiao Ying smiled smugly: "Martial Artists are supreme; this world is truly fair."

Wang Ye looked around: "We should still be vigilant, after all, the mission is to catch that extremely vicious murderer."

Xiao Ying narrowed his eyes: "What Rank Martial Artist is this murderer, exactly?"

"He should be a Second-Rank Martial Artist," Wang Ye's eyes gleamed with wisdom: "The team leader is only the Second-Rank Martial Artist Gu Changfeng, which speaks volumes."

"Mm," Xiao Ying nodded: "If we can assist Gu Changfeng in catching him, the Martial Arts credits will increase significantly."

"Then it depends on which group has good luck," Wang Ye was slightly excited: "At the Wu Da stage, credits can be exchanged for Medicinal Pills, which greatly helps in promotion to the provincial Capital Wu Da."

Xiao Ying stared intently at Shen Bei, who was still working in the distance, his gaze sharp.

But he then sighed in resignation, picking his nose: "With Shen Bei in this state, we have no chance."

Wang Ye shrugged.

Students from other groups were all running around the county town.

Only Shen Bei was wholeheartedly moving bricks; his professional dedication was truly commendable.

An hour later.

Shen Bei, having finished unloading, received his wages of 150 yuan.

Work done!

At this moment, Wang Ye patted the drowsy Xiao Ying: "Wake up, Shen Bei is done working, he's definitely going to the pedestrian street now!"

Xiao Ying grunted, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and quickly became alert.

He hurriedly followed Shen Bei's footsteps.

But what shocked the two of them was...

Shen Bei returned to the Labor Market again and took another job.

This time it was high-altitude window cleaning...

"Holy crap!"

Xiao Ying stood below the tall building, looking up at Shen Bei working at high altitude in a suspended cradle.

He finally couldn't help but blurt out: "Damn it! This guy really dares to earn any money!"

Wang Ye stared at Shen Bei swaying on the building without blinking, frowned and pondered for a long time, then said: "There are some people you truly admire, like this guy Shen Bei; I'd never believe he'd starve to death."

...

Two hours later, Shen Bei returned to the ground as the window cleaning job finished.

This job was rare, and few dared to do it, so Shen Bei received 800 yuan in labor wages.

At this point, Wang Ye and Xiao Ying couldn't help but give Shen Bei a thumbs up.

He's really damn capable!

Brother, are you trying to earn all the money in the world?

That's all for becoming a Martial Artist...

Ordinary people... no matter how hard they work, it's just that.

But Shen Bei, this student, was still highly affirmed in their eyes.

He wasn't playing around; he was working.

They both thought Shen Bei was done for the day.

But what made their jaws drop was that.

Shen Bei returned to the Labor Market again, continuing to wait for work.

Wang Ye couldn't hold back this time: "Is the Labor Market his home? How long is he going to keep this up?"

"You say..." Xiao Ying pondered, then continued: "Is there such a thing in this world as... a disease where you feel uncomfortable if you don't work? A disease where you'll spit blood and die if you don't work?"

Wang Ye looked at Xiao Ying in surprise, his mouth twitching: "Your imagination is too wild."

...

As sunset approached.

Shen Bei completed another brick-moving job, receiving 100 yuan in compensation.

Mainly, there weren't many bricks, and the floors weren't high, so the unit price was a bit low.

However, Shen Bei didn't care; working was just the surface, the true meaning was daily settlement!

But Shen Bei still didn't stop his working pace; he hopped on his small electric scooter, donned his yellow robe, and started delivering takeout!

This time, Wang Ye and Xiao Ying couldn't keep up at all.

"I'm going to collapse! Tomorrow I'm going to follow a different student!" Xiao Ying covered his face in agony.

Wang Ye sniffed, watching Shen Bei tirelessly delivering takeout, and said: "If Shen Bei were to become a Martial Artist, with this perseverance, how terrifying would that be? He could probably even achieve Physical Body becoming a god, right?"

...

However, Shen Bei was out of luck today.

He had just snatched an order when his electric scooter ran out of battery...

Shen Bei was filled with indignation: "The batteries in this world are really bad; they won't charge for love."

Never mind.

He had already earned quite a bit today from high-altitude window cleaning.

Work done!

Shen Bei looked at the last takeout order in his hand.

Coincidentally, it was the meal ordered by the man upstairs.

"As long as he's not a rainbow man, anyone will do."

Shen Bei pushed his electric scooter home and delivered the takeout in time.

He even chatted with the man upstairs for a while before returning home.

...

The next day.

Shen Bei got up early.

The daily settlement panel popped up.

【Yesterday's settlement rewards are as follows:】

【Completed beverage transportation work: Gained Money +150, Strength +1, Physique +1.】

【Completed high-altitude window cleaning work: Gained Money +800, Agility +1, Stability +10.】

【Completed brick-moving work: Gained Money +100, Strength +1, Physique +1.】

【Completed takeout delivery: Gained Money +4, Driving Skill +1, Gained someone's attention +50 (Full).】

Shen Bei quickly scanned the information.

He suddenly froze.

"Wait a minute—"

"I only delivered one takeout order yesterday, why would the man upstairs pay attention to me?"

Shen Bei's pupils slightly widened, and a wild guess suddenly popped into his head:

"Is it because I'm 18 years old?"
