I am weak and friendly

Chapter 31: The Job Change Path for the Carrion Eater
Tang Yiping leaned back comfortably in his chair, enjoying Lola's pushing.

He was so engrossed in coding today that he forgot to charge his phone. I was worried the battery wouldn't last, but now I don't have to worry.

Human batteries are now available.

I just don't know how many kilometers Lola can travel.
What is the top speed?

It must have a longer battery life than a battery that costs 500 yuan.

As a test dog, Tang Yiping really wanted to test it out.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Lola said, "I've arrived at my lair!"

"Where?" Tang Yiping was a little confused.

In front of him was a pile of messy garbage.

"Here it is! Can't you see such a perfect nest?!"

Tang Yiping stared at it for a long time before finally spotting a cardboard box.

No way, Lola.

Can't you use even a little bit of imagination? It's still a cardboard box!

"This time, my lair is in a more perfect location; it will definitely protect me!"

Then Tang Yiping watched as Lola crawled into the cardboard box next to the pile of garbage, a box not much bigger than a microwave oven, folded and tucked her limbs in, pulled her head inside, and then reached out from inside to close the lid of the box.

A memorable scene! I saw it! The famous scene that scared Aunt Zhang to tears!
No wonder Aunt Zhang was scared. To be honest, Tang Yiping had only seen this kind of scene in horror movies before, and it was really a bit creepy.

As expected of a prosthetic body, its flexibility is truly admirable.

“Li Ke Boren, this is my lair, isn’t it impressive!” Lola’s voice came from inside, sounding a bit muffled.

You're really something! I wonder which scavenging auntie will be scared to death by you tomorrow.

Aunt Zhang probably won't dare to pick up cardboard boxes for a long time.

“It’s very spacious inside! Would you like to come in?” Lola said again.

No, I don't want to go in.

Lola's head suddenly popped out from the gap in the cardboard box again: "Li Ke Boren, thank you for saving me today! In return, please let me tell you about the advancement path of the [Scavenger]!"

She paused for a moment: "This is the only thing I have that has any value now."

At that moment, the scene was actually quite terrifying.

On top of a box, there was a girl's head, which was speaking.

The dim light from the streetlamp cast a heavy shadow on her fragile face.

But at this moment, Tang Yiping suddenly felt that the soul hidden in such a beautiful body... wasn't so ugly after all.

They're just a bit stupid.

If users of the "Survival Guide for the Weak" forum, such as Lola's friend, are all like this, then having a few more wouldn't be a big deal.

In fact, the more the better.

Tang Yiping quite liked it.

But the blond guy, forget it.

"Actually, I'm not sure if my path is suitable for you, because it's the popular path in our world. There are probably many skills you won't be able to learn, but you can take it as a reference."

Perhaps because she was bathed in Tang Yiping's brilliance, Lola was unusually composed and spoke very logically: "【Carrion】 is the core skill of 【Carrion Eater】. Before this, I learned a perception skill 【Carrion Perception】 and an active skill 【Corruption Spray】. One of these skills can find corrupted things, and the other can accelerate the corruption of the target. With these two skills, plus 【Carrion】, I can continuously find corrupted things and accelerate their corruption."

I understand. One is a perception skill that finds corrupted things; another is an active skill that applies a corruption debuff to others; and combined with [Carrion Eater] itself, it's a sustain and core skill.

This is a great combo. As I knew, skills are indeed more powerful when combined with other skills.

"Hmm... if that's the case, my [Weakness Insight] and [Stab-in-the-Knife Technique] are actually quite suitable!"

Otherwise, I would advance to the level of a "carrion eater"?

Tang Yiping thought this was a good idea.

“Well then, Rick Boren, thank you for everything you did for me tonight. I hope our next deal goes well! Good luck! See you at the next deal!” Lola pulled her head back into the box. As a result, her baseball cap accidentally remained outside. She struggled to reach out and pull it back in.

Tang Yiping stared at the cardboard box for a while.

The cardboard box remained motionless; Lola looked as if she were dead inside.

Judging from this, it seems she intends to wait for the deal to happen in her own lair.

Okay, tomorrow morning, you and the scavenging auntie are definitely going to be scared to death!
The day after tomorrow, it might scare someone to death...

To avoid this happening...

Tang Yiping stepped forward and gently tapped the box.

"What? Rick Boren? Are you coming in too?" Lola's voice came through. "Okay... wait a minute, let me make room..."

What the hell? Make some room for me? Do you really expect me to squeeze in?

“Come on, come out, I’ll take you somewhere,” Tang Yiping said.

"Where to?" Lola asked warily. "I'm already inside the lair!"

"You've already told me how to advance in the [Carrion Eater] class, so I can't just take your information for nothing," Tang Yiping said. "Let's go, I'll take you to learn [Carrion Eater]."

This world is still too dangerous for her. Let her learn as soon as possible, and go back early after the transaction tomorrow.

The box started moving violently with a "crash, crash, crash" sound, almost tearing itself apart. After a moment, it quieted down again.

"Li Ke Boren, can you help me?" Lola asked weakly.

"what happened?"

"I...I'm stuck..."

……

Ze Ge has finished get off work.

Since persuading the company to change its focus from finding bugs to refactoring, Ze Ge's pressure has suddenly decreased.

Although the tasks ahead are heavy, they no longer feel as uncontrollable as before.

More importantly, Tang Yiping's performance was so good that it greatly relieved her anxiety.

"Are you serious? Pingzi finished writing the algorithm module in just one day?" Gao Yuxiang and Ze Ge left work together, neither of them driving today, walking side by side towards the subway station. "Ze Ge, are you sure? Did you look at his code?"

"Actually, I wrote it yesterday," Ze thought to himself.

"I read part of it, and to be honest... I didn't quite understand it." Ze Ge said, somewhat confused.

Gao Yuxiang turned to look at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"After so many years in this line of work, I can still tell the difference between 'That's amazing, but I don't understand it' and 'What is this? I don't understand it at all'..." Brother Ze said helplessly.

"Hiss..." Gao Yuxiang gasped. "Is it really true? Brother Ze, do you think he'll finish the whole module by tomorrow?!"

"Who knows?" Ze Ge's eyes were a little unfocused. Tang Yiping had been writing all night again last night, and maybe he's almost finished by now?

The shock that Tang Yiping brought to her was truly immense.

She knew Tang Yiping was very capable, and she believed he was very capable, but she didn't know that Tang Yiping was actually this capable.

“I thought I was efficient enough, but I didn’t expect him to be so much more efficient than me,” Gao Yuxiang said. “I’ve always considered myself a 10X programmer (an industry term for programmers who are ten times more efficient), but now it seems he is the real deal…”

“His is 100X,” Ze Ge said.

"No, I have to see his code tomorrow," Gao Yuxiang said. "I want to see what kind of code Ze-ge can't understand!"

As the two were talking, Gao Yuxiang suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and abruptly pulled Ze Ge into the corner.

“Look, it’s Pingzi!” Gao Yuxiang said. “He…he’s not rummaging through the trash again, is he?”

"No way, didn't I feed him tonight?" Ze Ge asked, bewildered.

A moment later, both of their eyes welled up with tears:
"So...he also has to support his younger sister...waaaaaah...so pitiful..."
