"What ten bucks?" An Lu looked at Mu Rufeng in confusion.
"Give me ten bucks, and I'll tell you," Mu Rufeng said.
An Lu froze for a moment, as if he had suffered a tremendous insult.
His lips began to twitch, accompanied by the strange sound of teeth grinding.
It was the sound of his sharp teeth scraping against each other.
"We should help each other. You..." An Lu did not want to pay.
"Ten bucks. Give it to me, and I'll tell you," Mu Rufeng said.
"Fine!" After a moment of silence, An Lu finally pulled out a ten-yuan bill and handed it to Mu Rufeng.
After taking it, Mu Rufeng immediately said, "I was born with Heavenly Strength, and I used to work as a loader too, so I unload cargo very quickly."
"That's it?" An Lu was plainly stunned.
"That's it. I already told you," Mu Rufeng said, dragging the cargo farther inside.
An Lu did not stop Mu Rufeng or call out to him. He merely stared at Mu Rufeng with cold eyes.
Rumble—
Just then, another large truck wreathed in dense black mist pulled up before the Liquor Warehouse and began backing in.
Before long, it had parked beside the loading platform.
An Lu glanced over, immediately stepped forward, and pressed his hand directly into the black mist.
The next second, the corners of An Lu's lips lifted slightly.
He looked at Mu Rufeng, then at the large truck he had originally been preparing to unload, before immediately heading into the warehouse.
Mu Rufeng paid it no mind. Nor did he return to the truck to continue unloading.
He had promised driver Chang Feng that he would slack off outside. By his calculations, he still needed to loaf around for at least another twenty minutes.
He did not plan to slack off until it was almost time to meet the unloading requirement, either. After all, he had not yet become a full employee.
Holding a roll of stretch film and pulling his pallet jack, Mu Rufeng wandered around the cargo-staging area at the front of the warehouse.
He did not dare go inside the warehouse. He was only a Temporary Worker now, and if someone caught him with something to hold over his head, things would turn ugly.
Only a few minutes later, Wang Kun and An Lu emerged from the warehouse side by side.
"Mu Rufeng, why aren't you unloading? What are you wandering around here for?" The moment Wang Kun saw Mu Rufeng, he barked at him.
"Oh, Supervisor Wang. I was looking for pallets," Mu Rufeng said.
"Are you blind? Aren't the pallets over there? Don't run around again next time," Wang Kun said coldly.
"Understood, Supervisor Wang," Mu Rufeng replied.
"Oh, right. Two more trucks have arrived. After you finish unloading that truck, unload the one on the right. An Lu, you unload the one on the left," Wang Kun instructed.
"No problem, Supervisor Wang." Before Mu Rufeng could speak, An Lu stepped forward and patted his chest.
Though Mu Rufeng found it somewhat strange, he did not care much. "All right. By the way, Supervisor Wang, may I ask what our working hours are?"
Hearing this, Wang Kun raised his left hand, glanced at the mechanical watch on it, and said, "It's ten past eight now. We start at six in the morning and finish at twelve. There's a one-hour break at noon. We start again at one in the afternoon and finish at six in the evening."
"After work tonight, come find me in the office. I'll arrange your lodging. Go to the cafeteria for meals. If you don't know where it is, ask An Lu."
"All right, get to work." Wang Kun waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Work hard. If you can't finish unloading, you can come ask me for help." Smiling, An Lu patted Mu Rufeng on the shoulder and strode toward the truck on the left.
Mu Rufeng had previously seen An Lu set out the pallets and prepare to unload the truck on the right. Yet after coming out with Wang Kun, he was unloading the one on the left instead.
Needless to say, the cargo in these two trucks was different. Perhaps the truck assigned to him carried cargo that was even harder to unload.
Mu Rufeng did not care much. He walked straight up to the truck.
He reached out and pressed his hand directly against the mass of black mist.
In an instant, information about the cargo appeared in his mind.
Blood Flower Beer Net content: 580 ml Ingredients: Corpse water, fresh blood, hop demons, wheat man-eating worms, yeast worms Effect: Slightly bitter in taste. Drinking it grants a temporary increase in mental attributes and causes a drunken state. Long-term consumption can slowly raise mental attributes. Shelf life: Twelve months Production date: XX year X month X day Friendly reminder: Fragile item. Please handle with care. Damages must be compensated at full price.
Mu Rufeng did not care about anything else. He only cared about the final line.
"Fragile item. Handle with care. Damages must be compensated at full price, huh?" Mu Rufeng pondered it carefully.
This Blood Flower Beer came in glass bottles, twelve bottles to a case.
Because they were glass bottles, they had to be handled gently during loading and unloading, or they would be extremely easy to break.
If Mu Rufeng wanted to unload them, he could not toss them around as casually as he had unloaded Scarlet Eyeballs before.
On top of that, Blood Flower Beer came in cardboard boxes, so he could not grab a case in one hand either.
His unloading speed might drop considerably.
Mu Rufeng withdrew his hand and turned to look at An Lu.
An Lu had already begun unloading. Four or five tentacles were working at once, each holding up two cases of cargo.
He was moving very quickly.
Mu Rufeng also noticed that the cargo An Lu was unloading seemed to be something like instant noodles.
The difference in difficulty between An Lu's instant noodles and Mu Rufeng's Blood Flower Beer was obvious at a glance.
How could Mu Rufeng fail to see through An Lu's little scheme?
Still, Mu Rufeng found something odd. Was this not the Liquor Warehouse? Why were instant noodles parked here? Shouldn't they have been parked at the Snack Warehouse?
Mu Rufeng could not figure it out and could not be bothered to think about it. He immediately pulled over another stack of pallets with the pallet jack and brought them to the truck.
Yes, Mu Rufeng intended to start unloading the Blood Flower Beer right away.
Slacking off? Not a chance. He was going to work hard and earn money properly.
He had not forgotten Chang Feng's reminder.
He took down a pallet and set it in place.
The black mist around the truck's rear door had already dispersed. Mu Rufeng shoved both hands beneath the cargo, and with great strength came great miracles—he actually carried out four cases of beer at once.
The net content of Blood Flower Beer was 580 ml. Including the glass bottle, each bottle weighed around 1.1 kilograms.
There were twelve bottles per case. Ignoring the cardboard box, that came to a total of 26.4 kilograms.
Four cases came to roughly 105 kilograms. To Mu Rufeng, that bit of weight was still light as a feather.
He handled them gently and set the four cases down.
He recalled that beer should be stacked five layers high, with seventeen cases per layer.
Four across in three rows, then five upright in one row, for a total of seventeen.
However, stacking cargo that way required alternating the arrangement, which would make the stack more stable.
Mu Rufeng had taken this into account, so each time, he only carried three cases.
The first, second, and third layers remained in the same arrangement, while the fourth and fifth layers were alternated.
At the same time, for the fourth and fifth layers, he directly used both hands to lift two layers—four cases at once—for stacking.
As a result, his speed was actually even faster than when he stacked Scarlet Eyeballs.
And Mu Rufeng handled every case gently, so there was absolutely no chance of damage.
