Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: New Professionals

The newcomer was very young.

About the same age as himself, at most in his twenties.

But the profession title above his head was in red: [Whisperer].

Fang Qingyu saw the red title and was about to look away.

Just as the other party also glanced over.

Their eyes met for a full second before the other party nodded slightly and left.

Fang Qingyu stood there in a daze...

Not until the staff reminded him did he leave.

"Such... a strange feeling."

Fang Qingyu slightly furrowed his brows, muttering inside.

The other's eyes seemed ordinary at first glance, black pupils and whites.

But at the moment their eyes met.

Fang Qingyu felt as if he heard thousands of whispering voices...

Buddhist chants, scriptures reciting, market shouting, women's cooing, all-encompassing.

Though it was just a moment.

"This Whisperer..."

"What kind of profession is it?"

This was the second time he had seen the red-lettered title.

The first was Martial Artist.

Previously, he'd heard Qi Hao say that Martial Artist, Lin Jiao, could kick a 200-pound punching post seven or eight meters away...

This was already the human limit Fang Qingyu understood.

But today's Whisperer...

Even if they don't have the great power of a Martial Artist, they're definitely not simple.

And that person was particularly young.

This made Fang Qingyu pay more attention.

Indeed, there are always higher realms, and the sky's the limit.

Cannot be content with his minor achievements.

When he got to the room.

Fang Qingyu also asked a staff member casually.

But she didn't know either.

He could only let it go.

An hour later, the session ended.

Fang Qingyu felt refreshed, though without the explosive increase in physique like with attribute points, alleviating physical fatigue.

Only such places have more authority.

No wonder so many people like to come to the club.

Looked at the time.

Three thirty in the afternoon.

Time to work, time to work.

Fang Qingyu quickly switched to the role of a Deliveryman.

Recent nights have been quite restless, so many choose to do runs during the day.

Orders with high pay and easy-to-deliver communities have to be grabbed.

Fang Qingyu looked at his lagging phone, a bit helpless.

Only managed to grab about thirty orders all afternoon.

Luckily, the progress of the Deliveryman isn't too slow.

[Profession: Deliveryman Lv.1 (70/100)]

[Professional Basic Skill: Electric Car Driving Lv.2 (56/200)]

Combining yesterday's and today's work has brought the progress up to seventy percent.

It's just the Electric Car skill that's a little surprising.

He thought it was like the Fitness Enthusiast skill, with Level 2 being the limit.

But now it continues to rise coolly towards Level 3.

Is it cultivating him to be an electric car god?

But no matter how, having skill upgrades is good; when a profession can no longer be advanced, it means he needs to change professions.

Back home, changed clothes, Fang Qingyu headed to the Tongyuan Martial Arts Hall.

Today is the official start of work.

The Security Guard profession can continue to grind experience.

"Qingzi is here, have you eaten?"

In the martial arts hall backstage, Lv Chen greeted Fang Qingyu warmly, without any pretenses.

"I've eaten, Brother Chen."

When someone greets you with a smile, Fang Qingyu naturally couldn't put on an unfriendly face.

"Alright, today you'll be responsible for Area A1."

"Okay."

Fang Qingyu nodded and walked to the field through the staff passage.

He arrived quite early today.

The audience was still entering gradually.

At 7 o'clock sharp.

The bell on the ceiling inside the field was gently rung.

This time, besides occasionally looking at the battle on stage, Fang Qingyu focused most of his attention on his surroundings.

Combat experience is gained by fighting, not watching.

Even if he stares until flowers bloom, it won't help much in real combat.

Grinding experience is more important.

[Your profession "Security Guard" experience +1]

[Your Professional Basic Skill "Guard" experience +1]

Time quietly passed by.

A total of 17 matches took place throughout the night.

Some people profited greatly after a night.

Some people had to fight for a spot under the bridge at night.

Fang Qingyu found a pattern, most of the disturbances were worst right at the end of battles.

Yesterday was like this too.

But then he wasn't in close contact with the gamblers, didn't understand their crazy mindset.

Luckily, the area Fang Qingyu was responsible for tonight didn't encounter any major issues.

At most, someone stood up to curse madly, affecting others.

As long as you let them curse a bit, vent out their emotions, then get them to sit back down, they usually comply.

The real surprise was in the Security Guard panel.

[Profession: Security Guard Lv.1 (79/100)]

[Professional Basic Skill: Guard Lv.2 (42/200)]

One night and the profession experience skyrocketed by more than ten points.

Equivalent to three nights originally spent in a bar.

And the work hours were even shorter.

It seems the growth of work experience may have something to do with not just the work content but also the location and pay?

There aren't enough case studies at the moment.

Fang Qingyu could only guess and cannot confirm.

More different jobs are needed in the future to draw conclusions.

Done with the handover with Lv Chen after work.

Fang Qingyu rode his electric car back home.

The current savings are only enough for one more trip to the club.

Must quickly grind attribute points.

Otherwise, martial arts progress will stagnate.

The Dragon Banner move isn't really just freehand fitness.

It requires finding an inclined sit-up auxiliary bench.

Fang Qingyu doesn't have one, so he turned a table upside down, with four table corners facing up, then grabbed the corners on either side of the head, bending his elbows to hold steady.

Then he began the leg lift, tightening his core, bringing his legs together, lifting them vertically to the ground, with his hips off the support surface.

Finally, he controlled the lower body to slowly descend until his body formed an inclined line from shoulder to ankle, about 45 degrees to the ground.

Just watching it seems easy.

Only by doing it can one realize how much muscle this move tests.

Fang Qingyu looked at the ceiling, actively sensing the pain brought by his body at this moment.

Soreness... exhaustion...

Every part is protesting.

But ultimately, willpower conquered the physical body.

"Hu..."

Slowly lowering his legs, Fang Qingyu relaxed all his muscles and exhaled slowly.

Every time he conquered pain.

It brings a harvest for the physical body.

[Professional Basic Skill 4: Dragon Banner Lv.1 (51/100)]

And now, only an hour has passed.

Standing up to move the body.

Still can continue.

But next, a different exercise is needed.

The Dragon Banner mainly trains the rectus abdominis, obliques, lower back, and gluteal muscles.

After an hour of high-intensity training.

The muscles in these areas of Fang Qingyu are already extremely sore, and further stimulating them now could be counterproductive.

That's why fitness requires regular changes in focus areas.

Next, are handstand pushups.

Performing push and pull movements in a handstand position.

Hands shoulder-width apart in a handstand, using arm strength to support the suspended body up and down.

This time Fang Qingyu was staring at the ground.

Sweat had already blurred his vision, constantly dripping down.

The muscles in his arms, shoulders, and abdomen were simultaneously protesting.

But the more they protested, the more excited Fang Qingyu became!

This means the muscles are continuously tearing... reorganizing.

"Ring ring ring~"

Until the alarm went off.

Fang Qingyu slowly lowered his body, looking at the profession panel.
