He Did All the Work—What Are We Supposed to Do?

Fortunately, he had a Sage Body. His stamina drained more slowly than that of ordinary people, and he was incredibly strong. Though only five years old, he could carry an entire row of bricks at once.

At once, a striking sight appeared on the construction site. A five-year-old child, born with immense strength, carried an entire row of bricks by himself. There were at least two hundred bricks in that row, stacked neatly seven or eight meters high—a complete contrast to his skinny frame!

Many people turned to look!

Yet the child stood as steady as a mountain, the bricks in his hands not swaying in the slightest. He moved like the wind and quickly carried them to their destination.

Then, without resting, he immediately began a second trip.

Three hours later, he had carried every brick that needed moving at the construction site that day all by himself!

"Holy crap, he did the work of ten of us by himself, and he was that fast!"

At the sight, all the laborers were dumbfounded, staring at Yang Ming in disbelief.

They simply could not imagine that a five-year-old child could possess such monstrous strength. It was impossible not to be shocked.

"He can work, sure, but he did our jobs. What are we supposed to do?"

Several laborers who had also been carrying bricks looked at Yang Ming, their expressions darkening.

Construction site work was paid according to workload and days worked. There were another thirteen or fourteen people assigned to move bricks, and Yang Ming had finished their work in one go. It was no different from stealing their livelihoods.

Though they were amazed by Yang Ming's natural strength, with their rice bowls being snatched away, their gazes immediately turned cold.

"Good work! See that? This construction site needs people like him. You'd all better work harder, or I'll fire you!"

Just then, the foreman walked over. He nodded in immense satisfaction and praised Yang Ming a few times.

Then he took out a banknote!

"This is one hundred taels—your pay for today. Come back tomorrow. Kid, I think highly of you!"

The foreman, Kurahashi Rui, handed the banknote to Yang Ming.

"One hundred taels!"

Yang Ming's heart stirred. Construction site wages really were great, and they paid out the same day without dragging things out.

One hundred taels was equivalent to one thousand yuan!

Of course, he could earn that much only because of how efficient and hardworking he had been at moving bricks.

He had done the work of more than ten people by himself. How could the pay not be high?

And that was with him holding back!

"A bowl of noodles costs about ten yuan. Add a few dishes, and one meal is fifty. That's one hundred and fifty a day, enough for about eight days. No, I'll keep working tomorrow!"

Yang Ming put away the banknote and silently calculated before preparing to leave.

Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to treat himself a little. Besides, he no longer planned to live at the orphanage. It was no longer a place where he wanted to stay.

Just as he was about to leave, a man and a woman suddenly walked over.

Yang Ming recognized the woman. She was around twenty-five and was none other than Gong Lizi, the director of the orphanage.

The man was Takemura Akira, the leader of the construction crew. He was responsible for this project and for bringing in clients. Gong Lizi was currently discussing business with him.

Some parts of the orphanage were old and run-down and needed repairs. The areas Yang Ming and Chong Chunyi had damaged also needed repairs, so they needed a construction crew.

That was why she had sought out Takemura Akira!

As Yang Ming was about to leave, he happened to come face-to-face with Gong Lizi.

Gong Lizi looked stunned as she stared at the filthy Yang Ming, seemingly not expecting to see him here.

But she immediately acted as though she had not seen him and continued discussing matters with Takemura Akira as she walked past Yang Ming.

Yang Ming did not care either. He found a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of noodles and half a kilogram of beef, and began eating.

He was hungry!
