“No need, I’m not slow when I run!”

Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand and began to warm up, her slender legs tensing and relaxing, showcasing the beautiful curves honed from long training.

“My Sprinting Legs skill is already at Level 10!”

Then, to Bai Zhenzhen’s astonishment, a surge of magical power erupted from Zhang Yu’s body. In the next instant, he shot out dozens of meters, and then returned before her in a gust of wind.

“My lightness skill has now reached a first-rate delivery-boy level!”

What does it feel like to see your good brother suddenly have Sprinting Legs at Level 10, running faster than an electric scooter? Bai Zhenzhen’s first reaction was, of course, surprise.

“I’ve never seen Yu practice Sprinting Legs before! Could it be he’s been secretly delivering food every night?”

Her second thought was like seeing a brother buy a car: she wanted to ride it! Bai Zhenzhen leaped onto Zhang Yu’s back, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, and said, “Yu, give me a ride!”

In the next instant, Zhang Yu shot off with Bai Zhenzhen on his back, a gust of wind accompanying them as they sped towards the Dark Learning Gang’s territory.

Bai Zhenzhen rested her face against Zhang Yu’s back, watching the street scenes fly past, and said excitedly, “A’Yu, you’re so fast!”

“Am I?”

Although Zhang Yu had mastered many Level 10 skills, he had always been reluctant to reveal them easily.

Now, he finally showed off his Level 10 Sprinting Legs in front of A’Zhen, and Zhang Yu’s heart was filled with rare delight.

He chuckled in the wind, “This isn’t even my full power yet!”

Bai Zhenzhen: “Really? A’Yu, you’re amazing!”

Zhang Yu: “Hehe, see, isn’t it even faster now!”

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed, “So fast, so fast! A’Yu, can you go even faster?”

Zhang Yu: “Haha, watch me accelerate again!”

With a bang, Zhang Yu used his Elevator Leap, soaring across the intersection in a single bound.

Bai Zhenzhen brushed aside her golden wig, which was flying wildly in the wind, and thought to herself as she watched Zhang Yu run faster and faster with her praise, “Riding my brother is so exhilarating, no wonder so many people would rather get a ride on someone rather than call a taxi!”

Leaning against Zhang Yu’s back, feeling the surging heat of his blood, Bai Zhenzhen thought, “It’s just that this heater can’t be turned off, I feel like my body is being overheated…”

The next moment, with a soft splash, a spray of dirty water erupted beneath Zhang Yu’s feet, drenching Bai Zhenzhen’s leg.

“Zhang Yu, you’re going to die! Why did you step in a puddle of sewage!”

Zhang Yu said helplessly, “This part of the outskirts doesn’t have streetlights, I can’t see! Help me light the way with your phone!”

Bai Zhenzhen took out her phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the path ahead.

In the dark lane, the two moved forward under the faint light, moving further and further away from the neon city behind them.

Zhang Yu suddenly exclaimed, “What’s that hard thing poking me in the back?”

Bai Zhenzhen blushed, and said annoyed, “That’s my Spiritual Root!”

“It’s not like you’re borrowing it, I’ve been trying it out recently, and it keeps poking me in the stomach!”

Zhang Yu suddenly remembered something, “Right, don’t forget to ask for a Concealment Talisman!”

Looking at the constantly shaking Bai Zhenzhen in the camera and her tattooed face, Zhang Pianpian asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “Godmother, Zhang Yu is carrying me to the Dark Learning Gang’s territory, he wants you to give me a Concealment Talisman!”

Zhang Pianpian was silent for a moment, and then said, “It’s good that you can go to the gang to earn money by tutoring, it’s good to be working and studying!”

“But…do you plan to come to me every day and ask me to give you two Concealment Talismans?”

Then, Zhang Pianpian asked, “Doesn’t Zhang Yu have a Register of Talismans? Hasn’t he learned the Concealment Talisman yet?”

Zhang Yu took the phone, running as he said, “I just started earning money by tutoring, my finances are still tight. I’ll be able to afford to learn the Concealment Talisman after a while!”

“But I can’t draw talismans remotely yet, so I still need your help with A’Zhen’s side!”

Zhang Pianpian said calmly, “I think you two live together, wouldn’t it be better to go to work together every day?”

“Find a house between the Dark Learning Gang and Songyang High School to rent together, you can save on rent, make it easier to go to school and work, and the two of you can share a Register of Talismans to create talismans!”

Zhang Yu immediately began to calculate the time and prices in his mind, and then his eyes lit up, feeling that doing so was indeed cost-effective and could save a lot of money.

There was only one problem. Zhang Yu asked Bai Zhenzhen, “A’Zhen, are you renting?”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, “Nonsense, if my family could still afford a house, how would they have money to support my cultivation?”

Bai Zhenzhen continued, “Godmother is right, if I can have classes at the Dark Learning Gang, then let’s rent together. It’s definitely more cost-effective. Anyway, my parents went to work in another city, and I’ve always lived alone!”

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the Dark Learning Gang’s territory.

Bai Zhenzhen was introduced by Zhang Yu to Black Crow for an interview, while Zhang Yu went to his class.

Walking into the classroom, all he saw were muscular men sitting in rows, their bodies strong, their skin dark, and their faces showing the vicissitudes of life.

These were the students who came to take the Earth-Moving Palm course, almost all of whom came from construction sites and wanted to be more competitive when looking for work.

