The First Paid Sparring Job

After leaving the stadium.

Lin Zichen took Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin back to the dormitory, cooked dinner, and chatted while eating.

"Zichen, how are you so strong? So strong that even the sophomore Discipline Inspector is no match for you."

"Hanhan, you too. You used to be just as gentle and weak as me, but now you're so strong that it feels like a stranger to me."

"I checked my WeChat Moments, He Yu seems to be doing pretty well now. It feels like I'm the only one in our group who's stuck in the same place. It's frustrating."

Li Chuxin felt very uncomfortable.

In high school, she hadn't yet realized the difference between everyone.

Now that I'm in university, I've unconsciously come to feel like we're from two different worlds.

This feeling made her somewhat depressed.

Lin Zichen comforted him, "Think about it from another perspective: you'll have three powerful backers to rely on in the future, which might make you feel much better."

"To be honest, it's true."

Li Chuxin smiled and nodded.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zichen felt much better, and even a little secretly pleased.

Lin Zichen took a sip of soup and said, "Chu Xin, if you ever see anyone being bullied by upperclassmen, you can recommend me to them. You can pay my Credit to hire me as a henchman."

"No problem, I've got your back!"

Li Chuxin readily agreed, smiling as she said, "From now on, I'll be Boss Lin's top salesperson, helping him expand and strengthen his business, so that Hanhan can become the boss's wife!"

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll arrange all the commissions for you from now on."

Li Chuxin waved her hand. "Oh, Achievement, it's too formal."

After dinner, we cleaned the table together and chatted for a while.

Not long after, Li Chuxin returned to her dormitory.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan played on their phones for a while, and when they realized it was almost time, they went to the bathroom together to take a relaxing bath.

"By the way, Hanhan, talk to your master and ask her to adjust the number of challenge opportunities."

"Remove the limit on the number of attempts, or increase it slightly."

"Otherwise, only one challenge per week is too few, and the boosting service won't be able to operate."

In the bathtub, Lin Zichen skillfully scrubbed Shen Qinghan's back while saying this to her.

Shen Qinghan frowned her beautiful eyebrows. "This is amending the school rules, is that even possible?"

"Your master has so much power, he can handle it."

"No, what I mean is, Master won't change the school rules just because of a single sentence I say..."

"Why not?"

Lin Zichen scoffed, "You're a peerless genius, a genius unlike any other before. You're making such a small request; do you think your master wouldn't grant it?"

"Besides, doesn't the school promote the Survival of the Fittest or Natural Selection?"

"Removing the limit on the number of challenges will make students more competitive, which aligns with the school's philosophy."

Trust me, your master will listen to you.

Lin Zichen's hands had moved from Shen Qinghan's back to other parts of her body, and he said as he massaged her.

Shen Qinghan curled her toes in comfort, her voice filled with enjoyment as she said, "Then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, she picked up the phone in front of her and, as Lin Zichen had instructed, sent a message to Yuan Dongzhi on WeChat.

Less than five minutes later, Yuan Dongzhi replied.

I agree to remove the limit on the number of challenges.

They actually agreed?

Shen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Then, an indescribable joy arose.

Marvelous!

Is this what it feels like to have privileges?

After eighteen years of being human, I can finally experience the same genius treatment Xiao Chen receives every day!

After being excited for a while...

Shen Qinghan composed herself and said to Lin Zichen behind her, "Xiao Chen, Master has agreed to your suggestion and said she will remove the limit on the number of challenges."

Hearing the good news, Lin Zichen smiled and hugged her from behind, saying gently, "Thanks to you for this. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Shen Qinghan thought for a moment, hesitated, and then said in a soft voice, "I've always been the one doing all the work for you, I want to experience what it feels like to be the one being fawned over..."

"Okay, tonight I'll be your lapdog and let you experience the wonderful feeling of being pleased."

"Really?"

Shen Qinghan was overjoyed.

Lin Zichen laughed and said, "Of course it's true, it's just a matter of reciprocity."

At the same time.

Student Union President's Office.

More than a dozen Student Union officers, who held high positions in the school, were sitting around having a meeting inside.

