Chapter 154: Going to the Factory?
Chapter 154: Going to the Factory?
The doubts that filled everyone's minds earlier were now replaced by awe.
Some even suspected that this might not be the limit of Jiang Cheng's abilities.
Jiang Cheng's expression was too calm, making it seem like he had just accomplished something insignificant.
"Everyone, stop arguing!"
Feng Lai shouted.
"I bought the course first, so if you want to learn, line up behind me!"
After saying this, he looked at Jiang Cheng with a friendly expression, "Master, shall we have a chat?"
"You don't need to call me Master, just call me Cang Hai."
Jiang Cheng remained indifferent to this as well.
After all, this was the reality.
With strength, others would naturally follow.
"Damn!"
Seeing Feng Lai's attitude, everyone silently raised their middle fingers in their minds.
You weren't acting like this before.
However, the smart ones had already taken out their phones and placed their orders.
Unknowingly, an hour passed.
Feng Lai took a deep breath, feeling that he had gained a lot from this experience.
"Little Brother Cang Hai, your course is 2,000 an hour, right? I want to buy another hour."
He continued, unable to contain his excitement, "After your guidance, many things that were unclear and confusing to me before are now crystal clear."
"Actually, I've already said everything I needed to say."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"The rest is up to you to practice and gradually digest, so it becomes your own understanding."
He was still too kind.
In one hour, he had shared all his insights and experiences.
Another hour would be repeating what he had already said, and moreover, the person was a Fourth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior; he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Feng Lai laughed, "Not bad, little brother. Your marksmanship is so good, do you want to come with us on a hunting trip in the wilderness?"
"You guys?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face showed curiosity.
"Yeah, we have a small team of three or four people, and we plan to go into the wild in a couple of days to hunt Beasts. If we're lucky enough to kill one, each of us could get several tens of thousands. With your precise marksmanship, you'll definitely be able to take them down as long as Beasts appear. So, how about it? Want to join us?"
"This..."
Jiang Cheng forced a bitter smile.
"I'd love to go with you, but my strength is too weak, I'm only at the first rank."
"That's right."
Feng Lai slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering that he had bought this course because he couldn't stand the high fees charged by a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
"What a pity."
He showed a hint of regret.
"First Rank strength is indeed too weak. You should at least be at the third rank, preferably the fourth, or even the fifth, after all, it's very dangerous out there, and one misstep could cost your life. But, don't underestimate yourself."
He then offered comfort, "For a newcomer like you to have First Rank strength is already quite good. Many newcomers stay ordinary for several years, and your marksmanship is so accurate. As long as you improve your strength, you'll definitely be a sought-after team member."
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
"Hehe, alright, let's stop here. Good luck!"
Feng Lai waved at Jiang Cheng and then focused on practicing his marksmanship.
He felt that he would make significant progress after this learning experience.
As Jiang Cheng took a few steps forward, many people surrounded him.
"Little brother, I placed my order an hour ago, can you give me some guidance?"
"Yeah, I placed an order too, little brother."
"I did too!"
"Sorry, sorry."
Jiang Cheng took out his phone and saw a string of messages on the screen.
After a quick count, there were at least twenty people who had placed orders, including two for two hours each.
If he charged a minimum of one hour per person, that would be twenty hours, earning him 40,000!
Of course, compared to the 1.5 million needed to raise his Visualization Technique to a proficient level, this was less than one-thirtieth of the required amount.
However, if he used the money to buy secret medicines and secret techniques, it would be much faster.
After all, the most expensive Human Martial Arts technique only cost 100,000.
In most cases, Human Martial Arts could be practiced together, and although the already opened acupoints wouldn't open again, they could be strengthened, increasing the absorption of Primordial Energy and enhancing one's physique.
Moreover, his current strength wasn't exceptional, so he couldn't go after gangs for money or venture out for hunting. This source of income was still quite considerable.
The only downside was that it consumed too much time.
One person required an hour of his time.
With twenty people placing orders, he would need to dedicate at least twenty hours.
Naturally, the speed of opening acupoints would slow down.
"If it slows down, then so be it. Let's seize the opportunity to make some money now, because after this, there might not be another chance."
Jiang Cheng quickly made a decision and proceeded to provide guidance to the customers in the order they had placed their orders.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng's reputation spread far and wide. Although people didn't know him personally, most were aware that a newcomer had arrived at the headquarters, and he was an exceptional marksman.
By six in the evening, Jiang Cheng was truly exhausted.
It wasn't that his physical energy was depleted, but his mouth was dry from all the talking.
In the end, this was a hard-earned income, and he couldn't compare himself to those who taught secret arts and charged tens of thousands for an hour of their time.
Jiang Cheng did have such thoughts.
But that would have to wait until he had achieved mastery or even perfection in Shattered Jade Fist, and it also depended on whether others practiced this secret art.
After bidding farewell to the crowd, Jiang Cheng left the headquarters and arrived home just in time for dinner.
Four people were gathered around the table, and the dishes were quite plentiful, at least including meat. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Jiang Cheng savored this rare moment of warmth.
He planned to return to refining Primordial Energy after dinner.
He had to spend at least ten hours a day on this, or else it would be a waste of Primordial Energy!
"Xiao Cheng."
Just then, Mrs. Chen's expression turned hesitant, "Sister-in-law has something to discuss with you."
"What is it? Just say it."
Jiang Cheng smiled.
"It's like this," Mrs. Chen looked at Lin Yue and continued, "I've asked around, and there's a clothing factory nearby that's hiring. The wages are quite good."
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this.
In his time, working in a factory was a harsh experience. People were treated like emotionless machines, and their bodies and minds were constantly worn down.
It was likely to be even worse here.
He put down his chopsticks and asked, "How good are the wages?"
"Five thousand a month."
Mrs. Chen smiled, "It's much higher than what we earn in the slums. Together, Xiao Yue and I can earn 10,000 a month!"
Lin Yue nodded repeatedly.
Their eyes were shining with hope.
She, too, felt that they couldn't keep taking advantage of Jiang Cheng.
Having a job was already great, and each of them could earn 5,000 a month. When she and her mother were in the slums, they couldn't earn that much together in a month.
It was no wonder people wanted to move to the outer city.
Countless people from the slums would give anything to get in.
