Cosmic Demon

Chapter 57: Same surname, different fate, same person, different path

"I worked so hard to get into Hengda and HKUST, and to enter a top university, just to get out of the job one day! To escape the fate of being a slave and look forward to a free life... Now, I have become a working soldier."

Qin Shi looked at the latest activated achievement with mixed feelings.

He concentrated his mind and scanned the passive skills provided by each profession.

[Focus: Focus on the task without distraction, such as memorizing, practicing questions, taking exams, etc., which can increase your brain power by 15%.]

[Patience: Don't be impatient or impatient, stay calm and composed. When facing groups such as naughty children, fairies, arrogant aunts, and grumpy uncles, your anger value remains stable and your verbal aggression is greatly increased.]

[Appropriateness: Your smile can make people feel harmonious and relax their guard. Your sexual orientation determines whether it is more effective for the opposite sex or the same sex.]

[Muscle-building meal: Even ordinary boiled chicken breast and broccoli can shine in your hands and achieve amazing results. ]

"But then again..."

Seeing the various effects brought by the professional skills, Qin Shi's eyes lit up slightly, and the feeling of not wanting to be a slave was instantly forgotten.

"Working is a way to support yourself, and it's not shameful! I love working!"

This achievement alone is equivalent to getting several skills for free.

Super cost-effective!

It’s a huge profit!
"I'm just waiting to be activated as a professional foot massage parlor technician. What does that mean? Do you want me to give people massages?"

Qin Shi wondered, could it be that professional certification depends on the scenes he has unlocked?
Schools, youth centers, nightclubs, gyms...

If I have the opportunity to visit the former residence of the first Martial God Yan Haishan someday, wouldn’t I be able to activate the “Executive Vice Emperor of Dongxia”?
After all, being an emperor was considered a high-paying, high-risk, top-notch profession in ancient times.

"Mr. Qin, my fitness team, from nutritionists to personal trainers, assistants, etc., are all the best industry elites."

It was difficult for Cao Bin to fully trust the training plan proposed by Qin Shi.

"Brother Cao, you can choose not to believe it."

Qin Shi shrugged. Cao Bin was not the only "student" option for him.

After Zhou Ning recovers and is discharged from the hospital, I will feed him muscle-building meals like crazy to improve his career progress.

"I'm willing to give it a try. Qin, please accept this super protein as a gift."

Cao Bin thought about it seriously. As a steroid fighter, he really didn't think that fitness meals could play any role.

A normal diet is no match for the powerful effects of acupuncture.

But thinking of the shocking scene in which Qin Shinu inserted nineteen needles without any side effects, he hesitated again and finally decided to try it for a while.

The Nine Dragons Combined Supreme Edition had been injected too many times, and the pain that even painkillers couldn't relieve was gradually increasing.

Every time feels like torture, and makes people feel a strong sense of fear.

"By the way, Brother Cao, where do the drugs sold by the coaches in your gym come from?"

After sending Cao Bin to the entrance of the alley, Qin Shi suddenly asked a question.

"The goods from Yancheng come from Mr. Qin's Yuhai Pharmaceutical. Lao Luo, Lao Li, Lao Chang and the others all get the goods directly from there. If you provide the students' drug trial reports, you can get a discount."

Cao Bin lowered his voice and replied:
"Boss Qin has done a lot of business over the years. The old factory street is about to be demolished and renovated. Such a large project was also contracted by Yuhai Urban Construction, which shows its strong strength."

Brother Ze’s big boss, Brother Hao, seems to also have the surname Qin.

Qin Shi was worried, everyone said that Chen and Lin controlled half of the world, and Qin and Zheng filled the streets.

The Qin family in Yancheng actually reaches so far.

"Boss Qin is running a pharmaceutical company and a hospital, providing one-stop services. They also have a stake in my gym chain."

Cao Bin said casually:
"Once the shantytowns in the old city are renovated and the old buildings are demolished, Mr. Qin's wealth is expected to increase several times, and he may officially move into the urban circle."

Although they both have the surname Qin, there is still a big difference between them.

Qin Shi complained in his heart and sent away Cao Bin, who was only thinking about gaining muscle. He turned back to Baogong Street, where he met Xie Yucheng with a large group of people.