"Lin Zichen is too arrogant and disrespectful!"

"How dare you spout such nonsense in front of so many people, saying you even dare to hit the chairman!"

"This is a direct challenge to the authority of our Student Union; he must be dealt with seriously!"

A young man with a middle-part hairstyle spoke angrily to the crowd.

After hearing this, the others started to chime in, each contributing their own thoughts:

"It has to be said that this year's Newcomer King Year is ridiculously strong. Even Mingyu, whose Biological Rank is as high as the Ordinary Rank 7, is no match for him."

"He's strong, but too arrogant. He'll get taken care of sooner or later."

"That's normal, he's young. If I were as good as him in my freshman year, I'd be arrogant too. I think we should let him join the Student Union."

"Normal my ass! He's so arrogant he said he'd even hit the president. I think he's got a screw loose!"

"..."

As time went on, more and more people began to express their opinions.

Most expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that Lin Zichen should be dealt with seriously to uphold the authority of the Student Union.

A small number of people admire Lin Zichen and say they want to recruit him into the Student Union.

"President, what's your opinion on Lin Zichen using a substitute player?"

A pretty girl with a ponytail, wearing a women's suit and high heels, looked at Zhou Xuehong, who was sitting in the main seat, and asked.

Zhou Xuehong remained calm and said indifferently, "It's just that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Once he encounters a strong enemy and suffers setbacks, he won't be so arrogant anymore."

As the Student Union President, he didn't take Lin Zichen seriously at all.

In his eyes, Lin Zichen's only advantage was his physical talent, which was much stronger than others; his other talents were quite average.

Take Gene Fusion compatibility as an example; he specifically looked into Lin Zichen's results.

Not high, only a mere 15%.

This Gene Fusion compatibility score is considered top-tier for most people.

However, in Student Union where top scorers are everywhere and second-place scorers are considered worthless, he would only appear insignificant.

In conclusion, his evaluation of Lin Zichen can be summed up in four words: very average.

Generally, this is the situation.

In the early stages, when everyone's Biological Rank was low, Lin Zichen was able to stand out and perform brilliantly thanks to his powerful physical talent.

But once everyone's Biological Rank increases and Gene Fusion becomes more in-depth, Lin Zichen, whose Gene Fusion compatibility is only 15%, will lose all his advantages and become lackluster.

Among this year's freshmen, Zhou Xuehong has the highest hopes for Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei.

Especially Li Moyu.

Zhou Xuehong believes that if this Top Scholar of Capital City is given enough time to grow, it is no exaggeration to say that Mountain University's various school records will most likely be broken by Top Scholar of Capital City in the future.

As for Lin Zichen, it would be quite good if he could rank in the top five.

Moreover, this achievement was only possible because Lin Zichen timely abandoned the Pure-Blood Human Path and switched to the Gene Fusion Path.

If Lin Zichen insists on following the Pure-Blood Human Path, then I'm sorry, he'll only be considered successful if he can rank in the top ten of this generation.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Lin Zichen woke up early, helped Shen Qinghan cover herself with the blankets, then got out of bed and left the room to do his morning exercise on the balcony.

The training focuses on body tempering.

The Tertiary Body Tempering is much more difficult than the second.

The main issue is the pain sensation.

The tempering process can cause people to grimace in pain.

The good news is that the tempering efficiency seems okay, just a little slower than the Secondary Body Tempering.

Two hours later.

After finishing his tempering, Lin Zichen went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Shen Qinghan.

After Shen Qinghan finished breakfast and went to class, he returned to the balcony to continue his training.

The tempering process lasted until approximately 10 AM.

Put away your yoga mat.

I took a refreshing cold shower in the bathroom.

Then, he lay on the sofa, took out his phone, opened the Credit shop, and started looking for the next type of Exotic Beast Meat to devour.

I browsed the online store for almost half an hour.

Ultimately, Lin Zichen's attention was drawn to the Exotic Beast Meat called "Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat".

Nine-Turn Soul Worm?

What kind of Exotic Beast is this?

Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised to see Exotic Beast he didn't recognize, which was a rare occurrence for him.

