It was Lin Chen!
When Boss Song saw that it was Lin Chen, a trace of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
Knowing something about the boy's background, he nodded and said:
"You'll do. Your overtime pay tonight will be an extra hundred yuan!"
"Thanks, Boss Song!"
Lin Chen grinned.
The other workers instantly regretted it when they saw this!
If they'd known killing fish came with an extra hundred yuan in overtime pay!
Why had they complained about the fishy smell?!
Under everyone's envious gazes,
Lin Chen followed Boss Song to RT-Mart.
Boss Song was a minor supervisor at Chuan City Seventh Food Factory.
Because he saw that Lin Chen had it rough, he had made an exception and let a student work there.
Fortunately, he hadn't misjudged the boy.
Whenever there was dirty or exhausting work, Lin Chen always rushed to do it!
And now RT-Mart was short-staffed again tonight.
If Lin Chen hadn't stepped in to help, Boss Song felt like he would have gotten angry again!
"This is the place. Get to killing. They're all mutant species, so be careful!"
"Here! This is tonight's pay!"
Looking at the red bills handed over to him,
Lin Chen smiled bitterly.
He pointed at the fish pond on the ground and said:
"Boss Song, isn't it inappropriate to give me money before I've even done the work?"
"Cut the crap!" Boss Song pulled out a cigarette and said:
"Take it when I tell you to take it. Who told me to think so highly of you?"
"Alright!"
Without saying another word, Lin Chen nodded and pocketed the consolation money!
"You brat!"
"Work hard!"
"In a couple of years, you can be my assistant!"
Boss Song shook his head slightly, then blew out a ring of smoke and left!
After he left,
Lin Chen sat down with practiced ease.
Looking at the various mixed fish in the pond, his eyes burned with excitement!
Having often made fish head soup for his younger sister, he was naturally very skilled at killing fish!
First, smack the head!
Then remove the scales!
Finally, gut it and clean out the innards.
[ Ding! Killed a Mutant Grass Carp. Qi-Blood Value +0.01! ]
0.01?
Lin Chen frowned and couldn't help taking another look at the thoroughly dead Mutant Grass Carp in his hand.
Could it be that mutant traits made them more valuable?
Unable to spare time thinking about it,
Lin Chen picked up the pace!
[ Ding! Killed a Mutant Grass Carp. Qi-Blood Value +0.01! ] [ Ding! Killed a Mutant Silver Carp. Qi-Blood Value +0.01! ] [ Ding! Killed a Mutant Catfish. Qi-Blood Value +0.01! ]
The pleasant dings rang out endlessly.
As Lin Chen raised and lowered his knife, he enjoyed himself more and more!
His face was full of smiles as he grew stronger and happier!
So much so that when a cafeteria auntie passed by, she couldn't help reminding him:
"Lin Chen, have you been under a lot of pressure lately? Why do I feel like your smile is... a little bit creepy?"
Lin Chen: "..."
After slaughtering fish like mad for three hours,
RT-Mart No. 1 Fish Pond was officially cleared out!
Lying in a chair, Lin Chen rubbed his wrists!
His face was full of excitement!
[ Name: Lin Chen! ] [ Age: 18! ] [ Realm: 0 ] [ Qi-Blood Value: 151.003/300! ]
In less than three hours,
his Qi-Blood Value had risen from 101 to 151!
Lin Chen had never expected such a breakthrough speed!
Looking at the emptied fish pond, he suddenly felt restless!
"Auntie! Bring another basket of fish!"
"No!"
"I want ten baskets of fish! One basket per person!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
He killed from night until dawn!
Lin Chen slaughtered a full thirty baskets of fish!
If Boss Song hadn't run over to stop him, he probably would have kept killing!
"Are you crazy?! They're only paying you a hundred yuan! Why are you risking your life for it?!"
Lin Chen smiled.
I'm not interested in money. I just like killing fish!