Zhang Yu heard that as more and more high school graduates were entering the work force each year, the competition for jobs on construction sites was becoming increasingly fierce, and the recruitment requirements for Earth-Moving Palm related positions had increased to Level 6 or higher just to get an interview.

Through the past few days of teaching and chatting during breaks, Zhang Yu had also gained an understanding of these students, whose average height was over 2 meters and whose average weight was over 300 pounds.

Some students had large, round bellies like balls, which Zhang Yu knew was due to having undergone gastrointestinal modification surgery, allowing them to survive on grass alone.

Some students had large, round, black pupils, which was due to having undergone night-vision surgery in order to compete for night-shift construction site jobs.

Most of them had flushed cheeks, rapid breathing, and were optimistic but intellectually challenged, which were the aftereffects of long-term use of inferior stimulants at work.

It was said that after learning about this, Purple Cloud Company wanted to improve the defects of this stimulant, but it was retained because the drug was so popular in the market.

Some construction sites even secretly added this stimulant to the employees’ drinking water, saying that it could improve work efficiency while effectively preventing employees from running away and being in arrears with wages. Although the manager involved was fired and bankrupted, it was still regarded by many companies as a classic case of corporate management.

At this moment, when Zhang Yu walked into the classroom, many students were still arguing loudly.

Some were complaining about the rising prices of synthetic food, after all, the synthetic food they used to eat was cheap, even if it was unpalatable.

Some were discussing going to work in other cities. It was said that the company wars in the north had caused a new wave of infrastructure construction, which could be described as a land of opportunity where jobs were easy to find, overtime was easy to approve, and rent was free, a good place where everyone could have a job and a place to live.

Others were excitedly talking about the high wages at the Oasis Tower construction site, saying that the Oasis Tower would be built to 1111 floors, becoming the new tallest building in Songyang City, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.

But with a cough from Zhang Yu, most of the students in the classroom quieted down, and Zhang Yu didn’t mind some of the students who were still talking foolishly.

Zhang Yu didn’t blame them, they weren’t stupid, they were just having their intelligence dulled by work.

“Alright, stop talking, it’s time to start class, otherwise I’ll wait for you to quiet down before starting class, and the lost time won’t be refunded!”

Zhang Yu knew that mentioning money was the most effective way to deal with these students from construction sites, after all, they were mostly very frugal except for spending on Dao Heart Buffer.

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned this, the scene immediately quieted down, and only Zhang Yu’s lectures were transmitted in the air.

Zhang Yu’s lecturing quality was naturally beyond doubt, especially considering that the students in front of him had their intelligence dulled by work, he lectured in an increasingly simple and easy-to-understand way. Coupled with his deep understanding of the muscles, the students gained a lot from each class.

After class, Zhang Yu came outside the small building and saw Bai Zhenzhen practicing her skills while waiting for him.

Seeing Zhang Yu appear, Bai Zhenzhen smiled and said, “The teachers who could conduct the trial lesson happened to be here today, so I took the trial lesson today, and I can come to class tomorrow, earning 2000 per class.”

Although the money was much less than Zhang Yu’s, Bai Zhenzhen was still very excited, after all, this was a long-term part-time job, and it was the highest-paid long-term rice bowl she had ever gotten in her life.

Zhang Yu was also delighted to hear this. After A’Zhen earned more money, she would have a better chance of improving her physical strength and participating in sports competitions.

On the way back, Zhang Yu still carried Bai Zhenzhen on his back all the way.

Bai Zhenzhen wrapped one arm around Zhang Yu’s neck and held her phone in the other, searching for rental information while resting on Zhang Yu’s back.

She frowned and said, “It’s hard to find a suitable house!”

Zhang Yu asked curiously, “What are your requirements?”

Bai Zhenzhen listed them one by one, “First of all, it has to be small and cheap, after all, the house is just for putting things, we spend little time there!”

“Secondly, it must have electricity and internet access, otherwise it’s too inconvenient!”

“It’s best if it’s a basement, so it’s convenient for exercising and you don’t have to worry about disturbing the people downstairs…”

“Damn, this kind of good house is too popular, it’s hard to find!”

Just then, the sky had gradually brightened, and the sun gradually rose from the direction of the city center of Songyang City, illuminating the road ahead for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

“It’s dawn before we knew it, well…today’s tutoring time was relatively late!”

Ordinary people had also begun to appear sporadically on the roadsides in the suburbs.

Zhang Yu saw the long lines in front of the stalls distributing synthetic food, and the memories of this body flooded into his mind.

His and Bai Zhenzhen’s figures were like a gust of wind, flashing past the eyes of these ordinary people, eliciting a trace of envy.

Zhang Yu thought, “If Zhang Yu hadn’t gotten into high school, he would probably be like these people now, or like his junior high school classmates, receiving relief food every day and doing low-income jobs for ordinary people, just muddling along in life?”

But the faces of the ordinary people lining up to receive food flashed through his mind, and he suddenly recalled those students in class today, and for a moment he couldn’t tell which were happier: these junior high school students or those high school graduates in his class today…

Bai Zhenzhen’s mind was still on finding a house, thinking about what kind of requirements the house should have if she was going to live with Zhang Yu, go to school together, and work together.

Just as she was constantly thinking about these things, she suddenly felt a emptiness in her lower abdomen.

Bai Zhenzhen was shocked, “Crap! My Spiritual Root is gone!”

At the same time, Zhang Yu, who was carrying Bai Zhenzhen, was also shocked, “Crap! What crawled into my back?”