I opened the product details page and quickly scanned the contents.

Later, they learned that the Nine-Turn Soul Worm was a recently discovered Exotic Beast.

Its defining characteristic is its exceptional Mental Power.

It can manipulate objects that are 10 times or even 100 times its own weight remotely.

Is his Mental Power extremely strong?

After opening the book, you will most likely obtain a Biological Attribute that can enhance your Mental Power.

After years of improving my Qi and blood, it's time to improve my Mental Power as well.

The next Exotic Beast Meat to devour is you.

The price is just ridiculously high.

You get 50 Credit per kilogram.

Well, after all, it's a newly discovered Exotic Beast, with limited production, so its rarity makes it valuable.

Once production increases, the price should come down considerably...

After thinking it over for a while...

Lin Zichen spent 50 Credit to order a pound of Nine-Turn Soul Worm meat, thinking he should start the progress bar of the picture book first.

It was almost 3 p. m.

The package has arrived.

Lin Zichen unpacked the package and glanced at the so-called Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat.

It looks like cordyceps.

It's black in color, which gives it a poisonous feel.

Without thinking too much, I directly touched and devoured it.

[You have devoured a wisp of the Life Origin of the "Nine-Turn Soul Worm"]

[Nine-Turn Soul Worm Illustration: 1%]

Lin Zichen glanced at the two notification messages in the Void but didn't pay much attention to them.

He quickly put it away and continued to train his body on the balcony.

When the time came to 4:30 pm.

The phone on the yoga mat suddenly vibrated.

Upon opening it, I found a notification from the Academic Affairs Office on the school's app.

The message reads: Starting today, Shanhai University will remove the limit on the number of challenges, and everyone will have an unlimited number of challenges.

"They moved really fast."

Lin Zichen smiled and mentally gave Yuan Dongzhi a thumbs up.

It has to be said that Shen Qinghan really made the right choice in choosing a master.

If you ask her to do something, she really will.

Moreover, it's the kind of thing that's decisive and straightforward.

Sunday, two days later.

11:00 AM.

Li Chuxin is here to freeload again.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as freeloading.

Because she brought a lot of groceries, and she even went into the kitchen with Shen Qinghan.

Meanwhile, Lin Zichen, a stay-at-home dad, was playing on his phone in the living room like a king.

Nearly an hour later.

Four dishes and a soup were served.

The three of them sat down to eat.

While they were eating, Li Chuxin brought Lin Zichen some good news, saying with a smile:

"Zichen, I've successfully found you a client who needs your help with typing."

"The client is a rich second-generation girl in my class; her family is extremely wealthy."

"Because I wore different new clothes and changed my bags every day, a senior in college became jealous of me and targeted me every day."

"I've already found out all the information about that senior student for you."

"Its strength is not high; its Biological Rank is only Ordinary Tier 4."

"However, she has an older brother who works in the Student Union. His Biological Rank is Ordinary Rank 7 same as that of Jin Mingyu, which is the same as his."

After speaking, Li Chuxin asked, "How many Credit do you need to accept this request?"

Lin Zichen didn't rush to answer.

He needs to think.

Consider all aspects and see how many Credit your work is worth.

A tip is necessary for your hard work.

Compensation for damaged interpersonal relationships is also necessary.

After all, making hand gestures will inevitably offend many people, so charging a fee for damaging relationships isn't unreasonable.

After thinking about it, it seems that only these two aspects require payment.

So, Lin Zichen said to Li Chuxin:

"After careful consideration, I've determined that this commission will cost 11 Credit."

"Okay, I'll pass on the message for you now."

Li Chuxin opened WeChat and contacted the girl in her class.

Within two minutes, the girl replied, indicating that she could accept the fee.

Then, Lin Zichen's phone, which he had placed on the table, vibrated.

Upon checking my phone, I saw a notification on the school app that I had received a transfer of Credit from the girl.

No more, no less, exactly 11 Credit.

"That spins really fast."

Lin Zichen smiled and said.

The school app of Shanhai University is very efficient.

