"Tomorrow at 8 a.m. Don't be late!"

Qi Hao flashed his white teeth, gave a thumbs-up, and watched Fang Qingyu board the bus.

"See you tomorrow."

Fang Qingyu waved, then habitually turned his head to look around at the passengers after boarding. He found a seat and leaned against the window to rest.

Only today did he learn.

Titles could actually be red.

He silently muttered.

"Genealogy Chart."

A whispering murmur rang in his ears, drowning out the noisy sounds of the bus.

All things collapsed within the trajectories of fate; only those who could glimpse the patterns could reshape the star chains.

When you dissected the vocational cocoons of all living beings, every possible future became an editable character.

The Job Chart was opening.

Then, a misty iris suddenly covered his vision. Countless pale, glimmering points of light emerged from the void, and the streams of light collapsed three inches from the tip of his nose into a bronze book.

He opened the cover and arrived at the prologue page.

Rows of luminous text leaped onto the paper.

Job Chart

Name: Fang Qingyu

Age: 18

Job: Security Guard, Fitness Enthusiast

Strength: 7.7

Speed: 8.1

Physique: 7.8

Will: 10.7

Skill Points: 0

Attribute Points: 0

This book was actually the cheat ability Fang Qingyu had brought with him when he transmigrated.

It was just that it had not appeared until a few days ago. That was also the fundamental reason for his headaches and extremely poor memory before then.

Its function was simple. To put it in one sentence:

Master a hundred arts, temper one path.

However, he had currently unlocked only two jobs, and the road ahead was still long.

The car traveled for half an hour beneath the evening glow obscured by dark clouds.

Until it entered the night.

The broadcast came on.

"Huai'en Road has arrived. Passengers getting off at this stop, please..."

Fang Qingyu gathered his things and got off.

He walked toward the nearby Night Beguiler Bar.

With only a high school education, it was generally impossible to find a good job.

Fortunately, thanks to his fairly handsome face and his height of 1.8 meters, he had found a relatively stable job as a nightclub security guard.

Although it could be somewhat busy at times, and he occasionally had to work as a server,

a job paying 60 yuan an hour could bring in 420 yuan a day.

That definitely put him among the high-income earners his age.

He entered through the back door, and deafening music instantly filled his ears.

"Qingzi's here!!!"

"You're in charge of the B2 Zone today. Get straight to work; it's busier than usual!!!"

Someone seemed to have been waiting nearby. The moment Fang Qingyu walked in, the person threw an arm around his shoulder and shouted into his ear.

"Got it!!!"

Fang Qingyu answered, accepted the radio handed to him, put it on skillfully, and headed familiarly toward the B2 Zone.

With his hands behind his back, he habitually scanned the crowd dancing wildly beneath the lights.

Unlike before,

Fang Qingyu's motivation was now fully charged every day he worked security.

The reason was naturally the book reduced to a tiny size in the upper-left corner of his vision.

The Genealogy Chart was now open to the prologue page.

Recorded there were Fang Qingyu's only two current Job Panels.

Job: Security Guard Lv.1 (21/100)

Job Basic Skill: Alertness Lv.1 (55/100)

Below that, lines of text continuously appeared and refreshed like a barrage of comments.

Your job basic skill "Alertness" gained +1 experience.

Your job "Security Guard" gained +1 experience.

In one night, his skill experience could increase by ten or so points, while his job experience could increase by four or five.

Time passed little by little.

Before long, it was midnight.

This was when people at nightclubs were at their wildest. The alcohol had just gone to their heads, completely revealing the desires in their hearts.

Fang Qingyu was carrying out his daily task of keeping the crowd at a distance from the DJ.

The hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end, and the Alertness Lv.1 skill icon on his retina began flashing rapidly.

He could faintly hear the sharp sound of a glass shattering through the pounding beat.

He abruptly turned toward the booth in the southeast corner.

Although the crowd blocked his view, he could sense that a conflict was taking place in that direction.

"B2 Zone needs backup."

Fang Qingyu pressed the radio earpiece and growled. The muscles in both his legs instantly tensed.

The crowd on the dance floor parted like the sea before Moses, and the man in the black shirt became a streak of shadow sweeping past the swaying bodies.

After pushing through the crowd, he saw the suited man at Booth Three splashing whiskey at his companion. The amber liquor spread across the black marble table.

"How dare you touch my woman?"

The veins on his neck bulged. Clearly, he was about to lose his temper.

The tattooed man who had been splashed wiped his face and was about to speak.

Fang Qingyu glanced at both men's titles. Seeing that they were ordinary people, he promptly arrived between them with a rubber baton in hand.