"Here! Another two hundred for you!" Seeing Lin Chen grinning foolishly, Boss Song took out another two hundred yuan and said:
"Go home. Take earning money slowly. I know you still have to support your sister. Don't rush yourself. Your health matters!"
Looking at the two hundred yuan handed to him, Lin Chen naturally accepted it.
After working all night, he had long been starving!
But he would remember Boss Song's kindness too!
"See you tomorrow night, Boss Song. I still want to kill fish!"
After tossing out those words,
Lin Chen turned around, waved, and strode off coolly.
"Are you insane?!"
"You still want to kill?"
"Have you gone crazy from killing fish?!"
Boss Song watched his departing back, his expression somewhat complicated!
Did something happen to his family?
Why was he suddenly working so desperately?
But one thing was for sure.
He was really damn good at killing fish!
The sky over Chuan City had just begun to brighten at dawn.
Other than a few sanitation workers, there was almost no one else on the road.
The chilly morning wind was still cold.
Yet the skinny Lin Chen felt his body burning hot.
It wasn't because he was feeling frisky. He was just too damn strong!
He had killed from night until daybreak.
Thirty whole baskets of fish had raised his Qi-Blood Value from 151 to 251!
In less than a single day!
His Qi-Blood Value was already comparable to Big Silly Girl Shen Yingqing's!
Thinking of this,
Lin Chen took out his phone and checked it.
Sure enough, Shen Yingqing had sent him a scheduled message.
"It's been 94 days. Where the hell did you go?"
"You're online and still not replying? Looking to get beaten up?"
Get beaten up?
Lin Chen smiled. Those days were over!
The Lin Chen who had once been pinned down and beaten by Big Silly Girl no longer existed!
"Busy!"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yingqing got up on schedule and prepared for class.
When she saw a reply on her phone, she subconsciously thought it was the morning bulletin from Chuan City Martial Arts Base.
But when she looked closely,
Lin Chen was actually alive!
"Busy with what?" Shen Yingqing pouted. "I thought you were dead. You still remembered to reply to me?"
"Busy killing fish at RT-Mart!" Lin Chen replied, "Forget about me. My heart has long been as cold as the knife I use to kill fish!"
Shen Yingqing: "???"
Shen Yingqing: "What are you talking about?!"
After sending the message, Lin Chen put away his phone.
After killing fish at RT-Mart all night, there was no way he didn't stink!
There were still two hours before class, and his younger sister should be awake by now.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Lin Chen ran toward a breakfast shop!
After buying two bowls of noodles and ten large meat buns, he hurried home!
When he pushed open the apartment door, the lights on the second floor were indeed already on.
He could also hear his sister washing up in the first-floor bathroom!
"Lin Jia, come eat noodles! There are ten big meat buns today too!"
"I went fishing too far away last night, so I didn't come home. Hurry up and eat!"
Hearing her brother call out, Lin Jia wiped her mouth and walked out of the bathroom.
Looking at her energetic, smiling brother, as well as the noodles and meat buns on the table, Lin Jia's nose stung!
"Is the smell too fishy? I'll wash up right away!"
"Hurry and eat! It's still hot! The noodles won't taste good once they get soggy!"
Seeing that his sister's eyes were a little red,
Lin Chen hurried toward the bathroom.
As he passed by her, his younger sister suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Brother! Don't worry, I'll do well on my exams!"
"Once I become a Martial Artist, I'll get you a big villa, a luxury car, and a beautiful wife!"
Hearing those words with his back turned, Lin Chen suddenly felt like there was sand in his eyes!
Looking at his more sensible younger sister, warmth filled his heart!
"Lin Jia has grown up and become sensible!"
"Alright! Brother knows!"
"Forget the hug. I really do stink!"
"Hurry up and eat! Go on!"
After entering the bathroom,
Lin Chen looked at the handsome boy with the crew cut in the mirror!
He sighed and said:
"Damn! I actually cried because I'm too handsome!"