Whether it's a challenge or a money transfer, you can easily complete the desired operation by simply searching for the name and verifying the information.

Soon, Lin Zichen transferred 1 Credit to Li Chuxin via his phone and looked at her, saying:

"Chu Xin, I'm transferring 1 Credit to you as a reward for helping me find a client."

"Ah?"

Li Chuxin paused for a moment, then said, "That's not a good idea. It seems too formal. It's just a small favor."

Lin Zichen said seriously, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts; I can't let you work for nothing."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony."

Li Chuxin didn't hesitate and generously accepted the 1 Credit she deserved.

After that, she began to do her best to help Lin Zichen and his client negotiate a time.

After a minute or two of discussion.

We finally decided that I would go to that senior's classroom and wait at the door after class tomorrow morning to complete this request.

After doing all this, Li Chuxin looked at Lin Zichen and asked:

"Zichen, what a coincidence! You just said you wanted to be a substitute player at the gym the other day, and the school removed the limit on the number of challenges the next day. Is there some kind of deal going on?"

"There were no transactions."

Lin Zichen casually lied. "I just knew in advance that the school rules would be changed, so that's why I said I wanted to be a substitute that day."

Li Chuxin said enviously, "Geniuses are just different; they can even find out about changes to school rules in advance."

After saying that, she continued, "By the way, at 4 PM, there are people trying to reach the Peak Ranking at the gymnasium. It's a fight between two ordinary Tier 9 senior students. Do you want to go watch?"

Since the challenge attempts were cancelled three days ago.

Right now, there are people at the stadium every day trying to climb the Peak Ranking.

There are people competing every day, from morning till night.

It was very lively.

Lin Zichen shook his head. "I'm not really interested in this, so I won't go."

Seeing that he wasn't interested, Li Chuxin looked at Shen Qinghan and asked:

"Hanhan, what about you?"

As she said this, there was a hint of pleading in her eyes; she really wanted Shen Qinghan to go with her.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan obliged, saying, "I really want to go see it."

Li Chuxin smiled and said, "Then let's go over and join in the fun at 4 pm."

Soon.

The next day arrived.

Monday morning.

Under Li Chuxin's arrangement, Lin Zichen met with his client at a milk tea shop.

The client is an ordinary-looking girl.

But they are very rich.

She was decked out in designer brands from head to toe.

"Ah!"

"Brother Chen, it really is Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen, I'm your fan!"

Upon seeing Lin Zichen, the client became so excited that he became somewhat incoherent, excitedly saying that he was a fan of his.

After that, we took a group photo and got autographs.

To the uninformed, it would look like some kind of celebrity fan meeting.

"Sorry, I'm only responsible for being a thug; I don't provide any other services."

Lin Zichen refused outright.

He didn't want to get involved in the fandom; he just wanted to be a heartless enforcer.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't even add the client on WeChat, relying entirely on Li Chuxin to help make the connection.

After clearly expressing this meaning.

Lin Zichen steered the conversation back to the client's case, asking, "Tell me how you were bullied by that senior. Be truthful, don't embellish."

He determines the severity of his actions based on the extent of the bullying.

Upon hearing his question, the client immediately began to complain about how the senior student had bullied her, a freshman.

Several pieces of clothing were taken away.

Several bags were taken.

In total, the loss amounted to nearly one million.

None of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that she was verbally abused and physically attacked.

The senior student said that someone as ugly as me didn't deserve to wear such beautiful clothes.

"That's outrageous!"

After hearing what the client said, Shen Qinghan clenched her fists, feeling indignant on the other party's behalf.

On the contrary, Lin Zichen remained completely unmoved throughout, simply saying:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I guarantee that after today, she'll never dare to bully you again."

"I'm relieved to hear Brother Chen say that!"

The client, beaming, said, "Once this matter is successfully resolved, I will pay you an extra 11 Credit, Brother Chen, as support for your boosting business."

Pay another 11 Credit?

Lin Zichen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He then stood up and smiled at the client, saying, "I didn't expect our ideas to be so aligned. We definitely need to take a group photo to commemorate this."

P. S.: There's one more chapter, around 3 PM.