"Ashi, I heard from the neighbors that a muscular man came to our house and specifically called for help!" Qin Shi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the group of underage guys behind Xie Yucheng, who were wearing flip-flops, flowery shorts, and holding spicy hot pot in their right hands and skewers in their left hands.

I feel like this group of people is not enough for me to defeat alone.

"Brother Cheng, let the brothers go back for supper. They came to give gifts, not to find fault."

Qin Shi took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the pockets of Xie Yucheng who was holding his shoulder.

"Please brothers, please come all the way here and ask them to add some dishes."

Xie Yucheng was not polite. Anyway, Qin Shi served fruit plates at the midnight palace every night and received a lot of tips.

"Ayuan and Ze are here, do you want to go over and join a table?"

Following Xie Yucheng's eye signal, Qin Shi turned sideways and looked over, passing the dropouts who usually wandered the streets, and saw Li Yuan and Cheng Ze standing next to a car on the side of the road.

The former was shielding the latter from the wind and lighting a cigarette.

"Isn't the palace open for work at midnight tonight? Why are all of you outside?"

Qin Shi asked.

"Brother Ze took over a job from a big boss. He said that Baogong Street, Weigong Street, and Jianshe Street will all be demolished in the future. He came to take a look at the situation."

Xie Yucheng put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile:

“This time we are going to demolish all the old houses and mansions and turn them into places for clothing stores and karaoke bars.

Maybe, Brother Yuan and I will come here to look after the place from now on."

Qin Shi said "oh" and seemed to hear the rumbling sound of an excavator:
"No wonder there are several bulldozers parked near the Shimen Archway. Brother Cheng, I won't go. My sister hasn't eaten yet. If the Midnight Palace doesn't start construction, I'll go home and cook for her."

Lightly punching Qin Shi's increasingly broad shoulders with his fists, Xie Yucheng's tone was full of envy:

"See you later. You've become stronger and stronger with Lao Liang's training. I feel your muscle lines are more obvious!"

The huge increase in vitality not only brings vigor and vitality to the new stage, but also subtly shapes the body.

Now, the broad shoulders, narrow waist and inverted triangle body proportions add a bit of masculine and tough temperament to the formerly handsome and gentle Qin Shi.

He nodded and smiled:
"See you later, Brother Cheng. Say thank you to Brother Ze and Brother Yuan for me."

The two parted ways, and Xie Yucheng trotted across the road:

"Brother Ze, Ah Shi said he has to take care of his sister and won't eat with us."

Cheng Ze held a cigarette in his mouth, with his hands on the roof of the car, looking at Qin Shi's back blending into the night scene of Jiuchang Street, and then looking around at the brothers who were playing and fighting around him.

The midsummer night breeze swept across the long street, and the colorful billboards flashed, as if dividing the world into two sides.

The bright lights here didn't seem as warm as the ones in the shed.

He suddenly understood why Teacher Liang liked this "junior brother" so much.

"People are affected by the environment throughout their lives, just like a sapling cannot get rid of the soil. Aze, you want to be a dandelion and fly far away, but have you ever thought that a dandelion can only float with the wind, it has no choice, once the wind stops, it will fall to the ground."

Cheng Ze exhaled smoke, his eyes were dazed, and he seemed to hear the words that Teacher Liang said to him before leaving Jiuchang Street.

"A truly strong person knows how to firmly plant his roots, grow downwards, and support himself to reach higher in the sky and soak up more sunshine..."

He lowered his head and smiled, then put out his half-smoked cigarette and threw the butt into the drain at his feet:

"Ashi's route is different from everyone else's. Get in the car, I'll take you to see Jianshe Street. That road will be turned into a big commercial center in the future. Do you know what a commercial center is? Have you never been to an urban area? It's a very prosperous place where you can watch movies and play video games."

Cheng Ze bent down and got into the car, and Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng followed him into the front seat, one acting as the driver and the other chatting. The others also got on their electric scooters and gathered in groups of three or four to follow the moving car.

The sky is dotted with stars and the moon is bright.

The young people on Jiuchang Street are each heading towards different directions in life, following the grand yet imperceptible tide of the times.
