Chapter 471: Chapter 0471: Lack of Money (Third Update Request for Subscription)
Inside Bai Jing restaurant.
Su Lu sat on a chair staring at the attribute panel.
“True Spirit, only appears in creatures with intelligence and involves the mystery of the soul… It’s also the source of experience points in the attribute panel.”
“Before, when I defeated ordinary human opponents, I also gained experience.”
“But those two guys…”
Su Lu sighed: “Does this mean that Bai Jing’s ‘bottom line’ is really too low?”
He had noticed a long time ago, the gaining of experience points in the attribute panel was related to the strength comparison between him and his opponents.
In fact, it was a comparison of the strength of the True Spirits.
“Now… it shows that all my abilities have really been reduced to the limit. I am even worse than an ordinary person, that’s why I could gain experience from those two guys.”
Su Lu looked serious.
Of course, to gain experience points, he used some untranscendental, simple hypnotic methods to severely strike the minds of the two men.
This was also a kind of damage to the True Spirit.
At least, every time they think of themselves in the future, they will be dominated by fear, and their emotions will be low for a long time.
“This is indeed a source of experience points, but… can there be a way in this society to fight people every day? I’m afraid if I do it a few times, I’d end up in jail, right?”
“The two guys in flower shirts today, they are neither black nor white. They won’t make a fuss until they receive apparent injury…Will I have to keep borrowing money and deal with various fighters? Forget it…”
Su Lu rolled his eyes, took out his mobile phone and started to search.
Isn’t it just fighting openly? There are plenty of opportunities on the internet!
It didn’t take long for a bunch of search results to come up:
“Blue Sky International Karate Training Class, don’t let your child lose in the race!”
“Inherit ancient martial arts, promote traditional virtues.”
“Ah Hao Boxing Gym, professional boxing coach!”
…
“Forget about the first karate one, it’s for seven or eight years old kids to sign up. Are they going there to play?”
Su Lu checked several combat training gyms for adults on some forums and found they have good reviews.
It’s just a bit expensive.
He’s not short of change, he’s short of everything!
“Lack of money, it’s really annoying. Can’t do anything illegal…at least not before I have the ability to protect myself.”
Su Lu reached into his pocket, seemed a little upset.
In fact, he still has a few hundred yuan in his card, enough for a few trial classes. But how about after that?
Not to mention the rent, water and electricity…
It’s almost the end of the month. If he can’t get the money, he’ll have to sleep on the street!
Robbery with fighting skills? That’s ridiculous!
“The essential point of current development…endurance! I must endure until the first Spirit Tide comes…no…with the technology and military strength of this world, the improvement after the first Spirit Tide may not bring much change. I have to hold on.”
Su Lu looked at the restaurant and sighed: “It seems this is the only way.”
He needs a way to make a living in this city, so he won’t starve to death.
With a thought, Su Lu pulled up the attribute panel:
“Ding! Spend 5 experience points to upgrade cooking skill level? YesNo?”
“Yes!”
The cost of upgrading pure life skills was unbelievably low.
“Ding! Cooking skill LV1 → LV2!”
In an instant, many memories of cooking surged into Su Lu’s brain. These were the memories that this body had practiced hard before.
But now, there are still a lot of areas for improvement. Even the posture of stirring a pot doesn’t seem quite right.
It’s as if a person has suddenly ‘opened his mind’.
Su Lu looked at his hand and felt that his hands were incredibly steady. No matter what action, there was no tremor. Even professional surgeons would be envious.
“If cooking skill LV1 is ‘beginner’ level, now I’m barely considered ‘skilled’, right?”
Su Lu pondered in his heart, it was probably about the same as the cooking skills of an ordinary housewife. It’s fine for me to eat, but if I want to open a restaurant and make money, it’s still a lot worse.
“Ding! Spend 10 experience points, the cooking skill LV2 → LV3!”
The level of LV3 is probably the level of a professional chef… Ah… looking at this, Bai Jing’s previous learning career was just fooling around.”
Su Lu shook his head and started preparing for the next day’s work.
Life is like this, if you can’t resist it, you just have to enjoy it.
He calmly adjusted the water and kneaded the dough… His mood had become incredibly calm.
From the once high and mighty sixth-tier professional to the bottom of society, it’s also an interesting experience.
Even though other mythical professionals might have a mental breakdown.
But his spirit was incredibly resilient, fearless of any storm.
…
The next day, early morning.
Li Weiwei was rubbing her sleepy face, walking on the street in high heels, fleeting a casual glance.
“Huh? Bai Jing restaurant is open again, huh! Not operating on time, thinking I will come a second time?”
She thought to herself, holding her head high, walked past the restaurant.
“Hm?”
A waft of aroma floated by.
It was the smell of steamed buns, the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of flour, constantly spreading outward under the steam of the steam basket.
“Soup dumplings? When did they have a new product? Was all the preparation yesterday for this?”
Li Weiwei glanced curiously and found that the restaurant business seemed… quite busier than before?
Although the person who’s always busy is still the same old Bai Jing.
“Forget it, on account of my favorite soup dumpling, I’ll give you one last chance.”
She walked into the shop, proficiently took out her mobile phone: “Boss, a basket of soup dumplings.”
“Okay, that’ll be ten yuan.”
Su Lu handed over the steam basket.
“Huh?”
Li Weiwei searched around: “Where’s the QR code?”
“Sorry, this shop only takes cash!”
Su Lu spread his hands, pointing at the notice on the wall.
“Bai Jing, you’ve gone too far!” Li Weiwei looked at the new notice crazily: “It… it wasn’t like this originally.”
“Sorry, changed it yesterday.”
Su Lu’s smile remained the same.
As a debtor, of course, he needed to have a cash flow. Otherwise, his bank account could be frozen one day.
“I…”
Li Weiwei turned to leave, but seeing the soup dumplings already on the table, she couldn’t bring herself to return them.
“Alright.”
She took out her wallet, finally found cash, and paid. After paying, she was already burning with anger and vowed secretly ‘I’m never coming to this crappy shop again.’
After Su Lu walked away, she stared at Su Lu’s back, bit the soup dumpling angrily, her frown suddenly softened:
“Huh? It’s really delicious!”
…
“In the catering industry, if done right, it’s all super profitable.”
After selling out the breakfast, Su Lu counted the money while skillfully finding a piece of white paper to write a ‘Closed for the afternoon’ notice, then strolled out onto the street.
He planned to go to several combat gyms that he had spotted to learn and hit people… oh no, combat!