"Gentlemen, sorry, but fighting is prohibited in the bar."

As he spoke, he kept an eye on their movements.

Work was work.

There was no need to risk his life.

But both men seemed to ignore Fang Qingyu's existence completely.

The tattooed man stood up with a savage grin, grabbed the liquor bottle beside him, and shoved Fang Qingyu aside with one hand. He was just about to smash it into the suited man.

He clearly believed in keeping things simple: be ruthless and say little.

"Xiao Hua, you've gotten pretty bold lately. You dare cause trouble in my territory?"

The music had stopped at some point.

In the dim light, another group of people approached. They were dressed just like Fang Qingyu, in black shirts and suit pants, with radios clipped to their waists.

"Brother Jiao."

Under the gaze of so many nearby customers, the tattooed man seemed to sober up. The moment he saw the person leading the group, he immediately lowered the bottle.

As for the suited man, he quietly stepped backward, almost blending into the crowd watching the commotion.

"Smack."

However, Fang Qingyu suddenly grabbed his wrist and smiled.

The situation was now perfectly clear.

Brother Jiao, the head of security, was obviously someone neither of these two troublemakers could afford to provoke.

"Don't stop the music. Keep the party going!!"

"All drinks are 10% off tonight!!"

Seeing Fang Qingyu catch the suited man in the distance, Brother Jiao did not hesitate. He turned, grabbed a microphone, raised his head, and shouted loudly.

The DJ immediately pressed a button on the elevated platform.

The music and lights resumed in perfect coordination.

Two minutes later.

The tattooed man and the suited man were taken away by the other security guards.

Brother Jiao, meanwhile, pulled Fang Qingyu to sit in the unoccupied Booth Three.

"Do you know why our bar has been open for eight years and still fills up every night?"

"Safety?"

Recalling the fear on the two men's faces just now, Fang Qingyu thought for a moment. It seemed that was the only answer.

"Exactly."

"Damn right. Safety!"

"You spotted it in time this time and stopped them from fighting, protecting our bar's reputation. Consider this money a bonus. I'm letting you off early tonight."

Brother Jiao took a hard drag from his cigarette, pulled a stack of bills from someone's wallet beside him, and handed it over without even counting it.

"Thanks, Brother Jiao."

Fang Qingyu did not refuse.

Since he had brought up the bar's reputation, as the person responsible for resolving the incident, Fang Qingyu had to accept the reward. That way, the other security guards would be even more dedicated to maintaining order in the bar.

Besides, it really was thanks to Fang Qingyu's timely shout.

Otherwise, the two men would definitely have started fighting.

He handed over the radio.

Fang Qingyu said goodbye to his colleague guarding the back door and left through the bar's rear entrance.

The night breeze brushed gently past him, slightly calming his mood.

It was not fear after the fact.

It was excitement.

After unlocking the Security Guard job,

he had thought the Alertness skill was merely an ordinary person's level of alertness.

He had not expected it to work like this.

It was similar to a passive skill.

Usually, he could not feel anything.

But whenever a conflict occurred nearby, he immediately became alert.

Even in daily life, this was an extremely practical skill.

Besides, he had made an unexpected gain tonight.

Fang Qingyu stood by the roadside. There was no one around the back door, so he took out all the money Brother Jiao had given him and counted it.

2,300 yuan.

He had just paid his tuition today and had barely any money left.

This money had arrived just in time to save him from trouble.

So Fang Qingyu lavishly scanned a Little Yellow Bike and rode it home.

As he felt the night breeze,

he opened the Job Chart.

Your job "Security Guard" gained +11 experience.

Your job basic skill "Alertness" gained +43 experience.

The bicycle suddenly braked.

"It increased that much?"

Fang Qingyu slightly furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.

It seemed there were other ways to increase job experience.

He returned home.

It was now one in the morning.

However, Fang Qingyu was not sleepy at all.

He usually finished work at three in the morning, got home close to four, and still had to shower before going to bed.

Recalling the middle-aged man he had seen at the martial arts gym that day,

Fang Qingyu opened his phone and searched for fitness videos.

He began following along with bodyweight exercises.

To practice martial arts, physical fitness was absolutely an important factor.

He would train for an hour before sleeping.

There was no early or late time to lay a foundation.

Only the present mattered.

The Job Chart automatically turned to the back of the first page.

Your job "Fitness Enthusiast" gained +1 experience.

Your job basic skill "Push-ups" gained +2 experience.

Your job basic skill "Pull-ups" gained +2 experience.

Your job basic skill "Squats" gained +2 experience.
