8: Huge changes in physique

It was already four in the afternoon after lunch, and Chen Xiangbei started walking towards another part-time hotpot restaurant.

It wasn't very far, so he decided to take the Route 11 bus.

Soon, he arrived at his destination—Qianda Plaza, a well-known shopping mall.

Although the number of stores nationwide has been decreasing in recent years, its scale is still enormous.

Arriving at the hotpot restaurant, there were already over a dozen chairs set up at the entrance, most of which were for the shills.

A small portion was for customers, because the shills, after getting their meal numbers, would never be called.

They could only sit at the restaurant entrance, constantly playing on their phones and drinking iced lemonade.

If their phone ran out of battery, there were power banks for rent at the entrance, and if they needed to use the restroom, they could go to the public restrooms in the mall.

In any case, they just needed you to sit for two hours, whether you played on your phone or played games, it was up to you.

Chen Xiangbei's phone was a Huawei model from a few years ago, and the battery wasn't very durable; it had been used quite a bit at the milk tea shop at noon.

He rented a power bank at the entrance, then sat down and played with great relish.

He looked at his bank card balance, feeling very satisfied; these were numbers that only appeared in his card when paying tuition fees before.

Now, it was a regular occurrence; this was truly his own.

The arrival of the system gave him immense confidence, and his mindset was constantly changing.

He was no longer as timid and cautious as before, starting to become poised and generous.

He idly browsed various part-time job groups to plan for tomorrow, as the system would most likely upgrade tomorrow.

If he had enough capital, he would start looking for new business opportunities; there were still many things about the system that he hadn't discovered yet.

For example, the "Hidden Achievement System" had not been triggered yet, and he wasn't quite sure about the specific trigger rules.

"Ding, please Host work hard. All activities of this system are real and effective, and will never deceive the Host."

"Uh... Tong Zi Ge, I didn't say you were fake. I just wasn't very clear about the specific rules, that's all. I didn't doubt your authenticity."

"Ding, in view of the Host's dedication to this system, the hidden achievement (Devotion) has been triggered. The Host is specially rewarded with 1 free attribute point. Please Host continue to work hard!"

"!?" It triggered just like that? Exciting ~ The system's hidden functions are really powerful, Chen Xiangbei thought to himself.

"By the way, Tong Zi Ge, is this free attribute point the free attribute point I understand?"

"Ding, that's right, it's the free attribute point you understand. The Host can do whatever he wants."

"That's great! Tong Zi Ge is amazing!"

Subsequently, Chen Xiangbei put all the free attribute points into his physique, after all, a healthy body is the capital for revolution.

A strong tingling sensation instantly swept over him. Chen Xiangbei tried hard to control his body, trying to maintain a sitting posture to avoid showing any abnormalities.

1 point of physique is equivalent to the standard of a healthy normal adult.

Adding his original 0.85, his current physique score is 1.85, which is quite close to the standard of two adults.

Physique encompasses strength, stamina, body toughness, and body flexibility.

This allocation of points greatly improved Chen Xiangbei's body; all kinds of hidden minor illnesses, minor symptoms, and difficult diseases had now completely disappeared.

Even his posture became more upright; the slight hunchback and forward neck posture he had from looking at his phone before had now disappeared.

Chen Xiangbei eagerly went to the public restroom. Looking in the mirror, what greeted his eyes was a pair of deep eyes and a high nose bridge.

His entire face looked more three-dimensional, with clear contours, and he appeared handsome, dashing, and full of masculine charm.

Even the few pimples he had developed due to anxiety from not finding a job had disappeared.

His entire skin also became somewhat whiter, a healthy white.

Looking at his height, he could definitely confirm he was over 1.8 meters. He would find a place to measure it later, Chen Xiangbei thought to himself.

The changes in his body, both internal and external, made Chen Xiangbei exude an aura of joy.

He felt full of strength; if he were to carry scrap materials now, two and a half bags at a time for half a day, he would definitely not be out of breath.

Chen Xiangbei tried hard to adapt to the changes in his body, eager to try out the benefits brought by the increase in strength.

Perhaps he could do some heavy manual labor?

After trying to calm his excited mood, Chen Xiangbei returned to his seat and continued "working."

The mall was large, and during meal times, there were many people, with extremely high foot traffic nearby.

So, during meal times, it was time for each restaurant to show off its skills.

Most of them hired shills to create an atmosphere, or the waiters shouted energetically.

Generally, more people eat hotpot in the evening, so hotpot restaurants don't lack business; what they lack are people with decision paralysis.

These diners who hesitated between this restaurant and that one became the first choice for restaurants to invite.

Generally, when such diners don't know what to eat, they will choose a popular one.

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's edible, because the taste of restaurants opened in shopping malls won't be too bad.

Soon, the entrance of the hotpot restaurant where Chen Xiangbei was located was packed with people.

Diners arrived one after another, filling tables one by one.

At 7 o'clock, the peak of the crowd was reached, and at this point, there was no need for shills to enhance the atmosphere.

So, this job ended right here.

Each of these shills received a payment of 70 yuan and then left happily.

There were still two hours until the time for his last part-time job of the day.

Chen Xiangbei wandered around the mall for over an hour, and only left for the disco when it was almost time.

When he arrived at the disco, he found that apart from the staff, there were very few people inside.

Bars generally open in the evening, while discos open around 9 PM.

Chen Xiangbei checked in as usual, waiting for the staff's arrangements, as more people were needed.

Some people would be arranged inside the disco to warm up the atmosphere, while others would be arranged outside to queue and create a buzz.

After a while, the staff began to assign tasks.

Everyone would receive a wristband: fluorescent for those inside, and yellow for those outside.

This was also to make it easier for the disco staff to distinguish between customers and shills, so as not to waste time and energy.

The disco staff's job was to promote consumption; they would actively go and drink with the various sugar daddies.

They would even drink the sugar daddy's own alcohol, which would make the alcohol consumption faster, and people who came to relax and have fun generally wouldn't mind these things.

After the staff saw the shill's wristband, they would not approach these people to drink.

Chen Xiangbei was lucky enough to be assigned to warm up the atmosphere inside.

The requirement for warming up the atmosphere was to dance along with the DJ's music.

The requirement for the outside was to constantly monitor the number of people in the queue; when there were many people in the queue, they had to actively walk out and join the back of the line.

Chen Xiangbei and his group of 50 inside warm-up personnel were assigned to various bars under the manager's arrangement, usually four or five people per small bar.

At 9:30, the DJ started to intensify the music, and the atmosphere among the scattered customers and shills slowly began to pick up.

Chen Xiangbei and his group began to get hyped up.

More and more people gathered on the dance floor, swaying freely to the rhythm of the music, full of vitality everywhere, immersed in a pleasant atmosphere.

Some people were shouting, some were moving with the DJ on the dance floor, everyone was enjoying this wonderful moment to the fullest.
